I sought only to burn everything down, Father.

Now I understand what I did wrong.

And I shall pay a costly price for it.

The revolution I built... ended with nothing but ash A few days later... simoun was arrested.

And he waited to face his death alone

Until a familiar face was thrown beside him

Thats enough from you Indio! Save your breath for your own problems

Basilio!? Don’t dare harm him, you pigs! He has done nothing!

Simoun observed Basilio and felt regret for involving such a bright, young man with a hopeful future and extreme potential, in Basilio he sees how capable the Indio is and was glad to have met such a symbol of hope for his people.

The two guards roughly released their grip on Basilio.

Brutally thrown to the ground, he collapses to his knees His spirit has already left him long ago

Basilio lied down

Your path ends at the garrote, boy. Send your last letters to your family while you can

Being reminded of his family, he wished to be able to see them again.

and Simoun could do nothing but watch...

Basilio, I--I’m sorry. For you to have been brought to such...

...such a state? You had a future, a life filled with boundless potential... ...and to see it be snuffed out?

Not even a thousand apologies can be used to describe the absolute i-injustices that have befallen y-you...

A symbol of a brighter tomorrow... that is who you were meant to be.

Our future, our hope.... but n-now? You are here... ...P--Please, Basilio... I beg that you find it in yourself... to forgive my failures...

He tried with all his strength left to ask for Basilio’s forgiveness. However...

Much like his mother, Basilio was rendered in a catatonic state... where none of his words could reach...

Crispin...

Mother...

The days before their execution felt like weeks, the two sharing the darkness.

Until one final dawn.

You two! Get moving!

Interrupted their toughts

It is time for your execution.

You are to be escorted.

Basilio is given an opportunity to speak,. Yet, he remains silent and numb, looking only at the wooden floorboards beneath him

I plead guilty to the atrocities I committed. I seek no forgiveness, only for you to understand what I should have done different

My genuine regret is in involving this bright young man in my malicious deeds. You must abhor what I have become!

Do not replicate my path!

Use our deaths as a reminder... of the Indio’s strength and ability to make a change!

Simoun and Basilio are presented as traitors and endangerments to the security of the colony. The crowed jeers and curses them on stage

Simoun addresses his people one final time. The stage becomes quiet... his work was done.

The crowd watched as the two’s necks were crushed slowly. Their cries highlighted the anguish they were experiencing.

pa accomplish to

For the Indios in attendance,, they were captivated by the words of Simoun. For once in their lives, they felt a sense of unity as a people, grieving the deaths of their kabayan.

Though it was brief, a spark ignited within the hearts of these Indios, hoping for a better future.
