| ~ Molly revealing herself as the inside man and her true nature. |
Molly Murchins is the main antagonist of the 2002 film Home Alone 4: Taking Back The House. She is the maid of a divorced Peter McCallister and Natalie and the mother of Marv Murchins.
She was portrayed by Barbara Babcock, who also portrayed Rosemary Taylor in Shear Madness.
Personality[]
Molly initially appears to be friendly and helpful, hiding her true colors. However, Molly is a cunning and manipulative liar once she reveals herself as Marv and Vera's accomplice.
Biography[]
Molly, along with her son Marv and daughter-in-law Vera Murchins, planned to kidnap a Prince for ransom. Molly later began working undercover at the estate of Natalie as a maid, as the Royal Family where to visit Natalie over the Christmas period.
Molly appears to be kind and supportive and seems to take a shine to Kevin (who was responsible for getting Marv imprisoned in the first two Home Alone films). Although Kevin knows there is an inside man working for Marv and Vera, he initially believes it to be the shifty butler Mr. Prescott, allowing Molly to go on without suspicion.
On the day of the Royal family's arrival, Molly reveals herself to Kevin as the inside man, and locked him away in the cellar with Mr. Prescott (whom Kevin imprisoned in the cellar thinking he was the culprit). Molly, Marv, and Vera wait for the Royal Family's arrival, but end up finding themselves pursuing Kevin when he escapes the cellar through the dumbwaiter and gets them involved in traps, with Molly later getting trapped inside the elevator.
After Kevin subdues both Marv and Vera, Molly escapes from the elevator and attempts to knock out Kevin with a frying pan but is whacked by Mr. Prescott with a metal service platter to render her unconscious and have her restrained until the authorities arrive. Molly is then apprehended along with Marv and Vera for planning to kidnap the prince, and maybe even to meet her comeuppance for how meanly she ended up treating Kevin.
Trivia[]
- Even though Molly is Marv's mother, she was never mentioned by him in the first two films as the fourth film is a loose sequel to the first two.
