I was really struck by the image.

It's sorta complex: It seems to speak this lesson: If a scoundrel voluntarily does you a favor, this doesn't make you honor-bound to aid/abet that scoundrel in his/her designs. The image in this flick ups the ante: Even if a scoundrel *saves your life*, you are still under no obligation to further a scoundrel's cause.

And it (sort of) ups the ante *even further*: The guy she saves is, himself, a scoundrel. Well, doesn't that crimp the moral of that scenario, even just a tad? The flick tries to play that "noble outlaw" card on Madrid, which you can buy into, or not. But part of that play is the scene where Madrid is saying, in effect, "Just because you saved my life doesn't obligate me to honor your particular species of evil."
