Plot hole: Inmediately after Jamie Foxx finds the bomb in the city hall, and he says, "We don't tell the mayor anything", we see Gerard Butler arriving to his property next to the prison, and finally he enters his jail cell. So, in the time between Gerard Butler's arrival to the property and his entrance to the jail cell, Jamie Foxx thought about a plan, picked up the bomb, passed through the traffic and security checkpoints, talked to the warden to get access to the prison, entered solitary, handcuffed the bomb, and still had time to wait for Gerard Butler's arrival.
Law Abiding Citizen (2009)
Ending / spoiler
Directed by: F. Gary Gray
Starring: Gerard Butler, Jamie Foxx, Leslie Bibb, Bruce McGill, Colm Meaney
Mike (Jamie Foxx) discovers that Clyde (Gerard Butler) had tunnels leading out of every cell in the prison, which is how he was able to cause all the chaos he caused through the film. Clyde plans to blow up the mayor with a bomb in city hall. After planting the bomb, Clyde returns to his cell where Mike is waiting with a gun. He tries to convince Clyde not to activate the bomb, but Clyde does so anyway. Mike locks him in the cell and leaves as Clyde discovers that Mike moved the bomb underneath his bed. Clyde looks at his daughter's bracelet as he goes up in flames. Mike gets away, but must live with the decision of killing Clyde.

Nick Rice: You end this!
Clyde Shelton: I'm just gettin' warmed up.
Trivia: The same cemetery seen here was also used in Transformers.
Question: In court, Darby asks Nick if he's married. What's the meaning of this question, and why did he ask it? Seems a bit strange to just randomly ask someone that.
Answer: The answer that someone else gave to this question is misleading; indicates that Clyde asked Nick if he was married. It was actually Darby who asks Nick this question. And there really is no answer except that Darby is a menace and a scoundrel. He only asked this to aggravate or pull some kind of thread at Nick. Nick knows this, which is why he replies to him the way he does.
Answer: Probably because he was married with a child, and he wanted to know if he was also married, so he could possibly relate to his situation.

Answer: Because Nick knows this man is guilty. He says it to almost imply, "well since I'm getting off, may as well make a visit to your family next. You married, Nick?"
