Bullshit.
Can type anything. Doesn't need to be true. No reason for you to keep your end of the bargain once it's done.

There is no reason for us to abandon it.

Your distrust has been noted.

Can see plenty of reasons to abandon it.

( Kate maybe that's just you, honey. )

What would you do with the people who didn't help kill him anyway?

Coexistence is possible. Betrayal is unacceptable.

( She can practically hear Marc's response to that - it can't be betrayal if they never allied with you in the first place. It's dumb and nitpicky though, and pedantic snark won't get anything done. )

In other words - kill anyone who resists if you win.

( That doesn't even need to be a question. These guys are uncomfortably familiar. Perhaps even more black and white in their thinking than Rosenberg was. )

Why not just send those people home?

( Just saying, if you really can, you may as well. )

( It's not a reward for everyone here, but Kate's not going to bother arguing that. She can see that Henry wasn't underselling the attitude of these things. Very... unaffected. )

Whatever the case, still going to need proof that you're not just lying for help.

What proof is sufficient?

( Hm. Actually, she does have a solution. )

Bring us something from someone's world.

( Something somebody here can recognise and confirm. The Door brings in things alongside the monsters and them, so-

It's just logical, right? )

( Record scratch.

Hold. The. Phone. )

So you can't guarantee anything you're offering.

( Yeah. If she wasn't interested before, now she's even less interested. )

Reverse-engineering will be a simple task.

Course it will.
