00:00Follow me, Bill.
00:13Hit the lights, Bill.
00:16Okay, let's get started, Janine.
00:20That's our plan in Jamiah, Columbia.
00:22It's one of the largest in Latin America.
00:24Now, that entire village,
00:26virtually is supported by those employees.
00:29Now, if the plant stops working,
00:31the village stops living.
00:33But more important to us,
00:35if one of our big plants stops operating,
00:37we lose money.
00:39Lots of money.
00:43Oh, that's a shot of Pete.
00:45I think you met him in Peru.
00:47He runs the plant.
00:49Next slide, honey.
00:51Now, Bill, this is a slide of Maria Reyes,
00:53the year her husband was killed.
00:55Now, she maintains
00:57that a large animal climbed out of a tree
00:59and killed him at night.
01:01She called it a monster.
01:03This is what she looks like today.
01:05Now, there's a group of people
01:07who think she's a witch.
01:09Please, Al, Mr. Barnes.
01:13All right, Miss Torres.
01:15Next slide.
01:17Now, this is where I think our trouble is.
01:21This is Victor Sanchez.
01:23He's been raised in hell all over South America
01:25with his anti-American and anti-big business bullshit.
01:29Now, I think he is our problem.
01:33He's been spreading stories about the witch and the monster,
01:35stirring up the natives
01:37to get them to get us out of the country.
01:39Now, you and I don't believe in that monster crap,
01:43but Sanchez sure as hell is using it.
01:45Now, every animal that's dead,
01:47every person that's missing
01:49is killed by some monster, according to Sanchez.
01:52Now, we scare a lot of people out of town,
01:55and the production of the plant has slowed down,
01:58and I want to know what's happening,
02:00what's causing it,
02:01and I want it stopped.
02:03That's why I'm sending you to Columbia.
02:05Put on the next goddamn slide.
02:09Now, we ain't got enough with Sanchez.
02:11We've got to put up with this bitch.
02:13Now, she's been filming and recording
02:15all our problems for a network
02:17that we advertise with
02:19to the tune of over $4 million every year,
02:23and we can't stop them.
02:35This is Patty Clark coming to you
02:37from the small lakeside town of Chimayo, Colombia.
02:40We are extremely fortunate to have arrived here
02:42at the height of Chimayo's celebration
02:44of its founding by Spanish missionaries.
02:47But don't let the festivities fool you.
02:49Chimayo has its problems.
02:51And there is the problem,
02:53or at least one of them.
02:55The Dorado Cement Plant,
02:56operated by an American corporation
02:58and discharging its raw wastes
03:00directly into Lake Chimayo.
03:02The fishermen have put away their nets.
03:05Pollution has taken away their livelihood.
03:08And that pollution comes from that cement plant.
03:11The few fish that are caught
03:14are almost unfit for consumption.
03:19Go on, Takai. Go get it.
03:21That a boy.
03:25Come here, boy.
03:29Come on, Takai.
03:31Good one.
03:35Are you ready, Con?
03:36Yeah, go ahead.
03:37Go on, Takai.
03:38All right.
03:40Ezra, look! Look!
03:42Ezra, look!
03:44Look!
03:46Ezra, look!
03:48Ezra, look!
03:49Ezra, look!
03:51Ezra, look!
03:52Ezra, look!
03:54Ezra, look!

03:59Ezra, look!
04:00Ezra, look!
04:01Ezra, look!
04:04Ezra, look!
04:05Ezra, what?
04:06Ezra, what is it?
04:07Ezra, nothing now.
04:08They're gone.
04:09Ezra, what's gone?
04:10I don't see anything.
04:11Ezra, remember me telling you
04:12I'd seen something in the lake a couple of times?
04:14Ezra, yeah.
04:15Ezra, well, I just saw it again.
04:16And there were some big ripples.
04:18Ezra, something was swimming under the water.
04:20I know.
04:22It's the old monster in the lake bit again.
04:25Grrr!
04:26You're as bad as the others.
04:28Monster, huh?
04:30Hey, they're starting the bull run.
04:32Let's go.
04:50Maybe, we were out.
05:15Gracias a usted, señorita Clark.
05:16And I would like for you to meet my daughter, Juanita.
05:20She's the one that flies the helicopter for the Honda.
05:23Hello, Juanita.
05:24¿Cómo está?
05:24Hello, Miss Clark. It's very nice to meet you.
05:26I'm surprised you speak such beautiful English.
05:29Why, thank you. I spent several years in the United States.
05:32She's a good girl.
05:45Yes, this is the gloriest day for Chimayot.
05:56The good Lord in his infinite wisdom
05:59has blessed us with 200 years of communal life
06:03on his wondrous earth.
06:06He has given us bountiful crops,
06:08abundant sunshine,
06:10and a beautiful lake overflowing with fish.
06:13Yes, praise the Lord, for he giveth,
06:17and he taketh away.
