In the end...
In the end, who did he call? That journalist who called earlier in the movie?
shareUp to interpretation, but I believe he called his buddy to let him know he’ll confess everything tomorrow.
shareHis wife Patricia who had just left him.
shareUp to you. I figured it was his wife.
The symbolism of him walking out into the daylight seemed to signify going towards something better, a better, brighter future. Calling the partner would not have aligned as much with that symbolism as calling his wife. Also the emotional support and comfort that he clearly needed at that point would not have come from his partner, but rather his wife.
