- [Steph] Hey handsome, what's up?
So today I went to look for
a dress for Panda's party
and I found two, I didn't
know which one to choose,
so I got them both. (laughing)
There was a cool like one that rates.
I swear you should have seen it on me,
but I know you prefer to see
me with nothing else, so.
(laughing) Anyway, I can't
wait to meet your friends.
What do you think Linda
and Angela will be wearing?
Call me back.
(answer machine beeping)
- [Rob] Hey, asshole, this
is your best friend speaking.
You're not planning on not
showing up on Friday, are you?
(answer machine beeping)
The whole city will be there.
Those losers are playing
the Venusta, the Batusta,
or whatever the fuck
they're called, I hate them,
but you're coming with me.
Otherwise I'll drag you there by force.
You're just turning into
mold in that shitty house.
(answer machine beeping)
(quiet dramatic orchestral music)
- It'll be cloudy tomorrow.
(broom swishing)
(soft tense orchestral music)
(loud intense music)
- David.
(knocking) David.
- [David] Come back later.
- David, it's me, will
you let me in, come on?
(door clicking)
- Come in.
- Oh.
- [David] Quick.
- Good lad, it's as cold
as a witch's tit out there.
- Ah, a little company
is more than welcome
this time of the day.
(door thudding)
- Boy, it's a strange world.
It's a good job there are
people like you in it,
people with a bit of heart left in you.
- Well, you're not so bad yourself,
but thanks anyway, Willy.
- Nobody's safe.
There's people like me
and you, special people,
we need to watch our backs.
- Is everything okay, my
friend? You look weird today.
- No, no, it's nothing, it's nothing,
just my big old mouth
that won't stay shut,
that's all it is.
But you know, there is one
thing I'm worried about,
not spending the day sober,
and you know what they say?
Shot of the good stuff can deal with that.
- Hm, is that what they say?
I'll follow that advice for sure.
- No, you won't!
You leave that stuff
alone, look at yourself.
You're a good looking boy,
you've got a stable job
and dozens of girls who
wanna drool all over you.
- (laughing) Yeah, right.
Old fool.
(soft melodic music)
- [Joe] We'll now talk about
one of the most fascinating
points of interest in our
city, the Texcoco Rocks.
Testimonies of these ruins
can be found in numerous eras,
rock writings and representations
that report their presence
in various Mesoamerican civilizations
date back to the pre-Columbian era.
Instead, other examples that
are more similar to ours
have elements in common
with the oldest ever found
in Southern Peru and could date back
to between 1,000 and 400 BC.
- Hey, I know that shack.
- We still to this day,
don't know what their function was.
- You see the (indistinct) old farmhouse?
(soft orchestral music)
- Absolutely breathtaking.
That's all we have for tonight's edition
of "Witherm Town News,"
thank you for joining us.
Stay tuned for more updates
and stories tomorrow
- I saw it, I saw it.
- Joe Cleveland, goodnight.
- I saw some strange things
the last time I was there.
Pour me another one.
- Hm-hm.
Spit it out, what did you find?
- I saw...
I saw some dead bodies.
(soft tense music)
- What are you talking about?
Human bodies?
- Three!
Three putrid rotten skeletons!
(soft tense music)
- That's incredible.
- I swear,
I'm telling you the truth!
(soft tense music)
- How do you get there?
- Oh no!
Oh no!
That's my favorite place to
sleep on a Sunday morning.
Hell, like I wanna see
the police arrive here,
their blue sirens and the
journalists asking me questions.
Oh no, don't you even think about it.
- Too bad, you know, I,
I thought I could drop by
one Sunday morning, perhaps
with a, with a friend of mine.

- [David] "I took a step back.
My sneakers sink into the soft ground.
The air was heavy and still.
No one made a sound.
Nothing moved.
Dead, I'm surrounded by death.
I thought.
(soft tense music)

