Because they enjoy it.

PADEN
What happened to Emmett?

MAL
Cobb’s men just about killed him. That’s what happened.

Paden reacts.

MAL
I got there just short of too late.

PADEN
(pained)
Lucky.

Mal snorts derisively at that and glances around.

MAL
Yeah, it’s working out real good.

PADEN
Where’s Emmett now?

Mal gives him a disbelieving look.

MAL
You’re working for Cobb these days, aren’t you?

Paden grimly acknowledges that.

MAL
Your friends have been beating me to find that out. You think I’m gonna
just tell you?

Mal gets up to face Paden, separated by only a few inches and the steel bars.

MAL
You waltzed in here pretty easy, and you can go out the same way. (motions him away) Me they’re figuring to carry out.

Paden knows that no explanation will suffice here. Sadly, he turns away from his former riding companion and leaves.
