It was like the writers just had no idea what to do with her, but were told they had to fill x amount of time with her in it. The vague mystery is supposed to surround Waltz's character - and it does - but O'grady's isn't a mystery as much as she just doesn't make any sense. She goes from classic moral person that finds the murder of an innocent woman reprehensible, to 'oh but the murderer can give me a good reference for a job so...I'll stay for 6 months' - I mean...what? It just makes no sense.
Given Waltz's excellent performance, it's just a let-down. O'grady really did do a great job on the acting front, not kidding - but the writing of her character was just terrible.
