Here's what happened. Probably.

[camera pans across a sun-lit Vancouver skyline]

[zoom into a downtown office tower, through a window, down onto a man typing away at his desk]

Karl M. Davis is 68 years old. He's an attorney. A senior partner at the firm.

[desk phone rings]

Karl picks up.

"Karl you fucken asshole, where are you!"

"Barbara. Please. I am unavailable."

Barbara is Karl's wife of 40 years. She's with the divorce attorneys because she has had enough.

"Karl if you don't show up in 5 minutes I'm taking you for everything you have."

Karl knows there is nothing to take. He works three jobs. He performs unlicensed surgeries behind the building by evenings, and operates a fish farm by weekend.

The phone rings again. It's his son, Roger.

"Karl."

"Father, I am calling you to let you know I have notified the authorities."

"Roger."

"Father. Of your fraud."

"Roger?"

"Father."

[camera zooms close-up, into Karl's face. he's in tears.]

He has been exposed. Writing fake checks in his son's name trying to cover his habit.

His car habit.

[scene cuts to Karl. in bed]

Karl awakes with a start, face beaded with sweat. It was a dream. None of that happened, because -

[scene cuts to a premium looking asian dude]

Fucken guy bought Karl's LC500 out from under him yesterday.

Let's summarize:
-You saved this old man's marriage
-You saved this old man's retirement funds
-You saved this old man's relationship with his only fucken son, Roger, and that's all that mattered to him.

Feel better!
