00:01:48And that concludes the commercial portion of the Town of Lincoln Real Estate Auction.
00:01:55Settle down, people. Settle down.
00:02:09If you looked at our website, you are aware that there are two single-family homes up for auction in our small town.
00:02:16Now, there are rules that you must agree to if you win one of these homes.
00:02:21All rules will be enforced.
00:02:24I'm going to go over some of the rules before we get to the bidding.
00:02:29First, the buyer must be present.
00:02:33You cannot be a representative for someone else that wants to buy the home.
00:02:46Second, you can only win one house.
00:02:50You cannot purchase both of them.
00:02:52Both of the houses come as-is.
00:02:55They haven't been cleaned or emptied.
00:02:58Whatever is in there, whatever condition it is in, it is yours, including any problems you might find.
00:03:16Third, you cannot use this home as a rental property.
00:03:20You must agree to live in this home and not rent it or list it as a vacation property on a website.
00:03:25You must live in the home you win for more than six months out of the year.
00:03:29If you are going longer than six months, your home will be repossessed by the Town of Lincoln and offered up at auction again.
00:03:37That's not fair.
00:03:39How are you going to even enforce it?
00:03:42I'm the Mayor of Lincoln, son.
00:03:44It's in our bylaws.
00:03:46And it is my duty as Mayor to enforce these rules to the best of my abilities.
00:03:52The Police Chief and the Town Police Department have been enforcing these laws since we started these auctions.
00:04:00Whatever.
00:04:06Fourth, these are cash-only deals without any refunds.
00:04:10You have 72 hours to bring the payment to Town Hall.
00:04:14Otherwise, the deal is null and void and the house will be offered to the next highest bidder.
00:04:20This means that you must pay by Tuesday at 1 p.m.
00:04:36Finally, you are expected to keep this home for two years before you sell it.
00:04:41If you don't, you will not only be hit with the capital gains tax, but you will also owe double that to the Town of Lincoln.
00:04:49Oh, come on, man.
00:04:51Sorry, folks. Those are our rules.
00:05:01I've emailed most of you and explained these rules in the email.
00:05:05If you didn't read through the rules thoroughly, I'm sorry that you've come out here today and wasted your time.
00:05:12Well, this works out just fine.
00:05:16Looks like each of you will be going home with a house today.
00:05:21The first home we have up for auction is 617 Abbey Lane.
00:05:25That's the house on the corner lot.
00:05:27We wanted the other one, though, right?
00:05:29Right.
00:05:30This one's nice, too. Maybe we should bid on it just in case the other couple goes for the one we want.
00:05:34Yeah, good idea.
00:05:36The starting bid for this home is $20,000.
00:05:40The bids will go up in increments of $5,000.
00:05:43Do I have a bid?
00:05:45$20,000.
00:05:46$20,000. Do I have $25,000?
00:05:48$25,000.
00:05:50$25,000. Do I have $30,000?
00:05:53Do I have $30,000?
00:05:55617 Abbey Lane goes to the couple in the aisle.
00:06:01You can make your way out to Lilith in the lobby, and she will help you finish your transaction.
00:06:08The last home we have up for auction is 8 Canterbury Court.
00:06:12If the two of you can pay the opening bid in cash, it's yours.
00:06:19The opening bid for 8 Canterbury Court is $20,000.
00:06:23Sold!
00:06:258 Canterbury Court sold to the pretty blonde.
00:06:28And who I imagine is your husband.
00:06:33Why don't the two of you meet me out in the lobby?
00:06:35You're the last bidder of the night, and I will take care of you myself.
00:06:59They sure cleaned this place up quick, huh?
00:07:01I bet everyone pitched in. It's such a cute little town.
00:07:04Now it's our cute little town.
00:07:08Hey, don't let me interrupt.
00:07:10Mayor Zagan, it's such a pleasure to meet you. I'm Liam Burkhardt, and this is my wife, Brianna.
00:07:14Please, call me Sam. No need for formalities around here.
00:07:17Soon you'll be part of our little community.
00:07:20We are so excited. This is the house we wanted.
00:07:24We are so excited. This is the house we wanted.
00:07:28Really?
00:07:29Yeah, we've been living with Liam's parents since we got married last year.
00:07:33Well, everybody has to start somewhere.
00:07:36This is so perfect. We can't wait to get in.
00:07:40How soon can we get in?
00:07:42Once payment is made, the keys are yours.
00:07:44Oh my gosh, really?
00:07:46Yes, of course.
00:07:48But I'm sure you don't have $20,000 in cash on you.
00:07:52Well, is there a JM Bank in town?
00:07:54No, but there's one less than ten minutes away.
00:07:57I think they close at one on Saturdays.
00:07:59Yeah, I'll put it in my GPS and head right over.
00:08:03Would you mind finishing this deal today?
00:08:05We drove over six hours, so we'd really like to get into the house and figure out what we need to bring when we move in.
00:08:11You two remind me of my parents.
00:08:15How's that?
00:08:16They died when I was a child, but they were so in love.
00:08:21Oh gosh, I'm so sorry.
00:08:23Oh no, I'm sorry. I didn't mean to darken the mood.
00:08:26They died a long time ago.
00:08:30It was meant as a compliment.
00:08:33Well, thank you so much.
00:08:37So, about the house.
