How did Wall Street know Frank looked in the bag?

yeah i noticed that too

maybe you are connecting the briefcase bomb to the question about opening the package? i was thinking wall street already had the briefcase ready in advance, like that was his plan all along, and having nothing to do with frank opening the bag. that's how i took it





------------------
Once there was a Hushpuppy, and she lived with her Daddy in the bathtub.

Frank had to change his tire; Ergo maybe Wall Street noticed the spare tire and made an assumption since the spare tire would be in the trunk. Frank has a nice set of wheels on his car and the spare rim is different, it would be easy to spot out and put 2 and 2 together real quick. Two precise guys notice things like that.
Btw, did anyone else notice the bikini girl floating in the pool or was that just me?

The bomb was supposed to be delivered somewhere. It is likely the bomb was set off remotely in the case that Frank did open the package. Otherwise he'd have delivered it to whatever address and the job would be over.

Heres the answer it all comes down to body language:

-When Wall Street takes the bag if you pay attention to Franks face you can see him eying the bag the whole time and having a look of regret on his face. After that you see wall street looking at franks face, than looking at the bag(remember this is a movie so everything is controlled) after that he says did you look in the bag. Watch the entire scene again and pay attention to their eyes/facial expressions.

-Also minor things could have contributed to that as well:

-Frank being late( True he had a flat tire) but that would add to any lingering paranoia that wall street might have since franks reputation is very high

-When wall street mentions about frank being late frank simply says he ran into a problem which is another indicator something is wrong

-He also could have been under minor surveillance

-How long was he late because a flat tire on a highly skilled driver should not take very long but if frank was very late for a "flat tire" he is most likely lying( In wall streets eyes) and than if someone is lying what is their reason for lying?


As per the bomb I take it as it was already pre-paired incase something like this went wrong than wall street can simply pass the bomb on. If everything wen't right with no hint of error than the bomb most likely would not have been delivered. I consider the bomb a contingency

This one is very easy.

Frank delivers the package, and the two henchman pick it up and take it into the mansion. 55 seconds later, another henchman exits the mansion with the bomb/briefcase.

Those 55 seconds provided plenty of time for Wall Street's henchmen to confirm whether or not the package was in the same state that it should have been when Frank picked it up. But clearly they were able to see that it was not.

Here is the evidence that Frank had tampered with the package (eg: that he had opened it):

(1) Frank had cut a slit in the tape on her mouth to let her drink the soda. The henchmen would have easily seen this.

(2) When she escaped from Frank when feigning having to pee, she took the tape off and it fell on the ground. When Frank picked it up, it had stuff on it (eg: dried grass or leaves and/or dirt). When Frank catches the girl, he puts the tape back over her mouth and it still has the stuff on it. The henchmen would have easily seen this.

(3) Again, when she escaped briefly, she fell and ended up with leaves in her hair and dirt and scuff marks on her arms. Frank did nothing to clean her up, so the henchmen would have easily see this.

Basically, Frank delivered damaged goods to Wall Street. It is easy to assume that Wall Street would have assumed that the men who delivered the package originally to Frank would have made sure that she was in pristine condition. When Frank delivered her, the henchmen were able to quickly and easily see within 1 minute that her mouth tape had been cut, the tape had become dirty, and the package herself had become dirty as well. The only way this could have happened between the time the package was given to Frank and when he finally delivered it to Wall Street would have been if Frank had opened the package. So, once they saw that, they gave the nod to the bomb guy and when he came out with the briefcase, Wall Street knew immediately that they had determined that Frank had opened the package.

I just watched it again. My theory is...

Wall Street asked him to deliver the bomb after Lai was delivered. Then Frank leaves with the bomb, and in the time it takes Frank to leave the mansion and get his soda, Wall Street will have given Lai some closer inspection, and may have found the slit in the duct tape and the fact that the ropes were cut by Frank, prompting him to set off the bomb via remote detonator because the Transporter failed his job and broke the rules. Most likely his way of testing Frank to see if he could trust him for future deliveries, and blowing him up to tie up loose ends when he realized he couldn't.

"Welcome to the middle of nowhere-  -the center of everywhere."

The answer is simple. He never knew if he looked in the bag or not.

He was always going to kill him anyway "or try to" getting rid of lose ends... so he'd never speak of the girl. That's it mate.

Ahh right.. my baad ! Just got to the scene you where referring to.

Yep! I see what you're on about now.

Apologies. :)
