When Jeff hears cries from the conference room, he remembers his past life: he saved his colleague Rachel from their manager, Rick Hughes, only for her to accuse him of the assault. The company fired him, his wife Emily divorced him, and friends abandoned him. A month later he saw Rachel with Hughes, who shoved him into a lake, and he drowned.

Now awake on the day it all began, Jeff walks away and lets the assault happen. At work, Rachel slaps him, demanding to know why he did nothing; he slaps her back and denies seeing anything. Department head Mr. Evans intervenes as Rachel hurls a glass ashtray and refuses to involve the police.
