00:00:00.625 --> 00:00:05.630
(gentle music)
(wind shushing)

00:00:11.469 --> 00:00:16.474
(door slams)
(footsteps tapping)

00:00:19.519 --> 00:00:23.398
(train bell clanging)

00:00:23.398 --> 00:00:26.067
(phone ringing)

00:00:34.659 --> 00:00:39.664
(gentle music continues)
(phone continues ringing)

00:00:42.876 --> 00:00:43.710
- [Robert] Hello?

00:00:43.710 --> 00:00:45.920
- Hello?
- Hello.

00:00:45.920 --> 00:00:46.755
- [Robert] What's up?

00:00:48.006 --> 00:00:49.340
- [Victoria] How are you?

00:00:49.340 --> 00:00:51.342
- [Minerva] I'm good, I'm cold.

00:00:51.342 --> 00:00:53.470
- [Victoria] Oh god, are you okay?

00:00:53.470 --> 00:00:55.305
- [Minerva] Yeah, I'm just walking home.

00:00:56.139 --> 00:00:58.016
Is it okay if I keep you on the line?

00:00:59.142 --> 00:01:00.268
- [Victoria] No, oh my gosh, yes,

00:01:00.268 --> 00:01:01.978
please stay on call with
me until you get home.

00:01:01.978 --> 00:01:05.148
I do not want you to
be in danger. (laughs)

00:01:05.148 --> 00:01:07.776
[Maritess] Do you want to speak
to your Tatay? He’s here.

00:01:07.776 --> 00:01:08.651
- [Minerva] Yeah?

00:01:08.651 --> 00:01:10.111
- [Maritess] You wearing pants?

00:01:10.111 --> 00:01:11.488
- Yeah.
- That's it?

00:01:11.488 --> 00:01:12.322
- (laughs) Just pants.
- Just pants?

00:01:12.322 --> 00:01:13.782
- [Minerva] Just pants and a jacket.

00:01:13.782 --> 00:01:15.200
(Minerva laughs)
- [VIctoria] You're out and about

00:01:15.200 --> 00:01:16.701
at night, freezing in the cold, girl.

00:01:16.701 --> 00:01:20.038
I hope you are freaking
snuggled up in warm clothes.

00:01:20.038 --> 00:01:21.456
You better not get sick.

00:01:21.456 --> 00:01:23.166
- [Minerva] I was literally,
like earlier today,

00:01:23.166 --> 00:01:24.876
I'm like, "Should I wear a skirt?"

00:01:34.511 --> 00:01:37.514
- [Victoria] Did you wear a skirt?

00:01:37.514 --> 00:01:39.307
(traffic droning)

00:01:39.307 --> 00:01:41.226
- [Thomas] So, how you doing?

00:01:41.226 --> 00:01:42.477
- [Minerva] I'm wondering
if I should, like,

00:01:42.477 --> 00:01:46.064
take a shortcut just because,
like, my feet fucking hurt.

00:01:46.064 --> 00:01:47.065
(heart beating)
- [Robert] Do you think

00:01:47.065 --> 00:01:47.899
you can see anybody?

00:01:47.899 --> 00:01:51.194
I'd run through the underpass
if you were gonna take it.

00:01:52.987 --> 00:01:54.489
(traffic droning)
[Juliana] No, don't do that.

00:01:54.489 --> 00:01:58.368
Takes one sus dude to get you in the news.

00:01:58.368 --> 00:02:00.370
CP24: "Local Woman..."

00:02:02.497 --> 00:02:04.707
(heart beating faster)

00:02:04.707 --> 00:02:06.501
- [Robert] Do you know how to run?

00:02:07.836 --> 00:02:10.630
You gotta know how to run and run fast.

00:02:10.630 --> 00:02:12.841
(Minerva panting)
(overpass banging)

00:02:12.841 --> 00:02:14.509
(footsteps echoing)
If you feel, you know,

00:02:14.509 --> 00:02:16.511
a tingle at the back of your neck,

00:02:16.511 --> 00:02:18.429
you get on your heels and get crackin'.

