[ivor4781]

why was the guy in the shower (end of prog) screaming , i know his tablets were swapped for some kind of speed and him being jewish would be against pigs blood, but why the screaming,did i miss something,great series anyway

[emmie]

don't know but it freaked me out.

[Svejk]

I was only 'half-watching' it, but was it empty acid bottles in the back of his car?

[Svejk]

if I remember i'll watch it properly tonight.

[bibblebub]

here's a synopsis http://www.imdb.com/title/tt3519062/synopsis which suggests that he just freaks out because of the combination of circumstances

[ivor4781]

thanks bibblebub,the link explains things right up to the part i'm questioning .lol cheers anyway,i'm still as wise

[emmie]

so Lorne swapped the blokes tablets for Adderall, and induced a psychosis,
is that it, i didn't like it at all i confess.

[bibblebub]

I didn't watch it but if Stavros has unknowingly taken mind altering drugs then wouldn't he readily be freaked out by something like the blood coming out of the shower?

[Svejk]

I presumed he swapped the shower water for acid and that's why they zoomed in on the empty containers in the boot of his car. like I say, I was only 'half watching it.

[Svejk]

lol. it was blood, was it?

[Tilly2]

It's hard to believe that this is a true story!

[jno]

is it true? I remember the film was advertised as true but nobody's ever found a real event that was anything like it.

[bibblebub]

this is a tv series based in the world of the film, that's all, not based on real events

[emmie]

but the blood was coming from top of his head down entire body, as he was standing in the shower, if that was real acid that wouldn't happen surely

[emmie]

at the start of the programme it says this is based on a true story..

[Tilly2]

There was something at the beginning of the first episode about names being changed in respect for the dead.

[bibblebub]

sorry, I must have misremembered what I heard when the tv show was first trailed

[emmie]

this is from the shows website

Molly investigates the original car crash and the man found frozen in the woods. She learns he was abducted from his workplace in St. Paul. Security cameras documented it and she asks for a photo. Lester returns to work and is tasked with visiting Gina Hess in order to arrange the insurance payment. There, he sees two men, Mr. Numbers and Mr. Wrench, watching the house. They visit him at the office, but Molly interrupts, under the ruse to buy insurance. She is actually there to get Lester's response to the abduction photo, which clearly shows Malvo's face. Meanwhile, Malvo informs the fitness instructor of Stavros's wife that he knows he is the blackmailer. Malvo insists on taking over the blackmail to further torment Stavros. To this end, he kills Stavros' beloved dog, replaces his back pain medication with adderall, and sabotages his plumbing system, causing pig blood to come out of his shower. On his daughter Greta's advice, Gus decides to come clean about letting Malvo off on his speeding ticket and drives to Bemidji to tell their police department. He meets Molly, and they, along with Greta, have dinner at Lou's.

seems the Coen Brothers were being a bit economical with the truth

emmie,Adderall tablets are just "speed" they wouldn't induce psychosis ? and how would he get blood to come out of the shower, a hell of a lot of plumbing to do there lol, i cant believe this it true either, yes i love the prog but too far fetched to me

[lilacben]

Well snopes says it all. lol I hate the programme and was only saying last night to my husband how stupid it was and couldnt be true....he wouldnt have it !! In fact just read what snopes had to say and he still said "I dont care I still like it" LOL ...