(music player clattering)
(door clicking)
- Morning.
Excuse me, does that gamer work here?
- Sure. Please lay down on the
slab, I'll be right with you.
- Why don't you answer the phone?
- Because I have a job.
- Don't change the subject. I
know you heard the messages.
- To be honest, Rob, I'm not convinced.
- Listen,
I get it, if you don't want to come,
but at least answer your phone.
I thought you would've
gotten over her by now.
(Rob sighing)
Linda's plane landed this morning.
Nine o'clock at my place,
we're all gonna be there.
If you wanna show your face.
(background people chattering)
(door thudding)
(soft tense music)
(soft tense music continues)
- David.
(David gasps)
Jesus!
(drawer thudding)
Your hands are cold.
- Gosh, you're so delicate.
- If you keep sneaking in like
that, I'll take back my keys.
- Don't even think about it, they're mine.
Are you going out?
(zipper whirring)
- Ah, yeah.
I'm going to Rob's, Linda
came back from South America,
we are going to have a couple of drinks.
- Without inviting me?
- I'm inviting you now
if you want to come.
- Okay, but why such a hurry?
- We are late. They're all waiting for us.
- Seriously?
- Please, Steph, not now.
- We've been putting off
this appointment for a week.
Maybe I should seek
attention from another lover.
- Who knows? Maybe you should.
Tonight, when we get back,
I promise,
that I'll dedicate myself
completely to your pleasure.
- Hm, promise?
- I promise.
- Okay,
- Wait for me in the kitchen.
I'll grab my things and we can go.
- Okay.
(gentle tense music)
I don't have to tell you I don't mind
- And out of nowhere, we
found those seven (indistinct)
of the Amazon Forest fighting
again in the covered terrain
with a boat that refused
to start up again.
- And then what happened?
I don't have to tell you I don't mind
- And then a tribe of tribal natives
kidnapped and sacrificed us to the God
by eating our flesh
and drinking our blood.
- Really?
- Really.
(Rob laughing)
(Linda laughing)
- No, you asshole!
- Don't worry, Angie, I went
back to study the local tribes.
- But I hear a lot of
stories about those places.
- Yeah, and your mother
was in an Anita Roth movie.
- In fact, I saw a lot
of strange things there.
- Anyway, Panda's having
a party on Friday.
Do you wanna come?
- Oh, is David coming too?
- You can ask him yourself.
He's here with his new friend.
- She's a lot more than that.
- His new what?
That I'm feeling, I'm feeling
(soft tense music)
(door clicking)
- Hey guys.
(melodic orchestral music)
(train rumbling)
(lighter clicking)
(cicadas chirping)
(lighter clicking)
- Can I have one?
(lighter clicking)
You look good.
- Yeah, I'm okay.
You look great too, you've lost weight.
- I can never get used
to eating french fries.
- No kidding.
- Stephanie's nice.
- Yeah, she's great.
We are together.
She respects my space and I respect hers.
- That's just what you need.
A girl who could puts up with everything
and just stays in her place.
- Exactly.
And you?
Did you make any overseas friends?
- I had to study a lot.
I don't think that's any of your business.
- Things going well at work.
I have a few new suppliers.
Customers are happy and it pays better.
- Oh, how exciting.
- Do you see what your problem is?
You don't respect others.
You should try to understand
that not everyone is ready
to abandon everything and everyone.
- I didn't abandon everyone.
I asked you to come with me.
- To do what, hm?
You had your goals and I
had my responsibilities.
What was I supposed to do?
- Come with me.
You could have come with me.
- Hey, guys, come on, it's game time.
(boxes thudding)
Please.
Come on, it'll be fun.
- What games do you have?
- Well, there's Super Quiz.
- Uh-uh!
- The Lost Temple.
- Hm!
- Will you give it a rest?
- (laughs) We've played
it at least 100 times.
- And so do you have a better idea?
- Well, I've never played it.
- Exactly.
- Guys,
I have another idea.
Did you hear about those bodies
found in the old farmhouse on the hill?
- No.
- Of course you didn't,
you don't even know what
day of the week it is.
Of course I heard about it,
everybody's talking about it.
- [Steph] Even my mum was
talking about it this morning.
- I was the one who found them.
- No shit?
- Really?
- Well, not by chance, Willy told me.
At the beginning, I
didn't take him seriously.
- Why didn't you tell me?
- I'm telling you now.
I was taking my usual walk with Lana,
when I approached that old farmhouse
that Willy told me about.
As soon as I entered,
my blood froze.
(soft ominous music)
(camera clicking)
It didn't have a head.
- David, that's real crazy shit.
(gentle tense music)
- And are you okay now?
- Yeah, I'm fine.
- I really don't understand why
you didn't tell me about it.
- Really?
I mean, you following the
advice of an old drunk tramp,
found yourself on the set of "Evil Dead"
and it didn't occur to you
to tell your best friend about it?
I hope you're joking.
- Do I look like somebody who's joking?
(soft tense music)
- What's that?
- I found them there among some
candles and strange things.
- And you took them, are you crazy?
If the police find out-
- I don't see how the
police could find out.
The case has already been closed
as an attack by a large animal.
(gentle orchestral music)
- [Rob] Come on, Linda,
let me take a look.
- This stuff is very old.
I've seen this symbology before.
- [Angela] Really?
- [David] You never learn.
- No, no, wait, I'm not joking this time.
There are many affinities with Mayan,
that I've studied in the last few months.
There are also traces of
more recent translations.
Somebody has already
worked on this manuscript.
- Guys,
it's a ritual.
I've read it.
Those people, dead bodies,
they were performing a ritual
when they were attacked.
- Wow.
- How do you know?
- You don't believe all this, do you?
Those people were attacked
by a bear or something.
Guys, pieces of paper
don't kill people, okay.
(gentle tense music)
- The candles, the symbols,
it's all written in there.
- Seriously? Come on, guys.
- [Angela] We shouldn't
joke about these things.
You should give them to the police.
- No chance.
(gentle tense music)
- What do you think?
Shall we do it?
- Do you listen to me when I speak?
- [Steph] I can't believe this.
- You bet. How does it work?
- Well, we need some candles,
some chalk and a small sack.
- This is ridiculous.
- Thank God there's somebody sane here.
- Come on, Linda,
I expected you to be a
little more courageous.
- Don't try your mind games on
me, you're wasting your time.
I'm not scared at all.
So what happens then?
- Then we all have to repeat
a kind of formula together
and offer a part of yourself.
Everything will open.
"Don't disturb the Man in the Fields
or a plague will come upon the Earth."
- [Rob] That's creepy.
- Well, that all seems clear.
- That's a terrible idea.
That's proof of a crime.
You could be arrested
for doing what you did.
- Don't worry, Angie, here it says,
"Fortune, glory, and prosperity."
Please don't scare me.
- You're a couple of idiots.
- Well, it's decided.
I'll go get everything.
- [Angela] Please, Rob.
- Ah, I forgot.
We can't do it here.
It says that you need a house
with a large field in front of it.
- Maybe I just know the place.

