Workers storm Paul's office demanding unpaid wages. Paul admits fault, names longtime staff—Liam, Rachel (a widow), Zane, Ethan and Hunter—and begs for one more day, promising, "I'll get your wages to you by today." Some employees reluctantly accept and disperse. Alone afterward, Paul tells Ms. Blanca to sell his house, car and anything valuable to make payroll by day's end. The episode ends with Paul pledging his last assets to cover wages, leaving payment dependent on his desperate, time-limited plan and the looming deadline.
