The Dog Killer says this phrase because he is aware of the larger cult operation led by the Prophet. He knows that the abductions and sacrifices are part of a ongoing pattern, and his capture or death won't stop the cult's activities. The phrase serves as a warning that the investigation has only uncovered a small part of a much larger, continuing conspiracy.

The Prophet is revealed to be Ramos, the local detective who initially helps Garcia and Castro investigate the case. A former cult member named Lidia Vega identifies Ramos as the Prophet, and he later shoots Garcia before escaping to an abandoned mine where he is ultimately killed by Castro.
