Now, I've heard numerous people share their frustrations over this ending - claiming it's a non-ending and a cop-out considering there was no closure. The game ends with a flight out of Shanghai and a phone message from Kane to his daughter. "If I keep killing, I can see my daughter again." Does he really want to see his daughter, or similar Lynch's relationship with Xiu, is it just a means for Kane to keep pulling the trigger? Kane's daughter is a simple excuse for murdering countless people. It doesn't make much difference because, in the context of Kane & Lynch 2, a backstory isn't needed. She's also undoubtedly traumatized by the experiences she has with her father. For those familiar with the original Kane & Lynch, you might recall that Jenny was grievously injured at the end. Kane & Lynch 2 alludes to Kane's relationship with his daughter a fair amount of times, specifically Kane's interest in completing this job in order to get back to her. Shoot first, ask questions later, hopefully live to see another day. Kane still intends to complete his arms deal, and Lynch probably has some inclinations at revenge, but both of them likely know that nothing is going to work out from here on.
His delusions eventually cause her demise. Does Xiu even relize? Does Lynch's know the danger he's putting her in, or does he care? As Lynch begins his murderous rampage, he continues to believe Xiu will wait for him, will love him. Even before the game begins, it's implied that Lynch continues to take part in the seedy underworld of Shanghai. Naturally, it's not long before Lynch has to sabotage it. I'd assert that the man is absolutely incapable of love in the first place, his relationship is an act where neither participant is willing to admit the truth. The underlying metaphor quickly becomes apparent: Xiu is Lynch's idea of normalcy, but Lynch is programmed for chaos. Lynch constantly yearns for Xiu, demanding that he and Kane reach her apartment complex to make sure she is safe. Ignoring the question of how a psychopath like Lynch could form a relationship with any person, the game does an interesting job at portraying Lynch's need for his lover Xiu. The most intriguing portion of Kane & Lynch 2's storyline was without a doubt Lynch's relationship.
