Mr. Bray's confidence is challenged by his opponent about the consequences of losing. His aggressive man, Marvin, is restrained from starting a brawl, with the conflict redirected to an official fight in the ring. A high-stakes wager is set: if Mr. Bray loses, he and his people must leave for good. Accepting the challenge, Mr. Bray defiantly invites all opponents at once, but privately acknowledges his two fighters aren't ready and urgently needs to stall to devise a strategy.
