- Pa, what happened?
- Boss.
What did you do to regain
Mr. Denero's favor?
That's not important.
What matters is that I'm now
the head of the Asian chapter.
And soon, I'll be in control
of the European and
American chapters too.
Really, boss?
Congratulations!
It seems your trip to
Macao was a success.
But what did they ask for
in exchange of you
getting the position?
That's none of your business.
Your job is to follow my orders.
Now, leave me alone.
Yes, boss.
- So...
- Chief.
...what merits this meeting?
Chief, there's something
you show know.
Ulysses was appointed head
of their Asian chapter!
You're still working on that?
Didn't I mention you're
pulled out of that mission?
You're already compromised!
You'll get in danger!
The agency might get
compromised, too!
Chief, my job there
is almost done.
Just give me a little more time.
JC, don't be stubborn.
You're more needed
in other missions.
Sorry, Chief,
but you're wrong.
We're close to catching
the syndicate's top leader.
It's too dangerous, JC!
Many of our agents
got compromised
because your cover
has been blown!
Just leave the rest to us.
You're off the case!
No, Chief.
I'll see this mission through.
I'm giving you a direct order.
You're off the Balthazars' case!
I'm reassigning you
to another case in Cebu.
I'm sorry, Chief,
but I refuse.
I'm warning you, JC.
This is insubordination.
I'll suspend you.
And if you push through
with your plan,
you won't be able to
work for the agency again.
You'll kick me out
of the bureau?
That will be your consequence
if you continue to act
without the bureau's
permission.
And I won't be able to
do anything about it.
Dad!
JC.
- Dad.
- Son.
They kicked me out
of the agency.
But why?
They want me to pull out
of the mission,
but I won't stop until
we take down the syndicate
and get Aris back.
Hold on, you're still
going to do it
Hold on, you're still
going to do it
Son, it'll be too dangerous!
- There's no one to back you up!
- But, Dad...
...we can't just let Aris
remain in the syndicate.
This can't end here.
- We need to make Ulysses pay.
- How will you do that?
Who will believe
that you didn't get brainwashed
by the syndicate?
And how can you still
rescue their victims?
Even if you want to
stop their operations,
you can no longer
call the bureau
to ask for backup.
Dad...
I'll ask help from you
and Darius.
You can help me
stop the syndicate.
 
Who organized the auction
in Acacia?
Who is the leader of
the syndicate?
I'm Attorney Macalino.
I'm here to represent
Mr. Fajardo.
What's going on?
You don't have to answer
their questions,
especially the
self-incriminating ones.
He's the one who
requested to see us.
Well, sir, your questions
are a bit tricky.
Excuse me for interrupting,
but I need time to give
counsel to my client.
Ulysses Balthazar sent me.
He wanted you to know that you
have nothing to worry about.
He has your back.
Why only now?
Is it because I was going
to rat him out?
Trust me, I'll get you
out of here.
You should. Because their
freedom is at stake here.
We are abiding by my client's
given earlier statement
that Mr. Fajardo was on
the occasion just to view
the paintings and
other artworks.
What were you going to tell us
before your lawyer arrived?
Sir, I just wanted to thank you
for taking care of me.
for taking care of me.
I'm just really grateful.
Who sent you here?
He and his wife argued
the last time she visited.
She couldn't have been
the one who sent you.
Sir, let's just say that
I arrived just in time.
Otherwise, you might have
already coerced my client.
Now, that being said,
since there isn't any
outstanding complaint
against my client,
he should be released
so we can be on our way.
This way, Attorney.
- Excuse me.
- Kindly sign his release form.
re you nervous now?
I wonder what would happen
once Papa finds out your secret.
You're all talk.
Why don't you just tell him
and be done with it?
Not yet.
I'll let you suffer
from fear and anxiety
a little longer.
You won't know when
I'll reveal your secret.
So...
...just continue your mission.
Be afraid every time you step
inside our territory.
You won't know if I've
already told Papa...
...and you'll be met
with a bullet instead.
I'm used to danger.
I'm not scared.
Oh yeah?
We'll see how brave
you really are
once Papa decides
to go after your family.
Aris, can you really do that
to your own family?
I don't consider you my family.
So what do you think?
Dad.
We were told that
Adolfo won't talk anymore.
We thought he was going
to be the key
to bringing the Balthazars down,
but Ulysses still found a way.
