The Long Kiss Goodnight

30. True or False: It took Samantha less than a minute to put together the rifle she found in one of her suitcases?

31. Where did Samantha see a reflection of the person she was trying to remember, and how did that person's appearance differ from her own?

32. What did Mitch tell Samantha about the four years he spent in Marion, Illinois?

33. Why did Samantha think Daedalus (David Morse) was her fiancé?

34. How did Waldman find Mitch and Samantha on the farm that Daedalus owned?

35. Daedalus should have shot Samantha and been done with it when he had the chance instead of torturing her for the information he never got. He also made two other mistakes that cost him his life. What are we referring to?

36. What did Samantha remember about her past while she was submerged beneath the mill?

37. The fate that befell Daedalus was revealed to Perkins in a clever way. Do you remember how it was done?

38. How did Samantha test Perkins to see if he was setting her up?

39. This next question includes three quotes. Two have something in common. What we want you to do is to tell us which one doesn't belong.

A. "I hope not because I'm thinking how
much my balls hurt."
B. "I never did one thing right in my life.
Not one. That takes skill."
C. "No, I sock 'em in the jaw and yell
pop goes the weasel!"

40. Mitch voiced his displeasure over something that was bothering him right before Samantha pushed him out of a moving vehicle. What was it?

41. Fill in the blank: Mitch was referring to the cash and the ___________ that Samantha wanted when he sarcastically remarked, "hold on a minute while I pull that out of my ass."

42. What did Samantha remember about the blank key she found?

43. Samantha threatened a young boy named Raymond (Dan Warry-Smith) twice. Once before she left and then when she returned home. What did Samantha want the boy to stop doing, and what did each of the threats involve?

44. There was a reason why Caitlin didn't scream when she was kidnapped. What was it?

45. File this next question under the category of Someone wouldn't do that to a child, would they? What did Timothy threaten to do to Caitlin if Samantha didn't follow his exact instructions?

46. Do you remember the skill that Timothy claimed to possess? When he told Samantha that he could tell if someone was lying to him she asked him if she was wrong about two different things. We'll give you one of the answers - His fate. "You're gonna die screaming" she said, "and I'm gonna watch." Did the other one involve Caitlin?

47. Were it not for a favor, Samantha probably would have froze to death. To whom was she indebted and why?

48. Let's say Samantha was killed in the explosion that blew open the freezer door. If Timothy had gotten to what was left of her before the authorities did, he may have kept one of the last promises he made. Where would her body have been buried if the story played out under that scenario?

49. True or False: Perkins knew that over 4,000 lives would be lost when he gave the go ahead for Operation Honeymoon?

50. What would have been found five miles from the blast site if the operation succeeded?

Answers

1. She was shot in the head when she tried to get away from the men that tried to kill her in 1988.

2. Charlene Elizabeth Baltimore

3. Focal retrograde

4. That may be true, but the correct answer is false because the story never got into the specifics of how she eventually became a full-time teacher.

5. She was assigned to take out a munitions dealer (Daedalus) and his hired enforcer (Timothy).

6. Samantha found a blank key with some numbers filed away in her back pocket when she woke up from the attack that left her with no memory of her past life as a trained assassin.

7. She took her eyes off the road when Earl began waving his hands around to prove that he wasn't drunk.

8. A local news station aired some footage of the Christmas parade she participated in.

9. A & B were answered. C & D weren't.

10. She threw her daughter through the hole he blasted in the wall.

11. Because he was knocked to the ground with a pie tin.

12. C

13. Yes, Caitlin repeated those words after her mom collapsed near the overturned tanker truck.

14. She fell while ice skating.

15. She wanted Caitlin to keep a candle burning in the window. "To light my way home," she said.

16. Samantha gave her daughter the bracelet for good luck.

17. Nathan Waldman's

18. True, he took the case for one reason only: he needed the money.

19. One of the bums he hired to pose as his backup had trouble reciting the Miranda Rights. You could also say he looked (and probably smelled) too much like a bum, as well.

20. He said he'd personally hire a man to "ass-fuck" him for the next ten years.

21. She traced a stolen credit card back to an apartment that Samantha used to rent.

22. He asked her to turn on the car's broken heater because it made a noise that distracted him from the cold.

23. She got his number from a Realtor in Massachusetts.

24. True

25. He told her that her father used to be in the Royal Irish Rangers, and that he was murdered in Belfast in 1975.

26. He adopted her as his own daughter. The word "recruited" was used by Waldman, but whatever his intentions were, he provided a home for her when her father died.

27. Samantha fired her gun to break her fall right before she plunged into a frozen lake.

28. The Dutch Cabins

29. He sang to himself to help him remember things he didn't want to forget, like turning off a light.

30. True

31. She saw the reflection in a motel room mirror. Charlene was wearing a darker shade of lipstick, more eyeliner and her hair was wet and combed back. She also had some blood dripping from the left side of her face.

32. He told her it was where he was sent to prison for the bonds he stole.

33. Because she remembered so much personal information about him, like the pin he had in his leg, and that he sat down when he peed. But that was because she studied him as a target.

34. Mitch's notepad was in the jacket that was thrown over his head.

35. He underestimated Samantha's threshold for pain, as well as her skill as a trained assassin. The other mistake he made was not searching Waldman's entire body.

36. She remembered how One-Eyed Jack tried to kill her. She also remembered Timothy telling Jack, "do yourself a favor, don't let her looks fool you. She's the fuckin' Energizer bunny. Just do her and dump her. Don't try to get cute and play doctor first. I made that mistake (and it) nearly killed me."

37. Perkins obtained the information from a local news report. Samantha told him to turn on his TV when she called him from a pay phone in New Jersey.

38. She waited near the pay phone she called him from to see if he'd send someone to "erase" her.

39. B didn't answer a question. The other two did. This one was worth at least three points if you got it right. Give yourself two more if you remembered what the questions were - "Are you thinking what I'm thinking?" and "ever try (biting a virgin on the ear to distract her from the pain)?"

40. He noticed that she kept using the word "I" like she didn't need him anymore.

46. Yes, she made him look into her daughter's eyes to prove that he was her father.

47. Timothy did Samantha a huge favor when he locked her in the freezer with her daughter. Had he let Caitlin go, she wouldn't have had the resources she needed to escape. You could also say she was indebted to Perkins for the doll that was used to hide the gasoline.

48. Somewhere in Pennsylvania

49. True, he knew exactly what the number of casualties would be.

50. The body of a dead Arab, and the car he was going to be left in.

51. The CIA needed another terrorist attack, like the 1993 World Trade Center bombing, to justify another budget increase.

nickname?

21. Where did Trin's (Melina Kanakareded) first lead on Samantha come from?

22. Mitch asked Samantha to do something in his car that seemed kind of odd, even after he explained why he wanted her to do it. What was it?

24. True or False: The reason why Waldman knew so much about Samantha was because he was the agent that trained her to become an assassin for the CIA?

25. What did Waldman tell Samantha about her father?

26. How did Perkins (Patrick Malahide) help Samantha after her father passed away?
