Synopsis
Chamberlain visits Erin Davenport at her place of work. He asks for an update on Nathan Rourke, as it has been three days since Chamberlain brought him there for interrogation. Nathan comes out of the adjacent kitchenette where he has been cooking pasta. Nathan and Chamberlain exchange tense words before Erin tells Nathan to go wait in the back. Erin then uses the intercom to tell her father about Chamberlain threatening and annoying her. Chamberlain tries to inform Davenport that Erin seems to be in a relationship with Nathan instead of interrogating him. But Davenport doesn't react well to the fact that Chamberlain was gone for days, after which his first action is threaten Davenport's daughter at work, and tells Chamberlain to report to the Cube for debriefing. Chamberlain leaves, recording a supplemental on his recorder as he goes.

Erin thanks her father for making Chamberlain leave. He tells Erin to send Nathan to a different Data Extraction technician the next day, as Nathan is an enemy of the Company. Erin tries to convince her father to let her keep Nathan because she likes him. She eventually loudly threatens to never forgive him and burn herself alive if he takes Nathan away. Nathan comes in and asks Erin if she's okay. Davenport tells Nathan to meet him at his office.

In his office Davenports beats Nathan up and then starts a conversation. Nathan confirms that he went to school with Erin. Davenport tells Nathan that he doesn't like him being a charmer and asks him why he should ignore his better judgement and let him live. Nathan says Erin talks about Lorraine all the time and that he can help her move past her anger and forgive Davenport, as he has had experience with a parent seeing someone new. Davenport says Erin's forgiveness can be bought and asks what else he can offer. Nathan offers selling out the people involved in the Containment Tube business. Davenport then suggests a deal: Nathan will counsel and influence Erin, plus do errands for Davenport on occasion. If Nathan doesn't do his assignments Davenport will have Chamberlain kill him.
