Tim watches the broadcast--of course he does. He can't miss it any more than anyone else can. He wishes he could say that he's surprised by this outcome, but he isn't. Even if he'd been the type to trust government, Jason's 'reprogramming' would have destroyed any trace of it.
And he definitely didn't start off with any measure of trust.
He doesn't react outwardly as the broadcast finishes, but he watches the entire thing without turning away. He wants to really see what the Head is capable of with citizens that vex it. It's brutal. Horrifying. And while the Head might have intended it as a deterrent to future dissidents, the only thing it makes Tim want to be is more cautious.
He glances over at Hank. "Masks do tend to have the effect of drawing fire." He shakes his head a little. "Of course, when you're in a hypervigilant police state, they're not nearly as much protection as they might otherwise be."
