"[Music playing]" "[Music playing]" "NARRATOR:" "Since the beginning of time," "Man has created a netherworld of legend, myth, and folklore." "Today, men still scour the earth for answers as a quest" "For the truth continues." "For some, exploring the unexplained" "Affords the unique challenge of seeking" "Out that which is unknown." "One of the most disturbing and compelling legends" "Is that of a strange creature that many claimed to have seen" "Or had close encounters with." "This animal was, until just recently," "Thought to be nothing more than folklore." "Coinciding with this assumption was" "Most of the scientific community," "Who dismissed the reported sightings" "And attacks as fueled by the superstitions" "Of the Latin American culture." "What is this animal that has caused so" "Much debate among scientists?" "And so much fear among the people of Puerto" "Rico, Mexico, Texas, and several other parts" "Of the United States?" "None other than the Chupacabra." "Literally translated from Spanish," "It means one who sucks blood from goats." "Beginning in the spring of 1994, the Chupacabra" "Began to attack goats and other livestock" "On this side of the border." "South Texas was the first to be hit by a wave" "Of these vicious events." "By the summer of 1996, called Verano del Mal by the locals," "Or the evil summer, the attacks had escalated" "In number and violence." "Now horses, family pets, and even humans were also being" "Attacked by the Chupacabra." "Although the attacks were witnessed by several people" "And several photographs were taken of the aftermath" "Of a Chupacabra attack, they were repeatedly labeled" "As nothing more than a hoax." "That was until January 1997." "The videotape you are watching is actual surveillance camera" "Footage taken on a cold evening on a Santa Maria, Texas farm." "This footage became one of the key components that capped" "An intensive investigation that led" "To the death of several people." "This is the true story using actual video footage shot" "By a group of intrepid students from the University" "Of the Rio Grande Valley." "These students set out on a mission" "To track down the elusive creature." "The team which is headed by cryptozoology student, Maria" "Esperanza, directed their quest to the small rural community" "Of Santa Maria in southern Texas," "The site of the most frequent and recent Chupacabra events." "Along with Esperanza were fellow students Pete Cortez and Daniel" "Webster, both of whom volunteered to document" "The events as they happen." "The group also decided to enlist the help" "Of George "Army" Armistad." "Armistad was a former Marine, personal bodyguard," "And a renowned firearms expert." "Once the team was complete, they embarked on the daunting task" "At hand." "This case, however, has a deep, personal significance" "For Esperanza." "MARIA ESPERANZA:" "It was about a year ago" "When my uncle first told me about livestock mutilations." "He said that someone..." "Or something..." "Was attacking his goats and other livestock" "Almost every night." "He said these things were occurring closer and closer" "To his home, so he was afraid." "I was too." "I suggested that he notify the local authorities." "And I set up some camera surveillance equipment." "I saw what was on those tapes." "That thing, that creature, that killed my uncle," "It is not human." "They found him in the woods a week later." "NARRATOR:" "Now, for the first time ever," "The legendary Chupacabra had been documented on videotape," "Proving its existence and catapulting" "It into the world of academia." "There were many questions to be answered... among them," "What was this creature?" "And where did it come from?" "Some very credible people believe" "That the Chupacabra was a secret government" "Genetic experiment gone wrong." "The US government admits to having a biomedical laboratory" "And Puerto Rico, but will not divulge any information" "About the range of tests that are conducted there," "Stating it as classified." "Others believe that the Chupacabra" "Is something much worse." "They believe that the creature is" "A pariah, a true symbol of evil that exists in our world." "Still others believe that the creature's" "Not even of this earth." "Many different people with many different beliefs." "However, the Esperanza expedition" "Set out to find the truth." "Here is their story." "A series of brutal animal mutilations," "And other strange occurrences, has brought the University" "Of Rio Grande Valley School of cryptozoology" "To the Texas border of Mexico... this time" "To my hometown, Santa Maria, Texas, population 800." "For the past several nights this town has been gripped by fear." "It's being terrorized by these animal mutilations." "And the carnage has everyone locking their doors at night," "Including this man, Mr. Lloyd Jackson," "Owner and chief operator of Jackson" "Cattleman Livestock Company." "Good morning, Mr. Jackson." "Good morning, Miss Esperanza." "I see you've brought a good portion of Texas militia" "With you." "But we travel light." "So Mr. Jackson, you..." "You had an animal" "Mutilation on you property?" "LLOYD