hi i was wondering if you could help me. In season 9, episode 10, where Dan has just jumped in front of Nate to stop him being hurt, and after Nate kills the bad guy, why does he drop the gun when the policeman comes in? surely he could of shot at him too? but he didn't. he obey'd the cop and dropped his gun, he knew he was a fake cop so why did he drop the gun? I don't know if i'm over thinking this but it's played on my mind for a long time haha. what do you think?
Maybe because when the cop came in he was distracted, Nathan had the gun in his hand but he wasn’t aiming, his arm was down, so if tried to point and shoot he could have shot the cop but in the moment he lifted his arm the cop was going to shot him as well, maybe Nathan didn’t want to risk it, what Dan did would have been for nothing if he did. I don’t know, I guess that was the way it was supposed to happen since Julian was there to save him.
