And if that wasn't weird enough, the end credits feature Trixie singing along to Leo Sayer's "You Make Me Feel Like Dancing". Instead, the film ends with a baffling car chase and two people inexplicably deciding to stay together despite the fact that one's a cold-blooded murderer and the other's a serial adulterer. The film constantly hints at a breaking point between the Van Allens, and including the original ending from the novel would have been a perfect cap on said tension.
And when he confronts her on it, she's less than sympathetic to his plight she even taunts him with the fact that if she wasn't in his life, he'd probably commit suicide. Throughout Deep Water, Vic is shown to be less than copacetic with the fact that his wife is sleeping around with him. The novel's ending not only fits in with the thriller aspect of the film, but it also makes more sense. Congratulations Knives Out, you no longer have the "dumbest car chase of all time." Don has long been suspicious of Vic's behavior, to the point where he hired a private investigator to look into him he soon engages in a car chase with Vic in pursuit on his bike (yes, really) and ends up careening off a cliff. He soon discovers that Tony's body has floated back to the surface and tries to push it down, but is caught by his new neighbor Don Wilson ( Tracy Letts). Upon getting back home, Melinda realizes that she left her scarf and Vic goes back to get it in the morning. That soon changes after he and Melinda go out for a picnic with their daughter Trixie ( Grace Jenkins).
Vic manages to weigh Tony's body down in the river with even more rocks and thinks he's gotten away scot-free with murder. And in case there was any doubt that Vic really is a murderer, he takes Tony out to the middle of the woods and hurls a rock at his head - which causes Tony to fall down a hill and break open his head on another rock. But then at another party held by Vic's friend Jonas ( Dash Mihok), Charlie is found dead in the swimming pool after a steamy dip with Melinda. At a party, Vic tells one of Melinda's lovers that he murdered a man, which in and of itself is unsettling - and only grows more unsettling when he laughs it off as a joke. Throughout Deep Water, Vic Van Allen (Affleck) has to deal with his wife Melinda (de Armas) and her seemingly endless parade of lovers, including pianist Charlie ( Jacob Elordi) and her old college fling Tony ( Finn Wittrock).
