After seeing final scene of PH  I decided that Turner's role
was a clone of her Body Heat role: ruthless woman using sex
to ... (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?
