On the Job

In the heart of the Philippines, Mario and Daniel, two prisoners, find themselves in a unique situation where they get released only to commit contract killings. While navigating their violent lifestyles, Mario uses the money to support his daughter Tina and estranged wife Lulette, showcasing the complexities of their lives behind bars.

The narrative takes a dark turn when Mario and Daniel are tasked with killing a notorious drug lord named Tiu. This event alters the dynamics of their precarious existence, as the repercussions of their actions draw the attention of law enforcement.

The aftermath of Tiu's murder leads NBI Agent Francis Coronel to take charge of the investigation. This transition is manipulated by Congressman Manrique, who has political interests and wants to control the unfolding scenario.

As Coronel and his partner Bernabe arrive at the precinct, they encounter PNP Sergeant Joaquin Acosta, who feels that the case has been taken from him unjustly. This rivalry intensifies as both law enforcement factions aim to solve the case first.

Mario and Daniel receive a contract to kill Linda, whose husband Pol pleads for help due to his past connections with Acosta. This brings unexpected complications into the mix, as Pol becomes entangled in the deadly plans set in motion.

During the turmoil, Pol uncovers that Tiu's murder is part of a larger conspiracy involving multiple assassinations orchestrated by Pacheco, a military officer with political ambitions. This revelation adds layers to the ongoing rivalry among gangsters and officials.

While executing the hit on Pol, Mario and Daniel's plan unravels when Daniel's weapon jams. The ensuing chaos leads them to evade capture but results in Pol being eliminated during a hospital confrontation.

Amidst the unfolding violence, Bernabe suffers a severe injury, which complicates Coronel's investigation. Additionally, Acosta experiences a troubling realization when he catches a glimpse of Mario’s face during a confrontation, leaving him in a moral quandary.

Tensions escalate as Coronel confronts Congressman Manrique, threatening to arrest Pacheco. This high-stakes confrontation highlights the web of corruption and the intertwining of crime and politics within their lives.

As the pressure mounts, Mario reveals feelings of betrayal to Daniel, mourning his disconnection from his daughter Tina, who shocks him with her plans for independence. This emotional turmoil highlights Mario’s inner conflict as he navigates loyalty and family.

Tiu's father claims to possess crucial evidence that could implicate several involved parties, leading to a confrontation with Pacheco. In a chilling moment, Coronel learns of Pacheco's dark past, including the murder of his own father.

In a shocking turn of events, Daniel brutally kills Coronel, catalyzing a violent reaction from Acosta. This act not only intensifies the chaos but also marks a critical turning point in their criminal journey.

Despairing and feeling abandoned, Mario ultimately makes the heartbreaking decision to kill Daniel, preferring imprisonment over a hollow existence. This choice emphasizes the toll that their violent lives have taken on their sense of purpose.

Following Coronel's death, an investigation into Acosta begins amidst rising political tensions. Pacheco hypocritically claims his readiness for scrutiny, even as danger looms for all involved in the twisted web of their lives.

As the dust settles, Bernabe begins to sift through the materials left by Coronel and discovers incriminating evidence against Pacheco. This crucial finding sets the stage for a looming confrontation that promises to change everything.
