Plot[]
Two hitmen, Lee Woods and Dosmo Pizzo, listen to a couple in bed, aspiring Olympic athlete Becky Foxx and her ex-husband Roy Foxx. Becky acuses Roy of cheating on her with a Norweigian bombshell with blonde hair and blue eyes - Helga. Lee injects Becky with a tranquilizer then shoots Roy in the head. Lee and Dosmo then drive to an abandoned area of Mulholland Drive, where Lee shoots Dosmo and blows up the car in order to set Dosmo up as the fall guy for the murder. Lee flees the scene with Helga.
The plan is explicated by Lee when Becky accuses the couple of keeping secrets from her. Helga states ,"We have to keep some secrets before you send that insurance money." Lee returns to Becky's house to retrieve the money.
Lee and Helga are in a hotel when Helga decides to slip on lingerie. They have rough sex and Helga deduces that the reason Roy was murdered in his house was that things got 'personal' and Lee was jealous of him touching her.
Becky exits the police station and Helga picks her up. Becky is furious at Helga for not telling her that Roy would be killed in their house and the latter is also furious at Becky for leaving $30,000 in the house.
With Lee gone, Becky and Helga argue over Roy. Becky gathers that Becky liked him and Helga acknowledges she did. She also adds that Becky could not satisfy him which is why Roy cheated on her. Such outrage prompts a catfight.
