Femme Fatales (2011) s01e09 Episode Script

Help Me, Rhonda

Can I help you? I'm Molly.
Molly? Molly Trevor.
You say that like it's supposed to mean something to me.
Ain't you Eddie Gardner's wife? What's this about? He didn't tell you? Tell me what? That I was coming.
No, he didn't.
Hold on.
There's no cell service here.
Gonna have to use the landline.
It's me.
Molly.
Eddie ain't here.
What do you want me to do? Okay, fine.
Yes, I get you.
I'm not deaf, dumb or blind, you know.
Fine.
Sorry to disturb you, hon.
There's some kind of misunderstanding.
Was he expecting you? Apparently not.
Thanks for the hospitality.
I'll get out of your hair now.
You all know Camille Gardner-- a beautiful woman who, like so many, got married too young, too soon.
Well, now she's living a life she never imagined for herself with an abusive husband and an aimless existence.
Oh, and her world's about to get so much worse.
Tango's beautiful, isn't she? Well, get ready, 'cause you're about to meet some animals that aren't nearly as pretty.
I've got my eye on you I've got my eye on you And I'm hooked, dear, too Your fooling around's Getting blood on my shoes, oh Whoa-oa, oh, oh Whoa-oa ♪ I've set my sights on you ♪ ♪ I've set my sights on you ♪ I've got an alibi, too So don't look around I've got nothing to lose Whoa-oa, oh, oh Whoa-oa, oh, oh Whoa-oa Whoa-oa, oh, oh Whoa-oa Rhonda? What the hell are you smiling about? I'm just thinking about our future.
You should be thinking about our recent past.
Why bother? What's done is done.
I'm looking to spend my future with you.
Some woman came, asking for Eddie.
So? I'm worried.
She sounded like she was supposed to meet him here.
If I were you, I'd be very concerned.
Why? When you can worry for the both of us? That's what you're good at, right? You know, I should put something on.
What for, when you can take something off? If you could be anyone in the world, who would it be? Anyone? Real or fictional? Either.
Huh.
I think Eloise.
Eloise? Who the hell is Eloise? A little girl that lived in a penthouse apartment at the Plaza Hotel in New York.
Wow.
That's very un-dykey of you.
What about you? Mm, I don't know.
Maybe Anne Boleyn.
I heard she gave great head.
God, you're a weirdo.
What do you expect from a girl who lives in a trailer park? You're not gonna go get that, are you? I have to.
It'll look suspicious.
What the hell are you doing in my house? What's it to you? I don't have to-- Didn't mean to startle you, Mrs.
Gardner.
I apologize for the intrusion again.
When no one answered the bell, we went around back and found the patio door open.
Thought you were out walking the dogs or something and we would wait for you to get back.
What's this all about? I told you, we're looking for your husband.
He's not here.
He's-- He's away on business.
That's bullshit.
She's lying.
What Mr.
Congeniality here meant to say is that we were supposed to meet him here, this very day.
We're all a little surprised he ain't here.
There's nothing for you to worry about, my dear.
I'm sure we won't be waiting long.
It was probably just an oversight that your husband forgot to tell you we were coming.
Now if you don't mind, we have come a very long way and are extremely tired.
Perhaps you'd sit with us for a bit, help pass the time.
Um, I should really go upstairs and change.
Don't bother.
We didn't mean to inconvenience you.
I wouldn't want you to get dressed on our account.
We won't be here very long.
Plus you have such lovely gams.
Isn't that a great word, "gams"? It means legs.
Robinson taught me that.
You're lucky.
I go to the gym six days a week, and I still can't get my legs looking like anything but tree stumps.
Hey, where do you keep your liquor, lady? It's in a cupboard, above the sink.
You gonna pour me a glass or what? Help yourself.
Fine.
Don't mind if I do.
You, boss? No thank you, Mr.
Widmark.
So Mrs.
Gardner.
Anyone home but you? Just my kids.
