He then breaks into Crawfords house and confronts Crawford (who saw him on the CCTV and triggered the alarm), wearing Nunallys gun. The catch here is that the shells of the bullets reloaded by Crawford into Nunallys gun have Crawfords fingerprints on them.

After he is finished Beachum opens the drawer where Crawford keeps his gun (which is shown empty) and tells him that Nunallys gun is actually at the lab - a second alternate ending which basically is the same as above except for some of Crawfords reaction to Beachums explanation and the arrival of police officers to Crawfords alarm
