Dangerous Lies ending explained
The story traces the journey of Katie, along with her husband Adam, who was under the service of an old and rich gentleman Leonard, who dies mysteriously one day. The couple is informed by Leonard’s lawyer that they are left with Leonard’s entire estate. The couple then finds a chest full of money in the attic. Here is where the primary mystery begins in the plot.
The two decide to keep the money, and Adam tries to take yet another step and decides that they would evade taxes as well. Katie, trying to do better, insists that they should follow the rules. Unfortunately for the couple, a real estate agent named Mickey Hayden enters their life, completely insistent on buying the house. He starts snooping around as well. Adam is blamed by many, as they start claiming that he might have been the murderer of Leonard. Katie remembers how Adam’s first reaction after realising that Leonard is dead is to burn his belongings and bury him, leaving just the princess-cut diamonds that he owned.
The lawyer, played by Jamie Chung, convinces Katie that Adam cannot be trusted. The detective who is looking at the case, Detective Chesler, also has her eyes on Adam. Adam suggests to Katie that they should leave the house and go away.
As they are about to leave, Mickey is standing in the hallway with a gun. He is not a real estate agent but is a jewel thief, who is behind the bag of diamonds. He was the gardener’s partner, but the two were not successful in robbing Leonard. Adam and Mickey shoot at each other. Katie is upset that she never realised how Adam is the one who killed Leonard, and now Adam is also dead.
Lawyer Julia later reveals to Katie that she was also working with Mickey and wanted the diamonds as well, so she created a fake will. Detective Chesler enters the house to see Julia holding Katie at gunpoint. The detective then kills Julia. The movie takes four months’ leap, where Katie is six months pregnant and gardening. Julia comes and informs Katie that Adam has been removed from the suspects' list. Katie turns on the sprinkles only to reveal the diamonds spread around haphazardly in the mulch.
