Archer was scared for Zion. Was she really going to kill him today? Is this how Zion was supposed to die? What happened inside her room when she was angry at Zion? Why did he make her partner for the night run away?
He really wanted Zion to live. If she killed him two things would happen, either Zachary would be back and there would be a price over her head or Zachary would go even more underground fearing for his life. Archer wanted Zachary but thinking about Journee's life in danger pained him more. He had to stop her.
"You couldn't get him so you are going to kill him. Is that how today's police work? This is police brutality," shouted Archer.
"You have not seen my brutality. OPEN… THE… FUCKING… DOOR!" she shouted. Archer shook his head in no. Tony too kept shouting at Archer to not open the door. There was so much noise outside, that Archer couldn't understand how Zion was still having sex inside, oblivious to everything happening outside.
