1. A guy anxiously trying to negotiate for his life before 2. descending into panicked begging and, finally

That's my point: that he realizes they're going to kill him if he doesn't kill them first
So from HAL's POV, the crew is going to jeopardize the mission & murder him for *no reason*
If a human yeeted a crew member into space and cut the life support to the rest, you'd rightly say they've lost their mind.
