Hosto (2023) Movie Script
1
I am Patrick, twenty-six years old.
My life story is not that different
from other young men.
The Lord changed
my life when CA was born.
He is not like other kids.
Since that day, I swore that
whatever happens, Id raise my son well.
As long as I am alive.
7 I was impulsive in my youth.
8 I thought what I felt was true love.
9 But I was wrong.
I just got carried away by earthly desires.
Then someone came into my tumultuous life.
He slowly guided me towards the right path.
Our relationship may seem wrong to
society and is considered as a sin by God.
But for me, one of the most beautiful
things that happened in my life,
was the day I met Daniel.
- Daniel.
- Yes?
Thank you for everything.
- So dramatic.
- No, I mean it.
Thank you. If it hadnt been for your
help, I wouldnt be able to go to Japan.
Id do anything for you. You
know I love you very much.
Dont measure my love by
the money I spend on you.
No, its not the money.
Everything you've done for me,
how youve been helping
me, I really owe you a lot.
You dont have to pay
your debt of gratitude.
Whats important is that youre here.
Enough of that.
Its Vicky.
- Hello?
- Hello, Daniel! How are you?
Are Patricks documents ready?
Yes, they're all complete.
Everything you need.
His visa, school papers,
letter of acceptance, even
his highschool diploma.
- I have them all here. - That's good.
I also e-mailed you his flight details.
Ill check. Ill take care of your darling.
- His class is from 9 to 12.
- Hell be done with school by lunch time,
after school, hell go
straight to your souvenir shop.
Sure.
That's just 1 to 5 right? Dont
worry, this kid works hard.
Really?
Hell be able to fulfill his
dream to study in Japan,
- so he can work there.
- Thats all because of you.
Thank you my friend. See you soon.
- Dont worry, Ill take care of him.
- Okay
- See you soon. - See you! Bye!
Whats that?
For your expenses.
Youll need this, take it.
Thank you, Daniel, you're really kind.
Thank you.
[chattering]
- Hi Patrick!
- Hey, Patricks here!
- Son.
- Patrick.
- I'm glad you're here.
- I just got my documents from Daniel.
- Your papers are all good?
- Yes, I have them here.
- Are you sure they're complete?
- Yes, Dad.
- Have you eaten?
- Im good, Mom.
- We still have sardines.
- I just dropped by to give you this.
To help with the expenses here.
Thank you, weve actually
ran out of money, son.
- What food would you like?
- Im fine.
I really just wanted to hand you that.
- Thank you.
- Okay, I still need to pack my things.
- You will be leaving now?
- Yes, Dad.
- You take care, okay?
- I will.
- I forgot.
- Yes?
Daniel will have a farewell
lunch for me tomorrow.
- Well eat at a restaurant.
- Really?
Wear something nice.
- If you say so!
- Dad, please take a bath.
Of course, well be eating out!
- Thank you.
- Okay, Mom. See you tomorrow.
- Bye.
- You take care.
Patricks a really good person.
Lets eat.
You eat a lot, okay?
- Where have you been?
- I went to Moms house.
- How are they doing? - Theyre okay.
- Delicious!
- Very good.
How's Daniel?
He already took care of all
my requirements for Japan.
Thats great. You eat now.
Later, Ill just take a shower.
- Lets just eat when CAs done, alright?
- Okay.
You dont want any more?
[chattering]
Son, always remember, value your
education and study well when youre there.
And of course, do not forget
how Daniel has helped
all of us, especially you.
- Yes, Dad.
- Never forget that.
- Son, be careful there.
- You too, take care of yourselves, okay?
Of course.
Patrick, don't forget your gifts for me.
Even used items as long as
they're branded.
Remember: second hand but branded!
- Me, I just want cup noodles.
- What kind?
Noodles are cheap there.
"Nissan" seafood noodles.
What do you mean? Nissans a car!
Oh, I meant Nissin. Nissin ramen.
How long is your flight?
I think four hours.
Three and a half hours.
Where in Japan will you go?
I think its Fukuoka, or...
Is it Kita.. Kitakyushu?
Son, its also my dream to go to Japan.
Is it cold there?
They say its cold there now.
- Does it snow there?
- Im not sure.
I think CA can sense that he wont be
seeing me for a long time. Hes quiet.
Good thing our grandsons
with us in this trip.
- He still doesnt know.
- Hes a good boy.
Son, take care.
Thanks. Aunt, take care of things here.
Make sure you dont forget!
Bring home gifts for us.
Take care now, okay?
All baggage must be
stowed in the nearest storage.
Do not place baggage in
the aisle, or around the exit.
Patrick!
- Hello, welcome to Japan.
- Hello!
You okay? Hows the trip?
Fine. I'm feeling
a bit anxious now.
Hi!
My husband. This is Patrick.
Patrick, you will see later
our house is near the ocean.
21 The oceans in Japan are beautiful.
Yes, but I think the beaches
in the Philippines are better.
Whats that about, Aunt Vicky?
Oh, thats seijinshiki, a
ceremony here in Japan.
It means, theyve reached the age of 20,
their time of transitioning into adults.
They have to be responsible now.
Theyre no longer kids or teenagers.
They can decide for themselves now.
Oh, they have that here.
Let's bring down your bags.
Please help us. Thank you.
- That's heavy.
- Come this way, Patrick.
This is our home.
Yes.
- Welcome to our home.
- Please come in.
We're home.
Patrick, lets take off our shoes.
Okay.
We cant take our shoes
inside the house, okay?
Go ahead.
I have to leave for work now.
Yes, I'll take care of
everything here. Bye.
You can leave the shoes here,
and we have slippers over there.
Alright, Ill take care of it.
Let me help you.
Here, you can use this.
