User Info: Nogarda Nogarda 11 years ago 3 i found it weird how you never saw him throughout the rest of the game as a corpse or whatever during the game, and i was delighted to see him tucked away in the final cutscene : 'Get a reputation for answering phones, and all they do is ring. User Info: jigowah jigowah 11 years ago 6 Was that Nightingale in the window behind Rose during the final cut-scene? User Info: shsteve shsteve 11 years ago 7 In the The Alan Wake Files, it's suggested that Nightingale suffered the same nightmares as Wake and Clay Stewart the guy who gets killed by the hitchiker.

User Info: C41d3 C41d3 11 years ago 8 Could also be that Wake simply just wrote him in to have someone that chases him, someone that pushes him forward, other than the Dark Presence and saving Alice. User Info: coolositymax coolositymax 11 years ago 9 That's certainly possible.

Where was his wife? And most importantly, why did she let Wake go? I considered surrender, it was all falling apart anyway; I could give in, let someone else deal with it. Shots ringing in my ears I leaped for the hole in the fence and stumbled into the darkness beyond.

Nightingale stared through the broken studio window into the dark woods, he turned around, started to walk out, but Maine grabbed his arm. Agent Nightingale stared at the passed-out writer. The man was sleeping off one hell of a night. But he had a job to do. And almost became a murderer. His hand shook and his throat felt tight and dry, biting his teeth, he tried again to pull the trigger, he lost the nerve.

As the deputies hauled Wake and Wheeler away, Agent Nightingale eagerly examined the stack of papers Wake had been carrying. Nightingale tried to make sense of the manuscript.

It was disjointed and strange. He didn't understand half of it, but it all rang true. He took out his hip flask when he reached the page that described how he reached the page that made him take out his hip flask.

I stared through the bars of the jail cell, Barry stood behind me, swaying on his feet, looking as ill as I felt. Agent Nightingale stood on the other side of the bars with Sheriff Breaker. Nightingale had a stack of manuscript pages in his hand. He seemed unhinged as he gloated:. Nightingale felt the situation veering out of his control, but the gun at least felt steady in his hands. He was ready to fire, resolved that he would let this happen over his dead body — and yet he hesitated.

Instead of attempting to surround and apprehend Wake quietly, Nightingale opens fire, showing a complete lack of regard for radio presenter Pat Maine, who is in the room with Wake at the time. Again Nightingale shows his determination to take down Alan Wake no matter what the cost. Nightingale finally manages to track Wake down again, at the Anderson Brothers' farm. At the time, Alan and Barry are passed out from drinking the Anderson Brothers' moonshine.

It is revealed through manuscript pages that Nightingale had been contemplating shooting Wake in cold blood, but resigns himself to simply making an arrest when Wake rouses from his sleep. Back at the police station, Nightingale takes his time to taunt Wake behind bars. Nightingale has discovered the manuscript pages Wake was carrying, and tells Wake he's going to jail for a long time. During an argument between Nightingale, Sheriff Breaker and Wake, Nightingale realizes he is acting and speaking exactly as a manuscript page had described.

As Nightingale tries to find the page amongst the stack of papers, the Dark Presence bursts forth from the door and drags Nightingale out into the dark. It is thought that Nightingale perishes at this point, however he is shown one last time during the ending cinematic of the game.
