Blind Item #8 - The End - A Birdie Blind Item

I guess it isn't surprising that this director got it so wrong - the ending, I mean - because it wouldn't be the first time, or last, but he does have a reputation for trying to get to the truth about things. What you saw in the movie was little more than an epilogue. The real end happened, unceremoniously, let alone mysteriously, in a dirty stall of the men's room in this capital city bar. He was an expert drinker, but a novice with this other drug - supplied in this case by a man who was depicted in a famous movie from the same year. His darkest vice? He liked to watch people die, often lacing the special bags with more powerful substances. He checked on the victim several times, taking pictures each time. Finally, the body was found by the man's drinking buddy, and a doctor happened to be present, pronouncing him dead. (You may have already heard him tell his side of the story. A famous model was there too.) Because of the bar's underworld connections, and the country's harsh drug laws at the time, the body was moved to another location - the one in the movie. Bribes were paid to the appropriate authorities - there would be no autopsy - and the man was quickly buried in town.
