"I know people and why they do inexplicable things," Mercer says at one point in the trailer, later dropping a variety of terms related to psychological phenomenon like paradoxical persuasion and attentional blindness.
His knowledge of why people make the decisions they do — even when it's irrational — aids him as he attempts to solve all kinds of unusual and complex cases. However, despite his understanding of the human mind, he is struggling to solve a crime he has a personal connection to that continues to haunt him.
