Maybe Dangerous Lies is an expose on wealth and greed. Perhaps this ending suggests what I've been saying all along: the cut and size of these diamonds are about as valuable as a packet of geranium seeds. Two sprays of the sprinkler reveal them lying in a pile of mulch, haphazardly spread out in the way a four year old might plant a packet of wildflower seeds. Katie is pleased and turns on the sprinklers in the garden, which quickly reveal that the location of the diamonds (which honestly felt very inconsequential outside of the fact that people inexplicably wanted them) was in the garden. She wanted Katie to know that her daughter would never have to grow up in the shadow of her father's potential bad reputation. Rizzoli or Isles shows up to let her know that the case is closed and that Adam has officially been removed from the suspect list. Sad, but fine.Īt the end of the film, time jumps four months and somehow, Katie is approximately six months pregnant and gardening. After seven seasons on TNT, the detective has no problem shooting and killing Jamie. At this point Rizzoli and/or Isles shows up to the house to check on Katie, and Jamie Chung holds Katie at gunpoint. I cannot stress how small and minimal these diamonds are this feels very high risk, low reward. Jamie Chung immediately shows up and says, "This is what happens when people stop being polite, and start getting real." Just kidding, but can you imagine? In reality, Jamie Chung tries to console Katie before revealing that in fact, she was working with Cam Gigandet and she, too, wants those diamonds. I, personally, am upset because who knows when we'll ever see Cam Gigandet in a project again. Katie is devastated, partly because Adam is dead, but also because after hearing all the Dangerous Lies he suggested they attempt, she actually believed he could pull of the most Dangerous of the Lies: the murder of her dear friend and patient of four months, Elliott Gould. His partner, the dead gardener, had an altercation with him, so for all intents and purposes, let's assume that the two were previously working on the most underwhelming jewelry heist ever.Īdam and Cam Gigandet get into a gun fight and mortally wound one another. Instead, he's a jewel thief, and he wants that bag of diamonds, whose origins are never quite explained. It turns out that real estate agent Cam Gigandet doesn't even have a real estate license, which is bizarre because literally half the people I graduated high school with are real estate agents. As they attempt to leave the house, Cam Gigandet is in the hallway with a gun. This takes us to the twistiest, yet most incoherent ending ever. With tensions mounting, Adam says they need to escape the house because Cam Gigandet, Jamie Chung, and everyone else in this cast are all breathing down their necks. Jamie Chung also convinces Katie that Adam is not to be trusted. Oh, except for a bag of very small, princess cut diamonds-the currency of our time.Īs this film gets stranger and stranger, the detective looking into Elliott Gould's murder (better known as one half of Rizzoli & Isles) is pushing for answers and has Adam in her sights.

When Katie discovers the dead body of Elliott Gould's old gardener in their home, Adam's first (and final) reaction is to dispose of the body and burn the man's belongings. Adam suggests that he might even be staking the house, but no one really believes him because Adam is the only black man in this film and these characters are insistent that Adam is the one behind Elliott Gould's mysterious death, this large collection of small bills, and potentially even the shooting at Smile Diner. He begins snooping around a bit too often for anyone's comfort. Meanwhile Cam Gigandet shows up as an aggressive real estate agent insistent on buying this home. Katie insists they follow the rules and appreciate what they've been gifted. This is just the start of bad decisions Adam suggests. Adam immediately suggests they evade taxes, which is why Old Money people never trust New Money people. Katie and Adam, who, by the way, survived an armed robbery in a diner at the beginning of the movie that has no connection to the rest of the film, are pretty cavalier about this development and decide to take the money and not tell anyone about it. Anyway, they find a chest of money in the attic comprised of loose bills ranging from singles to a stray Andrew Jackson.
