Why was agent J preneuralysed in the beginning?


Right after meeting Jeeb's, K neuralysed J then later proceeded to recruit him. What was the point?

solid point! thank you!

Yes, this is the question I have on my mind and was looking for an answer. I don't understand why he had his memory erased about the aliens.

reply

He had to in case J turned down K's invitation to recruitment.
