'The Sinner' - Jamie BurnsSeason 3’s mind games culminate in a truly sickening turn of events. After Jamie kills Morris, he makes sure to leave one last paper fortune teller in the captain’s jacket pocket, in an envelope marked for Ambrose. The detective opens the first flap and finds Morris’ name crossed out. Other names that aren’t crossed out are Sonya, Melanie and Eli.

Now it’s clear: Jamie intends to go after everyone Ambrose holds near to his heart.

After he leaves he scene of the crime, Jamie goes to Eli’s karate class to retrieve the 10-year-old and bring him back to Grandpa’s house. He then forces Eli to stay put when he heads up the road to visit Sonya. The artist was warned by Ambrose to pick herself up and leave before Jamie got to her, but she didn’t listen. Instead she has chosen to stay behind and wait for Jamie. She has convinced herself that she’ll be able to get through to him, through the darkness and the deep psychological trauma, and convince him to end his killing spree. But Jamie is too far gone. He gets up from the table and brandishes a large knife. He moves towards Sonya and eventually topples her. On the floor, Sonya puts up a fight for as long as she can, but Jamie ultimately dominates her; he’s determined to cut through flesh. Fortunately, the police arrive in the knick of time and Jamie runs out the back. The cops then escort Sonya to the local precinct, where she pleads with Ambrose not to confront Jamie on his own. (“He’s a drowning man and he’ll pull you under,” she says.)

Meanwhile, an on-the-lam Jamie hides out in the woods until nightfall, then sneaks back to the home he shared with Leela. He stands outside and shares a silent goodbye with his wife. They line their hands up on the glass door that separates them and share one last embrace. Eventually their eyes meet, and Jamie nods, as if to say that this is it. They’ll never see each other again. He leaves and returns to Ambrose’s house, then alerts Ambrose to Eli’s whereabouts.

'The Sinner' - Detective Harry AmbroseAn armed Ambrose shows up and spots a scared Eli through the window. Jamie then surfaces from behind and knocks Ambrose to his feet. He grabs the detective’s gun and forces him to come inside. He has him sit Eli facing the window with noice-cancelling headphones on, then hands him another fortune teller. “There are only four answers there,” Jamie explains. “Three of them say Eli lives, one says Eli dies. We play just once. One in four chance. Fair enough, don’t you think?” But Ambrose refuses to play the game. He tries to talk Jamie down, but the gun-wielding psychopath who stands before him is done talking.

“You know what your problem is, Harry? You’re a coward,” he says. “All you want is to leave this sh—ty little life behind to break free, but you don’t have the guts to do it on your own. So you find people like me to bring you there. To trust you. And there you are, saying all the right things — ‘I’m right here with you, Jamie … Tell me about Nick, I understand…’ —  but when the time comes to jump, you go down your escape patch, back to your little life, and I am on the f—king edge! Out here! Because of you!”

“So what do you want?” Ambrose asks.

“I want you to play the game,” Jamie says. “I want you to look death, right in the face, right where I am. No escape route.”

When Ambrose retorts that there’s no way out of this that is going to satisfy Jamie, he takes a step back and points his firearm in the direction of Eli’s head.

'The Sinner' - Jamie Burns and Eli“Please!” Ambrose pleads. “He’s 10 years old. Don’t you remember when you were 10 years old? It was before Nick, and you were just innocent.” The very mention of Nick triggers Jamie, but Ambrose doesn’t stop. He continues to taunt him. “You keep on trying to prove yourself, going to the edge, over and over—”

“Stop!” Jamie yells, firing his gun into the air. “You play the game right now, or he’s dead! No more bulls—t! I’m going to pull this trigger!” But Ambrose refuses. He calls Jamie’s bluff.

“Go ahead! Kill him!” he says. “And then what? And then you’re going to have to kill me, and you’ll be alone! You’ll be alone and no one will ever understand you, ever! Do you hear me? Ever!”

Jamie starts shaking. He points his weapon towards Ambrose, then towards himself. “Do it!” yells Ambrose. “Do it! What are you waiting for?” That’s when Jamie finally loses it and lunges towards Ambrose. The gun goes off and the detective gets shot in the arm. He then tells Eli to make a run for it, before anything else happens.

