The Carver and his Identity

It's time for me to theorize on the identity of The Carver. Well, they've said it's a main character/cast member. He's considered to be male. He seems to have a medical knowledge about tranquilizers. The obvious choice would be Dr. Costa, the new guy brought on in Season 3. I don't think it's him, but I do think the actor supplies the voice as shown in this audio fix. Considering the only time The Carver speaks in Season 2 is when Dr. Costa is making his only appearance as well. But he was in Atlanta or Sudan during the first attacks so it probably wasn't him.

Well I don't like the idea of Sean and Christian taking turns because the voice would change slightly with each tone. Also in the last episode of Season 2, even though it is intercut, Sean is waiting for The Carver as Christian is attacked. They're also not doing it to get more clients because all the work on the victims is pro bono and they don't really want that publicity necessarily.

The second obvious guess would be Liz, which is Steph's pick, because she knows medical supplies, she knows how to knock a person out with a drug, and she's a lesbian and would have access to a dildo to simulate rape without leaving DNA evidence. Throw a condom on there and you have an alibi why it's a man. They did say in the preview that rape is not about sex, but about power. She's also featured in it as a suspect. She had an abortion when she found out the child would have birth defects so she is concerned about the beauty she sees herself as not having. Also, we don't delve into her personal life on the show as much so we don't explore her whereabouts. She is tired of repairing the victims though. I don't really see it in her character, but out of all of them, she seems most possible.

I was also thinking maybe Gina, because she's a freak. She is also not paid much attention and the arbiter said she was dangerous (to a baby) but I don't think she's that sadistic, but then again, I don't see Liz that sadistic also. We were poking fun that it could be Matt because he's so hideous, but I don't take that too seriously. For a while I thought it was Ava because she really has no whereabouts and she is twisted, but I think she was too busy with Matt and Adrian to go around raping. Daniele thought it was Adrian for a while until she saw him die.

I think it would be funny if it turned out to be Dr. Santiago. She was simply ignored in Season 2 after being so prevalent in Season 1 and she was a main cast member at the time. They just dropped her without explanation and she knows things about medicine. I think that would be so out of the way, but karma.

How I see the finale? I would like to see a scene of the family breaking bread like they did in the previous seasons as a nice touch, but the reveal...I could see them doing some sort of reveal from behind (if the character has recognizable hair) but not show the face. I hope that they only show the face to the audience and not the characters. It's fun watching Season 3 when you have no idea who he is, but Season 4 would be fun if we know, but they have no clue.

My pick:

Liz

Who do you think it is?