JACKSON:" "Yes, ma'am, it happened some time last night." "Just as the reports have said over the last few weeks," "This is no ordinary mutilation." "This is goat has been disfigured and violated" "By a twisted mind of a creature with supernatural strength." "I would have cleaned this mess up" "By now, what with it getting so ripe," "But I was waiting on you all." "And the superstitious farmhands wouldn't" "Let me until some kind of Hispanic holy woman comes and..." "MARIA ESPERANZA:" "Curandera?" "Well, whatever... blesses the goats or something." "MARIA ESPERANZA:" "This goat looks like it's intestines" "Have been sucked right out." "FARMHAND:" "No touch it, senorita." "No." "Mr. Jackson, let's go inside." "Excuse, do not go inside." "This is the work of a Chupacabra... el Diablo." "Hold on there, Victor." "Please, do not touch that evil flesh unless blessed" "By the Curandera." "[Speaking spanish]" "Ranch hand is saying that the holy woman has arrived." "And he seems to be asking her for help." "Buena dias, Senora." "Como esta Usted?" "[Music playing]" "[Speaking spanish]" "She's asking the holy one cleanse this evil ground." "[Speaking spanish]" "Please destroy this evil demon who plants these evil seeds." "[Speaking spanish]" "She's telling the spirit to leave this place." "[Speaking spanish]" "Answer me." "Why are you here?" "I want to learn about the Chupacabra." "I will not speak of this." "MARIA ESPERANZA:" "Will you help us, please." "The answers you seek you shall find in La Cantina." "La Cantina?" "Why the cantina?" "No." "No." "[Goats bleating]" "[Speaking spanish]" "Well, I had 87 till last night." "I got 86." "You've got company." "How you all doing today?" "I had a report there's been some livestock" "Found dead out here someplace." "It's dead except for the goat got its guts sucked out of him." "Sheriff, Maria Esperanza, University of the Rio Grande" "Valley School of Cryptozoology." "Crypt... crypto what?" "Cryptozoology." "Pardon me, ma'am." "University of the Rio Grande Valley." "We spoke on the phone." "Sheriff, do you or your deputy have" "Any comment on the series of animal mutilations" "That have gone on here?" "All right, now, hold on, ma'am?" "Now do you have any more information" "About the unusual circumstances surrounding my uncle's" "Death, Charles Esperanza?" "Tell us, sheriff, what kind of animal leaves no tracks." "Um... ma'am, our investigation found that Charlies" "Esperanza had been attacked by a wild" "Animal as far as we can tell." "But I can assure you that our department is..." "Mm, hm." "Look, all I can tell you now..." "Is that you can't tell us anything." "You best settle down, ma'am." "Sheriff, my uncle was murdered here last week." "And you are... you're writing it off like an animal mutilation." "It's just..." "I'm doing the best job that I can, ma'am." "But there's a lot to this than... turn that thing off." "Don't touch my camera." "Shut it down now." "Just turn the damn thing off, would you, please?" "Don't touch... keep your hands off my equipment." "All right, that's enough." "Nice going, fellas." "You all right?" "I'm fine." "Sir, your people and your crypto" "Whatever van are drawing folks in here" "From all over Haldago and Cameron Counties." "Pretty soon some idiot down in McCallens is call a tach alert." "And every state agency in Texas is" "Going to converge on our quiet little town" "And raise all kinds of hell." "I think it's a little late for that, don't you?" "I would consider 100 livestock mutilation" "In an isolated area in a one month period of time a hell" "Raising event." "Turn that thing off now." "There's no vote." "It stops here." "What stops here, sheriff?" "The media link?" "Or is this where the conspiracy starts?" "Chupacabra." "[Screaming]" "The discovery of the Chupacabra has given cryptozoology" "Another notch to the belt." "But before we" "Pat ourselves on the back, there are many questions" "That need answers." "For example, where does a Chupacabra derive from?" "Is it mammal or reptilian?" "We have actual footage... video footage... of a Chupacabra." "We've studied it, scrutinized it, frame by frame." "And what do we see is a Chupacabra that move and reacts" "Like a primate, almost humanistic." "But the samples of DNA that we have clearly" "State that the Chupacabra is a cold blooded reptile." "[Cat screeching]" "[Gun shots]" "Hold you fire." "Well?" "Congratulations, you just scared the piss" "Out of a man-eating pussy cat." "Put your gun down, stupid." "Hector, you..." "I've got enough coverage." "Let's just get out of here." "Cort, cover them." "All right." "Where is that fricking thing?" "Oh, it's just the Curandera..." "[Roaring]" "PETE CORTEZ:" "Maria, I'm going to get this." "I'm going to get it now." "No, Pete, listen, it's not worth it." "Look, just let it go." "Nobody move him." "I think he's going to be OK." "Just let him come to on his own." "What about the sheriff?" "Oh, God." "MARIA ESPERANZA:" "Oh, oh, my god." "Oh, my god, he's dead." "MARIA ESPERANZA:" "It's everywhere." "PETE CORTEZ:" "There's an opening right here." "This is where I think he got out." "Come on." "Come