Point of No Return (1993) Synopsis: Point of No Return opens to a panoramic view of Washington D.C., fading quikly to the dilapidated, seedy back alleys where homeless people and drug-addicted gangs dwell. Point of No Return 1993 One such gang heads through the streets to arrive at a drug store closed for the night. Point of No Return 1993 When one of the gang is too slow opening the lock with a key, the gang's leader, Big Stan (Michael Rapaport) smashes the lock off with an axe. Point of No Return 1993 A young woman in the gang, Maggie Hayward (Bridget Fonda), is going through drug withdrawal and complains of desperately needing a new fix.
Upstairs from the store, the owner (Geoffrey Lewis) and his wife have been awakened by the looting of the store. Point of No Return 1993 Despite his wife's pleas as she reports the robbery to the police, the drugstore owner loads a shotgun and prepares to confront the burglars.
Johnny, one of the gang members, apparently knows the layout of the store and where the drugs are kept, but cannot find what they are looking for as quickly as Stan wants. Point of No Return 1993 Meanwhile, Maggie, in pain from her withdrawal, slowly sags and slumps into a sitting position on the floor, leaning against a display.
The drugstore owner confronts the thieves, who reveal their trump card on why they feel he cannot open fire on them-- Johnny is his son. Point of No Return 1993 The drugstore owner stares in disbelief at seeing his son among the gang.
The police arrive and a shootout erupts. Point of No Return 1993 Stan kills both the store owner and Johnny, before a police sniper takes him and the rest of the gang down. Point of No Return 1993 The police enter the store and one of the officers finds Maggie, still slumped against the display. Point of No Return 1993 She is deep in a drug withdrawal-induced psychosis and is unaware of his presence. Point of No Return 1993 He removes her headphones, through which she'd been listening to the music of artist Nina Simone. Point of No Return 1993 Slowly Maggie becomes aware of the officer's presence, and she suddenly jams the barrel of a dropped gun under his jaw and pulls the trigger, killing him.
Maggie is being hauled out of a holding cell in the police station. Point of No Return 1993 Although she is handcuffed, she is resistant and rebellious against the police's attempts to compel her cooperation. Point of No Return 1993 They wrestle her into a chair and the detective in charge vicously backhands her when she talks back to him. Point of No Return 1993 He demands she sign a document, and she takes the pencil and stabs him through the back of his hand with it. Point of No Return 1993 As police drag her away, a man watches from the mezzanine, writing notes in a notepad.
Maggie is convicted of capital murder for killing the officer, and the judge sentences her to death by lethal injection. Point of No Return 1993 Maggie goes berserk and melees with the bailiff and other court officers; she then tries to break a window, but the window is made of tempered glass and doesn't break. Point of No Return 1993 It takes multiple officers to successfully grapple and restrain her, and carry her away. Point of No Return 1993 The same man who was in the station, is again watching from the courtroom seats.
As Maggie is strapped to the gurney for her execution, she tearfully begs that everyone wait for her mother to arrive. Point of No Return 1993 The nurse and officers conducting the execution pay no attention to her. Point of No Return 1993 The needle is inserted into a vein in her arm and the levers are pulled to administer the injection. Point of No Return 1993 Maggie loses control of her bladder as the chemicals take effect and her eyes sag closed. Point of No Return 1993 From the observation window, yet again, the same mysterious man is watching Maggie die.
Maggie is shown lain in a bed, covered to her neck in a sheet. Point of No Return 1993 But as a train passes by, her eyes open and she sees she is alive and well, in a plain, unfurnished, white-painted room. Point of No Return 1993 A peephole in the door opens, and the mysterious man, Bob (Gabriel Byrne), comes in to greet her.
Bob shows her pictures of her funeral, including a photograph that shows her father was present. Point of No Return 1993 To the rest of the world, Maggie is dead, and she is buried at Oakmont Cemetery-- "Row 48, Plot 12," as Bob tells her, is the location of her grave.
Bob makes no attempt to stop Maggie as she runs for the door; he knows it is locked and she can't get out. Point of No Return 1993 He tells her he works for a clandestine branch of the U.S. Point of No Return 1993 federal government, which is giving her a second chance. Point of No Return 1993 He hands her a dossier which she sees contains a great deal of information on her life. Point of No Return 1993 Maggie is naturally very suspicious about what Bob and his superiors want from her in exchange from her life. Point of No Return 1993 He coldly tells her that for a start, she needs to learn such basics as standing up straight and speaking properly, before she would be instructed in languages and computers-- things that would enable her to do some good for the country. Point of No Return 1993 When Maggie asks what would happen if she said no, Bob reminds her, rather matter-of-factly, the location of her grave-- they can easily put her into it for real this time. Point of No Return 1993 He gives her an hour to think the offer over.
