3.8 - Family Matters

"In which Nathan Rourke has a little heart-to-heart with Vice President Davenport, and a little foot-in-mouth with Erin."

Synopsis
Nathan tries to hack into a computer terminal, but gets caught by Davenport. Nathan is upset about the fact that the work he's been doing for Davenport involves killing people and confronts him about it. He wants to back out out of their deal, but Davenport makes it clear he won't let him. When Davenport reminds Nathan that he's only alive because of their deal, Nathan tries to argue that Erin would never forgive him if he killed Nathan. Davenport laughs and tells him Nathan has a lot to learn about Erin.

Erin enters and Nathan shushes Davenport, not wanting to have this conversation in front of her. Erin happily recounts her productive day torturing people, adding that working with electricity is her favorite. When Erin asks Nathan how his day's been, he claims everything is fine, but Davenport denies it. Davenport tells Erin that he's disappointed in Nathan for having issues with his assigned work. He reveals that Nathan is having moral objections, and that he wants to leave Erin. Erin asks why he feels he needs to leave, and Nathan tries to avert the question before admitting that he's been killing people on behalf of Davenport. Erin laughs, asking if he genuinely thought she didn't know and reminds Nathan that she tortures people for a living. Davenport points out again how ungrateful Nathan is being.

Nathan tries to argue with Erin that he would've taken her with him when leaving. She says she wouldn't have wanted to leave because she likes her work and loves her father. Erin says Nathan hurt her feelings, that she doesn't understand what Nathan's problem with killing people is, and that Nathan should have more loyalty to HartLife as it preserves them all. Nathan accuses her of caring more about HartLife than him, which she confirms. She also confirms she'd help her father and Chamberlain if they decided to kill him. Davenport then assigns him another job, asking Nathan if he remembers Neal.
