The building was planned to begin construction with the cornerstone to be laid in a ceremony during San Diego's town fiesta. It is then discovered that a crocodile had been lurking on the fish pens owned by the Ibarras. Elias, the boat's pilot, jumps into the water with a bolo knife drawn. Sensing Elias is in danger, Ibarra jumps in as well, and they subdue the animal together. The ceremony involved the massive stone being lowered into a trench by a wooden derrick. As he prepares to do so, however, the derrick fails and the stone falls into the trench, bringing the derrick down with it in a mighty crash.

In his place beneath the stone is the would-be assassin.

Elias tells him about a revolutionary group , poised for open, violent clash with the government. This group has reached out to Elias in a bid for him to join them in their imminent uprising. In their conversation Elias narrates his family's history, how his grandfather in his youth worked as a bookkeeper in a Manila office but was accused of arson by the Spaniard owner when the office burned down.

He was prosecuted and upon release was shunned by the community as a dangerous lawbreaker. His wife turned to prostitution to support the family but eventually they were driven into the hinterlands.

The authorities know of the uprising and are prepared to spring a trap on the rebels. Elias obliges, but comes across a name familiar to him: Elias tells him Eibarramendia was the same Spaniard who accused his grandfather of arson, and was thus the author of the misfortunes of Elias and his family. The uprising follows through, and many of the rebels are either captured or killed.

The following morning the instigators are found dead. Elias, meanwhile, sneaks back into the Ibarra mansion during the night and sorts through documents and valuables, then burns down the house. Now, the old officer tells her, she can live a life of peace. They slip unnoticed through the Estero de Binondo and into the Pasig River. Elias declines, stating that his fate is with the country he wishes to see reformed and liberated.

Elias tries to reason with him, but sentries catch up with them at the mouth of the Pasig River and pursue them across Laguna de Bay. Elias is shot several times. The following day news of the chase were in the newspapers. A few nights later in the forest of the Ibarras, a boy pursues his mother through the darkness. The woman went insane with the constant beating of her husband and the loss of her other son, an altar boy, in the hands of Padre Salvi. Basilio, the boy, catches up with Sisa, his mother, inside the Ibarra mausoleum in the middle of the forest, but the strain had already been too great for Sisa.

She dies in Basilio's embrace. Basilio weeps for his mother, but then looks up to see Elias staring at them. Elias was dying himself, having lost a lot of blood and having had no food or nourishment for several days as he made his way to the mausoleum. He instructs Basilio to burn their bodies and if no one comes, to dig inside the mausoleum. He will find treasure, which he is to use for his own education. As Basilio leaves to fetch the wood, Elias sinks to the ground and says that he will die without seeing the dawn of freedom for his people, and that those who see it must welcome it and not forget them that died in the darkness.

Distraught, he is found dead a day later. Capitan Tiago fell into depression and became addicted to opium and is forgotten by the town. Padre Salvi, meanwhile, waits to be made a bishop. The next day, a representative of the authorities visited the convent to investigate last night's events and asked to inspect all the nuns.

One of the nuns had a wet and torn gown and with tears told the representative of "tales of horror" and begged for "protection against the outrages of hypocrisy" which gives the implication that Padre Salvi regularly rapes her when he is present. The abbess however, said that she was nothing more than a madwoman. Rizal finished the novel in December At first, according to one of Rizal's biographers, Rizal feared the novel might not be printed, and that it would remain unread. He was struggling with financial constraints at the time and thought it would be hard to pursue printing the novel.

The printing was finished earlier than the estimated five months.

A writer well-acquainted with translating other Hispanophone literary works, Augenbraum proposed to translate the novel after being asked for his next assignment in the publishing company. Intrigued by the novel and knowing more about it, Penguin nixed their plan of adapting existing English versions and instead translated it on their own. This novel and its sequel, El filibusterismo nicknamed El fili , were banned by Spanish authorities in the Philippines because of their allegations of corruption and abuse by the colonial government and the Catholic Church.

Copies of the book were nevertheless smuggled in and hidden, and when Rizal returned to the Philippines after completing medical studies, he quickly ran afoul of the local government. After a discussion, Terrero was appeased but still unable to offer resistance to pressure from the Church against the book.