00:08:40Yes, I'll be happy to help you with that.
00:08:43When you're done at the bank, meet me in my office.
00:08:4513 Main Street.
00:08:47We'll see you there in half an hour.
00:08:49I have the paperwork ready.
00:09:20I love this place already.
00:09:23I do too.
00:09:25It's the perfect place to settle down.
00:09:27And raise family.
00:09:29Soon enough.
00:09:31The house is so big, Liam.
00:09:34It's so much more than just a starter home.
00:09:36I know.
00:09:37I didn't think we were going to get.
00:09:39Neither did I.
00:09:41Oh, so what? You thought this was just going to be a little weekend away ending in disappointment?
00:09:46No time away with you could end disappointment.
00:09:50I love you.
00:09:51I love you too.
00:10:17You scared me.
00:10:19I know.
00:10:21That wasn't very nice.
00:10:23Where are your parents?
00:10:25Dead.
00:10:27That is not a nice thing to say.
00:10:29It's true.
00:10:32Where are you supposed to be then?
00:10:34With them.
00:10:36It isn't nice to scare people, you know?
00:10:39Especially strangers.
00:10:41She doesn't like you.
00:10:43What?
00:10:44She doesn't like you.
00:10:46Who?
00:10:48The lady in the bathroom.
00:10:50What bathroom?
00:10:52You'll see.
00:10:54Come on, let's find your parents.
00:10:56I know where they are.
00:10:58Okay, where are they?
00:11:00Hell.
00:11:02I'm calling the police. Stay right there, I'll get you some help.
00:11:05Look at you, you're not even wearing shoes.
00:11:08911, what's your emergency?
00:11:10Hi, I'm calling from the JM Bank in Highland.
00:11:13There's a little girl here, she's very disturbed.
00:11:15I think she's homeless.
00:11:17Ma'am, what is your name?
00:11:20Hello? Is anyone there?
00:11:22Yes, I'm sorry, I seem to be mistaken.
00:11:27Are you alright, ma'am?
00:11:29Yeah, I'm fine.
00:11:31I'm sorry, I'm sorry.
00:11:34Are you alright, ma'am?
00:11:36Yeah, I'm so sorry.
00:11:38Um, her parents must have found her.
00:11:41Have a good day.
00:12:04This is the last of the paperwork.
00:12:06Just sign here, saying that you agree to all the rules I explained to you earlier at the auction.
00:12:11Please initial by each one.
00:12:13You must get a lot of people trying to break the rules.
00:12:15You have no idea.
00:12:18I'm sure house flippers try to get away with buying and selling it.
00:12:22They try, but they never succeed.
00:12:27I wouldn't have that problem with you now, would I?
00:12:29No, of course not.
00:12:31This is a dream house for us.
00:12:33We plan on staying here a really long time.
00:12:35That's right.
00:12:36My company is actually transferring me about 20 miles away to our office in Hamilton,
00:12:41so that Bree can get her master's degree.
00:12:43That's wonderful.
00:12:45Have you started already?
00:12:47No, I don't start till the spring, so we can get the house exactly how we want it.
00:12:51What are you getting your master's in?
00:12:53Elementary education.
00:12:54I want to teach kindergarten.
00:12:56We have a wonderful elementary school here in town.
00:12:59When you're ready, I'll put a good word in for you.
00:13:02You mean it?
00:13:03Sure, if you're still here.
00:13:06Why wouldn't we be here? I mean, we love Lincoln.
00:13:09Hey, you never know, right?
00:13:12Well, I know that we just became owners of our very first house.
00:13:20That'll do it.
00:13:22Oh, and don't forget this.
00:13:27Aren't you going to count it?
00:13:29I trust you, Liam.
00:13:31Besides, I know where you live.
00:13:48Congratulations, and welcome to Lincoln.
00:13:51Thank you so much.
00:13:53Really, thank you.
00:13:54You'll find everything you need in your folder.
00:13:56Contact information, utilities, movers, everything you need.
00:14:01Great.
00:14:03And also, if you need anything else, don't hesitate to reach out to me.
00:14:08You know where I am.
00:14:10I also put my business card in there for you.
00:14:12Perfect. Thank you.
00:14:14Let me walk you out.
00:14:23Okay.
00:14:54Home sweet home.
00:14:56Take a picture with me.
00:15:04Man, I can't believe this is all ours.
00:15:07Ready to go in?
00:15:09Go, go, go.
00:15:17Go, go, go.
00:15:21Go, go, go.
00:15:33Oh, wait, wait, wait.
00:15:36What's wrong?
00:15:39It's our first house.
00:15:41And?
00:15:43Well, I have to carry my bride over the threshold.
00:15:46Liam, we've been married for over a year already.
00:15:49I don't care. It's our first house.
00:16:07No electricity.
00:16:14Yeah, I'll call the power company first thing Monday morning.
00:16:17Let's take a look around before it gets dark.
00:16:19Okay.
00:16:35This is so weird.
00:16:37What?
00:16:39The last people who lived here just left all their photos.
00:16:48Huh.
00:16:50Guess they were in a hurry to get out.
00:16:52So many people are just walking away from their homes now.
00:16:56It's so sad.
00:16:58Hey.
00:17:02We have nothing to worry about, okay?
00:17:05My contract at Hamilton is for two years.
