Okay, now Polly is getting suspicious of Bosk who is suspicious of Polly. Nice noir touches. Polly discovers from her lawyer that Irving (the crooked insurance broker) is aware that she pocketed a bundle from the hospital's botched delivery of her child, Joy. Polly thinks--why hasn't Irving come after me--and then realizes that maybe Bosk is Irving's agent. (She's right, of course.) Irving notices that although she said she was just going to Dover, she has put over 200 miles on his truck. Where was she? Is she playng him for a fool. Nice, old-fashioned plot.
Weakest. Tommy is in prison. His son, Ryan, is now 17. Catherine the cop's sister, Clare, takes Ryan to visit Tommy in prison, without telling Catherine. Not good. Sisters have a break when Catherine finds out. Plot two: PE teacher, abusive to wife. She is getting drugs from local Indian/Pakistani pharmacist. Husband finds out and has wife arrested! Pharmacist worried . . . plots to kill husband. Wife agrees, then changes her mind. Pharmacist in a rage kills her. (All a bit of a stretch, as he is a mild mannered family man.) Tommy escapes from his court hearing, hides out, gets in touch with Ryan. Plan is to go to Marabella, Spain together. Tommy's "helpers" get worried about Tommy and decide to do him in. Instead, he kills them . . . and is knifed himself. He returns to Catherine's house, looks through a photo album showing Catherine took good care of Ryan, and decides not to kill her....
