As Officer Domingo (Bart Guingona) watches the live footage reporting the deaths of Jules (AC Bonifacio) and Ona Chan (Xilhouette), Senator Maristella (Lloyd Samartino) storms up to him and orders him to tell his team to leave the premises of La Playa Roja. Domingo refuses, insisting that his men are risking their lives to save the hostages, and more reinforcements are on the way. The senator erupts in fury, knowing his own son, Macky (Kobie Brown), is still being held captive at the resort. “Kaya gagawin mo ang gusto ng mga hostage-takers. No more police intervention,” Senator Maristella declares with conviction.
Macky, meanwhile, is held captive with Topak (Benedict Cua) by the armed men. He worries about Rita (Maika Rivera), who was lost along the way during their escape. This provokes Topak to lash out at him, “Kailan ka pa nagkaroon ng pakialam sa babaeng ‘yon?” The two clash in a heated confrontation.
Tres enters the room where Macky and Topak are kept. He orders his men to take Topak away, leaving Macky behind. Topak pleads desperately for mercy, crying, “Ano ba’ng nagawa ko, mga boss? May pambayad naman ako, ah. Malaki ang kita ng sanglaan ko. Magbabayad ako!” He promises Uno, who now points his gun at him. In desperation, Topak tries to sell out Macky, suggesting they take him instead. But Uno (Joel Torre) refuses, knowing Macky is more high-profile. “‘Pag VIP ang pinatay namin, mas masisindak sila.”
Uno orders his men to turn on the live broadcast, showing Topak held captive. “'Di ba sabi ko sa inyo, kapag hindi pa umalis ang mga pulis dito, may itutumba ulit ako!” Uno declares. Areza (Ejay Falcon) and his team watch the broadcast, and Olsen (Kyle Echarri) informs him that Uno and Topak are at the main dock. Areza immediately orders his men to move.
“Para sa mga pulis na nagtatago d’yan! Ang titigas ng ulo n'yo! Kaya ito, pasasabugin ko ang bungo nito!” Uno screams as he prepares to shoot Topak. Suddenly, Liam’s voice echoes through the radio, “Itigil n'yo na ‘yan!” His warning leaves Uno baffled. Liam continues, “Kapag pinasabog mo ang bungo niyan, may sasabog din na bungo dito. ‘Yong anak n'yo, si Leni.”
The chilling threat shakes Uno to his core. Realizing his daughter is in danger, he immediately orders his men to shut down the broadcast.
