00:20Here's the report on that brick of yours face tag
00:23Great little partner you got there be a shame if something happened to her
00:30Susan
00:52So are we gonna go
00:55Tag because you promised me an exclusive private showing
01:00Of what the home you sold me it has everything on my list everything a young trendy guy like me needs cozy below-ground walkout
01:07quiet neighborhood lots of natural wood I
01:12Don't want to be late
01:15I
01:28Was your friend coming with us
01:31She's not my friend
01:33Maybe we can leave for that too late. We're already here
01:38It's perfect don't leave I
01:41I have to I'm home. Please. I have to Susan. You know how I feel about home
01:51Just be careful she seems really mad about something
02:10I
02:40I
02:52Can't believe he's gone
02:54out
02:56out brief candle
02:59Life is but a walking shadow
03:03Shakespeare
03:06Scottish play
03:09Oh great, thanks
03:18Hey
03:19So that was Briar Meadows. They're gonna handle all the details
03:24Thanks, Lomax. I
03:26Understand there will be no memorial service
03:29Tex attorney said he was very specific with what he wanted in his will
03:33He asked that his cremated remains and I'm quoting here
03:37He wanted them
03:39transported to the South American Alta Plano
03:41Along with a few hundred thousand pesos to compensate an indigenous Chilean Hwaso for spreading his ashes
03:47So they might mingle among the scat of the proud alpaca in the land of their birth
03:53eccentric to the last
03:55Wow, I mean we get people who want to bury their ashes at Knott's Berry Farm this feels
04:01Way more poetic anybody heard from Susan
04:08Sorry, I'm late I should have called I I didn't sleep very well, of course not. Okay, I'm fine
04:17Tag is gone and I'm just
04:22I'm just fine
04:23You didn't have to come in
04:25I need to keep things moving on the Matthew closing the Elizabeth open house the taut contract
04:30But especially the Kamara listings would have kept him till Monday. No, I just I need to work
04:50Hey, I
04:53I
04:53Just wanted to say just because Susan feels like working through this doesn't mean you guys have to I'd like to keep busy
05:00Same. What are the cops say? I'll talk to them this morning. They're calling this a random hit-and-run
05:06Making the usual increase. They don't think anything will come of it. It's so wrong
05:12Let's stop by tags place later something made him leave that building
05:17otherwise
05:18All we could do is support Susan
05:20Where'd she go a dumb bank repo, what's the name?
05:50I
06:21Max yell or something. Sorry
06:24I wanted to let you know that I can take care of all of this if you want to get everything ready for the walk
06:29through at Valley High
06:33Hmm must have taken out most of the personal stuff, huh? This is how she left it
06:39Feels more like a furnished apartment than the lived-in house of a real live person
06:44Not even a Christmas card from four years ago and the bank didn't have any record of savings checking credit cards
06:52nothing
06:55She's a senior software engineer
06:58She must have made good money with nobody to spend it on
07:02She lived alone
07:04Died in her sleep upstairs
07:06cardiac arrest
07:07Hmm. I didn't find her for three days
07:10Yeah
07:13See this is my worst nightmare
07:15One day you're fine. You're living life making plans and then suddenly BAM. Oh, you're dead
07:21You're out of the game
07:23All the stuff you were gonna do forget it all the secrets you were gonna hide too late
07:28In business you were gonna finish. Sorry Charlie. Yeah, but to die in your sleep. I mean
07:35You should all be so lucky. I
07:37Mean, there's nothing pleasant about a lingering death, but at least you can tie up some loose ends while you linger
07:43Oh
07:47God I am so sorry. I
07:50For no, no, no, no. No, no, my mom probably would have loved to go out fast in a blaze of glory
07:56Dorothy didn't even have a will
07:59No, well, no relatives. Nobody
08:02Dying in test date is as bad as it sounds
08:05Go get out of here spend some extra time at Valley High before we hand it off to the buyers
08:13You are a pal
08:23I wish my house was this clean
08:27We did it mom I
08:29Know you had your heart set on shiplap in the on-street, but there was no way it was gonna happen
08:32Set on shiplap in the on-street, but there was no way it was gonna work with those north-facing windows
08:38Besides Tiffany and Priyanka love terrazzo
08:42They're the new owners
08:45Or they will be a mother and a daughter
08:49Put it under contract. They're pre-qualified
08:53We'll close as soon as the masonry is finished and the inspections done
08:57I
09:02Don't have the time of their lives here
09:06Susan hi. Hush. What are you doing here? Listen, I I
09:14Heard about that guy that worked with you a buddy of mine down the station 14 told me are you okay?
