What do you think would have happened... SPOILER

******SPOILERS******

.....at the end of the film if she hadn't gotten free and killed Nathan? Aside from the fact that I utterly hate what happens AFTER the climatic hotel room scene, I find myself really curious at what Nathan was intending to do once he'd killed Tom, her father.

Specifically, I'm wondering if he would have just let Fiona go, without harming her**. I wonder about this because throughout the entire film he shows no signs that he intends to make her one of victims; his intent is obviously for her to learn the truth. He also takes care not to physically harm her when he finally captures her. Most interesting to me though is that the murder of Tom is a complete break from his murder pattern. Neither Fiona or her father are offered a choice; Nathan just straight up beats Tom near to death then finishes him off. Also, since her mother choose Fiona's life over her own, it seems to me that Nathan couldn't kill Fiona because that would be violating the mother's choice and invalidating his whole system. It defintely doesn't seem like he'd kill Fiona to protect his identity; he deliberately gave her all the clues to discover who he was and knew she'd tell her father and the police.

So what do you think? Would he have killed her, or let her go? Do you think he was hoping she would kill him and put him out of his misery? Any other theories?

**physically, I mean. Obviously he's greatly harmed her psychologically by this point

I think he was wrapping everything up-- closure to all. The pattern was broken because he was completing his real goal and not just playing a game. He revealed the full truth to his half sister and killed the man who made his mother choose to give him up. I think after he killed Fiona's father, he would have likely killed her and then himself. (This time maybe he would have aimed towards his brain and not the side of his cheek.)

I agree with everything except I think he would not have killed Fiona, but would have killed himself.

I can't seem to remember your name, and please don't help me!

I think it's because Fiona is not the victim, so she is given no choice, and Tom was given a choice years ago: Raise Nathan or force his mother to choose.

My theory is this.

The movie would have been surprisingly good if the ending was not rushed and was explained more. Even thought Nathan didn't tell her father to choose, maybe in Nathan's mind, by yelling at the father to tell Fiona the truth, he was given a "choice" . He had to choose between telling her and not letting her know.

Just a thought that I am throwing around

Well, we learned that Nathan's daddy was sweet on Fiona - like he was on Fiona's mother. So my thought is Nathan should've given Fiona a choice:

Give head to him (Nathan, the guy with his own deformed scarred head) or to his dear old daddy, leacherous dirty old dude, but not deformed.

What do you think Fiona would've chosen???

I think he would have killed her or he would leave her for certain death.
The thing I don't get is - why Nathan ended up in a orphanage after his mother gave up on him? He still had a father, right? So why in the world couldn't his dad take care of him? I guess he wasn't such a weirdo then if Fiona's mother decided to sleep with him. And strangely enough Nathan never blamed his father for it not to mention that he let him live.

Even if Fiona's mom never told the guy she was pregnant with his child I guess he would find out sooner rather than later.

I really think his end game was more or less what happened. I think he meant to goad Fiona into finishing the job at which he failed. I also suspect that perhaps there wasn't an affair. I wonder if perhaps she was raped. It would explain the otherwise unnecessary "twist"as well as why the boy wasn't given to his father.

My biggest - huge - problem with the movie was that aside from the first incident, no one is given a *chance* to choose; there *is* no pattern! And even in that first case, his target was the father, so why traumatize the girl? And maybe she would have chosen Mom before he had a chance to let Dad tell her to kill him - something he could only assume would happen. If the guy's the s**t he believes him to be, he wouldn't have made such a noble request, anyway. His next two victims never choose, and neither Pendleton nor Dad are shown or indicated to have been forced to do so. Misleading title.
