Scene 2
Terrero Summoned Rizal to Malacaang

Terrero:

Hola Seor, (While shake hand), have a sit.

Pepe:

Hola! Gracias!

Terrero:

I think you know why you are here?

Pepe:

Pardon? But is it about my book?

Terrero:

(Stand and face the window) Theres some rumors that the book Noli Me
Tangere provided not pleasant comment about the church, and also to
the government of Spain. I didnt send you here to judge you without
sufficient knowledge. Sir, I want to hear your side.

Pepe:

I will enlighten you then. The content of the book was only the truth. Thus,
this is not about the church. This is about the wrong doings of the officials
that I was pointing about. If this is not truth, then the staff abuses it.

Terrero:

The idea you presented me says the truth. I think that youre one of the
victims. But, before I give the judgment, why dont you give me a copy of
book for me to know what it deserves.

Pepe:

Si Seor Terrero. I will send you a copy. Ill go ahead. (Stand up and walk
towards the door)

Terrero:

But, if the result of the findings is not true, your punishment will take
seriously sir.

Pepe:

(Holding the door knob)I am ready for any punishment.
