End of Redrum
David Moss
few minutes late so I didn't see the end. Last I saw was that Joe was in
the cell, his narration just started .. and WHAM.. it cut out.
Can anyone tell me why he went to jail after all (lying???), and what was
his narration.
Thanks...

The same thing happened to me! I was doing the Tivo thing and when the TV
switched toi record The Practice (great serial killer on there, would be great
on X-Files), I lost the end of the show. My wife and i were watching intently
when it died about 5 minutes toward the end. The killer was about to cut his
wife's throat on the floor, she was screaming out to her husband and ...
My wife and I both screamed in unison as the screen went blue and said "End of
Program".
So, I shall be scouring the ng for the end of this one, and wondering why the
UI&@^#$ FOX is running their programing behind on Sundays. Is it a football
thing, or what?

order to pass along the ending. That's where I got the ending from, and anyone
who found their tape ended before the finish will find it as helpful as I did.
Many thanks to Lee Record!

>go to his house to find the killer who he can describe. He even has his name.
>John wants to know what the heck he's talking about. Martin says he can't

>chance. John asks: "A second chance to do what?" Martin says: "I prosecuted a
>man named Hector Ocampo. I suppressed evidence. See, he was innocent of the

>prison and his brother wants revenge. "It's as simple as that!" John says
>that
>he could be disbarred for what he is telling him. "You could go to prison."
>All
>Martin cares about is saving Vicky. John goes to phone the police. Martin is
>too impatient and leaves for his home. When he arrives, the police are there.
>Everything is okay, but Vicky is not there. He says that his wife is going to
>be attacked at 4:17. The cop says that it's 4:20. He says that they will keep
>an eye on the place and that they are only a call away. Shortly after they
>leave, he hears someone at the door. He grabs a knife from the kitchen and
>waits for the door to open. It's Vicky, and he almost stabs her. She asks
>what
>he is doing? He says that they have to get out of there right now. It's too
>late! Someone else is at the door. He tells her to go into the bedroom and
>call
>the cops. He turns to see the door is open. He looks for the intruder.
>Spider-man knocks him down from behind. They get into a fight and Vicky comes
>out to see what's happening. Spider-man grabs the knife and goes for Vicky.
>He
>rips her beads from her neck and pushes her down onto the glass coffee table.
>It shatters as she screams. Martin screams: "NO!" The spider-man picks
>Vicky's
>head up by the hair and is about to O.J. her when Doggett arrives and fires a
>shot into the man's back. Scully checks spider-man's pulse, but his dead.
>John
>asks Martin if this was the second chance he was talking about. Martin nods,
>yes. He sees Scully's watch begin to move forward in time.

>Three months later, Martin Wells is sitting in a cell at the Maryland State
>Penitentiary. His voice is heard: "The passage of time imprisons us not in a
>cell of brick and mortar, but in one of hopes dashed and tragedies unaverted.
>How precious, then, the chance to go back only to discover that in facing the
>past you must face up to yourself... that exiting the prison of time doesn't
>free you from the prison of your own character... one from which there is no
>escape."

>Critique *** (of five) Steven and Daniel tell a pretty clever story about a

>who is accused of his wife's murder. Time is running in reverse for Martin
>Wells, hence the spelling of murder being backward. He is the only one who is
>caught in the reverse time stream. So everybody else, including his friend,
>John Doggett, thinks he's playing them and looking for a insanity plea as a
>defense. All is well, even the plot device where it looks like he might
>accidentally kill Vicky when she opens the door. I was ready to do a lot of
>screaming if that happened, but the boys just teased us with that bit. I was
>quite ready to give this story a strong four of five (I know, what else is

>a

>it's your nature to be a certain way, that's the way you will be. Either
>Martin

Happened to me, too. I was so upset! He was struggling with Spider-man in
the apt., and bam, some soap I taped cuts in. Thanks to the follow-up poster
for snipping that detailed review and resolving the ending for me.
The actress who played the wife must have been on every Fox show by now.
