But you gotta stay sharp,

you understand me?

No more doom

and gloom. Okay?

Okay.

Hey!

Leave him alone!

They understood you.

It's Quiche.

A Mayan dialect.

Maybe it's close

to their language.

What's he saying?

"Took the blade,

awoke the protector. "

They call that

thing a protector?

The warning is at the tomb.

So it's our fault? I

thought they controlled it.

In the past, invaders

attacked their land.

Tribal elders prayed.

Summoned a protector.

He fed on the blood

of the invader.

But he didn't stop.

He attacked them.

So they created a...

A talisman.

Part Yamballi.

Part invader.

To stop the beast.

Talisman.

The dagger.

We're supposed to fight

that thing with a knife?

No.

He's pinned it to the earth

at the sacred place.

The tomb.

What is that? What is

that? It's inside me.

Get it out!

Get it out of me!

A heart for a heart.

I don't know.

Maybe he said,

"If the protector dies,

we can save Santiago. "

We have to kill it.

That sounds like

a really good plan.

I'll do it.

Give it to me.

The knife.

Give it to me. Heart for a

heart. I'll do it. Tell him!

Please, get it

out of me.

What is that?

Is that beating?

What are they saying?

Something about

heart of the invader.

Stand back.

What's happening?

I think

we pissed it off.

Maybe we should

take it out. Now.

Run! Run!

Run!

Go! Go! Go!

Go! Go!

I don't understand.

It should have worked.

We're missing something.

Let me see it.

There's something

written under here.

If I can just get

this thing apart. Here.

Come on!

Let me see it.

What does it say?

"One heart

"for all hearts. "

That's what the shaman said

what it said on the tomb.

No, he said,

"A heart for a heart. "

He wasn't talking

about saving Santiago.

He wanted to sacrifice him.

And I volunteered.

That's why the conquistador

is in the Yamballi grave.

They killed him

to imprison the creature.

Human sacrifice.

Give me that.

I gotta lead them away.

Get them off our scent.

Don't leave.

Stay here. Don't move, I'll be back.

That sucks.

Crap!

This has got to end.

I'm sorry.

No. Don't!

I'm sorry. I tried.

Let her go.

I'll kill him.

I'll do it.

It won't work.

This sacrifice has to be an outsider.

That's what they kept saying.

You want me?

Do it!

Do it!

Hand it over, McCall.

Harry,

you don't know...

Give me my dagger!

Don't do anything

stupid, Harry.

Harry!

Harry, the creature and

the dagger are connected.

Be quiet!

Oh, you son of a b*tch!

No. That dagger is rightfully mine.

Get away from it.

Don't tell me what to do.

I don't work for you anymore.

Time to die, Sergeant.

You first.

Is it over?

Tell me it's over.

It's over.
