Workers surround their boss after discovering the company account is empty and assets were transferred, demanding wages. Shouting "Pay us our wages!" they call for Paul, accuse him of holding back pay, and press Mr. Smith for a solution. Mr. Smith takes responsibility, appeals to their shared loyalty, and vows to raise the money, even by selling his house and car. He asks for one last chance. The episode ends with the workforce unconvinced and unpaid, his promise the only plan and its success left unresolved.
