Workers storm Horizon Group demanding unpaid wages—shouting 'Horizon Group, pay me my wages!' outside the office. Inside, Mr. Smith confronts Victor, Grace and their faction, who offer to take over the company and handle the missing funds. They admit all company funds were transferred and call Horizon an empty shell, then threaten force if he resists. Mr. Smith refuses to hand the firm over. Before the standoff resolves, he's told his mother has late-stage liver cancer and needs 5 million for a transplant. The episode ends with his urgent, unresolved dilemma.
