House of Sand and Fog Page #3

Thank you.

l think l should go.

What happened?

l'll tell you what happened.

My yard is a construction site.

-You were there?

-Yeah.

l was there.

l was at my house.

l stepped on some nails.

l was bleeding on my own doorstep,

waiting for a stranger to let me in.

You can't just go over there.

Let us handle this.

l want them out of my house.

They're already more at home there

than l ever was.

Did you get their name?

Bahroony?

Behmini, something like that. l

don't know. They're Middle Eastern.

-Gary.

-Yes. Connie?

Type a letter to the courier service

and get it to a Mr. Behrmini.

lt's damn hard

to sell a house nowadays.

This is what you call

a real buyer's market.

Sorry, but she comes in at

$174,000.

-You're late, Behrani.

-l'm not late.

l have come to tell you that l am

no longer to return to this job.

You tell the office, Colonel?

No.

So why tell me?

ls this you?

''...inform you

that under these circumstances...

we request that you vacate

the property immediately.''

Mother whores!

goddamn it!

Mr. Barmeeny is here.

Mr. Barmeeny...

My name is Behrani.

Colonel Massoud

Amir Behrani.

l wish to speak with Mr. Walsh,

please.

l'm Connie Walsh.

This is my office, Colonel.

Please come in.

l'm sure our letter

came as a shock to you.

The situation is this:

Pacific County has made

a number of mistakes.

First, they levied a tax on my

client, which she did not owe.

Second, they evicted her

for nonpayment.

Third, they auctioned

the property.

-And this is where you come in.

-But l now own the house.

l paid for it in cash.

l have a bill of sale.

Here, please.

Would you be willing to sell

the county back the house?

l can assure you they would make it

a comfortable transaction.

Please listen to me very carefully,

Miss Walsh.

The only comfortable

transaction possible

is if the county tax office

paid to me $174,000.

Mr. Behrani, you only paid

a quarter of that amount.

The market can already

pay me this.

good morning, Miss Walsh.

Wait, please.

From a legal standpoint,

you are in the right.

But the true owner of this house

is living in a motel.

Her belongings are locked in

storage. Why should she wait

to get back into her home that

was wrongfully taken from her?

Just because you want

to turn a profit?

Things are not as they appear.

lt is a matter of necessity

for me and my family.

l'm sorry.

l do not have a choice

in this matter.

Hi.

This is a surprise.

Good one or bad one?

lt's good. lt's good.

What happened to your foot?

l stopped by my house, and they were

doing some construction on the roof.

-l stepped on some nails.

-Thanks for letting me ride along

today, Mr. Burdon.
