Question about ending SPOILERS
There was not enough evidence to charge let alone convict Laurie with fire bombing Ed's boat, but clearly she could have been convicted of later attempting to murder Ed's daughter. Yet in the final scene we see her just "One Year Later" saling off with another old man, daddy-type boyfriend. No charges? No trial? No conviction?
Somebody's seen her. Somebody always sees a girl with $40,000.
