Original subtitles

Let me know if they try anything.

Let us see what the lakan has to say.

But they are children.

Once again, you put all of us in jeopardy,

so you can assume some sort of moral high ground, Anton.

I was under the impression

that the accords were set up to protect us.

If we cast out the innocent, we set ourselves down the path to ruin

toward the outcome we all dread.

The children of Talagbusao can hardly be considered innocent.

We aswang aren't part of this Council to soothe our conscience.

Tell me if our purpose has changed.

The tribes and I will gladly leave this little club if so.

The accords are in place not only for our protection,

but for peace and order.

A better world for our children.

- The Lakan speaks the truth. - Ever the smooth fucker.

Perhaps there is merit in the Lakan's words.

Better to simply wipe the blood from the blade

than to go to war without.

True.

It would do us good to fight fire with fire if the God of War returns.

"If"? More like when.

We need to tie up all these loose ends before that happens.

I will take responsibility for them.

The moment that those two pose a threat to our safety,

I will put them down myself.

Surely this is acceptable to you all.

I accept the Lakan's offer.

As do I.

Then it is settled.

May we all be in balance.

May we all be in balance.

It wasn't their fault, Alex.

I still don't trust them.

Those two were raised to believe that violence and murder

are games to be played.

We can show them there is a better way to live

by giving them what they need most right now.

What's that?

A real family.

They will be guided by these.

All that death just hurts, Papa.

Of course, it should.

It is always painful when something is lost.

But it is that same pain that reminds us of what is at stake,

not just for us, but for everyone we protect.

Now, go on. It is late.

Do you believe in second chances?

Before I came to this place, I didn't.

I thought it was the end of the line when they caught me.

Someone or something was going to get me in here.

Before that could happen,

someone found me first

and granted me the means to change myself.

In doing so, that made me realize it must be broken down and rebuilt.

That's what I want to give to you.

The means to change yourself.

A second chance.

Sic itur ad astra.

Sic itur ad astra.

...Manila remains under a state of emergency

as several more explosions have rocked the city this week.

After taking credit for the attacks

and inciting the ongoing riots at the New Bilibid Prison,

Mayor Sancho Santamaria's recent statement

has left citizens fearful for their safety.

These first few attacks are only the beginning.

A demonstration of our power.

More buildings will fall.

More lives will be lost.

It is only when we have lost everything that we can truly begin anew as a country.

To forge a new and brighter destiny.

Change is coming.

Our ascent to the stars cannot to be stopped.

Sic itur ad astra.

In light of these events...

At least now we know who to blame for this mess.

Aww, you think you can actually take me on?

Cute.

I don't have time for your games, Maliksi. Say what you need to say.

My father sends his regards and a message.

The human bombers have hit many of the tribes' places of power.

The Armanaz building,

the aswang market,

and the higante armory.

Mayor Santamaria

has effectively declared humanity an enemy of the Council.

Señor Armanaz wishes to inform the Lakan

that the Council has met and made their decision.

The accords will no longer be honored.

The tribes must keep the peace as they see fit.

By casting aside humanity? By standing apart?

And the attacks were on both sides.

There's something bigger going on here.

And if we all want to survive, the tribes need to be united.

I get that and I'm with you there, Lakan.

But my father was outvoted.

It's getting worse and worse.

They're even targeting the minor players from the Underworld.

Jobert's place was just hit.

He's fine.

You can't kill a ghost.

It's really every tribe for themselves now.

I'm sorry.

Thank you for the message.

May the tribe of the Tikbalang continue to walk in Bathala's light.

If anyone else from the Underworld still owes you a favor,

I'd call them in now.

And while the Tikbalang can't officially say,

we will continue to support you.

I won't tell if you won't.

Jesus, bossing, you look worse than I feel.

I think Amang Paso's dead.

He sacrificed himself to put up a barrier.

He was telling me that...

It was Mayor Santamaria! He's the guy pulling the strings.

Take it easy, Hank. Everyone knows.

I'm just sick and tired of being the last one that does.

Do you remember anything about the bomber?

It's a blur.

He said that weird phrase. What was it?

Secure... sad bastard?

Sic itur ad astra.

"This way to the stars."

Anything else?

His eyes were weird.

They didn't look natural.

Like they were white.

Kulam.

It's not the first time Mayor Santamaria

has used black magic.

The mermaid bones.

His deals with the aswang.

Someone's always backing his play.

We get to the Mayor, we'll know who that is,

then we find out why all of this has been happening.

Oh, shit.

Let me get the car, so we can ice this bastard...

Rest up, Hank.

It'll be a while before the spell fixes you up.

I'm going to end this.

There! You see?

There!

And you're all standing in the latest one.

I'm glad you got me all this temporary equipment for this little caper,

but would it have killed you to get me a faster data plan?

Can I see the last one again?

That's one of the missing prisoners.

Two to one, if I check on the rest of these men.

They'll all be from the prison.

What the hell are we dealing with?

Magic, Captain.

Far stronger than I would give Mayor Santamaria credit for.

So it's pretty bad, then.

Figures.

Well, at least we know the bombers are coming from the prison.

But they keep getting past the military perimeter.

Whatever defense they have set up, it isn't good enough.

