well many things happen before and after the incident in the woods of which many refuse to believe it ever happen. there were many things before and after but that is not important anymore, what is important now is the future journey of the people whom were part of this road of chaos and insanity. 
first let's talk about Mr. Keene whom is still working in the secret society of those whom are affected by the Judas' chastisement effect and he keeps watching from the shadows making sure that his own people are saved and that they are not using the curse in any way to hurt others. he might had rules that he can't break but he is a good man trying to make sure that the rules are follow by others like him and also making sure that the rules do protect his people.
Sidney whom was one of the many people whom work with Martha in "el Resucitado: bar and grill." is now working in an office, she stopped talking about other people behind their backs and every sunday she visits the tombstone of her friend and she prays for her and she wishes for bright and happy futures every now and then, she has a crush in a coworker but she is trying to give herself a time before any type of relationship.
Joseph Hall AKA the Conejo is officially the new leader of the organization in which he works from the shadows making snuff films and in other type of illegal activities. after every boss was in jail or dead he was careful enough to not make any mistake and to kill anyone who could get in his way until he was the only boss and now that he has accomplish his dream there is nothing that can stop him from becoming the most dangerous man in the town and he is powerful enough to buy the cops, he has become so powerful and it is just the beginning of his empire.
Jake Park after he was kick out of the Resucitado he found a new job but he wasn't pay enough so he committed the mistake of stealing once more but this time he wasn't just kick but he was send to jail and because he tried to steal a few thousands now he would spend a few years on jail.
after the arrest of "The Craftsman" Robert left town with no desire of coming back. he did commit a few mistakes in the past bur he is no longer that man and he tries to do some good in the world to proved to himself that is possible to change. he has no idea where is he going but he knows that whatever happens he would do anything to be proud of his choices.
Yugo Miyamoto and Donovan Robinson are in the same prison. they try to avoid each other not because they hate each other but because is awkward for them. Yugo become part of a gang inside of prison and every once in a while he does something stupid that adds days for him in prison while Donovan is trying to behave the best that he can and he has become friends with one or two guys in there, is painful for him to know that he is inside of that cage and that he would never see his brother again, he felt dead alive when he was told that Roger was killed but with time he is healing and he wants to be free one day to visit the grave of his brother. 
Raul Palacios also known as "the Craftsman" is in a maximum security jail. that jail is his personal hell and he won't be able to get out of there. every once in a while he is attack by other prisoners and he has being killed already at least once but because of his "curse" of not being able to stay dead the other prisoners notice that he can come back to life and they are enjoying themselves while beating him every once in a while. he is just waiting for the opportunity to be free again and to take his revenge on those whom took away his freedom, he is a dangerous beast but he is in a cage.
Richard Johnson is now in peace in a quiet town in which no one knows him, it is so peaceful that he has doubts sometimes if it is possible for a town to be so peaceful. he tries to be of help to other people once in a while. he has learn the arts of fishing. he works in a breakfast place in the mornings and in the nights he tries to help the priest of the town. everyone in town really likes him and they all enjoy of his help and company. there are times in which he has nightmares about the group in which he was force to work but then he wakes up and he remembers that in the middle of nowhere he would never be found by anyone. one day while he was visiting the church at night he saw a pretty lady and since then he thinks and has dreams about her. of course he has his doubts because of his dark past but he wishes for her to accept his feelings.
that day in which Alexader McNamara visited her was the last time Martha ever saw him. since that night she never knew anything else about him for a while.
the Detective Darwin Fisherman has solve another case and he is thinking about taking a break from work. he is not the type of person to understand feelings nor let people get closed to him but he has developed a strange friendship with Martha. he doesn't feel love or anything mundane like that for her, it is just a pure friendship in which they talk to each other when they feel the need to talk to someone. he doesn't like to get closed to people but after the strange things that they saw together is easy to assimilate that is more simple to talk with someone who understands how twisted and strange is the world. the good detective Fisherman heard about a new case that might be related to "the Father Figure Killer" and he believes that this time he might find the evidence he has wanted to find for so long.
today was a bright day in which Martha wanted to visit the grave of Dolores. it was supposed to be another normal day with nothing out of the ordinary. Martha has wanted to visit the grave for a long time but for a reason or another she haven't visit the grave constantly. the biggest reason is her guilt for the death of Dolores and how she didn't trust in her. 
at that moment Martha was in front of the grave and for a moment she stopped feeling any type of guilt and she just closed her eyes. at that moment she could only feel the peace of the pantheon. when she opened her eyes again she was in front of Alexander McNamara whom she haven't seen in about a month.

"hello I thought that you had disappeared for a moment but then here I see you in the flesh and bones with a friendly smile and more alive than the last time I saw you. I hope that means good news in your language."
said Martha with a fake smile.

