What does Elektra reportedly do before she kills you? | Elektra

She whispers in your ear.. In the beginning of the movie, Di Marco explains that Elektra whispers in your ear before she kills you to his head of security - a guy named Bauer. After killing the other guards, Elektra whispers to Bauer saying that it's too late for his boss (Di Marco), but that he still has a chance. He ignores her and ends up dead. She then enters the room where Di Marco is sitting in front of the fireplace. He asks her if she is just going to kill him out straight, and she replies by stating that death is not so bad. When he asks her how would she know, she whispers in his ear "... because I died once ..." and in a flash she is back in the back of the room and throws one of her Sai into his heart, killing him before he can shoot her.
What is the name of Elektra's father? | Elektra

Nicholas. When Elektra reaches the island, she decides to go for a swim. She swims under water for a little while and as she comes up for breath, she finds herself back as a little girl when her father used to make her do exercises in their pool for periods at a time. She had to exercise to keep her head above the water without using her hands, just her feet. As one point you hear her mother call to Nicholas and ask if he doesn't think Elektra has had enough, but her father refuses and continues telling young Elektra to keep going. Elektra is finally able to break away from this memory and goes back to the house.
Why is the necklace that Elektra owns so important to her? | Elektra

It belonged to her mother.. It gets explained when Abby breaks into her house on the island and tries to steal the necklace. After Elektra takes it back and chases Abby away, she gets a flashback of her murdered mother, where she, as a young little girl, removed the necklace covered with blood from around her mother's neck. She also sees the person who murdered her mother, but that only gets revealed later in the movie.

A high-tech longbow. When she finally gets confirmation of whom she is to assassinate, you see her take great care in assembling her bow.
