Ako si Attorney Leah Ramirez-Rivera. Asawa ako ni Jacob Rivera (JC de Vera). Anak ako ni Police General Diego Ramirez,” she declares with conviction. “Sila mga boss mo, ‘di ba? Ano?! Papatayin mo ba ang asawa’t anak ng mga boss mo?!”</p><p>When the gunman fails to respond, Leah confirms her suspicion—her husband and father are indeed the bosses. This fuels her rage even more, then she rushes King and Chloe to her car. “Sandali! Saan mo dadalhin ang apo ko?!” Lolita demands. They argue. “Mas ligtas siya sa akin!”</p><p>“Hindi! Hindi mo pwedeng kunin ang apo ko!” Lolita protests.</p><p>Leah explains that Samuel called her and asked her to protect King. Despite Lolita’s protests, Leah drives off with King and Chloe to keep them safe from any danger. </p><div><br/></div><div><strong>Arissa worries about Enzo while being watched</strong></div><p>Meanwhile, Arissa (Francine Diaz) isn’t safe either. She’s worried about Enzo (Seth Fedelin), while Luke (Jeremiah Lisbo) tries to calm her down, saying Enzo’s disappearance is normal.</p><p>“Wala kang alam!” Arissa snaps at him. Luke insists he doesn’t know anything because no one tells him the truth. He asks if Arissa has a problem with him. </p><p>Arissa doubts Luke because he’s the son of Congressman Abel (Simon Ibarra). “Kaya pala nilalayuan mo ’ko dahil doon,” Luke says. He reassures her that not everything is true and that it’s all fake news. “Mabait at tapat na congressman ang papa ko.”</p><p>While they talk, Arissa is unknowingly being watched by one of Diego’s armed men posing as a restaurant customer. He discreetly points a gun at her. Just before he can shoot, Paeng (Nico Antonio) arrives and pulls Arissa to safety.</p><p>Luke, furious, punches a wall in frustration—only to discover stacks of money hidden inside the wall. </p><div><br/></div><div><strong>Samuel faces allegations over Colonel Enrico&#x27;s death</strong></div><p>Samuel struggles to escape the scam warehouse. He’s beaten and tortured until he loses consciousness. When he wakes up, he finds himself beside Colonel Enrico’s (Soliman Cruz) lifeless body, and he’s in disbelief.</p><p>As he mourns, a group of policemen arrive, including Johnny (RK Bagatsing). They see the gun in Samuel’s hand and immediately suspect him.</p><div><br/></div><div><script data-wid="auto" type="text/javascript" src="https://content.viralize.tv/display/?zid=AAFz8gWM8iRADsJr&amp;cid=ABrj4CdE3wPL0eCp"></script></div><div><br/></div><p>“Hindi ko siya pinatay!” Samuel cries.</p><p>Johnny removes Samuel’s mask and is enraged to see it’s him. His suspicions deepen, and he arrests Samuel. Samuel continues to deny involvement in Colonel Enrico’s death. “Hindi ko pinatay si Colonel! Magkasama kami sa operasyon!”</p><p>Johnny doesn’t believe him. “Huli ka na nga, kung ano-ano pa’ng sinasabi mo, eh!” Samuel reveals he was the one who rescued the abducted women from the container van. Johnny recalls one of the victims’ stories about a man who helped them escape. He also remembers the attempted kidnapping of the programmers.</p><p>“Ako ’yong tinatawag mong Zorro. Pinasok ko ’yong sindikato para pabagsakin sila! ’Yong Bakunawa, Johnny, set-up ’to ng boss nila, si Tanda, para gantihan ako!” Johnny asks who Tanda is. Samuel reveals it’s General Diego Ramirez—Johnny’s own father. Johnny is stunned as the truth begins to sink in.</p><div> </div><div><strong>Samuel named as the head of Bakunawa</strong></div><p>News breaks that the leader of Bakunawa has been captured—Samuel Trinidad.

Which led to the death of Colonel Enrico Villanueva.” Samuel is now in custody.  </p><p>Agnes is shaken by the news of Colonel Enrico’s death. Samuel is presented as the alleged head of Bakunawa. Reporters bombard him with questions.</p><p>“Hindi ako ’yong pumatay kay Colonel Villanueva at lalong hindi ako ’yong ulo ng Bakunawa!” He adds that he helped Colonel Enrico investigate the syndicate’s crimes. “Ang totoong pinuno ng Bakunawa ay si Police General Diego Ramirez!”</p><p>Leah watches as Samuel exposes the truth. “Kasabwat niya sina Roldan Rivera (Joko Diaz) at Jacob Rivera! Front lang ’yong Oriental Ridge. At kasama rin sina Congressman Montelibano, Pastor Ferdinand Almonte (Joel Saracho), Valentino Narciso (Mel Martinez), at si Matthias Vergara (Eric Fructuoso).” Samuel’s revelations enrage the Bakunawa members. Diego appears as Samuel accuses him. “That is so preposterous!” Diego denies. “That is so low! Even for someone of your stature, Samuel Trinidad!”</p><p>“Ikaw ’yong pumatay kay Colonel Enrico. Sinet-up mo ’ko!”</p><p>Diego laughs off the accusation. “I had no idea that the biggest scammer was right under my nose!” He claims Samuel used King to get close to him, revealing that Leah is King’s mother. “Pinasabog niya ang kotse ko para patayin ako. And when he failed, pinalabas pa niya na siya ang nagligtas sa akin para magmukha siyang bayani!”</p><p>Diego manipulates the public while Samuel is taken away. </p><div> </div><div><strong>Leah tells the truth about their family</strong></div><p>As she watches the news, Leah sobs with King and Chloe cry behind her.
