Sequence I: Chase on Mount Rushmore

The final sequence runs just under ten minutes. At this point, all the many layers of dramatic irony that embroider the film have been resolved, and the sequence is unified purely by the dramatic tension surrounding the chase. Roger and Eve are unable to drive the car through the locked gate, so they set off on foot and wind up atop Mount Rushmore. Here, they fight off one assailant, then, with both Eve and Roger dangling on the sheer rock face, beg Leonard for help. He chooses instead to kill them, and before he can do so, he is himself killed by the sheriff, who has arrived in a timely manner with the Professor at his side and Vandamm already in custody.

The epilogue—Roger and Eve’s honeymoon night—lasts just a minute.