(gentle tense music)
(soft tense orchestral music)
- Once the words are said seven times,
everything in the house will open.
The ritual will end when
everything that has opened
is once again closed.
(gentle tense music)
- What? It doesn't seem to be-
- Ssh!
Let's start.
- Oh wait.
There's another warning.
It's more writing, I
didn't notice it before.
"The curse will end
when only one is left alive."
(gentle tense music)
- Are we going to start?
- Who will scare the crows away?
- Who will scare the crows away?
- Who will scare the crows away?
- Who will scare the crows away?
- Who will scare the crows away?
- Who will scare the crows away?
- Who will scare the crows away?

(soft tense music)
- Guys.
(Linda gasping)
(soft tense orchestral music)
- This isn't fun anymore.
Let's go.
- [Rob] Ah, just one of the
bums that were up there.
- No, he wasn't here before.
- Linda, stop it, you're scaring me.
(soft tense orchestral music)
- What are you doing?
- Don't worry, I'll get him to leave.
- No, David, let's go.
- Hey!
Get out of here!
This is private property!
(soft tense music)
I'm not kidding.
You can't stay here.
Hey.
Hey.
(loud eerie music)
Oh!

- [Radio DJ] Rush hour traffic,
don't you just love it?
- [Reporter] Traffic is backed right up.
There's an accident on the freeway
that hasn't been cleared away yet
and everyone is stopping to look at it.
- [Commentator] So Wake is at
the first pitch ground ball.
The third over the second
in time and on the first.
Hey, double play!
There's the rally and the
headache, three hits, one run,
no men left on base, after
three, we're tied at two.
More baseball after these messages.
- [Newsreader] The body
of Stephanie Sierra,
a 22-year-old student
was found this morning
in the hills north of the city.
Her brutally-mangled body suggests
she was attacked by a large animal.
According to the investigators,
the girl was in the company
of her boyfriend who is currently missing.
What makes this story even
stranger is that the police
discovered three bodies a few days ago
who seemed to have
suffered the same attack
and it was in fact, David Russell,
Stephanie Sierra's 25-year-old boyfriend,
who disappeared last night
who informed the authorities.
- Dead, found them this morning.
We need to get the goddamn
monster that did this, shit.
(car door clicking)
(cellphone buzzing)
- [Angela] Linda, answer me.
Something terrible has happened. (sobbing)
- Angela.
- [Angela] Stephanie is
dead. David's disappeared.
They're talking about it on the TV.
What's going on?
- Angela.
(Angela sobbing)
Angela, calm down.
You call round here.
- [Angela] Rob's here with me.
I-I came to him as soon as I heard.
- Good.
Hey, stay there.
Try not to leave the house for
any reason. I'll come to you.
- [Angela] Okay.
(Linda sobbing)
- And that's everything.
- So David is dead too?
- If David was there, yeah.
- And it's all real, the ritual.
The wind that blew everything
open. The magic formulas.
- All true enough.
I would say so,
but I am crazy to think it.
- No, it can't be real.
- Are you calling me a liar?
Why would I joke about
something like this?
Stephanie's dead
and David, our David,
transformed into a monster.
- Stop it!
Please, stop.
- Angela's right.
Two of our friends are dead.
And if we don't do something,
if we don't stick together,
we'll be next.
We have to end it.
- But David didn't die, right?
If we finish the ritual,
he might come back to us.
- I looked
into that thing's eyes, Rob.
(solemn orchestral music)
There's nothing left
of David in there.
(solemn orchestral music)
- We have to go back there.
- You're right, we have
to finish what we started
and clean up this mess
before it's too late.
- Angela,
you don't have to come if
you don't feel like it.
Me and Rob will go.
- She's right, you should stay here.
We won't be long.
- Sorry, guys.
I can't do it.
(solemn orchestral music)
- We will close everything in the ritual.
- Yeah, but what about the police?
Stephanie's dead and David's missing.
They'll wanna question us sooner or later.
- The police really are
the least of our problems.

