Alright, folks, let's Lucha!
There's a video of the police station with Cortez, Joey Ryan, and Captain Vasquez, prior to Ultima Lucha Dos. They had just listened to Mr. Cisco getting killed on the radio. Tempers flare between the men and they throw fists briefly before the Captain stops them, telling Cortez (aka Reyes) that this is bigger than Cisco. Cortez leaves saying "It's Mr. Cisco."
Back in the Temple:
Famous B cuts off Melissa Santos to introduce Dr. Wagner Jr himself. He'll be facing Mascarita Sagarada.
Mascarita Sagrada vs. Dr. Wagner Jr (with Famous B)
I blinked quickly and the match was already over. It ended the Doctor Driver.

Flashback from A MILLENNIA AGO!
A young child is sitting over her dying father. He tells her she now must lead the fight against the Gods, saying there's a war coming that's more important than all of them. He then hands her the medallion of Piedra Immortal and tells her that the power only works on females so she must take it. When she has it, when she reaches adulthood, she won't age and she will never die.
Flash forward to right before Ultima Lucha Dos and the Captain of the police is holding that medallion, but it's broken in half! She's angry at Castro even though the word that the tapes from his work have been passed along and they are going to arrest Cueto. While Castro thinks that's great, she says it's absolutely not. With Cueto behind bars, they can't follow him to the further evils. She's so angry that she suspends him.

Argenis vs. Mil Muertes (w/Catrina)
Oh, this isn't going to be good for Argenis.
Mil is in clear control early on, hitting a running powerbomb early on. However, Argenis hits a kick to the head that knocks down the bigger man. But when he hits a springboard moonsault, Argenis doesn't even get a one count.
A huge spear is followed up by the Flat Liner and Muertes makes fast work of Argenis.
Mil def. Argenis
As Catrina is delivering the Lick of Death, PRINCE PUMA HITS A SPRINGBOARD ATTACK ON MIL! The two fight with Puma having control. Mil Muertes wants to keep at it, but Catrina holds him back.

Dario is alone in his office, checking over things. Suddenly, Joey Ryan is there and El Jefe doesn't even seem to know who he is. Joey tells Dario that he's a cop and he knows that Cueto killed Cisco. Joey says he wants to be on the right side of the upcoming war and that side is Dario's side. He tells Cueto that he was the one guy trying to keep El Jefe out of jail and tells him that his partner, Cortez Castro, wasn't.
He asks if they have a deal and Dario gives him some money as an agreement.
Back with Captain Vasquez tonight. Reyes (Cortez Castro) enters her office and tells her he's with her. She says she's sending him back to the temple then.

Marty "The Moth" Martinez vs. Killshot in a Weapons of Mass Destruction match
Marty is in full camo, including face paint. As he's walking to the ring, he's attacked by Killshot. They fight to the top of Dario's office, which has sandbags and a mounted gun. Killshot takes the gun off the mount and clocks Marty in the head with it.
Not surprisingly, there are A TON of Matt Striker adding in words associated with war while calling this match.
Killshot beats the Moth all the way down to the ring. It's then that Marty takes control, driving Killshot head first into the steel post corner of the ring multiple times. That's not enough to keep Killshot down as he picks up a steel chair and flings it into the face of Marty. Struggling, The Moth grabs Melissa Santos and tosses her at Killshot to escape up into the stands again. When Killshot gets to him, The Moth grabs Killshot by the balls and just squeezes as the crowd chants "Creep Bastard!"
They fight back down to around the ring, where there are a ton of props set up. Marty shoves Killshot into a box that's on a table and has clear control for a bit. He sets up a table leaning against the corner in the ring (first time any of them enter the ring). He takes Killshot into the ring and plans to suplex him out of the ring onto a different table outside the ring, which has what looks to be a missile on it. He doesn't succeed but ends up dropping Killshot on the apron anyway.
Killshot is able to fight back briefly, but gets tossed front first into a ladder that's laying horizontally from the ring to the barricade. Back in the ring, the two start fighting over another ladder. Killshot wins the fight, pinning Marty into the corner with it and then hitting him in the head with a chair. But Marty is still fighting and knocks down Killshot again!
After continuing his beating on Killshot, Marty goes to the top rope but Killshot meets him up there. None the less, Marty continues to control with a superplex on army crates set up in the ring! Both men are down!
Finally, Killshot is able to land an impact move that could give him the momentum when he hits a Death Valley Driver on the ladder from earlier. Follows up with a double stomp from the top rope for the 1-2... Kick out Marty! Killshot sets up for a German but Marty mulekicks Killshot low... AND THEN POWERBOMBS HIM OVER THE TOP ROPE INTO A TABLE ON THE FLOOR!
Marty slides Killshot into the ring but only gets a 2 count. Marty goes for a move off the second rope but Killshot hits a Tornado Driver! Only a two count!
Killshot sets up a 20 foot ladder but then takes a big boot from Marty, who then sets up a table on each end of the ladder. He lays Killshot on one of the table after delivering a headbutt, stares at Melissa, and then climbs the ladder from the other side. Killshot slides off and climbs up to try to meet Marty up top. The Moth sets up for a suplex but Killshot blocks.
Marty's sister, Mariposa, slides into the ring and climbs up behind Killshot and starts clubbing him from behind. She tries to pull Killshot into the table but he kicks her into it instead! Back on the top, the two men brawl until Killshot reaches under the rings and squeezes Marty's nuts! Marty slides down as Killshot climbs up to the top. Killshot grabs the dogtags off Marty's neck. He makes the gun symbol with his hand, fires... AND DOUBLE STOMPS MARTY THROUGH THE TABLE... AND PICKS UP THE 1-2-3.
Killshot def. Marty the Moth Martinez
This match was pretty much 30 minutes with no commercial interruptions

Backstage, Mil is pissed, punching lockers over. Catrina tells him that's enough. The Man of a Thousand Deaths says he wants Puma. She tells him she'll get him, but patience is a virtue. She says she's waited a thousand of years to get what she wants... AND TAKES OUT THE OTHER HALF OF VASQUEZ'S AMULET!
SO WHO WAS THE LITTLE GIRL?