09:21I'm getting by
09:24He was really nice
09:27Look, I know what that kind of
09:31accident
09:32loss
09:34What that can do to you?
09:36so
09:38I'm not gonna tell you not to feel that way. That's not how it works. I I just I
09:44Just don't want you to feel that way alone
09:48But if you need someone to feel that way with you I'm your guy
09:58I'm here. Thank you
10:02Look I'm late for work and I parked in front of a fire hydrant
10:09but
10:10Are you gonna be okay? I'm fine crash really
10:16But call me tonight, okay, I promise
10:20I
10:25Right
10:34Peonies mom a man has brought me peonies
10:50I
11:20I
11:30The shit always happened right before closing
11:46The George Richard asylum for the criminally insane
11:50Oh
12:20I
12:50I
13:17That doesn't make sense
13:21That's just what I said, all right
13:24What you murmured oh
13:31Sorry
13:33Conversations I start in my head often spill out when I get tired. Ah, that's
13:39It having a lot more back in the funeral home things from my day would just cling to me and turn into these crazy dreams
13:46Dreams
13:49Let's believe
13:51Dreams are one of the ways by which the brain processes information
13:55But I find them incredibly auspicious
13:58Auspicious the sign a recurring dream is usually my first indication. I'm onto something big. Oh
14:07Hello
14:09I
14:13Need dual readings
14:16What does that mean?
14:18No idea
14:20It's never happened before
14:40This is logging
14:46Hello, hey hockey, can you dig it?
14:54I'm asking can you dig it? I
15:01Can dig it
15:09Oh
15:18This would appear to be the spot
15:39Oh
15:43Are you okay? Oh
15:47Audience I
15:48Seem to have had a rather
15:50disturbing dream
15:52Welcome to the club. It was a woman. I
15:55Couldn't see her face. There was a strange woman in my dream, too. She tried to choke me. Oh
16:06Surely you came here for something a favor
16:09One of my listings has developed a little tiny bit of a disembodied screaming problem
16:15House that screams it laughs to not happy comedy club laughs, but loud
16:21insane and wahaha stuff
16:24interesting
16:25Apparently some of the bricks we used in an accent wall have a rather complicated past
16:31Is that even a thing? I've never encountered it
16:34But I suppose if a certain material came from a site of
16:39Enormous emotional trauma and despair it couldn't leach into the walls and floor
16:44especially something porous like brick
16:47I was wondering if you anything around here, you know off the shelf that might help I
16:53Could look at the place. I
16:55Assume it's one of our listings
16:58Well, yes and no
17:03I
17:34You
17:37You
17:59Susan this is marvelous
18:03it was hard, but
18:05It was a mission
18:08There's a story here my mom
18:11we always watch those flipping shows together and said we could do better and
18:17God Lomax is like Jackson Pollock with spackle
18:22Anyway, we fixed it. We staged it and we sold it
18:27Somewhere Susan your mother is smiling
18:30Honestly, my first thought was oh god mom doesn't like that. I'm selling
18:36Constance was not a screamer. She would be much more likely to
18:40Short out your blow-dryer or lower your credit scores
18:44That's true
18:53Suppose that's a design choice
19:00Perhaps you should go to the source
19:05Hey Lomax, we need to talk to your pal Victor
19:22I was surprised to get your call. What are we drinking a little early in the day, but I'm a team player
19:30A
19:33Friend of mine was killed in a hit-and-run last night a
19:38Hell of a conversation starter. Oh
19:42Well, someone's gonna kill you
19:46Who's Lloyd break
19:50His name was tag
19:53Did you ever meet him
20:01Your employees
20:03Just not my kind of people
20:06Your partner Susan the lovely girl, I'm sure but God she is kind of a snooze
20:22Tag was just a kid
20:24Just one four years old
20:27And his whole life in front of her
20:31Or not
20:37That's the shitty thing to say
20:42Grow up
20:44He had his whole life in front of him, it's a cliche
20:49Let me tell you the terrible shitty truth for a second Luke
20:54None of us have anything ahead of us
20:57Nothing
21:00Except for what we make scrape
21:03Claw by beg borrow or steal from somebody else who's trying just as hard to keep it for themselves
21:14This is what I've been trying to make you understand
21:18This is why I tried to get you into my deal your deal
21:22You
21:26You're making all of this out of a dead for be
21:30people die every day Luke
21:33But you know what?