Ambrose runs out towards the woods, and Jamie follows. He attempts to kill him the detective there, but he’s unsuccessful. Ambrose hits him over the head with a rock and runs back inside, where a final battle ultimately ensues — this one of the mind. Jamie waits for the detective in the kitchen, but he doesn’t intend to kill him. He agrees to surrender his gun, then encourages him to call for backup. Only he doesn’t think Ambrose will be satisfied to have him rot away in prison.

“Until you bring what is unconscious into consciousness, it will control your life, and you will call it fate,” Jamie says, paraphrasing a Carl Jung quote told to him by Nick. “The more you deny what’s inside of you, the stronger it will come after you. It also comes from outside, like the people who come into your life, just at the right time.” For Jamie, that person was Nick. For Ambrose, that person is Jamie, and it’s the only reason that he continues to exist. In Jamie’s mind, he is only there to force Ambrose to admit that they’re the same. “Take it from me, Harry. You can’t outrun this,” he says. “If it’s not me, it’ll be someone else coming back at you over, and over, and ov—” That’s when Ambrose pulls the trigger, and fires a fatal gunshot into Jamie’s abdomen. Both of them are stunned.

In the immediate aftermath, Ambrose walks outside. He calls Soto and tells him that he needs an ambulance immediately. He then heads back inside, and Jamie pleads with him to apply pressure to his wound. We then watch as a terrified Jamie grapples with his imminent death and places blame on Ambrose. “You didn’t have to shoot me,” he says. “All you had to do was call for them.” Ambrose apologizes. Jamie eventually loses all sensation in his legs and drags himself across the floor, begging for he paramedics. Ambrose puts in another call to Soto, but the EMTs won’t make it in time. So he gets back on the floor and tells Jamie to stay calm, to try and reduce the bleeding. But Jamie knows his time is up. He begins to whimper, then asks Ambrose to take his hand. The detective strokes his hair and tells him that it’s OK. Everyone has to die sooner or later, and he’s not alone. Jamie cries and tells himself that he’s not a bad person, then take his final breath.

After the authorities arrive, a guilt-ridden Ambrose contemplates turning himself in for killing Jamie. He tells Soto that he made a mistake, but Soto says it doesn’t matter now. They can all move on. But as the final scene reveals, Ambrose can’t quite shake his guilt. We jump ahead a few weeks, and the detective is sitting in Sonya’s kitchen. She asks him what Jamie was like in the end, and he tells her that he was “scared.” He can’t bring himself to say anything else before he breaks down in tears. Sonya embraces him, and the season comes to an end.

With another week of TV gone by, we’re lobbing queries left and right about shows including Wynonna Earp, Sharp Objects, Fear the Walking Dead, The Good Doctor, Better Call Saul and more!

1 | Was anyone else excited to see NBC’s late, great Great News arrive on Netflix, only to disappointedly realize the streamer only has rights to Season 1?

2 | Does Wynonna Earp‘s Bulshar look more like The Mask or Roger Rabbit‘s Judge Doom?

3 | ‘Member how at TCA press tour, Sharp Objects EPs insisted that this is a one-season limited series? That there’d be no second season à la Big Little Lies, no matter what…? [Pause] There’s totally going to be a second season, isn’t there? Also, given how many cracks the show has made about Camille’s mediocre writing, weren’t you surprised by the high quality of the piece she wrote in the finale?

4 | As To Tell the Truth panelist Sherri Shepherd comically panted at (and even caressed one of) the Sexiest Teacher Alive candidates, didn’t you have to think that nothing at all along those lines would be tolerated if the genders were reversed?

5 | Did the True Detective Season 3 trailer leave you hopeful that the anthology series will redeem itself after a best-be-forgotten Season 2?

6 | How many Fear the Walking Dead viewers made it through Mo Collins’ debut episode without recognizing Stuart’s mom from MADtv?

7 | Which America Ninja Warrior all-star’s early elimination during Stage 1 was most unexpected? (There’s so many to choose from!)

8 | Why did Salvation‘s Zoe keep hurling in her mother’s perfectly lovely farmhouse sink? (Did they not want to build a powder room set?) Also, is John Noble even more chilling as Darius’ uncle than he was as an actual Sleepy Hollow demon?

9 | Are you still rooting for Better Call Saul‘s Mike to get together with Anita… even though we know she’s nowhere to be found in Breaking Bad?

10 | Elementary fans, did it take you a moment to recognize Smash‘s Christian Borle underneath that facial hair? But why did his character have no comment (e.g. “Are you on your way somewhere?”) on Sherlock being in a white tux jacket?

