Farhad was a store owner that relied on the store financially. The store he ran was all he had besides his wife and daughter. He decides to buy a gun at the beginning of the film to protect the store after it had been broken into. His daughter protests, begging him not to buy the gun but he explains, “That man would have killed your mother. You think I should let crazy people do what they want to us” (Haggis)? His wife was present at the time of the robbery and he felt he needed to protect his family as well as the store. After the break in, Farhad got Daniel Ruiz, the locksmith, to replace the lock on the already broken door. Ruiz did his job and left the store after arguing with farhad about the lock that he fixed. Farhad accuses Ruiz of trying to scam him and says, “he cheat me; you try to cheat me right” (Haggis)? Soon after, the store is completely destroyed and vandalized. The insurance company does not cover any of the damages due to the fact that Ruiz already fixed the lock. It was not the lock that granted access for the burglary, it was the broken door. Since Ruiz already tried to explain this to Farhad prior to the breakin, the insurance company owes him nothing. Farhad is enraged and tracks down Ruiz and gets his information. He goes to Ruiz’s house, armed with the gun, with the intent of killing him. He arrives at Ruiz’s house and pulls a gun n him and demands the money he owes
