Sawyer is in a hotel room with a woman who we assume is his girlfriend. They’re talking and smooching when she notices the time and reminds Sawyer that he should be at a meeting. He quickly rushes to get dressed and grabs his brief case off the top of the wardrobe, but it opens and reveals a whole lot of cash which falls out onto the floor.

After Sawyer has explained that the money is part of a deal that will triple it, and that his meeting is with someone to put in the other half that’s needed, she tells him that she will invest the other half. Sawyer asks her where she’s going to get that much money from, to which she replies “my husband”.

A meeting is soon in place with the woman and her husband. Her husband is a little reluctant to get in on the deal until Sawyer tells him he can take his half of the cash with him and keep it for the night. The man is only 100% convinced that this is a legit deal when Sawyer calmly tells him that he’ll find someone else and starts to walk away.

In a bar, Sawyer is playing pool with someone who it turns out Sawyer owes money to. Sawyer explains that he likes to spend the money as much as he likes to earn it. The guy isn’t too impressed with his charm and tells Sawyer he wants his money back.
A few days later Sawyer is at the womans house to collect her husbands money for the deal, but when he sees that they have a young boy it triggers some bad memories for him and decides to call the deal off. He leaves the house with an angry man shouting after him.
