Ending Please!


I recorded the final episode of this excellent drama on a DVD-RW and missed the last five minutes - so could anyone tell me what happened after the shooting in the car park?

I usually give 5min extra for watching later on time shift but recorded only 1hr 2min this time - because I only had 1hr 3min left on the DVD. But overrun extended beyond that, darn it!

I've sent you PM.

I missed the final moments of INJUSTICE ... saw the scene in the undercover car park, heard the shot fired so was able to figure out what happened BUT then my recording space ran out after I saw a second or two of ocean/beach waves. I have trawled looking for clues as to what happened after that, found that William seems to have got away with "it" but would love to know the details.

Us too! Our set-top box missed the last few crucial moments!

The last bit we saw was the scene in the car park, then a shot of the detective sitting as his desk going through the other detective's (Charlie Creed-Miles character's) notes; then the set-top box cut off the rest of the episode!!

Can you, pipparobson, PM us re the last few moments??

Or of course anyone else who watched the last few scenes. A PM message might be best to avoid spoilers!

It would be much appreciated!

Nothing too specific to avoid spoilers, but ...

While going through the papers, the detective finds the print-out of Will's photo, no doubt planting a seed of suspicion for a potential sequel.

Meanwhile, Will & wife sell their country house & move back to London. He's about to take on another murder defence case where his client looks guilty & very nervous. I think we can guess his future prospects :)

SPOILERS
It turns into Charles Bronson's Death Wish. Purefoy administers his own brand of justice as executioner for the clients he gets off who end of being guilty. So, Purefoy character realizes Nathaniel Parker characer did kill Lucy. He realized this when he found out he was left handed and could throw - he went back and looked more closely at CC footage and saw a man hurling something into the river who was left-handed. It was the computer. He reflected that Lucy's death had nothing to do with oil or Eritrea, but that Lucy found out he liked child pornography which was on his computer. She confronted him and said she was going to the police. He killed her and this accounted for his timing. He went to diner to get curly fries and came back to hotel. He found out Lucy was looking at his computer and he killed her. He goes back out with computer and fries and disposes of computer and goes back to hotel with fries and then makes himself known to hotel reception and guy in elevator. So, the unaccounted 15 minutes now made sense. Purefoy reflected on first wife's statement that her personal life with him was personal and implied he had some kinky sexual requests she couldn't satisfy. The abrasive detective fell down the steps and died and the assisting detective searches through his stuff and finds the Purefoy photo. So, that was still open ended. Purefoy managed to get the disposed computer through the dredgers - this was ridiculous - and confronted Parker character in garage and shot him. His body was missing. I guess this was going to be the start of a Season 2 but it was so ridiculous, I am sure this is the reason it wasn't renewed. All you were thinking, as an audience, was don't represent criminals. But maybe the writers were thinking along Dexter lines. The guilty meet their fate.

It's a good mini series, interesting plot, enough mystery and the tying up of loose ends. But yeah, the ending where he killed Newall was over the top.

Why doesn't Travers take up prosecuting clients he perceives as guilty instead of defending a murderer, getting them off and then executing them? He'd get caught in a heartbeat.

Imo, killing the animal activist could be put down to Travers having a nervous breakdown, but the rest? Meh.

reply

Yes, but the breakdown is what led to his visions of the little boy who was killed. I would say he never fully recovered, because the boy tagged along on the other case, rather than showing up only relating to his own.

Hahaha, good point ... but then, if he did not get a conviction he would have to go out and kill them anyway, right?
