Uncertain Doom: the last we see of Cain, he's slumped against a trashcan outside of Horse and Jockey, apparently too weakened by all the injuries he'd sustained to do anything but laugh at his plan finally coming to frutition. His prospects don't exactly look too promising.

comment
Had to Come to Prison to Be a Crook: Before prison, Cain had a clean record and feels immense guilt over the manslaughter he caused, but by the time of the movie, he's a hardened killer though the problem is exasperated by him being constantly attacked by the other inmates because of the price his brother put on his head.

Never Bring a Knife to a Gun Fight: During the Bar Brawl, one of Lincoln's men draws a knife, and while he is able to stab Cain in the back with it, Cain blocks every other attack before killing the man with his own knife. In the end, Lincoln is quick to pull a knife on Cain during their fight, which Cain is equally quick to turn against him.