00:17:08We have no mortgage, no kids.
00:17:10Yet.
00:17:12Yet?
00:17:14Just this big, beautiful house and nothing but potential in front of us.
00:17:24Do you think we should return them?
00:17:26Return what?
00:17:28The photos. Should we look up who used to live here?
00:17:31I don't know, Bree. I mean, maybe they left everything behind on purpose.
00:17:36Yeah, maybe.
00:17:38Come on. Let's go look at the kitchen.
00:17:50Ew.
00:17:52Ugh.
00:17:54Looks like they were in a real hurry to leave.
00:17:56Ugh.
00:17:58Who knows what kind of situation they were in.
00:18:01Maybe something really bad happened here.
00:18:04I don't know. It's scary.
00:18:07Kind of sad, actually.
00:18:09Well, first item on the list is to completely clean the kitchen.
00:18:13Yes. Agreed.
00:18:15I wish we could start now.
00:18:18Well, once we get the power back on, we'll be able to...
00:18:21Yeah, yeah.
00:18:23Want to check it upstairs?
00:18:25Of course.
00:18:28I can't believe this is all ours.
00:18:31You better believe it. All our dreams are coming true.
00:18:36I never thought we'd have a place like this, ever.
00:18:39Really?
00:18:41Well, I knew we would.
00:18:43Someday.
00:18:45It's all my fault.
00:18:47It's not your fault.
00:18:49It's not your fault.
00:18:51It's not your fault.
00:18:53It's not your fault.
00:18:56It's almost too good to be true.
00:18:59Hey, don't go jinxing it now, all right?
00:19:02We're going to turn this place into a palace.
00:19:05Our palace.
00:19:07Our home.
00:19:11I could really see us living here forever, Liam.
00:19:16Yeah, me too.
00:19:19Come on. Let's check out the bedroom.
00:19:25Whistle.
00:19:43Whistle.
00:19:45Did we know that this was furnished?
00:19:47He said, as is, remember?
00:19:50So, everything in here is ours?
00:19:53I guess.
00:19:55I really don't want to use someone else's furniture, Liam.
00:19:58No, no. Of course not.
00:20:00Definitely not their bedding.
00:20:03Bree, I would never expect you to.
00:20:06But, I mean, it is a bit convenient that we have all this furniture in the house already, don't you think?
00:20:12I don't know. It's more that we have to move out.
00:20:15We could always just sell it later.
00:20:17Oh, I don't know.
00:20:19Why not?
00:20:21I mean, we really could use the money.
00:20:25It's bad luck.
00:20:27Let's start fresh.
00:20:29I never thought we would do anything different.
00:20:32But, Bree, furniture is expensive.
00:20:36And we spent almost every penny we had on this house.
00:20:41Can we just wait, please?
00:20:45Okay.
00:20:48What's wrong?
00:20:50I don't know. It's just weird.
00:20:55Brianna Burkhardt, please tell me you are not getting cold feet about this.
00:20:59I just gave our savings to the mayor for this place.
00:21:02No, of course not. I'm just overwhelmed.
00:21:06It's a lot to take in.
00:21:08I know. But we're in this together, right?
00:21:12Absolutely.
00:21:15Oh, I think that's the master bathroom.
00:21:17Oh, let me see.
00:21:26Ew.
00:21:28I wonder how long this water's been standing here.
00:21:31I hope there isn't an issue with the drain.
00:21:33Let's see.
00:21:39Oh.
00:21:42Oh.
00:21:44Seems to be okay.
00:21:48This place is a disaster. It looks like a hurricane blew through it.
00:21:52But we'll have it cleaned up in no time.
00:21:54Master bathroom is number two on the list.
00:21:56Agreed.
00:21:57As long as we get the bathroom, kitchen, and bedroom done, we can take our time with everything else.
00:22:02And you're sure you still don't want to replace the bedroom furniture right away?
00:22:06Liam, we are getting a new bed. I am not sleeping on someone else's mattress.
00:22:10Okay, okay. I'm just saying it might be nice to use the furniture that we already have in place so that it feels more like a home.
00:22:16But not our home.
00:22:18Of course it is.
00:22:19Not if it's not our furniture. We should pick it out together.
00:22:22We will. Eventually.
00:22:25Promise?
00:22:27I think you promised.
00:22:30We get a new mattress on the first day.
00:22:32Absolutely.
00:22:33Okay. I can live with that.
00:22:36Come on. Let's go see the other rooms.
00:22:40Okay.
00:22:56I can't believe this is all ours.
00:22:59Oh, hey. Post tour picture.
00:23:10Wow.
00:23:31Wow.
00:23:41You're going to hurt yourself.
00:23:44I'm fine.
00:23:45You can make more than one trip back to the car, Liam.
00:23:48Look, I know how badly you want to start cleaning.
00:23:50I've waited three days. One hour longer isn't going to kill me.
00:23:54I just want to do what you want, Brie.
00:23:56What I want is a new mattress to sleep on tonight.
00:23:59Then you'll get it. I promise.
00:24:01I'm not sleeping on someone else's mattress. That's where I draw the line.
00:24:05I know, babe. Okay? I've got a plan.
00:24:08A plan?
00:24:10I don't think I like the sound of that.
00:24:12It's a good plan, okay? Just trust me.
00:24:16It's a surprise.
