Elai knew the identity of one of his spies in the military and exposing the link could very well jeopardize his grand scheme.</p><p>The other risk to it was aggravating Rhian (Angel Locsin), known to Tiago as &quot;Uno.&quot; She was a prized pupil inside his terrorist training camps and he no doubt considers her a huge threat. </p><p>Rhian was close to Nanang and Elai, both of which helped her after being found with little to no memory of who she is. They also instilled in her a vision of life outside all the violence. </p><p>But Elai had to die and Tiago mercilessly pulled the trigger on him after surrounding him with this goons inside a forest. He also killed Nanang, who was kidnapped along with Elai. </p><p>Rhian arrived a tad too late and a heartbreaking scene where she broke down while trying to wake up the two made the show a top trending topic on Twitter worldwide. </p><blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-lang="en"><p dir="ltr" lang="en">You deserve a standing ovation for this scene!
