Margarethe and Lalo in “Unfinished Business”

[Lalo has travelled to Germany using an alias, and meets Margarethe, Werner's widow, at a bar]

MMargarethe

I knew his work was dangerous. I never imagined such a thing, but... I suppose I try not to.

That is terrible. What kind of accident was it?

MMargarethe

A cave-in.

Cave-in?

MMargarethe

He was able to save his men. He got them out, but then... the structure collapsed.

So your husband was a hero.

MMargarethe

[smiles] He would never accept that. My Werner was too humble.

...And what were they building there?

MMargarethe

My husband didn't talk much about his work. It was very secretive.

Oh... I'm sure he must have told you something.

MMargarethe

The lawyers came to my house. I asked questions, they wouldn't say much.

[shakes his head] Lawyers.

MMargarethe

They went through Werner's things. Took anything that they called, uh... Oh, how do you say it? [pause] Proprietary? I'm sorry, my English is—

Oh, it's excellent.

MMargarethe

I didn't care about it. All the boxes of folders, his papers. Why do I need all that stuff?

And what about your husband's men? I mean, they must have said something to you.

MMargarethe

Werner loved deine jungs–his boys–but I never even met them.

What do you mean? Not even at the funeral?

MMargarethe

You'd think they would want to pay respect to the man who saved their lives. They sent flowers, keepsakes, and so on... but not one of them showed his face.

Wow. That is... [sighs] It's just not right.

MMargarethe

[pause] Let’s speak of something else. Tell me about New Mexico.

You would love it.
