Just saw this movie tonight for the first time. I just have one question… ```auto [spoiler] Was the dead cop in the back of the squad car another one of the personalities of the crazy guy?[/spoiler] ``` ---

I really wish you had put “spoilers” in the thread title, as I cannot stand spoiler boxes. White text on a dark background burns into my retina for minutes on end. Oh well. My understanding is thatbecause the cop was already dead, and thus, never alive in the movie, he was not one of the personalities.