21:34people live to
21:37Honestly, I've been trying to throw you a life preserver just toss you a little rope ladder that you can climb out of this
21:45rusty playpen of mediocrity that you call a life
21:49But I am bored and exhausted
21:55Now I'm gonna get drunk
21:57So just piss off
21:59Pretend I didn't try to give you the opportunity of a lifetime and for the love of God
22:05Go find another Asperger's poster boy with high-speed internet. I
22:10Guarantee you they're out there
22:19I
22:49Really glad that we had this talk
23:06Karas Malik you had one job. I seven
23:12Want to hit a few balls
23:15Great for tension. You're always so
23:19Tight you failed. I
23:23Did not I found my way in
23:26grief
23:28Not exhaustion. Not alcohol. Not hardship grief
23:32His sniffling sadness over the loss of these annoying fragile lumps of carbon grief is my way in
23:38So what are you waiting for?
23:44It was great
23:46Wasn't enough there is no more time Alec. The window is closing. I
23:53Waited over 30 years for this
23:56in the lake
23:58the lake seven
24:00You'll get your way in just hold that spot for me. The spot may be gone. No, or it may not
24:11Okay, now you're just being mean it is up to you Malik
24:16If you fail, I cannot describe the excruciating depth of the consequences
24:27I won't fail
24:32Don't
24:37Right in the middle of my goddamn backswing
24:46I
24:54Hey
24:56Hey
24:59Getting all right. Yeah
25:01Late in the day for an eye-opener, isn't it?
25:04This is a red eye double espresso top with drip Navy SEALs would drink these before a night mission
25:09Good luck falling asleep tonight
25:12That's the idea
25:14August Susan to what's doing it is here. If I'm wrong you can buy the next round
25:29Everything's pretty much how she left it. Apparently she turned off the light went to sleep and never woke up
25:36Dorothy Camara died in her sleep. Yeah heart thing. Susan sent me her bank records. No savings. No credit card
25:43She was a software engineer. She made good money
25:45Where'd it go? Well, certainly not into lavish home furnishings
25:55Who's that
26:02Oh my god, that's her Dorothy Camara the woman in my dream
26:10Me and Lydia
26:13That's her she strangled me in the car
26:17Dorothy Camara
26:19Soon the little girl is Lydia
26:21niece
26:22No living family
26:24So Dorothy Camara is reaching out from our dreams. How does that even work? And why is she so mad?
26:32People who die unexpectedly in their sleep
26:34manifest in different ways there is often
26:37confusion anger and
26:39a very strong sense of purpose
26:42So, can we get her to stop making guest cameos in our nightmares and she cut me this close to my carotid
26:49She wants something
26:51To find out what it is
26:54You dreamt about I dreamt about tag I was driving into his grave
27:04What'd you dream about
27:06started with some familiar iconography from a dream I often have
27:11Then it changed I
27:13found myself digging in the backyard of the Camara house and she was there the pickaxe a
27:19total disregard for OSHA excavation safety standards
27:24Lomax
27:26Horror show I watched Dorothy do an incision on me like an autopsy you only instead of guts. There were gold coins inside
27:34Gold coins. Yeah paid out like a slot machine
27:38Okay, so she doesn't like us most likely reason is the usual one
27:49We're real estate people she doesn't want to sell her house, but why I mean, it's a pretty simple house
27:55There's not a lot of her shining through just a photo
28:00her and Lydia
28:01October 2023
28:03sorry, I have to go postpone the closing and
28:07See a man about a brick. Oh, I'm coming with you. Hey check in later, okay?
