The entrapment operation targeting the undetected Edong (Jake Cuenca) commences, with Lucas (JM de Guzman) on the call with him, extremely careful to not disclose that Erica (Kaila Estrada), Marco (Race Matias), and the rest of Amurao’s police force are on standby.
In a surprising turn of events, multiple teenagers dressed up as Edong appeared consecutively, distracting the officers until Edong managed to sneak into the van with Crisanto (Gerald Madrid) inside, stabbing him and driving off.
Edong’s unexpected allies are revealed to be his empathizers; each holds a complicated background, from one saying that his father was accused of being an addict and was shot to death to another being suspected as a shoplifter instead of the mayor’s son who actually did the crime, and more.
Each of these individuals shares a commonality with Edong besides being blamed for the misdeeds of others: they are aware of unfair treatment between the wealthy and the impoverished. Edong had first met them on a seemingly ordinary evening and left them with messages that resonated with them, like the one about never allowing their worth to be diminished.
After Edong tells them how much he needs them, the young boys follow through with their plan, even demanding justice for him as they are taken into custody by the police.
Will Edong really attain his long-coveted justice through the execution of Crisanto? Find out in “What Lies Beneath,” airing weeknights on Kapamilya Channel, Kapamilya Online Live (KOL), A2Z, ALLTV, and iWant
