Mortal Kombat 1 Behind the Scenes AU: Enlisting Lin Kuei brothers, p. 5

Author's note: Since Kuai Liang and Tomas failed to change Bi-Han's mind, Liu Kang had no other choice than to explain why he needed Sub-Zero on film set - to keep Shang Tsung(s) distracted from causing any problems. It would be easier if he just did that from the start, but Liu Kang hoped to not burden Sub-Zero with knowledge of how in the past timelines, his incarnation was always one way or another connected to Shang Tsung. Presenting "babysitting" the sorcerer as a mission is what finally made Sub-Zero agree to join Cage’s film crew (to Kuai Liang and Tomas' joy).

This mission to keep Shang Tsung distracted is part of the reason for the whole Fake Dating storyline, with special focus on "Multitasking" that explains why Bi-Han picked Shang Tsung from all possible cast to fake date for one day.
