It's left ambiguous whether Willie intended to kill Sam from the get-go. He seems to imply it later on when telling Carl "I did you a favor," though that could be an after-the-fact rationalization, and it's evident that his immediate reason for killing Sam was that Sam grabbed the gun and they ended up in a death struggle. If Willie had planned to kill Sam all along, then it's quite possible he would have killed Molly if not for Sam's fighting back, to eliminate an eyewitness.

As a nod to Jacob's Ladder, the shadows that appeared to be dragging them away were angels taking them to rehabilitation in KarmicReformHell.

Because this may make for an interesting story, Willie and Carl would seem to have awakened back in their normal life, but things are not as they seem. Any situation they get involved in goes horribly and terrifyingly wrong, and designed to exploit their worst fears.
