* BolivianArmyEnding: Due to the series' cancellation, it ends on a ''massive'' cliffhanger, as [[spoiler: the nanites recruits President Davis, Colonel Truman, Neville, and ''many'' others, as part of a plan to eliminate TheEvilsOfFreeWill.]]
* EngineeredPublicConfession: How the heroes finally take down the Patriots: [[spoiler: after kidnapping President Davis, they're ambushed by Patriot soldiers. When Davis gets free, he flies into a rant about how he represents the true America, and how he's going to get Texas and California to wipe each other out for him. However, when he gives the order to have the heroes shot, it turns out that the "Patriots" are Texas Rangers, and the de facto leader of Texas is in the other room -- this whole scenario was a setup to provide Texas with undeniable proof that the Patriots were playing them, and results in Davis' arrest and Texas declaring war on the outnumbered Patriots.]]

It will be painful, debilitating, and probably permanently cripple you, but it doesn't have a major artery, as the chest isn't on the path to any limbs, and it certainly won't make you cough up blood, unless the slash across the chest also slashes most of the way ''through'' the chest and hits a lung.
