Thank you for the quad long shot

to the Quincy house.

‐ Okay.

‐ Look, I am sorry
about yesterday.

We are dealing with things
that, well...

you just don't
understand them.

Hell, I don't
understand them!

But I know them.

‐ So, how about sharing what you
know and being open and honest

instead of expecting me to check
with you every time I need to

wipe my...

luxurious granite countertops?

‐ Point taken. Come on.

In the spirit of
candor and transparency,

I should let you know that the
Quincys fired us last night.

‐ Oh.
‐ I did tell you

this would happen.

‐ Can I ask why
we're going back there?

‐ A little boy is in danger.

‐ You mean a
little girl, right?

‐ There is an entity
we call an LRG.

‐ Which stands for...?

‐ Little Red's Granny.

It's a particularly nasty demon
that assumes a friendly,

nonthreatening form
in order to seduce its victim.

And consume him.

Eat his life.

‐ God.

Well, what can we do?

‐ August built a device
that could destroy it

on the atomic level,
but I need to trigger it

when the LRG is stressed,

angry and distracted
and assumes its true form.

‐ So what am I
supposed to do?

You need to talk to
the parents.

‐ Absolutely not!

What part of "you're fired"
do you people not get?

‐ Yeah. I can't waste
any more time.

‐ Well, where do
you think you're going?

‐ That's it‐‐
I'm calling the cops!

‐ Please! Let me explain.

‐ What's he doing
up there? Jamie!

‐ Listen!

I know you think my boss
is an incredible flake.

I agree!

He's a flake and‐and
nothing he says is,

on the surface,
credible.

We agree!
Common ground!

And I know you don't
believe in these things

and, you know what?
I don't believe in them either.

We are wearing
the same jersey!

But you need
to understand:

Luke gets results.

And I don't just mean
he sells houses ‐‐

sure, he does, but he does it by
fixing the stuff that's wrong.

And in your case, that means
getting rid of the thing

that lured your little boy
up on a roof.

Luke is a good guy.

Give him a chance.
