The Guilty is a 2021 remake of the Danish crime thriller Den Skyldige, primarily shot in a single location. The plot follows a demoted officer awaiting a court verdict working late shifts at the 911 call centre. He gets a call from a woman who says she’s being abducted, and the officer makes every effort to save her. Jake Gyllenhaal delivers masterfully and does most of the heavy lifting as he has more than 95% screen time. There are a whole bunch of fantastic actors who have provided their voice to the other characters in the film, Ethan Hawke being my favourite. Here’s the plot and ending of the movie The Guilty explained. While the film is pretty straightforward, I surprisingly received many requests to do an explainer article. The story is delivered only through dialogues, and perhaps that leads to some confusion. In this article, I’ve gathered all the pressing questions people are asking about the movie, and I’ve answered them in an FAQ style.

Why was Joe guilty? What did Joe do?Joe is a cop with anger issues, and he is quick to jump to conclusions about a person’s character. It’s made clear in the film that Joe misuses his position of power, leading to police brutality. Eight months ago, Joe happened to kill a 19-year-old kid because Joe plays the judge, jury and executioner. Joe used his own judgment to decide to end that kid’s life because he could and wanted to punish him because he assumed that the boy hurt someone. Joe is not even sure if the boy was really guilty of a crime. Why was Joe demoted? Why is Joe going to court? Why is Joe in trouble?Because Joe killed the boy, he has been going through a series of trials, and his final court hearing is set on the following day. As a result, Joe’s working as a 911 late-shift operator. Joe’s partner, Rick, who was a witness to the crime, has falsely testified. We don’t know what Rick’s statement is, but if I were to guess, Rick and Joe have stated that Joe shot at the boy in self-defence. With Rick’s help, Joe plans to lie his way out of jail time. Why is Joe sick? What is wrong with Joe?It appears that Joe is suffering from asthma, which is getting flared up because of stress and his anger management issues. This explains the inhaler and the throwing up at the end. Questions about Henry in The GuiltyWho is Henry? What happened to Henry? Did Henry die? Did Emily kill Henry?Henry is Emily’s ex-husband. It appears that Emily’s daughter, Abby, called Henry when she saw Emily cutting Oliver with the knife. Henry assumes Oliver is dead and forcibly drags Emily out of the house and into his van and begins driving to Patton State Hospital. Emily calls 911 from the truck, and based on Henry’s previous incarceration, Joe jumps to the conclusion that Henry has killed Oliver, kidnapped Emily, and will kill her too. Knowing nothing, Joe even tells Emily, “Henry deserves it“, and encourages her to hit him on the head with a brick. Emily does so before running away, and though Henry is badly wounded, he is not dead. All Henry was trying to do was to get Emily medical help. Questions about Emily and Oliver in The GuiltyWho is Emily? What did Emily do to Oliver? Why did Emily kill Oliver? What does snakes mean?Emily is a patient suffering from mental issues, and she was on medication and eventually got off it because she couldn’t afford them. As a result, her condition worsened over time. On that night, Oliver happened to be crying as usual, and Emily’s mind makes her believe that Oliver has snakes inside his stomach, and that is why he’s crying. So she takes a knife and cuts the baby’s stomach. This causes the baby to lose consciousness, and Emily thinks she’s fixed him. I believe she’s referring to the intestines as snakes… brrr. What happened to Oliver? Did Oliver die (Did the baby die)?Yes and No. Oliver doesn’t die in the Hollywood version of the film. The two officers who reach Emily’s home find Oliver unconscious. Based on what Joe hears, he assumes that Oliver is dead. At the end of The Guilty, a fellow officer informs Joe that Oliver is alive in the ICU. However, in the Danish original, Oliver dies when Emily cuts him and the officers find a deceased baby. Did Emily die? Did Emily kill herself?No, Emily doesn’t die. Emily realizes what she has done and that the blood on her shirt is Oliver’s. She heads out to commit suicide but decides to call Joe first. Joe is able to talk her out of jumping off the overpass. Joe confesses his own crime of murder and reminds Emily that there are people who love her – Henry and Abby. The officers confirm to Joe that Emily got off the overpass, and they have her in custody. The Guilty Ending Explained: Who is Katherine Harbor?Katherine Harbor is a journalist looking to hear Joe’s side of the case for her story. She’s used her connections to somehow get Joe’s personal number. The day’s events make Joe realize that his anger issues and his jumping to conclusions are putting people in harm’s way. While he considers himself to be a protector, he’s been recklessly using his authority – Joe took it on himself to kill a 19-year-old without finding out the whole truth or abiding by the law. Assumptions and misplaced anger almost cause Emily’s death. Therefore, Joe’s conscience can no longer carry his guilt along, and he decides to come clean and confess the truth. He asks his partner Rick to tell the events as they happened in the final court hearing. Joe then calls Katherine and tells her about the murder he committed. The ending of The Guilty tells us that Joe has been arrested for his crime. The Danish original simply ends with a shocked bunch of colleagues who overhear the lead confessing his crime to the lady on the bridge. What were your thoughts on the plot and ending of The Guilty?

