Maxim storms a family hall and humiliates Ms. Llyod, demanding kneeling and all shares. A relative offers his shares and begs for his sister’s life, but Maxim refuses and claims he’ll take every family share. He taunts Ms. Llyod, then orders Mr. Watts to break her arms and legs and send her to the wastelands. Colt steps forward to protect her—taking the attack and collapsing—while saying he’ll hold them back because Mr. Llyod ordered protection before he died. Ms. Llyod refuses to kneel; Maxim’s command to maim her hangs as violence looms.
