Wait!

For you!

How was the trip?

I saw it on the news.

Next time,

we'll bring you chocolates.

Right?

Let's go to Lydia's.

Make mine a double.

One isn't enough.

I'll take care of it.

Santos...

go ahead and clear the way.

Yes sir.

Where have you been?

Why did you spend the night out?

Hey!

What took you so long?

Did you build a f***ing monument?

But the warden's house was huge!

Don't make excuses with me!

Beat them up!

Warden wants you.

You're lucky.

Get out of my face.

Beat him up!

I said beat him up!

Warden.

This came for you.

It's going through.

It's official.

They'll let us know next month.

Take this.

Be good this time.

Francis.

Dad.

You already met Renato.

Wally, from the 3rd district.

Of course you haven't

met General Pacheco.

My son-in-law, Francis.

It's nice to finally meet you sir.

Philippine Military Academy,

Class of 2005.

Top of his class!

Then you're better than your dad.

If I remember correctly...

he was only 3rd or

4th in his class.

I'm sure you're good at golf.

I don't play, sir.

But your father was such a player.

General...

Nobody move!

Get out of the way!

I said out of the way!

Police!

Nobody move!

Stay where you are!

Wait a minute!

Where's your warrant?

Warrant?

Here's your warrant!

My tooth...

Who killed Tiu?

Tiu?

I don't know any Tiu.

Wait! Stop!

I was here all day yesterday!

I didn't leave the house!

My stomach was acting up.

- You didn't leave?

- No!

- You didn't leave?

- That's right.

What are you doing?

Wait!

Stop it sir!

Oh, for f***'s sake!

Do you know who he is now?

I know him!

He protects the drug

dealers in this area.

But that was before.

No one tries to go against them.

Do they have friends in uniform?

Why is it taking so long?

Son of a b*tch!

We have a guest!

Yes they have lots.

Even criminals are afraid of them.

Once, a rich Chinese

man conned Tiu.

The next day, he was dead.

Local Police is handling the case.

Salcedo isn't one of us.

He'll make things difficult.

Maybe he wants more.

Those a**holes are greedy.

His wife is running...

this coming election.

For councilor.

That's why he needs to lie low.

I can pull some strings...

and have the case

transferred to the NBI.

From there, Francis can take over.

We need a veteran to handle this.

What if your boy fails?

Our election plans are at stake.

Ben can take care of this.

The faster we close this...

the better.

You can do this, right?

Besides, he's family.

I trusted him with my daughter...

why not trust him

with the business too?

Because I don't trust him.

Whatever you say...

he's still Coronel's son.

Maybe you forgot

what his father did.

He almost ruined the military.
