Contrived Coincidence: Butch drives down the road in the exact opposite direction Red and his group are going (see Surprisingly Realistic Outcome below), though it is justified in this case as they're both in the same area of the state, and they were bound to run into each other at some point.Cold Sniper: Agent Bobby Lee, who ends up shooting Butch from far away, and is completely cold and ruthless about it.Children Are Innocent: Phillip, which is one of the reasons why Butch won't harm him at all, even when he takes him hostage, and even after Phillip shoots him to stop him from killing Mack and his family.