00:24:18Okay.
00:24:20Look, just go start in the kitchen and I'll bring the rest of our things in, okay?
00:24:24We should have got a moving truck.
00:24:26Why? I mean, this saved us a few hundred dollars.
00:24:29And I mean, we really don't have that much stuff.
00:24:31Just clothes and shoes and...
00:24:35So, we aren't in college anymore.
00:24:37You are.
00:24:38Liam, you know what I mean.
00:24:40I know what you mean. Look, it saved us a little bit of money.
00:24:44I mean, we spent our entire nest egg on this house.
00:24:48As we should have. It's our nest, isn't it?
00:24:51No, when you put it like that...
00:24:53Okay, okay.
00:24:55I'm going to go start cleaning the kitchen.
00:24:57Let me know if you need any help.
00:24:59I will.
00:25:07Electricity works!
00:25:37Breathe.
00:25:50Babe, you need help?
00:25:55Breathe.
00:25:57Liam?
00:26:00Liam.
00:26:02Liam, knock it off.
00:26:06I don't want you to scare me. Can't we at least get...
00:26:10Give me a heart attack.
00:26:17Liam?
00:26:19Bree, can you help me out?
00:26:26Bree!
00:26:28Can somebody open up?
00:26:37Ha ha, very funny.
00:26:39What is?
00:26:40Well, how did you do that?
00:26:41Do what?
00:26:43Get outside so fast.
00:26:44What are you talking about? I haven't even been inside yet. The door was shut.
00:26:47I left it open.
00:26:49It must have swung shut or something.
00:26:51Was the door to the kitchen unlocked?
00:26:54How am I supposed to know?
00:26:55I don't like you jumping out and scaring me like that.
00:26:57Like what? The wind must have closed the door.
00:27:00Okay, Liam. Whatever.
00:27:03Do you need anything else?
00:27:05Bree, calm down, okay?
00:27:08It's our first day in the new house. Let's try and enjoy it.
00:27:12Then don't scare me.
00:27:14Okay, I won't.
00:27:46Okay.
00:28:16Okay.
00:28:46Okay.
00:29:16Okay.
00:29:37Wow.
00:29:39You're making a lot of progress.
00:29:41It's amazing how fast things go when you just throw stuff out.
00:29:45You aren't even keeping the dishes?
00:29:47Not the dirty ones.
00:29:48Why not? We can just clean them.
00:29:50Liam, we've got that china from Aunt Margaret from our wedding.
00:29:53Mom's shipping it with all the other wedding gifts.
00:29:55Oh, that's gonna be expensive.
00:29:58Why can't we just drive back and pick everything up?
00:30:00It'll be the same amount of money and gas.
00:30:02Why are you worrying so much about money?
00:30:04I can't help it, okay?
00:30:06There's not much money left in the bank, so I feel like our safety net's gone.
00:30:10Well, at least you start work next week.
00:30:13But if it's too much for me to go back to school, I can put it off.
00:30:17No, no. Of course not.
00:30:20I'm just being overly cautious, okay?
00:30:23You sure?
00:30:24Absolutely.
00:30:25Hey, come here.
00:30:26No, I'm growing.
00:30:27I don't care.
00:30:31I'm sorry.
00:30:33I'll stop, okay?
00:30:35I'm just really anxious and overwhelmed.
00:30:39I'll stop stressing out about money.
00:30:42Thank you. I appreciate that.
00:30:47That's it? That's all I get?
00:30:49You'll get more tonight, as long as we get that new mattress.
00:30:53On it.
00:31:05Hey, I'll be back. I'm gonna go pick up the mattress.
00:31:09They can't deliver?
00:31:10Sure. If you want to wait seven to ten business days.
00:31:13I'll get my purse.
00:31:14No, no, no. It's okay. I can do it myself.
00:31:16They're just gonna tie it to the roof of the car.
00:31:18Are you sure?
00:31:19Absolutely. I'll be back in less than an hour.
00:31:21Okay, well, I'm almost done with the kitchen. I just gotta clean out the fridge.
00:31:24You need any help?
00:31:25No, I'll be fine.
00:31:27Promise?
00:31:28Pinky promise.
00:31:30You go get that mattress.
00:31:32Yes, ma'am.
00:31:46Liam! I didn't know you came home. I thought you left.
00:31:50I'm leaving.
00:31:51Can you take the trash off for me?
00:31:54Do it yourself.
00:31:56Liam.
00:31:58Liam!
00:32:01Liam! Hey! What is wrong with you?
00:32:31Honey, I'm home!
00:32:40I've always wanted to say that.
00:32:42You picked up lunch? You're the best.
00:32:44Yeah, there's a pizzeria about a mile away.
00:32:46Nice.
00:32:47Hey, let's eat and then we can bring the mattress in.
00:32:49Sounds good.
00:32:56Wow. You did an amazing job.
00:32:59Thank you. It still smells kind of funny.
00:33:03We could just get some candles.
00:33:05I already ordered some. They'll be here tomorrow.
00:33:08Okay, great.
00:33:09I also ordered some groceries.
00:33:12We could have just gone to the store, you know? Check things out.
00:33:16There's too much to do around here, Liam. Don't you want to be comfy on our first night?
00:33:21Hey, I'm comfy wherever you are.
00:33:27That's a nice change.
