She encounters policeman Arnie (David Strathairn) grieving about the fact that his wife Sue Lynne (Rachel Weisz) has left him, and in his leisure time coming to the bar to drink a lot. After threatening Sue with his gun he kills himself by crashing his car. Elizabeth comforts the now grieving Sue.
Elizabeth lends another woman, Leslie (Natalie Portman), her savings for gambling; if she loses Elizabeth gets Leslie's car, and so it happens. They move on together because Leslie needs a ride to her father in Las Vegas, who can help her financially. She gets a call, answered by Elizabeth, from the hospital to inform her that her father is dying. Leslie does not believe it, she thinks it is a trick to make her visit him. They go to the hospital anyway, and at Leslie's request Elizabeth goes inside alone to check. Leslie's father is dead. Leslie wants to keep the car, and confesses that she has lied about losing with gambling. She pays Elizabeth money with which she buys another car.