Bob returns to Maggie's room to get her decision. Point of No Return 1993 Looking through the peephold, he sees Maggie has crawled back into her bed. Point of No Return 1993 But when he enters the room, a chair to the back of his head shows it was a deception-- Maggie has dressed in the clothing placed in her room and was hiding behind the door. Point of No Return 1993 She jams a knee down onto him and grabs his gun, using him as a hostage to get out of wherever she is. Point of No Return 1993 She makes her way toward where Bob tells her is the main exit; Bob telling all the employees in the compound to return to their desks and make no threatening moves. Point of No Return 1993 Several armed guards converge, but Bob tells them to keep their weapons lowered. Point of No Return 1993 As they reach the door, Maggie demands that Bob open it, but Bob says it is controlled remotely, and the people with the power to unlock it will not do so, even at the expense of his life.
Bob manages to turn around and Maggie scrambles back out of reach; a security rifle lazing her up for a precision shot through her forehead. Point of No Return 1993 Bob calmly asks Maggie for his gun back. Point of No Return 1993 Maggie seems about to comply when she suddenly pushes the barrel into her mouth and pulls the trigger. Point of No Return 1993 But the gun doesn't fire. Point of No Return 1993 Bob grabs the gun and knocks her down, telling her that a smart agent never chambers the first round. Point of No Return 1993 Pulling the slide to chamber the round as he says this, Bob shoots her in the leg, giving her a flesh wound in her thigh.
Bob goes to see Maggie later in her room. Point of No Return 1993 Her leg has been bandaged and she's been given more time to think, but now Bob wants an answer. Point of No Return 1993 At first, Maggie is still resentful and rebellious, but her survival instincts take over and she submits to Bob's will. Point of No Return 1993 She wants some things, however, to make her life in the compound easier-- among them, some music from her favorite artist, Nina Simone. Point of No Return 1993 Bob agrees to have it brought to her.
Maggie begins undergoing the lessons; she is shown how to operate a computer, trained in combat, and the most challenging of her lessons: social manners and etiquette, and posture and grace of movement, and proper use of language and grammar, all under the stern but caring eye of one of the senior instructors, Amanda (Anne Bancroft).
Bob goes to see Maggie at her room. Point of No Return 1993 Her reports are coming along excellent, and she is doing well in her lessons. Point of No Return 1993 But with all her progress, Maggie is going stir-crazy confined inside the compound, and desperately wants to take just a short walk outside, even content with being closely followed. Point of No Return 1993 Bob is sympathetic, revealing that he was once in her place as a raw recruit, and was going through the same things that she is now. Point of No Return 1993 But he can't let her outside; not yet. Point of No Return 1993 Maggie starts to become rebellious again and foresakes the rules of a firearm exercise to indiscriminately shoot all the targets for fun; both 'bad guys' and 'innocents.' At a dinner lesson, she becomes frustrated at the precise use of a knife and fork and finally starts to gobble her meal sloppily, using her hands.
Bob and his supervisor, Kaufman (Miguel Ferrer) notice, and are talking about her in Kaufman's office. Point of No Return 1993 Bob insists he can bring Maggie back around, reminding Kaufman that a young woman operative is needed 'out in the field.' He says that many times, recruits need up to two years to complete their lessons and training, but Kaufman tells Bob that Maggie is only getting six months; after that, if there is no sign of visible improvement, she will be killed.
Bob brings Maggie a birthday cake for her birthday. Point of No Return 1993 She is very pleased with the cake, but then Bob tells her the ultimatum issued by Kaufman, warning her that her life is now at stake. Point of No Return 1993 Maggie's face freezes with a look of genuine fear. Point of No Return 1993 Bob lightly kisses her cheek as another happy-birthday wish, before leaving her room. Point of No Return 1993 Later, Amanda finds Maggie sitting at the foot of the stairs leading to her chambers, looking frightened. Point of No Return 1993 Maggie turns to Amanda for help, and Amanda is happy to give it.
