The Ben Stiller directed mini-series Escape at Dannemora follows the true story of a 2015 prison break during which two inmates incarcerated for murder dug their way out of a maximum-security facility in upstate New York. Prison employee Joyce “Tilly” Mitchell (played in the series by Patricia Arquette) had sexual affairs with both prisoners (played by Paul Dano and Benicio del Toro) as part of a complex set of relationships that made this unlikely escape scheme possible.

Their conversation below has been edited and condensed for clarity:
