There’s something funny about all that.
1. Wendy calls for the hitman, not Helen.
2. They already set up that the hitman is a “robot”, and there’s the precedent where they didn’t show the therapist being killed, only her wrapped corpse. This is intended to make the audience believe that the same exact thing is happening to Ben.
3. Wendy asks if the ashes are heavy. An odd thing to ask. Was the body heavy? Marty doesn’t seem overly concerned about any kind of ceremony for the cremation. “We should wait for Wendy.” says Ruth. Nope. He meets the hitman and the corpse at the crematorium. The ashes aren’t put in an urn, but in a plastic bag in a box. Helen never sees the corpse.
4. Someone had to die to throw off Helen and solidify the loyalty to Navarro. Did Wendy murder someone else? A random stranger? A fat guy? Was the hitman in on it, and is that even possible?
5. She spends all her time at the Warner Mart parking lot where she was made by the cop and her license plate was taken. She goes right back there for her vodka for some reason.
It’s outlandish but there were some bizarre elements to the whole thing.