00:33:28From what?
00:33:29Your attitude from before.
00:33:33What are you talking about?
00:33:36I'm sorry I was nagging you about the new mattress, but you didn't have to be so mean.
00:33:43Marie, I don't even...
00:33:46You know what? Clean slate.
00:33:49Let's eat and get the mattress and then we can start on the upstairs.
00:33:55Perfect.
00:33:57To our new home.
00:33:59Cheers.
00:34:16What do you think?
00:34:17I think it's perfect. Just like you.
00:34:26For what?
00:34:27For cleaning the kitchen.
00:34:29I know it was a lot of work for you to do the entire thing on your own.
00:34:33Believe me, I was happy to.
00:34:35Really?
00:34:36Yes, the kitchen was the worst. I would have gone nuts if it hadn't been done.
00:34:41Now on to the bathroom.
00:34:43I actually started the bathroom.
00:34:45Really? Look at you, Susie Homemaker.
00:34:49Ooh, groceries. Finally.
00:34:51Hey, I tell you what. You go put away the groceries and I'll finish up in the bathroom, okay?
00:34:54Oh, that'd be great.
00:34:56Coming!
00:35:51Mmm. I thought you were putting away the groceries.
00:36:01Oh, hey now. A little old for hickeys, right?
00:36:12Bree, seriously, come on. I can't go into work with marks on my neck.
00:36:31Bree?
00:36:32Yeah?
00:36:35Yeah?
00:36:36You okay? Do you need anything?
00:36:38I'm fine.
00:36:41Done with the bathroom yet?
00:36:43Right, the bathroom. Almost!
00:36:52Oh, come on.
00:36:54Hey, I thought you said you started on the bathroom!
00:36:57What?
00:37:00Nothing!
00:37:30Liam!
00:37:43I have a surprise for you.
00:37:45Really? A surprise?
00:37:47Yes. Keep your eyes closed, okay?
00:37:49Okay.
00:38:04Liam?
00:38:05In here.
00:38:18Liam?
00:38:47Liam?
00:39:08I'm not done yet, babe.
00:39:12Just ten more minutes.
00:39:26Bree?
00:39:31Bree?
00:39:33Yeah, I said ten more minutes.
00:39:36That long?
00:39:38I'll make the wait worth your while.
00:40:08Bree?
00:40:29You okay in there?
00:40:35Bree?
00:40:49Bree?
00:40:54Bree?
00:40:57I can understand why you're upset, Mr. Burkhard.
00:41:00But I don't know how I can help you, though.
00:41:04I agree.
00:41:08Maybe she fell asleep and had a nightmare in the bath.
00:41:12It is a logical explanation.
00:41:17If you want me to send someone in the morning, I'd be happy to.
00:41:23Are you sure?
00:41:27Well, if you change your mind, I'll make a call.
00:41:33You too.
00:41:40Everything okay?
00:41:41Perfect.
00:41:43Right on schedule.
00:41:45No, whatever I mean.
00:42:00Ooh, look at you.
00:42:02Do I look okay?
00:42:03You look more than okay.
00:42:05You look like a CEO.
00:42:07Well, I'm not there.
00:42:09Yet.
00:42:13You sure you're going to be okay here all by yourself today?
00:42:15Of course.
00:42:19You're not still hung up on finding the former owners, are you?
00:42:22I just want to make sure they don't want their pictures back.
00:42:25Pictures are priceless.
00:42:27You've got such a big heart, Bree.
00:42:31I just know I would want them to send my pictures back, you know?
00:42:34Yeah, yeah.
00:42:35I get it.
00:42:39Have a great day at work, honey.
00:42:42I love you so much.
00:42:44I love you too.
00:43:08I love you too.
00:43:39I love you too.
00:44:02We're sorry.
00:44:05You have reached a number that has been disconnected or is no longer in service.
00:44:09If you feel you have reached this recording and...
00:44:19We're sorry. You have reached a number that has been disconnected or is no longer in service.
00:44:25If you feel you...
00:44:35Hello?
00:44:41Hi there. My name is Brianna Burkhart. I'm trying to get in touch with Doris Yanito.
00:44:47I'm sorry. Who is this?
00:44:51Brianna Burkhart. I bought Doris' old house on Canterbury Court.
00:44:56How did you get this number?
00:44:58From an emergency contact form. I was calling to see if she wanted to pick up all her belongings.
00:45:04No. I'm sorry. You wasted your time.
00:45:09I don't mind sending them to her.
00:45:11Well, that would be a little difficult, seeing as she died six months ago.
00:45:16Oh, I'm so sorry. Do you want me to send everything to you?
00:45:21No, thank you. We're still grappling with her suicide. You can just throw everything out.
00:45:28Even the pictures?
00:45:31Especially the pictures.
00:45:34I'm so sorry. Did you say suicide?
00:45:39Sadly, yes. It was less than a month after she bought the house.
00:45:44Did you do any research on the house before you bought it?
00:45:48Well, no. We won it at an auction.
00:45:52So did she. Good luck with your home. I hope you have better luck than she did.
00:45:58Thank you. I'm so sorry for your loss.
00:46:29Hey, babe. How was your day?
00:46:33Much better now that I'm home with my wife.
00:46:36Oh, no. That bad?