Under Amanda's tutelage, Maggie quickly masters her lessons and is soon ready for a major privilege. Point of No Return 1993 She comes down the stairs, elegantly attired in a black evening dress, black stockings and pumps, her hair dyed blonde; her face properly made up... Point of No Return 1993 she looks stately and beautiful, and she smiles pleasantly. Point of No Return 1993 She now also speaks French fluently. Point of No Return 1993 Maggie is to be taken to dinner by Bob, just the two of them... Point of No Return 1993 outside of the compound, at a fancy restaurant in the city. Point of No Return 1993 Clearly excited and elated, Maggie remains demure and humble at the honor. Point of No Return 1993 Bob helps her into a light coat and takes her outside where a limousine is waiting. Point of No Return 1993 But as they leave Amanda's chambers, Amanda's proud smile reverses into a frown of deep concern and worry.
Bob and Maggie are seated at a table in an elegant restaurant. Point of No Return 1993 Bob hands Maggie a gift-wrapped package, which pleases her greatly. Point of No Return 1993 But a serious reality check and shock are in store for Maggie when she opens the elegant wooden box. Point of No Return 1993 Inside is a high-powered, sleek handgun and a spare clip of ammunition. Point of No Return 1993 She listens numbly as Bob discreetly points out two men seated together with a woman at the upper level of the restaurant; one of the men is a V.I.P. Point of No Return 1993 and the other man is his bodyguard. Point of No Return 1993 Maggie is to kill the VIP; two bullets minimum-- at the last stall of the men's room is a window leading to the courtyard, where a car will be waiting to whisk her to safety.
Maggie kicks her shoes off and leaves them under the table. Point of No Return 1993 Slipping the spare clip into her her cleavage, she looks around carefully and takes out the gun, slipping up the stairs in her stocking feet so her footsteps are inaudible. Point of No Return 1993 She reaches the VIP's table and the bodyguard promptly reacts, but Maggie is faster and quickly puts a bullet in his chest; then takes out the VIP, one bullet in the head and one in the chest. Point of No Return 1993 Taking advantage of the sudden chaos, Maggie evades several armed security guards and makes it to the men's room... Point of No Return 1993 but to her horror, she finds that the escape window Bob told her about is bricked up and she cannot get out.
Maggie doubles back and makes it into the restaurant's kitchen, pursued by two armed men in suits who indiscriminately begin shooting, killing the kitchen staff. Point of No Return 1993 They have Maggie pinned down, but her return fire keeps them at bay. Point of No Return 1993 More men converge, almost getting the drop on Maggie, but hesitating at the sight of her, allowing her to kill one and wound another. Point of No Return 1993 One of the men loads a portable rocket into his rifle. Point of No Return 1993 Desperate now, Maggie spots a laundry chute for dirty kitchen clothes and dives into it, the rocket explosion barely missing her. Point of No Return 1993 Escaping from the restaurant, Maggie runs out into the rainy night, flinging her gun into the Tidal Basin.
Storming back into the compound, Maggie finds Bob waiting for her in her room. Point of No Return 1993 Confronted on the bricked-up window, Bob says he knew about it-- it was her 'final test.' Maggie becomes furious and backhands Bob off his chair, grabbing him by his shirt collar. Point of No Return 1993 She is mad enough to strangle him with her bare hands, until Bob tells her that by passing this final test, Maggie has won her freedom; she will be released from the compound the next day. Point of No Return 1993 Calming down, showing her gratitude, Maggie gives Bob a sharp, semi-passionate kiss, but quickly breaks away and says it's the last one she'll give him.
Maggie is being prepared for release. Point of No Return 1993 Bob tells Kaufman she's ready for a designation of S-1 field operative; which, as shown by Kaufman's reaction, is a high-ranking designation. Point of No Return 1993 Kaufman sternly warns Maggie that he considers her a dangerous loose cannon and if he had his way from the beginning, her execution in the injection chamber would have been very real.
Maggie is smartly dressed in a sharp skirt suit, looking to be a professional business woman. Point of No Return 1993 Bob explains her cover identity, saying her public name will be Claudia Doran, and she's a Chicago native. Point of No Return 1993 She'll be living in Venice, California, working as a computer sales official, therefore having to travel a lot. Point of No Return 1993 He gives her all her necessary papers-- passport, birth certificate, and driver's license-- and an envelope with enough money to buy herself a new car. Point of No Return 1993 In accordance with her affinity for Nina Simone, Maggie's code name will be Nina. Point of No Return 1993 Stepping out of the compound looking like any other working professional, Maggie hails a cab to take her to the airport.
