Hi,
On the offchance anyone sees this question, I just want to know how the film ends. My VCR cut off the last ten minutes or so at the point where Virginia Madsen's character places the gun in the detective's hand.
Thanks in advance!

Treat Williams' character was not killed, he was saved when the bullet predictably struck the tape recorder in his pocket. Madsen's character asked him to leave with her. Treat declines, Madsen runs out of the house and jumps in her car, speeding toward the bridge that is under construction. Treat pursues her in his car and seeing this causes Madsen's character to risk crossing the bridge too soon, she is driving toward a large MACK truck and then she turns the wheel and drives off the bridge. Noone bothers jumping in after that fine piece of arse, and Treat turns himself into the cops who have appeared out of nowhere at the far end of the bridge.
shareVery good Telefilm. Madsen is strikingly beautiful and good. She reminds me of Lana Turner in The Postman Always Rings Twice (or Marilyn in Niagara!) The plot too is almost the same. But I agree with the comment saying that Treat Williams isn't as good as ... John Garfield would have been! He is 'absent'... I'm realizing that this actor in almost everything he does lacks something difficult to point the finger on but he never reached stardom as he should have... and maybe it is because of 'this'... He's good but... 'not there'... Too bad! Too bad for him and too bad for... us!
shareGee, thanks for explaining how he survived. I didn't even pick up on that but simply ignored the matter. (I was groggy.) That had seemed rather a large matter for the editing to have left open.
shareI didn't pick up on it either, and I also was groggy. I thought he took the tape recorder out to show how he had incriminating evidence against her.
