'A different kind of bleak': How 'Defending Jacob' changed the book's tragic ending
In ‘Defending Jacob,’ based on the book by William Landay, creator Mark Bomback takes on the ‘murder gene.’ We looked into the science behind it.
The peace Laurie found when the charges against Jacob were dropped is irreversibly disturbed. While driving, she asks her son to tell her the truth. Jacob, afraid of his mother’s gradual speeding on such a rainy day, says, “Fine, I killed him, OK? Whatever you want, just slow down, please.” Chris Evans’ character Andy learns “to own up to everything that he’s been trying to conceal,” said “Defending Jacob” creator Mark Bomback.This event echoes the ending of the 2012 book on which the show is based. In the novel — which tells the story solely from Andy’s perspective — Hope is eventually found dead, and Laurie never learns of the forced confession.
Bomback opted to change the ending because “this felt more true to the story we were telling over these eight hours, whereas in the book, Laurie is in the dark, and [the crash] is more a reaction to the realization that Jacob killed another person and might become a serial killer.
