For those that have read the book, is the scene at the end of the last episode based in fact or was it fictional, particularly the suicide attempt and having the agent visit him there? The physical intimidation aspect seemed to me to be partly inspired by this incident:quote:On one occasion, when Douglas' colleague Robert Ressler was in a cell alone with Kemper, Kemper—who at the time weighed 300 pounds (136 kg)—noticed the apprehension in Ressler after he had pressed a hidden button repeatedly to call a guard to open the cell yet not received a response and told him "Relax. They're changing the shift," but remarked: "If I went apeshit in here, you'd be in a lot of trouble, wouldn't you? I could screw your head off and place it on the table to greet the guard."[71] Ressler verbally sparred with Kemper until the guard arrived, ultimately leaving unharmed with Kemper displaying no physical aggression. Kemper also stated afterwards that he was joking, but Ressler never entered a cell alone again with Kemper and it became FBI policy to interview serial killers in pairs. Also, Kemper's Wikipedia article briefly mentions suicide attempts that took place before his trial, but nothing after he was sentenced.

whatever7 posted:Fincher should have just made a Ed Kemper movie to begin with, because he rules. The scene at the end of the final episode with Kemper in the hospital might be my favorite Fincher scene ever, and that's saying a lot.
