Tessa’s workplace turns chaotic as no one leaves the office, and Tessa even brings Finn with her after daycare. The city is at a standstill, waiting to see if the cease-fire will last. As twelve days go by without incident, people are becoming hopeful, and the IRA and the government issue a joint statement saying that negotiations are progressing but will take time. Tessa thinks that her days of being in danger are almost over.
Eamonn tells her at their next meeting that a fishing boat was sunk in the Irish Sea, and Tessa correctly guesses that this was the boat containing 45 tons of gelignite, proving that Marian had been genuine in wanting to protect the peace talks all along. The sisters go to the Mournes to ski and enjoy each other’s company. The next morning, as Tessa is making breakfast, she looks up through her window to find two men in black ski masks on the other side of her garden wall.
The men keep staring at Tessa through the window, and she realizes she will not be able to run away in time. She leaves Finn inside the house and goes to meet them. They want to take her with them immediately, but she bargains with them to allow her to take Finn to Sophie, her neighbor.
