Help


ok, it's been awhile since I watched this. Did they ever find out who the killer was and what his motives were??

Also, why did the detective get blown up at the end?

reply

the killer was the brother of the detective, all the murdering was result of a childhood trauma involving santa claus
at the end the bomb explodes, but it is not clear whether the detective died or not.

reply

yes, the killer was Giles the reporter. We find out he is the brother of Harris, the detective, and spent some time in a mental institution. On Christmas day when he was a child he was given a pocket knife as a Christmas present and then on the same day he saw his father dressed up as Santa Claus, cheating on his mother with another woman. The mother walks in on them during the act as well, they have an argument and the father pushes her down the stairs.
