What Were Keyser Söze’s True Intentions?
When Verbal tells the story about Keyser Söze killing his entire family, and then hunting down all the men that contributed to their death and tried to bring down his empire, he mentions Söze killing thieves who stole from him. When McManus, Hockney, Keaton, Verbal, and Fred Fenster (Benicio del Toro) first meet Kobayashi, he mentions all the ways they have each stolen or stopped some form of Söze’s business.
I believe that that part of Verbal’s story is true (except the part involving him of course). He targeted these four men because they have hurt his business and he wants to kill them, and get rid of them as nuisances. I also believe that Keaton was involved because he knew he could pin everything on him.
