The hero cop then assisted Jane in filing a police report, in which she claimed the suspect had kidnapped and kept her in a motel, before she managed to escape.</p><p>Cardo’s encounter with Jane on the street seemed by chance, but later scenes of her alone at home cast doubt not only on her intentions, but her identity.</p><p>The softspoken Jane, who appeared fearful and wary in her first meeting with Cardo, had a sudden switch in demeanor. Seeing a photo of Cardo on the newspaper, she was now a lustful, scheming admirer with a plan of luring her rescuer to her home.</p><figure class="op-interactive"><div id="IVS_ABS_Body_Video_1_Container"> <ivs-player id="IVS_ABS_Body_Video_1" data-ivs-spid="3001339" data-ivs-key="e8c22c015ca9eafa76f1e3edfa03c603" data-ivs-vid="1384207" data-ivs-floating="1"></ivs-player> <script src="https://player.ivideosmart.com/ivsplayer/v4/dist/js/iframe-parent.js"></script> <script src="https://player.ivideosmart.com/ivsplayer/v4/dist/js/loader.js"></script> </div></figure><div class="iwantbar">Watch more in <a href="//www.iwantv.com.ph/">iWantv</a> or <a href="//tfc.tv/">TFC.tv</a></div><p>Tidying her space in anticipation of a tryst with Cardo, she caught sight of a doll which then prompted a change in her expressions and her voice. She groomed the doll, and in a childlike manner told her playmate of “Kuya Cardo,” her superhero.</p><p>A fourth character, or personality, surfaced when she accidentally hit a head wound she had sustained in the earlier struggle. This time, she turned violent, hurling the doll across the room. Calling herself “Kuya,” she warned the others that Cardo is like any other man and that he, too, would take advantage of them.</p><p>Waking up, apparently as Jane, she resolved to stop Kuya, whom she blamed vaguely for killings. The first hint of her involvement, as shown earlier in the episode, was a facial composite for a murder case that resembled her.</p><p>“Hindi ko na naman napigilan si Kuya. Kailangan matapos na ‘to,” she said as she looked in the mirror. “Ilang beses na siyang pumapatay. Mapapahamak lang kami. Hindi na dapat siya masunod. Ako na ang masusunod.”</p><blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-lang="en"><p dir="ltr" lang="tl">Ay kaloka nakakatakot yung Role ni Ms.Judy Anne shet! Kinilabutan ako dun.