I'm not going to stay here
waiting for him to come and get me

go back to that place alone,
hiding in the house like a baby.
(car engine starting)
(soft ominous music)
(birds chirping)
(soft orchestral music)
- All clear.
(gentle tense music)
- First of all, we need to get the pages.
- [Rob] Right, I'll get the pages.
You and Angie go upstairs,
start locking everything
up, okay, let's go.

- [Jonathan] Did I not
just save your lives?
- Which sort of person
comes out of nowhere
holding a shotgun and forces
two strangers into his car?
- [Jonathan] You're welcome, sweetheart.
(gentle tense music)
- Who the fuck are you?
And where the fuck are we going?
- Calm down, boy. We're
going somewhere safe.
Anyway, my name is Jonathan.
- How did you know we were there?
- I didn't know.
I didn't come for you.
- So who did you come for?
(soft tense music)
(car door clicking)
(soft tense music)
So this is where David found them.

- Xipe Totec,
Our Lord the Flayed,
that is his name.
Some legends refer to an agreement
signed between the First Men
and this dark deity to
benefit from the earth,
a sinister pact to be paid with blood.
According to myth, Xipe
Totec was beautiful,
the God of agriculture and spring.
But his blood lust and contempt
for mankind were too great.
So he deceived one of the First Men,
the greatest of them.
(gentle solemn music)
I think you met him that night,
The Man in the Fields.
(soft orchestral music)
Through him, he bound
his power to these pages
in exchange for centuries and centuries
of human sacrifice and famine. (sighing)
He is an evil from the ancient world,
the purest evil, the original evil.
He's not from this world.
He has been sowing discord and death
since before men built the first cities
and you,
stupid kids,
you don't know what you have awakened,
nor what he's capable of doing!
You gave him a part of you
and now he will hunt you down
until only one of you is left alive.
(gentle solemn music)
Who was cursed?
Who transformed?
- David.
A friend of ours.
- Poor guy.
- How do you know all this?
- Right where we are now,
a long time ago,
that monster, that abominable creature
killed and slaughtered my entire family.
They were horrible people, sure.
Let's say that Xipe Totec
was not the only monster here that night.
But...
She was innocent.
Since that day, all I wanted to know
was who my enemy was.
In my heart,
there was only anger and pain.
All I could think about was revenge.
- What do we do now?
(gentle solemn music)
- Now,
you need to rest.
Tomorrow at the first light of dawn,
we'll finish the ritual.
I'll be on watch all night.
Take this to protect yourself.
When we're gonna be out there with him,
everyone will have to
look out for themselves.
Do you know how to use it?
It's very simple.
This is the safety, never take it off.
The magazine is already full.
All you have to do is pull the trigger.
Unfortunately, it will
be of little use to you,
but it will be enough to slow him down.
(door clicking)
(door thudding)
- Rob.
Can we each tell how we feel?
Please,
talk to me.
Don't leave me alone. (sobbing)
(gentle solemn music)
I'm so sorry.
- That's not enough.
Your sorry won't bring her back to life.
(gentle solemn music)
- What's happened to us
is terrible, Rob, I know,
but we have to be strong.
(gentle solemn music)
Because I lost David too.
- David.
You lost David a year ago, Linda!
You decided to lose David!
And he was taken from me.
Now I am alone, I am alone
like I've never been before!
(gentle solemn music)
I just want you to shut
up and leave me alone.
Can you do that for me, Linda?
Can you do that for me?
- [Jonathan] You, grab your ax
and come and chop some wood.
(cicadas chirping)
- Hey.
Good to see you.
I'm sorry about earlier.
- No, you don't have to
apologize, not anymore.
- I shouldn't have been so hard on you.
- Well,
where is Jonathan?
(soft intense music)
(blow thudding)
Uh!
(loud ominous music)
(soft tense music)
(Linda groaning softly)
- Just stay put.
- God.
Why?
- Why?
- Why are you doing this?
- Why?
Because Angela didn't have to die!
You should have died!
You were in the damn wardrobe!
It should have, it shouldn't
have turned out like this.
She should have run away.
She ran away and came
back just to save you!
Your life is worth no more than hers
and it's definitely
worth no more than mine!
(Linda groaning)
You could have stayed put.
(gentle tense music)
The curse will end when
only one is left alive.
Do you remember that, do you remember?
- Yeah, son of a bitch.
(soft ominous music)
(Linda spitting)
Uh, uh!
- We can't kill him, Linda.
We can't kill him.
And I'm not going back to that house
to finish that stupid ritual
over the remains of the girl I love!
All I want to do right now
is to go to the goddamn party
and drown in booze
while David finishes the job.
- Rob, you are not alone.
We can do this together.
We can make things right!
- There is nothing more we can do!
Do you get it, Linda?
There is nothing more we can do!
Nothing.
(Linda groaning)
And don't mention David's
name, you have no right to.
David is gone!
Angela is gone!
And now,
now, you and that asshole
that came out of nowhere
will be gone too.
(gun clicking)
"Everyone will have to
look out for themselves."
Am I right, David, huh?
(gun firing)
(gun clattering)
- Jonathan.
Jonathan.
Jonathan.
We have to get out of here.
(Linda groaning)
(soft rapid music)
Jonathan.
Jonathan, we have to get out of here.
(car engine starting)
- My car.
Damn!
Where's he to go?
- Not so far from here,
he's going to a friend's
house who's having a party.
- Then we have to go.
We have to go.

