What did the beginning mean?


What was that about when those two men broke in and beat up Michael Keaton?

reply

It was his previous scam, Keaton then filed a lawsuit and got money and/or the property.

reply

Thank you, bc-in-va. So he had done the same kind of stuff to those people, as he would do to Matthew Modine & Mel Griffith next.

Those 2 guys were working for the landlord of the condo block where Patty meets Ann, they were trying to evict them

reply

Exactly, GIRobotII.

He had been scamming those people and terrorizing them, as he would soon do to Matthew Modine and Melanie Griffin's characters next, when he moved into their building.

They were hired by the real Carter Hayes....So Michael Keaton did the same thing to Carter Hayes as Patty and Drake and the real Carter Hayes hired those guys to hurt Hayes as revenge. Carter knew this would happen and used it to get Carter Hayes building.