Patrick, wear this.
There.
Come in!
As you can see, we put slippers here.
If youve used it outside,
you cant bring it in,
unlike whats done
sometimes in the Philippines.
Youre going to work now? This is
my daughter, Thea. This is Patrick.
- Hi.
- Hi.
- Do you really need to go now? - Yes.
Shell be working with you,
at the place we told you about.
At the souvenir shop.
- Alright dear, take care.
- Bye.
- I'm leaving.
- Take care.
You can eat whatever food we eat.
Thats included in your board and lodging.
I'm sure you need time to
get used in our food here.
So if you crave Filipino
food, you can cook here.
- Just not dried fish.
- Okay!
The house will smell.
And another house rule.
Alcoholic drinks are not allowed.
You can have a bit, but never get drunk.
And another one: no drugs, alright?
- Drugs are forbidden.
- I dont do drugs.
Thats all. Ill prepare lunch in a bit.
Wheres the comfort room?
On your left. The door on the left side.
This is the second floor.
- This will be your room, Patrick.
- Okay.
Be careful.
Thats Richard. This is
Patrick. Hes also a Filipino.
- Whats up, bro.
- I'm good.
- Alright.
- Ill just rest for a bit.
Get settled first, come
down when you're ready.
Ill cook Japanese food for you.
- Thanks, Aunt.
- Okay. See you later.
Sure.
- Hey, bro.
- Hey.
Hows the Philippines?
Not much has changed,
traffics still the same.
- The traffic.
- Still polluted.
Anyway, can I connect to the WIFI here?
Sure, here it is.

- That one.
- Thank you.
If you need anything, I'm here.
Okay, thanks, man!

Are the people nice to you? So be
good, try to get along with everyone.

- Class dismissed.
- Bye teacher.
- Bye sir.

- Thea.
- Yes.
If, for example, I tried
to look for another job,
do you think Aunt Vicky would get mad?
I dont think so.
But thats up to you. Can you handle it?
Look at your situation. You go
to school then you go to the shop.
Do you think you can do it?
I have to even
though Im studying.
I need to send money back home.
You know I have a family.
I understand.
Okay, I know someone. Would
you like to work at a hotel?

Where are you?

What are you doing now?
Im learning to
speak Japanese.
And this is Thea. Aunt Vickys daughter.
Hi Thea!
Is that allowed babe? Arent
you supposed to be working?
Its fine. Theas the manager here.
Okay. Ill attend to CA now.
- Take care. Bye.
- Okay, bye. I love you.
- Bro, let's eat.
- That looks delicious.
Bro, may I have a spoon?
Forget about using a spoon,
practice eating with chopsticks.
All Japanese use chopsticks.
Is that so? Okay.
Its easy.
What were you saying
earlier? About your mother?
My mother is a friend of Aunt Vicky.
My mother used to help her.
Until she married a Japanese.
She got lucky.
So now, Im the one whos with her.
So where do you work?
At a hotel. I work as a bellboy.
- Bellboy?
- Yes.
- Hows the salary, is it big?
- Its big.
The salary is small, but
the tips make up for it.
I can earn 10 thousand yen in
just a day. Thats the minimum.
How much in Philippine peso?
About five thousand.
As long as you can
sweet-talk the Japanese.
Its big, right?
Thats just for one night.
Bro, maybe you can get me hired
there? I need to have extra income.
Just make sure theres
no issue with Aunt Vicky.
That wont happen.
Okay, Ill take care of you.
- You sure that jobs safe?
- Yes.
Ill take care of you.
Come with me later, you can check it out.
Okay.
Hey, come with me. See where I work.
- Here?
- Yes, upstairs. Come on!
- Just do what I do.
- Okay.
You told me to
copy what you do.
Not my walk.
You should have clarified.
[chattering ]
- Baby!
- Baby!
Babe, this is my friend, Patrick.
This is Bechay, my girlfriend.
Im Bechay.
- Youre Filipino?
- Yes.
- Can you speak Nihongo?
- Not really.
You should learn it so
you can get customers.
Alright, well just go over
there. You just observe what I do.
[customers chatting]
Thank you.
Cheers.
- Is he new?
- That handsome guy?
Our regular customer
wants you please join us.
No...
Come, join us.
I dont drink, sorry,
Thank you.
He's cute.
Bottoms up!
Are you going to snitch
on me to Aunt Vicky?
- I wont.
- Really?
Dont worry.
Working as a bellboy sounds
better than being a callboy, so its fine.
Moron, Im not a callboy.
You can find callboys on the street,
while hostos are respected here.
Its alright. You might
be the one to tell on me.
Why would I do that?
Lets go.
- You okay?
- Yes.
Well go there, its my favorite,
the Yomohei ramen shop.
Their menu looks delicious.
Havent you had enough of ramen,
weve eaten here a hundred times.
Babe, lets not
argue, lets get in.
Come.
You know how to use the
chopsticks already, right?
Babe, order again.
Lets finish this first!
This isnt enough,
its embarrassing.
- Please.
- Weve been with him for hours.
The only thing I know
about him is hes Patrick.
Patrick is a new lodger where I live.
- You know where I live, right?
- Yes.
- Whats your plan here in Japan?
- Me?
I'm studying here. But I need extra
income so I tagged along with Richard.
What about you?
I also work at a bar, like Richard.
But right now. Im his
customer slash girlfriend.
What type of visa do you have?
Entertainer visa.
Its only good for three months
so I just go back and forth.
I pay my employer so hell
sponsor me for the visa.
Isnt that expensive?
Its okay. Thats why I work
at a bar where I earn a lot,
but this guy just spends it all.
Hey, thats not true. Dont believe her.
Just joking.
