Hi all! I just saw the movie Don’t Say a Word Saturday night. In a cheaper smaller movie theater, thank God!
I have something bugging me baddly since then! How did the bad guys knew the girl had a number/code in her head on the first place??? How do they know where she put the doll, and how do they know they need a number… ??? I just don’t get it, please help if you’ve seen the movie! Thanks.
Just a friendly tip: This type of subject really belongs in the Cafe Society forum. You might want to e-mail a moderator and ask them to move it there.

There’s no way they could have known that they needed a six digit number. If they did know (for argument’s sake) that they needed the guy’s grave number, they could have found that without the girl. In other words, they needed to get a six digit number out of the young woman’s head so that the movie could exist in the first place. Just MHO.
I don’t even get where you’re coming from. I saw the movie a few weeks ago and since I didn’t really like it I don’t remember it all that much but I’ll give this a shot.
The guy was in a graveyard where all the graves had 6-digit numbers.
The guy was a John Doe, everyone in that graveyard was a John Doe if I understand correctly. The only way to distinguish them was the 6-digit numbers on their headstones. The girl knew the number because she snuck on (or was allowed on?) the boat to the island where he was buried. The bad guys had obviously gotten close, known the jewel was in the girls doll, known she was on that boat, and then got arrested. The part that bugs me is why she had to act like a psycho for all those years the guys were in jail? Why not just leave New York and change your name?
For the free shelter, clothing, and food is my guess. I don’t know who had legal custody of her after her father’s murder, but apparently she didn’t care for them very much.
Yeah, it isn’t clear!
Sorry about this thread in General Questions, I had no idea what Cafe Society was! Then I could not find my post anymore and I was very pissed! (ummm, do I get mad too fast??) I thought they just kicked me out clear and simple! Sorry! Just found it…
I don’t know how they knew the doll was in the cemetery at all…? I got to write to the guy who made the movie…!
I saw it last night and came away with the same question. How did they know the doll would be in a gravesite?
If they did (and apparently they did), they could’ve made their job easier. Look at the files for all the “John Does” who died that day and were buried in the cemetary in that timeframe. Then dig up the graves until you find it. It couldn’t have been that many, besides, they had 10 years to work on it.
Would’ve been much easier.
