Abattoir Page #2

Not to mention appraisal,

inspection, title, hud-1 form.

It's just not possible.

Right. A real estate journalist.

Something doesn't feel right.

Huh?

Ls somebody in the house?

It sounds like

it's coming from Charlie's room.

Grady?

Oh, you've gotta be kidding me.

Goddammit.

Ok, ok. I know I owe you a call.

Who the f*** buys a house, and cuts

the entire crime scene out of it?

How is that legal?

How do you close escrow in five days?

Give me the buyer.

Give me the information, Kyle.

Or I will have consumer affairs

so far up your ass,

they'll be brushing your teeth.

A po box in town?

You need to start talking.

Charlie's room is ripped

out of the goddamn house.

You coming in here

talking about rooms being taken,

that's like saying MacBeth

to a Broadway actor.

You're gonna tell me a fairytale?

"Once upon a time"?

Realtors are glengarry guys.

You don't have myths.

Right when I started,

i caught this lead.

Some high rise downtown.

Only hitch was

that it was slightly infamous.

Seems some husband went sideways

on his wife with a kitchen implement.

Ohh!

It was a crime scene?

Oh, he made it one,

that's for damn sure.

Unsellable, right?

Two days later I'm closing escrow

with a guy old enough

to be my great-great-grandfather.

Less than a week later,

the old guy, he flips for a loss.

- One renovation.

- The kill room is ripped out.

Whole f***ing room, gone.

Now, you tell this tale,

you hear two more just like it.

And the end of this fairytale

is always the same.

Never heard from the buyer again.

I'd like to keep it that way.

Found this in the closing papers.

That's all I got.

Now wherever this leads,

make sure it's away from my office.

Alright, you got the city records.

I did you a title search.

12 hits on revelation holdings

over seven states.

Your bus-bench huckster was right.

Half a dozen properties bought and sold

by revelation over a 50-year span.

And each one purchased...

After a tragic event

occurred in the house.

All of the homes did some sort of

remodeling after the crime took place.

- And the rooms?

- Taken.

So what's the explanation?

When I moved in,

i didn't even have a roof over my head.

- Why? What used to be up there?

- Vaulted ceiling being reinforced.

Antique chandelier.

- I started hearing noises.

- What kind of noises?

It was in the hallway

across from the master bedroom.

There was an energy.

Family moved in late-'87, early-'88.

Wasn't till three years later

that the tenants did the math.

Points out the obvious.

To hear the neighbors tell it, it was

a speakeasy, a brothel, a drug house,

and who knows what else.

If something could be done

to offend heaven, it was done here.
