I'm Connie Walsh. This
is my office, Colonel.

:38:05
Please come in.
:38:12
I'm sure our letter came
as a shock to you, Colonel.

:38:15
The situation is this: Pacific
County has made a number of mistakes.

:38:20
First, they levied a tax on my
client which she did not owe.

:38:23
Second, they evicted her for nonpayment.
And third, they auctioned the property.

:38:28
- Unfortunately, this is where you come in.
- But I now own the house.

:38:32
I paid for it in cash. I have
a bill of sale. Here, please.

:38:37
Would you sell the
county back the house?

:38:39
They would make it as comfortable
a transaction as possible.

:38:43
Please listen to me very carefully. The
only comfortable transaction possible

:38:48
is if the county tax
office paid to me $174,000.

:38:52
Mr. Behrani, you only paid
a quarter of that amount.

:38:58
The market can already pay me
this. Good morning, Miss Walsh.

:39:03
Wait, please.
:39:06
From a legal standpoint,
you are in the right.

:39:08
But the true owner of this house
is living in a motel, Mr. Behrani.

:39:12
All her belongings
are locked in storage.

:39:14
Why should she wait to get back into
her home that was wrongfully taken?

:39:18
Just because you want to turn a profit.
:39:21
Things are not as they appear.
:39:24
It is a matter of necessity
for me and my family.

:39:28
I'm sorry. I do not have
a choice in this matter.
