Why was Paul allowed back into hospital?



OK,, So first Paul stole Sam's corpse from her hospital bed. Fine, it's sorta believable...
THEN I saw the scene where the po-po's showed up at daddy's doorstep (before he was killed) probably thinking he stole her bod. Fine, I'll buy it...


Here's my issue:

Why in the F was Paul free after Sam was killed AGAIN by the fuzz?? I'm sure, in the movie, the characters were thinking "why in the ____ is this b_tch STILL running around assaulting people????"

And in the last scene where the Doc is asked by the coroner if he'll be there for the autopsy, he says "I'll be here. This should be one for the books" implying he knows what happened, or AT LEAST that Paul was involved.

Soo.... Why was Paul not in police custody?? Why was he free to sneak back into the hospital to visit Sam once again??? Ya know, before she became an evil BB and snapped his neck....


There are other legal discrepancies I saw, but cannot think of at the moment. It's been a long day, and doggone it, I needed some gin & tonics.

Thought about that too, as i saw the movie again yesterday. But in the other way, that could be a simple reason. Maybe he wasn't in custody and instead he was just "under the eye of the police" and was grounded. He tricked the police in some way and thats it...

Just one theory.

from others that have viewed and suggested, it was a dream sequence. a BAD dream.

Maybe everybody was have to chase HER around to bother dealing with Paul. Maybe they felt sorry for him

A very bad dream all right!

Yes usually the police will keep an eye on someone they suspect in committing a crime. He might have shook them off his trail going to the hospital.

Yes you do have some valid points about the body being missing and that the police would be out searching for it. Some how it was not written in the film as to why Paul was running around with a dead body on him. Plus, if Sam was killing people they would think something was up with that.