on." "Are you sure?" "Be careful." "I don't see it." "All right be careful." "MARIA ESPERANZA:" "All right, Cort, you got this?" "PETE CORTEZ:" "I got it all." "Easy." "Watch out." "Where'd he go?" "I don't see anything." "This thing has more intelligence" "Than a normal animal." "Yeah, have you seen the video." "That thing almost seems to fly sometimes." "And actually, it's kind of clumsy." "I mean, its legs are too heavy for this earth's gravity." "Yeah, you put all these things together, and it's obvious." "This thing isn't of this earth." "PETE CORTEZ:" "I think..." "I think it" "Went straight ahead that way." "Webster, I want you to go to the hill" "And get some coverage over there." "Jackson, do you think you can get some more police out here?" "Hell, the police were in the barn," "Smacked and splattered all over the place." "Where do you suppose it went?" "PETE CORTEZ:" "Heck, I don't know." "But I'd just keep quiet." "That thing might be smarter than the both of us." "Hey, I think it went this way." "[Screaming]" "[Speaking spanish]" "It's OK." "It's OK." "We're going to help you." "LLOYD JACKSON:" "Take it easy, Maria." "PETE CORTEZ:" "Is she hurt bad?" "I can't tell." "Look, it's me." "It's Maria." "Look at me." "Look." "We can help you." "It's Maria." "She's got trauma to the head." "Pupils are dilated." "Beyond that, I can't tell." "We're going to help you." "Can you walk." "LLOYD JACKSON:" "Give us some help with this poor old woman." "Come inside." "Webster, help out." "You OK?" "Let's go." "You're OK." "Hold on." "PETE CORTEZ:" "What the hell is that?" "Well, any new information regarding the Loch Monster," "The Roswell incident, the infestation of crack" "Deliberately in the inner cities, and now the Chupacabra" "Is going to be veiled in secrecy by the government." "There's a lot about this animal the government is not" "Telling us." "They've not responded to any of the allegations" "That the Chupacabra was created in a lab in Puerto Rico." "PETE CORTEZ:" "You OK?" "PETE CORTEZ:" "Armistad?" "Armistad, are you OK?" "I think he's awake." "Amigo, wake up." "Amigo, wake up." "Amigo." "[Yelling]" "Yeah" "You know what I think, I think your amigo is awake." "He was... he was lying there and he thought" "He was seeing the Chupacabra." "He's a little loco." "Glad you could make it, corporal." "Where's Esperanza." "PETE CORTEZ:" "She's inside the ranch" "House helping the Curandera." "And what the hell is hanging outside your doorway?" "Hector, it smells not like rotten garbage." "I had something like that pried out of my ass in Nam." "Armistad, you're delirious." "You were never in Vietnam." "You were 10 years old." "Try not to talk and conserve your energy." "[Speaking spanish]" "Garlic salt charm given to my by some witches" "To ward off Chupacabra." "PETE CORTEZ:" "Does it work?" "Until here." "Once again, the means of extracting" "Information from the enemy surpasses" "Anything you've ever done." "PETE CORTEZ:" "Where are these witches?" "And where can we find them?" "I've seen them drink some beer in cantina." "I can take you there if you want me to." "I have seen them do things that normal people cannot do." "Such as?" "Keep away Chupacabra." "Armi, are you all right." "Finally, somebody with some dog sense." "I think that was a compliment." "Are you OK?" "We didn't mean to leave you all alone," "But I checked out you out." "And it seemed OK." "It's OK." "I'm all right." "Do you know where the Chupacabra's nest is?" "Yeah, but lociento, I would never go there." "All right, Armi, are you thinking clear enough?" "Yeah." "Do you have any ideas?" "Well, Hector, do you think you gather" "Enough men tonight, help us surround the goat pen," "Track Chupacabra." "I can get some stronger darts." "Senor, Chupacabra is very strong." "We're very lucky to be alive." "Only a loco would go look for it." "[Music playing]" "We were caught a little of guard earlier." "We didn't know what to expect." "But we've had a little experience now." "And we're going to try catch this thing." "We're here in the goat pen, hoping" "That he will come back to the same place" "That he fed on last night." "It's about 10:00 PM, so we think we got a little time," "Since he struck about 1:00." "Armi seems to have gotten a stronger dart together." "Armi, how we doing?" "I got a much stronger load this time." "I get enough tranquilizer in that dart" "To stop a heard elephants." "We'll be ready for him." "In case that doesn't work, I got my shot gun." "Basically, we're just going to hide out here in the barn," "Be ready, stay alert, and see what happens." "We've got some movement." "You got a wide shot?" "PETE CORTEZ:" "Yeah, I got the whole whole group." "OK, good work." "Did you hear that?" "Where the..." "I haven't had a welcome like that since..." "[Screaming]" "Go, go, go, go!" "MARIA ESPERANZA:" "Get the door." "Get the door, get the door." "Jesus." "Where's Armi?" "He's still out there with that thing and Jackson." "And we don't know where that thing is." "Let him in." "Where's the molester?" "Open the door." "Please, open the door." "Hurry up." "Just quick pulling on the handle." "Here, take