By the way, that whole element of the movie is not in the book. A lot of people complained about the significant changes to the book in translating it to the movie. I liked both and understand the reasoning. The book's version would have been too hard to do without a lot of exposition of voiceover.

If anybody wants to read the book I'd be happy to send it along.
Spoiler:
According to p. 147 of the searchable screenplay on Amazon, Angier didn't know whether he'd be committing suicide or murder.
