When Vandamm finds out that Eve Kendall is actually a spy, he plans to kill her but Roger intercepes Eve as they both try to espace Vandamm and his henchmen by climbing down Mount Rushmore. On Mount Rushmore, Roger battles Leonard (Martin Landau) who later falls to his death as police arrest Vandamm. Roger and Eve survive the ordeal and later get married.
Continuity mistake: In the scene where Eve writes on the note pad she doesn't write enough. Later you can see much more to the address.(01:20:50 - 01:25:15)
Question: Why do the kidnappers take Thornhill to the Townsend home and pretend to be Lester Townsend and members of his household? They could have taken him to some obscure place instead, at less risk of being found out.
Answer:More than likely, they felt that Roger would be dead and they would not be found out. The fact that he survives their DUI plot and returns to the house with the police only serves to makes him look more suspicious and guilty. It's to move the plot along, nothing more.
The bigger plot hole is, if Van Dam really believes Roger is Kaplan, why would he think that Roger would bring the police and go through the trouble of preparing "Mrs. Kaplan" to make the police think he's crazy? If Roger really was a spy, he doesn't need help from the police and would have just disappeared instead of retracing his steps. So if Van Dam anticipated the actions taken by Roger, he must believe at some level that Roger is telling the truth and would have looked deeper into it.
