Revealing mistake: In the scene where Cully injects Sonny in his back, you can see that just just after he pushes the plunger, the spring mechanism moves on the inside of the syringe. He is not actually injecting Sonny, but the needle retracts on a spring loaded mechanism into the syringe. (00:14:40)