00:46:38No, no. Not at all. I just enjoyed this past week of spending time with you and getting the house together.
00:46:45I was just thinking about you all day.
00:46:48Oh, that's sweet. Go wash up. Dinner's almost ready.
00:46:58Thanks.
00:47:09Yeah. Everyone's really nice.
00:47:13I need some pictures from my office, though. It's really bare.
00:47:17You can use the pictures I didn't hang up in the hallway.
00:47:20Oh, I meant to tell you how good it looks.
00:47:24What'd you do with the rest of the pictures?
00:47:27I took them out.
00:47:29Really?
00:47:30Yeah. Why?
00:47:32I thought you were going to try and look up the former owners.
00:47:35I did.
00:47:37Really? How?
00:47:39Well, I went and got the mail and I was able to figure out the password to the computer.
00:47:43Get out! That's fantastic!
00:47:46I guess.
00:47:47You guess? You have a new desktop computer!
00:47:51I'll just wipe it and get you all set up for your classes.
00:47:54She wanted everything back.
00:47:56Actually, she's dead.
00:48:03Dead?
00:48:05Yeah. I spoke with her sister. She killed herself.
00:48:11Here?
00:48:12I don't know. I searched online. I couldn't find any info.
00:48:20Isn't that something they should have disclosed?
00:48:22I think they should have, but there's nothing they can do now. No refunds, right?
00:48:28Yeah, you're right.
00:48:34She's not the only one that committed suicide here.
00:48:37What?
00:48:38Here, look.
00:48:39What's this?
00:48:41Something I found.
00:48:44Murder, suicide, 1980.
00:48:47Yes. It took place in our house.
00:48:51A woman came home and found her husband cheating and killed him and his mistress.
00:49:00Their ten-year-old son came home from school and found their bodies.
00:49:04Wow, that's dark.
00:49:06You have no idea. The kid was adopted and went straight back into the system.
00:49:12I wonder what happened to him.
00:49:14I don't know. Apparently his mom stole 80 grand from her job to start their life over with, but killed herself instead.
00:49:22Wow.
00:49:24Yeah.
00:49:28You don't think we should move, do you?
00:49:30And lose our life savings? No way.
00:49:34Maybe we should talk to Sam.
00:49:36What good would it do?
00:49:38It makes sense to keep it and at least make some money off it while we live here.
00:49:43But we can save enough money before we list it.
00:49:46You know, in case other people do their homework better than we did.
00:49:51Yeah. Good idea.
00:50:00You still want new furniture?
00:50:01Liam! Of course.
00:50:03Okay, okay.
00:50:06But I can keep the computer.
00:50:13Okay.
00:50:36Liam! What are you doing?
00:50:39You ruined everything.
00:50:41What? Are you okay?
00:50:45You spend my money. You leech off of me.
00:50:50You don't deserve me.
00:50:53Liam, stop it. What has gotten into you?
00:50:57I hate you.
00:50:59I wish you were dead.
00:51:05Who are you talking to?
00:51:12Liam?
00:51:17What happened to all these glasses?
00:51:20You threw them at me.
00:51:22What?
00:51:23You were standing right there and you threw them at me.
00:51:27Babe, I was upstairs working on the computer in the office like I said.
00:51:34You said you hated me.
00:51:36You said you wished I was dead.
00:51:39Bri, I would never say anything like that to you.
00:51:44Come here. I love you.
00:51:46You were standing right there, Liam.
00:51:48You said those things. You threw those glasses.
00:51:52Brianna, I would never ever say or do anything to hurt you like that. Ever.
00:51:59You're my wife.
00:52:01My life.
00:52:04I love you so much.
00:52:07Listen, I don't know what happened, okay?
00:52:10I was upstairs and then I heard you talking and then crashing and then I came downstairs.
00:52:17It wasn't me, okay?
00:52:20Promise?
00:52:22Pinky promise.
00:52:26Okay.
00:52:37Hey, maybe this house was so cheap because it was haunted.
00:52:39Don't you say that.
00:52:41Okay, okay.
00:52:43Help me clean up the kitchen, will you?
00:52:45Of course.
00:53:06I love you.
00:53:36Liam.
00:53:41Liam.
00:53:49Liam.
00:53:53Bri?
00:54:06Bri?
00:54:13Bri!
00:54:36Bri!
00:55:06Bri!
00:55:31Bri!
00:55:33Bri!
00:55:36Bri!
00:56:06Bri!
00:56:36Bri!
00:57:06Bri!
00:57:37Bri?
00:57:41Bri!
00:57:47Bri.
00:57:49Bri.
00:57:51Did you see a cushion by the bed?
00:57:54Good morning to you, too.
00:57:56The cushion. Where is it?
00:57:58Wow, I didn't know you had a sentimental attachment to a cushion.
00:58:01Stop kidding around, okay? Where is the cushion?
00:58:04I threw it out. It was filthy.
00:58:06What?
00:58:07It's in the trash outside.
00:58:08No, no, no!
00:58:10Liam!
00:58:35Liam.
00:58:48Liam, what has gotten into you?
00:58:50Nothing.
00:58:51Why are you so angry?
00:58:53Just don't touch my stuff, Bri, okay?
00:58:55Your stuff?
00:58:57It's an old, dirty pillow that I've never seen before.
00:58:59I thought it was trash.