06:24Ants in the streets,
06:26fill your bosoms with the juice of the grape,
06:29the fruit of the vine,
06:31he shall repent.
06:37He watches over us.
06:40He shall protect us from the foreign intruders
06:42who pollute our skies and our waters.
06:45He commands us to return to the soil,
06:48his pure and polluted soil,
06:51his cool and sustaining waters,
06:54which Satan has plucked from us
06:55with his creature of evil.
06:58This is an admirable day for you, town.
07:01Voice of the Lord!
07:01200 years is a long time.
07:04All I need to drive out.
07:05See, but with what is happening,
07:07will there be 200 more?
07:10They praise the right.
07:11It is up to us to drive this evil from your town,
07:15so that our country may live in peace.
07:18Carlos, it is friends.
07:20You must raise your voice.
07:21You must raise your voice.
07:21You must sing.
07:22But it is you who must put an end
07:24to these evil doings.
07:27The priests here speak the truth.
07:29The two evils which I say
07:31the intruders must be driven out.
07:35You must do what you believe is right.
07:37I must do what I have said how to do.
07:42See, together we join forces.
07:47Together, Carlos,
07:48we will see that Sergio celebrates
07:50about 200 years of freedom.
07:53Freedom from the evil foreigners
07:54and freedom from the demons they have created.
07:59You restrain your sinful souls
08:01and drive out these evil creatures.

10:06My name's Travis, Bill Travis.
10:09Where's our pilot?
10:10I'm your pilot, senor.
10:12Really? Well, okay, lead on.
10:27Helicopter 7A94 Sierra.
10:30Ready for takeoff.
10:32Heading north to Shimayo.
10:349-4 Sierra, clear for takeoff.
11:00What is this?
11:04There's the little devil.
11:09You okay, son?
11:10Flynn, look at you!
11:12No, I'm okay. I got four this time.
11:14I think you should take us to dinner, honey.
11:16What do you say?
11:17Sure thing.
11:18So do you my pleasure.
11:19I'm tired.
11:20Come on!

11:29Come on!
11:30Come on!
11:31Come on!
11:32Come on!
11:33Why sit down in the mouth, lover boy?
11:35Hello.
11:36Hi, Laura.
11:37What'd you say?
11:38Nothing important.
11:39You worried about the troubleshooter they're sending?
11:42No.
11:43It was my report to Barnes that got Travis to come.
11:46Somebody's gotta do something about all this voodoo stuff.
11:47That's not what I stopped by to talk about.
11:48What I really want to know is, why have you been avoiding me lately?
11:49I haven't seen you in days.
11:50Come on!
11:51Come on!
11:52But, Laura, we've been over all of that a million times.
11:53Well, what cooled you off all of a sudden?
11:54I was good enough for you all this time?
11:55Oh, Laura, for God's sakes, hold it down.
11:56Come on!
11:57Come on!
11:58Come on!
11:59Come on!
12:00Come on!
12:01Come on!
12:02Come on!
12:03Come on!
12:04Come on!
12:05Come on!
12:06Come on!
12:07Come on!
12:08Come on!
12:09Come on!
12:10Come on!
12:11Come on!
12:12Come on!
12:13Come on!
12:14Laura, for God's sakes, hold it down.
12:16I'm sorry.
12:17I'm sorry if I hurt you.
12:19I'm sorry if you made more out of it than you should have.
12:22If I made too much out of it, you didn't talk that way the last time we made love down
12:26by the lake.
12:29All right.
12:31Look, Laura, you'll always be the best thing that ever happened to me here.
12:37But you've got to understand that people change.
12:40Oh, come off it, Pete.
12:41You're just trying to dump me.
12:43What happened?
12:44Did you find some local girl to scratch her back?
12:48Okay, since you brought it up, yes, I have.
12:52You're a big girl, Laura.
12:53You've got to face it.
12:54It is over.
12:56It was fun.
12:57All it lasted.
12:58Fun?
12:59You son of a bitch.
13:00Is that all it was, huh, Fun?
13:02Wait a minute.
13:03I didn't mean that the way it sounded.
13:04For God's sake, stop twisting everything I say.
13:07Okay, Pete.
13:08I'll back off.
13:09But I want to know who the competition is.
13:13Well, if you really have to know, I've been seeing Juanita.
13:16Juanita?
13:17You mean Juanita Montero?
13:21You've got to be kidding.
13:22She's a babe in the woods.
13:24The virgin of virgins.
13:26I'll bet she thinks you get pregnant from kissing.
13:30Well, you certainly know you can't, don't you?
13:33Just back off, Laura.
13:36Poor Pete.
13:37One man and two women want him.
13:40What a predicament for a man to be in.
13:43Well, looks like I'll be taking those midnight swims alone.
13:47Mr. Travis?
14:08Patty Clark, WNAC-TV.
14:10I'd like to have a word with you.
14:12Are you down here about the pollution problem?
