Useless, useless

[My Name Is Kate]

Having someone raise his hands so he could see them, then saying "useless" not once, but twice, seems like a dramatic gesture, as though he were thinking about his place in history, and he wanted to go out with some sort of memorable words befitting the tragic, would-be hero that he saw himself as. Whether he was thinking about anyone besides himself in those final moments, I have no idea.
