He doesn't need to trust him to learn from him. Between what Tim and Georgia had said about Mirrors and what "Mr. Wrong" himself had said earlier--the thing that had lit up his skull and pushed water into his lungs--Jay isn't going to just agree to take everything he says at face value.
Still, he doesn't want to alienate what might be his most promising lead. Maybe he really does mean well. Maybe he really is just trying to help. It's never happened before, but maybe it's possible.]
It's not really that simple. It's okay, though, you can still... [There's no nice way to say this, is there? But he has to understand.]...Even if we don't trust each other, it doesn't mean we can't still help each other.
[Great. Now it sounds like an offer. Would he be willing to help Tim's mirror? They've only met once, and his motives have been tough to read at best.
But if he was in trouble--real trouble? Yes. Jay thinks he would.]
