House of Sand and Fog
Are you Kathy Nicolo?
Yeah.
ls this your house?
Nadi, of course
agreed that it was
a wonderful idea
to cut down the trees at our home
on the Caspian
to have the sea spread before us,
to reach infinity with our eyes,
to see forever.
But then,
our life went the way
of the trees,
when the Ayatollahs ripped the soul
out of our beautiful country.
Well, enough.
Today is not a day for the old.
lt is a day for the young.
To the future.
To our Soraya. May she be
a happy wife as she is a bride.
And perhaps
she will not forget her poor mother
and father so soon
and return to us and give us
many little grandbabies.
A father can dream.
He's so tan.
-Retirement's good to the coronel.
-He's not retired.
-He works for Boeing.
-He doesn't work for Boeing.
My son works for Boeing.
Who knows what he does now.
l love you.
-Hello?
-Kathy?
-What time is it?
-lt's nine o'clock.
Mom, that's 6 A.M. here.
l don't think 6 A.M.
will kill you.
Your father got up at 4:30 every day
of his life. God bless his soul.
-How's it going? How's the program?
-Fine.
l'm fine.
One day at a time, right?
l just hope it's working.
How is everyone there?
Frankie's good. Salesman of the
Month again. You know your brother.
His Lisa's in her seventh month.
How's your better half?.
Fine.
He's right here.
He's sleeping.
Sleeping?
Mom, l'm really tired.
l'm gonna go, okay?
l forgot, Aunt Frances won a trip
to Reno. We'll come out on the 18th.
l thought we'd stop by
to see you.
-The 18th?
-Yeah. Two weeks.
Yeah, okay.
Nick will be away on business,
though.
-Again?
-Yeah.
l'm gonna go, okay?
You're still not smoking,
right?.
-Bye.
-You know it's...
Just a second!
You Kathy Lazaro?
Yeah. Why?
Kathy Lazaro, due to the nonpayment
of business taxes
associated with this property,
the county has petitioned the court
on its behalf to reclaim the costs.
This should come as no surprise
to you. l'm sure you've had
ample warning.
We've sent many notices.
Now the house is up for auction
starting tomorrow morning.
Auction?
What are you talking about?
Are you out of your mind?
There's no smoking in my house.
Hey, Chuck.
l see your number
right here, man.
Are we going to meet down there?
lt's supposed to be
a hot one today.
l'd dress lightly
if l were you.
That's okay,
because l'm not leaving.
l'm afraid you have no choice,
Mrs. Lazaro.
All of your things will be
auctioned off with the property.
Do you want that?
Look, you can't evict me.
l never owed a fucking business tax.
lt doesn't make any sense.
Okay. Well,
this is where l get off.
Deputy Sheriff Burdon will assist
you with vacating the property.
Do you have a lawyer?
l can't afford a lawyer.
l'm a house cleaner.
This is the number for the Legal
Assistance Office. They might help.
Nothing's written in blood.
Youjust have to clear out today.
You may be moving back in next week.
ln the meantime,
maybe you can call
some friends or family,
stay with them.
There's no one to call.
l tell you what.
l know some movers
that owe me a favor.
Brian!
Go down to Safeway
and get some boxes.
Let's help this lady pack up.
Lester.
May l help you?
My car is parked here.
-What happened to you?
-l fell.
-Again?
-Yeah.
Wash up. Do not get blood
on the floor.
The house was repossessed
for tax payment delinquency.
lt's got three bedrooms,
one bath...
A widow's walk
would increase the value.
What is this ''widow's walk''?
lt's a deck on top of the house,
so you can see the ocean.
We still got some time here.
