After establishing a pattern from the killings, Inspector Noble, the police investigator, theorizes that only one person, a serial or thrill killer, could responsible for all of the murders. Junior is aware of the killings but isn't bothered, unlike most ordinary people who have heard the news of a serial killer roaming the city. He heads to the countryside with Trixie, whose family lives there, and her friend Toti. Junior meets Trixie's weird mother Martha, a tough lady with a shotgun always at her side, and Trixie's weird brother Max, a war-scarred former Marine with traces of insanity. Martha's rejection of Junior is evident from the start. Martha wants Trixie to end the relationship, and immediately tell Junior that he is not welcome in the family. At this time, a mysterious, bulky, ominous-looking man with murderous eyes is riding in an old van towards Trixie's house. He eventually reaches the house, and once inside, takes down Trixie's family one by one. First to fall is Max's wife, then the house helper, Max, and finally Martha. The man takes the shocked and hysterical Trixie alive. Junior on the other hand, manages to hide and elude the man. Meanwhile, Inspector Noble finally identifies the serial killer after getting a lead from the remains of a murdered woman. He is Damian Garote, an officer of Metrocom during Martial Law. He was considered to be the most brutal and ruthless police officer during his time. After he retired from the service, no one knew where he went. Junior eventually gets in the way of Damian, and tries to stop the man from getting away with Trixie. The two men get to see each other eye to eye after they get out of the van, which rammed into a tree. The two recognize each other easily. But in the end, nothing is what it seems.
