** Really, all the squaddies' deaths since they're a spectacular aversion of EightDeadlyWords; by the time they roll up to the house, you want the survivors to make it through the night, and it feels like a kick to the gut when another one of them dies.

* Ryan reveals that he orchestrated the whole mission in the hopes of catching a werewolf, and using Wells's squad as bait. When he and Cooper give him a well deserved beatdown, he yells in anguish "they were ''my'' men!" - thinking of the three soldiers and friends he's lost.

* After the house explodes, Cooper takes a moment to clear his head, and the realisation hits him that Sarge has to be dead, along with the rest of the werewolves. He looks devastated that he's the last one left, and like he's about to break down.
* Megan's rant before her transformation is so hopeless and full of self-loathing. She believed they'd have a fighting chance and the soldiers could possibly save her from her fate. But now there's just three of them left, no way of getting out and no hope of surviving until morning to escape.
--> "Now you're out of luck and I'm out of time."
** It's strongly implied that she's not just an unwilling werewolf; she's trapped there, possibly convinced it's the safest place for her in spite of how horrible the Uaths are.
* Joe's death marks a real GutPunch. The comic relief and TheBigGuy rolled into one, and he bravely volunteered to hotwire the jeep to facilitate their escape. All he can do is FaceDeathWithDignity, and the others find a werewolf eating him when they think [[HopeSpot they're about to get out of there]].
** The subsequent scene shows how shaken they all are, and all Megan can do is solemnly play "Au Clair de Lune" on the piano as a tribute to the three comrades and friends they've
lost.

** And when Cooper finds out he was taken, he declares "then we go and get him back!", only to look shaken when Ryan says he's probably dead already. Even sadder with the above scene, when you realise he was still alive and could have been saved.



** And the scene earlier when Sarge quietly revealed to Cooper that he was becoming a werewolf and made it clear that he intended to go down fighting rather than succumb to the bloodlust.

* Sarge believes he's on death's door and weakly tells Cooper "squad's yours", knowing he won't make it through the night. Cooper can't answer, still in denial about the inevitable.
