[[folder: Mathilda's Father's Plan]]
* So was his plan to really to do nothing but wait for Stansfield to return and suffer his retribution? Not even leave the building for a few weeks and let his family take the heat? He didn't even sell off the cocaine that he stole, so no reason not to give it back to someone who'd clearly murder him over it.

** Also, this was 1994. There were no Amber Alerts. No social media or even news websites that had much reach. (The New York Times didn't even have a website until 1995.) If someone cared enough to report "another" drug killing in Pre-Giuliani New York (and it was '''bad''' back then)? It might have made the news for a couple nights at best. And it certainly wouldn't have been a lead story back then. It ''might'' have been front page news for a day or two after the killings. But Mathilda was hiding and judging from the shape of her apartment building and the hotels in which they stayed? Probably largely staying in neighborhoods where people were either apathetic, or knew better than to get involved in something like that. Witnesses and snitches were frequently killed back then, especially in New York.

** In the scenes we see, her family isn't just abusive and neglectful toward her, their relationship seems loveless. Granted, we don't know for sure since we only see them briefly, but it's a distinct possibility and would explain a lot of Mathilda's behavior. It's plausible that a girl who's consistently treated the way we see by this family would wind up despising them and act indifferent to their deaths. In ''Series/StrangerThings'', while Max's stepbrother is very messed up, we still sense some caring feelings between them (even his bullying seems partly an attempt at protecting her). It isn't the same situation.

** Kids often say outrageous shit. León probably had to explain this and maybe give the conscierge a nice bag-full of cash (given he has so much stashed by Tony).

[[folder:Illiterate hitman?]]
* If Leon was illiterate, how was he hired by Tony as a cleaner? Having an illiterate hitman doesn't seem to be a bright decision and it is quite surprising that Leon managed to survive for so long. What if he was asked to "Escape through the door which says EXIT" in one of his hits?
[[/folder]]
[[folder: Hotel misunderstanding]]
* How was Leon able to get away with the scandal Mathilda caused at the hotel they were living after she told the manager that Leon wasn't her dad but her lover? Saying so wouldn’t have caused serious problems for both of them? Leon could have been sent to prison and killed there, whereas Mathilda could have been sent to an orphanage or foster home and tracked down by Stansfield...

[[folder:Mathilda's lack of sadness for the death of her family (except her younger brother)]]
* Did anyone else find it a bit off-putting that Mathilda didn't even care that anybody in her family was gruesomely killed (save her little brother, whom she DID feel devastated about)? I mean, sure she may come from an abusive household, but they were the only family she knew and had. Plus, the fact that she didn't care at all that her older half- sister was killed (even if she was a bully)- I mean, even Max on "Stranger Things" was devastated when her bully step-brother was killed!
