The ending also sees that darkness is only the tip of the iceberg, but it exhausts the protagonist representing justice. There is also kindness in the dark, such as the cousin of the girl who was raped, but unfortunately it doesn't seem to change anything.

    Stan Gursky: Which one?

    Alonzo: One of my old ones, my first one. The guy's a high security risk anyway. If I'm not around, who's gonna help keep him off the radar?

    Stan Gursky: All right, it's your call. I do not want you to dick this up. I don't want to see you on the front page like the rest of those assholes.
