On the Line

A security guard at a department store is in love with a female co-worker, though he has trouble approaching her with his feelings. However, before he can muster a chance to tell her, he sees her on the subway with another man. When the other man and the lady have an argument, the security officer just sits and watches. When she leaves, he then watches as a gang of punks begin harassing the guy. When the harassment gets violent, the security guy just gets off the train and leaves the poor guy to the thugs. Not being able to deal with his bad conscience, his formerly controlled life breaks down.
