I don't really understand what happened to their characters at the end. Did Ormond's character testify against him in court or something? They were shipping him to another prison? Did the phone call at the end mean they will continue trying to see each other?
shareIm not sure about the testify bit but yeah they are gonna continue to see each other :]
I've seen the exorsist ABOUT A 167 TIMES AND IT KEEPS GETTIN FUNNIER EVERYTIME I SEE IT
Thanks for responding. I figured out what Julia said at the end of the movie. I turned on the captions feature on the DVD (Duh!) and she said: "I'll have to cross water to see him."
shareLol no probs :]

testify against him? where? for what? he wasnt going to court, he was being moved to another prison.
she was going to court because she shot the bloke in the cafe.
she obviously got off and the phone call was him calling her.
whats not to get about it?
I thought he was getting out and she was going to prison, the guy in the car says that the jury should see that she was doing them a favour which means she probably hadn't been tried yet. I was like crossing my fingers all the way through the film that neither one of them would get killed. :D

but he is wearing handcuffs in the truck and wasn't he sentenced for life???

No, he wasn't sentenced for life. In fact, he was about to get out. He explained that to her pretty early in the film. The moved him to London because his sentence was running to it's end, so they put him in short-term or something. That's also why they allowed him to get out once a week. That's why he was saying "I'm risking my liberty here", because if he misbehaved they could know him back a couple of years.
shareSpoiler alert: Just watched this and when Ormond is in the police car, she asks the officer: where are they taking him? And he guesses it will likely be Parkhurst Prison on the Isle of Wight. So it does not appear his release is at all imminent. I'm guessing the transfer is for his protection against reprisals from the gang that tried to get her to bring the package in.
I have seen enough to know I have seen too much. -- ALOTOshare
This is an old thread but for anyone still interested....yes he was sentenced to life in prison. That's what it said in the newspaper story that she read. But, as we all know, "life" does not mean life. He was about to get out of prison at some point, one supposes for good behavior, but when all this trouble erupted he was sent back to the other prison to serve the rest of his life sentence. You would also have to suppose that she lost her dental license and would never be able to practice her profession again, so she would have lots of time to visit him.
shareIt looked to me that in the end he was being released after his time in the Parkhurst prison on the Isle of Wight. He's in a suit- civilian clothes, riding in a van. There's a bag on the floor next to him in the van with "HRM" or something written on it, I assumed it was his personal belongings. I thought that meant he was being freed. And the phone call at the end was him calling her as a free man to come and visit her at her apartment.
