- Kino Aguirre: [Showing newspaper cuttings] What do you see?
- Álex: [holding an old banana peel] I see you should hire someone to clean.
- Kino Aguirre: Look closely, damn it.
- Alicia: June 28th... June 28th. The dates... they keep repeating.
- Kino Aguirre: That's right. In all the waves, the first disappearance occurred on June 28th, and it all started here, in Gádor, on June 28th, 1910...
- [points to a photo]
- Kino Aguirre: With this guy.
- [Flashback]
- Kino Aguirre: His name was Francisco Leona, and he was an old healer expert in the dark arts. He had a problem: He was dying of tuberculosis. Any mortal would have had no choice but to resign himself to his fate, but not him, because he knew how to change it. He knew a ritual capable of conquering any disease. But, hear this! For that ritual, he needed something very special. The blood of a child. And so, on June 28th, 1910...
- [flashback to how Leona kidnaps Bernardo]
- Kino Aguirre: Two months later, Leona was captured, tried, and sentenced to garrote vil. His last words before dying were: I'll return.
- Francisco Leona: [In flashback] I'll return.
- Kino Aguirre: I'll come back for your children...
- Kino and Leona at once: Again and again.
- Kino Aguirre: Leona was executed on September 1, 1910, at 8:00 p.m. Leona's threat resonated deeply in our village. So much so that many parents began using it on their children to stop them from misbehaving. What they couldn't imagine is that this threat would extend far beyond the boundaries of this village and eventually become reality. Now look here. These are the latest disappearances recorded in each wave.
- Álex: September 1st... September 1st... September 1st!
- Sergio: But that's tomorrow.
- Kino Aguirre: That's right. Tomorrow, at 8:00 p.m., the Bogeyman will disappear for 7 years, and all the victims will be lost forever.
