Did Cotton do the right thing in handing over the documents?

I don’t think Cotton had a choice. It was hand over the documents or possibly be killed.

Hand them over or be shot and they take them. Not much of choice

No choice.

I agree; he had no choice.

Ahh...let's see...documents or a bullet. Not a hard choice here.

They were slightly outnumbered, and Cotton had the safety of Patrycja to consider, (though the latter certainly stepped up and showed her mettle!).

Cotton had no option here. Live to fight another day.

Yeah, though I hated to see him hand the documents over, he really had no choice.
