(The Summary of “Noli Me Tangere”)

Linares introduces himself to Padre Damaso as the godson of his brother-in-law.  Linares says that he graduated with a law degree from a university and that he has come to the Philippines to find work and to look for a wife.  Upon hearing this, Padre Damaso calls Capitan Tiago.  Lucas, meanwhile, approaches Padre Salvi to ask for help, being the brother of the yellowish man killed when the derrick collapsed.