- Come on, order more food.
- You do it.
Try this. It's yummy.
Your order is here.
Thank you babe. This is also good.
Here, try it.
Sure, thank you.
Hows your stay here in Japan?
Im having a hard time because I dont
understand Japanese that much yet...
But its fun here when you get used to it.
- Youll start to feel at home here.
- Yes.
Of course youll miss your family in
the Philippines, but youll enjoy it here.
426 At least, here, were together, my
babys always with me, supporting me.
You're such a sweet talker!
Order again!
- You want to order again?
- Sake.
Let's get some sake.
- You okay?
- Of course.
I love you.
I love you.
You smell so good.
You're such a charmer.
Babe, can you give me 30 thousand yen?
I knew youd ask. Wait.
Thats why I love you so much.
- What is he doing?
- What is he doing?
He is eating his meal.
He is eating his meal.
- Hello, mom, whats up?
- Hello, son.
Son, how are you?
Im sorry, I had to call.
Your father hasnt
taken medicine for two days.
What?
His BP and sugar level increased.
Then the electric
disconnection just arrived too.
Im shy to ask Daniel for help.
The money he gave has just run out.
Okay, Ill try to come
up with some money.
Im at school right now.
Im sorry to bother you son.
Alright, you take care.
If you want to work, I can hire you.
But you know that those with student
visa are not allowed work at night.
So here's my deal: you will
get 60 percent of your salary,
then the 40 percent is
my cut, for my protection.
No problem. I just really
need to earn more money.
Sorry, excuse me.
Welcome.
Sorry.
Thank you.
If you turn this volume,
the sound will be louder.
This is your pay for this week.
I already took my cut.
Thank you.
You can work longer hours next
week so you can earn more, okay?
Okay.
- Hello Patrick!
- Hello.
Please help me. I got into trouble.
What kind of trouble?
I got into a fight and
they found drugs on me.
What the hell! What
mess you got yourself into?
Yeah, I didnt mean for this
to happen. Please help me.
The police are
asking for 50 thousand.
50 thousand?
Where will I get that much money?
So what can I do, Patrick, I
don't have anyone else to turn to.
Why wont you stop getting
involved in that kind of thing!
This is the last time bro. I
promise not to do it again.
What am I supposed to do?
I hope you can help me, the police
will put me behind bars if I don't pay up.
Okay, I will try but I can't
promise. I'll see what I can do.
Ill call you later. Alright, goodbye.
- Bro, how are you?
- Bro, Im sorry.
Whats the matter?
Ive no one to ask help from.
Okay, I'll get money tonight.
Bottoms up!
Cheers!
Well, do your thing. Be slick.
Of course.
- Thanks, bro.
- I'll go ahead.
- Baby!
- Excuse me.
Baby!
Thank you.
Our guest is here.
- Good evening.
- Hi.
Is he available now?
Your order, your usual drinks?
Yes and him.
Got it.
Please get her drinks and Patrick.
- Madame is calling you.
- Okay.
- Hi.
- Hi.
Hi! I am Patrick.
It's nice to meet you.
- Can you speak Japanese?
- Just a little.
- Oh a little.
- Yes.
- Cheers!
- Bro.
You can do it.
Where are we going? Let's have ramen.
Sure.
You're so cute.
I will come here every night to see you.
[chattering]
Thank you.
Thank you.
Heres your money.
Excuse me! Sorry!
Thea Im a mess right now.
Its so hard to survive in
another country just to earn.
All the hard work, the sweat
and bloods never enough
Ive even sold my soul just to earn more.
I wish I could forgive myself
for everything Ive done.
Ive done many things
here thats against my will.
I dont know how far and for how
long I must carry this weight inside me.
But there are things I
must do for my family.
It just hurts that I have
to forget myself to do it.
I hope I can forgive myself
for what Ive been doing.
I dont know how I can go back from this.
Patrick, look at me.
I believe that you can do it.
You will get through this.
Whatever problem comes into
your life, I know you can survive it.
I thought I saw you again
in the midst of strangers
You can do this, okay?
I thought I saw you again
in the midst of strangers
So I closed my eyes and thought of you
All I remember is the
moment that I was with you
I cant see you walking
besides me anymore
- I'll go ahead.
- Patric, wait!
Daniel and I talked yesterday.
Since you're earning extra income,
you'll be paying the full rent now.
- Okay?
- Understood.
I'll pay for the rent by
the end of the month.
Okay.
I remember every piece of you
Atmosphere of that day
Same like the day we were together
If we can continue how we were,
I will devote my heart to
you forever and ever
I believe forever
I believe
Patrick, I was thinking
its just a suggestion
so you can fix your life here in
Japan and make things easier.
We can get married.
- Are you sure?
- Its not what you think.
Since I am a Japanese citizen here,
we can have an arrangement...
a marriage of convenience.
Then after one year,
we can file for divorce.
That way, your life here
will be so much easier.
You can work here legally.
And earn more for your family.
But I cant afford to pay you.
You dont need to pay me.
I just want to help you, and
were friends anyway, right?
Hello, Daniel! I have
to tell you something.
Thea is suggesting we get married.
I dont know how Im
supposed to face Aunt Vicky.
She might get angry at me,
and think that I'm abusing
her daughter's kindness.
Your call.
Think it over.
Thats a great offer, and your
child can definitely benefit from that.
So what do you think?
Should I accept her proposal?
Well, youll need to have a
serious talk with your wife about that.
Explain to her the nature of
your arrangement with Thea.
Okay. Goodbye.
- Hello?
- Hello Jenny!
Babe! I'm glad you called.
I have good news for you.
Whats that babe?
You remember Aunt Vickys daughter?
Thea?
Yeah, I remember.