28:14So right now you have metal detector
28:26So help me out here
28:29How is this shit my problem cursed building materials are everyone's problem you sold us a defective product
28:36They look pretty stationary now. I saw what I saw and this is not her first time at this particular rodeo
28:45Ladies a
28:47Brick wall
28:49It's not a handbag. You can't just return it because you don't like the color no more
28:54especially
28:57If the install is shoddy you take that back don't do it man
29:03He's not worth it
29:06Have a nice day ladies
29:14It does that up doesn't it
29:17Dorothy had a six-figure income and yet she never seemed to spend it
29:21You're digging dreams. Oh max is coins
29:25I just don't know how Susan dream fits in yet
29:32This may be it
29:46If we have to replace that wall we're gonna be way over budget and blow the schedule
29:51Devin career gonna be heartbroken they might back out of the deal well shit
29:57Feel like I let them down and my mom
30:01tag
30:03Susan
30:04But that's what I do now. I let people down
30:20I
30:50My oh
30:53It's very least you should probably waive our Commission
30:58What now you both had bad dreams after you left the house I was just in there
31:07Oh dear yeah, I think I should go home to sleep on it
31:20You
31:35Lydia
31:45You're not from here leave my daughter alone
31:50Where do you live
31:53Kakada
31:55But he found me
31:56She found me these people
32:00Americans they took my picture
32:06They sent it to thousands of people it turns out there were raising money
32:12Yeah, you do that a lot in the United States
32:16But it reached Odie
32:19Dorothy Camara, she searched and she found me our hearts connected
32:29My greatest wish was to go to school
32:32To be educated. She said she will help me and other girls like me
32:38She promised
32:40And I believe her I still believe
32:44Is
32:45Dottie here. No, she can only come in dreams. Oh
32:50I'm pretty sure this is a dream. Oh
32:56Well, then
33:13Oh
33:15Oh
33:41Back my money
33:44Dorothy
33:46Dorothy your gold is safe
33:50I'm here to find out what you want to do with it
33:53Give it back to me
33:56Put down the knife this isn't a dream you hurt somebody here they stay hurt
34:02I
34:10This isn't a dream
34:13Something I do
34:16So, what do you want I want my money I
34:23Spoke to Lydia last
34:26She came to me in a dream
34:30She said you found her in Liberia
34:33It was money for her
34:36I was saving for Lydia and 10,000 other girls like her. I
34:44Always kept to myself there's no family no friends
34:51But then I got one of those help an orphan for 23 cents a day things in my mail
34:57And there was a photo of a little girl
35:02If when I looked at that photo
35:06Something happened you connected. Yeah
35:10I'd make a lot of money
35:13And I don't trust banks. So I converted to gold
35:18For over 20 years. I buried it in my backyard
35:23So why didn't you because gold went up?
35:26The price got bigger every day every day. There was more money
35:31Lydia and her friends. I
35:35Was just waiting for that right moment
35:43But that I died
35:50So what now
35:52You have several million dollars of gold rotting in your backyard. I
35:59Think that's what's keeping you here
36:02After I spoke to Lydia I went online I found a couple agencies they're doing really good things in Liberia
36:10Kakata Barclayville Fishtown
36:12They're building schools. They're staffing them. They're making a difference
36:21If you'll agree I'll get your money into their hands make their dreams come true
36:32You
36:34Need to rest
36:38Someday
36:41Finally came
36:45Thank you
36:49Thank you
37:01Yeah, okay, uh, you know what look I gotta go yeah, I'll see you tomorrow
37:09What are you doing here I need to talk to you
37:13My guys can pull those bricks from your house and replace them with anything you want
37:17I got some clean bricks new bricks a premium item just like the old stuff
37:23Just like the old bricks just like 72 hours. They're in we're gone
37:28You could sell your house and the buyers will never know
37:32How much?
37:33on the house
37:35So to speak
37:37Why are you doing this?
37:39at Victor's
37:42Integrity is our cornerstone. We strive to be ethical in art. Why are you doing this?
37:55So
37:56Your guy
37:59He's gonna lose those files right my guy he came by this morning
38:05Somehow he found out about a certain
38:08Maybe just a smidge less than strictly legal
38:12transaction of funds from a certain
38:14Municipal official who awarded a certain contract for a certain paving project. I
38:20Was assured that this could be kept quiet if I fixed your problem
38:27Yeah, sure
38:30So we're done
38:35Victor this this guy did he give you his name? No
38:43Yeah, I just remembered
38:47He gave me a business card business card. Yeah. Oh
38:53Oh
38:55Yeah, this guy said I should tell you not to feel bad about anything
39:06Does that make any sense
39:22I
39:37Luke thanks for calling me back
39:40You're a client. Yeah, but still after the other day I felt bad
39:46That was emotional