this." "Hurry." "[Growling]" "I don't want to die here in this van." "Shut up." "You would have just watch me die out there." "Well, screw this." "This is not why I came here." "I want to leave." "You can't leave." "People are dying." "Lives are being wrecked." "We can't just pack up and leave." "You knew it was going to be dangerous when" "You signed on for this unit." "Come on." "I can't believe this." "Wait." "Where is it?" "Hold on." "Hold up." "I don't hear anything." "Well, what are we supposed to do." "Sit in here all night?" "Well, who's got the keys?" "I do." "At least I thought I did." "DANIEL WEBSTER:" "Ah, that's great." "Just great." "Look, Webster, I've had all the crap I can take from you today." "If you can't help the situation, keep your mouth shut." "[Roaring]" "I can't get a clear shot at him." "I saw him." "I saw him." "I got 'em." "I got 'em." "I got 'em." "Let's get out of here." "Come on." "Come on." "Come on." "Come on." "I have the tapes." "Excuse me." "You want the surveillance tapes, I've got 'em." "Have you seen what's one them?" "Yeah, I have." "Was my uncle killed by the Chupacabra?" "Yes, ma'am, he was." "What?" "Why the cover up?" "Because the sheriff figured it was in the best" "Interest of the general public." "I don't know." "Why?" "To keep information that could drastically change" "Science, history, genetics." "I don't believe this." "Wait." "Why are you talking about the tapes now?" "Because I think..." "I figured you should know the truth before..." "Just in case... just in case." "Now we can't do anything about it." "I got to get this thing started." "[Roaring]" "What is that?" "It's on the roof." "Jesus." "Armi, try again." "Let's get this thing started, man." "We're trapped." "I can't see him." "Wait, there he is." "Wait." "Look." "Look, there he goes." " He's heading down the hill." " Is he gone?" "Quiet." "Quiet down." "Quiet down." "Quiet down." "Look, obviously this isn't going to work." "OK, we're going to have to make a break for the ranch house." "Run." "I'll lead." "Deputy Lowe, you back us up." "Do you think you can handle that?" "I can handle it." "Let's just do it." "All right, is everybody ready?" "Are you ready?" "I said, are you ready?" "DANIEL WEBSTER:" "Fine." "Let's do it." "Let's get out of here." "Go, go, go." "Another interesting question that" "Needs an answer is early eyewitness" "Indicates that the Chupacabra was" "A small, as like a little kitten, no larger" "Than a rottweiler." "But this Chupacabra is huge, enormous." "Well, judging from the video, it" "Seems very similar to the theropods," "Which were present in the middle Triassic period." "The most famous of these was the tyrannosaurus." "The smallest was the compsognathus, which was" "Only about 2 and 1/2 feet tall." "One interesting point is that theropods" "Were very numerous in what is now known as South America." "We know that theropods walked on their hind legs." "They had large heads, very sharp teeth." "The notion that the Chupacabra could" "Be a descendant from one of these theropods" "Is an interesting one." "But the theropods disappeared by the Cretaceous period." "It's pretty difficult to give a definite answer." "But it's possible." "At least, I think so." "This isn't good." "It's going to take forever for the paramedics to get out here." "[Moaning]" "It hurts." "I know." "Just relax." "I've seen 911 take two hours to get to these parts." "Deputy, the Sheriff and I were discussing the photos" "Of my uncles crime scene." "He said I could pick them up at the coroner's office." "Would that be where I might find the tapes" "Of what happened to him." "You know, you really don't know what you're" "Dealing with here, do you?" "You know, Miss Esperanza, this is probably the biggest," "Baddest Chupacabra in the world." "No, this is the granddaddy of all Chupacabras" "From what I understand." "But you know, they don't tell me much." "No, see, the Chupacabra policy is basically" "Need to know basis only." "I mean, the boy never had a chance." "Feel so horrible and stupid." "Hector's been with me for seven years." "He just stood up at the last second." "Mr. Jackson, we were all running around It was crazy." "It was an accident." "No one is blaming you." "He used to eat his lunch every day under the old oak tree." "Mr. Jackson, what we have to concentrate on now" "Is making sure that thing doesn't hurt anyone else." "Wait, Hector told me that there's a couple of witches" "And... and they hang out over at the cantina." "Witches?" "I grew up in this town." "Everyone here is superstition." "It's... it's in our nature." "Those two girls are really weird." "But everyone around here believes" "They've got strange powers." "And, you know what?" "All my beliefs have been blown to smithereens." "I..." "I could see it." "I guess I could believe anything right now." "Well, so far we've got a couple dead goats," "A sheriff with his guts falling out," "And a ranch hand with his head blown off." "What has to happen before we decide to split this scene?" "I've been bitten." "What?" "What bit you?" "That thing." "The Chupacabra?" "Yeah, it was in the goat