They fight in between the swinging human flesh-Leon's knives against Mahogany's meat hammer-and human body parts are ripped, thrown, and used as weapons. Leon attacks the murderer with a knife, beginning a climactic battle between the photographer and the butcher. Leon enters the train as Mahogany has completed his nightly massacre, and has cornered a helpless Maya. Leon heads to the hidden subway entrance in the slaughterhouse, arming himself with several slaughterhouse knives, and wearing a butcher's apron. Leon, unaware of Maya's involvement, finally decides to put an end to the butcher's crimes. A police official then directs Maya to a trip on the midnight train. Maya goes to the police, but finds that they are as unwilling to consider her story as they were of Leon's. After breaking into the butcher's home, Jurgis is captured, and brutally killed. Passing out on the subway floor, he awakes the next morning in a slaughterhouse with strange markings carved into his chest.Ī concerned Maya and her friend Jurgis begin to examine the photos Leon has been taking of Mahogany, leading them to the killer's apartment. Leon takes matters into his own hands, entering the subway train at midnight, only to witness a shocking bloodbath, as the butcher kills several passengers, then hangs them on meat hooks. Leon's involvement quickly turns into a dark obsession, upsetting his waitress girlfriend Maya, who is as disbelieving of his story as the police chief. Leon attempts to turn some of the photos he has taken of Mahogany in to the police, but they refuse to believe him, and instead cast suspicion on his own motives in photographing the victims.

His investigation leads him to a butcher named Mahogany, whom he suspects has been killing subway passengers for the past three years. Leon is intrigued by the mystery, and begins to investigate newsreels about similar disappearances.

The next day, he discovers this girl has gone missing. One night, in a decision to break this trend, he saves a woman from a gang that is abusing her. He is criticized constantly by other photographers for fleeing danger before shooting a full reel. Leon is a vegan amateur photographer who wants to find unique spots of the NYC landscape to shoot, and at the advice of his contractor heads into the city's subway system at night. He wears a ring on his finger, adorned with an eight pointed star. He dispatches his prey wordlessly, and with an unnatural strength. He assaults and kills several people with a meat hammer and a butcher's hook. A well-dressed, barrel-chested man enters the New York City subway at midnight and stalks the late-night passengers of a subway train.
