Can someone explain why she leaves him at the airport?

You know, the scene where they're back at the airport, picking up the suitcase. He bumps into his doctor buddies, she's sticking around. Then he goes to help them with their bags, and she splits. Why?

She had previously said to him something like "please don't leave me, I'm scared, because they killed Dede." All of a sudden she gets brave? And there's no mention of her leaving when he just climbs into her car at the parking attendant booth? What the hell? Can someone explain that to me?

I asked the doctor to take your picture so I can look at you from inside as well.

Because she already had the suitcase and that's all she needed and wanted.

Judging by this and your other posts, you have no clue as to what a good movie is.

And you can go f@ck yourself.

She leaves him at the airport because she has what she wanted - the suitcase. They don't mention it when he gets in the car because there's not much point. She tried to get away, he caught her. She realises now that she's not dealing with a clown.

An old married couple wouldn't mention it, because they know each other. These two don't even know each other. If it were me, I'd be mentioning it. You have to admit that it is at least a little bit weak.

I don't think so. If they were an old married couple, either she wouldn't have run or he wouldn't have caught her. They'd have known each other. What I like about the fact that they don't mention it is the unspoken admiration she has for him once that happens - what would you expect her to say? She can say nothing, she's caught. She now knows she cannot get away from him until he find his wife. He says nothing either, but you notice that as soon as they get back to the hotel, he tries to take the suitcase from her.

I was wondering that myself! What made me even more puzzled is that he sees her car, and just gets in like nothing happend!
