The Night He Chose to Be Caught - Episode 5

An underpaid worker confronts Mr. Ford after receiving only $700 and asks where the $20,000 he gave an agent for moving fees went. Ford's people count cash, hand over the short payment and threaten, "you will be finished in Phoemor," then drive him off. He explains his burden—dead mother, gambling father, a wasteful niece—and admits desperation. Ms. Adams intervenes, gives her private number and urges him to interview at Adams Group for better pay. As the head of Aethon Group arrives, someone asks, "Next time, how many times do you want?" leaving his choice unresolved.
