I just watched End Game and I am somewhat confused. Yes, the First Lady was the mastermind, but there are still a lot of loose ends. For example, whom was the President sleeping with? Who killed James Woods's character? If it was this Judith person, she is one very good friend of the First Lady. Also, such an elaborate coverup had to be set up by an insider other than the First Lady, which begs the question of why would he/she/they do it? Help clear up the plot tangles!
shareThe First Lady was po'dcause the Prez was cheating on her. She knew Fincher. She got Fincher to convince Stevens to help assasinate the President. Stevens got the other guys in the conspiracy also. The thing is the First Lady had to tie up all loose ends including Stevens. She knew Baldwin was in the hospital under watch and he would've been arrested and this may have led to his blurting out Stevens' name. Then if Stevens were caught she was running the risk of being found out. Fincher was her homegirl. That's why the First Lady didn't off her also. All Fincher had to do was convince Stevens to help out and then to kill him. See if Stevens talked, Fincher would've also gone down. And Cuba stayed alive, like someone earlier said, the First Lady asked him to "see things from where I'm standing", and he was so faithful to the Prez that he wasn't going to ruin his name by turning her in.
Wifey gets p!ss3d that she's being cheated on; talks to her homegirl; women and sex can get men to do stupid things; they do the job; homegirls clear their tracks.
About the checks, I don't think it was that the Prez knew he was going to be killed or anything rather than that lifestyle was going to be over. "In Memory" of those times when I was the President. When he gave Cuba that last check they were talking about how it would all be over soon...his term.
They say it's hard being a woman in a man's world, but try being a man in MY world.
Who was fincher? her lesbian lover? If so if the first lady had someone on the side herself why bother?And if she was so ticked off, divorce would have been more effective, destroying the man's credibility and costing him his reelection.
And I don't see CIA agents ( even rogue ones)go along with assassinating the PRESIDENT just because of a jilted lover!
Whoever wrote this script should haved rolled the paper it was written on and smoked the rest of the pot necessary to write it!
hehehe,no Fincher was just a homegirl not a lover. Wil, are you male or female? Understand it from a woman's POV. She dedicates basically her life to this man, maybe she let go of some of her dream's so her man can follow his. It's a sad story (as a female, although I firmly believe you should always back your man up, I think this should be reconsidered if it means letting go of your dreams), but the saddest part is that it DOES happen. And I totally agree with you, divorce would've been more effective. I would've divorced him, sued him for adultery and live off of his money for the rest of his days. ;o) BUT, some women aren't like that...I know you can think of a couple of women married to famous men that have been cheated on it does very little to their credibility, and other women (married to your average joe) aren't that...ummm...let's say they aren't that well in their head. Their rage blinds them and well "hell hath no fury like a woman scorned" (always loved that). Plus, she probably saw it as her being seen as the "widow" not the "woman cheated on". Anyways, how could she be sure it WOULD cost him the re-election...
I don't think the CIA agents were in it because of a jilted lover. Their "boss" to them was Stevens. They were corrupt from the beginning. They're motivation was money. I think Stevens was the only one that knew the First Lady was behind everything. Well, him and Fincher.
They say it's hard being a woman in a man's world, but try being a man in MY world.
I think your wrong about who killed Stevens.
It makes more sense that the first lady was the one who was sleeping with Stevens and she killed him. She was only screwing him to manipulate him into organizing the plot to kill her husband. Stevens gettin some from fishner wouldn't be enough to make him be a traitor to his country. But if he was in love with the first lady? That might be enough.
Stevens would also have motivation to kill the President if he knew that the President was having an affair with his wife! When Cuba Gooding Jr. talks on the phone with the woman the Presdient was having an affair with, pay attention to the woman's hair. According to the photograph, Stevens' wife has the same hair.
shareI found it with way too many loose ends as well. So who was the President cheating with if not Fincher. Someone said Steven's wife.
And what about Cuba's wife? They bring her in the story with pictures and never go back to if she is dead, divorced or what. The whole plot had potential but way too many loose ends.

I understand that Cuba didn't want to expose the first ladys plot because he didn't want to have the prez remebered for being a womanizer. Remeber when he was tlaking to the woman the Prez was sleepin wit and he said " i just want the prez to be remebered for the good things he's done" or sumttin like that. Ok cool but WHAT THE HELL DOES FINCHER HAVE ANYTHING TO DO WITH THE STORY. To say that they are home girls isn't enough. Even if they where why would Steven's get involved????? Don't make sense, was Fincher blackmailing him? I don't think so cause if she was why wouldn't he just kill her. I think Fincher is not important, i think that the first lady was sleeping wit Steven's because they never show her face eg. when The reporter comes up to see him and she asked who was that, stevens thinks then says Fincher, second when at his house when he was murdered they don;t show her face. I think the pic of Mrs Prez and Fincher was just to show the striking resemblance between the two. ALso if you notice they always focus on the First ladys hands, ( in the limo, at Stevens house, when Cuba confronts her.) But maybe i am wrong. I am still so confused!!!!!!!!

please educated yourself on the lingo first.
Wifey is not a wife. So calling the 1st lady his "wifey" makes you look like a wanker.
My guess is anyone remotely connected with the assassination was killed. The First Lady was like a mafia boss who had enough underlings to keep herself away from any suspicion. The killings were messy and the First Lady went about her business of being a widow who enjoyed painting.
