Hey, wait a minute.

Every cartridge has been fired.

Hello. Hello? We only found

Sergeant Vega and the baby.

I have that, professor. Right. You said

Vega's revolver had all chambers fired.

Yes. All.

- At what?

- We wish we knew too.

Thank you again. The emergency unit

will be in San Lorenzo tomorrow.

- Right.

- That's all.

We're from Mexico City. We're from Mexico

City. We're scientists. Is the mayor here?

Hernando, rest for a day or two.

Rosa, don't let him try to do too much.

Father! Father! They come.

Padre Delgado, the road is open.

- Help is here.

- From Mexico City.

At last, thank God.

Ask them in Spanish.

Welcome to San Lorenzo.

I am Father Delgado.

Arturo Ramos, of the university.

Dr. Henry Scott, from the United States.

- I'm afraid I can't introduce this one.

- Manuel Tiburcio! And the parents?

They weren't there. I think it might

be better if we discuss this inside, Father.

Dead! They were dead!

And now, Father, do you believe

there is a demon bull...

...killing us all one by one?

- Perla!

I'll take Manuel. I'll take him with me.

But I will not protect him

from the devil just by lighting candles!

Gentlemen, I know you are weary

after your journey.

Can I offer you what hospitality

the village may provide?

Thank you, Father.

That car, Father, just pushed in

as though it were paper.

And finding the sergeant with a look

of death none of us had ever seen before.

- Then this isn't the first time?

- The first Sunday after the eruption...

...various of the congregation

were not in church.

This is understandable, you realize,

travel might have been impossible.

Then the Tiburcio family

simply vanished.

The farm, as you have described,

ravished as by some giant being.

- But there were no bodies.

- None until last Thursday.

Since then, a young girl.

She was crossing the field

to spend that night...

...with cousins, was found in the morning.

Horrible.

And the Dominguez brothers, ranchers...

...were discovered in a gully with

that look of horror on their faces...

...and no blood.

It's small consolation, Father, I admit...

...but as a scientist, I know where

the effects are so similar...

...there must be a simple, logical cause.

I wonder how simple, Dr. Ramos,

or how logical.

Father, what about that story

about the demon bull?

That seems like a strange superstition.

Oh, the demon bull is a symbol of evil

among many ancient civilizations.

About two days ago, all the workmen

on the big Miraflores ranch...

...that's a huge estate on

the other side of the foothills...

...decided to leave their work

and come here to San Lorenzo.

Now, these men,

usually frightened of nothing...
