I think the girl survived and then visited the kidnapper whom the doctor said will not survicve the day. She then said that the butterfly methaphore is the other way round
huhu a bit puzzling at first – "how do you feel holding somneones life in your hand" after writing the amount of money on his hand, that was actually the phone number for the hostage ceo in the sinking car.
assuming the co didnt return the good favor to the ol man in a porper gesture the ol man repays the co thru the ceo in a horrid way. it reminds me of a season 5 in smallville Mercy episode wher the crazy staff did the same to lionel luthor of how his little game-corp killed many ppl lives, ignorantly. so some of u big unethical corp monster sometime good gestures will avoid u many troubles n probly even save ur pathetic life(s). so be careful when u execute those merciless biz moves u nvr know when ur karms'a gona come n get u.
