I can understand the pedophilia sentiment, I mean snuff would have a disturbing affect on anyone, like two hardened hitmen like them, but the fact he was a father and he reacted so intensely with a sense of sadness and anger, and the fact the rivet of the final killing was his own son, showed to me that he what he was seeing was a child being tortured, and since The Librarian was implied to being part of the cult, I could understand him doing what he was doing to children. But as you said, the director claims it was a women screaming, I'll need to watch it, but I've noticed he has known to be cryptic in his commentary's, in the tunnel sequence I heard he says "There goes Gal, shooting off when he doesn't understand something" in a round about way of referencing Gal's Christian posture throughout the film, he's the one who wants to prey, he's Irish, and they mention The Troubles ("The whole Irish thing, I mean it's all the same religion anyway" - "eh, not really love") a conflict that was a Christian-charged conflict, as well as a political one.
I feel like maybe he was trying to throw off his audience, some directors are known to do that since they hate giving answers, some of them do anyway since conclusions are more interesting when they come from the viewer. But eitherway, as a Father and a professional hitman, it was interesting to see him take all his anger and effective knowledge and means on the human body and his own brutality out on these men under the impression that he saw a tape that reminded him of his own son, an irony as he'd be utilizing the same brutality in the final ritual.
