Always Save the Girl: Sullivan is somewhere between this and Chronic Hero Syndrome. Despite explicit orders not to, he goes in to try and interrupt what he perceives to be a kidnapping. He gets killed for it.

Alas, Poor Villain: Emily, whether you view her as such or not, did everything she did in desperation to save Rose from Billy Lee and it ultimately wasn't enough in the end when she's killed and Rose has almost no reaction to it. Rose is a victim of abuse and later falls under the sway of a cult leader, which turns her into a remorseless and sadistic murderer.
