Behrani speaks with his lawyer about Lester’s visit and is not surprised to hear that the visit was unlawful. He drives to the San Mateo Sheriff’s Office to speak with an internal affairs officer. Due to a distinctive Field Training Officer badge that Lester wears, Behrani can quickly point out his picture.

As he drives home Behrani ponders how he feel more relaxed in the presence of disciplined men, which reminds him of his time in the military. He briefly entertains the idea of a job in law enforcement. His thoughts quickly turn back to a need to protect his family and ensure the sale of the house. He imagines a future in which General Pourat, who was killed in the revolution, comes back to life and joins him in celebrating the marriage of his children and the growth of his family. As he eats lunch in a mall food court he snaps back to reality, recalling his friend’s grisly death and his need to buy carpenter’s glue to mend the broken table and restore order to his family.

Kathy arrives at the house and is relieved not to see Behrani’s car. Nadi answers the door and invites her in. Kathy explains that she used to own the house but was evicted by mistake.
