So, I couldn't bring myself to keep watching this trash. I'm a little curious as to how it ends, though, so if someone would be so kind as to tell me who did it and what the final twist was, that would be great.
shareWell, I only caught it halfway through the second episode but I guess that's all you're asking for. Of course, it turns out that Martin did not commit the latest crimes. It was Nora, who was supposed to write some article with Betsy that turned out to be Samantha Reardon, the one surviving woman from the previous crimes ten years before. Betsy had taken herself off the case when she found out he managed to squirm himself out of getting prosecuted last time. So Nora/Samantha (currently insane) kills Betsy's husband Rick and kidnaps her daughter. Then she comes to Betsy's house and tells her she has to take the case up again and lose so that Martin can suffer, otherwise, she would kill her daughter.
Then in court, the prosecutor reveals the deal made with the governor on the previous case and Martin freaks out thinking it was Betsy. So the two of them go into the jury room to discuss it. Then, crazy woman comes in with a gun she pulled from a security guard and locks them in the room. She has a syringe filled with paralyzing drugs to use on Martin. To make an already long story short, Betsy gets a hold of the gun and Martin gets a hold of crazy woman. Crazy woman gets loose and plunges the syringe into his chest. Just then, security forces the door open, Betsy drops the gun, and crazy woman picks it up and shoots herself in the head.
Meanwhile, following a lead, Reggie finds the house the daughter is being kept in. Of course, she's not dead, just drugged temporarily but no pemamnet damage. He arrives with her just as Brook Shields comes out of the court house. Tears of joy abound...
And the other cop, Nancy Gordon, who was being held in the barn was found dead by Reggie before he found Kathy.
It ends with Betsy going to visit Martin in the hospital. He's lying there attached to the ventilator, can't move but can hear and understand everything she says. She gives him a piece of her mind and walks out. The last bit is just a slow camera pan out on him. Freaky.
Hope this helped!
i just read the book, and let me tell you, the ending is COMPLETELY different.
Be who you are, wear what you want, just learn how to run real fast.

This actually "is" trash... but that doesn't mean a person doesn't want to know whodonit
Muder Mystery sells because of that question... not because of having a good story.
The book may be a good story, but if it is in anyway similar to the telling of the film it has a horrible story.
Flashbacks are a convient way of avoiding telling a good story. Do you not notic that flashbacks usually end up turning into a full blown mini-movie with little nararration, if any? By skipping all the borring scenes the story loses coheasion... and by supplying utterly random filler scenes the story loses credibility... then by jumping to "confirmation scenes" where one character simply repeats what was said in another scene, the story loses all dynamics.
This is very bland... blame the script more than the actors but... it is VERY bland.
Remove the damn flashbacks and FOLLOW UP. Don't tell a story, BE the story... that means don't show a scene of an actor trying to look like he is crying and "be done with it" actually interview an actor trying to look sad so we can at least laugh at his pathetic attempts and realize what she was saying.
And pull in some melodrama at least... hell, make this a comedy (the movie is so unwatchable)... go all young frankenstien with it :p
Interesting...
The last section is much better (or at least the last 30 min), meaning that NOTHING in the first section even matters (I also learn the creep I pegged to be the real murderer WAS the murderer... based off of 30 sec of footage... (him looking at his "conquests" photos) horray for hollywood being stupid).
but it is filled with so much stupid that it's absurd.
So this attorney finds out that people who signed a document letting a serial killer/torturer go free became rich and successful... that is, they became rich for no reason other than giving her motive to check them out.
We also get to see two police officers CONDONE the rape of another officer. (Yes, they actually were getting HORNY over that officer getting raped) [and dryhump is still rape... fyi (and it also leaves forenic evidence [the discharge has to go some-where])]
And then... we learn that people don't know how to practice medicine. It would appear she injected him in his lungs. Let alone the cardinal truth of medicine:
Anything that has a permanent effect has a higher chance of killing you.
Paralysis by chemical injection will always "expire" after the chemical leaves the system.
Paralysis by nerve DAMAGE can continue indefinatly, but if you inject randomly (such as into the lungs) you're going to need a very STRONG and POTENT chemical (oh, and paralysis of the lungs == bad).
And for those who claim that was the heart, well paralysis of the heart == WORSE.
But eitherway, she should have been doing a direct spinal injection... destroy only the nerves she wants and leave the automonous systems alone.
But there is a lot wrong here. Police Holsters are designed SPECIFICALLY to be omni-directional. There is only one way to remove the gun and it is very hard to do it even that way.
The woman dying of starvation or what not (She can live upto a month under pure starvation... but since there was plenty of food around [everything from wood to hay can be eaten] her only problem is water.
