Messengers 2: The Scarecrow Page #3

Yeah. He's stupid,

and he's easy to manipulate.

Well, yeah.

Right.

Yeah.

Yeah, well,

when he sees these foreclosure signs,

he'll be bending over backwards to sell.

Yeah.

Right. Right.

Tell him to draw up the papers.

I'll have them signed by tomorrow morning.

Right. Okay.

Okay. Yeah.

Sounds good.

No, everything's under control.

Yep.

Hey, I gotta call you back.

- Milton.

- Hey, John.

- You have a minute?

- Yeah, come on in.

I understand George Chapman

paid you a visit yesterday.

- Yeah, that's right.

- Can I ask what you two talked about?

We talked about the money I owe the bank.

Why?

Where were you last night between, say,

He was here with me.

- And you were here all night?

- Yeah.

Yeah, he was here all night.

What is this about, Milton?

- George Chapman is dead.

- He's dead?

- Oh, dear.

- Found him this morning.

You knew he was foreclosing.

Well, he threatened as much yesterday but...

- John.

- I didn't think he'd pull it off.

You didn't see him at all last night?

You can't possibly think

that John had anything to do with it.

Look, don't jump the gun here.

I'm just following procedure.

It's probably an accident anyway.

What do you mean probably?

Hit-and-run, sort of, 18-wheeler.

Driver thought he hit an animal,

kept on rolling.

Didn't realize what he'd done

until he got to Valentine truck stop

and found Chapman wedged

beneath his truck.

Oh, dear Lord.

Yeah, but Valentine's,

that's three hours from here.

What makes you think he came here?

Found his SUV parked on the highway

near a foreclosure sign,

them Calvin Co shoes

he always boasted about in the road.

Figure that's where he was struck.

Well, I'm just following procedure.

I should get back.

- You know where to reach me.

- Yeah.

I wonder how Peggy and the kids are.

I can't even imagine.

Maybe I should fix them something.

Make them a roast or some French bread

and bring it over there.

- John.

- What?

I was just saying, maybe I should

fix something for Peggy and the kids,

- French bread and a roast.

- Why?

- Why? What do you mean, why?

- Why you gotta make them food?

- Well, I don't have to. I want to.

- I don't think they need our food.

He was one of the richest men in town.

I think they're gonna be all right without us.

- You could show a little more compassion.

- Look, I'm sorry.

I'm sorry he's dead.

At least he's not calling in the note

on the farm anymore, will he?

Hello?

This I know

For the Bible tells me so

Good God, man. What's gotten into you?

You lost? What's the matter?

You look like you seen a ghost.

- You believe in ghosts?

- Ghosts?

Are you serious?

You mean, like haunted houses and such?
