Still high on emotions, Erica (Kaila Estrada) finally arrives at Bagumbayan Prison with Marco (Race Matias) and Lucas (JM de Guzman) tagging along.
In haste, she introduces herself to the guards, attempting to gain entry in search of the elusive Edong (Jake Cuenca). Instead, the jail guards explain the visiting schedule, stating that, even though she has legal authority, she must follow the rules.
Meanwhile, inside, Warden William Ayoc (Paolo Serrano) intimidates the inmates into revealing Edong’s whereabouts—despite them genuinely not knowing. One inmate, trembling, mentions that Edong might be tasked with delivering illegal goods outside again, which infuriates the warden, prompting him to punch the inmate.
Not long after, a higher officer, Prison Warden Wood Morales, calls for Warden Ayoc, explaining that he has just returned to utter chaos. He expresses greater concern over their illegal deliveries and hints that Warden Ayoc could become a scapegoat if the prison authorities’ involvement is questioned.
Frightened, Ayoc vows to resolve everything, while Warden Morales instructs that Edong be dealt with once located.
Usman, the police officer and Edong’s accomplice, helps him escape from prison. As he drives with Edong in the back of the car, he turns on the radio to hear news of Erica’s legal action against Bagumbayan Prison, as well as the launch of the manhunt for Edong. He then drops Edong off at a secluded roadside area.
