Episode 3
The moment Jefferson had been waiting for had finally arrived. At the beginning of Episode 3 of Inside Man, his best friend Warden arrives to inform him that his execution date has been decided.
Three weeks after that date, Jefferson Greef was hanged. And now Warden has to explain the execution protocol from the thick binder he brought with him, but Jefferson begs him not to go through trouble. One day before, he will be moved to a holding cell called the House of Death.On his last morning as a free man, Harry thinks about the future. Mary, unable to sleep, comforts Harry.
They sit outside where Harry said he was driving and printing pornographic images all night to make it look more believable. Mary once again pleads with him to reconsider his decision as doing so would destroy his family, but he is determined and thinks this is the best way to protect Ben. increase.
A phone call comes in and Harry finally learns of Ed’s suicide. The police visit him at 2 o’clock that day to discuss his name on the letter. He goes straight to Janice, ignoring Mary’s vague, shock-induced suggestion that Harry has something to do with it.
Harry intends to make a deal with Janice, or at least do so, if the letter brought by the police proves that Ben is not a pedophile. He’s ready to go to her jail for assaulting her, but doesn’t see her son hurt if that’s true.
Janice is a clever cookie and sees Mary standing near the door trying to listen. She deliberately mentions some kind of “agreement” between Harry and her, sowing seeds of suspicion in the couple and trying to take advantage of it.
She confronts Harry when he shows up, but the Reverend pleads his innocence. This is something Mary only half believes. Ben says he will “study” by staying over at her girlfriend’s house after school and asks about Janice. Harry panics and, although Ben doesn’t immediately see it, he doesn’t notice that the handbag has been left on the kitchen counter. But unbeknownst to Harry, he realized it.
Morag, one of Jefferson’s accomplices, greets the returning Beth. Journalists initially believed she was a police officer because Morag showed her badge, but she turned out to be a criminal herself. Dylan reveals to Jeff that he was not executed on the scheduled day because he requested a Buddhist presence when he “died.” However, there was no law allowing him to be there, and the date of his execution was postponed indefinitely.
Jeff asks Morag to explain to Beth how he mutilated his wife after strangling her. He wants the impression of himself as a monster in Beth’s eyes. Morag has been sent to keep Beth safe. She is fed up with Jeff’s games and plans to go to the police.
The professor gave her great reasons to persuade her to stay. He also says Janice is a very smart person who understands people. Becomes stronger when you’re hitting a wall.
And there is an example in the next scene itself. Harry explains to Janice their idea of sending Mary on the phone to have the police listen to her. She tactfully asks him not to nauseate her, as it would be too traumatic for her, and the walls are soundproof anyway. But the next moment she banged her head on the pipes, making it look like one of her pipes had hurt her, and they both came to think the other had hurt her, which made Janice feel like she had hurt her. be advantageous.
The police arrive and Mary moves downstairs. Janice asks Mary to gag her, saying she may have her uncontrollable reactions to the police revelation. Oh, because she is such a delicate flower. Boom, conspiracy.
But Mary understands her. The conversation with the two detectives is rather awkward. They obviously know the pastor, but for some reason they feel he has something to hide. They showed him the note and he read it out loud, causing Janice to signal to Mary that she was about to scream – when she really wasn’t – telling Mary to call her her Gagged.
The two detectives aren’t convinced by Harry’s story. Harry is now suspected of protecting a pedophile. It is a scene that is exquisitely edited so that both simultaneous spaces intersect and you can feel the tension. The Professor confesses to Dylan that he is scared and uses his tactics to delay the execution. He then tells the warden that he will be happy to tell him the location of his wife’s severed head if the execution is delayed.
How does Janice trick Mary and Harry?
Ben turned his girlfriend down for the day and said he was going home. But he doesn’t tell his parents. Mary doesn’t want to risk it, she sends her email from her laptop. She also warns Harry to stay in his senses and that she does not believe anything Janice says.
Janice pretends to be respectable, giving the impression that Mary wants to kill her. Harry is convinced by her story and promises not to let her die. Mary goes to the garage where she keeps her old heater. But the problem is that it leaks.
In a closed room, having that machine turned on is lethal. “She will be warm, and her death will be painless,” Mary tells Harry, with a hint of defeat in her voice. Ben retrieves the key from the drawer and uses it to enter the basement.
Harry agrees with Mary’s idea and locks the house from the inside, not knowing Ben is there. He asks Mary to take a drive somewhere and ask him to finish her deed.He puts the heater in the basement but Ben doesn’t pop out. When Ben says the door is locked from the outside, Janice becomes concerned and fears this might be the cause.
Harry tapes down the basement and puts on Beethoven to keep the basement horrors at bay. Ben kept knocking and Mary called Harry incessantly to let him know her email was a trap. There is probably no meeting scheduled.
episode review
Great save by the authors! It was predictable given the limited paths the story takes, but the way it all happens breaks your heart.
The final montage is extremely dangerous given the personnel involved, and will probably make you grimace and gasp. On all fronts, you can see that the finale is built as an impressive conclusion.
The sudden mastermind syndrome the writers induced in Janice is jarring, but certainly a nice surprise.
Jefferson always gets overwhelmed by the pressure when faced with the “stiff”. The prospect scares him, and he’s not the infallible criminology expert we all made him out to be. He’s what Beth called him in prison. Mary’s tantalizing perception was a little naive. The woman has cheated on you before, so why does she believe her again?
They’re both smart people, but some of the decisions they made were bad. , should have been a little better. Well, this episode is what saves the Inside Man who so far turns out to be flat.