pen." "And everything was happening." "I didn't know at first." "It just was stinging." "But then I..." "Doom, mija." "My god." "You are doomed." "You're going to die." "You only salvation is [speaking spanish] hair" "Of the dog." "Great, so maybe if we stick around here long enough so" "The rest can be bitten as well." "You better sit down and shut up." "Or I'll come over and do it for you." "Oh, man, you shut up." "Just calm down." "Who knows what kind of diseases that may have." "Calm down." "Calm down." "Besides I haven't had my Chupacabra vaccine yet." "Webster, everyone needs to just calm down." "We're not getting anywhere with this." "We just need a good night's rest." "We need to be ready for whatever is going to happen tomorrow." "I've got some antiseptic and some bandages." "Patch you right up." "There are bunks in here for the crew," "And I've got room for the curandera" "Woman and Miss Esperanza." "Victor." "And the cross." "Victor, why don't you say a few words." "You know him better than anyone else." "[Speaking spanish]" "Amen." "All right." "Let's get out of here." "That thing's still out here." "Let's go." "Get the shovels." "Victor, please." "Nothing else we can do for him now." "So Mr. Jackson, do you see the girls we're looking for." "I mean are they here?" "I'm not sure, but I think that's them over there." "What do you know about the Jackson's ranch last night." "Are you... are you..." "[Speaking spanish]" "We must not talk about this here." "Look, we have a place at the old brewery." "Take us there and we can talk then." "[Speaking spanish]" "Put him on the table." "Another person was bit by the Chupacabra yesterday." "I see that." "Your flesh rots as we speak." "Relax, it will be out soon." "The pain our friend endures is but a drop" "Of water in the black sea of pain" "In which you will soon drown." "The Chupacabra bite is deadly." "It's venom possesses." "Such bile and infection that will soon rot away" "And melt down your insides." "The worst part is near the end when you start passing" "Your own guts into the toilet." "Sometimes it takes hours." "Sometimes takes weeks." "And sometimes it takes months." "But the curandera said that our salvation" "Was in the hair of the dog." "What does that mean?" "The only antidote is the Chupacabra." "Only you can kill it to rid your soul" "Of a Chupacabra's infection." "All right." "All right." "All right." "What's wrong with him?" "The Chupacabra attacked and bit him last summer." "He grows more sick each day." "We're waiting for the swell of death." "Kill me." "Kill her." "We understand that you can take us to the Chupacabra's den." "Den?" "That's a good one." "It's a hole." "Your sources are wrong." "You have my word." "Armi, give you 50 bucks." "What's wrong with you, Esperanza?" "75." "100 American dollars cash." "Due in advance." "Wait a minute." "Wait a minute." "Not so fast." "How do we know you're not fussing with us?" "Fine." "Forget it." "Find it yourself." "[Music playing]" "Armi, the money." "Here's $50." "You get the other 50, when we get to the Chupacabra's lair." "No, I'll take the second half now." "This is ridiculous." "Let's just get out here now." "Give the money back." "Hold on there, boys." "I've seen these girls around." "They'll do what they say." "Well the very existence of such a creature," "Such as the Chupacabra, makes us wonder about its origin." "I believe with many of my parishioners" "That the Chupacabra is not an embodiment of evil." "To say that it's a creation of Satan would be a mistake." "I believe that all animals were placed on this earth by God." "There's no creature on earth that's inherently" "Evil, except perhaps for man." "It's the myth that flourishes behind this animal" "That gives rise to the statement that it's" "A device of the devil." "Of course, I understand why many people" "Think the Chupacabra is evil." "Uh... for instance, the Hispanic culture is" "Alive with myths and legends." "The people of Mexico, for example, are devoutly Catholic." "They're very religious, but equally superstitious." "They'll believe what they want to believe." "And even the Pope couldn't make them think any differently." "Do you know where we are?" "Are we there yet?" "Jackson, pull off here to the right." "OK." "I guess nobody with good sense comes out this way anyway." "This is good." "Hold on." "We go on foot from here." "How far are we walking anyway?" "Jackson, keep your eyes peeled." "Webster, we got something." "Check it out." "Oh, god." "God." "Webster, cover it wide." "This is disgusting." "I think I'm going be sick." "Part of its tissue's picked away." "Probably by animals." "It's looks like he's been here for weeks." "Let's go." "Wow." "Let's go." "Hey, I've got something over here." "There's another one." "God" "Real fresh." "Oh, yeah." "Oh, no." "Jackson, keep your eyes peeled." "My god." "Dios mio, Carlos." "My god." "Hail, hail, great one, be with me now and deliver this soul." "[Non-english speech]" "[Screaming]" "Got you." "I got you." "What the hell is wrong with her?" "What do we do now?" "Everyone just be quiet." "Hey, hey, hey, just give that to