* EverybodyDiesEnding: [[spoiler:When Carla, Elisabetta, and Lorenzo are the only ones left alive, the latter holds the two at gunpoint and forces Carla to go fetch the spark plugs for the motorboat. After getting the plugs, Carla tries to make a run for it, so Lorenzo raises his gun to fire at her, but Elisabetta tries to fight and distract him. He eventually wrestles her off, shoots her, and chases after Carla. While he's hunting for her daughter, a wounded Elisabetta manages to climb into the boat and knock over a gas cannister, spilling fuel all over the floor and essentially making a trap. After Lorenzo guns down Carla, he goes back to the boat where he fixes the motor and tries to start it, triggering the trap and dying in an explosion. A still-alive Carla watches the explosion and succumbs to her wounds. End credits.]]
