Why didn't she call her lawyer
After she talked with Angela in San Francisco? Call the lawyer who hires a PI. Nick is found, she's out of prison.
sharethere is very little logic employed in this film... typical Hollywood garbage.
shareShe actually did call her lawyer back. It was the next scene after she found Angela in San Francisco. She is seen on the phone explaining to him that she tracked her down in San Francisco, but the phone number had already been disconnected. He then asked for a forwarding address, to which she says she didn't have one. She then says how he should hire a private investigator so that his law firm can retrieve the $2 million owed to them. The way she carries on the rest of the conversation makes it seem like the lawyer wasn't going to pursue it.
The only potential plot hole is when she pretends to be Angela to retrieve the San Francisco information, the woman she spoke to told her the telephone number AND the address, and she is seen writing them down. Why she would say she didn't have an address, i don't know. Maybe she thought it would eventually lead to a dead end.
She wasn't talking to her lawyer, she was talking to the life insurance company. That's why she asked why they didn't want to investigate to retrieve their money. Also, there isn't a life insurance company in the world that will pay out to a spouse who murdered their husband/wife. Ever. There's absolutely a clause that they don't pay in the event of the insuree's suicide or murder of the insuree by beneficiary. That's why that money is so often tied up in civil court when the death is a suspected suicide or homicide.
The whole premise was just ridiculous.
They're coming to get you, Barbara!
it was only a few words, but it seems they did pay out, but to a trust fund in her son's name. A good reason for Nick to hang onto the boy instead of blowing him up along with Angela.
