Martinez is still alive, and Brass claims that Martinez admitted that Morales gave him the order to cut his tendon before Martinez was killed. Murphy tosses Morales into the hole, severing both of his tendons along with Brass and Claire Howell. Murphy felt bad and admitted to Glynn that Brass, Howell, and he had sliced Morales’s tendons.
