And yes, he's right that the closer he gets to the end, the more Jim is sure that he knows where it's headed-- so the last confession doesn't surprise him in the least.

"Alright," he nods slowly. "Sounds complicated." With him being his prisoner, to begin with-- although Jim knows better than to think that's where the complications started and ended.
