As the film’s conclusion approaches, Ernest faces conviction for his crimes against Mollie’s family and the Osage people, portraying a personal and devastating scene that emphasizes Mollie’s agency—something often omitted in narratives about Native Americans. The next scene boldly propels the narrative into the future, where a cast of entirely white actors recreates the Osage story for a stage-produced radio drama. With Foley sound effects, a sonorous narrator, and a cheering crowd, this version transforms FBI lawman Tom White into a conquering hero, neatly dispatching the villains in a cozy narrative conclusion that starkly contrasts with the unfolding reality. Martin Scorsese himself steps onstage, shifting the film from reality, reading the untold part of the story that never made it into The Lucky Strike Hour—the fate of Mollie, the heroine. Scorsese’s words, describing Mollie’s obituary, resonate as the final ones in the film: “There was no mention of the murders.” This poignant revelation underscores the historical distortion and the deeper, darker conspiracy that the film meticulously unravels.