So today I went to look for
a dress for Panda's party
and I found two, I didn't
know which one to choose,
so I got them both. (laughing)
There was a cool like one that rates.
I swear you should have seen it on me,
but I know you prefer to see
me with nothing else, so.
(laughing) Anyway, I can't
wait to meet your friends.
What do you think Linda
and Angela will be wearing?
Call me back.
(answer machine beeping)
- [Rob] Hey, asshole, this
is your best friend speaking.
You're not planning on not
showing up on Friday, are you?
(answer machine beeping)
The whole city will be there.
Those losers are playing
the Venusta, the Batusta,
or whatever the fuck
they're called, I hate them,
but you're coming with me.
Otherwise I'll drag you there by force.
You're just turning into
mold in that shitty house.

(knocking) David.

- David, it's me, will
you let me in, come on?
(door clicking)
- Come in.
- Oh.
- [David] Quick.
- Good lad, it's as cold
as a witch's tit out there.
- Ah, a little company
is more than welcome
this time of the day.
(door thudding)
- Boy, it's a strange world.
It's a good job there are
people like you in it,
people with a bit of heart left in you.
- Well, you're not so bad yourself,
but thanks anyway, Willy.
- Nobody's safe.
There's people like me
and you, special people,
we need to watch our backs.
- Is everything okay, my
friend? You look weird today.
- No, no, it's nothing, it's nothing,
just my big old mouth
that won't stay shut,
that's all it is.
But you know, there is one
thing I'm worried about,
not spending the day sober,
and you know what they say?
Shot of the good stuff can deal with that.
- Hm, is that what they say?
I'll follow that advice for sure.
- No, you won't!
You leave that stuff
alone, look at yourself.
You're a good looking boy,
you've got a stable job
and dozens of girls who
wanna drool all over you.
- (laughing) Yeah, right.
Old fool.
(soft melodic music)
- [Joe] We'll now talk about
one of the most fascinating
points of interest in our
city, the Texcoco Rocks.
Testimonies of these ruins
can be found in numerous eras,
rock writings and representations
that report their presence
in various Mesoamerican civilizations
date back to the pre-Columbian era.
Instead, other examples that
are more similar to ours
have elements in common
with the oldest ever found
in Southern Peru and could date back
to between 1,000 and 400 BC.
- Hey, I know that shack.
- We still to this day,
don't know what their function was.
- You see the (indistinct) old farmhouse?
(soft orchestral music)
- Absolutely breathtaking.
That's all we have for tonight's edition
of "Witherm Town News,"
thank you for joining us.
Stay tuned for more updates
and stories tomorrow
- I saw it, I saw it.
- Joe Cleveland, goodnight.
- I saw some strange things
the last time I was there.
Pour me another one.
- Hm-hm.
Spit it out, what did you find?
- I saw...
I saw some dead bodies.
(soft tense music)
- What are you talking about?
Human bodies?
- Three!
Three putrid rotten skeletons!
(soft tense music)
- That's incredible.
- I swear,
I'm telling you the truth!
(soft tense music)
- How do you get there?
- Oh no!
Oh no!
That's my favorite place to
sleep on a Sunday morning.
Hell, like I wanna see
the police arrive here,
their blue sirens and the
journalists asking me questions.
Oh no, don't you even think about it.
- Too bad, you know, I,
I thought I could drop by
one Sunday morning, perhaps
with a, with a friend of mine.

- Morning.
Excuse me, does that gamer work here?
- Sure. Please lay down on the

- Why don't you answer the phone?
- Because I have a job.
- Don't change the subject. I
know you heard the messages.
- To be honest, Rob, I'm not convinced.
- Listen,
I get it, if you don't want to come,
but at least answer your phone.
I thought you would've
gotten over her by now.
(Rob sighing)
Linda's plane landed this morning.
Nine o'clock at my place,
we're all gonna be there.
If you wanna show your face.

