So we can debate from the same point.A decision or act Nick believes is necessary because of circumstances, but the decision/act going against his moral fiber gives him pause. He would grapple with the decision if time allowed. If not, he would struggle after the fact, trying to reconcile his actions with the man he believes he is/wants to be.
Example:
Nick never questioned his right to arrest the man who avenged his son’s murder. There wasn’t a crisis of conscious or any guilt that Nick struggled with. At no time did he consider that killing Kenneth for revenge compromised his ethical duties as a police officer. But then neither did Hank.
Nick committed murder when he killed Kenneth. Hank and Wu were accessories to murder. Why do their reasons for doing it matter, if the same consideration wasn’t given to the man in Maiden Quest? Other than it’s okay as long as it’s Nick or his people committing criminal or immoral acts?
