Abby + the end (Spoilers)

How did Abby get free from the torture table? She looked tied pretty tight and she was SERIOUSLY f-ed up from the torture, so how could she be fine & dandy to go get the money? She didn't even have a friggin' limp.

That's a good question—how did she get free? Maybe Ben Kingsley's character set her free, but who knows why.

Later she was walking with a cane, so she had more than just a limp. ANd she likely spent a good deal of time in the hospital, which is why she had time to recover. Carlos was frozen in the snow, no one else went near that old church, so it's feasible that time passed an no one else found him.

I was also wondering how she knew exactly where to dig.

What am I trying to do?
What am I trying to say?
I am not trying to tell you anything
you didn't know when you woke up today.

Good point, Ex - presumably, a lot of time had passed until she was able to walk again. More snow would have fallen.
We have to assume that Jes(?) gave her a good idea where the body was, and that Abby knew about the money.
Carlos was going to rape Jes, but was he going to kill her? I assumed he was, but maybe he needed her to get the drugs thru customs. I considered the killing justified.
(the 'dolls' in her luggage seemed wrong. She surely would have noticed them. And customs would have asked her about them, too)

Jess goes to the hospital to tell Abby where Carlos' body was. After a long stay in the hospital Abby goes to the spot and takes the hidden Heroin or money.

No, I meant exactly the spot, not just the general locale.
Unless she was given exact coordinates or something, there is no way she would have found the body in the very first spot she dug.

The camera makes a cut after she arrives at the area, so it's possible she could have been digging in other areas.

Or she could have seen his jacket.

Presumably, Roy and Jessie would have told their rescuers about Abby's whereabouts. The train couldn't have gone very far - it was moving slowly in reverse - and the abandoned factory (or whatever it was) was just off the tracks. I think that the rescuers would have discovered Abby pretty quickly.

The movie leaves you to presume that Roy and Jessie were eventually able to tell the Russian authorities what was going on and they rescued her from the abandoned factory. It's not like Grinko had much time or opportunity to go back and kill Abby. He had to get as far away from there as possible before he could get caught.

She did have a cane in the last scene - and I assume the police found her and took her to the hospital. She didn't get there by herself.
