I can't, for the life of me, find an answer to a question I have about the plot of Chinatown.

Why, when Nicholson's character Gittes has found the glasses and sent off Evelyn, does he call her villain father to confront him with no back-up plan? He shows up with a henchman and a gun and forces Gittes to lead them straight to Evelyn. And Gittes is just like "whelp, I guess you've got me let me lead you right to the person I've been trying to protect the whole movie. Guess that's Chinatown am I right?" It's the climax of the movie and it makes no sense.

All we've seen all movie is how competent and clever Gittes is, and all of a sudden he makes a completely nonsense decision. Does anyone know why?