00:02:20.598 --> 00:02:22.058
- [Juliana] Cause the one time

00:02:22.058 --> 00:02:23.184
you don't look, or like, flinch,

00:02:23.184 --> 00:02:24.394
it's gonna be something.

00:02:26.855 --> 00:02:28.273
(heart beating slower)
- [Robert] Over the last few years,

00:02:28.273 --> 00:02:30.859
there's been several rapes.

00:02:30.859 --> 00:02:32.861
That's ongoing, assaults.

00:02:33.903 --> 00:02:35.488
[Juliana] And then
everybody gonna be, like,

00:02:35.488 --> 00:02:37.282
"Why didn't you look?

00:02:37.282 --> 00:02:38.825
How weren't you aware?"

00:02:38.825 --> 00:02:40.326
You know?
- Yeah.

00:02:40.326 --> 00:02:41.870
(traffic drones)
- [Robert] Yeah, it's not

00:02:41.870 --> 00:02:44.038
such a sterile environment.

00:02:44.038 --> 00:02:46.374
Also, do you have a set of keys?

00:02:46.374 --> 00:02:47.250
- [Minerva] Mm-hmm.

00:02:47.250 --> 00:02:50.295
- [Robert] You put the
keys with one key out,

00:02:50.295 --> 00:02:51.212
like a knife.

00:02:52.046 --> 00:02:55.216
You go for underneath
the chin, a quick jab,

00:02:55.216 --> 00:02:56.801
and that'll stop him.

00:02:56.801 --> 00:02:58.428
Pretty quiet, pretty fast.

00:03:00.597 --> 00:03:03.558
- [Minerva] Does Kyle ever call
you when he's walking home?

00:03:04.934 --> 00:03:06.728
- [Thomas] Yeah, he often does call me,

00:03:06.728 --> 00:03:08.396
more just to say, "Good night."

00:03:08.396 --> 00:03:09.230
I'm like, "Where are you?"

00:03:09.230 --> 00:03:10.982
"Oh, I'm walking through Thompson Park."

00:03:10.982 --> 00:03:12.650
I'm like, "Dude, it's, like, really late."

00:03:12.650 --> 00:03:14.527
He's like, "Yeah, I know."

00:03:14.527 --> 00:03:16.362
He's like, "I stay in the light."

00:03:16.362 --> 00:03:17.405
I'm like, "I know."

00:03:17.405 --> 00:03:19.365
- [Minerva] He goes to
Thompson Park at night?

00:03:19.365 --> 00:03:20.325
- [Juliana] I just feel like

00:03:20.325 --> 00:03:22.035
that's [inaudible] stupid, [inaudible] fucking idiot.

00:03:22.035 --> 00:03:23.912
Yeah, he's not, maybe he's not

00:03:23.912 --> 00:03:24.954
gonna get, like, assaulted,

00:03:24.954 --> 00:03:28.416
but he's definitely gonna get mugged.

00:03:28.416 --> 00:03:30.835
- [Victoria] I'm so jealous of guys

00:03:30.835 --> 00:03:32.462
who can go out at night,

00:03:32.462 --> 00:03:34.464
and feel like they're
the king of the world.

00:03:34.464 --> 00:03:35.840
Because I love the nighttime.

00:03:35.840 --> 00:03:36.674
I really do.
- [Minerva] Yeah.

00:03:36.674 --> 00:03:37.926
I wanna go jogging at nighttime.

00:03:37.926 --> 00:03:39.010
I wanna, like,

00:03:39.010 --> 00:03:41.137
go to carnivals and...
- Yeah.

00:03:43.056 --> 00:03:45.099
We grew up learning

00:03:45.099 --> 00:03:47.185
that we are alive in a world

00:03:47.185 --> 00:03:49.771
that is out to harm us.

