Man on Fire

John Creasy (Washington) kills many members of the corrupt organisation 'La Hermandad' who were responsible for kidnapping Pita Ramos (Fanning) and ruining the ransom exchange. Samuel Ramos (Anthony) agreed to the kidnapping, as his lawyer Jordan Kalfus (Rourke) promised him they would get the insurance money to settle the debt that his father left him. As a result of the botched exchange, Samuel kills Jordan, and then kills himself because of the guilt of the death of his daughter. After taking The Voice's brother hostage, Creasy finds out that Pita is still alive, and makes another deal. As no ransom could be paid, Creasy exchanges the brother and himself for Pita. The Voice agrees and the exchange takes place. Already wounded, Creasy meets Pita on a bridge where he tells her that he loves her, and she then runs back to her mother, where they drive away. Creasy dies on the drive back before he can meet The Voice. Miguel Manzano (Giannini) kills The Voice during the course of arrest.

Trivia: In the original ending Creasy is taken to "The Voice" for search and interrogation. After some interesting dialogue, a watch among Creasy's personal effects begins to beep and there is a huge explosion. Sharp eyed viewers will remember this ending was set up during the suppository bomb scene under the bridge where Creasy showed an unused charger, pager, watch, and detonator to the victim. The producers thought that this alternate ending screened as too improbable and closed the plot too neatly.

Also, felt closer to Pita through her swimming.

Answer: It was meant to recuperate damaged muscles after being shot at by kidnappers.

Chosen answer: Creasy swimming in the pool can be considered as as a way to be close to Pita. His blood in the water could also be interpreted as him and Pita becoming one.

Answer: The reason he was swimming in the pool is because he had open bullet hole wounds to his body, the chlorine and bleach in a swimming pool kill bacteria thus helping him from not dying of gangrene before he has a chance to get his revenge. He knew from the first bullet to his body he was not going to make it out alive so he did what he had to do to get as far as he possibly could. He believed she was dead, he had nothing to live for, he was killing as many as he could before he fell off the wagon.
