Basilio wakes up early to attend to his patients and handle his university licensure. He plans to borrow money from Makaraig due to his expenses for Julie's redemption and his family's housing. While walking, he notices the strange, fearful behavior of students. At San Juan de Dios, a professor warns him to destroy any incriminating documents, suggesting a serious event has occurred.
Basilio learns that revolutionary posters containing threats have been found at the university, implicating student associations. Despite his apprehension, he goes to the university, where he sees Isagani angrily encouraging students to face the situation with courage and not to retreat, emphasizing that their conviction is more important than who wrote the posters.
Basilio decides to leave and go to Makaraig's house to settle his debt. Upon arrival, he and Makaraig are arrested by guards because Basilio's name is on a list of students suspected of involvement with the posters. They are taken to the civil government, where Basilio confides in Makaraig about his financial needs, and Makaraig promises to help.
The major events summarized include Basilio's early morning errands and his need for money, the professor's warning to Basilio, the discovery of intimidating posters at the university, Isagani's call for bravery among his classmates, and Basilio's arrest along with Makaraig due to his alleged involvement with the posters.

The settings for this chapter include San Juan de Dios hospital, where Basilio initially visits patients; the University of Santo Tomas, where the revolutionary posters are discovered; and Makaraig's house, where Basilio is arrested and subsequently taken to the civil government.
