If I understood correctly, the whole thing started when she received the envelope with the ink-stained banknote. That is when she decided to track him down. But why would he choose to announce to a cop that he was back? For revenge? If that is what he wanted, he could have very easily ambushed her somewhere and killed her. Or was it someone else who sent her the envelope? I don't think there was any indication of that.
shareI think it was Silas but I had trouble figuring out his motivation unless he knew she was sitting on the money.
sharehe doesnt supposed to have any motivation.
it's a mataphysical story, not a moral one.
the flashback scenes are crucial to understand this.
this is not a detective story. it uses genre to create something else.
the villian is the concept of TIME, the way i see it.
He wanted the money he knew she stole. He was runing out of cash.
She hadn’t touched it since the theft and didn’t realize it was useless, however.
That's what I got out of it.
I'm not sure why, when she meets him, he says "So, you didn't get away?"
He knew she was a cop and got his letter, else she couldn't have tracked him down. He wasn't even sure if Petra was coming, as he had to ask Bell.
I did enjoy the circular ending, though.

I wondered whether this was a revenge/reconciliation with daughter dream. The dealings with colleagues were surreal, the shoot out was spacey, why would she go back to the scene of the murder, she would not have been able to work for so many years in such a state and the final meeting with Silas seemed like fantasy.