me." "Stop." "[Screaming]" "Get her under control." "Look at her." "What the hell." "I have been..." "Leave now." "Let's go." "Let's go." "Let's go, go." "My feet hurt." "DANIEL WEBSTER:" "How many people have to die before we" "Get to this Chupacabra's nest?" "I'm sick of this." "Look, why don't you shut your mouth." "We have no communication." "And we're out here all alone." "Do you hear anybody else complaining." "Maria, are you OK?" "Yeah." "We can rest if we need to." "There's no time." "Are you sure?" "Come on." "Maria, are you OK?" "I'm just dizzy that's all." "She's definitely running a fever." "Sarah, how much further is it?" "DANIEL WEBSTER:" "I'm not going much further." "We're here." "Oh, hell." "Those were put up to ward away intruders." "I'm from around here." "Anybody who walks through those doesn't come back out." "MARIA ESPERANZA:" "What is this place?" "This is where the Chupacabra lives." "GEORGE ARMISTAD:" "OK, people, show time." "Jackson, how many rounds you got with you?" "LLOYD JACKSON:" "Five in this gun." "Two in each of these pockets." "MARIA ESPERANZA:" "Armi, how many of those darts did you bring?" "GEORGE ARMISTAD:" "I got it up to jack ten Chupacabras." "I got one speed loader left." "That's it." "DANIEL WEBSTER:" "Hey, guys, guys, wait up." "GEORGE ARMISTAD:" "Deputy Lowe, I want you and Jackson" "To cover this perimeter." "Webster, Maria and myself will be in this direction." "Sarah, I want you..." "No, I'm staying here." "Wait, Armi, we've shot at this thing how many times?" "It didn't affect it one bit." "Is it just going to kill another one of us?" "I don't understand." "DANIEL WEBSTER:" "I'm with that." "Look, this Chupacabra has got to be vulnerable somewhere." "I mean I can use its eyes as a port to its brain or its mouth." "I mean, there's a lot of soft tissue in there." "DANIEL WEBSTER:" "Yeah, but what if none of that works?" "What then?" "Then we'll just use the rest of the afternoon" "To work on plan B." "DANIEL WEBSTER:" "I thought Maria already alluded to plan B," "Going back to the ranch house." "Look, I've had just about enough of your..." "DEPUTY LOWE:" "Over here." "Maria, over here." "GEORGE ARMISTAD:" "OK, what do we have here?" "The cave, fed by the last people just like you." "And stuff they left behind." "GEORGE ARMISTAD:" "Careful." "See they tried to blow it up." "OK, here's what we're going to do." "We're going to use that dynamite." "We're going to blow up the hole to its den." "Block the entrance." "Then when it comes back from its hunt," "It will at least be confused, disoriented, frustrated." "Then maybe we have a chance." "Armi, think we if turn this the thing up" "We could make it strong enough to hold that thing in." "I can get in done." "It's not as strong as I'd like it to be, but if it was," "Then we wouldn't be able to up right it." "And then I'm going to position myself inside." "What?" "As bait?" "Yeah, don't worry." "It'll work." "Listen, this is a tricky monster." "We've all seen a lot." "Armi, I'm with you." "I'm going to go inside the cage to get some coverage." "Let's do it, buddy." "Let's do this." "But if we can get the Chupacabra in the cage," "We could get some back up back up out here" "And secure this thing once and for all." "I agree." "Let's get started." "Let's turn this thing over." "Lift on three." "One, two, three." "Hey, Cort, you up?" "PETE CORTEZ:" "Yeah." "The guys are trying to make this thing strong." "In case this doesn't work, in case we don't make it," "Whoever finds this tape, you'll know this Chupacabra is real." "We did everything within our power to kill it." "Just like the witch told us." "This is the opening to the Chupacabra's lair." "I got enough dynamite that the force of the blast" "Should seal it shut." "Once that happens, Chupacabra's got to play by our rules." "Cort, I want you to move back." "Take cover." "OK, Cort, here we go." "[Explosion]" "With us inside as bait and the Chupacabra den blown shut," "It should come straight for us." "At that point, I got a dart waiting for it." "I'll go ahead and drag it inside, secure the cage," "Douse it with gasoline, light it up." "Now, if anything goes wrong, I got the deputy" "And Jackson to back me up." "Guys, make sure you shoot to kill." "DEPUTY LOWE:" "I'll be unloading on that son of gun." "LLOYD JACKSON:" "I'll be here for you, man." "OK, it's getting late, so let's get to it." "Thanks, I'm going to need it." "All right, Cortez." "OK, the door is closed." "I'm going to put this knot in the wire" "So you boys can get at it if you need to." "Let's just say you boys are crazy for doing this." "But good luck." "Armi, are you ready?" "I'm ready." "Hey, Armi, Cort, you guys OK up there?" "Oh, my god." "No, Armi, it's Louisa." "Sarah?" "Sarah?" "She left us." "Oh, my god." "Did that thing do that to you?" "Sarah!" "Louisa, she's gone." "We don't know where she is." "I can't die alone." "We're here." "We'll help you." "Not with strangers." "Sarah!" "She's dead already." "I heard it." "PETE CORTEZ:" "OK, I'm rolling." "Keep your eyes peeled." "PETE CORTEZ:" "Did you hear that?" "I can feel it." "Get ready, Cor." "[Screeching]" "Quiet, quiet." "Why