14:14Can you tell me exactly what you intend to do?
14:17No.
14:18No?
14:19No what?
14:20Look, lady, they're your questions.
14:22You figure it out.
14:23Listen, Travis, you don't seem to understand.
14:25There's a pollution problem down here with international overtones,
14:28and the public has the right to some straight answers.
14:31Well, how about it?
14:32Look, Ms. Clark, I traveled 6,000 miles to get here,
14:35and the way I feel right now, you don't want to put it on your little TV camera,
14:39but I'll answer your first question.
14:41Until I figure out what's going on around here, there'll be no interviews.
14:45Okay?
14:49Well, there you have it, folks.
14:51They create a situation down here, and then they don't want to discuss it.
14:55This is Patty Clark from Chimayo, Colombia.
14:58Cut it, Bob.
14:59...
15:06...
15:10...
15:15...
15:18...
15:22Laura?
15:44Laura?
15:52Laura?
15:53Oh
16:11Oh
16:23Que no puede superar, feroz lleno el glorismo, que no puede superar, que lindo es mi Dios.
16:37Para amar, que grande es que es el rey, para dar, para alegría, felicidad,
16:48Nace uno mismo, después de amar, dar, alegría, felicidad.
16:56¿Qué pasa?
17:12I don't know what the hell's the matter with me.
17:13I really don't.
17:21No, you don't.
17:29Look, Laura,
17:32I came down here tonight to apologize for the way I talked to you today.
17:38I don't want to hurt you.
17:42You've just got to understand that I didn't come down here to make it with you.
17:47I just wanted to be sure that...
17:51I...
17:57You've got to face it, Laura, it's over. It's finished.
18:00It's...
18:04It's completely finished.
18:06And I'm sorry about tonight. I feel like a real shit.
18:14I didn't intend for it to end like this.
18:18Things got out of hand.
18:29I'm sorry.
18:30So, let's go.
18:31I'm sorry.
18:32I just want to leave.
18:33I can't get out of, like, in the middle of the building.
18:36I'm so sorry.
18:38I'm sorry.
18:39I want to go.
18:40Let's go.
18:42I'm sorry.
18:44Bye.
18:46Bye.
18:48Bye.
18:51Bye.
18:52Bye.
18:54Bye.
18:55Oh, my God.
19:25Come on.
19:55Come on.
20:25Come on.
20:27Come on.
20:29Come on.
20:31Over there.
20:35There's when I see her when I drive into town.
20:51Horrible.
20:52I never see anything like that in my life.
20:54Espantoso.
20:55It looks like the Ray's killings years ago.
21:11My God.
21:12Who would do a thing like this?
21:14Not who, Doc.
21:15What?
21:16What do you mean by that?
21:17It's gonna be a shark.
21:19And that's about the horrible scene actually unfolding before you.
21:24Laura Manley, a young and attractive secretary from the Dorado cement plant, has been found brutally murdered near the lake.
21:31The lake was a focal point of a pollution confrontation between the locals and an American conglomerate.
21:38The people are streaming in from town, those who loved her.
21:43You sure you're all right, Pete?
21:48I shouldn't have.
21:51Relax.
21:52It was a shock.
21:56We were talking here last night, and we had an argument, and I left her here.
22:09Here.
22:10Take one of these.
22:11You'd like it.
22:13I don't want any pills.
22:17Okay, Sam.
22:26What the hell is this about sharks?
22:28I've heard of them in inland waters.
22:30Freshwater sharks.
22:31Well, it was a work of radicals, like I said in my report on the Ray's killing.
22:36Okay.
22:37I'll buy the radical angle.
22:39But why Laura?
22:40I mean, why would they do that to her?
22:42Maybe to get to us at the plant.
22:43How the hell do I know?
22:46Well, I will admit it looked like some kind of an animal, did it?
22:51I'm home in there otherwise.
22:53I'll rather get a close shot of it.
22:55Hey, Pete, you look terrible.
22:58I'm fine.
22:59Yeah.
23:00Yeah, sure you are.
23:01Look, why don't you and me walk back?
23:02The air will do you some good.
23:04Sam, the company's going to want a complete report for the insurance papers.
23:08Doc, I want you to do an autopsy and try and figure out the cause of death.
23:11I'll call you as soon as I get something.
23:13I'll get the forms ready as soon as we get back.
23:15Come on, Doc.
23:28We're going to have to put her out of business.
23:30Come on.
23:32Look, Pete, I know how you feel.
23:33How do you do?
23:34Nobody knows how I feel.
23:35Okay, I don't know how you feel.
23:36But I do know if we don't get to the bottom of Laura Manley's death, we're going to be out of a job.
23:51Now, is there anything at all you can tell me about what's been going on down here all these years?
23:56Everything I know is in the report I gave you when you got down here.
23:59It's been pretty quiet late.
24:00It's been pretty quiet late.
24:01Yeah.
24:02Come on.
