During the course of Marcus’ (Richard Gutierrez) secret investigation at Isla Damai, he unexpectedly reunites with Harold (Elmo Magalona), who is unable to communicate with him due to recurring PTSD symptoms.
Marcus also encounters Harold’s saviors, Tanaon and his son, Ramli. Aggressively, Tanaon repeatedly orders Marcus to leave, considering that Task Force Alpha was involved with the brutal crossfire that killed the innocent Muslim residents on the island.
While Marcus deeply understands the frustration and resentment of Tanaon and the rest of the Muslim community on the island, he carefully emphasizes that he cannot leave for the crucial reason that he seeks to learn the truth concerning the unidentified group that started the relentless shooting, which turned into a bloody massacre.
Soon enough, both Tanaon and Marcus quickly exchange the evidence of their respective claims, particularly with Datu Rahman’s (Jaime Fabregas) innocence as well as Task Force Alpha’s compromised mission, which never intended to eliminate the civilians at all. With the truths he finally acquired and comprehended, Marcus eventually believes Datu Rahman’s previous confessions to him.
When Tanaon explains more about the unfolding and more severe dangers surrounding them and neighboring islands, Marcus’ offer of protection is also strongly denied since both Datu Rahman and Jalil (Gerald Anderson) are the community’s irreplaceable protectors.
As the night deepens, Marcus then responds to Tanaon’s vexations with kindness, promising that even though he cannot change the tragedy, he will make sure to bring justice to the Muslim community in Isla Damai by figuring out the real enemy.
