"When I promised to see you in handcuffs by the end of the day, this isn't what I meant." Sterling tells her this with a very straight face.
"I know, I know," Sophie agrees. "Locked up with me." She holds up her wrist and he winces as the cuff bites. "I have a skeleton key."
They searched both of them and took Sterling's, so he has to ask, "Where did you hide it?"
Sophie leans close and whispers conspiratorially, "I'll tell you if you never tell Nate about this."
He thinks about it for a moment, about all the possibilities, then nods. "Agreed."
"I knew you would." She smiles as she produces the key, and Sterling figures out finally what Nate saw in her when he was still on the side of the law.
