In the narrative this document, video, or eyewitness testimony becomes the smoking gun at the denouement -that it is revealed that the villain is and has been a seditionist and traitor, and that long-forgotten scene, early in the film, takes on paramount importance.
In spy thrillers made in the 1970s, a senior agent would quietly enter the domicile or vacation home and use a silencer or poison/injection. These days, there is a trial and the individual is found guilty on all counts.
So much for Hollywood
