During the editing phase, Singer thought that they had completed the film two weeks early, but woke up one morning and realized that they needed that time to put together a sequence that convinced the audience that Dean Keaton was Söze — and then do the same for Verbal Kint because the film did not have "the punch that Chris had written so beautifully."
Tijekom faze montaže filma, Singer je mislio da su završili film dva tjedna prije roka, ali se jednog jutra probudio i shvatio da su trebali još vremena kako bi montirali sekvencu koja će uvjeriti publiku da je Dean Keaton zapravo Söze - te nakon toga napraviti isto s Verbalom Kintom zbog toga što film nije imao "udarac kakav je Chris tako lijepo napisao".
