and you're not gonna do

much better for this price.

Um, how flexible do you think

the sellers will be on the terms?

They are highly motivated.

I mean, I think

we can be very...

Are you OK?

Lacy?

' - Lacy?

- Lacy!

' Oh' my God!

- Hello?

- Hey, it's Pete.

What the hell happened to you?

I've been calling for hours.

I got a message from a very distressed

client saying you had

some kind of a breakdown in the middle

of the walk-through this morning.

They were about to call 911

for Christ's sakes,

- but you walked out of the house.

- Oh, my God.

Look, I know it's been

rough out there,

but maybe you should

take a break for a little while.

No, Pete, I can't do that.

OK, well, the thing is

I'm not asking, Lacy.

Your clients took their business

over to Sunshine Realty.

I'm sorry, kiddo. Just call me

when you're feeling better.

Oh, God.

- Pete, please let me explain, OK?

- Mrs. Barrett?

This is Janice Rhodes

from the National Wildlife Center.

I got your husband's voice mail,

so I thought I'd try you.

Oh, I'm sorry.

Yes, go ahead.

I have some new information

about the incident,

but I'm afraid it raises

more questions than it answers.

Oh, w-what kind of questions?

The birds were negative for avian flu.

But what we did determine

is that the impact trajectories

indicate the birds were

part of three different flocks

and not one,

as we originally assumed.

I don't understand.

So what does that mean?

What it means is

that three different migrations

coming from three different directions

flew into your house, Mrs. Barrett.

It's as if something was

drawing them to your home.

Have you been working on

anything since leaving Jacobson?

You know, I've been tinkering

with a few personal projects,

but pretty much enjoying

just being a stay-at-home dad.

Oh, really?

Oh, man, what I wouldn't give

for a little time

like that with my family.

Yeah. No, it's... it's been great.

You guys got big plans

for the Fourth, or...?

My kids got me running all over

town looking for fireworks.

No, I think we'll probably

stick close to home.

Well, listen, Daniel,

I'm really glad you came in.

I loved what you did

on the Bay Cities project.

- Thank you.

- All the other partners

are very supportive,

so I say we do it.

- Really?

- Really.

- What do you say?

- I... Yes!

- It's yours. All right?

- Fantastic.

- Absolutely. I'll be in touch, OK?

- Great.

- OK.

- Have a good Fourth.

Thank you very much.

Hello?

Hi.

I've got news.

- Me, too.

- I got it, Lace.

I got the job.

Are you serious, Daniel?

They want me to start on the 15th.

Daniel, that's... that's amazing!

Let's see if Karen and Mike