00:03:50.605 --> 00:03:54.734
- Mm-hmm.
- And, just it. (scoffs)

00:03:54.734 --> 00:03:56.986
- [Minerva] I'm really, really grateful

00:03:57.820 --> 00:03:59.864
that I was made aware of
these things, you know?

00:03:59.864 --> 00:04:04.410
It's prevented me from getting
into a lot of bad stuff, but...

00:04:05.870 --> 00:04:07.956
It feels like
something's kind of stolen,

00:04:07.956 --> 00:04:09.540
and it's...

00:04:09.540 --> 00:04:11.084
That's dramatic.

00:04:11.084 --> 00:04:12.418
It's really dramatic.
- [Victoria] No, no,

00:04:12.418 --> 00:04:14.379
that’s so true.

00:04:14.379 --> 00:04:18.091
- [Minerva] Do you ever get
angry at it, instead of afraid?

00:04:19.676 --> 00:04:24.389
[Victoria] I think I'm
always angry. (laughs)

00:04:24.389 --> 00:04:26.557
I think I'm always angry at it.

00:04:26.557 --> 00:04:29.227
- [Juliana] I just don't think
I can change anything.

00:04:29.227 --> 00:04:31.062
I don't know, it's kinda
been ingrained in my life,

00:04:31.062 --> 00:04:32.814
and I don't really think about it.

00:04:32.814 --> 00:04:34.357
Like, how it's kinda fucked up.

00:04:34.357 --> 00:04:36.025
(honking in distance)

00:04:36.025 --> 00:04:37.819
- [Robert] And, uh...

00:04:39.320 --> 00:04:40.571
it's tough.

00:04:40.571 --> 00:04:42.782
It's not a great place out there.

00:04:42.782 --> 00:04:45.076
For anybody, never mind you.

00:04:45.076 --> 00:04:48.246
And you're very special.

00:04:48.246 --> 00:04:49.998
And you are on your own.

00:04:49.998 --> 00:04:51.249
You're a beautiful young girl.

00:04:51.249 --> 00:04:54.085
And you're on your own.
(Minerva panting)

00:04:54.085 --> 00:04:56.838
(footsteps on road)

00:04:56.838 --> 00:04:58.548
- [Victoria] This world...

00:04:58.548 --> 00:05:02.093
wasn't built for us. (laughs)
(heart beating)

00:05:02.093 --> 00:05:03.803
It was almost built against us.

00:05:10.435 --> 00:05:12.312
- [Minerva] I think I'm getting close.

00:05:12.312 --> 00:05:13.479
Do you remember in first year

00:05:13.479 --> 00:05:15.606
when I would just, like, call
you after I got off the bus?

00:05:15.606 --> 00:05:19.152
Like, when I stayed on campus late?

00:05:19.152 --> 00:05:21.446
Thank you for, like,
picking up then, too, po.

00:05:23.031 --> 00:05:25.575
- [Jeremias] Just call
if you need.

00:05:25.575 --> 00:05:30.496
If by any chance, you need...

00:05:30.496 --> 00:05:34.334
if you need to
text me, okay?

00:05:35.084 --> 00:05:35.918
- [Robert] Be safe.

00:05:35.918 --> 00:05:36.753
Please be safe.

00:05:36.753 --> 00:05:39.714
Just be aware of what's
goin' on around you.

00:05:39.714 --> 00:05:41.382
(door clicks)

00:05:41.382 --> 00:05:43.176
- [Minerva] I'm inside now.

00:05:43.176 --> 00:05:45.136
- [Maritess] Okay, bye, nak.

00:05:45.136 --> 00:05:46.471
- [Jeremias] Bye, iha.

00:05:46.471 --> 00:05:49.015
- [Minerva] Thank you for
staying on the line, po.

00:05:49.015 --> 00:05:51.100
- [Maritess] No problem,
nak ko.

00:05:51.100 --> 00:05:52.894
Go eat, okay?

00:05:52.894 --> 00:05:55.188
- Okay.
- Okay, bye.

00:05:55.188 --> 00:06:00.151
- Bye.
(gentle music fades)
