Rupert Cadell (Stewart) does find out that Brandon and Philip killed David when he finally opens the trunk and sees David's body. Disappointed with his two former students, Cadell takes the gun, which he wrestled from Philip after he tried to kill Cadell with it once Cadell figured out the whole murder scheme, and shoots it several times outside the window which grabs the attention of the police and neighbors. Cadell, Brandon and Philip all wait in the apartment as the police are now on their way there.

Phillip: Rupert only publishes books he likes... usually philosophy.
Janet: Oh. Small print, big words, no sales.
Brandon: Rupert's extremely radical. Do you know that he selects his books on the assumption that people not only can read but actually can think?

Trivia: At first, this film seems to have only one scene and two shots, one outside and another inside. Actually, it is divided in a series of 10 minute continuous shots, 10 minutes being the maximum duration of filming possible without reloading the camera. Every 10 minutes, the camera zooms on a dark object and then cuts.
