A group of prisoners are being escorted by the soldiers when they are ambushed.  Carolino, one of the members of the Guardia Civil and the son of Cabesang Tales, bravely fight the bandits, killing with a spear the bandits' leader and an old man.  Upon approaching the dead, he recognizes that the old man that he has shot is none other that his grandfather, Tata Selo.
