We Need to Talk About Kevin Chapter 26: March 25, 2001 Summary

How It All Goes Down

  • Eva is flicking channels in 2001 when she sees Kevin's face on the TV. It's the documentary that Jack Marlin contacted her about.
  • Marlin asks Kevin about his parents.
  • Kevin says his dad is a fraud—but that Marlin should lay off his mother.
  • Kevin even calls Eva's travels "pretty cool" (26.23). Is this the same Kevin?
  • Eva notices a picture hanging on his wall. It's a photograph of her, one she assumed Kevin had destroyed many years ago.
  • Kevin says he basically committed the crime for attention and entertainment. The public loves watching killers.
  • Kevin's offended that he won't get to be in the movie of his own story, because it's a story he made himself. He doesn't want to see others profiting off of it.
  • Eva turns off the TV, but she feels strangely proud of Kevin.
