Finding Bigfoot (2011) s01e97 Episode Script
Extras: Lost Tapes Chupacabra
There may have been another chupacabra sighting not too far from here.
That's the mysterious animal known for sucking the blood out of goats.
The animal-killing, blood-sucking chupacabra A beast sometimes described as an alien-like creature resembling a griffin.
Farm animals have been killed and drained of their blood by a mysterious creature.
It looks more like something out of a horror movie.
It was the work of the chupacabra.
The chupacabra lives.
There are creatures science refuses to recognize.
But new technology makes us question what is real.
Come on! Enter a realm where fact meets fiction science meets legend Oh, my god! iHola! Hola, mija.
In 2006, the Ramirez family received two gifts from a relative in the United States.
One was a video camera for their daughter Eva's 9th birthday.
Okay.
Okay.
Perfecto.
Okay.
The second gift was a letter stating that a coyote had been hired to smuggle them across the border.
The journey was more dangerous than anyone could have imagined.
Mija, Mija, we're going to the United States.
We're going we're going to the United States.
Nearly 2,000 people died along the border between 1998 and 2004.
In 2005 alone, there were more than 500 deaths.
Chupa started in South America, then took Puerto Rico by storm in 1995.
But most of the recent chupacabra activity has been in Mexico.
I've been patrolling these back roads for a long time, and I have never run across anything like this until that day.
It looks a lot like this creature found dead in Cuero last year.
Tested by Texas State University, it was reported to be a coyote deformed by sarcoptic mange.
I've seen a lot of mangy coyotes in my day, and that is not a coyote.
You're getting a fear in people that can turn into hysteria and might lead to something dangerous.
These are bite marks, okay? Look at them.
He has quite a few of them.
What explanation can you give for something like this? We're not near ready to put this one to bed yet.
She's convinced it was the work of the chupacabra.
Papi, Papi.
Okay, okay, okay.
Okay.
Okay.
Since the U.
S.
Border Patrol intensified its efforts, alien smuggling has become more difficult.
Smugglers charge up to $30,000 for the dangerous journey.
Border Patrol officials said it is the coyotes that are to blame for leading migrants into remote parts of the Sonora Desert.
They don't care about the safety and welfare of these people.
All they care about is their money.
If they tell you that they're gonna go get some water, they'll be right back, don't believe them.
They're gonna abandon you.
Having been deposited in the middle of the desert, the Ramirez family attempted to reach the border and cross on foot.
Mommy! U.
S.
Border agents Tom Valentine and Martin Santino were on patrol west of Nogales, Arizona, when they received a routine report of an illegal border crossing.
What they discovered upon investigation was anything but routine.
Base to unit 2.
Unit 2, please respond to border breach.
Approximately 3.
6 miles east of checkpoint 7220.
GPS coordinates being sent to your unit.
Surveillance has detected three to four crossers.
We should see them, right? Surveillance has detected four crossers.
At first they said there were three.
Then they said there were four, and now there's none.
It's not making any sense.
We're losing some of them.
Unit 2, please respond to scene.
Got two bodies.
Let's go take a look here.
What do you think did this? The heat.
I don't feel a pulse.
Geez! Come look at this.
I don't know about the heat, man, but this one's got 3 puncture wounds.
And you know what? I don't see any blood.
Exposure, heat stroke, and dehydration are the most frequent causes of death at the border.
However, the evidence here pointed to something far more mysterious.
Oh, God.
This one's got the same thing 3 puncture wounds and no blood.
Martin, check down in the wash.
Okay.
Look, there's something right down there.
I see it.
We have two confirmed deceased here.
I've confirmed that.
Male and female probably in their 30s.
Tom, there's something in the bush, man.
Tom! - There's something in there? - There's something in there.
What the hell's that? Because they are similar in appearance to gargoyles, one theory is the chupacabra were native to medieval Europe and were brought to South America on Spanish galleons.
In Puerto Rico, some believe the chupacabra is the product of a genetic experiment by a secret U.
S.
Agency.
According to this theory, the creatures escaped when the government laboratory at El Yunque Mountain was damaged during a severe storm in the early 1990s.
Most cryptozoologists believe the chupacabra to be a close relative of the aye-aye, a primate from Madagascar that resembles a raccoon.
Others speculate that chupacabra are alien creatures.
On occasion, there have been UFO sightings at the same location as chupacabra attacks.
Tom! Something in there? There's something in there! Jesus! There's a little girl in here, man.
There's a little girl.
Agents Valentine and Santino discovered Eva at the scene, unhurt but clearly terrified.
Let's go, Martin.
All right.
Okay.
Okay, relax.
It's okay.
It's okay.
It's all right.
I'm gonna put you in here.
Just relax, okay? I have to go back.
What is she saying? I need to go out.
She doesn't want you to leave, but she's saying it whatever it is is out there.
That's what she's saying.
Keep going.
Keep going.
Attempting to locate additional survivors, Officer Santino searched the nearby brush.
Okay.
What is that noise? ¿Habla Español? Hello? If you're there, please, I'm just here to help.
Oh! Oh, it smells awful.
This is crazy.
This is just crazy.
Oh.
Again, no blood.
Geez! What's your name? Eva.
Eva.
Oh, my god.
It's coming.
It's coming.
Pretty friend there.
- Puerca.
- Puerca.
Well, everything's gonna be all right.
You and Puerca Get out of the car! There's something out here! I'll be right there.
There's something out there, man.
I'm not making this up.
There's something out there.
- Stay right here.
- No! You hear that? Do you? I hear something.
What the hell's that? I don't know, man.
It's it's coming from there.
Oh, it smells worse over here.
Ohh! Let's take a look.
What the hell's that? I don't know, man.
It's it's coming from there.
Like nothing I never heard before, man.
Oh, geez.
Geez.
Did you see that?! What was that, man? Y-you saw it, right? You saw it.
Geez.
Hey, Valentine.
Word is you got a couple of 10-17 s out here.
The official Border Patrol incident report lists the cause of death of Mr.
And Mrs.
Ramirez as unknown.
Got it? Yeah, I got it.
You coming? Or you want to stay up here all night? Hey, glad you got here.
We got two deceased here, and I got one little girl in the truck.
She's alive.
The report noted unidentifiable puncture wounds on the victims and a mysterious lack of blood.
However, it did not make mention of any creature.
To this day, agents Valentine and Santino refuse to discuss the incident.
Eva Ramirez was returned to her grandmother in Mexico, plagued by nightmares of a creature that science still refuses to recognize.
But like so many other witnesses, for Eva, it was all too real.
