the showing up to talk Gene down part was admirable in a sense. Especially right after his involvement with Sally resulted in her killing someone, but once Gene told him the deal he had the option to walk away and skip town, but he chose to handle things the way he handles things. Even if they busted him right then, there was still a possibility they didn't have evidence to take him down. Now at the very least they have him dead to rights on attempted murder.
