needed a better ending

I think it's supposed to suggest that he'll always be looking over his shoulder and that nothing has been resolved. He chose a life of extreme danger and no matter how hard he tries or who he kills, he'll never be free of it. His girlfriend or whatever was tortured (and raped?) nearly to death and flinches when he approaches, suggesting she will always carry the effects of his lifestyle on her, as will anyone else he chooses to surround himself with or care about. He hasn't freed himself of anything, and it's just a matter of time before it all catches up to him.
