Other mistake: When Sam is going through Creasy's resume in the back of the Mercedes, the resume speaks of a "Mr. Rosche", not Creasy. (00:09:40)

Other mistake: When Creasy thumbs through Pita's journal (which, unusual for American English, is addressed by her as "Dear Diary"), you can catch a glimpse on her first entry, made on a page titled "January 1", but reading "Today at school I had a great time." So, if she's alleged to be keeping her diary true-to-date, she's describing a school day on New Year's Day. Also, her handwriting changes considerably within the next three months (cf. April entry) - but then suddenly changes back in June.

Other mistake: In the cemetery all of the headstones are blank except for Ryer. (01:26:25)

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.
