The Throne of Hell

Hey hey, stop, you hit something hard

Stop digging, don't dig here

Jose Juan

- What? - Come here, we found something

Coming

Keep working boys

What happened Silverio?

Right when we hit rock I told them to stop

Good

Let's see what we have here

My god

Silverio, go get Dr. Castro

- Yes Jose Juan - Hurry

Hey boss, it looks like it's made of gold

It looks like it is

Doctor, Doctor, Jose Juan says to come with me to the excavation,

we've found something very strange

Coming Silverio, I have to finish this

Finish placing the pottery on shelf 6

Yes Doctor

Lupita, make sure everything on the list goes where it should

Yes Doctor, don't worry

Please hurry Doctor, Jose Juan is waiting for you

I'm coming Silverio, I'm coming, what's the rush?

Look, what is it?

It's an eclipse

- I've never seen anything like that - Neither have I

Careful boys!

Oh my god

Everyone stay calm, stay calm

It's over now

Take it easy boys, nothing happened

Let's go Silverio

It's this way Doctor

What happened Jose Juan, what did you find?

Look here Doctor

Well what do you know?

I think it's made of gold

Exactly Doctor, gold, pure gold

Well then, let's try to uncover it

Alright. Silverio, give me the wedge

Careful Jose Juan, be very careful

Silverio, tell Maria and Lupita to bring an empty box immediately

We've never found anything like this in our excavations

Yes, we really haven't

Look at the engravings, those symbols are very strange don't you think?

That's true

It looks to be of European origin,

likely Spanish,

probably placed here by the Conquistadors

Yes, it could be

Here you go Doctor

Here it is

Here's the box you asked for

Thank you

Look Doctor

Two hoops,

they must be used to lift this flagstone

What are we waiting for?

Give me a hand boys, let's go

Careful

What could that be?

- It's an offering - That's what it looks like

Take it out carefully, the clay must be very bland due to the humidity

Grab it boys

Be careful

Bring me a box to transport the offering

I'll go get it

Slowly

Here it comes

It's wonderful

- Hold on - Be careful

It's very heavy, right Silverio?

Who knows what's inside

Oh, you can handle it

Lupita should be bringing the box soon

It's getting hot!

Doctor, it's burning!

I can't take it!

Hurry and take him to the infirmary!

What happened to me?

You had a fainting spell,

you and Silverio dropped the offering, don't you remember?

It seems like you inhaled some of the gas trapped in the jar

Gas?

Yes, methane and ammoniac gasses,

they're produced by organic decompostion inside the jar

I'm going to take you to the hospital, I want them to do a full checkup

- No, no - Yes

No, I feel fine now, thanks

Don't give me that, it's better to be safe than sorry

Really, I feel fine now Doctor, believe me

Very well, but Maria's taking you home

How are you feeling?

Fine

I feel fine

That's good dear

What was inside the offering?

I didn't find out, the boys and I took you to the infirmary

and the one who stayed behind and picked up the pieces was the doctor

- What's wrong? - Stop

Stop, please stop!

I'm telling you we should go to the hospital, don't be so pigheaded JoseJuan!

Hey there precious

Why don't we go for a spin while your friend here is busy?

Leave the lady alone

Don't get bent out of shape

Go to hell

Let's go

Let's get out of here quickly, let's go, let's go!

Hello Jose Juan

Hello Doctor

How are you feeling?

Better now, thanks

That's great

Maria told us about last night's accident

How horrible,

she said it happened right in front of you

Yes, it was frightening

- Jose Juan? - Yes?

Come see what was inside the jar you broke yesterday

It's incredible, isn't it?

But...

... but what does it mean?

Leviathan, Beelzebub, Lucifer, call it what you want

Lord of Hell, Prince of Darkness

The devil?

One of his many representations, but...

... there's something fascinating about this one,

something special

Look at his eyes,

they're two rubies,

two perfect rubies,

so finely polished,

so scrupulously cut

that even in our own age it'd be hard to achieve work of this nature

It's like he's watching us

There's something else I want to show you Jose Juan, come this way

I've been thinking about what you said about that seal we found, do you remember?

Oh yes, the golden seal, that it probably came from Europe

Exactly

Take a look at this picture

It belonged to a strange sect,

to a religious organization who called themselves the Templars

The Templars?