00:59:01Next time, ask before you throw something out.
00:59:03We have to get rid of everything.
00:59:05Why do we have to get rid of everything right away?
00:59:08Why can't you just be happy with everything that we have here?
00:59:10Liam!
00:59:12I just don't understand why we can't take advantage of everything that we have here
00:59:16until we have enough money in the bank to replace it all.
00:59:18I said we could!
00:59:20But you're pressuring me!
00:59:26I am?
00:59:27Yes!
00:59:29You drop hints and you mention and you nag every single thing about at least one thing and...
00:59:39I'm doing the best I can, okay?
00:59:43I'm sorry. I didn't realize I was putting that much pressure on you.
00:59:46Well, you are.
00:59:48Okay, I'm sorry. I won't anymore.
00:59:59You're welcome.
01:00:17Hey, I'm going out. I'll be back in an hour.
01:00:19Where are you going?
01:00:22To Ron and Erin.
01:00:24Want me to come with you?
01:00:26I'm almost done baking your favorite cake.
01:00:29Black Forest?
01:00:30Of course.
01:00:34No, that's okay. You stay here. I'll be quick.
01:00:36Where are you going?
01:00:38To town.
01:00:40With your cushion?
01:00:42Yeah.
01:00:44Should I be jealous?
01:00:46This cushion is going to change our lives.
01:00:52It's a cushion, Liam.
01:00:56Is there something inside? Let me see.
01:00:58I'll give you everything as soon as I get back, okay?
01:01:01Okay.
01:01:03Why don't you pick up a bottle of white wine on your way home?
01:01:06It'll make us a nice dinner.
01:01:08Yeah, sure. Okay.
01:01:11I'm really sorry that I didn't talk to you before I threw it out.
01:01:15I had a really bad dream last night and I couldn't sleep.
01:01:19I just started cleaning.
01:01:21You should have woken me up.
01:01:23No. I was too embarrassed.
01:01:26Why?
01:01:28Because I was sleepwalking and I woke up in the bathtub in my pajamas.
01:01:33You can always wake me up, Rhi.
01:01:36Especially if you're having a nightmare.
01:01:39You're always safe with me.
01:01:42I know, but...
01:01:44No buts, okay?
01:01:49I'm always here for you.
01:01:52Can I get you a coffee?
01:01:54No. It's too late for coffee.
01:01:57Besides, I need to get to the bank before it closes at one.
01:02:00You better hurry then.
01:02:02Yeah.
01:02:04You shouldn't have let me sleep so late.
01:02:06You were tired. You needed it.
01:02:08I'll be back.
01:02:10I love you!
01:02:24I love you too.
01:02:54Oh, Liam. That was fast.
01:03:09Did you take care of everything?
01:03:13Are you still mad at me?
01:03:16For making chicken pot pie for dinner?
01:03:20What are you doing?
01:03:22I never loved you.
01:03:24What are you talking about?
01:03:26I hate you.
01:03:28Liam, put the knife down.
01:03:32I'm better off without you!
01:03:34Liam! Stop!
01:03:35You deserve to die!
01:03:46Breathe.
01:03:53Breathe.
01:04:01Breathe.
01:04:07Breathe.
01:04:13Breathe!
01:04:22Breathe.
01:04:25Breathe!
01:04:29Hello?
01:04:35Brianna!
01:04:40Go away!
01:04:47Breathe.
01:04:49Bri, are you okay? Are you in there?
01:04:51I'm calling the police!
01:04:53Brianna, open up! What happened? Are you alright?
01:04:58Leave me alone, Liam! You're scaring me!
01:05:00Did someone break in?
01:05:02Stop it!
01:05:04Stop what, Bri? Come on out!
01:05:06Put the knife down!
01:05:08What knife? I'm holding a bottle of wine like you asked!
01:05:13What's going on?
01:05:32What happened? Are you hurt?
01:05:35What?
01:05:37Are you hurt?
01:05:39No, you didn't get me.
01:05:41I didn't get you? What are you talking about? Who did this?
01:05:45You did!
01:05:47I literally just came home.
01:05:51You did?
01:05:53Bri, you're scaring me, okay?
01:05:56Do you need to go to the hospital?
01:05:57No, I don't think so.
01:06:00Hey, hey, hey.
01:06:02What happened?
01:06:06I was cooking.
01:06:08And?
01:06:10Someone came in and tried to stab me.
01:06:13Bri, I would never do that.
01:06:18But you did.
01:06:21Bri, I went to the bank and the liquor store and then I came right home.
01:06:27You did?
01:06:29Hey, come here, come here, come here. Sit down, sit down.
01:06:32Hey, hey.
01:06:37I think I'm going crazy.
01:06:39Hey, maybe you should see someone.
01:06:42Maybe.
01:06:46I'll see what's covered on our insurance.
01:06:49Okay.
01:06:51Listen, why don't you go lie down and I'll clean up down here.
01:06:56Yeah, okay, okay.
01:06:58I'm going to lie down.
01:07:00You want me to help you upstairs?
01:07:02No, I'm okay.
01:07:04I'm going to lie down.
01:07:09I'll come up after I clean.
01:07:39Bri.
01:08:09Bri.
01:08:33Bri, Bri.
01:08:36Hey, hey.
01:08:38I got to get out of here.
01:08:39What? Where do you want to go?
