Uncle I Love You

Episode 1

It's Alice's sixteenth birthday, and she only wants one thing: for her and her dad to stay happy and healthy. That wish shatters when armed strangers break into their home, ordering her to open the door and shoot the lock. Her father's voice echoes in her head — if someone breaks in, escape through the window. The intruders demand to know where the girl is. Alice confronts them, asking where her dad is. The answer is ice cold: her father is dead, and she's next. Her quiet life as a bartender's daughter just became a fight to survive.

Episode 2

Someone questions why Hector is protecting Alice, but he doesn't back down. Hector orders the mess cleaned up, two bodies dealt with. Then he sits Alice down and tells her the truth: her dad was a hero, an undercover cop, killed that very day. Alice can't process it. Her dad was just a bartender. How could he be a cop? And somewhere in her grief, a darker question forms — who betrayed him?

Episode 3

Reeling from the revelation, Alice is handed off to Miss Mary, the headmistress of a welfare house. Hector calls her a very good human being who will take good care of Alice. Alice doesn't want to stay — she begs not to be left. But Hector insists it's too dangerous to be with him; he has to finish what her father started and take down the people responsible. He promises to come back once everything is over. Then, almost as an afterthought, he remembers: happy birthday, Alice. She's left behind with strangers.

Episode 4

Miss Mary shows Alice to her bed in a room full of poor girls and tells her to get some sleep. The welcome doesn't last. A girl sneers that Alice is the drug dealer's daughter — how can she be here? Alice insists her dad wasn't a dealer, he was a cop, and the room laughs at her. The bullying turns physical fast. When Alice fights back, she's told to apologize. Then a bracelet catches someone's eye — the one Hector gave her. Give it to me. Just like that, the orphanage becomes a hunting ground.

Episode 5

Hector arrives to find Alice already in trouble — she hurt someone on her first day. He apologizes to Miss Mary, explaining her dad just passed and she's still adjusting, then hands over money and asks that the girl be checked on. Alone with Alice, he corrects her: the mistake wasn't hurting someone, it was leaving marks where people can see them. She can't make enemies here. She has to stay another year until he's back and not distract him. Alice promises not to worry him anymore. But the cruelty around her is only getting started.

Episode 6

Hector visits with a promise and a bandaged hand he waves off as a small injury. He'll bring Alice a book every single visit — one book a month, and after twelve months, he'll come get her. She tells him to be careful, to stay strong. A year passes faster than expected. Alice has grown used to the bullying, the whispers of "drug dealer's daughter," the hunger of the welfare house. On her seventeenth birthday, Uncle Hector still hasn't shown up. And the older girls are talking about what girls here have to sell.

Episode 7

The threat turns real when someone offers to buy Alice for a night. A scuffle breaks out, and when Alice defends herself, she's told to show tolerance — because the bully has the headmistress's favor. At a parent-teacher meeting, Alice is asked whether her guardian is coming. No, he isn't. She takes the contact information to pass along anyway. Alone, she tries reaching Uncle Hector. No answer. So she makes her seventeenth birthday wish: to leave this place soon and find whoever killed her dad.

Episode 8

Money is the weapon now. Most of what Hector sends is taken by Miss Mary, and the other girls take their share too, leaving Alice with almost nothing — yet she's accused of hiding cash and threatened with violence if she doesn't hand it over. Then comes the cigarette, and the taunt that a drug dealer's daughter deserves to burn. Hector appears at the last second. I would come even if I had to crawl, he tells her. When the bully name-drops a powerful gang leader uncle, Hector simply makes a call.

Episode 9

Word spreads about what Hector did — the raid the night before, how Alice was brought back. Someone tells her plainly what Hector sacrificed for her, despite his orders to keep quiet. Alice notices his injuries and presses him: who did this to you? He brushes it off as nothing, minimizing wounds from more than one person. She's hurt he didn't tell her, but he insists it's only been a year and he can handle it. She vows to make them pay. Then it's time to head back to the welfare house.

Episode 10

Hector returns to the welfare house, and the reckoning begins. Miss Mary faces the consequences of everything she's done. A kettle of boiling water is set down — pick it up until it's empty, or it goes on your face. The demand is simple: don't apologize to me, apologize to her. Miss Mary breaks, admitting she treated Alice wrong and begging forgiveness. Hector doesn't stop there. The two girls who tormented Alice will go through it too. After a year of cruelty, someone is finally answering for it.

Alice spent a year counting on a promise — if you want to see whether Uncle Hector keeps his word, this one's worth pressing play on.
