They escape into the snow-covered woods and take shelter in a disused bunker where Charlie tells Cook the only way out is for him to kill Louie, but having killed one man, he's reluctant. Seeing Charlie and Cook kissing, Emma leaves the bunker. The next day, Cook and Charlie find her body hanging from a tree; she has been murdered by Louie.
