So I had the same question. After re-watching the scene I believe it was the letter that triggered Scanlons realization that he’s going to die. The oil company promised him cash, but instead wrote him a check. Scanlons smart enough to realize that’s worthless to him regardless of the oil mans bullshit story. But when he gives him the letter, he realizes the guy doesn’t give a shit about any of them. He could’ve sent the letter weeks ago, if he wanted to. But it’s one last piece of garbage in his possession from these 4 idiots. So he disposed of it by giving it to Scanlon. That’s when Scanlon realizes… oh fuck, it’s over. I’m finished. I’m on my own now, and I’m either gonna die at the hands of the cartel, the crooked police, or the mob from the States will eventually find me. It was all for nothing. So he gets up, and asks for one last dance in his expiring life, knowing he’s a dead man.
