In due course, we see the conflict increase to the point that one man feels his only alternative is armed retaliation against the other. The conflict begins as Daniel responds to a locksmith call at Farhad’s shop. Daniel replaces a broken lock on the shop’s back door, but tries to explain to Farhad that the door itself is the problem, not the lock.

As for the Mexican locksmith, he must be a part of a gang and looking for trouble if he has tattoos and his pants
