Roman, Dante, and Cassidy stand before the crematory ovens for over an hour, watching the fires consume Getty and Splodie. Cassidy weeps as Getty's screams echo through the room; Roman raises the temperature beyond legal limits to hasten the process. Roman wrestles internally with his guilt, recognizing he is running out of room to bury his terrible deeds for the supposed greater good.

Cassidy reveals that Getty was never robbed of the Molly—he had cut it and sold it for double, refusing to share. Roman insists Cassidy must flee town immediately, because the Black Baron Boys believe she is dead, and if they discover otherwise, all of them will be killed. Despite her protests about wanting to see her mother, Roman convinces her, and Dante reluctantly supports the plan, secretly hinting to her that she might one day return.

Roman gives Cassidy a thousand dollars from the petty cash box and Splodie's car keys. He instructs her to drive to D.C., avoid contacting anyone, get a burner phone, and call him later so he can help build her a new identity. Dante kisses her forehead goodbye, and they watch her drive off into the night.

Roman and Dante then clean up: bagging the combined ashes into a hazardous-waste bin and mopping Splodie's blood from the floor until no trace of the killings remains. Roman wants them to go home together, but Dante refuses, desperate to get high and drunk to escape the trauma of having killed a man. He breaks free of Roman's grip and leaves alone in an Uber.

Alone in the oven room, Roman repeats to himself that this is not who he is, that he will fix this and return to Atlanta. He reflects bitterly that his father's saying—everything burns—is wrong: some things just end up in the gutter where they belong.
