(but this time not getting away with it). Some of corroborating evidence: - Her love to Nich's character is incredibly hard to believe (especially in canary jacket scene!) - She keeps lying to him about money and her living with her husband(?). That creates impression that she's after money only and somehow wants to use old Charley. - She decided that Charley's "100% OK" in the end means death knell, but did not get away immediately (or at least stay out of her apt). - Most importantly - she could not have full assurance that Nich was going to kill her off - yet she did not even attempt to ask questions (at gunpoint?). She goes in and pulls trigger right away thus giving reason to think that she does not care shit for old C. Quite a contrast with loving eyes for canary jacket. The above strongly suggests that Turner's character is after money only. Of course, there are many signs to the contrary: how would she know C. can deliver, change of facial expressions during last phone conversation... I am lost. My interpretation is less plausible, true, but how can all these thing allow one to unequivocally determine scrptwriters intentions? Comments anyone? Mike Cherepov