Maggie's first task in Venice is to find a place to stay. Point of No Return 1993 Walking down a street, she spots a sign outside a small apartment building saying that an apartment is for rent. Point of No Return 1993 Approaching the manager, a young man named J.P. Point of No Return 1993 (Dermot Mulroney), she inquires about the apartment. Point of No Return 1993 He shows her around, having warned her that it would take a lot of work before it was fully ready, but Maggie is pleased with the ocean view from the window and says she'll take the apartment.
Maggie's next task is buying herself groceries. Point of No Return 1993 She walks through the supermarket, pushing her cart a little aimlessly; clearly not sure how to go about picking up food. Point of No Return 1993 Acting almost on impulse, she loads her cart up with a large number of cans of canned ravioli, followed by a dozen cantaloupes, a stack of packaged TV dinners, and half a dozen loaves of bread.
J.P happens to be in the supermarket as well. Point of No Return 1993 When Maggie drops a number of her ravioli cans while preparing to check out, he comes to help her place her groceries on the register counter. Point of No Return 1993 They make some small talk as the cashier begins ringing up the items and Maggie looks at J.P. Point of No Return 1993 in a way that shows she's fascinated with him. Point of No Return 1993 She boldly invites him to join her for dinner that evening.
Over dinner, J.P. Point of No Return 1993 tells Maggie a little about himself; in return for managing the building and collecting rent checks for the landlord, he gets half off his own rent. Point of No Return 1993 In his spare time, he's working on building up a photography portfolio. Point of No Return 1993 Maggie listens in rapt fascination, and suddenly takes a piece of ravioli in her mouth and playfully approaches J.P., inviting him to bite off the half that's sticking out of her mouth. Point of No Return 1993 J.P. Point of No Return 1993 briefly hesitates but then follows through, and Maggie begins to kiss him. Point of No Return 1993 She's taken a strong liking to him very quickly. Point of No Return 1993 J.P. Point of No Return 1993 and Maggie are soon the closest of friends, and soon after that, they are lovers. Point of No Return 1993 He helps her fix up her apartment, making into a comfortable and cozy home, and takes a number of photographs of her.
Four months pass and J.P. Point of No Return 1993 finally has noticed that outside of him, Maggie seems to know nobody in the neighborhood, not letting herself grow close to the neighbors, and content to have only J.P. Point of No Return 1993 for company. Point of No Return 1993 He doesn't understand how she's so happy with such a lifestyle, and a little non-plussed on realizing he doesn't know a lot about her life. Point of No Return 1993 Maggie is agreeable to J.P. Point of No Return 1993 asking her some questions... Point of No Return 1993 but the ones he asks take her completely off-guard; questions that the cover identity prepared for her don't take into account. Point of No Return 1993 J.P. Point of No Return 1993 notes her reaction and walks away, a little upset. Point of No Return 1993 Maggie goes up to him while he gazes out of her window, and finally tells him a little about her true self; her actual connection to artist Nina Simone-- who was not only her favorite musician, but also her mother's. Point of No Return 1993 Maggie explains her love for the simple passion in Nina Simone's music, and how she plays it when she thinks about her mother.
Maggie is laying with J.P. Point of No Return 1993 in her bed one morning when her phone rings. Point of No Return 1993 She answers it, and hears a man on the other end address her as Nina. Point of No Return 1993 She's being called to an operative assignment at the JW Marriott hotel in Century City and is expected at the personnel entrance in an hour. Point of No Return 1993 Making up a cover story for J.P. Point of No Return 1993 about needing to hurry to El Segundo to salvage the sale of 500 computer video cards, Maggie dresses and heads out, driving to Century City.
At the JW Marriott, Maggie goes to the personnel entrance and makes her way to the room service office, where a man in a suit is seeing to the room service staff and two maids, who are tied to chairs and blindfolded. Point of No Return 1993 A number of other men are quickly preparing for their role in the operation. Point of No Return 1993 The man in charge hands Maggie a maid's uniform and tells her to put it on. Point of No Return 1993 Once she's dressed, she's told simply to wait.
Presently, the phone rings, and one of the operatives takes the call, posing as a member of the room service staff. Point of No Return 1993 He politely takes the service order and prints up a receipt, telling the caller that the order will take 15 minutes to arrive. Point of No Return 1993 THe other operatives quickly set to work preparing glasses of orange juice, a bowl of cereal, several cups and kettles for coffee and tea. Point of No Return 1993 The lead operative carefully places a circular disc-shaped object into the base of the kettle. Point of No Return 1993 Maggie is to bring the room service tray to its destination and then return.
