Trapped outside a sealed door and warned they’ll die if it isn’t opened, a group faces an impossible demand: they must collect fees. Newcomers arrive, including a boy, Louie. Mr. Barton orders Louie to stand back while he tests an anomalous security inside. The anomaly enforces payment — it targets a cripple’s good leg and forces a man to shout “I’ll pay!” Observing this, others attempt to use the anomaly to collect, but the person inside resists. The episode ends when someone calls the presence inside “a good one,” leaving the door and the group's next move unresolved.
