A bad guy stuck with justice

Jedburgh, he is the clearest person in the movie, and because of this, he is also the most tangled one. He is not as determined to take revenge as Craven, nor as bad and thorough as the villain. There is a dialogue between the two protagonists. Jedburgh seems to say: it is better for him to have no daughter than to have a daughter but lose a daughter. Craven's answer is probably: it is better to have once. I think that's what shook Jedburgh, all he had was the shrewdness to cover up the ugliness for the powerful and the politicians, and his life had no justice, no people, no country, nothing to match his ingenuity. In the end, after he calmly shot the group of politicians, he calmly let go of the young policeman, and looking at his fallen back, he finally became a person who "used to have", a bad guy who was attached to justice.

Thomas Craven: You know, Bill, no one expects you to be perfect. But there's just a few basic things you gotta get right. Always do the best you can by your family. Go to work every day. Always speak your mind. Never hurt anyone that doesn't deserve it... & never take anything from the bad guys.

Darius Jedburgh: Now, you know better than anyone, cases like these are never solved. They're simply too complicated, too much hard work. There's a lot going on out there in this world. And you just never can connect A to B.
Thomas Craven: How do you know that?
Darius Jedburgh: Because I'm usually the guy that stops you connecting A to B. It's part of what I do.