Yes, during the crusades of the 9th and 10th centuries their order acquired

so much power that in a short time they became the holders of the

vast fortunes of the popes and kings of the middle ages

Legends say that they came to possess holy relics like

the nails and cross with which Jesus Christ was crucified

Well...

... what does this have to do with the Aztecs?

That's what I'd like to know,

what the hell is a medieval symbol doing

on top of an Aztec offering of the pre-classical period?

That means that the seal had to have been put there at least five centuries

before the first Spaniard set foot on the coast of the Americas

I'm taking the seal to the laboratory,

I want to run a deeper analysis and find out its exact age

I'd like to see the seal again Doctor

Of course, it's in the second drawer over there

Thank you

What's happening to me?!

Are you a priest?

I'm Father Mathias my son

I need help Father

That's why I'm here

It's stronger than I am

I can't resist him

Blessed are the holy spirits of the kingdom of heaven

Help me!

Help me Father! He's overpowering me!

The body of Christ-

My son, who are you talking about?

You're a pig! A pig! A pig!

Brother, the time of Man has come

Let it be so

Have a nice day

Have a nice day

Hello Dr. Castro

Hello Professor, how are you?

Were you successful?

It's unbelievable,

I went over the results time and time again in search of a mistake but

everything seems so incredible and absurd all at once

What did you find?

Well, an analysis of the metal showed it had a surprising purity,

the seal is solid 24 karat gold

And the age?

There's no doubt,

the seal was placed on the offering in the early years of the pre-classical period,

much earlier than the founding of great Tenochtitlan

But that's impossible

That's not all,

it's not the only one of the sort to be found

Look at this

Another six seals identical to ours have been found in different parts of the world

also during archaelogical excavations

Yes, but what are you trying to say?

The six previous seals where displayed in different museums around the world

and every last one of them disappeared a few days after being put on display

Disappeared? How?

Just like that, they vanished

No, they were stolen

Well, it seems like the thief didn't leave a single clue,

nothing to tell the police how he entered the museum or how he left it

And we have one, the seventh

If I understand what you're saying,

when we display ours we should do it with the highest security measures

Exactly

I'll speak with the council,

I'm sure they'll cooperate with us so everything turns out well

I'll see you later Doctor

So long

Hello

Excuse me, are you Dr. Castro?

Luz Castro?

Rosa Maria Castro

- How can I help you? - I'm Lieutenant Moran

of the invesitgative division of the police department

Look, I have here a name,

Jose Luis Jimenez, they say he works with you

Jose Juan Jimenez

We've worked together for two years, why do you ask?

Because he's wanted for murder

But... no, this isn't possible,

there must be some mistake, yes, it must be some other Jose Juan

Forgive me, but there's no mistake because

I took care of the initial investigation personally

Look Luz, what happened is they threw a priest

out of a fifth story hospital window

and Jose Juan Jimenez was in the room where it happened

Was, you say?

He was, but he escaped,

so we need his address, the places he frequented, what friends he had

Wait, are you sure?

Couldn't there be some sort of mistake?

No, forgive me Doctor, but there's no mistake. Can you help me?

Yes

As a child I thought it was just a legend

Excalibur is more than that brother

For 15 centuries it lay in that stone,

waiting for the time when it would be used again

and that time has come

I need a place of prayer, of meditation,

and to prepare

for when the final moment will come

It's ready, everything is at your disposal

Thank you

The first six seals, did you bring them with you?

They'll arrive on time brother

Alright,

very well

Let's go in carefully, we don't know if it's dangerous,

agreed?

Take it easy Lieutenant,

I know how to take care of myself

Damn, it's really cold in here Lieutenant

Don't shoot if it isn't necessary

- Ready? - Ready

Arrest him

Arrest him damn you!

Let's go

What are you waiting for, handcuff him!

Handcuff him Hannibal!

What are you doing you idiot?

Alright

- Thank you - You're welcome

Why, my god, why?

Lieutenant,

I want to ask for a big favor

Whatever you say Doctor

I don't want this to get around

Jose Juan didn't have family here in Mexico,

only his girlfriend,

she's also my assistant

Let me give her the news, I beg you

Don't worry Doctor, it'll be as you say

Don't worry

Do you have something for me brother?

