Episode 9, the series finale of The Assassination of Gianni Versace, title “Alone,” picks up seconds before the fatal shooting of Versace outside of his home. Viewers will see where Cunanan runs off to and his thoughts after. Though if you were expecting immediate regret, you’d be wrong. Predictably, if you know Cunanan by now, he’s unfazed and instead very proud of himself.
So what else can you expect to see this Wednesday? We’ve screened the series finale to bring you an advanced preview of what you’ll see! Avoiding all spoilers? This is your last chance to turn away now!
The second season of American Crime Story had a lot of potential. It could have focused on Gianni’s life (since, you know, the series is named after him), or his family in the aftermath of his murder. Instead, the light was directed at Cunanan and attempts to manipulate audiences into feeling sorry for the killer. “Alone” continues to do that, and tries very hard.
Marylin Miglin is featured in the finale, she’s the best thing about the episode. She won’t hesitate to show her anger or call the police out on not finding Cunanan time.
Here’s the official synopsis for episode eight “Alone” from FX:
The hunt for spree-killer Andrew Cunanan comes to a frantic end.
This episodes was written by Tom Rob Smith and directed by Dan Minahan.
Lines to look out for. Can you guess who delivers them?
- How many more are going to die? How much more pain do you think I can suffer? Two months. You had two months. You had his name, his photo…
- You provide whatever security you think necessary. I have never missed a broadcast in my life.
- Hiding? He wasn’t hiding. He was partying.
- Andrew is not hiding, he’s trying to be seen.
- I’ll be there. 24 hours.
- He was my life. And suddenly I don’t matter? I don’t have a home? I have no rights? I have nothing.
