The trail leads to the now-abandoned hotel where Angela was conceived, thereby unveiling Santini's mysterious clue. Quiroga scouts ahead following indications by the Dachau neurologist but is quickly subdued and killed by cultists. Massera arrives soon thereafter and is murdered offscreen. Claudia is lured there by a phone call from Angela. She is greeted by cult members, including Angela's father. Marc reveals that everything was planned by the cult: conceiving Angela, raising her to be pure and innocent, kidnapping and subjecting her to abuse in their quest for a pure evil being, and finally leading Claudia to their den. Claudia confronts her visibly perverted daughter, whose task is now to commit the "ultimate atrocity" she was groomed and conditioned for matricide. Instead, Angela shoots Marc through the door and briefly seems to resist the indoctrination – before proclaiming she has a plan more sinister than the cult's own. She cynically tells Claudia "I will call you ", before putting the gun in her mouth and pulling the trigger.
