A group is forced to stand beneath a heavy device while an assailant gives them one chance: they have ten seconds to break free and run before it drops. The captives plead for reasons, and the attacker shrugs, "You pissed me off." Tensions spike when someone rejects the idea that the Howard family controls everything, and another replies bluntly that in Riverton the Howard family is the law. The captor counts down from ten to one. As the final second arrives, escape or disaster hangs unresolved.
