Sam Worthington later manages to revive him by donating his heart to him. NOTE: In the film's original ending, Christian would have died from his injuries and Sam would have worn the former's face as a grafted disguise. However, this ending was heavily criticized after it was leaked online.

The film ends with Christian standing on the cliff end, having avenged the sexual assault on his daughter (Hadley Robinson) and appearing to prepare to jump off the cliff, in the same manner that Hadley had done earlier.
