Tape recording. SPOILER ALERT


Towards the end, when Bree and Cable are listening to the tape of their encounter, she realises he has in the past beat her up, and gets upset. He calms her down and says "i'm not going to harm you", "put your head down" etc. Then we hear her screaming, he's obviously hurting her. Is it implied in this part what he was doing to her? I wasn't following the end that closely...

That wasn't Bree in the recording it was Arlyn. Cable recorded his conversation with her after he'd been looking for her for 2 yrs. I think he recorded himself killing her.

Yup, exactly. The tape recording was Cable killing Arlyn. Horrible, huh?



See what a difficult situation you've created. Proud of yourself now are you?

Is there a clip of this scene anywhere? I love Jane Fonda's acting here. No words, pure expression. I tried on youtube, but I had no luck.
