Things that Didn't Make Sense/Questions


1. How was Roulet's mother able to get into Mick's house?

2. If Roulet and the woman had met up for sex before, then why did she give him her # and address in the bar?

3. Why did Mick's wife tell Roulet that their daughter would be at a soccer game the following afternoon and that Mick would be home at x time?

4. Did Roulet go to the Association bar just to pick up girls?

5. Was what caused Roulet to be arrested at the end for murder what the jail house snitch said about the tattoo on the victim?

6. How did Earl get Mick's gun back from Roulet near the end?

7. How did Roulet's knife play a part in the attack if he only beat his second victim?

8. If Roulet is wearing a tracking device, why would he be stupid enough to break into Mick's place?

Thanks.

1. Doesn't matter. Clearly she has no scruples. She may know how to pick a lock or have a shady locksmith working for her.
2. Did they meet for sex? I thought she said in court she had seen him meet other people, but it was her first time with him.
3. I didn't get the impression she did. Maybe I missed it, but I got the impression Roulet has spies...which is easy if you have money that he does.
4. And beat them up? Apparently.
5. There was evidence against him for the murder that the innocent guy got life for. As the assistant said, there was a parking ticket for Roulet outside the earlier murder victim's house on the day she was murdered.
6. He didn't. That was not an antique collectible. That was a new gun off the street.
7. It was there, it was distinctive, and it tied him to the location. It didn't play a part in the attack, but it played an important part in the story, linking back to real estate as well as the mother and the earlier murder.
8. Because it's not worth it for Mick to lay charges on him for that. That woudl be like poking a sleeping pitbull. Mick needed to get him for something more substantial.

Good to see I'm not the only person who sometimes doesn't get the obvious things.

1. How was Roulet's mother able to get into Mick's house?
- Not sure. Don't think it matters though.

2. If Roulet and the woman had met up for sex before, then why did she give him her # and address in the bar?
- They never met up before. Where was this said/implied?

3. Why did Mick's wife tell Roulet that their daughter would be at a soccer game the following afternoon and that Mick would be home at x time?
- She didn't. Mick was on the phone with his ex when he walked up to the house and Louis overheard their conversation.

4. Did Roulet go to the Association bar just to pick up girls?
- Yes. That was stated.

5. Was what caused Roulet to be arrested at the end for murder what the jail house snitch said about the tattoo on the victim?
- That's why the dickhead detective from earlier was subpoena to be at the court. That detective worked the case and knew about the tattoo.

6. How did Earl get Mick's gun back from Roulet near the end?
- That was not Mick's gun. He got him one to protect himself. Mick's gun showed up at the end when Louis' mom used it on him.

7. How did Roulet's knife play a part in the attack if he only beat his second victim?
- He was going to kill her before she whacked him in the head. I'm going to go with her version of the attack was what really happened.

8. If Roulet is wearing a tracking device, why would he be stupid enough to break into Mick's place?
- Good question. I think that could have been used against him.
