Alyana pushing through with her dumb plan to reach out to Senator De Silva. Branding her as the wife of a terrorist, the rotten senator doesn’t forgive as he accuses her of using her position in the media to defend Cardo, our favorite hero. Nevertheless, Alyana questions him about the successive incidents at Sitio Kasanga, asking if he was responsible for it all. De Silva turns the tables and lambasts her for a while before General Borja shows up to have Billy drag her miserable self away.
A reporter asks of what the PNP would do regarding Senator De Silva’s actions and Delfin reveals that they’ve filed a case against him for maintaining a private army. De Silva argues that all his bodyguards have legal documents and licensed weapons. Another reporter asks Delfin if he’s capable of arresting the members of Bloody Sun as well as his own grandson.
General Borja gives De Silva a dirty look. “Any person who breaks the law, rebels or my own grandson, or a senator of this country, will be arrested at once.”
Senator De Silva taunts Delfin over the failure of the authorities to capture Romulo and his other Bloody Sun comrades. As Bruno leads Cardo and Romulo’s group to a higher floor of the bar, Billy urges Alyana to take heed to Delfin’s words and stop pursuing the senator. But we all know bullheaded Alyana won’t listen to reason. As she strongly expresses her objection, Catindig criticizes General Oligario’s firm belief of Cardo’s innocence despite everything going on.
“Even director Hipolito is convinced that Dalisay is guilty,” so says the traitorous snake. “Don’t you trust the director?”
“We’re all after the truth,” Diana declares. “But there are some people who want to twist the truth. But the moment everything finally comes to light, everyone who’s hiding the truth…will pay.”
Cardo and Romulo’s group depart from the bar when they don’t find Homer’s gang there. While Anton and Greco’s group check out another bar in town, Hipolito has a talk with Catindig about the trouble Senator De Silva has been causing. In order to protect his campaign, he harbors thoughts of silencing the senator for good. Catindig offers to take care of him but Hipolito insists on handling it himself.
General Borja has another encounter with Senator De Silva who tries to make a spectacle of him again in the presence of the scoop-hungry-media. A moment later at camp Crame, Delfin interrogates him about his involvement in the incident at Sitio Kasanga the other night. De Silva grumbles that he had already clarified the matter at his press conference. Delfin asks of the person who had tipped him off about the location of the rebels but the senator refuses to disclose his source.
“Are you connected to the group of men who attacked the area and fought the Bloody Sun?”
“I don’t know who they are,” De Silva replies with a smirk.
General Borja won’t be fooled though. “Even if you succeed in gaining the public’s sympathy, what you did was still wrong. The law is not in your hands, senator.”
Senator De Silva resorts to a taunting gesture. “If you don’t want people to interfere with your job, then do it properly.”
While Homer and his lackeys are all dressed up and eager to head to the exclusive club in town for some fun time, Cardo calls Jerome and Soriano on phone to ask for an update on Homer, and Soriano pleads with him to not take the law into his own hands but allow the authorities to handle the case since it’s their job.
“We all have the same objective here,” intones our favorite hero. “So I’m very sorry, but this is something I must do. The minute I find Homer and the others, I’m going to make sure. That they all end up dead.”
At the rebel hideout, Regine prays for the safety of her brother, Cardo and the Bloody Sun in all their endeavors. Back in town, Cardo and the rebels regroup at an eatery, hell-bent on finding Homer’s group. At the precinct, Soriano hopes that the troubles of our favorite hero would all come to an end before the year is over. While Cardo and his allies finish their meals to resume their search, Homer and his lackeys arrive at the fancy club in town and weasel their way into the international gentlemen’s bar.
Hipolito has a talk with Catindig about Senator De Silva’s actions, taking pleasure in the fact that the senator had put himself in a precarious situation and made things even more difficult for Cardo and Romulo. On this account, he abandons his plan of getting rid of him, confident that the charges against him would be enough to bring him down.
Pilo introduces Homer to their new client, Mr. Sanchez. While the corrupt politician orders some ladies for Homer and his lackeys, Cardo and the Bloody Sun arrive outside the most expensive bar in town. Romulo has Earthworm, Greco and Barakuda stay behind with their weapons outside while he and the others proceed inside. As fate will have it, some security men hold them off from going into the international gentlemen’s bar on account of their clothing.
“Don’t you know filthy rich people like to dress simple?” Bruno says. “We just arrived from Saudi. You want me to slap you with wads of cash?”
And with that, the guards allow them entry after frisking them. Once inside, Bruno continues with his Saudi Arabia gimmick and the excited bar manager offers to bring them the most beautiful and freshest ladies they have. They’re taken to their table and Bruno warily orders nothing but five beers. They then begin discussing the possibility of finding Homer at such an expensive bar.
Revealing that he’s running for governor and that his rival is much stronger than him, Mr. Sanchez asks Homer to create a ruckus so he would solve the problem immediately in order to earn the people’s admiration. Homer is distrustful as to whether he can be trusted and the rotten old man assures him of his loyalty. On that account, the Scorpion asks for 50 million to scare all the people in his area and another 30 million to eliminate all his enemies.
“Done deal,” Mr. Sanchez declares.
Homer’s gang begin to celebrate loudly, making a toast with Mr. Sanchez, his men and their ladies. The clamor of noises draws the attention of Cardo, Romulo and the others. Upon spotting the group of scumbags, Romulo orders Tadpole to retrieve their weapons from Barakuda. Bruno points out that things might not turn out well since the scumbags are too many.
“Then we will have to keep a close watch on them,” Cardo states. “We can’t let them escape this time.”
A tall model is called on stage and introduced as ‘Miss Bubbles’. As if under a spell, Homer looks on transfixed as Bubbles performs. After staring for a while, he turns to Mr. Sanchez and asks for an advance payment to buy her. Once off the stage, the manager introduces Bubbles to Mr. Sanchez, and Homer wastes no time as he asks her to be the queen to his entire kingdom. Bubbles asks if he’s a king and Homer replies in the negative and assures her that he can give her everything her heart desires as long as she gives him what he wants.
While Homer is busy making a move on Bubbles, Cardo and his allies split up to keep an eye on the Scorpion and his lackeys and keep them from making them out. At the NMIG, Catindig assures General Oligario that they’re using all their resources to investigate Senator De Silva. Diana speculates that there might be another government official who is connected to the case.
“Any idea who that might be?” Catindig asks.
“I’m working on it,” Diana merely says.
Director Hipolito arrives and announces to the entire staff that he had brought along six boxes of champagne for their celebration. The ignorant officials give the despicable director a clap offering. As Homer continues to entice Bubbles with his unending promises, James thanks Hipolito for coming over to celebrate with them, adding that he hopes he wouldn’t forget them once he becomes senator. Hipolito mumbles a bunch of nonsense and his subordinates make a toast in his name.
Homer parts ways with Mr. Sanchez after receiving his initial bonus on account of their partnership. Bruno spies as the scumbag leaves with Bubbles and his lackeys. After reclaiming their weapons at reception, the group of scumbags head down the stairs. Once they’re out of sight, Cardo, Romulo and Anton resurface and look on. The episode concludes as they silently follow them out of the bar.