11 | Were you too distracted by Sean Penn’s Popeye-like biceps — the guy is 58! — to process anything else in the trailer for Hulu’s The First?

12 | Do the people on Bachelor in Paradise at least pop the occasional breath mint over the course of kissing six different people in one night?

Younger13 | Is this earring the biggest accessory Younger‘s Diana has ever worn?

14 | When Castle Rock’s Jackie suspected there was blood on an object she’d found on the ground, why was her first instinct to taste it?!

15 | On World of Dance, was Ne-Yo trying not to play favorites by underscoring almost every performance in the division he mentored? Was Josh & Taylor the saddest cut yet? And when a judge let’s loose with a “Whoa!” or “Hey now!” mid-performance, do you slam your thumb on the “jump back” button to see what you may have missed?

16 | The Sinner‘s Julian doesn’t at all resemble his parents, does he?

17 | Weren’t you worried that Big Brother’s Faysal was going to catapult himself over that barricade during the Battle Back competition?

18 | Didn’t Shooter‘s Bob Lee have his shoulder, like, brutally dislocated not long before the showdown in the woods, where he was effortlessly shooting right-handed? (Does he have mutant-like healing powers?) Also, how conveeenient that the guy who KO’d Isaac proceeded to pour the gasoline in a nice big circle, far away from him?

19 | Did you experience déja vu seeing Good Doctor newbie/House vet Lisa Edelstein back behind a desk, sparring with a fellow doctor (in this case, Glassman) in the Season 2 trailer?

20 | We know Ariana Grande was scheduled to perform at Aretha Franklin’s funeral, but it was still weird seeing SNL‘s Pete Davidson there, was it not?

21 | In the past six months, Paula Malcolmson has left Ray Donovan, Ruth Wilson has bolted The Affair, and now Emmy Rossum is exiting Shameless? Does Showtime have a leading lady problem?

In this edition of TV bits:

  • A sneak-peak at Family Guy‘s limited commercial episode
  • Ross Lynch cast in Netflix’s Sabrina
  • David Tennant joins Lena Dunham‘s new HBO show
  • The Sinner gets a second season
  • Bradley Whitford, Steve Zahn & Lamorne Morris cast in National Geographic limited-series
  • A trailer and details for HBO’s new documentary Elvis Presley: The Searcher

 

I’ll be honest: I didn’t even know Family Guy was still on the air. But it is! And the show will be airing a limited commercial episode. The episode will feature a guest voice appearance by Sir Ian McKellen, who plays the therapist of Stewie, the talking murder-baby everyone seems to love. You can watch a clip of the episode above. Here’s the plot synopsis:

Stewie (Seth MacFarlane) gets sent to see his school’s child psychologist, Dr. Cecil Pritchfield (guest voice Sir Ian McKellen), for a surprising session, which causes Stewie to reveal major, never-before-told secrets about himself in the all-new “Send in Stewie, Please” limited commercial episode of FAMILY GUY airing Sunday, March 18 (9:00-9:30 PM ET/PT) on FOX.

ROss Lynch sabrina

Ross Lynch, who turned in a chilling performance in My Friend Dahmer, has joined the cast of Netflix’s Sabrina the Teenage Witch. The series is a dark, horror-based update of the popular character from Archie comics. Sabrina was originally intended to air on the CW as a Riverdale spin-off, but plans changed when Netflix showed interest. Lynch will play Harvey Kinkle, boyfriend of Sabrina (Kiernan Shipka). Variety says Lynch’s character is described as “the son of a coal miner, a dreamboat and a dreamer, completely unaware of the dark forces conspiring to keep him and Sabrina apart.”

David Tennant Camping

Lena Dunham has a new show coming to HBO, and now the show has a new cast member. Variety reports Doctor Who and Jessica Jones star David Tennant has joined the cast of Dunham’s Camping. Tennant will play Walt, an “obedient” husband and loving father, who is also the “reliable linchpin” of his male social group. However, there is also a “subtle but growing discontent about what he’s just signed up for” lurking within him.” Camping also stars Jennifer Garner as a “controlling mother.”

the sinner season 2

I’ve yet to watch USA’s series The Sinner, but I’ve heard good things. Apparently, that good buzz was accurate, because USA has just given the go-ahead to a second season. The first season featured Jessica Biel as a young mother “overcome by an inexplicable fit of rage that leads her to commit a startling — and very public — act of violence, with no explanation as to why she did it.” Bill Pullman also played Detective Harry Ambrose, the cop investigating Biel.

