Hal was smart enough to know the situation had turned hopeless. Trying to negotiate him into letting Kat go would only give his troops more time to close in and seal any route of escape. He couldn’t simply let the girl die either, it was against his character, that and what Aaron had said about her being the reason that he was wanted alive. He didn’t give himself completely over to despair however. Already he was thinking about possible scenarios in which he could escape together with Kat and get some answers out of her.

“Alright, I’ll come with you.” Hal spoke softly, not being able to completely keep the anger from his voice though. He got himself out of the tub, his hands raised, his head still held up high.
