Question: When Teonna is getting hit with the ruler by Sister Mary, is there any way to translate what Teonna shouts to her in her Native American tongue a moment before Sister Mary pelts her over the head with the ruler and gets beat down for it? (00:19:41)

Question: Does anyone know what happened to JD's brother in Philadelphia? As far as I know, nothing is mentioned by anyone once they are trapped in the library.

Question: Commander Malloy is following Snake in the sub on radar while he is heading to L.A. After reaching the concrete platform, the platform gives way and the sub begins to sink. Malloy radios Snake asking him what happened to the sub as it disappeared off the radar. If they were following him the entire time while he was underwater, what would cause the issue when it was sinking? It wasn't damaged, just the support collapsed.

Question: What point was Father Renaud trying to get across to Sister Mary by hitting her hands with that paddle and shouting for her to recite faster, as she was trying to recite scripture when both she and Teonna were in his office?

Question: Why was Ruby sick and tired in the car scene?

Question: What shirt is Laddie wearing under his military jacket?

Question: When the "hotel" left Danny just before the boiler set on fire, why didn't he use that chance to leave the building?

Question: A while ago, I read about a deleted scene in which Draco is having a conversation with a friend, who was not Crabbe or Goyle. It was noteworthy because this friend would be someone whom Draco treats like an equal (instead of harassing them, bossing them around, etc.). I think it was going to be in the Deathly Hallows book or movie, but I am not sure. Was it ever written and/or filmed?

Question: When Amy protests as Dan picks her up and jumps into the water with her, we cut to an underwater view of them plunging into the water together, and then Amy freezing up moments later. What happened that maybe triggered her the moment they went underwater?

Question: At the end of the film, and just after the shootout between Andre Davis and Captain McKenna, we can glimpse blood on McKenna's badge as he's knelt down, seriously injured. Is this a reference to Andre's previous statement that "There cannot be blood on the badge"?

Question: When Rose went underwater to retrieve her fallen keys, what was the story of the ballroom? Why was it flooded? Also, why did Rose choose to swim in the water fully clothed instead of just going in her underwear, to prevent her clothes from getting soaked?

Question: At the end, when Peter Ward was saying goodbye to his family for the last time, were they the ghosts of his family, or was he imagining the whole conversation as a result of never having gotten to say goodbye in real life?

Question: If the two cops in the diner recognized Peter Ward as he (in his Will Atenton persona) was talking to them about the case, then why were they acting like he, in fact, wasn't Peter Ward but someone other than him? Or did I miss something?

Question: When we first see Michael Burry at his desk, practicing drumming, he is wearing a T-shirt with what looks like a complicated mathematical formula on it. Can anyone identify this?

Question: When the Bielski brothers were leading the refugees out of the ghetto, did the hesitant Rabbi and ghetto council elders go with them or stay behind?
