How did Joy escape?

How did Joy escape? - Close Up of Woman Hands Holding Spruce Twig

The movie Prisoners is quite difficult to understand. I am still trying to understand how Joy escaped.

When Joy was in the hospital, it seems that Bob was in her flashback. So did he help her escape?

Do we know where was she found?



Best Answer

The kidnapper Holly Jones mentions that she brought the girls from the underground prison to her house because she was lonely with Alex Jones gone.

Joy's flashback in the hospital indicates that, at some point while they are in the house, Keller Dover shows up for his visit with Holly Jones. Joy and Keller's daughter are both drugged and mostly unconscious, but Joy hears or otherwise senses that Keller is on the property, so that's why she mentions it in the hospital.

Later, the girls somehow managed to make a run for it from the house - but only Joy succeeds in getting away. The flashback shows Joy running through some woods and then arriving at the edge of a freeway, where presumably she was rescued by passers-by.

Who kidnapped Anna Joy?

At one point her husband left her, presumably feeling guilt for their crimes. He confessed his crimes to a local priest, who later killed him and threw the body into the church's basement. Even with her husband gone, Holly doesn't stop and abducts Joy Birch and Anna Dover.

How did Joy know Keller was there?

When Joy sees Keller at the hospital, she remembers him being at Holly's house. Joy says "You were there, they put tape on my mouth." Meaning that when Keller was at Holly's house, Holly put tape on the girl's mouths to keep them quiet.

Who took Anna and joy in Prisoners?

Holly Jones (Melissa Leo) kidnapped the two little girls.

Did Keller survive in Prisoners?

Keller is alive and is blowing his daughter's red whistle for help. Loki hears it and shrugs it off, but as the whistle's sound amplifies, Loki realizes something is off, and then the camera cuts to black. The End.