(David gasps)
Jesus!

Your hands are cold.
- Gosh, you're so delicate.
- If you keep sneaking in like
that, I'll take back my keys.
- Don't even think about it, they're mine.
Are you going out?
(zipper whirring)
- Ah, yeah.
I'm going to Rob's, Linda
came back from South America,
we are going to have a couple of drinks.
- Without inviting me?
- I'm inviting you now
if you want to come.
- Okay, but why such a hurry?
- We are late. They're all waiting for us.
- Seriously?
- Please, Steph, not now.
- We've been putting off
this appointment for a week.
Maybe I should seek
attention from another lover.
- Who knows? Maybe you should.
Tonight, when we get back,
I promise,
that I'll dedicate myself
completely to your pleasure.
- Hm, promise?
- I promise.
- Okay,
- Wait for me in the kitchen.
I'll grab my things and we can go.
- Okay.
(gentle tense music)
I don't have to tell you I don't mind
- And out of nowhere, we
found those seven (indistinct)
of the Amazon Forest fighting
again in the covered terrain
with a boat that refused
to start up again.
- And then what happened?
I don't have to tell you I don't mind
- And then a tribe of tribal natives
kidnapped and sacrificed us to the God
by eating our flesh
and drinking our blood.
- Really?
- Really.
(Rob laughing)
(Linda laughing)
- No, you asshole!
- Don't worry, Angie, I went
back to study the local tribes.
- But I hear a lot of
stories about those places.
- Yeah, and your mother
was in an Anita Roth movie.
- In fact, I saw a lot
of strange things there.
- Anyway, Panda's having
a party on Friday.
Do you wanna come?
- Oh, is David coming too?
- You can ask him yourself.
He's here with his new friend.
- She's a lot more than that.
- His new what?
That I'm feeling, I'm feeling

- Yeah, I'm okay.
You look great too, you've lost weight.
- I can never get used
to eating french fries.
- No kidding.
- Stephanie's nice.
- Yeah, she's great.
We are together.
She respects my space and I respect hers.
- That's just what you need.
A girl who could puts up with everything
and just stays in her place.
- Exactly.
And you?
Did you make any overseas friends?
- I had to study a lot.
I don't think that's any of your business.
- Things going well at work.
I have a few new suppliers.
Customers are happy and it pays better.
- Oh, how exciting.
- Do you see what your problem is?
You don't respect others.
You should try to understand
that not everyone is ready
to abandon everything and everyone.
- I didn't abandon everyone.
I asked you to come with me.
- To do what, hm?
You had your goals and I
had my responsibilities.
What was I supposed to do?
- Come with me.
You could have come with me.
- Hey, guys, come on, it's game time.
(boxes thudding)
Please.
Come on, it'll be fun.
- What games do you have?
- Well, there's Super Quiz.
- Uh-uh!
- The Lost Temple.
- Hm!
- Will you give it a rest?
- (laughs) We've played
it at least 100 times.
- And so do you have a better idea?
- Well, I've never played it.
- Exactly.
- Guys,
I have another idea.
Did you hear about those bodies
found in the old farmhouse on the hill?
- No.
- Of course you didn't,
you don't even know what
day of the week it is.
Of course I heard about it,
everybody's talking about it.
- [Steph] Even my mum was
talking about it this morning.
- I was the one who found them.
- No shit?
- Really?
- Well, not by chance, Willy told me.
At the beginning, I
didn't take him seriously.
- Why didn't you tell me?
- I'm telling you now.
I was taking my usual walk with Lana,
when I approached that old farmhouse
that Willy told me about.
As soon as I entered,
my blood froze.
(soft ominous music)
(camera clicking)
It didn't have a head.
- David, that's real crazy shit.
(gentle tense music)
- And are you okay now?
- Yeah, I'm fine.
- I really don't understand why
you didn't tell me about it.
- Really?
I mean, you following the
advice of an old drunk tramp,
found yourself on the set of "Evil Dead"
and it didn't occur to you
to tell your best friend about it?
I hope you're joking.
- Do I look like somebody who's joking?
(soft tense music)
- What's that?
- I found them there among some
candles and strange things.
- And you took them, are you crazy?
If the police find out-
- I don't see how the
police could find out.
The case has already been closed
as an attack by a large animal.
(gentle orchestral music)
- [Rob] Come on, Linda,
let me take a look.
- This stuff is very old.
I've seen this symbology before.
- [Angela] Really?
- [David] You never learn.
- No, no, wait, I'm not joking this time.
There are many affinities with Mayan,
that I've studied in the last few months.
There are also traces of
more recent translations.
Somebody has already
worked on this manuscript.
- Guys,
it's a ritual.
I've read it.
Those people, dead bodies,
they were performing a ritual
when they were attacked.
- Wow.
- How do you know?
- You don't believe all this, do you?
Those people were attacked
by a bear or something.
Guys, pieces of paper
don't kill people, okay.
(gentle tense music)
- The candles, the symbols,
it's all written in there.
- Seriously? Come on, guys.
- [Angela] We shouldn't
joke about these things.
You should give them to the police.
- No chance.
(gentle tense music)
- What do you think?
Shall we do it?
- Do you listen to me when I speak?
- [Steph] I can't believe this.
- You bet. How does it work?
- Well, we need some candles,
some chalk and a small sack.
- This is ridiculous.
- Thank God there's somebody sane here.
- Come on, Linda,
I expected you to be a
little more courageous.
- Don't try your mind games on
me, you're wasting your time.
I'm not scared at all.
So what happens then?
- Then we all have to repeat
a kind of formula together
and offer a part of yourself.
Everything will open.
"Don't disturb the Man in the Fields
or a plague will come upon the Earth."
- [Rob] That's creepy.
- Well, that all seems clear.
- That's a terrible idea.
That's proof of a crime.
You could be arrested
for doing what you did.
- Don't worry, Angie, here it says,
"Fortune, glory, and prosperity."
Please don't scare me.
- You're a couple of idiots.
- Well, it's decided.
I'll go get everything.
- [Angela] Please, Rob.
- Ah, I forgot.
We can't do it here.
It says that you need a house
with a large field in front of it.
- Maybe I just know the place.

everything in the house will open.
The ritual will end when
everything that has opened
is once again closed.
(gentle tense music)
- What? It doesn't seem to be-
- Ssh!
Let's start.
- Oh wait.
There's another warning.
It's more writing, I
didn't notice it before.
"The curse will end
when only one is left alive."
(gentle tense music)
- Are we going to start?
- Who will scare the crows away?
- Who will scare the crows away?

bums that were up there.
- No, he wasn't here before.
- Linda, stop it, you're scaring me.

- [Radio DJ] Rush hour traffic,
don't you just love it?
- [Reporter] Traffic is backed right up.
There's an accident on the freeway
that hasn't been cleared away yet
and everyone is stopping to look at it.
- [Commentator] So Wake is at
the first pitch ground ball.
The third over the second
in time and on the first.
Hey, double play!
There's the rally and the
headache, three hits, one run,
no men left on base, after
three, we're tied at two.
More baseball after these messages.
- [Newsreader] The body
of Stephanie Sierra,
a 22-year-old student
was found this morning
in the hills north of the city.
Her brutally-mangled body suggests
she was attacked by a large animal.
According to the investigators,
the girl was in the company
of her boyfriend who is currently missing.
What makes this story even
stranger is that the police
discovered three bodies a few days ago
who seemed to have
suffered the same attack
and it was in fact, David Russell,
Stephanie Sierra's 25-year-old boyfriend,
who disappeared last night
who informed the authorities.
- Dead, found them this morning.
We need to get the goddamn
monster that did this, shit.
(car door clicking)
(cellphone buzzing)
- [Angela] Linda, answer me.
Something terrible has happened. (sobbing)
- Angela.
- [Angela] Stephanie is
dead. David's disappeared.
They're talking about it on the TV.
What's going on?
- Angela.
(Angela sobbing)
Angela, calm down.
You call round here.
- [Angela] Rob's here with me.
I-I came to him as soon as I heard.
- Good.
Hey, stay there.
Try not to leave the house for
any reason. I'll come to you.
- [Angela] Okay.
(Linda sobbing)
- And that's everything.
- So David is dead too?
- If David was there, yeah.
- And it's all real, the ritual.
The wind that blew everything
open. The magic formulas.
- All true enough.
I would say so,
but I am crazy to think it.
- No, it can't be real.
- Are you calling me a liar?
Why would I joke about
something like this?
Stephanie's dead
and David, our David,
transformed into a monster.
- Stop it!
Please, stop.
- Angela's right.
Two of our friends are dead.
And if we don't do something,
if we don't stick together,
we'll be next.
We have to end it.
- But David didn't die, right?
If we finish the ritual,
he might come back to us.
- I looked
into that thing's eyes, Rob.
(solemn orchestral music)
There's nothing left
of David in there.
(solemn orchestral music)
- We have to go back there.
- You're right, we have
to finish what we started
and clean up this mess
before it's too late.
- Angela,
you don't have to come if
you don't feel like it.
Me and Rob will go.
- She's right, you should stay here.
We won't be long.
- Sorry, guys.
I can't do it.
(solemn orchestral music)
- We will close everything in the ritual.
- Yeah, but what about the police?
Stephanie's dead and David's missing.
They'll wanna question us sooner or later.
- The police really are
the least of our problems.