"I was just looking around a flower shop when I remember that last time in which he spoke and it didn't felt honest so I wanted to say hello and goodbye with an honest apology."
said Alexander with a small smile.

"there is something that I don't understand. if I am not wrong if someone dies before you they stay dead just how happen with Augusto whom died before me but you also died before me and you are here..... also for what Mr. Keene told me Augusto was supposed to be like me but he died so can you explain why are you here?"
asks Martha trying to find the truth.

"not only before but if they die at the same time that us they also stay dead. they have to die after and their death has to be related to yours or it won't work unless they are also cursed by the Judas' Chastisement effect. but you already knew that didn't you?"
said Alexander with a creepy smiled.

"you are using the same intoxicating perfume that you used that night and tha creepy smile is something that is impossible to forgot.... you are the one who saw me dying and who even said something about drinking my blood."
said Martha scared.

"there is something that the old man forgot to tell you about us and is the requirements we need to be cursed by the Judas' Chastisement effect or why we called it that and not something more possetive like the gift."
said Alexander looking at her while he is holding her hands.

"what are you talking about? why are you here? are you going to kill me?"
asked Martha whom had many questions.

"we called it that because those whom are victims of that effect are said to be "evil" well to be more honest they "born evil" or they had some sort of evil inside of them. you don't understand now but let's say that we are unaware of the evil inside of us. that is one thing that we all had and why we all are cursed also in the moment of our first death we commit an act of sin so is better for you to not see this as a gift because it is not, but a punishment. is said that the first man who suffered this punishment was Judas when he tried to killed himself he was punish in such a way that he would die many times before his death could become eternal. ever since then there were more people with that cursed and in every country it has a different name and many people called it however they want to called it but the ancient ones called it "the Judas' chastisement effect" in name of the first one in being cursed. now that you know the origin of the cursed is time for you to realized that you are not the victim but you are the victimizer of your own story."
said Alexander with pain while he is touching her hair.

"what you are telling me doesn't make sense how am I the villain or evil when I was the victim and was me who was attacked by the person in whom I trusted the most.... but what I really want to know is why me?"
said Martha pushing Alexander away.

"I understand if you don't want to accept the truth but there is something that I want to confess.... I never finish telling my tale. after she died I give up on life and I eventually found the secret organization lead by those whom were affected by the same cursed. I tried killing myself more than once until one day I saw a woman that looked just like the girl who died.... she, you remind me of her so much that I wanted you for me but then I understood that you two are different she was a pure girl and her death would always be the guilt which would drag me to my own personal hell but you unlike her are not pure nor good and you are more like me in your personal hell so I wanted to give you a push so you could realized just how twisted you truly are."
said Alexander looking at the sky with teary eyes.

"what are you talking about? I don't understand. you are insane and you need help."
yields Martha looking around of her.

"the girl and I we fall from a great height but we were still alive at the moment. we were dying but still alive. before we died I told her that everything was going to be ok but what she didn't know is that I knew I was going to fall, I wanted to fall.... I wanted to die so my father wouldn't suffer because of me and in the end it was she a girl with a future whom died that day.... one day I saw you and looking at you was like looking at her but what you didn't know is that I also follow your cousin and from his mouth I heard the reason why you were cursed and the real reason why he is cursed and wanted to kill you."
said Alexander with teary eyes.

"you are not making any sense. you have lost your fucking mind. you are a mad man. that is madness."
yields Martha on her knees looking at the ground.

"you are not Martha and you would never be her because you are Mariana, we all know that but what no one knows is that Martha's death wasn't an accident but you killed her on purpose and then you died but you came back to life. Raul saw it all, by the way did you know that Raul and the real Martha had feelings for each other. if you want to know why was he cursed well the most probably reason is that he was a witness of all and he said nothing or something else.... what matters is the truth that has been revealed in the last minute."
said Alexander looking at her with a smirk while some tears fall of his face.

"I never wanted to kill her. it was all nothing but a mistake. you undertand me don't you."
said Martha crying and looking at Alexander's eyes.

"does that even matter now. you wanted to know why? well now you know. don't get me wrong looking at you like this is heartbreaking but after all we are all the same even if the old ones like Mr. Keene want to pretend to not know anything or if they hide their dark past. well is getting late I must go now."
said Alexander looking at his watch.

"you think you can get away with the crimes that you commit. you frame Augusto for your crimes and now you confessed to me who you truly are. the cops would go after you."
said Martha feeling desperate.

"you are wrong. there is no evidence against me. all the evidence is pointing at Augusto, well I make sure of it and all I confessed to you was to be victim of the same cursed and to know your darkest secrets."
whispered Alexander in Martha's ear before leaving.

Alexander had left and he didn't had plans to stay in town nor to see her ever again. while martha was on her knees cying and asking for forgiveness to the sister that died. there was so much pain inside of her because of the guilt. the guilt would always be there and there is nothing that can change the past. there was no other way in which this story could had ended.
