Messengers 2: The Scarecrow Page #4

Like fields, corn fields.

Well, I don't reckon

I've ever heard of no haunted corn field.

Now, what exactly did you see, anyway?

It's not what I saw. It's what I heard.

I heard screams,

and I heard a little girl singing, chanting.

Is that all?

I've heard me some voices plenty of times.

A man works in his field, gets tired...

Listen, that's not fatigue. It's...

I heard voices.

Okay, okay. Calm down.

And this.

Belonged to a man that was killed yesterday.

- George Chapman? That's his watch?

- Yeah. You know him?

You sure that's his?

There's a lot of fancy watches in the world.

Not out here. He was here visiting yesterday.

Well, there's your answer, then.

He must have lost it out there is all.

What about the voices?

John, you done found the silver lining.

Stop focusing on the cloud.

If it was me, I'd take that watch

and find me the nearest pawn shop.

No, my wife's gonna make me

give it back to his family.

Well, then we can see

who wears the pants in your house.

I tell my wife everything, Mr. Weatherby.

It's Jude. And suit yourself.

You know, she's probably right.

I'm sure that Chapman's millionaire widow

needs that watch more than you do.

You planted the seeds, John.

A smart man would consider it good fortune

or karma or whatever you want.

Pawn the watch, John.

Buy that wife of yours a dozen roses

or that daughter of yours a new dress.

You deserve it. We all do.

You mind telling your son

to stop playing on the tractor?

Why? He can drive it just fine.

I don't want him driving it at all.

And where are you going?

I need you to get rid of the throw rug

in the living room.

Call Tommy.

Throw it in the barn with the rest of the junk.

No, I can't sell it. It's filthy.

I need you to throw it out.

Well, you wear the pants in the family.

You decide.

Hey, Randy.

Mr. Rollins, please don't make this harder

than it has to be.

Right.

How much do I owe you?

- You're not gonna take a guess?

- Yeah, sure.

- That's right.

- Really?

Hey, everybody.

Mr. Rollins here just guessed it right.

Thank you for coming.

I don't know what to do. He's changed.

He stopped going to church.

He started cursing. He started drinking.

The way he reacted to Chapman's death

today, it was so cold.

Mary, Chapman was about to toss you all

to the curb.

I mean, I can't say for sure,

but I probably would have reacted

the same way he did.

No.

No, I don't think you would have.

You should have heard

the way he talked to me today.

The man that I married

never would talk to me that way.

- Have you tried counseling?

- No.

John would never even consider that.

It's just not his thing.

You deserve better.
