Rafael, filled with anxiety, heads to a secluded spot in the forest, where he encounters a group of masked men. There, he hands over the murder weapon and Amalia's braid as evidence. In exchange, the leader, a man in a clown mask, gives him a suitcase of drugs and a new gun—a mission Rafael cannot bear to undertake. When he refuses, the clown threatens him that if he does not obey, his family will pay the price. The mental burden becomes unbearable. Later, the masked men discuss the events of the day, unaware that Rafael, unable to bear it any longer, has ended his life.