They're upstairs sleeping.
You should really be quiet.
All right.
We wouldn't want to do anything to disturb them.
Me, I'm not really a fan of the munchkins myself.
Seems like a hell of a lot of work and not a lot of payoff.
But Molly here, she is a born parent.
Guess that's why she does such a good job of mothering me, don't you, sweetheart? I'd like to think so.
What, you couldn't find the glasses, Marvin? Shut up.
So, um how do you know my husband? What, is that your business? Marvin, please.
We are guests in Mrs.
Gardner's home.
I apologize for the impudence of my lackey and I beg your forgiveness.
That's all right, I guess.
You have a lovely house.
Never been to this part of the state.
Yes, it's very quiet here.
It's why Eddie and I like it.
Oh, that's nice.
So when is Eddie coming back, anyway? Patience, Mr.
Widmark.
I'm quite sure he will be here soon.
I generally am not one to tolerate tardiness, but in this case, we are going to make an exception and enjoy Mrs.
Gardner's hospitality.
You got a little girl's room where I could go freshen up? Yes, um, just down the hallway.
The towels have just been washed.
Consanguineous.
What? Consanguineous.
It means to be related to by birth, or of the same blood.
I try to learn a new word every day.
Today's word is consanguineous.
Really haven't found a way to fit it into a sentence yet.
I see.
He's a pretty smart guy, isn't he? I guess.
Yeah, well, you're not.
Now Where's your husband? Why isn't he here yet, huh? What are you trying to pull? Marvin, really.
You're scaring Mrs.
Gardner.
He's not scaring me.
No? Well, you should be scared.
If your hubby don't show up, we're going to have to find other ways to amuse ourselves.
What the hell is going on here? Sit down! Marvin, really, is that necessary? Now you're embarrassing the woman.
Please restrain yourself.
Your husband, he promised to turn over a certain item to us.
And as soon as that transfer of those assets takes place, we'll leave you in peace.
But until then I need you to sit the fuck down, shut the fuck up and you'd better do exactly as we say, otherwise this night will end very unpleasantly for all of us, most of all you.
Now me, I abhor violence, personally.
I'm cultivated.
I go to the opera and whatnot.
But Mr.
Widmark here, he is a savage, primitive man-- an animal, really-- a Neanderthal, existing in what Thomas Hobbes would have referred to as a state of nature solitary, brutish and short.
No conscience, no restraint.
I strongly suggest that if you know where your husband is you tell us, and you tell us now, Mrs.
Gardner.
Stop it, both of you.
You're not accomplishing anything by scaring the lady.
She's just as confused as we are.
Aren't you, lady? So knock it off and sit down and shut up.
Cigarette? Mind if I do? Thanks, doll.
We wouldn't want to disturb the kiddies upstairs, now would we? Not yet at least.
Are you here to kill my husband? Whatever gave you that idea, my dear? I'm not stupid.
Questions like that sure don't make you smart.
Rest assured, we are not here to kill your husband.
I told you, he has something that we need, And when he turns it over to us, we'll leave.
What? You do realize what your husband does for a living, don't you? He works for Homeland Security.
That's right.
And he made a deal with Miss Trevor here, one that he needs to honor.
And I won't have any problems getting him out of the country? Good.
You have half the money.
You'll get the other half on delivery.
You just make sure all the documents are ready.
Soon as we bust him out, we need to leave the country with the merch fast.
Yeah, Eddie.
That's right, Eddie.
Just like you like it, Eddie.
Oh! Give it me hard, Eddie! Give it to me like a real man, Eddie.
Give it to me harder, Eddie! Yeah, Eddie! Come on, Eddie! Yeah, Eddie! Yeah, Eddie! Do it harder, Eddie! Aah! I need to go to the bathroom.
I need to go to the bathroom.
Fine.
Come on.
Don't mind watching you spread your legs.
I'll take her.
I'll keep an eye on her for you, Robinson.
