  • Two people in two different scenes are hit by cars (we see then fly up onto the windshield), another person is nearly hit by a car, and a car tailgates and then hits the side of another car.
  • A child is lured into a van, then the door is shut and the child is presumably kidnapped; in a later scene, we briefly see the child's body being lifted out of a lake (we see a close-up of the child's arm, which has a large symbol burned/carved onto it).

  • A person is punched; a person slaps another; a person is grabbed and dragged into a room; and a person appears to be injecting another with drugs.

  • A bird flies into a window pane and nearly dies.
  • Some threatening with guns; also, a large knife is held to a child's neck, and in another scene, a person with a scarred face appears ready to stab a child, but nothing happens.
  • Smoke bombs are thrown through windows of a building; people inside panic and run, knocking down some candles that start a fire.
  • A building becomes engulfed in flames and starts collapsing, nearly hitting a few people.
  • A couple of times we see a bulletin board with a few police photographs of a bloody torso and corpses' arms with symbols burned/carved on them.
