Time: 10:15

Summary: Hank is the cold-blooded type. Jacob returns to find Carl and Baxter dead. Jacob then insists that the lies end and they confess it all. Hank refuses. Jacob, unable to live with the guilt, offers an ultimatum of committing suicide or having Hank shoot him and making it look like Baxter did it. Hank shoots him. Totally clear of any suspicion, Hank is debriefed by the real FBI agents, who congratulate him as a hero and tell him that the serial numbers of the money they found were recorded so they’ll eventually catch the thieves. Hank burns the money. And Hank and Sarah try to live normally. So the movie ends.