If she does anything but relieve herself, you tell Mr.
Widmark, and he'll take care of it.
I thought you needed to take a leak.
Do you mind stepping outside, please? Don't be modest.
I'm not.
I just find it very uncomfortable when you stand there watching me pee.
Don't worry.
We're going to get you out of here, Mrs.
Gardner.
"We"? Your husband is involved with some very bad men.
He's trying to sell them classified materials.
We need to find out who he's working with and recover the items before McGraw can leave the country with them.
Eddie? You're here for Eddie? I'm afraid s0.
Sorry to be the one to tell you.
I know you want to protect him, but it'll go a lot easier for everyone involved if you can tell me where he is.
Quick.
Take what it is you were looking for.
What? You fall in? What is it? I think I saw something out there.
You see anything? No.
But I'm telling you, there was someone out there.
It was the wind.
You'll get used to it.
Listen, lady, I know what I saw.
Wait a second, I think he's right.
I saw something move.
Check it out, Mr.
Widmark.
Take her with you.
You fuckin' bitch.
Eddie! Hey, Eddie.
I got your goddamn wife out here! Her and the kids are gonna get it, you don't show your face.
You hear me, Eddie? He's not there.
I told you.
It's the wind.
Let's go back to your boss.
The wind opened the fucking window? Sun Tzu says, "Enfold your adversary.
" I know what you're thinking.
Double-cross, right? Well, I ain't stupid, lady.
And Robinson's not my boss.
We're associates.
What's the difference? You got a smart mouth on you, don't you? He did call you his lackey, you know.
Yeah? Well, I work with him, not for him.
What about Molly? You work for her too? Oh, you shut that pretty little mouth of yours.
That's Robinson's girl, all right? She means nothing to me.
Bet you want to fuck her, don't you? I know I do.
Yeah? You trying to get me mad? Maybe.
You're doing a hell of a job.
Am I scaring you? I married Eddie, remember? He used me like a punching bag.
Treated me like dirt.
I only got stronger.
And I'm not bending over for you or anybody else.
Oh, we'll see about that.
Aah! Ooh! Fuck! Fuckin' bitch! You're already dead, bitch! I'm comin' for ya! Where you goin', baby? Rhonda, no! Rhonda! What did you do? She's a cop, Rhonda! She's an undercover cop.
Oh, my God.
H-How would you know? I'm going to go up to the house.
I'm going to make it look like it's all the bastard's fault, and we'll be fine.
And what about me? You've got to get out of here.
If something goes wrong, you better-- I'm not leaving you.
I'll be right behind, baby.
I just be right behind.
Just wait for me, okay? At the motel.
Let's just go.
Let's just go! No.
No, I can't.
I can't.
Why? You know why.
I love you.
I love you.
I know.
I know, honey.
No matter what, I'll wait for you! I know you will, baby.
Where's Mr.
Widmark? Molly? You bitch.
She was like family to me.
Yeah, but not consanguineous.
See, I found a way to use it in a sentence, you asshole.
I didn't want to hurt you.
I just wanted to conduct my business and leave.
But you've made that impossible now.
So how about we pay a visit to your family? You can't.
Of course I can.
Open that fucking door! Please don't, I beg you.
Please, my children! You don't have any fucking kids! Fuck.
Eddie.
You panther.
Fuck.
I don't know.
It's just this.
Okay, let's eat.
Let's eat.
Okay.
Oh! No, no! Aah! We can be together now.
It's just the two of us, baby.
We're good.
It's perfect.
Fuck you.
Are you Mrs.
Camille Gardner? Do you know what this is? You're house has been under serveillance for the past month.
So you are under arrest for the murder of your husband.
Now do not lie to us.
Things will go a lot easier for you.
Start by telling us where we can find Rhonda Temple.
If we were under surveillance for a month How come you don't know where she is? I have no idea where she is.
So why are you here? I killed my husband.
Stabbed him in the chest.
Six times.