just save your lives?
- Which sort of person
comes out of nowhere
holding a shotgun and forces
two strangers into his car?
- [Jonathan] You're welcome, sweetheart.
(gentle tense music)
- Who the fuck are you?
And where the fuck are we going?
- Calm down, boy. We're
going somewhere safe.
Anyway, my name is Jonathan.
- How did you know we were there?
- I didn't know.
I didn't come for you.
- So who did you come for?
(soft tense music)

- Xipe Totec,
Our Lord the Flayed,
that is his name.
Some legends refer to an agreement
signed between the First Men
and this dark deity to
benefit from the earth,
a sinister pact to be paid with blood.
According to myth, Xipe
Totec was beautiful,
the God of agriculture and spring.
But his blood lust and contempt
for mankind were too great.
So he deceived one of the First Men,
the greatest of them.
(gentle solemn music)
I think you met him that night,
The Man in the Fields.
(soft orchestral music)
Through him, he bound
his power to these pages
in exchange for centuries and centuries
of human sacrifice and famine. (sighing)
He is an evil from the ancient world,
the purest evil, the original evil.
He's not from this world.
He has been sowing discord and death
since before men built the first cities
and you,
stupid kids,
you don't know what you have awakened,
nor what he's capable of doing!
You gave him a part of you
and now he will hunt you down
until only one of you is left alive.
(gentle solemn music)
Who was cursed?
Who transformed?
- David.
A friend of ours.
- Poor guy.
- How do you know all this?
- Right where we are now,
a long time ago,
that monster, that abominable creature
killed and slaughtered my entire family.
They were horrible people, sure.
Let's say that Xipe Totec
was not the only monster here that night.
But...
She was innocent.
Since that day, all I wanted to know
was who my enemy was.
In my heart,
there was only anger and pain.
All I could think about was revenge.
- What do we do now?
(gentle solemn music)
- Now,
you need to rest.
Tomorrow at the first light of dawn,
we'll finish the ritual.
I'll be on watch all night.
Take this to protect yourself.
When we're gonna be out there with him,
everyone will have to
look out for themselves.
Do you know how to use it?
It's very simple.
This is the safety, never take it off.
The magazine is already full.
All you have to do is pull the trigger.
Unfortunately, it will
be of little use to you,
but it will be enough to slow him down.
(door clicking)
(door thudding)
- Rob.
Can we each tell how we feel?
Please,
talk to me.
Don't leave me alone. (sobbing)
(gentle solemn music)
I'm so sorry.
- That's not enough.
Your sorry won't bring her back to life.
(gentle solemn music)
- What's happened to us
is terrible, Rob, I know,
but we have to be strong.
(gentle solemn music)
Because I lost David too.
- David.
You lost David a year ago, Linda!
You decided to lose David!
And he was taken from me.
Now I am alone, I am alone
like I've never been before!
(gentle solemn music)
I just want you to shut
up and leave me alone.
Can you do that for me, Linda?
Can you do that for me?
- [Jonathan] You, grab your ax
and come and chop some wood.
(cicadas chirping)
- Hey.
Good to see you.
I'm sorry about earlier.
- No, you don't have to
apologize, not anymore.
- I shouldn't have been so hard on you.
- Well,
where is Jonathan?
(soft intense music)
(blow thudding)
Uh!
(loud ominous music)
(soft tense music)
(Linda groaning softly)
- Just stay put.
- God.
Why?
- Why?
- Why are you doing this?
- Why?
Because Angela didn't have to die!
You should have died!
You were in the damn wardrobe!
It should have, it shouldn't
have turned out like this.
She should have run away.
She ran away and came
back just to save you!
Your life is worth no more than hers
and it's definitely
worth no more than mine!
(Linda groaning)
You could have stayed put.
(gentle tense music)
The curse will end when
only one is left alive.
Do you remember that, do you remember?
- Yeah, son of a bitch.
(soft ominous music)
(Linda spitting)
Uh, uh!
- We can't kill him, Linda.
We can't kill him.
And I'm not going back to that house
to finish that stupid ritual
over the remains of the girl I love!
All I want to do right now
is to go to the goddamn party
and drown in booze
while David finishes the job.
- Rob, you are not alone.
We can do this together.
We can make things right!
- There is nothing more we can do!
Do you get it, Linda?
There is nothing more we can do!
Nothing.
(Linda groaning)
And don't mention David's
name, you have no right to.
David is gone!
Angela is gone!
And now,
now, you and that asshole
that came out of nowhere
will be gone too.
(gun clicking)
"Everyone will have to
look out for themselves."
Am I right, David, huh?
(gun firing)
(gun clattering)
- Jonathan.
Jonathan.
Jonathan.
We have to get out of here.
(Linda groaning)
(soft rapid music)
Jonathan.
Jonathan, we have to get out of here.
(car engine starting)
- My car.
Damn!
Where's he to go?
- Not so far from here,
he's going to a friend's
house who's having a party.
- Then we have to go.
We have to go.
