...said they wouldn't work there

a day longer.

- They brought the tale of the demon bull.

- Has Miraflores been attacked also?

Cattle had been found dead

in various areas of the ranch.

They hadn't been rounded up yet this year.

And for miles around, cowboys came upon

one dead steer after another.

One of them had heard the tale

of the demon bull of the Maricopa.

Now, gentlemen, I do not believe it, but it is

as good an explanation as any other one.

Well, I'd like to think that our research

up here might be of some help.

As do I, but this is no time to begin.

I know you're exhausted

from your journey and listening to me.

Tonight you'll stay here, and maybe in the

morning, things won't seem so mysterious.

Indeed, I hope so.

Here we are isolated,

almost cut off from civilization...

...having lost family or friends

to something absolutely unknown.

We could be in another world.

- Good night, Father.

- Good night.

Thank you for everything, Father.

- We really appreciate it.

- That's all right.

See you later this afternoon.

Dr. Ramos, Dr. Scott...

...I will ask you one more time

not to begin this unnecessary expedition.

Major Cosio, we have answered

all your questions.

- I don't see how we can be of any service.

- No, I don't require you for my work here.

I only know that if you start for that crater

and find yourself in any difficulties...

...men who are much more badly needed

here will have to go find you.

I'm sorry.

So that's why you must come back safely,

and before sundown...

...with all the answers

to your questions and mine.

Now you've got me.

What do you say, doc? Shall we try

around over that side, or over here?

Neither one of them looks

exactly like a Pan-American highway.

Everyone's always said that

the best fissures are on the eastern slope.

You can see the lava there.

Maybe we can get close enough to get

some pictures and plan our best approach.

You see a trail up around those rocks?

I don't know about that, but I've found

something a lot more interesting.

- So?

- So?

S, s, seor. Here, have a look.

It'll do you more good

than that bottled water.

Ah, yes. Now I see him.

Doc, you haven't got that thing in focus.

They're focused...

...and it's a handsome horse,

and I'd like to get started.

Horse?

There was a girl on that horse!

Come on, we've gotta get started

and find her.

Now, don't move too much.

I said don't move.

We've got to find out if you're all right first.

Oh, I'm all right, really.

Except I could have been more graceful

if I'd known spectators were around.

- Don't worry about that.

- Gently, now.

No broken bones, seorita? No sharp pains?