She's willing to help me.
We will get married, but
thats just on paper, dont worry.
Jenny, our dream is to live
here in Japan with our son.
After one year, well get divorced.
Babe, stop that.
Our agreement is that
youll just study there, right?
What marriage are you talking
about? Stop this nonsense.
What are you thinking?
She has good intentions.
I can work here legally.
Stop it, Patrick,
dont force this on me.
Jenny-- Hello?
Jenny, listen to me. Dont get angry,
and dont get jealous.
I wont have it. Dont
make a fool out of me.
We are not having an affair.
Whatever, I dont
want to talk anymore.
Jenny
Sorry about that.
Richard!
Bechay?
- You piece of shit!
- Bechay...
- Stop it, Bechay!
- Dont touch me!
You two-timing son of a bitch!
Please stop!
Let go of me!
You wont get a cent from me again.
Bechay!
Hello, Jenny
Please talk to me, dont hang up.
I understand how you feel,
but try to understand me too.
Hello.
Hello Daniel.
Please help me out.
Maybe you can talk to Jenny.
What happened, Patrick?
Ive been calling her
but she won't pick up.
Make her understand that
Im not doing this for myself.
This is for our son.
I told you, talk to her first,
now if you cant make her accept
it by pleading, or by explanations...
alright, Ill talk to her for you.
I just want to save money for my son.
I miss them so bad.
I know youre the only one
who can understand my situation.
So I hope you can reach Jenny.
Dont worry, I will do what I promised.
No matter how you look at it,
Daniel, thats hard to accept.
I cannot share my husband.
Hes not some object
that I can lend somebody.
Thats up to you. Just think about it.
Like I said, its just a way
to make your life better,
secure the future of your child.
What, Daniel youll give him up now?
After ten years together
Well I guess, at least
you were happy with him.
Besides, you cant claim him either,
because he wants somebody else.
Correct! That cant happen.
Maybe all he feels for you is gratitude.
Actually, deep down I know that.
Its just that,
sometimes I cant avoid feeling
hurt about whats happening.
Thats normal, we're gay.
We love, we feel happy
but we also get hurt at times.
Thats the story of our lives, right?
Were always the ones who
must give way and sacrifice
were always the ones
who must keep giving.
Sometimes,
I dont know if I should just give up.
646 But...
of course,
I love him.
Of course I love those he loves.
I respect his decisions.
Always.
But this time, I dont
know how to accept it.
Its just like what you
said. Thats our destiny.
Let's just accept it.
Im sorry.
Im getting all mushy.
Cheers to us.
Lets go up.
Thea, Ill need to return
to the Philippines first.
Jennys been thinking all
sorts of bad things about me.
She thinks Ive been fooling around here.
She doesnt understand
that Im doing this for the child.
I will come back right away, I
just need to talk to her personally.
Are you sure about that?
I am sure. This will be for my child.
She doesnt talk to me anymore.
Do you know what youre getting into?
Hes got a wife in the Philippines.
You know that, dont you?
Mommy, I just want to
help. Whats wrong with that?
Be careful in choosing
who you should help.
Only a few deserve our help.
And you think he doesnt deserve my help?
Im just thinking of your future.
You're going to be his mistress?
Mommy, someone also helped you
before. That's why we're here now.
This is different.
Ive seen and experienced it all
so I dont want you to
continue with your plan.
Please stop here.
Here's my payment.
- Hey Patrick, how are you?
- How are you?
Thanks for all your help.
Thats nothing, just make
sure you make a fresh start,
youre the oldest but youre
still a burden to Mom and Dad.
686 Dont tell them about what happened.
Dad's sick, he might
worsen if he hears of it.
Sure, no problem.
- You go ahead.
- Okay, Patrick.
Hey! Its Patrick!
Its Patrick!
Whyd you come home so soon?
- How are you?
- Come in!
Dad this is for you. There's Yen inside.
- And of course, for uncle - Wow!
Thats what you asked for.
For you Mom, its lotion.
CA! Papas home!
CA.
You like this right?
- And babe, this is for you.
- Thank you.
CA, play with your toy outside. Okay?
Lets play later, okay?
If thats what you came
home for, I still will not allow it.
Why is it hard for you to
accept my explanation?
I will never be able to accept that.
I will never understand that, Patrick.
Its enough that I accepted
your relationship with Daniel.
But this,
I can never accept this.
Now you must choose: push through
with that or keep me and your son.
Dont make me choose.
If thats your choice,
let us just end this.
I don't want to break up with you.
Im just doing this for our kid.
Because CA needs us. He has special needs.
He needs us for the rest of his life.
Thank you, Daniel.
All for family.
My wife did not give her permission, Thea.
I knew from the start, that
she wouldnt change her mind.
I was hoping she would see it my way.
I love my son, Thea.
So Ill do anything for him.
Even if his mother doesnt approve.
I want him to have a chance, someday
to live like other kids.
I understand you, Patrick.
What about you, Thea
are you expecting anything in exchange?
I wont lie to you.
Patrick, I dont want to ruin a family.
I do this because you are kind.
You have a good heart
you will do anything for your family.
Thats why I like you.
And you arent hard to love.
And remember this, Patrick,
I can be an instrument for
whatever you need to do.
I am here for you.
For as long as you need
me and as long as I can.
Thank you, Thea.
[chattering]
Some people come into
our lives at the wrong time.
Like Thea,
who sacrificed until the end.
Like Jenny,
who sacrificed when I had
a relationship with Daniel.
My son who is innocent of what
is happening in world around him.
And Daniel, who
sacrificed his true feelings,
even as I continued to hurt him.
They say that love is a wonderful feeling.
But until when can I
endure the pain inside of me
because of the decisions I
made for the people I love most?