A special delivery for the diocese brought this from Rome

Look at them well brother,

very few mortals have had the privilege of being next to them

They were made with the gold that the wise men gave our lord when he was born

It's incredible,

you can physically feel the goodness,

as if something tangible were radiating from them

Just one of them could keep the malignant one prisoner for over a thousand years

The power of all seven

will imprison him in hell forever

and if that were to happen

the prophecy will have been carried out

Let it be so brother

Forgive me if I frightened you

What a shock, you gave me quite a fright

What are you looking at so intently?

At him

It's that

for a moment I felt his breathing,

I felt, I felt like...

What are you saying?

Yes. Go on, watch him,

keep your eyes on him

I don't feel anything

Are you drunk or something Silverio?

Jimenez couldn't have been here last night

I'm sure I saw him sir

You can be as sure as you want but Jimenez is dead, get it through your head

He died many hours before this woman was killed

So what I saw was a ghost?

It must have been a ghost, it couldn't have been Jimenez because Jimenez is dead,

I was there

What happened here Lieutenant?

Another murder

Take her away please

Why did they kill her? Who was it?

We don't know doctor,

they stabbed her in the chest with a knife

and pulled out her heart

Doctor, I've also just lost a colleague in the strangest way

When we went to arrest Jimenez

my partner exploded right before my eyes,

he exploded into a thousand pieces, do you understand?

It's the first time I've felt I didn't have control, I don't understand a thing

The only thing that occurs to me is that,

I don't know, maybe between the two of us we could

try to resolve this situation, I don't know if you'd want to help me

Of course Lieutenant, I'll do anything you ask

Tell me something Doctor,

did Silverio know Jimenez was dead?

No, no one knew,

I was going to give him the news myself today, why?

Because he swears he saw him arrive at around 11

But that's impossible

And another thing Doctor,

the other girl that works for you

Maria?

What's going on with her?

Maria didn't sleep at her house last night

and Silverio assures me that when Jimenez arrived

the two women were together

What are you trying to say Lieutenant?

Lieutenant, I've been told that Jimenez's body disappeared from the morgue last night

and in it's place we found the corpse of a murdered orderly

Thank you Noel

Doctor, tell me, is there

some significance to that figure you found in that excavation, is it valuable?

Well, as much as anything,

but

why?

Well, it's that Silverio went over the inventory

and he discovered that the only thing the murderer took was that figure

Does it have some special significance?

It's a representation of Leviathan, of the devil

Well look, I've always been

very skeptical of anything to do with magic, witchcraft,

all of that, but after everything I've seen, everything that's happened

I'll have to start believing in ghosts, in apparitions,

in whatever may come,

but I assure you,

I'll catch the murderer

What you're telling me sounds a tad incredible

Believe me Father,

I wouldn't have come to see you unless I needed a real explanation for all of this

Well, so you say that all of this started to happen

after that golden seal was found along with that figure

That's right Father

Hear me well

The sacred writings foretold these happenings,

St. John's Revelations speaks of seven seals,

seven seals that guard a book

and that book

is the book of wisdom

Every one of them

has been opened in different ages,

each one has brought on tragedy on humanity

But the last of them,

the seventh seal,

marks the moment of the liberation of the malignant one

Satan has remained a prisoner for a thousand years

Once the Beast places his master on the throne

there will be no power able to stop him

The Beast?

The Beast is the guardian,

the protector of Satan

Someone possessed,

if you want to call him that

Tell me something Father,

do you think that might be Mr. Jimenez

could be that,

that Beast you speak of?

There's only one way to find out my son

St. John gives us the key in a parable

If I remember right it says

"He who has the wisdom

let him decipher the sign of the Beast,

because it is the number of man,

and that number is

666"

Six hundred sixty six...

The Atomic Bomb, Limitless Destructive Power That Can Create Peace

Excuse me but we have to close

This is official business lady, we'll close up, alright?

Very well, excuse me

Alright, here it is

The first seal was found on the Hawaiian archipelago, on the island of Maui

December 7th 1941

That same day the Japanese attacked Pearl Harbor

The second on August 6th 1970

Please Doctor, I can't hear you well, can you speak a little louder?

