He did it to give himself immunity by "cooperating" and to see how much the police already knew.

Why would "Verbal Kent" need immunity? That was an alias. Immunity to an alias is no good.

And for a politically connected kingpin to care about what the LAPD knows, to the point where he's making himself vulnerable? Unlikely.

True, he was going to be taken in anyway though (he was a person of interest in the case to begin with). To an extent I think he was there because it was funny to him (and contributes to his legend) and once he posted bond it wasn't like they were going to catch up with him again lol.

Why would anyone question Verbal/Keyser about the boat incident? Everyone who knew he was there was dead.

Verbal/Keyser could have disappeared after the boat incident as easily as he disappeared at the end. By going into custody he made himself vulnerable. That sh*t in the precinct was 10 seconds away from going WAY left at the end.

Verbal/Keiser probably wanted to tie up all loose ends before he disappeared. The cop that was questioning Verbal was talking all types of shyt to him, that long drawn out made up story Verbal was telling was to basically draw out any information that cop knew. Once he knew that cop and the force really known nothing he decided to bounce.

Why didn't Verbal/Keyser disappear after the boat massacre?

Why go through that whole act with the DA and the LAPD?
I don't get it :jbhmm:
what a lot of people get, but don't really put in context.... is the ENTIRE movie is made up bullshyt

meaning, not a single thing you see is the truth, outside of that room... the entire story from who, why, what, when is complete and total bullshyt



so in reality (of the movie)... we have zero clue why he showed up, what he was doing there, why he needed to do it, and why he let himself be caught... zero.. cause the entire story he told was bullshyt

Ding Ding Ding. Even the first heist they pulled on the NY cops had no reports or anything on it. Of course his story is they kept it quiet because of dirty cops, but that's the first red flag. The only thing for certain is that there was an explosion on a ship where a deal went down.

The only reason shyt would've went left was because one of the guys on that boat survived and was in the hospital. Keyser fukked up because he thought everyone at the boatyard died and the old man at the hospital saw his face and managed to give a discription

Yea but he created more loose ends than he tied up by going into custody.

That is actually an excellent point.

But there are a few facts we know. We know Verbal/Keyser somehow got those goons on the boat to help him kill the witness who could identify him.

I just don't understand why he didn't disappear after that. But speaking to your point there was probably more to the story then we know.

Keyser Soze ETHER'd the Detective with his own Bulletin Clips, tho:pachaha::huhldup::banderas:

It was silly though, because now he has an obsessive-compulsive cop who knows his name and what he looks like and will probably be on his ass.

The only reason shyt would've went left was because one of the guys on that boat survived and was in the hospital. Keyser fukked up because he thought everyone at the boatyard died and the old man at the hospital saw his face and managed to give a discription

That's one thing.

The other thing is the detective figured out he was Keyser because of the clues he used in the office, and this was before the detective even saw the sketch.

I came to that conclusion a while ago. However, what about Keaton? The detective knew who Keaton was so, there's no doubt that Keaton really did exist.

I think the usual suspects were real. He could even go back and look up the arrest of them all and check for the body they buried in the sand.

But the why is most important. Why did this all happen?