I am Patrick, twenty-six years old.
My life story is not that different
from other young men.
The Lord changed
my life when CA was born.
He is not like other kids.
Since that day, I swore that
whatever happens, Id raise my son well.
As long as I am alive.
7 I was impulsive in my youth.
8 I thought what I felt was true love.
9 But I was wrong.
I just got carried away by earthly desires.
Then someone came into my tumultuous life.
He slowly guided me towards the right path.
Our relationship may seem wrong to
society and is considered as a sin by God.
But for me, one of the most beautiful
things that happened in my life,
was the day I met Daniel.
- Daniel.
- Yes?
Thank you for everything.
- So dramatic.
- No, I mean it.
Thank you. If it hadnt been for your
help, I wouldnt be able to go to Japan.
Id do anything for you. You
know I love you very much.
Dont measure my love by
the money I spend on you.
No, its not the money.
Everything you've done for me,
how youve been helping
me, I really owe you a lot.
You dont have to pay
your debt of gratitude.
Whats important is that youre here.
Enough of that.
Its Vicky.
- Hello?
- Hello, Daniel! How are you?
Are Patricks documents ready?
Yes, they're all complete.
Everything you need.
His visa, school papers,
letter of acceptance, even
his highschool diploma.
- I have them all here. - That's good.
I also e-mailed you his flight details.
Ill check. Ill take care of your darling.
- His class is from 9 to 12.
- Hell be done with school by lunch time,
after school, hell go
straight to your souvenir shop.
Sure.
That's just 1 to 5 right? Dont
worry, this kid works hard.
Really?
Hell be able to fulfill his
dream to study in Japan,
- so he can work there.
- Thats all because of you.
Thank you my friend. See you soon.
- Dont worry, Ill take care of him.
- Okay
- See you soon. - See you! Bye!
Whats that?
For your expenses.
Youll need this, take it.
Thank you, Daniel, you're really kind.
Thank you.
[chattering]
- Hi Patrick!
- Hey, Patricks here!
- Son.
- Patrick.
- I'm glad you're here.
- I just got my documents from Daniel.
- Your papers are all good?
- Yes, I have them here.
- Are you sure they're complete?
- Yes, Dad.
- Have you eaten?
- Im good, Mom.
- We still have sardines.
- I just dropped by to give you this.
To help with the expenses here.
Thank you, weve actually
ran out of money, son.
- What food would you like?
- Im fine.
I really just wanted to hand you that.
- Thank you.
- Okay, I still need to pack my things.
- You will be leaving now?
- Yes, Dad.
- You take care, okay?
- I will.
- I forgot.
- Yes?
Daniel will have a farewell
lunch for me tomorrow.
- Well eat at a restaurant.
- Really?
Wear something nice.
- If you say so!
- Dad, please take a bath.
Of course, well be eating out!
- Thank you.
- Okay, Mom. See you tomorrow.
- Bye.
- You take care.
Patricks a really good person.
Lets eat.
You eat a lot, okay?
- Where have you been?
- I went to Moms house.
- How are they doing? - Theyre okay.
- Delicious!
- Very good.
How's Daniel?
He already took care of all
my requirements for Japan.
Thats great. You eat now.
Later, Ill just take a shower.
- Lets just eat when CAs done, alright?
- Okay.
You dont want any more?
[chattering]
Son, always remember, value your
education and study well when youre there.
And of course, do not forget
how Daniel has helped
all of us, especially you.
- Yes, Dad.
- Never forget that.
- Son, be careful there.
- You too, take care of yourselves, okay?
Of course.
Patrick, don't forget your gifts for me.
Even used items as long as
they're branded.
Remember: second hand but branded!
- Me, I just want cup noodles.
- What kind?
Noodles are cheap there.
"Nissan" seafood noodles.
What do you mean? Nissans a car!
Oh, I meant Nissin. Nissin ramen.
How long is your flight?
I think four hours.
Three and a half hours.
Where in Japan will you go?
I think its Fukuoka, or...
Is it Kita.. Kitakyushu?
Son, its also my dream to go to Japan.
Is it cold there?
They say its cold there now.
- Does it snow there?
- Im not sure.
I think CA can sense that he wont be
seeing me for a long time. Hes quiet.
Good thing our grandsons
with us in this trip.
- He still doesnt know.
- Hes a good boy.
Son, take care.
Thanks. Aunt, take care of things here.
Make sure you dont forget!
Bring home gifts for us.
Take care now, okay?
All baggage must be
stowed in the nearest storage.
Do not place baggage in
the aisle, or around the exit.
Patrick!
- Hello, welcome to Japan.
- Hello!
You okay? Hows the trip?
Fine. I'm feeling
a bit anxious now.
Hi!
My husband. This is Patrick.
Patrick, you will see later
our house is near the ocean.
21 The oceans in Japan are beautiful.
Yes, but I think the beaches
in the Philippines are better.
Whats that about, Aunt Vicky?
Oh, thats seijinshiki, a
ceremony here in Japan.
It means, theyve reached the age of 20,
their time of transitioning into adults.
They have to be responsible now.
Theyre no longer kids or teenagers.
They can decide for themselves now.
Oh, they have that here.
Let's bring down your bags.
Please help us. Thank you.
- That's heavy.
- Come this way, Patrick.
This is our home.
Yes.
- Welcome to our home.
- Please come in.
We're home.
Patrick, lets take off our shoes.
Okay.
We cant take our shoes
inside the house, okay?
Go ahead.
I have to leave for work now.
Yes, I'll take care of
everything here. Bye.
You can leave the shoes here,
and we have slippers over there.
Alright, Ill take care of it.
Let me help you.
Here, you can use this.
