__TOC__
== Throughout The Final Cut ==
As a child, he had a traumatic experience involving his friend Louis. Later in life, he becomes a skilled "cutter," a profession that involves editing the memories of the deceased into memorial videos for funerals. Hakman specializes in creating idealized narratives for controversial individuals. He is approached by a former cutter, Fletcher, who seeks incriminating memories from one of Hakman's clients, a wealthy businessman named Charles Bannister.
During his work on Bannister's memories, Hakman stumbles upon a disturbing scene that suggests Bannister may have molested his daughter, Isabel. Despite this unsettling revelation, Hakman continues with his editing. As he delves deeper into his own past, he discovers that his parents had implanted memories into him, leading to personal distress. He seeks help from anti-implant protestors to block the implant's effects and shows surreal footage from a defective implant to his lover, Delila.
However, Delila discovers compromising memories of her past relationship in Hakman's collection, leading to a heated confrontation. When Fletcher and his associate break into Hakman's apartment, they find nothing of value. Hakman ultimately turns to his colleagues for help in recovering live footage from his own implant, a risky procedure. This footage reveals that his childhood memory was not as traumatic as he believed.
Hakman's life takes a tragic turn as Fletcher learns about his implant and a deadly confrontation ensues. In the end, Fletcher gains access to Hakman's memories and promises to use them for the greater good, but the film concludes with an unsettling revelation about Hakman's past.
