Lucas (JM de Guzman) persistently urges Erica (Kaila Estrada) and Marco (Race Matias) to join him in finding Edong (Jake Cuenca), hoping to move faster than the NLEA police force.
Even as he insists he has no ill intentions, a flashback reveals Lucas meeting with an old friend, Steve Kyo, who has been repeatedly calling him about undisclosed matters. Soon after, Steve’s father—and one of Lucas’s business investors—Lawrence, arrives with a commanding presence, suggesting that Edong’s troublesome escape could at any moment jeopardize their shady business dealings, with Lucas directly tied to Edong as his brother.
Lawrence intensifies the pursuit of Edong, determined to erase his critical existence. After the tension-filled conversation, Lucas locates an informant and instructs him to join the search for Edong. Familiar with Lucas’s background, the informant is puzzled by Lucas’s apparent willingness to cooperate with the police—having previously despised them. He reasons that Edong can’t remain free here and instead plans to use every means to find him and hide him in another country.
Unexpectedly, Erica agrees but insists that Lucas prove he harbors no malicious intentions by revealing all the possible places where Edong might take refuge. Marco hesitates, but to everyone’s surprise, Lucas lists his mother’s tombstone along with five other locations.