Patrick, wear this.
There.
Come in!
As you can see, we put slippers here.
If youve used it outside,
you cant bring it in,
unlike whats done
sometimes in the Philippines.
Youre going to work now? This is
my daughter, Thea. This is Patrick.
- Hi.
- Hi.
- Do you really need to go now? - Yes.
Shell be working with you,
at the place we told you about.
At the souvenir shop.
- Alright dear, take care.
- Bye.
- I'm leaving.
- Take care.
You can eat whatever food we eat.
Thats included in your board and lodging.
I'm sure you need time to
get used in our food here.
So if you crave Filipino
food, you can cook here.
- Just not dried fish.
- Okay!
The house will smell.
And another house rule.
Alcoholic drinks are not allowed.
You can have a bit, but never get drunk.
And another one: no drugs, alright?
- Drugs are forbidden.
- I dont do drugs.
Thats all. Ill prepare lunch in a bit.
Wheres the comfort room?
On your left. The door on the left side.
This is the second floor.
- This will be your room, Patrick.
- Okay.
Be careful.
Thats Richard. This is
Patrick. Hes also a Filipino.
- Whats up, bro.
- I'm good.
- Alright.
- Ill just rest for a bit.
Get settled first, come
down when you're ready.
Ill cook Japanese food for you.
- Thanks, Aunt.
- Okay. See you later.
Sure.
- Hey, bro.
- Hey.
Hows the Philippines?
Not much has changed,
traffics still the same.

If you need anything, I'm here.
Okay, thanks, man!

Well, you take

youll get used to it for sure.
Thanks.
- Class dismissed.
- Bye teacher.
- Bye sir.
- Bye.
- Suresh, can we talk?
- Okay.
Are we allowed to work here in Japan?
Its okay but only for 28 hours in a week.
Students are not allowed

I see. Thank you.
- Thea.
- Yes.
If, for example, I tried
to look for another job,
do you think Aunt Vicky would get mad?
I dont think so.
But thats up to you. Can you handle it?
Look at your situation. You go
to school then you go to the shop.
Do you think you can do it?
I have to even
though Im studying.
I need to send money back home.
You know I have a family.
I understand.
Okay, I know someone. Would
you like to work at a hotel?

Im learning to

And this is Thea. Aunt Vickys daughter.
Hi Thea!
Is that allowed babe? Arent
you supposed to be working?
Its fine. Theas the manager here.
Okay. Ill attend to CA now.
- Take care. Bye.
- Okay, bye. I love you.
- Bro, let's eat.
- That looks delicious.
Bro, may I have a spoon?
Forget about using a spoon,
practice eating with chopsticks.
All Japanese use chopsticks.
Is that so? Okay.
Its easy.
What were you saying
earlier? About your mother?
My mother is a friend of Aunt Vicky.
My mother used to help her.
Until she married a Japanese.
She got lucky.
So now, Im the one whos with her.
So where do you work?
At a hotel. I work as a bellboy.
- Bellboy?
- Yes.
- Hows the salary, is it big?
- Its big.
The salary is small, but
the tips make up for it.
I can earn 10 thousand yen in
just a day. Thats the minimum.
How much in Philippine peso?
About five thousand.
As long as you can
sweet-talk the Japanese.
Its big, right?
Thats just for one night.
Bro, maybe you can get me hired
there? I need to have extra income.
Just make sure theres
no issue with Aunt Vicky.
That wont happen.
Okay, Ill take care of you.
- You sure that jobs safe?
- Yes.
Ill take care of you.
Come with me later, you can check it out.
Okay.
Hey, come with me. See where I work.
- Here?
- Yes, upstairs. Come on!
- Just do what I do.
- Okay.
You told me to
copy what you do.
Not my walk.
You should have clarified.
[chattering ]
- Baby!
- Baby!
Babe, this is my friend, Patrick.
This is Bechay, my girlfriend.
Im Bechay.
- Youre Filipino?
- Yes.
- Can you speak Nihongo?
- Not really.
You should learn it so
you can get customers.
Alright, well just go over
there. You just observe what I do.
[customers chatting]
Thank you.
Cheers.
- Is he new?
- That handsome guy?
Our regular customer
wants you please join us.
No...
Come, join us.
I dont drink, sorry,
Thank you.
He's cute.
Bottoms up!
Are you going to snitch
on me to Aunt Vicky?
- I wont.
- Really?
Dont worry.
Working as a bellboy sounds
better than being a callboy, so its fine.
Moron, Im not a callboy.
You can find callboys on the street,
while hostos are respected here.
Its alright. You might
be the one to tell on me.
Why would I do that?
Lets go.
- You okay?
- Yes.
Well go there, its my favorite,
the Yomohei ramen shop.
Their menu looks delicious.
Havent you had enough of ramen,
weve eaten here a hundred times.
Babe, lets not
argue, lets get in.
Come.
You know how to use the
chopsticks already, right?
Babe, order again.
Lets finish this first!
This isnt enough,
its embarrassing.
- Please.
- Weve been with him for hours.
The only thing I know
about him is hes Patrick.
Patrick is a new lodger where I live.
- You know where I live, right?
- Yes.
- Whats your plan here in Japan?
- Me?
I'm studying here. But I need extra
income so I tagged along with Richard.
What about you?
I also work at a bar, like Richard.
But right now. Im his
customer slash girlfriend.
What type of visa do you have?
Entertainer visa.
Its only good for three months
so I just go back and forth.
I pay my employer so hell
sponsor me for the visa.
Isnt that expensive?
Its okay. Thats why I work
at a bar where I earn a lot,
but this guy just spends it all.
Hey, thats not true. Dont believe her.
Just joking.
- Come on, order more food.
