He explains his reasons for his actions and although Johnny gradually starts to believe him, Johnny wants Valentine to prove that he's being 101% trustworthy. Johnny tosses Valentine's empty pistol to his side and challenges him to pick it up, harboring a suspicion that Valentine had brought a pistol back with him from an alternative dimension to attack Johnny with.

Johnny then shoots and kills the president during the final showdown.
 * Diego Brando from Another Universe is obliterated by Lucy Steel, who exposes him to the head of the first Diego, causing the two heads to merge and explode one another.
