House of Sand and Fog Page #2

l don't know. March?

l hate to be the bearer of bad news,

but apparently the county's

-already sold your house.

-What?

No!

They can't do that.

The auction date

has been set for months.

Don't worry. l'll demand

they rescind the sale

or we'll file a lawsuit against

the county and get your house back.

Before the 18th, right?

lt's possible.

F***.

Hello?

Sorry.

-l didn't mean to scare you.

-Don't do that.

You all right?

Yeah, l'm fine. You?

Good, good.

You working undercover

or something?

Excuse me?

No. l'm off.

l drive by this way

and l figured

l'd check in on you.

See how you're holding up.

They already sold your house?

Technically,

it's mine and my brother's.

My dad let it to us

when he died.

l haven't told my family.

My lawyer is trying to get them

to rescind us.

So l'm trying not to harp

on the negative.

You have any kids, Mr. Burdon?

Two.

Call me Lester.

My husband left me

eight months ago.

No one knows that, either.

Do you mind if l give you

some professional advice?

No.

Do it all through your lawyer,

Kathy.

l wouldn't even drive past that

house till the keys are in my hand.

Thanks for checking in on me.

Sure.

Night.

Kathy, wait.

This is my direct number

at the department.

Most of the time l'm on patrol,

but if you ever need anything,

anything at all,

just leave a message.

See you.

Good night.

lt is like

our garden in lsfahan.

Hello?

Hello?

Yeah?

Your credit card didn't go through.

That's two days now.

God, l'm really sorry about that.

Look, l'm going to get

my paycheck on Friday.

ls there any way we can just

let it slide until then?

The only affordable way

to put a terrace up there

is to put the stairs

on the outside.

lt will have to block

that kitchen window.

l could do that for about a grand.

lf we have to go through the roof,

you're talking four to seven.

-But this window must be obstructed?

-l don't see any other way.

That is acceptable.

Can you start today?

What are you doing?

-Excuse me?

-What the f*** are you doing?

This is my house!

-Who are you?

-Who said you could do this?

Are you Mrs. Behrani?

No.

Mr. Behrani hired us.

You'll have to talk to him.

F***!

Sh*t!

Damn!

Stay right there!

Don't move!

Oh, man!

Careful.

Can we use your bathroom?

She stepped on a nail.

Sorry, ma'am.

Could we use your washroom

to clean her foot?

lt is okay.

For one moment, please.

-Here you go.

-Thanks.

Have you had

a tetanus shot lately?

l'm going to be sick.

ls she bleeding?

Excuse me.

l don't want to ruin

your towel.

Here. l use this

for skateboarding.

Don't worry.

l washed it.

Okay.

This is, of course,

our family pictures.