Yes, forgive me

Hiroshima is devastated by an atomic bomb,

later the United States intervenes in the Korean conflict

Afterwards, the Vietnamese war, the Iranian Revolution

and finally the Falkland Islands conflict

Each and every one of these conflicts happened at the same moment

that the seals were discovered,

all were conflicts that endangered peace

What do you think of this now Lieutenant?

That this is beyond ghosts and apparitions

It's getting worse every time Doctor

What I don't get is where

Jose Juan Jimenez fits into all of this

He who has the wisdom let him decipher the sign of the Beast

because it is the number of man,

and that number is

666

From hell you have come,

and to hell you will return

Doctor, we've been circling around for hours,

what exactly are we looking for?

The answer that the church couldn't give us

Yes, but who are we going to see?

A warlock Lieutenant

A warlock?

- Come in and take a seat please - Thank you

Welcome to this, your home, Doctor

It's not every day witchcraft has the honor to be visited by science

Sit, please

You're well accompanied

Welcome to this, your home, Lieutenant

Yes Lieutenant, I'm blind,

completely blind

My eyes only, of course

If you know who we are then you must know what we're here for

Yes Doctor, I know

I've been influencing you to come, this encounter is necessary

Tell me something,

is Jose Juan the Beast?

He is Doctor, he is

What is he after? Why did he take the figure?

Because he's the guardian, he has to protect his master

The figurine,

that jackal with the ruby eyes is...

Yes Doctor, yes

Look sir, we need to know

if there's some way to stop him

There is Lieutenant

What can we do? Where should we go?

No, no Lieutenant,

not you nor the whole police force could stop him,

he's powerful and astute

He has an eternity of experience

The owner of the sword could stop him

The owner of the sword? Excuse me, but what sword?

The sacred sword

is a holy weapon, and he also has the shield

What shield sir?

The shield of the seven seals

No, don't try to understand,

you can do nothing

Only...

Only what?

You have time to save a soul

What are you talking about?

The Beast has in its power a woman,

a very beautiful woman

Maria

He wants her to find entrance to the kingdom of his master

Only she has laid eyes on the secret

How can we find her?

You will be able to find her Lieutenant

Doctor, the warlock said that Jimenez needed the girl

because she was the only one who laid eyes on the secret

What secret did he mean?

I imagine that he meant that Maria had been working with fragments of Mayan codexes

which are believed to be part of the Popol Vuh

The Popul Vuh? So?

Well, to be honest I haven't had time to go over them but

they speak about the time when there was no life or light

The speak about something called the otherworld

Otherworld?

So what's this about an otherworld, do you know?

The otherworld is the hell of the ancients, if you want to call it that

It's a world that exists under the earth,

a world of shadows and darkness

What can you tell me about this Lieutenant?

The warlock said you knew where to find her

Maybe

There was a place we would go to play when we were children,

we would bet candy to see who could stay there all night by himself

That means that

that place or tower really exists?

Let's go see, it could be

I'm starting to think that anything could

What's happening?

I don't know, this piece of junk won't movie Doctor

Lieutenant, it smells like something's burning

Burning? The car's burning up, get out!

Out the window Doctor!

- Are you alright? - Yes, I'm fine

This is the place I was talking about

She's still alive

I'll get her down, we'll take her to a hospital

Hurry Lieutenant

Get me out of here, you have to hurry

Doctor, I'm going to need you to help me hold the cross

- Are you alright? Can you hold it? - Yes

We're going to have to pull those nails from her hands

We have to bandage her hands so she doesn't bleed to death

He wanted, wanted

to find an entrance or something

What exactly did you tell him Maria, it's very important that you tell me

I told him I didn't know,

he said I was lying,

that I knew the codexes

What else? Tell me, what else?

In the end

I told him

that I only knew of a burial chamber in Tecohuatl

But where exactly?

I don't know Doctor, I swear I don't know

That's enough, she's lost alot of blood. Let her rest

Are you sure it's this way Doctor?

Yes, I'm sure, this is the place indicated by the codexes

It will be written on the gates of hell

that this time I was the victor

Let's see if your lord has taught you enough

What you saw here had already been written

The prophecy has been fulfilled

The Beast is dead and Satan has been defeated forever

He will be chained in the bottom of the abyss and will never be able to escape

For the glory of our Lord

And now leave here,

you can't remain in this place any longer
