Flynn, despite not being a real priest, blesses Miles and forgives him his trespasses right before he dies. The two eventually converge, Miles killing Billy before Rose, in a rage, fatally stabs Miles and is shot by Flynn.ĭarlene and Flynn tend to a bleeding out Miles, who begs for forgiveness for everything he did while at war, right on the Nevada-California state-line that runs through the middle of the building. Miles, as it turns out, is a Vietnamese war veteran who dispatches Lees' henchmen while Father Flynn (Jeff Bridges) fights Billy. First Emily is killed, then Darlene Sweet (Cynthia Erivo) inspires Miles (Lewis Pullman), the hotel's concierge, to snap out of his nervous breakdown and pick up a gun and help them. But the people Billy is dealing with aren't as easily manipulated as Rose was, and their resistance to his charisma and sociopathy gradually causes things to bubble up into a messy confrontation.
