Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. When Eddie first approaches Jack about finding The Duke, why does Eddie tell Jack he put up a bail bond for someone as likely to run as Johnathan Mardukas?

Answer: He didn't know who he was.

Just after Walsh gets paid by Eddie for the job shown in the opening of the field, Eddie nervously tells Jack over lunch that he messed up in putting up Mardukas' bond because he didn't know who he was.

2. What does Jack plan to do with the money he gets for bringing Mardukas back to Los Angeles?

Answer: Open a coffee shop

Jack wants to open a coffee shop despite Mardukas' advice that more than half of all new restaurants go under. They discuss this on the train while Mardukas starts trying to open a dialogue with Jack.

3. When Jack finally tracks down Mardukas, where in his house is he hiding just before being apprehended?

Answer: In the shower

This happens just after Jack taps Mardukas' sister's phone and tricks her into calling Mardukas. Jack breaks into the house and is hiding in the shower to avoid Mardukas' dog, which has him pinned.

4. How do Serrano's thugs know which hotel Dorfler is keeping The Duke at?

Answer: It's written on the towels in the picture.

Dorfler has Mardukas cuffed in the hotel bathroom holding that day's newspaper for proof he really is in Dorfler's custody. The towels with the hotel name can be seen in the background.

5. Why did Jack Walsh leave the Chicago Police Department?

Answer: He was forced out by a drug dealer.

The fact that the "drug dealer" he references early in the film is Jimmy Serrano does not come out until about midway through. When Jack and Mardukas are on the train they hide on, Jack tells him who ran him out of Chicago years before.

6. Where is Mosely when he realizes Walsh had taken his badge and ID?

Answer: On the empty passenger plane

Mosely knew Walsh was on the plane, but didn't know about being asked to leave when Mardukas freaked out about flying. The captain of the plane makes a comment about there being two FBI Agents named Mosely.

7. What does Serrano tell Mardukas he was going to do after killing him and eating a hot meal?

Answer: Kill Mardukas' wife

This is a very chilling scene in the back of Serrano's limo. It ends with a sudden, sharp slap across Mardukas' face.

8. When Walsh and Mardukas part ways at Los Angeles Airport, Walsh gives Mardukas his watch as a gift. What does Mardukas give Walsh?

Answer: A hidden money belt

The big reveal is that he'd had this money belt with approximately $300,000 the whole time. He gives it to Jack to open his coffee shop with.

9. What does Walsh's daughter try to give him when he's leaving his ex-wife's house with Mardukas?

Answer: Money

She tries to give Jack her babysitting money, but he doesn't accept it. Instead, Jack's ex wife gives him the keys to her car and lets him drive off in it to get back to Los Angeles.

10. What damning evidence does Walsh tell Serrano's people he has and will exchange for Mardukas?

Answer: Computer disks

Walsh bluffs Serrano about the existence of the disks to get him to incriminate himself in front of the FBI at the Las Vegas airport. It works until Marvin shows up and gets in the middle, leading to a tense finale.
