My memory plays a joke on me about this movie

Looking at the record, I marked this movie in 2008, and the actual viewing time may be earlier. I always remember a very frustrating ending, as if one of the protagonists died and the other was powerless. Just watch the criminals get away with it. However, in my memory, the hero is dead, the heroine is alive, finds her father to question, but is powerless to get the truth, and can only continue to live under his control. I can remember the water company, I can remember my father, how can I confuse such an important ending? Maybe I just had a hard time accepting the result and subconsciously changed it. It was so distressing. I even believe that the male protagonist would rather the female protagonist survive.

    Polanski is a good driver. He drives steadily and can deliver passengers to their destinations in time. Passengers can also enjoy the scenery along the way. Unlike the current drivers who slam on the gas pedal, they just want to quickly send the passengers to the destination, and then collect the money to take the next order. They don't care whether the passengers are sick or not.

    The first half was too slow. I was sitting on the bed watching it. The opponent said to Jack that people can do anything at the right time and in the right place. Angry but powerless, this is the normal state of the movie and reality. Three years later, when Polanski seduced a 13-year-old girl, he himself became the omnipotent villain, and he also escaped legal sanctions—the critics became the objects of his criticism. It has to be said that Polanski's film changes or predicts his fate, which is very terrifying and mysterious.
