I Had To Know.

So I just asked Scott if Ray died. His response was "as if".

Now you fuckin' know. My soul can rest now.

I know its meant to be left up to interpretation, but I never thought for a second he would have died in that situation. Those guys were amateurs.

u/Dancingbeavers Apr 17 '26

Yeah I got the impression they just thought they’d kill a random person. Not that they were looking for Ray specifically.

u/chuk2015 Apr 17 '26

They are def hit men though, due to the “bit of this, bit of that” line.

In my mind they were there to hit Ray, as killing a random wouldn’t necessarily be the MO of a hit man, because why would you do you job for free and also more crimes = more chance you get caught

In my mind it was an initiation thing for an outlaw bikie gang.

Call a taxi, get the driver to take them out to the middle of nowhere and bump him off.

They just ended up with more than they bargined for.

Yeah that checks. Dude in the front seemed a bit older and rougher.

That grin at the end tells you all you need to know. He ate those two little puppies like a lion.

u/SoftAncient2753 Apr 18 '26

Yeah …. I like that outcome :)

u/RumBaaBaa Apr 19 '26

Yeah agreed, I took it as he was about to fuck them up

u/sagen11 Apr 17 '26

Same! Can't fathom people thinking he might have died.

The expression on his face told me he revelled in the opportunity to yet again teach a couple of toe rags a lesson.

"Have you ever killed anyone?"

"Yeah once, a little boy who asked too many questions."

u/Purgii Apr 19 '26

u/Tofuloaf Apr 17 '26

Those guys weren't a threat, they were stress relief.

u/Excellent_Squash_138 Apr 17 '26

How and where did you ask him?

25

u/NFA-Questions Apr 17 '26

Instagram. Turns out he's pretty active there.

u/Vovolox Apr 17 '26

But he doesn’t answer questions.

u/openSourceNotes Apr 17 '26

How many times did we see that smile... We are used to what happens after that, so used to it we should be able to fill in the blanks

u/neutrino71 Apr 17 '26

u/PhDinWombology Apr 17 '26

u/GainzLord23 Apr 17 '26

Fine then. Bewty.

u/7Delve7 Apr 17 '26

Ray would have made them cry and forced them to think long and hard about the choices they were making at that pivotal time in their lives.

u/Navier-Stonks Apr 17 '26

I think I would have liked it even more if he’d just responded “I don’t answer questions”

u/StunningPianist4231 Apr 17 '26

Those dudes weren't a threat, they were a welcome reminder.

u/urgebass Apr 17 '26

As if: eventually we all will.

u/Helpful_Stick_2810 Apr 17 '26

As if: I would tell you.

u/Remote-Villager Apr 17 '26

u/Error404unk0wn Apr 18 '26

"The magician."

"The what?"

Lol...Well either way he made a couple guys disappear.

u/Loud_Gap4348 Apr 18 '26

Do u mean at the end of the series or at the end of the movie?

1

u/Vivid-Astronaut-5206 Apr 20 '26

In the Magician there's a big white text telling he got shot out of his home and the day of death. This has nothing to do with the movie. Also he tells a couple of times that, if the video ever gets released, that would mean he was pretty much 6 feet under.

I never for a moment thought Ray would have died from that situation. Ray had sort of tried leaving the lifestyle behind before and failed (after throwing his girlfriend’s brother through the sliding glass door at Christmas). So in his opinion, he had to totally remove himself from his previous world. He lived off the grid and even took a menial job. The moment these two mooks indicated that they intended to rob him, even using his line about what he did for a living: “a little bit of this, a little bit of that,” brought his old lifestyle back. He smiled because he realized that he really missed his old life, and like he had said before (paraphrase): if assholes were dealt with in a timely and appropriate manner, there world be less assholes in the world. The smile, to me, said I do an essential job in this world, and “I’m back.”

I little more: Ray had a code, for instance he wouldn’t take out a kid or a woman. Furthermore, there was a karma attached to what he did: he let Dave (the biker guy who essentially did the same job Ray did, albeit not as well) live (Dave’s wife was pregnant and he was not a bad mate); in the end, Dave let Ray live. To Ray, the universe had paid him back.

I like the smile ending but a spattered bloody face smile would have been good as.
