Black Widow Page #3

- Look...

- Airport?

Downtown.

Just one question.

Why did you lie back there

about the paper?

I'm sorry. I really am, I...

See, I'm just starting out.

I thought an article on powerful

women might sell to Cosmo...

...or Woman 's Day, and so...

- Oh, yeah, I see, I see.

I never had to prove myself like that.

It must be hard for you.

My wife's a very private person,

and I respect that.

But let me talk to her, and we'll see

if we can't help you out.

That's very understanding of you.

Anything else?

I think that's it, thanks.

Hey! Hey, Leo, will you fix that screen?

Okay, I'll fix it!

- All right!

Come on, man!

- I'll fix it!

Another movie on survival?

Just because

you can 't see a suspect...

... doesn 't mean he can 't see you.

There's a resemblance, but I've seen

strangers who look like twins.

You're looking for a reason to kiss

this off because you can't stomach it.

Yeah, what are you looking for?

Why do you wanna bury this lady?

Two guys die of some curse?

Ondine's Curse. They died in their sleep.

They stopped breathing.

When McCorey dies

of the same thing, call me.

You said the wives were out of town.

She poisoned them.

She put it in some...

Something she thought

they'd drink or eat.

These boys were autopsied.

You got cops in New York or Dallas

wanna dig up the bodies?

No, but you want me to tell one

of the richest men in this state...

...that some Fed thinks

his wife's a murderer...

...when nobody thinks

there's a homicide.

You're right. You solved

the whole case from your desk.

Why not take the rest of the day off?

You're absolutely right.

Hello, Mrs. McCorey?

Would you come to the station

and tell us if you ever killed anybody?

No, ma'am, we don't have any evidence.

I just spent the whole morning

showing you the evidence!

If that's what the Justice Department

calls evidence...

...then that is the scariest part

of this whole conversation.

The thing is, I know I'm right.

So, what do you think?

The playing's better than the piano.

Oh, right.

I'll get a tuner out here tomorrow.

Oh, a young woman stopped

by the museum.

She's researching an article about you.

I liked her.

She seemed really very sweet.

Fix you a gin?

Ma'am.

Check again.

Look, she told my husband

she was here waiting for a call.

She was here.

Checked out this afternoon.

Transferring to the Inn at the Market.

Perhaps I could call for you.

Sh*t!

Margaret?

Yeah, I'm up here!

- Oh, I'll come up.

No, no, no.

I'll be down in just a minute.

I thought you were fishing.

No luck?

I was gonna call the lawyer

about the board meeting.

I think it's a mistake, sweetheart.

Sh*t.

It's a family business.

You put me on another board,

there'll just be conflict and resentment.

You're my wife.

I want you with me.

I do like the way you say that.

- Where'd they find him?

- Look, Agatha Christie.

He didn't die of any breathing disease.

Just a good old-fashioned heart attack.

- Did they do an autopsy?

- Yes...

...they did, and a toxicology screen.

Great, that covers about 60

compounds at the outside.

You think she wouldn't

know what to avoid?

Anaphylactic shock looks

like cardiac arrest.

Was he allergic to something?

- Bee venom? Antibiotics?

- Bee venom!

Bee venom.

You're not gonna believe this...

...but I overlooked that possibility.

Boy, that's gonna be my ass.

She's left town,

and you don't know where.

Lady, there's been no homicide.

Why should I care where she went?

Enough to know she's left.

You're scared shitless.

They're gonna find out about me

and wonder why you didn't check it out.

If you got a complaint, go file it.

Otherwise, please, go f*** yourself.

It's not a reason.

I was in the room with him.

He was four feet away from me.

- And what were you supposed to do?

- I don't know.

I just...

...should have...

...said it. Told him.

- He'd have believed you?

He would have had a chance.

I didn't give him a chance!

He would've gone straight to her,

then you're blown and she's gone.

And maybe he's alive.

Alex, you don't quit your job...

...six years...

...to go chasing after some phantom!

She's not a phantom.

Come on. Come on!

We got her. I think we got her.

I think we finally got her.

Hi.

Hi.

- You okay?

- Yeah, I'm all right.

This is from me.

I already have my ticket to Hawaii.

That's your ticket back.

What makes you so sure

she's even there?

Michael says the lady at the ticket

counter in Seattle recognized her photo.

Who's to say she didn't fly out of Hawaii

under any name at all?

Maybe she did.

Where else am I gonna start?

I heard you sold all your stuff.

- Yeah.

- What'd you get for the BMW?

- Well...

...I got 5900 for it.

Blue Book said 66...

...but the salesman was wearing

a bow tie and I was in a hurry.

Would you do me a favor?

Would you get this back to Sears?

- Don't underestimate this woman.

- She's not about guns.

You want to catch her,

you gotta think like she thinks.

I think.

And you figure you know her, huh?

Why she does it?

Tell me.

When I was a kid, my father...

I told you this story, though, didn't I?

My dad had quite a temper.

He used to take off after me

with this spatula, you know.

Stainless steel pancake turner.

Man, that thing stung like hell.

One of these times,

he chased me down the hall...

...and he got me into my bedroom,

and he was beating the crap out of me.

Man.

And he stood up, keeled over and died.

I figure Margaret,

or whatever her name is...

...has some deep resentment

against older men and...

Are you buying this?

I can't believe you really went for it.

Goddamn it.

Don't you know? No one knows

why anyone does anything.

I know she's obsessed with killing

and you're obsessed with her.

What worries me is that

you might be as wacky as she is.

I'll be back with a tan.

Over here, all of you going

to Kilauea, line up here please.

Whoo.

We are standing at the newest

place on this planet.

It's like nowhere on Earth.

I love this place!

Everybody comes to Hawaii

for the sand, for the beach...

...but to put a hotel here,

it would cost a fortune.

Do you know what?

My bankers say I'm insane.

God, in the right spot,

it would be fantastic!

You always been impatient, lady?

I mean, your whole life?

Mr. Shin, in four weeks

I've given you $600.

You, by way of contrast,

have given me zip.

I'm surprised you can find

your office in the morning.

You always sarcastic like that?

You were sarcastic little baby?

You look for lady for four weeks, huh?

One time I look for somebody

for 18 years.

Quite a recommendation.

Persistence.

Besides, can't find such a pretty lady

for buck and a half a week.

- Need incentive bonus.

- No, just show me what you've got.

What do you mean, huh?

I got nothing.

Mr. Shin, any man that would ask me

for a price increase...

...without anything to deliver

would be kind of stupid.

No point in insulting

your intelligence.

I'd rather do business on a basis