Maggie delivers the room service tray, looking a little nervous as a man in a suit outside the doorway quickly frisks her to make sure she's unarmed. Point of No Return 1993 She brings the tray inside the suite where a number of men in suits make small talk. Point of No Return 1993 One of the security agents quickly checks the items on the tray, and then signs the receipt for Maggie.
Maggie returns to the room service office, where the operatives are listening and recording all sounds from the suite through an eavesdropping device concealed in the room service tray. Point of No Return 1993 She gives the receipt booklet to the lead operative and asks what she needs to do now. Point of No Return 1993 Shrugging and looking as though the answer should be obvious, he tells Maggie that she is free to return home.
Changing back into her skirt suit and once again looking like a working professional, Maggie leaves the hotel and smiles as she heads back to her car. Point of No Return 1993 She's pleasantly surprised at how easy her role in what appeared to be a simple surveillance and eavesdropping operation went.
But Maggie's smile is wiped right off her face in a hurry as she prepares to start her car up-- a major, fiery explosion suddenly tears through the top floor of the hotel. Point of No Return 1993 Maggie stares in horror, knowing that she personally delivered the tray that not only concealed a listening device, but also must have concealed a high-power explosive.
If Maggie was not sullen and angry enough on returning home, adding to her troubles is seeing Bob waiting for her outside her building. Point of No Return 1993 Everyone at headquarters, including Kaufman, is pleased at her performance-- everyone except, of course, Maggie herself. Point of No Return 1993 Worse still, headquarters knows she's met a man and is romantically involved with him... Point of No Return 1993 Bob now needs to meet J.P. Point of No Return 1993 himself. Point of No Return 1993 Over Maggie's protests, he tells her that she needs to invite him to her home for dinner.
Bob arrives at Maggie's house for the dinner with Maggie and J.P., posing as Maggie's uncle. Point of No Return 1993 During the meal, Bob and J.P. Point of No Return 1993 do most of the talking; Bob relaying carefully prepared answers about himself as he also takes the opportunity to learn a little about J.P.'s budding photography business. Point of No Return 1993 But as a fruitcake dessert is being prepared, things turn awkward as J.P. Point of No Return 1993 asks Bob a little about Maggie, which infuriates her as she had managed to talk J.P. Point of No Return 1993 into neither of them talking a lot about their respective backgrounds-- an agreement J.P. Point of No Return 1993 now regrets having made. Point of No Return 1993 Maggie angrily lashes out at J.P. Point of No Return 1993 and carelessly lets slip a detail about having come from the ghettos of Kansas City-- despite her cover identity being about having come from Chicago. Point of No Return 1993 Bob defuses the situation by telling a gentle story about how Maggie was born in Kansas City and sometimes spent time on a farm as a little girl, where she managed to break an untamed black horse and ride him. Point of No Return 1993 Maggie gives a small smile as she listens to Bob, though she realizes that Bob also has a crush on her that he is keeping tighly in check. Point of No Return 1993 Bob tells J.P. Point of No Return 1993 that he is in the travel business, and is giving both of them a present-- tickets to New Orleans for the Mardi Gras. Point of No Return 1993 Maggie knows, however, that this is a cover to get her to New Orleans where she will have a field assignment.
Maggie has some time to enjoy the festival with J.P., but as they head in search of a suitable bistro to get a meal, they are accosted by two Cajun men intent on robbing them. Point of No Return 1993 J.P. Point of No Return 1993 hands over some cash, but the men are not satisfied with anything less than everything they are carrying. Point of No Return 1993 Maggie quickly lashes out, putting her training to use, subduing both assailants... Point of No Return 1993 and then having to explain to J.P., although he is impressed at how she handled herself. Point of No Return 1993 He starts coming onto her as she calls room service for a meal. Point of No Return 1993 She giggles delightedly as she starts to respond to J.P. Point of No Return 1993 and make out with him, but the happiness is cut short when the call for Nina arrives. Point of No Return 1993 The caller tells her that the bathroom cabinet has a hidden compartment.
