- Luke's death scene.
- When De Luca forces his way into Romina's home to steal Luke's take, and everybody has left the room except for Romina and Avery, she recognizes him as the man who killed Luke.
- Near the end, when Jason has Avery at gunpoint in the woods, Avery breaks down, believing that Jason already killed his son. The viewer doesn't really know any better either.
