Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. What is the name of the patient who has a "six-digit number locked away in her troubled mind?"

Answer: Elisabeth

Patrick describes Elisabeth Burrows, the young female patient who unfortunately witnessed her father's murder, as having a "six-digit number locked away in her troubled mind", when he discusses the rules of Jessie's kidnapping to Dr. Conrad. Elisabeth Burrows is played by Brittany Murphy, who has also starred in movies such as "Little Black Book", "Uptown Girls" and "8 Mile".

2. How did Mrs. Conrad break her leg?

Answer: accident during a ski trip

When Dr. Conrad comes to give his wife a sponge bath, he pokes fun at how she broke her leg during their last ski trip. Mrs. Conrad replies by saying it was a really windy day and the snow was "slippery".

3. A majority of the movie takes place on the day before Thanksgiving.

Answer: false

The beginning of the movie takes place on Thanksgiving Eve, as Mrs. Conrad reminds Dr. Conrad to go buy a turkey. However, the next day, Thanksgiving Day, is when Jessie is discovered to have been kidnapped, the rest of the movie taking place that same day.

4. After finding the floating dead body of Sara, the coroner says she has been dead for more than three days, based on the softening of her skin.

Answer: false

The coroner says she has been dead for "two... three days max!", after Detective Cassidy suggests that she has been dead for longer than three days. It is later revealed that the same group who killed Elisabeth's father murdered Sara as well.

5. When Detective Cassidy brings the dead victim's friend, Vanessa, to the city morgue to confirm it was indeed Sara, what does the friend say Sara was doing just two days ago?

Answer: meeting her boyfriend in the village

We learn later, when Detective Cassidy interrogates Dr. Sachs, that he was actually Sara's boyfriend. It is also revealed that Dr. Sachs and Sara met and both worked at the mental institution.

6. After Jessie sings the country song "Pink Toenails", how does Patrick know Jessie's mother has heard her singing?

Answer: She stops breathing.

When Jessie begins singing, Patrick storms in the room and says "I hope Mommy didn't hear that." He then walks into the other room and says:
Patrick: "She heard."
Dolen: "How do you know?"
Patrick: "She stopped breathing."

7. What was the name of the man Detective Cassidy received a ride from, in his boat, in order to reach Hart Island?

Answer: Captain Bligh

If you listen closely, she calls him by the name Captain Bligh while they are on the boat toward Hart Island. Captain Bligh then begins to complain about having to "charter" her on Thanksgiving.

8. What did Dr. Conrad say was the cause of Elisabeth writing the number to her father's grave in reverse?

Answer: cognitive distortion

After Patrick and his gang dig up the grave with the number Elisabeth had originally written down, they discover it is the wrong grave. Dr. Conrad then realizes that this was due to cognitive distortion--viewing memories in reverse, which caused Elisabeth to write the number backwards.

9. How is Patrick's death strikingly similar to that of Elisabeth's father?

Answer: The dirt closing in on him resembles the subway that hit Elisabeth's father.

Once the dirt begins to cave on him in the grave, Patrick looks up and images of the subway flash before him, pointing out a striking resemblance between how he is dying and how he murdered Elisabeth's father. The other answers are incorrect because Dr. Conrad did not witness or cause Elisabeth's father death, Jessie did not see Patrick get killed and Elisabeth did not push Patrick into the grave, Dr. Conrad did.

10. Russel Maddox (Elisabeth's father) is the first murder seen in the movie.

Answer: False

Russel Maddox may have been the first to die in the movie's actual chain of events, however the first character we actually see die would be Dolen, when Mrs. Conrad stabs him on the floor. We don't learn of Russel's murder until later in the movie. The other deaths, such as Sara, are just mentioned, but their actual murders are not part of the movie.
