The Director's final scenes show that while he's committed unspeakable evils, he's reduced to a pitiable, pathetic, and broken old man who just wanted to bring the love of his life back from the dead, with not even his own daughter, who had come to kill him, able to find it in her to keep hating him. He eventually asks Carolina to leave behind a pistol, and shoots himself to end it all.
