Help her with closure
(Prison Break)
Paul: Mr. Giles, we'd like to have a word with you, if we could.
Tim: I really don't have time.
Paul: I'm afraid we're going to have to insist. It's come to our attention that you made a FOIL request a couple of days ago, on the Burrows case.
Tim: Yeah. So?
Paul: Records show that you made a dupe of the surveillance tape.
Tim: That's right.
Paul: Mind us asking why?
Tim: It's for one of Burrows' old girlfriends, man. She was under the impression that the guy was innocent. I figured it'd, you know, help her with closure.
(Hello! Everybody!
I am not sure that I get the meaning of this sentence – “help her with closure”. 
Does it mean “help her bring this case to end” Is that what Tim intends to say ? 
Thanks for your help!)
Hale: She's in possession of the tape now, then?
Tim: Don't pull that card on me. It's the Freedom of Information Act. She's entitled to that tape as much as you or I are.

That's what it means, but it seems a little strange. What's Tim's interest here? Is he trying to birddog Burrows while he's in prison?
