Lucas (JM de Guzman) visited Erica (Kaila Estrada) at her law firm. Without any intention of a light-hearted “long time no see,” he threatened her with a complaint if she ever went to Edong’s (Jake Cuenca) confinement again.
She clarified that Edong’s sudden call had prompted her to visit and talk to him. Lucas emphasized that she was of no use to his brother anymore, despite her intentions to reinvestigate Louisa’s (Mutya Orquia) murder case, since she had refused to talk 14 years ago when she was needed the most.
Another flashback revealed more of Edong’s (Renshi de Guzman) suffering in prison. He was beaten every night, burned with cigarettes, and even urinated on. During one video call, Lucas (Andrez del Rosario) saw the aftermath of the abuse, yet Edong remained positive and determined to endure.
The brothers’ conversation led to the problem of their aunt taking control of their house, which had belonged to their late father. Both were now completely alienated from their remaining relatives.
From that point on, Lucas narrated how Edong had worked hard to change himself and his life inside the cell, which could earn him an approved commutation of his sentence. He emphasized that his brother’s hard work would not be in vain, offering one last warning to Erica.