- You do it.
Try this. It's yummy.
Your order is here.
Thank you babe. This is also good.
Here, try it.
Sure, thank you.
Hows your stay here in Japan?
Im having a hard time because I dont
understand Japanese that much yet...
But its fun here when you get used to it.
- Youll start to feel at home here.
- Yes.
Of course youll miss your family in
the Philippines, but youll enjoy it here.
426 At least, here, were together, my
babys always with me, supporting me.
You're such a sweet talker!
Order again!
- You want to order again?
- Sake.
Let's get some sake.
- You okay?
- Of course.
I love you.
I love you.
You smell so good.
You're such a charmer.
Babe, can you give me 30 thousand yen?
I knew youd ask. Wait.
Thats why I love you so much.
- What is he doing?
- What is he doing?
He is eating his meal.
He is eating his meal.
- Hello, mom, whats up?
- Hello, son.
Son, how are you?
Im sorry, I had to call.
Your father hasnt
taken medicine for two days.
What?
His BP and sugar level increased.
Then the electric
disconnection just arrived too.
Im shy to ask Daniel for help.
The money he gave has just run out.
Okay, Ill try to come
up with some money.
Im at school right now.
Im sorry to bother you son.
Alright, you take care.
If you want to work, I can hire you.
But you know that those with student
visa are not allowed work at night.
So here's my deal: you will
get 60 percent of your salary,
then the 40 percent is
my cut, for my protection.
No problem. I just really
need to earn more money.
Sorry, excuse me.
Welcome.
Sorry.
Thank you.
If you turn this volume,
the sound will be louder.
This is your pay for this week.
I already took my cut.
Thank you.
You can work longer hours next
week so you can earn more, okay?
Okay.
- Hello Patrick!
- Hello.
Please help me. I got into trouble.
What kind of trouble?
I got into a fight and
they found drugs on me.
What the hell! What
mess you got yourself into?
Yeah, I didnt mean for this
to happen. Please help me.
The police are
asking for 50 thousand.
50 thousand?
Where will I get that much money?
So what can I do, Patrick, I
don't have anyone else to turn to.
Why wont you stop getting
involved in that kind of thing!
This is the last time bro. I
promise not to do it again.
What am I supposed to do?
I hope you can help me, the police
will put me behind bars if I don't pay up.
Okay, I will try but I can't
promise. I'll see what I can do.
Ill call you later. Alright, goodbye.
- Bro, how are you?
- Bro, Im sorry.
Whats the matter?
Ive no one to ask help from.
Okay, I'll get money tonight.
Bottoms up!
Cheers!
Well, do your thing. Be slick.
Of course.
- Thanks, bro.
- I'll go ahead.
- Baby!
- Excuse me.
Baby!
Thank you.
Our guest is here.
- Good evening.
- Hi.
Is he available now?
Your order, your usual drinks?
Yes and him.
Got it.
Please get her drinks and Patrick.
- Madame is calling you.
- Okay.
- Hi.
- Hi.
Hi! I am Patrick.
It's nice to meet you.
- Can you speak Japanese?
- Just a little.
- Oh a little.
- Yes.
- Cheers!
- Bro.
You can do it.
Where are we going? Let's have ramen.
Sure.
You're so cute.
I will come here every night to see you.
[chattering]
Thank you.
Thank you.
Heres your money.
Excuse me! Sorry!
Thea Im a mess right now.
Its so hard to survive in
another country just to earn.
All the hard work, the sweat
and bloods never enough
Ive even sold my soul just to earn more.
I wish I could forgive myself
for everything Ive done.
Ive done many things
here thats against my will.
I dont know how far and for how
long I must carry this weight inside me.
But there are things I
must do for my family.
It just hurts that I have
to forget myself to do it.
I hope I can forgive myself
for what Ive been doing.
I dont know how I can go back from this.
Patrick, look at me.
I believe that you can do it.
You will get through this.
Whatever problem comes into
your life, I know you can survive it.
I thought I saw you again
in the midst of strangers
You can do this, okay?
I thought I saw you again
in the midst of strangers
So I closed my eyes and thought of you
All I remember is the
moment that I was with you
I cant see you walking
besides me anymore
- I'll go ahead.
- Patric, wait!
Daniel and I talked yesterday.
Since you're earning extra income,
you'll be paying the full rent now.
- Okay?
- Understood.
I'll pay for the rent by
the end of the month.
Okay.
I remember every piece of you
Atmosphere of that day
Same like the day we were together
If we can continue how we were,
I will devote my heart to
you forever and ever
I believe forever
I believe
Patrick, I was thinking
its just a suggestion
so you can fix your life here in
Japan and make things easier.
We can get married.
- Are you sure?
- Its not what you think.
Since I am a Japanese citizen here,
we can have an arrangement...
a marriage of convenience.
Then after one year,
we can file for divorce.
That way, your life here
will be so much easier.
You can work here legally.
And earn more for your family.
But I cant afford to pay you.
You dont need to pay me.
I just want to help you, and
were friends anyway, right?
Hello, Daniel! I have
to tell you something.
Thea is suggesting we get married.
I dont know how Im
supposed to face Aunt Vicky.
She might get angry at me,
and think that I'm abusing
her daughter's kindness.
Your call.
Think it over.
Thats a great offer, and your
child can definitely benefit from that.
So what do you think?
Should I accept her proposal?
Well, youll need to have a
serious talk with your wife about that.
Explain to her the nature of
your arrangement with Thea.
Okay. Goodbye.
- Hello?
- Hello Jenny!
Babe! I'm glad you called.
I have good news for you.
Whats that babe?
You remember Aunt Vickys daughter?
Thea?
Yeah, I remember.
She's willing to help me.