01:08:40I don't care. Anywhere. Away, far away.
01:08:43Listen, Bri, you've been locked up in this house for two weeks.
01:08:47Of course you're seeing things.
01:08:49I'm not seeing things. She was there.
01:08:52Who?
01:08:53The woman.
01:08:55What woman?
01:08:57You didn't see her?
01:09:00All right, Bri, you're scaring me. Do I need to take you to the hospital?
01:09:04Are they going to lock me up?
01:09:06Of course not.
01:09:08They lock up crazy people.
01:09:10You're not crazy. Look, you're tired, you're stressed, you're overworked.
01:09:16And me being gone all day and you being cooped up in this house doesn't help, I'm sure.
01:09:21I guess.
01:09:23Here's what we're going to do, all right?
01:09:26Let's go out tonight.
01:09:28Maybe shopping?
01:09:30We can get a new bedroom set or a living room set or both.
01:09:35We can pick out whatever you want, okay?
01:09:38Then we'll go to dinner and then come home.
01:09:41Oh no, the cake.
01:09:42I got it out of the oven already.
01:09:45This night is about making you feel relaxed, okay?
01:09:49Okay, maybe you're right.
01:09:52I love you so much, Brianna.
01:09:56You're going to be okay.
01:09:59And if I'm not?
01:10:04In sickness and in health, remember?
01:10:07I'm not going anywhere, okay?
01:10:15Come on.
01:10:33Come on.
01:11:03Come on.
01:11:20Bri!
01:11:22I thought I told you to stay in there.
01:11:26Are you feeling okay?
01:11:33I'm okay.
01:11:44I just got into you.
01:11:48Ah!
01:11:59Liam, are you okay?
01:12:02Yeah.
01:12:07Have you been in there the whole time?
01:12:09Of course.
01:12:13Okay.
01:12:17Almost done.
01:12:42You okay?
01:12:44Yeah, I think so.
01:12:47You ready to go up?
01:12:49Yeah.
01:12:51Come on.
01:13:12Come on.
01:13:42Come on.
01:14:12Liam!
01:14:36Liam! Stop!
01:14:38Let go! You're hurting me!
01:14:41Let me go!
01:14:43Bri!
01:14:46Bri!
01:14:48Bri, talk to me!
01:14:50Where are you?
01:14:59Bri!
01:15:02Come on, let's talk!
01:15:04I'm so sorry! I didn't mean it!
01:15:09Bri!
01:15:12Bri!
01:15:14Please, Bri!
01:15:26Ah!
01:15:30Bri!
01:15:33Where are you?
01:15:35What is happening?
01:15:39Brianna!
01:15:41Liam, let me out!
01:15:59Bri!
01:16:00Let me out! Let me out!
01:16:02What is happening?
01:16:04We have to get out of here.
01:16:06Don't listen to him, Bri.
01:16:09Liam?
01:16:10Bri?
01:16:12That is not me.
01:16:15Bri, that's not me.
01:16:17What is happening?
01:16:19Bri, stop!
01:16:21Come here.
01:16:23That is not me.
01:16:28That's me, Bri.
01:16:31Brianna, we need to leave here now.
01:16:34Where are we going?
01:16:35Home.
01:16:37We are home.
01:16:39This is our home.
01:16:41Home to Cincinnati.
01:16:43But our house...
01:16:45This is our nest, remember?
01:16:48Our nest...
01:16:49Bri, please!
01:16:50But our things...
01:16:52They're only things.
01:16:54Our things, Bri.
01:16:56Don't listen to him.
01:16:58That's not me.
01:17:01My Liam would never walk away from this house.
01:17:04That's right, Bri.
01:17:06Come to me.
01:17:08Don't do it, Bri.
01:17:11You're not Liam.
01:17:13Yes, I am.
01:17:16I love you.
01:17:18I love you, Bri.
01:17:20Bri!
01:17:22That's right.
01:17:24Come to me.
01:17:26Bri!
01:17:28It's me.
01:17:32Pinky promise.
01:17:55Let me go!
01:17:56Let me go!
01:17:57What is happening?
01:17:58Bri, wait.
01:17:59Look at me.
01:18:00We have to leave now.
01:18:01Okay?
01:18:02For good.
01:18:03Come on.
01:18:04Come on.
01:18:05Liam...
01:18:06Liam...
01:18:37Now, there are some rules that you must agree to if you win one of these homes.
01:18:42All the rules will be enforced.
01:18:45I'm going to briefly go over some of the rules before we get started on the bidding.
01:18:49First, the buyer must be present.
01:18:53You cannot be representative for someone else who wants to buy the home.
01:19:06Second, you can only win one house.
01:19:10You cannot purchase both of them.
01:19:12Both of the houses come as is.
01:19:15They haven't been cleaned or emptied.
01:19:17Whatever is in there, whatever condition it is in, it is yours.
01:19:23Including any problems you might find.
01:20:36Okay.
01:21:06Okay.
01:21:36Okay.
01:21:38Okay.
01:22:07Okay.
01:22:09Okay.
01:22:36Okay.
01:22:39Okay.
01:22:42Okay.
01:22:45Okay.
01:22:48Okay.
01:22:51Okay.
01:22:54Okay.
01:22:57Okay.
01:23:00Okay.
01:23:03Okay.
