Meanwhile, Hugo (Archie Adamos) is ready to confess the gruesome story behind the Palanga massacre. But unbeknownst to him, Elias is also behind the Black Rider they have been chasing for the longest time.

And as the secret of the past unfolds, Señor Edgardo’s other son, Calvin (Jon Lucas), will gradually be consumed by anger.

Edgardo, Elias, and Calvin face the complex twists of their destinies at a crossroads, where every revelation and hidden truth shape their shared legacy.

Ruru himself is excited for viewers as the Black Rider’s story unravels.

“Expect bigger scenes, stunts, mas makabagbag-damdamin na mga eksena, mga drama. Pakikiligin din kayo ng mga eksena dito, patatawanin din kayo. Marami rin kaming mga guest na papasok dito sa Black Rider,” he says.
