I see, and then what was his plan? Make sure Curly got Evelyn and Catherine out and then just be happy with a job well done?

How did he plan to avoid prison as threatened by Escobar and/or retaliation from Cross for his discovery and the part he played in helping Evelyn escape?

Am I looking into this too much or am I missing something?

EDIT: Reading your post again, perhaps you are suggesting that Jake had no plan to avoid the wrath of Cross and Escobar. He had simply put all else aside to achieve moral satisfaction. Is that it?
