So we all heard Poessy tell to JDW about those bullets that
"somebody has been manufacturing those from the future."
Look what the Russian (or Ukranian) guy is holding in his hand while torturing and questioning JDW...

Maybe one of those bullets.

*And maybe is asking JDW whether he knows smth about them and where he can find them.
*Or maybe he noticed the guy who saved him use those bullets and is asking JDW whether he knows him or not, so that they can find them.
*And then maybe this Ukrainan or Russian guy whatever he is, is actually working for Keneth, and while he noticed this happening, now he goes and tells Keneth about this strange thing that he noticed, and that there is some time reversing technology out-there that might be useful to them.

*Keneth now finds out about this and goes hunting for this technology because he needs to use this for a big personal profit thing or even maybe personal & sentimental.

*And this is the reason why JDW's character and Keneth's character cross paths later in the film.
Something like that I mean. Maybe you guys might have a better idea about this.

I don't think that's a bullet, but a cyanide capsule.

Yes maybe you're right. How did I not thought about this!? :lol:
I mean It's obvious , that's why JDW dies in there...they make him swallow that.

For a moment it looked like a bullet to me.

what kind of pill would it have to be though, does cyanide make your eyes turn red ? possibly the most horrible death in any Nolan film

Cyanide is the most powerful poison that spies used for suicide when held capture by the enemy... it's very powerful.

Certainly is, im wondering wether its effects are enhanced for artistic reasons in the film, as far as i know cyanide basically prevents the cells of your body from using oxigen, doesnt sound like such a bloody death.

Well before he is made to take the cyanide capsule, I'm sure JDW is subjected to more cinematic violence like manhandling and a physical interrogation which gives him the bloodshot eyes. Then probably they threaten the life of JDW's fake VIP which JDW must not give in to which is why the Russian kicks the fake VIP's chair seemingly shooting him afterwards.

( think like the Casino Royale interrogation scene. They go for physical violence against the lead, which doesn't work because they're spies who are thoroughly trained. Hence the next step is to test their humanity which is threatening the lives of people they care about)

She had white hair for the entire shooting, I guess. She has it in the trailers and in the shooting footages as well.

My take on that scene, is that Nolan will show some original interrogation method mixed with game theory (ie, prisoner's dilemma) When that guy throws the other guy, I remember Bane on the plan, and the "he didn't fly so good, who wants to try next?" quote.

Also, they are alined, like the black and white hats riddle:
