Joseph is confronted by one of Stroheim's men, Donovan, but manages to subdue him, learning that Speedwagon is still alive. Meanwhile, Stroheim manages to awaken the Pillar Man by sacrificing several prisoners to flood the chamber with blood. Once the man awakes, Stroheim dubs him Santana. To test Santana, Stroheim sends a vampire after Santana, which he absorbs into his body to feed himself. To Stroheim's shock, Santana manages to escape his cell by twisting his body through the air vents and confronts him, quickly learning and killing Stroheim's men by mimicking their gunfire with the bullets they tried to shoot him with. Just then, Joseph, who had managed to sneak into the base (after a failed attempt at crossdressing), reveals himself and stands against Santana using his Hamon powers.
