Kang: Mercer is a hero

to the people of this place.

His posters are everywhere.

He is truly an icon for this group.

Shouldn't be here.

I came to convince you

to do the right thing.

You should leave, Counselor.

Yumiko sees, "This as somebody who we think has a good heart.

All we have to do is just convince him

that he needs to help."

Pamela's men took them to

God knows where.

I know.

You know?

Yeah.

Yumiko is shocked

when she realizes Mercer, in fact, does know

people have been taken.

I don't believe that you don't care.

That's disappointing for her

because she thought she knew him better.

Mercer, we need you.

We need you to testify

against Pamela in public to save them.

Of course, Mercer, at this point,

already has his own kind of play starting,

but that's not something

that she knows at this point in the story.

We had different versions of a final scene,

but when we went into editing,

like that just felt like the right moment to end on

and the line was actually an ad-lib by Michael.

It was so clearly the right version to go with.

It's been a long time for him to get to this point,

to just openly defy and say like, "From now on,

we are 100% on the same team.

Time to fuck shit up.