The second season will focus specifically on Pullman’s character returning to his hometown in upstate New York, where he investigates the murder of an 11-year-old boy. “The Sinner was a huge success for USA Network,” said Chris McCumber, president of entertainment networks for NBCUniversal Cable Entertainment (via EW). “In our second season, we’ll follow Detective Ambrose as he tracks his newest ‘why-dunnit,’ while staying true to the unique, edge-of-your-seat storytelling that captivated audiences and critics alike.”

valley of the boom

National Geographic has a new show in the works: a six-part limited series called Valley of the Boom. Valley of the Boom will focus on Silicon Valley and the ’90s tech bubble. The show has lined-up an impressive cast, including Get Out‘s Bradley Whitford, War of the Planet of the Apes‘ Steve Zahn and New Girl‘s Lamorne Morris. Per Variety, “the series will follow the part-scripted, part-documentary template set last year by Nat Geo’s ambitious drama series Mars, which is now in production on its second season.”

“Valley of the Boom tells the surprising, provocative and inspiring stories of Silicon Valley’s early pioneers,” said Carolyn Bernstein, executive VP of global scripted development for National Geographic (via ComingSoon). “[Showrunner] Matthew [Carnahan] and his team have figured out an organic and dynamic way to interweave interviews with real-life Silicon Valley icons to amplify and enhance the authenticity and unpredictability of this fascinating true story.”

Elvis Presley: The Searcher is an upcoming three-hour, two-film presentation documentary about the King of Rock and Roll. The doc follows Elvis’ “creative journey from childhood through the final 1976 Jungle Room recording sessions.” Interview subjects include Priscilla Presley, Elvis’ ex-wife; his guitarist, Scotty Moore; childhood friend Red West; historians Bill Ferris, Bill Malone and Portia Maultsby; writers Alan Light, Preston Lauterbach, Nik Cohn and Warren Zanes; music executives John Jackson, David Porter, Ernst Jorgensen and Bones Howe; and musicians Tom Petty, Bruce Springsteen, Emmylou Harris and Robbie Robertson.

I personally don’t know a whole lot about Elvis’ life, beyond the basics that seemingly everyone picks up via osmosis. This project sounds interesting enough that I might give it a watch. Elvis Presley: The Searcher debuts Saturday, April 14 at 8pm ET on HBO.

A SHOT OF BRANDY

FORMER Panthers star Greg Alexander will replace Peter Sterling as Freddie Fittler’s chief adviser with the Blues State of Origin team next year.

His role will involve team selections, training and team camps.

“There’s plenty of people out there who could do a good job as an adviser but Greg Alexander is a person I trust more than anyone,” Fittler said. “I’d trust him with my family. He’ll be hands on and involved in everything we do.”

Fittler and Alexander played two games together for the Blues in 1991.

Fittler will also have Phil Gould and Andrew Johns involved in some capacity.

Yep, Phil Gould.

The man he called a dinosaur this year.

SAINT

WE love how Mitchell Pearce is backing himself by joining the Newcastle Knights. It would have been easier and more comfortable to link with a powerful club such as the Sharks or Sea Eagles. Instead, he’s signed on for four years to play at the rebuilding club.

SINNER

IT could only happen in soccer in this country where its politics makes rugby league look like a walk in the park. All this rubbish about FFA administration threatens to overshadow the Socceroos’ qualification for Russia 2018 at a time when we have no national coach and seemingly no direction.

SHOOSH

WE are hearing soccer boss David Gallop is putting together an interviewing panel to help quiz applicants for Ange Postecoglou’s old Socceroos gig. The panel is likely to include Mark Bresciano, Craig Moore and Mark Schwarzer.

IT’S not often you see sporting superstars travelling on a plane in the cheap seats of economy. Wallabies and Waratahs back Israel Folau and his new wife, Maria Tutaia, were down the rear end of the plane on a flight from Fiji to Sydney after their honeymoon.

FLANAGAN HEADS TRIO OF NO SHOWS

CRONULLA’s Shane Flanagan boycotted the annual NRL coaches’ conference, claiming the meetings are a waste of time.

