At Eddie’s interview, the prison guards leave Erin alone in the room with Eddie. Erin freaks out a little until she realizes the only reason Eddie would agree to tell his story to her would be if there was “something in this meeting for him” (244).

The interview feels like a good-hearted game until Erin asks what he’ll do when he gets out. In a blink, Eddie goes from charming pseudo-criminal to serious. He has Erin turn off the camera, and he asks if Erin will talk to his estranged daughter and get her to give him another chance. Erin agrees and asks Eddie if he can help sell the diamonds. He can, and Erin makes arrangements. She also confirms the strange voicemail messages aren’t from him. When she tells Mark, he doesn’t get mad like she expects, but he is concerned about the risks Erin’s taking. Erin tries to argue she’s taking those risks for them but can’t because she “can’t tell anymore why I’m doing any of this” (255).

Erin meets with Eddie’s daughter, Charlotte (Lottie) McInroy, to talk about him and record an interview. Erin plays a message Eddie recorded for Lottie and asks if she’ll let Eddie back in her life.
