Release

Doggett's almost there when a shot ricochets through the air. Doggett races outside to find Regali dead on the ground, shot straight through the eyeball. A woman is screaming. Doggett turns. Behind him is DPB, still holding his gun. DPB's face is splattered with blood. He's twitching. It's a good look on him.

The final title card: "Release." Doggett and Barbara stand on a clearly Californian beach, the surf lapping over their feet. Doggett holds up the box of Luke's ashes, and lets the wind carry them into the ocean. Barbara wraps her arms around Doggett, her face puffy with unshed tears. Doggett's face is incredibly sad. They watch as the final remains of their child disappear. Barbara untangles herself and walks away, head down. Doggett stares into the horizon, tears teetering on the edge of his lashes. Finally, he turns and walks up a small hill to the car, where Moronica is waiting. He looks at her for a long moment and then pulls her into his arms for a long, tight hug. Behind his shoulder, she closes her eyes. Sniffle.
