In the final moments of the "Ray Donovan: The Movie," which premiered on Showtime Friday and offers a true finale for the seven-season series that ended last January, Ray (Liev Schreiber) nods off in the back of an ambulance.

The moment wraps a 100-minute movie spurred in part by fan outrage when the series was canceled. Schreiber says when Showtime axed the series, centered on Boston-born and bred Donovan, who became a "fixer" for Los Angeles' elite, he felt conflicted.

'Dexter: New Blood' finale shocker: Breaking down the big deaths as series set Showtime records?

Schreiber says Mickey's death "felt like the right ending of this chapter of that story.".

Does that feel like the end of someone's life or the beginning? .

Schreiber: Yeah, I think there is. He looks like he's alive when the ambulance door closes, right? 

As (Ray) remembers how hard his own life was, he begins to understand how hard his father's life was, and he realizes that wonderful thing that hopefully we realize in our life is that the best you can do is forgive them and move on. For years, I thought my mom did a terrible job

Ray being shot and realizing the potential for his own death... The most important thing he can do in that moment is to absolve his father, who he's accused his whole life of being the source of all his trouble. That's a very emotional place for (Ray) to be because I don't think he thinks he's going to survive that gunshot wound.