Five Nights at Freddy's: The Silver Eyes is a 2015 horror mystery novel written by Scott Cawthon and Kira Breed-Wrisley.[1] It is based on Cawthon's bestselling horror video-game series Five Nights at Freddy's, and is considered by Cawthon to be separate (albeit similar) from the events that occurred in the game series, as well as his and her debut novel.
First edition cover
Publication date
Dewey Decimal 813.6Two sequels to The Silver Eyes, entitled Five Nights at Freddy's: The Twisted Ones and Five Nights at Freddy's: The Fourth Closet were released on June 27, 2017, and June 26, 2018, respectively. In 1995, 17-year-old Charlotte Emily (known as "Charlie") returns to her hometown, Hurricane, Utah, to attend the launch of a scholarship dedicated to her childhood friend Michael Brooks. Michael and four other children were murdered at a local family restaurant, Freddy Fazbear's Pizza, 10 years ago. Charlie's father, Henry, designer of the restaurant's animatronic mascots, was suspected of murder, and consequently died by suicide by allowing an unknown animatronic to kill him. Charlie reunites with her friends, Carlton Burke, John, and Jessica, to revisit the restaurant. They discover that it has been surrounded by a partially-built mall and locate a back route into the pizzeria, finding all the animatronics still in place. Following the ceremony to honor Michael, John tells Charlie that he remembers seeing a person in a yellow Freddy Fazbear costume on the day of Michael's death, suspecting that this stranger was the murderer. That night, Charlie and her friends return to the restaurant, further accompanied by friends Marla, Lamar, and Marla's younger half-brother Jason, who was only one at the time of Michael's murder. While playing an impulsive game of hide-and-seek with John, Charlie encounters one of the animatronics, Foxy the Pirate, who she was terrified of as a child. Recalling suppressed details of her childhood, Charlie remembers that Henry used to own another restaurant in New Harmony, named Fredbear's Family Diner, featuring two animatronics: yellow versions of Freddy and Bonnie. Charlie and John drive to New Harmony, where Charlie recalls the day her twin brother, Sammy, was kidnapped by someone wearing a distinct yellow Bonnie costume. This led to her parents divorcing and leaving the original restaurant. Charlie suspects Sammy's abduction and Michael's murder are connected. Later, the teenagers return to Freddy's once again, only to encounter the mall's lone security guard Dave. He had blocked their entrance and in their eagerness to see Freddy's again, they asked him to join them. Upon entering however, Dave unexpectedly retrieves a Spring Bonnie costume and kidnaps Carlton, witnessed by Jason. The group flee, informing Carlton's father, police chief Clay Burke, who suspects it is just another of his son's pranks. He invites the group to stay the night in his home until his son returns from his prank in the morning. In the meanwhile, police officer Dunn, is sent to investigate the abandoned restaurant alone but is murdered by Dave in the Spring Bonnie suit. Meanwhile, John and Charlie research Fredbear's history in the library, discovering a newspaper article on Sammy's kidnapping. A background check that Clay discovers reveals "Dave Miller", whose true name is identified as William Afton, was co-owner of both restaurants. Separate scenes with Clay reveal that Afton was the primary suspect in the murders, but no direct evidence could be found against him. Back at the restaurant, Afton has placed Carlton in a costume, which can be worn by both humans and animatronics through a series of spring-loaded mechanisms called "spring locks". These locks could be lethal if triggered whilst a human is wearing the suit. When Carlton asks Afton how he knows about this, Afton deliberately reveals unnaturally symmetrical pairs of half-moon cuts, first noticed by Charlie when they met "Dave". William Afton was the true creator of these horrible reminders of hell. Jason returns to the restaurant to save Carlton, followed by Charlie and her friends. They rescue Carlton - Charlie using her memories with her dad to release him from the spring lock suit - and promptly knock out and tie up "Dave". They force him awake with a water bucket and question him about the murders. He coldly refuses to speak until Charlie notices he's staring at the yellow Bonnie head. Annoyed, she places it over his head, where he begins to speak fluidly. He claims the suits are haunted by the souls of the dead children, and that they don't remember who killed them. He also claims that he will "walk over their corpses in the morning" - referring to the group - because the dead children see him as "one of them" while in his suit. Shaken by his answer, they attempt to leave the place, only to swiftly find