Júlio returns to the house of a friend, Pol, who informs him the next day that Ligaya had died in the night. She allegedely fell down a flight of stairs, but her bruising suggests she was killed by Ah-Tek, the man who rented her from Mrs Cruz and kept her and their baby imprisoned. Enraged, Júlio stalks Ah-Tek, who he saw at Ligaya's funeral, and successfully dispatches his target. In the following night, Júlio went to his house and he finally killed Ah-Tek as a revenge for the death of Ligaya. However, after he finished him, a mob pursues and eventually corners him; the film ends with a slow motion close-up of Júlio's terrified mouth, just as his assailants are about to strike and before the screen fades to white, a silhouette of Ligaya was shown.
