Continuity mistake: Before the dreadlocked man starts looking at the vinyl records in the apartment, he places his uzi down with the butt facing the camera. In the next shot the barrel is facing the camera, and switches back again in the next shot.
Leon (1994)
Ending / spoiler
Directed by: Luc Besson
Starring: Gary Oldman, Jean Reno, Natalie Portman, Danny Aiello
Mathilda becomes overwhelmed with killing Stansfield, but she ends up getting captured when putting her plan into motion. Leon rescues her and kills two of Stansfield's men. Stansfield decides to go after Leon, by using Tony to find him. He orders a large crew of police officers to grab Mathilda outside Leon's hotel room, and use her to get to him. Leon kills many of the officers before deciding to get Mathilda out alive. He sneaks her out through an air vent, and dresses up as one of the dead cops so that the other cops can take him downstairs. Leon literally walks out of the hotel unnoticed, but as he is leaving Stansfield appears behind him and shoots him. Leon delivers a message from Mathilda to Stansfield by pulling the pin on a number of grenades attached to his chest, blowing both of them up. Mathilda goes to Tony to get her money, but she always wants a hitman job. Tony turns her down. She then goes back to the school that she ran away from earlier and plants Leon's much-loved plant in the front garden.

Trivia: In the shot outside of Tony's restaurant, before the scene where we see him celebrating his birthday and being interrupted by Stansfield, you can see someone walking past the restaurant. That person is Luc Besson, the director of the movie.
Answer: No specific reason is given; it's most likely intended to highlight that her family are bad people (they are drug dealers after all) and to show in contrast that Mathilda and her little brother are not, so we feel badly for them.