didn't..." "Quiet." "Get ready." "[Roaring]" "I'm getting out of here." "I'm getting out of here." "Calm down." "Keep your composure." "Quiet." "That thing isl still out there." "[Screeching]" "You all right, Cort?" "PETE CORTEZ:" "I'm fine." "Keep your eyes peeled." "[Screeching]" "PETE CORTEZ:" "Stay down." "Shoot it." "[Shot]" "Sit tight." "Sit tight." "PETE CORTEZ:" "It's going down." "It's still moving." "Listen, stay here." "I'm going to go in for a better shot." "It's down." "That's it." "Cort, here's what I want you to do." "Go back." "Tell the others to stay put until I get this thing secured" "In the cage..." "[Screaming]" "Stay back, Cort." "Get out of here." "What's going on up there?" "Who is that?" "It's Cort." "What the hell's going on up there, buddy?" "Jesus, man, what's going on?" "MARIA ESPERANZA:" "Where's Armi?" "LLOYD JACKSON:" "What's going on?" "What is it?" "What is it?" "DEPUTY LOWE:" "Is that thing coming down here or what?" "LLOYD JACKSON:" "Go on, Cort." "DEPUTY LOWE:" "Talk to us, man." "Careful." "Is this where he was, Cort?" "PETE CORTEZ:" "Straight ahead." "DEPUTY LOWE:" "Stay alert." "Guys, rifle's still in the cage." "MARIA ESPERANZA:" "Where's Armi?" "There's a dart still in it." "I thought he was with me." "I don't know." "Armistad?" "Armi." "[Screaming]" "[Gun shot]" "It's still moving." "Is he all right?" "He's down." "Let's drag his ass into that cage." "Give me a hand Stay away from his mouth." "Cortez, hand me the Molotov cocktail." "You're too close to him." "Get out of there." "Let's set the cage a blazing." "We'll get the hell out of here." "Let me get the wire." "Get the hell out of here." "Well, hang on." "I got to wire this shut." "All right, go ahead." "I'm going to burn this son of a bitch." "He's moving." "Go." "Let's get out of here." "[Screaming]" "Oh... oh, my god, look." "[Screaming]" "Oh, my god." "What do we do?" "Yeah, what now?" "MARIA ESPERANZA:" "Jackson!" "Are you crazy?" "Leave him there." "He's up." "Hurry up, Jackson." "We got to get the hell out of here." "[Moaning]" "Where?" "Tell me." "What happened?" "That thing blew up on me." "MARIA ESPERANZA:" "Oh, can you make it?" "I think I'll be all right." "Come on, that thing is awake, We got to get out of here." "Come on." "Up here." "Hurry, hurry." "She's moving." "I can't hold on." "I can't hold on." "I'm coming." "Careful." "She all right?" "Be careful." "No no, no, get back up here." "Maria, are you OK?" "I think so." "God, my knee." "Cort, get me out of here." "PETE CORTEZ:" "Give me your hand, Maria." "Are you up?" "Hello." "We got to get in there." "Where's the way in there?" "Hello?" "Let us in." "Please." "Why are they opening the door?" "I know you can hear us in there." "I'm a deputy sheriff and this is an emergency situation." "And I want you to open this door." "[Growling]" "God, hurry." "Open this god damn door now." "You've got five seconds." "Five, four, three..." "Jackson, have a seat." "Come in." "Are you OK?" "We didn't mean to scare you." "I don't think they speak English, Cort." "[Speaking spanish]" "We're not the border patrol." "[Speaking spanish]" "Please." "I hope I said that right." "DANIEL WEBSTER:" "Cort, what are we going to do now?" "We're going to stay here for the night." "At first light, we'll head for the car" "And make it back to town." "Maria is not doing too well." "And Jackson's burned pretty bad, but he's stable." "I'm sure they'll both make it through the night." "It's just way to quiet out there." "Can't you do something to board that up." "Web, you're making me dizzy." "I don't know." "It's way to quiet out there." "It's making me nervous." "It's going to be all right." "It's going to be all right." "I'll find something." "How about one of these boards?" "We can pull on of these boards up here." "[Speaking spanish]" "Ask one of those guys if they've got" "Some nails around here..." "[Growling]" "[Screaming]" "Be careful." "What is it?" "Does he know how to use that thing?" "Get away from that window." "Stay away from the door." "[Speaking spanish]" "DANIEL WEBSTER:" "No, don't go out there." "MARIA ESPERANZA:" "Stop." "[Short roar]" "[Gun shots]" "Where'd he go?" "[Screaming]" "Hey, Web, look at this." "Dr. Hernandez, what do you make of this?" "DOCTOR HERNANDEZ:" "Looks Like a bar code to me." "MARIA ESPERANZA:" "That's what I thought." "You know what that means." "DOCTOR HERNANDEZ:" "It's interesting." "We're here at the cryptozoology lab at the University" "Of the Rio Grande Valley." "We're about to do an autopsy on this specimen." "It's been in cold storage for about 48 hours" "Since it expired." "We know it seems hasty, but..." "Well... before any government" "Agencies takeover, like the CDC or the FBI," "We want to know the truth." "Maria, before we start cutting into the specimen," "I'd really like to examine it." "This huge cranium, I believe that's why most people believe" "It to be extraterrestrial." "Look at this mandible." "Yeah, I noticed the angle of langerhans." "DOCTOR HERNANDEZ:" "Look at the canines." "See how they protrude forward instead of down?" "Yeah I noticed that earlier." "DOCTOR