We hear gunfire in the background of a scene and a man enters a room holding bloody wound on his abdomen, he slumps to the floor as a woman escapes and we see him shot again at close range; the woman is shot at as she runs away. A man shoots another man, two other men positioned in trees (he falls from the tree) and several people in a van and exiting a van (not much blood is shown because it is dark); another man is shot in the throat (we hear him gurgling and we see a lot of blood) and he falls off a pier, he is then shot in the back (he is shown floating dead in water) and a woman opens fire on the first gunman. A man and a woman shoot at each other, a grenade is thrown and the explosion sends the woman over a railing where she dangles over a long shaft and another man tries to make her lose her grip; he is pulled over the railing and we see him fall down the shaft slamming into the sides as he falls and he is shown laying in a puddle of blood on the ground later.

A woman holds a gun on two men, she hits one man in the face hard twice and he gurgles blood as he slips out of his chair and to the floor. A man riding a moped in a tunnel is grabbed off the bike and pulled into a van as it drives along next to him; the van continues and we see the man inside being punched and bound and a bag is placed over his head (we see his bloody face). Armed police break into an apartment and a woman holds a gun on two of them, they flip a table, she stumbles back and is shot in the chest with a taser as a man enters the room and fights the two officers, slamming their heads (both are shown with bloody faces and heads lying on the floor).
