Thammarat had finally been given the opportunity to talk with someone from Kritsana's victim family, as his lawyers had arranged. They had forced him to engage with the victim's family, telling him that they might be able to reach an agreement. The team was also preparing a translator, as Thammarat was not fluent in English.
Meanwhile, in New York, Matthew had also asked Samantha to sit with her mother during the call with Thammarat. They trusted Samantha to translate the conversation for them, not wanting to gamble with someone else and risk getting played in the end.
It was 7 a.m. in New York and 8 p.m. in Bangkok when the two parties decided to conduct an online call. Thammarat sat down and saw a beautiful Latina woman on the opposite side of the screen.
"Good morning, Mrs. MacKenzie," Thammarat greeted in his broken English.
"Evening, Mr. Thammarat," Madelyn responded.