Ulysses won't let their
syndicate fall that easily,
especially now that he
heads their Asian chapter.
But we still have an ace
up our sleeve.
- What's that?
- Me.
I've decided to testify
against the syndicate.
But what about your mission
to capture their leader?
Besides Denero, Ulysses also
controls their operations
in the Philippines
and rest of Asia.
Are you ready?
Yes, Dad.
I will confess that I'm
a member of their syndicate.
I will personally
bring down the Balthazars.
And once we capture Ulysses,
the whole syndicate will fall.
They'll finally answer
for their crimes.
JC, wait.
Your plan is too dangerous.
You need to be extra careful.
You don't know what Ulysses
might do to you after that.
Dad, there's no room for fear
and doubt in this line of work.
We both know that.
If my testimony to the bureau
is the only way
to incriminate them,
I'm ready to bet my life on it.
Maybe then, they'll realize
that you only
disobeyed their orders
because of your dedication
to your job and the mission.
This might even reinstate you
as their agent.
I hope so, Dad.
But regardless of the outcome,
I'll go through with it
for the sake of justice
and our family.
By the way,
how's Aris' case going?
They removed me from the case
after they found out
your mother's involved.
But I'm sure they'll still
continue the investigation.
JC, maybe you can talk
to your mother.
Convince her to stay away
from Aris for now.
Maybe she'll listen to you.
Someone's back.
He has a lot of
explaining to do.
You bastard!
You're shameless!
How dare you come back here?
Damn you!
- That's enough.
- Let go of me!
- I'll break your face!
- That's enough!
You just got out of jail,
but you're already
causing trouble?
Boss, I have a beef
to settle with your son.
I don't care
about your dispute.
You're the one who
needs to answer to me!
You almost ratted us out
to the cops!
Right?
- Answer me!
- Boss...
That's not true, boss.
Don't lie to me!
That's exactly what
your wife said!
I was just threatening her.
I felt like she was going
to let me rot in jail.
I only said that
to pressure her to
get me out of there.
Boss, I wasn't really
going to do it.
I've been loyal to you
since I was a kid.
I never betrayed you,
not even once!
Boss!
I only did that because
of your adopted son!
He's fooling around
with my wife.
That's why I threatened her.
Your wife's the one who
keeps flirting with me.
It's probably because
you don't know how
to satisfy her.
- Damn you!
- That's enough!
Just come back here
when you're done whining.
Settle your problem
with your wife first.
Understood?
- Bruno!
- Yes, boss?
Get him out of my sight.
Come with us.
Get your hands off me!
- Leo...
- Yes, Pa?
Make sure he keeps
his mouth shut.
Keep an eye on the others, too.
Put their loyalty to the test.
In that case, why
don't we start
with the last person
who failed you?
I'm referring to JC.
Me?
Why me?
You always brag about
your loyalty to us...
...so prove it.
Alright.
What do you want me to do?
I'll do anything.
Just say the word.
Anything, huh?
You sure about that?
Yeah.
Kidnapping, extortion,
human trafficking, anything.
Name it, I'll do it.
You heard what he said?
He says he'll do anything to
prove his loyalty to our group.
Now, if he doesn't
stick to his word...
...that means he's a traitor.
What's the meaning
of this?
Why did you ask me
to come?
Aren't you too eager
to impress Papa?
Then here you go.
You know why I act like that
in front of Ulysses.
I'm not competing with you
so stop this nonsense, Aris.
Stop calling me that.
If someone hears--
You know that
Ulysses' syndicate
is about to go down.
And when that happens,
you will be dragged into it.
But Dad and I won't let
that happen.
So please.
Leave the syndicate
while you still can.
Who told you I will leave
this syndicate?
I worked hard for this
so no one can take over
my position!
Not you, not Eugene,
or whoever police or agent
who wants to bring us down!
But you...
You can still quit
while you still can.
JC.
Since we know each other,
I won't make things
harder for you.
What will you do to me?
Please let me go.
What now, JC?
Are you changing
your mind?
No.
Wow.
Good.
Here's what you should do.
Kill Dante now.
Fine.
Leave him to me.
I'll kill him myself.
No!
No, no.
You'll kill him right here.
In front of all of us.
What?
You can't do it?
Please don't kill me!
No!
I'm begging you!
Don't!
Boss, I don't think
he can do it.
Well, JC?
I knew you couldn't--