General Villar is the one in charge of it.

He's old-school and by the book.

Marco just got assigned to his staff.

I'll give him a call.

We'll meet you there.

I'm gonna take a friend's advice and call in some favors.

This feels off, Alexandra. Are we ready?

Can you hear me, Alexandra?

Are you ready?

What if I fail?

Our lineage has a stand in between the world of man and the supernatural.

But only when we have proven ourselves worthy

by facing the trials at the Great Balete Tree.

I don't feel ready.

You are the sixth child of the sixth child,

the babaylan-mandirigma.

Healer and warrior.

You were born ready.

I wish I could go in with you.

She will have to do.

"She"?

Sinag.

She's your twin, Alexandra.

I don't understand.

You told me my twin died at childbirth.

In a way.

I did everything we could to save your sister.

Forging that blade meant

that a part of her would always stay and watch over our family.

Why are you telling me this now when the trials are hours away?

This is when you need your family the most.

The trials may seem daunting.

But with Sinag, you won't be facing them alone.

She will always be there beside you.

Your family will always be there beside you.

Anton!

Hold fast.

Remember why we are here.

I knew it. I knew you were still alive.

I never stopped believing, not even for a second.

How long have I been gone?

Five years.

Felt like a hundred.

Where's Papa?

He died protecting you.

We held the line at the tree.

Not all of us survived.

There are so many things that I didn't get to say.

I never even told him that...

that...

Not that I'm ungrateful for the back-up, ma'am,

uh, but I was hoping for a lot more than magic.

I had hoped that after we rescued your friends,

you'd have a little more faith in magic.

No offense, ma'am.

You serve long enough, you learn to trust.

- But it's important to verify. - Sir, we shall stop to bust out some grub.

Good to know I have your trust.

General Villar is a stubborn one.

I can be very convincing.

The Mayor's got

all the disposable bombers he needs.

If I don't go in there and stop him,

he will make good on all of his insane threats.

You expect me to let you walk in there

because the Mayor has been controlling the prisoners with magic?

Black magic, to be exact.

White magic respects free will. Black magic enslaves it.

If you go in, you go in with military escort,

and you answer to us.

Too many eyes on this thing for me to make a mistake.

This is bigger than all of us, General.

I'm going in there with or without you.

Oh, my god.

My professional assessment, shit hit the fan.

Let all those who still doubt fear our retribution.

The winds of change have finally blown in our favor.

Today, we burn down Malacañang.

Tomorrow, everything else.

Incoming. I want suppressing fire now.

Sic itur ad astra.

Get down!

All units, take down that son of a bitch.

What the hell are you all waiting for?

Take cover.

Not the best odds, bossing.

We can totally take them.

I think.

I don't have it in me to shoot any of our people.

Isn't there anything we can do for them?

We have to end this quick.

We take the Mayor down, we dispel the possession.

Non-lethal shots, then. This isn't going to be easy.

It's the job. Cover me and try not to die.

Come on, boys.

Is it always like this with her?

Pretty much.

Free the men now.

Those men are free, as you will all soon be.

Had you not exposed me and sent me to prison,

I would have never met my benefactor.

Seems like a real nice guy.

Scoff if you must.

I made myself anew in prison. Thanks to him.

This change would not come overnight, though.

I needed a few items to make things permanent.

Tikbalang hair.

The ashes of a god.

The bones of the innocent.

The tears of a sinner.

All ingredients to give me the power I have now.

I used what connections I had to push things where they needed to be.

I suppose this benefactor of yours had you test out your powers

by blowing up all those locations.

You're as sharp as they say.

Your friend at the parlor, he was a bonus.

Nuno.

Hey, little Trese.

Can't have you hurting my familiar.

That sneaky little shit.

Straight up, I'm just going to kill him.

I know, I know. Hurts not to see things coming.

We had an understanding, Nuno.

Only way a guy like me really thrives is if nobody talks to each other.

The accords were bad for business.

And I was granted the power to raze this country to the ground

and rebuild it back up again.

A mutually beneficial partnership.

The same partnership I once offered to your father and the Council.

I could have lived with a "no."

All of them just have to laugh.

It's nothing personal, Lakan, just revenge.

You hurt Hank. You made it personal.

This ammo's not going to last.

See, girls, that's the look I was talking about.

A righteous man has no weakness to show.

Hard to get a clean shot, bossing.

Can't we just blow them up?

Gago, they will just put up their shields again.

You're both right. Come around from behind, boys.

Make sure you distract the Mayor

and make those Laman Lupa put up those shields.

I'm on Nuno. And whatever you do, don't stop firing.

What are you going to do?

Call in my last favor.

Give up this useless struggle.

Yeah, this guy's practically impenetrable.

That's what I'm counting on.

Close call, bossing.

They're all close ones.

No telling who else the Mayor and Nuno roped into their scheme.

- We have... - Bossing, we just won.

Can't we have a drink and call it a day?

Okay, but you two are buying.

We start first thing tomorrow.

I don't think you'll need to wait any longer.

Nuno and the Mayor have served their purpose,

as have you all.

I commend you, little Trese.

I didn't think you'd make it this far.

It has been amusing watching you struggle,

but it is time for you to face your true destiny.
