However, when Harry sees Crouch Jr. in the Pensieve, he sees a man

and  all the dark magic if it meant that he didn't have to go to 
Azkaban.  It was the other three who were with him who were the truly loyal ones. Crouch was begging his father for forgiveness.

to trade his wife for his son.


Well, obviously Crouch Jr. is a good actor.  He manages to fool a whole lot of people (even Dumbledore) into thinking he's Mad-eye Moody for a school year.  Acting like a frightened teenager so he could escape Azkaban and search for his master would be pretty simple in comparison.
