Part 3/9:
Parallel to the agents' story is that of David, a mechanic grappling with personal demons—he's mourning his wife and recently lost his job due to ongoing struggles and distractions. His financial state is dire, and his daughter, Anni, is in jeopardy of losing her college education due to unpaid tuition. David's encounter with Zach, a veteran seeking work, serves to highlight his loneliness and despair, leading to a fateful night at a bar.
An escalating fight instigated by a disrespectful patron provides a pivotal moment in the narrative. It leads to the revelation of Zach’s war injury, and with the aftermath, David feels a renewed camaraderie that gives him a fleeting sense of hope amidst his struggles.
