Paul Smith, president of Horizon Group, faces a desperate moment as his company goes bankrupt and his workers await unpaid wages. He approaches Lewis, a man he barely knows, to borrow five million dollars with a promise to repay in a month. Lewis recalls a past favor when Paul delayed lending him a small emergency loan. To test Paul’s sincerity, Lewis demands he kneel and beg for the money. Paul hesitates but realizes his workers’ futures depend on it. The episode ends as Paul reluctantly agrees to kneel, awaiting Lewis’s final decision.