HERNANDEZ:" "That makes me believe" "They're used for holding or grabbing" "Rather than biting or tearing." "And there's no occlusion between the teeth." "The grasping and holding design is also" "Apparent in the double phalange... hand or paw." "We noticed that up close and personal, didn't we, Cort?" "PETE CORTEZ:" "Yeah, I try not to think about it." "I try to put that in the past." "We noticed, doctor, that it has six areolas, but not just that." "It actually has developed mammary glands." "But its reproductive organs are undeveloped." "Do you think it could be asexual?" "Quite possible." "I guess we'll find out when we cut open, huh?" "Maria, this flesh is almost wing-like." "I know, there were times when it" "Seemed to glide through the air like it was flying." "Doctor, what do you think of this spinal material?" "It looks like an extension of the spinal cord." "Interesting." "DOCTOR HERNANDEZ:" "The tarsals and metatarsals are double" "Flinched, just like the claws." "The feet are extremely flat." "MARIA ESPERANZA:" "That explains all the jumping" "And landing he did so well." "Ready to take a look inside?" "DOCTOR HERNANDEZ:" "Yes." "MARIA ESPERANZA:" "We're now going to a in-nucleate" "The eye from its orbit." "Basically, remove the eyeball from the eye socket." "In order to actually release the eye," "I'm going to have to sever the ocular tendon." "Hey, Cort, you getting pictures of this?" "We're almost there." "No wonder its eyes were glowing." "It's the humorous fluid." "The lingual bifurcation, the forked tongue," "Explains how the specimen was able to do the siphoning." "That's how he did it." "Can you get it?" "Come on." "We're not going to take a look at the viscera," "The internal organs, by cutting in through the abdominal wall." "The doctor is cutting through..." "Um... the mid-rectus abdominus" "Muscle." "MARIA ESPERANZA:" "Post autopsy DNA findings show" "An erratic molecular structure." "It's as if the chromosomes are in a battle for supremacy." "This is definitely one of the most" "Unique and disturbing genetic strains I have ever seen." "As the mayor, I have seen the people" "Come together as a community." "They have watched for each other's animals," "For each other's safety, for the good of the children," "And definitely for the good of each other." "I'm not saying that some of them are at fear for their lives." "But as you know this has been a major problem for quite awhile." "And of late, it has become an even bigger problem." "And it is disastrous to our well being." "The community thrives on their animals." "And it is essential that the breeding stock be preserved." "So they've had to take extra time and care with the animals." "They can't leave them in the field." "They have to be very cautious about the timeliness" "And work together to bring them in." "How's life been?" "Well, it's been pretty quiet in Santa" "Maria since all that happened." "Even the curandera lady got better." "She's kind of local healer around here." "Things have been pretty easy going since then." "And I guess for me too." "I've been going though a healing process." "It's been painful." "But I'm making progress." "Glad the ordeal is all over though." "It was pretty devastating." "I don't ever want to endure something like that again." "But the information that was acquired, it's priceless." "I just feel really bad that so many people didn't make it." "[Music playing]" "It's kind of hard to deal with sometimes," "You know, the things that we saw." "Which you can read in my new book, "Terror in Texas"," "A Survivor's Story."" "Yeah, we had our critics." "But for the most part, the scientific community" "Valued our work." "So did the tabloid industry, ironically." "But I feel as... as if we made a big sacrifice." "I mean, we put our lives on the line." "But we accomplished what we set out to do." "We found a Chupacabra." "There was this one critic." "It was awful." "He had nothing good to say about us." "I remember what he wrote." "We shouldn't have destroyed a living" "Specimen, because it could have been further studied." "Can you believe that?" "Well, I got my Chupacabra." "I got mine." "NARRATOR:" "During the summer following the Esperanza" "Expedition, a videotape surfaced from Sun Valley, California." "Its owner claims it is also actual footage" "Taken of a Chupacabra." "The tape has yet to be authenticated." "MAN:" "Something's out there." "Something's out there." "SECOND MAN:" "Think it's the goat?" "It's the goats." "MAN:" "Something's on the fence." "SECOND MAN:" "See anything?" "MAN:" "I see nothing." "SECOND MAN:" "Where the hell is it?" "MAN:" "I'm trying to google it." "[Screeching]" "MAN:" "You get it?" "SECOND MAN:" "Watch yourself." "Watch out." "MAN:" "Be careful." "SECOND MAN:" "What it that?" "[Goats bleating]" "SECOND MAN:" "I got it right there." "MAN:" "Is it dead?" "SECOND MAN:" "Yeah, I think so." "MAN:" "How do you think this thing's worth, you think?" "SECOND MAN:" "I don't know." "It stinks" "MAN:" "That odor reeks." "[Grunts]" "MAN:" "It's moving." "[Screeching]" "Oh, shit." "[Screaming]" "MAN:" "Come here, Kev." "[Music playing]"
