Hide and Seek

DeNiro is Charlie. Dr. Callaway has a split personality. As "Charlie" he killed his wife and others. Emily (Dakota Fanning) knows about the two personalities and witnessed her mother's murder, but she plays along with her dad's dual identities in order to keep him from freaking out. Emily goes and lives with Famke Jensen's character and draws a picture of them, all playing happy family. but in the final shot, we see Emily has drawn herself with two heads (so now she has two personalities!)

Continuity mistake: When David is writing about Emily needing more time, etc. you see three lines in the close-up of him writing. When he picks up his hand and notices the spot on his palm there are 5 lines of writing on the paper. (00:17:45)

Trivia: The tagline is "Come out, come out wherever you are." This is (arguably) also De Niro's most famous line from Cape Fear.

Question: Would it be possible for someone to explain something to me? What is the significance of the time 2:06? Obviously it's when David wakes up in the middle of the night, but why?

Answer: That is the time the he supposedly woke up to find his wife dead in the beginning of the movie, so now he has nightmares and wakes up at the exact same time.