Maggie manages to excuse herself to take a bath, filling the tub as cover so she can search the cabinet. Point of No Return 1993 She finds a headset and walkie-talkie and sets them up. Point of No Return 1993 Her caller tells her to look in the drawers under the sink, and she finds a high-power rifle with a sophisticated silencer barrel and scope, assembling them quickly and expertly. Point of No Return 1993 She's then directed to open her window, but there's no handle. Point of No Return 1993 She uses a towel to muffle the sound of her breaking the glass. Point of No Return 1993 Her caller directs her to aim at an approaching limousine, but he has to wait for further instructions, forcing her to divert her attention between her target and stalling for time with J.P., who has decided he wants to propose to her. Point of No Return 1993 Maggie tries to stifle her tears as she is torn between her duty and her desire for J.P. Point of No Return 1993 Room service arrives which buys Maggie a minute or two as J.P. Point of No Return 1993 takes the order and signs the receipt. Point of No Return 1993 But her caller still hasn't been identified who Maggie's target is.
As J.P. Point of No Return 1993 returns to trying to get Maggie to answer him, she is finally told that her target is a woman in white... Point of No Return 1993 but the woman is flanked by two companions in very similar costume, and with their wigs and make-up, Maggie is unsure whether either of the companions are men, or other women-- one possibly her real target. Point of No Return 1993 J.P. Point of No Return 1993 and Maggie's caller both unknowingly vying for her attention takes away from her focus and she struggles desperately for composure. Point of No Return 1993 Finally she makes her shot, taking the woman down with several precision shots, before pulling off her headset and dumping both the headset and her rifle into the bathtub.
J.P. Point of No Return 1993 finally opens the door and confronts Maggie. Point of No Return 1993 He sees she's still dressed, even though the tub is full, and he notices the broken window. Point of No Return 1993 Tearfully, her voice a whisper, Maggie finally confesses that long ago, she did something very bad, and although she came through it, she must spend the rest of her life paying a bitter price. Point of No Return 1993 J.P. Point of No Return 1993 is moved to compassion and comforts her, but when she begs him to understand that she has her reasons for being secretive, he says he'll take it 'for now.'
Maggie confronts Bob at the operation HQ. Point of No Return 1993 She tells him she's had enough and wants out, but Bob sternly rebuffs her, warning her that 'out' doesn't exist in their field. Point of No Return 1993 Knowing that Bob loves her, she tries to appeal to his sense of humanity, insisting that she is no longer the same cold-hearted murderer who he saved from execution.
Bob hands her a dossier on a wealthy man named Fahd Bahktiar (Richard Romanus), saying that the job needed is specifically what she was trained for; only a woman operative could hope to pull it off. Point of No Return 1993 The job entails impersonating his girl friend to get onto his estate, then killing him and destroying his computer containing secret data on sensitive nuclear information he's peddling to the Middle East... Point of No Return 1993 after she downloads it to discs to bring back.
Maggie goes to see Amanda and asks whether Amanda believes she would be capable of leaving the agency. Point of No Return 1993 Amanda finally tells Maggie that she doesn't know; she honestly had never considered it. Point of No Return 1993 Knowing Amanda told her the truth, Maggie thanks her and leaves... Point of No Return 1993 dropping the dossier in a trash bin on her way out.
Back at Maggie's home, she is taking out trash and finds Bob outside. Point of No Return 1993 He's recovered the dossier and hands it back to her. Point of No Return 1993 Relenting on his initial position, he quietly tells her that if she completes the job, he'll try to help her in return.
Maggie spends time with her assistant, Beth (Lorraine Toussaint), researching Fahd's girlfriend, Angela (Olivia d'Abo), studying acquired tapes of a birthday party Fahd threw for her, so Maggie can properly impersonate her. Point of No Return 1993 As they are doing their work, J.P. Point of No Return 1993 arrives home. Point of No Return 1993 His reception of Beth is completely cynical and sarcastic; he's figured out by now that Bob is not Maggie's uncle and that whoever Beth is, she's not anything that Maggie might have told him about.
Maggie and Beth pose as stylists that are due to make up Angela's hair and nails. Point of No Return 1993 On the terrace, they discreetly try to offer her some jasmine tea which has been drugged. Point of No Return 1993 but Angela demurs, saying she doesn't drink tea. Point of No Return 1993 Forced to improvise, Maggie waits until Angela puts her hands in Beth's, then Beth grips her hands to hold them while Maggie covers Angela's mouth and injects her with a knockout drug. Point of No Return 1993 Unfortunately, before Angela succumbs to the drug, her muffled cries alert her bodyguards and a gunfight breaks out. Point of No Return 1993 The two bodyguards are killed, but Beth is hit and wounded. Point of No Return 1993 She calls Kaufman to report in, and Maggie is horrified to learn from Beth that Kaufman is calling in a cleaner.
