In a morgue, Tito the coroner and the director of the funeral home bring in Octavio and Owen, two police detectives.
Julián and Patricia take the prostitute back to the corner where the boys picked her up and dump her in front of the other street workers.
Alfredo's prey escapes while Patricia beats the older man over the head with a shovel and the family later kills him.
Detective Owen discovers Sabina and Patricia preparing their meal in a ritualistic fashion, but the women kill him.

Young stated that "another limiting factor is the difficulty of identifying with any of the characters, who are played expressively but still remain abstract and alien, distant from the viewer.
The site's critics consensus reads, "We Are What We Are is elevated horror that combines family drama and social politics, with plenty of gore on top.
