Jesse reaches the dark alley several blocks from the burning house. The suppressed rifle and pistol remain beneath his coat as Los Angeles closes around the crime scene.
He calls the detective through the controlled channel. The connection opens amid sirens, and the detective hears Jesse’s breathing before the line falls quiet.
Detective Mara Velez
Jesse, do not come back here. My family is still inside, and this ends with you being found.
Jesse returns to the house, forces the detective into the vehicle, and drives him back through service streets. No one accompanies Jesse; the detective’s family remains inside the home.
At the dining table, Jesse secures the detective at the head chair beside his restrained wife and two daughters. The fire alarm waits above them, silent.
The room disappears behind a closed door and a burst of gunfire. In the aftermath, the detective and his family lie motionless, while Jesse shoots the alarm and leaves the house to the flames.
Detective Mara Velez
He has chosen a final act, and the city will remember every part of it.
“Jesse leaves the deceased family’s household and goes to the safe house that John cavier is still in.”
