Murphy killing Napier
The scene where Murphy killed Napier was a dream, it is unknown if it actually happened, or if it was just a dream.Aquilus758 02:20, March 13, 2012 (UTC)

lets just assume so for now, its more solid than anything else we have, dont you think? -- Murphy Pendleton  :D  02:26, March 13, 2012 (UTC)

It is impossible that it was a dream; it had to have been a flashback, otherwise the plot wouldn't make sense at all. Murphy's plan to get himself convicted in order to be able to murder Napier would have never happened and we would have no "Silent Hill Downpour" for starters.

Even if you believe that he had PLANNED to murder Napier, but didn't follow through with it, that wouldn't make any sense either. Murphy's deal with Sewell was what set in motion the death of Frank (which is canon), because Murphy owed Frank a favor after murdering Napier. If Murphy hadn't accepted the deal, he would have never even been in the same room as Frank during his beating, Anne would not have created the plan to transfer Murphy to her penitentiary, and she would have no reason to believe that Murphy was responsible for the death of her father (which would cancel out the entire confrontation between him and Anne at the end of the game).

When JP asks Murphy if he ever hurt anyone, Murphy responds with: "only those that deserved it," which can only make sense if he murdered Napier as Murphy was not responsible for hurting anyone else.

In the lecture given to him by the nun in the orphanage/monestary, he admits to murdering Napier as well.

Well this is odd, in the A and C endings (Forgiveness & Truth and Justice) Sewell reveals that he finished off Napier, since Murphy was unable to land the finishing blow. This lead to the fact that Murphy has never murdered anyone.Aquilus758 19:06, March 18, 2012 (UTC)

I just rewatched the endings (it would be B for Truth and Justice, C for Full-Circle i believe), and you're right, sorry for the mistake. They leave it intentionally vague so that he doesn't have to have killed Napier, meaning that the player doesn't know whether or not its a dream. He says: "i'm sorry for what i DID to Napier," to the nun, but he never explicitly says what that is. Again, sorry --Carousel123 1:03 pm March 22, 2012
