I didn't nearly get him executed, come on. You know damn well that was a strategic play and I was never going to let him actually take the fall for it.
I apologized to you because between the two of us, it looked like a betrayal, me throwing your fledgling under the bus without consulting you. He is an actual murderer, and I had every right to suspect him in earnest. I owe you my loyalty, not him.
But I did apologize, for the record. I went above and beyond.
[He pretty much just gave Harlan the same spiel he just laid out to Ros with a "sorry you're mad about it" tacked on, but if Harlan gets points for a technical apology then so does he.]
Someday Harlan is going to snap or get too cocky. He's going to dig himself a grave and it'll be well past the point where you're able to do anything about it. It won't be your fault, likely; he's a psychopath and you've done your best with him, but there's an upper limit to the amount of trust you can safely place in a person like him.
When that happens, I'm afraid you'll suffer for it, whether it's your reputation or your life that's at stake.
You're as cautious as you can be with him, I know that. But all the caution in the world won't save you from a time bomb.