We will get married, but
thats just on paper, dont worry.
Jenny, our dream is to live
here in Japan with our son.
After one year, well get divorced.
Babe, stop that.
Our agreement is that
youll just study there, right?
What marriage are you talking
about? Stop this nonsense.
What are you thinking?
She has good intentions.
I can work here legally.
Stop it, Patrick,
dont force this on me.
Jenny-- Hello?
Jenny, listen to me. Dont get angry,
and dont get jealous.
I wont have it. Dont
make a fool out of me.
We are not having an affair.
Whatever, I dont
want to talk anymore.
Jenny
Sorry about that.
Richard!
Bechay?
- You piece of shit!
- Bechay...
- Stop it, Bechay!
- Dont touch me!
You two-timing son of a bitch!
Please stop!
Let go of me!
You wont get a cent from me again.
Bechay!
Hello, Jenny
Please talk to me, dont hang up.
I understand how you feel,
but try to understand me too.
Hello.
Hello Daniel.
Please help me out.
Maybe you can talk to Jenny.
What happened, Patrick?
Ive been calling her
but she won't pick up.
Make her understand that
Im not doing this for myself.
This is for our son.
I told you, talk to her first,
now if you cant make her accept
it by pleading, or by explanations...
alright, Ill talk to her for you.
I just want to save money for my son.
I miss them so bad.
I know youre the only one
who can understand my situation.
So I hope you can reach Jenny.
Dont worry, I will do what I promised.
No matter how you look at it,
Daniel, thats hard to accept.
I cannot share my husband.
Hes not some object
that I can lend somebody.
Thats up to you. Just think about it.
Like I said, its just a way
to make your life better,
secure the future of your child.
What, Daniel youll give him up now?
After ten years together
Well I guess, at least
you were happy with him.
Besides, you cant claim him either,
because he wants somebody else.
Correct! That cant happen.
Maybe all he feels for you is gratitude.
Actually, deep down I know that.
Its just that,
sometimes I cant avoid feeling
hurt about whats happening.
Thats normal, we're gay.
We love, we feel happy
but we also get hurt at times.
Thats the story of our lives, right?
Were always the ones who
must give way and sacrifice
were always the ones
who must keep giving.
Sometimes,
I dont know if I should just give up.
646 But...
of course,
I love him.
Of course I love those he loves.
I respect his decisions.
Always.
But this time, I dont
know how to accept it.
Its just like what you
said. Thats our destiny.
Let's just accept it.
Im sorry.
Im getting all mushy.
Cheers to us.
Lets go up.
Thea, Ill need to return
to the Philippines first.
Jennys been thinking all
sorts of bad things about me.
She thinks Ive been fooling around here.
She doesnt understand
that Im doing this for the child.
I will come back right away, I
just need to talk to her personally.
Are you sure about that?
I am sure. This will be for my child.
She doesnt talk to me anymore.
Do you know what youre getting into?
Hes got a wife in the Philippines.
You know that, dont you?
Mommy, I just want to
help. Whats wrong with that?
Be careful in choosing
who you should help.
Only a few deserve our help.
And you think he doesnt deserve my help?
Im just thinking of your future.
You're going to be his mistress?
Mommy, someone also helped you
before. That's why we're here now.
This is different.
Ive seen and experienced it all
so I dont want you to
continue with your plan.
Please stop here.
Here's my payment.
- Hey Patrick, how are you?
- How are you?
Thanks for all your help.
Thats nothing, just make
sure you make a fresh start,
youre the oldest but youre
still a burden to Mom and Dad.
686 Dont tell them about what happened.
Dad's sick, he might
worsen if he hears of it.
Sure, no problem.
- You go ahead.
- Okay, Patrick.
Hey! Its Patrick!
Its Patrick!
Whyd you come home so soon?
- How are you?
- Come in!
Dad this is for you. There's Yen inside.
- And of course, for uncle - Wow!
Thats what you asked for.
For you Mom, its lotion.
CA! Papas home!
CA.
You like this right?
- And babe, this is for you.
- Thank you.
CA, play with your toy outside. Okay?
Lets play later, okay?
If thats what you came
home for, I still will not allow it.
Why is it hard for you to
accept my explanation?
I will never be able to accept that.
I will never understand that, Patrick.
Its enough that I accepted
your relationship with Daniel.
But this,
I can never accept this.
Now you must choose: push through
with that or keep me and your son.
Dont make me choose.
If thats your choice,
let us just end this.
I don't want to break up with you.
Im just doing this for our kid.
Because CA needs us. He has special needs.
He needs us for the rest of his life.
Thank you, Daniel.
All for family.
My wife did not give her permission, Thea.
I knew from the start, that
she wouldnt change her mind.
I was hoping she would see it my way.
I love my son, Thea.
So Ill do anything for him.
Even if his mother doesnt approve.
I want him to have a chance, someday
to live like other kids.
I understand you, Patrick.
What about you, Thea
are you expecting anything in exchange?
I wont lie to you.
Patrick, I dont want to ruin a family.
I do this because you are kind.
You have a good heart
you will do anything for your family.
Thats why I like you.
And you arent hard to love.
And remember this, Patrick,
I can be an instrument for
whatever you need to do.
I am here for you.
For as long as you need
me and as long as I can.
Thank you, Thea.
[chattering]
Some people come into
our lives at the wrong time.
Like Thea,
who sacrificed until the end.
Like Jenny,
who sacrificed when I had
a relationship with Daniel.
My son who is innocent of what
is happening in world around him.
And Daniel, who
sacrificed his true feelings,
even as I continued to hurt him.
They say that love is a wonderful feeling.
But until when can I
endure the pain inside of me
because of the decisions I
made for the people I love most?