that the animatronics – Freddy, Bonnie, Chica, and Foxy – are aggressive towards them. This becomes obvious as Charlie is chased by Bonnie, Jason is taken by Foxy, and is later hunted by Freddy, along with Marla and Lamar, all are chased by Chica, and an unknown animatronic nearly breaks down the security room door that protected both John and Jessica. The group eventually gets surrounded by the animatronics all at once, fully expecting they will be killed by them, but are saved when a fifth animatronic, the yellow Freddy suit (Golden Freddy) shows up. All the animatronics freeze on place. They all hear whispers from the empty suit; Michael's gentle spirit revealing itself. Clay then bursts through the brick walls with a sledgehammer, finding the group standing together and the animatronics frozen in place nearby. He begins to lead the group out to safety, but in a last attempt to do harm, Afton attacks Charlie in the Spring Bonnie suit. Charlie then activates the costume's spring locks, apparently killing Afton, and his body is dragged away by the animatronics, allowing the group to leave safely with Clay. The Golden Freddy suit disappears. The group quietly goes their separate ways, the book leaving off with Charlie going to a cemetery to visit two unknown graves, recalling happier times with her father. On December 11, 2015, Scott Cawthon posted a teaser on his website for an upcoming untitled novel. According to him, the novel was written "alongside a professional writer for the last ten months" and "expands the mythos", revealing "a human element never before seen in the games". On December 15, 2015, Cawthon revealed the title of the book. The book was originally called Five Nights at Freddy's: The Untold Story, but was renamed shortly after.[2] It was supposed to be available for Amazon Kindle on December 22, 2015, but because of an error in Amazon's system, it was released slightly earlier on December 17, 2015. The paperback edition of the book was published by Scholastic on September 27, 2016.[3][4][5][6] Although it was released to resounding success, Five Nights at Freddy's: The Silver Eyes drew criticism from fans, as they did not see connections between the novel and the video game franchise.[7] Therefore, as fans had claims of the book's lore conflicting with that of the games' lore, Cawthon replied that:
Quoting on how The Silver Eyes could be improved, Latin Post stated, "Perhaps, it is better if Cawthon will give in to the request of the fans and reveal some clues in the book. Five Nights at Freddy's is a game that one won't be able to finish easily. Filled with challenges and puzzles, it tests one's strategy to play hard and survive. Its difficulty level is something one should not undermine. That is why many are hoping to find the answers between the book's pages. Cawthon will be doing his gamers a favor if the book will explain some of the mysteries of the game. If he does, for sure his fans will love it."[9] On the positive side, Kevin Anderson & Associates complimented Cawthon and their very own associate, Breed-Wrisley on writing the novel. They commented that it had a "rousing narrative and animated pace" that "brings you into the main character, Charlie's world as she returns to her home on the tenth anniversary of Hurricane, Utah's most gruesome homicide." Ending the quote, they said, "The first in a three-book series, Five Night's at Freddy’s: The Silver Eyes has fans hungry for more. We are so proud of Scott and Kira's amazing accomplishment and look forward to celebrating many more in the near future."[10] The book spent four weeks at #1 on The New York Times bestseller list in Young Adult Paperbacks.[11] Five Nights at Freddy's: The Twisted Ones is the second novel written by Cawthon and Breed-Wrisley and is the direct sequel to The Silver Eyes. It was first discovered on Amazon in early 2017, sparking controversy on the legitimacy of the product. Later, Cawthon confirmed that the novel was in fact official.[12] The book was released early in some bookstores,[13] but was released publicly on June 27, 2017.[14] It portrays the main character, Charlie, who "had a new fresh start", but finds herself "drawn back into the world of her father's frightening creations" as she tries to move on from the events of The Silver Eyes, which takes place a year earlier.[15] The third and final book in the trilogy, Five Nights at Freddy's: The Fourth Closet, was released on June 26, 2018.[16] The novel takes a focus on Charlie's friends, who discover the truth behind Charlie's fate in The Twisted Ones, while mysterious events unfold after the opening of a new Freddy-themed restaurant. Both of the sequels to The Silver Eyes received praise from Kevin Anderson and Associates for being listed as number one Amazon bestsellers during their respective releases.[17][18]
