Mercer visits a therapist, Bishop, for an appointment to discuss work issues. Mercer's line of work involves taking care of "problems" for different people, which seems to trouble them. When pressed, Mercer admits they have been trained since a young age to kill other people without remorse for various employers, which may be the source of their stress.