Flanagan, Wayne Bennett and the Warriors’ Stephen Kearney were absent when the coaches gathered at NRL headquarters on Monday to discuss rule changes and other issues.

Asked why he didn’t go, Flanagan said: “Not after what they did to us at the end of the season ($ 30,000 fine). I had other things to do.

“We go and listen to Tony Archer tell us how good everything is going. No thanks.

“It’s the same old stuff every year. I was busy coaching the team.”

The NRL was disappointed Flanagan and Kearney took no part in the meeting.

However, Bennett’s absence was understandable considering his commitment to the English team in the build-up to last night’s World Cup final.

Even Canberra Raiders coach Ricky Stuart, who has been absent in previous years, went to the trouble of attending. Storm’s Craig Bellamy and the Cowboys’ Paul Green took part over the phone.

The consensus is that it was a flat meeting with little to be gained from it. We get the impression there will be more absentees next year.

TENSIONS AT THE EELS

WE keep hearing there is a clash at Parramatta Eels between coach Brad Arthur and star playmaker Corey Norman. It’s all being kept hush hush at the moment but we’ll be keeping an eye on developments.

There are other clubs still looking for a quality playmaker including Manly Sea Eagles and Cronulla Sharks who both missed out on Mitchell Pearce. Arthur obviously rates Norman highly as a player but there is a personality clash that is creating the drama.

STUMPED OVER SCOOP

QUESTIONS are being asked how Channel Nine missed the big cricket story at the Gabba last weekend when news broke that Jonny Bairstow had headbutted Cameron Bancroft in Perth.

Fox Sports reporter Neroli Meadows picked it up from the sledging on the Triple M sound-effects microphone and got the scoop.

Nine also has full access to the stump microphone but missed the yarn.

The network pays a squillion for exclusive cricket rights to broadcast the complete package and executives were not happy.

SO SORRY STEVE

WE almost survived another long year without need for a clarification or apology on these pages. Almost.

Last Sunday, I reported how cricket legend Steve Waugh had been removed from the SCG Trust along with four of his colleagues. Waugh did not return my phone calls. The office of Sports Minister Stuart Ayres refused to comment. The SCG Trust, however, said Waugh resigned of his own accord. We are more than happy to set the record straight.

Bring on the holidays.

BEAU’S BIG CUTBACK

BEAU Ryan’s future at Channel Nine is in the hands of lawyers. Ryan and his “consultant” Wayne Beavis recently met Nine executives and were told he would have a vastly reduced role on the Thursday night Footy Show in 2018 — and that he’d need to take a considerable pay cut on his contract that has two years to run.

Ryan was the highest-paid Footy Show personality on more than $ 500,000 a year.

He won’t be sitting on the panel as a regular.

The network has other plans for him in an interviewing role. Expect to see a lot more of Andrew Johns on the show.

Plus: Cora's Fate Revealed https://briefnews.eu/the-sinner-finale-recap-whos-behind-the-mask-plus-coras-fate-revealed/ https://briefnews.eu/the-sinner-finale-recap-whos-behind-the-mask-plus-coras-fate-revealed/#respond Thu, 21 Sep 2017 05:38:32 +0000 http://briefnews.eu/the-sinner-finale-recap-whos-behind-the-mask-plus-coras-fate-revealed/ Warning: The following recap contains major spoilers from The Sinner “Part VIII.” Proceed at your own risk.

In the season finale of The Sinner, Cora Tannetti’s case takes a remarkable turn, giving the dreary “whydunnit” a (relatively) happy ending.

After new evidence comes to light revealing that Cora suffered from extreme emotional distress (more on that later), the judge reduces the charge against her from murder in the second degree to manslaughter in the first. As a result, she is no longer facing a minimum of 30 years in prison but a minimum of two years in a secure psychiatric facility. How’d that happen? Let’s recap:

The hour begins in the basement at the Beverwyck, after Cora recalls the moment that Frankie Belmont accidentally killed Phoebe while administering CPR. Cora is on her knees, overwhelmed by all of the repressed memories flooding back to her. “It was Phoebe all along,” she cries. “I was trying to take her home [that night]. I knew something was going to happen… [Frankie] was trying to save her, and I killed him.” Unfortunately, that’s only one part of the mystery solved. “What about what happened after?” Ambrose asks. “The scars on your arms. The man with the mask.” See? This case is far from closed.
