few questions


ok, i was just a bit confused about few things in the ending part.
First, did the boyfriend get caught or just chicken out turning them in, while she was helping Mannigan escape from the truck? Secondly, how the hell were they out robbing a jewellery store after drowning in the car with the police all over the place?? Someone smarter, please help me!

Ok, before breaking Newman out of the prison bus the wife phoned her husband. She informs him that they need to help Newman to escape, he realises what she is about to do and knows that they are going to be in serious trouble. It is at this point he decides to strike a deal.

In regards to the escape, the wife isn't actually in the car anyway as she is running around in the forest with the bags of money. Newman reverses the car out of the house as a distraction. He then deliberately drives it into the river, before (and we have to assume this bit as we never see it) making good his escape. They presumably then meet up at a prearranged point. The police couldn't get immeadiate access to the river and didn't have the equipment on hand to facilitate such a search. In addition they probably weren't prepared for them to attempt an escape.

Hope I've cleared it up for you.
