Again, Michael tries to reason with him: "Terrence, listen to me. Terrence, for once in your life, do the right thing. So many people have suffered because of this, because of you. When the press get [sic] here, you can tell the truth. You can end this." Unfortunately, Michael has forgotten that he's dealing with a man so pathologically self-involved, he signed off on a cover-my-ass plan that required the deaths of lots of other, uninvolved people. So it's no surprise when Terrence says, "Where does it end for me? Disgrace? Life in prison?" Michael argues that Terrence is already in prison, then asks angrily, "How many more people have to die so you can stay locked up in some cabin in the woods? It's over."
Steadman looks at the implacable faces of the three other men in the room and comes to his decision. He says, "Okay." Then, a second later, "Sorry." And then, he becomes the first person on this show to blow off his own head to spite his face.
The three other guys are appalled. Not because they mourn Terrence the person, but because the craven little shit has just ensured that they're all hosed now. Boys, boys -- stop it! Just grab some of Steadman's hair and blood, then get mitochondrial DNA testing done. Instead, Kellerman says, "We've got to go... we have nothing." Michael adds, "All we've got is a John Doe." And, I would add, a lot of new friends in the local law enforcement community. They're all coming now.
