Matheson decides to kill the smug bastard, rather than give him any satisfaction (because how the fuck does the saving her part work if he's already dead; it's a hell of a leap of faith for no guarantee) and let his daughter die.
Either his daughter dies and he kills himself, or it was all a bluff and his daughter lives, in which case there can be a hilarious twist that he kills himself THINKING she's dead and orphans her, ridding her of a wishy-washy, snivelly parent. She goes on to media contracts and fame and fortune. TEH END.
