Two more:

After cutting off the mobsters fingers and watching his bodyguard shoot one of them on the knee, the truth about the kidnapping and ransom comes out…almost. The truth really comes out on the boat in the tropics.

They make it to Mexico, but the button-man gets the girl back _and_ the baby and shoots them both, though the original bodyguards get gunned down along the way. (“Until that day, then.”)

Would perhaps read better if it went like this:

They make it to Mexico, but the button-man shoots them both (“Until that day, then”) then gets the girl back _and_ the baby. The original bodyguards get gunned down along the way and the bitch-wife ends up being pregnant.
