Why Did Archer Tell Lauren About The Bunker?
One common question that comes into everyone’s mind about inheritance movie is Why did Archer tell Lauren about The Bunker? The truth about Carson might have died with Archer if he didn’t reveal about the bunker.
The reason why he told his daughter about Carson was because of his guilt in killing Morgan. He didn’t want to slaughter another man, so he decided to tell about Carson.

At the movie’s beginning, Lauren says that Archer died in an accident, but some flashes prove that something was more to his death. Every time Archer went into the bunker, he tried to poison Carson but came out with a change of heart.
Carson managed to get his hand on these poisons and created a lethal dose. One day, while Archer is playing chess with Carson, he injects the poison dose into Archer’s body. Archer gets out of the bunker and tries to seek help, but it is too late.
Is Carson Lauren’s Biological Father?
In the end of Inheritance movie, Carson reveals that he is Lauren’s biological father, which might be true because Archer also believed the same. When Lauren confronts her mother, she says that she is a Monroe, implying that she is Archer’s daughter. There was no proper answer to this question, but the way she sticks up with her family, she is a real Monroe.
What Happened At The End Of Inheritance?
