Seeing that Mary has found happiness at last with Jack, Bobby swears Mike to secrecy about the abuse. An unsupervised incident in the kitchen leads to Bobby being hospitalized by Jack, but Shane gets revenge on Jack by violently biting him on the arm. After spending time in jail, Jack is released following the death of his mother and returns to their house promising never to drink or abuse Bobby again; he violates his promise while the boys are at school and nearly kills Shane. As a result, the brothers devise a plan for Bobby to escape Jack once and for all.
Because the film in fact ends with Bobby successfully evading his stepfather forever, viewers (including Ebert himself) have taken to speculating on the “true” ending, assuming that the one presented was a case of an unreliable narrator. The film was dedicated to the memory of script frozen ride on toy supervisor Nancy Benta Hansen and uncredited production assistant Simone Fuentes, “whose professionalism and humor we miss.” Back in the present, Mike reiterates to his sons the importance of keeping a promise, and imparts a lesson about history being in the mind of the teller.
Under Evans’s direction, the film starred Rosanna Arquette as the mother, Tomas Arana as Jack, and Luke Edwards and James Badge Dale as the children. The budget was set at $17–18 million after Evans agreed to cut some expensive effects sequences. However, Stonebridge executives found the dailies disappointing, and after 10 days of filming, Douglas shut down production, at a loss of $5 million. Douglas then recruited Richard Donner as the film’s new director. With Evans’s blessing, Donner accepted with a $5 million paycheck, while his wife, producer Lauren Shuler Donner came on board.
