Every single one of those payments

was paid in full.

Overdue is still overdue.

Mr. and Mrs. Wilson...

my employer...

is refusing to extend the noose

you've left dangling

over this property.

And given that we've tried

to remove it...

several times in the past,

our only option now...

is to cut the rope

before it strangles us both.

- I'm sorry, I don't follow.

- Foreclosure.

No.

- They can't, sweetheart.

- They can.

We can.

You see, your income source

has waned drastically

over the past six months.

To levels that might as well

be nonexistent.

It's not in the better interest

of our financial lenders

to risk continuing the mortgage

on your property.

You know, we got a situation here.

The last six months we've lost

hundreds of prime livestock.

Every week we find more

and more of them

lying out there

with their bloody throats ripped out.

These are exceptional

circumstances...

There's gotta be compassionate

ground, something you can work with.

We have dual incomes now,

on the advice of your employer,

I might add.

We just need a little more time.

Please.

How much do you charge

for a general appointment at your...

"Pet Clinic and Animal Hotel"?

Well, it depends on the procedure.

- It's quite expensive...

- An average figure.

- 100 dollars.

- 100 dollars?

MAN:
Hmm. Now, let me see...

your current overdue repayments...

divided by 100 dollars equals...

Are you telling me that

in a rural area such as this...

you know of 194 sick animals

that are gonna be coming to visit

your little pet clinic

every month?

I'm not here to insult

your intelligence.

Then, why are you here?

I'm here to offer you both one last

chance to wipe the slate clean.

Not in a pink fit.

What does that mean?

We rather this doesn't play out

in front of the legal system.

Okay... How much?

Two... hundred...

200,000...

It's even less

than the last offer.

And what if we refuse?

Then, we'll see no option

but to drag it through the courts.

It's a long and tedious process...

but you and your family

will be served an eviction notice.

And you'll be forced

to vacate the property

within the next 48 hours.

MAN:
This land

and all your assets on it

will be sold at auction

to the highest bidder.

The sale total,

minus various fees and charges.

Let's just say, all you'll be left with

is the noose.

[ Chuckles ]

And if we take it?

Your family can relocate

and start afresh.

With a little money in the bank.

A sea change, maybe.

Oh, we're not selling.

This conversation's over.

- We should take it.

- Sophie, stay out of this.

I live here too, which means

I have the right to an opinion.

- ADAM:
You don't understand...
