"I don't doubt for a second that he believes you," Gil told him. "You have to understand something about Malcolm: he doesn't let people in. That he even called you tells me a lot and, frankly, I don't want to know what he told you. Of course he wants to take the blame; he'll never let anyone suffer a burden he can take from them. He feels like he failed all the people his father killed before he called the police, instead of recognizing that he saved all the people he would have killed after. He wants to save everyone. He'll never feel like he's protected enough lives to be free of the Surgeon's sins and the only person that can free Malcolm Bright's conscience is Malcolm Bright. But he literally cannot stop. Jessica will be fine if she stops pretending this is nothing and gets a highpowered rich person lawyer. Malcolm, on the other hand, needs to just stay out of the way. A case is the best place for him right now."
