- I see you have an alarm.

- Yeah.

We have the system,

but we let the service lapse.

Trying to cut back a little.

Yeah. Well, I'd suggest

turning it back on.

It's money well spent.

Be safe.

Three bedroom, two bath.

It needs a bit of updating,

but that's just a chance

to really make it yours.

Wait till you see the kitchen.

I checked the comps, honey.

This is a great buying opportunity.

You know, I gotta take this.

Why don't you ladies keep going.

I'm gonna catch up.

Sure.

OK... come here...

It's OK.

It's OK. It's all right.

- Do you need anything?

- No-no-no, I got it.

Hang on. Here we go. OK, OK.

OK. Deep breath. Ready?

- You better?

- Mm-hmm.

Yeah?

All right. Good girl.

It gets easier.

My oldest, Jesse, was sick

all the time when he was little.

It was like he was allergic

to the entire world.

How'd you get through it?

I worried a lot.

Yeah. And I took it day by day.

And he got older and the episodes

happened less and less and...

Now, hardly ever a cold.

That sounds nice.

So what do you think of this place?

Is it a "buying opportunity"?

I know I'm supposed to be

selling you...

...but you can probably do better.

A silent hunter, the great white shark

stalks its prey

with near invisibility,

its attack both unstoppable and fatal.

Here off the coast of...

I think maybe we should cut

back on the cable for a while.

Well, maybe we should

just wait a week,

because you might get

the good news on that job.

I...

Yeah, I don't...

I don't think I got it, Lace.

Wait a second. I don't understand.

You said it went great.

Oh, no, it went OK. It did.

But there's just...

there's a lot of competition.

So...

- You lied?

- Come on, Lace.

You did, didn't you?

Why would you do that, Daniel?

Look, I just didn't...

I wanted to not give you bad news.

- OK.

- For once.

- So you lied about it?

- I didn't lie...

...exactly. I just...

You know, you've been

so stressed lately...

Do not do that!

Do not make this about me.

Lunar Base to Command Control.

Come in, Command Control. Over.

Go for Command Control.

Picking up hostile transmission

on all frequencies. Over.

Just ignore them, Sammy.

Try to go to sleep.

Command Control?

Yes, Lunar Base?

Do you think Dad's gonna leave?

No.

Why would you say that, Sammy?

Sammy, why would you say that?

'Cause Tau told me

his parents argued every night,

then his dad moved

to an apartment by the airport,

and now he only sees him

on the weekends.

Don't worry Sammy,

Dad's not moving anywhere.

Now try and go to sleep.

Stay with your brother!

- Hello?

- This is City One Protection.

May I have your name

and password, please?
