What happens with Jimmy Simpson in 'Nobody Dumps My Daughter'?
Jimmy meets Theresa after understanding his mistake and asks for forgiveness for breaking her heart. However, Theresa blames him for causing her embarrassment and breaking her trust, to which the boy apologizes profusely, emphasizing that he does not want her to believe that he exploited her for physical gratification. The apology does make Theresa feel better, but she declines Jimmy's request to meet the next day.
In short, it was evident that the couple had buried their hatchet and that things might return to normal. However, the very next day, things take a drastic turn as Jimmy gets gunned down while washing his car, resulting in his death on the spot. On the other side, Theresa, who was unaware of the devastating news, goes numb when she learns of her lover's death. Even when her mother Mary tried to console her, she couldn't shake the sorrow of losing Jimmy.
Who killed Jimmy Simpson in 'Nobody Dumps My Daughter'?
As the police investigation begins, Detective Herandez discovers a business card with a blood spatter and uses it to track down the culprit. Jimmy's funeral is an emotional affair and when Theresa returns home, she argues with her mother, Mary. Theresa expresses disappointment that her mother was not there at the burial to which Mary responds by asking why she should be at the funeral of the boy who took her daughter's virginity, leaving Theresa stunned. Not only that, but Mary's assurance that Theresa's virginity would be restored when Jimmy, the lad who had taken her, died caused Theresa to become speechless. In the following scene, Hernandez is shown interrogating Jeffrey Lopez (Zak Santiago), who initially denied any involvement in the crime but eventually revealed Ana's (Sheila E) identity.
Ana, who is equally distraught, decides to assist the authorities and meets Mary while the encounter is being monitored by police. Ana requests $500 to be handed to the killers, to which Mary expresses her displeasure, adding that the killers may blackmail them in the future. She also advises that they hire another assassin to get rid of these killers, while police continue to hear their conversation. As Mary admits to giving money to cover up the murder, authorities arrest her immediately. In the following scene, Mary is indicted in the murder case, and Theresa questions her father about why they did not attend the court hearing. To this, her sad father, who is seeing Theresa's deceased brother's photo, recalls what may have occurred if their son had not died: Mary would not have been an obsessive mother and Jimmy would not have died. In the following scene, Thresea visits her mother in prison and demands the truth, but the delusional mother maintains her charade and claims she did not kill Jimmy. Finally, a disappointed Theresa storms off from prison, swearing never to face her mother again. The movie ends with Theresa expressing her gratitude to Jimmy and requesting forgiveness as she visits his grave.
