Brandon follows a trace of the scattered bones of small animals and eventually discovers the body of Selina. Before he could react, a truck arrives to the scene of the crime, and Steve emerges from it. When asked for his reasons for being there, Steve produces a gun from his truck intending to kill Brandon for the murders. Unfortunately for him, Alain arrives and saves him.

In fear, Brandon tries to leave with all of the tapes, he gets into a scuffle with Reese. This leads to Brandon getting possessed by the Windigo, but it also ends with the Windigo seemingly perishing due to exposure from fire. Reese proceeds to knock Brandon unconscious and load him at the back of the truck.
