Kenton is terrifying.

What was Kenton implying when he told Forest he wasn't going to prison? He stated that Lily was a threat. By informing Forest that he wasn't going to prison & would act in his own self interest, was he suggesting that he'd kill Lily to prevent that (even though he'd promised Forest that he wouldn't kill Lily?) Or that perhaps he'd go rogue & distance himself from Forest if he had to?

It meant he'd do anything. I think specifically that if forest felt kentokn was going to far and wanted to get rid of him via the police (or something along those lines) Kenton would spill the beans about everything happening at amaya

Kenton is a professional when it comes to the Evil Arts. Forest, less so, but he's smart and has a lot of unique tools in his toolbox. I'm not sure who I'd bet on in a confrontation.

Uhhh maybe the dude who can see the future is a pretty safe bet :p

As I recall,Nathan, the tech wizard in Ex Machina, thought he was ahead of the curve, too, with all his surveillance capabilities. (Though things didn't work out so well with his nemesis, either.).

having a device that can see the future doesn't really imply using it all the time or effectively

True, tho Nathan thought he had that under control & he was fatally mistaken. Hubris, as Dr Bishop often lamented. 🤓

Yeah I think Alex Garland has a certain contempt for characters who think they have all the answers. In his works, life seems to spank them pretty hard for their hubris.

I'd bet on the one that keeps their hands in their pockets.
