* [[spoiler:DownerEnding: Let's see: Reiner and Westray are killed. Multiple people, civilian and criminal, are killed in the delivery of the drug shipment to Chicago. Laura is killed in a gruesome, NothingIsScarier manner off-screen. Her death is likely recorded as a snuff film. The tape is sent to the Counselor who has a DespairEventHorizon moment. He'll likely be killed soon after. Malkina, who set the whole plot in motion with the theft of the drug shipment, gets off scot-free and with Westray's money.]]
