Did Natalie Know?


Did Natalie know, or find out that Lenny killed Jimmy, by the order of Teddy? Did she use Lenny to kill Teddy. in order to get her revenge? Was Dodd a red herring to test Lenny's capabilities and memory problems? She seemed to enjoy screwing around with him. The connection between Teddy and Natalie has never been resolved in this film, since Teddy claims that Natalie does not know who he is, but Natalie is aware of Teddy and his involvement with Jimmy.

She probably suspected he's somehow involved (after all, he was driving Jimmy's car and wearing Jimmy's clothes), but she eventually realized he couldn't be a mastermind to plan it and Teddy is more likely responsible.

Did she use Lenny to kill Teddy. in order to get her revenge?
That is not likely, as she didn't know who Teddy is, only knew his name. She gave Lenny Teddy's license plate info based on a number that Lenny himself gave to her and wrote it down prior to meeting her for the first time.

Was Dodd a red herring to test Lenny's capabilities and memory problems?
Since she couldn't know who Teddy is, Dodd must have been a real goal for her. She uses several approaches at urging Lenny after him until she found the one that works; with Teddy, she just gave the info and left with no visible interest in how does it all revolve after that.

She heard the name from Jimmy, but not anything else.

I just watched the movie again, and this part confused me. Lenny drives up in Jimmy's car, wearing Jimmy's clothes, as Natalie is at the Dumpster. She comes up to the car thinking it's Jimmy, then realizes it's not him.

Jimmy's her boyfriend; she's sad later that he's gone ("I lost someone too"), but she was so blasé and unquestioning when she sees Lenny in Jimmy's car...and she knew he was going out to do that deal. I don't get it, wouldn't she have been like, Why are you in Jimmy's car? What have you done with him? etc

reply

Jimmy could have had many costumes, unless she saw him that morning wearing it.
Or maybe she didn't notice his costume as she was startled. But then did she suspected him later on? Maybe.

I think so because of the below reasons
1.license plate SG137IU but wrongly written as well as tatooed as SG1371U but the license plate info shared by natalie as license plate as SG137IU
2.she says i found a deserted place where u can take revenge while giving license plate info...while indeed it is the same place where jimmy was killed

Actually, the *car* itself is seen both with license plate SG1371U and SG137IU.
