Children of the Corn 7: Revelation

Aah!

Aah!

Where are you?

Keep the change.

Lotsa luck.

Thanks.

Hi.

You guys coming in?

You coming in?

See ya.

Grandma?

Grandma, it's me. It's Jamie.

Grandma?

Not exactly Starbucks, is it?

I'm Detective Armbrister, and they said you were waiting.

Hi. Jamie Lowell.

- And Miss Soames is your... - My grandmother.

I came out from California today, and she's gone.

Please.

- Right here. - Thanks.

Could she be visiting friends?

She doesn't have any.

Do you speak to her often?

Yeah, all the time.

She doesn't have a phone in her room...

so I leave messages at the front desk...

and she calls me back.

Uh, Miss Lowell, here's what we do in missing person cases.

If the person's gone for twenty-four hours...

But she hasn't answered my calls for over a week.

Well, you said she didn't have a phone in her room.

She uses the one in the lobby.

In nine out of ten cases...

people turn up within twenty-four hours.

That's why we have this policy.

I've already been to the hospitals.

She's not there.

Something's wrong.

Look, two months ago, out of the blue...

she sold her house and moved herself into this...

this complete dump...

like, five minutes before it's condemned.

She stopped returning my calls, and now I come out here...

and I find a bible open next to her bed.

You have to understand... she's been a lifelong atheist.

You say the building was condemned?

I found an eviction notice on her door.

So she's out looking for another apartment.

You might want to camp out there till she shows up.

Thanks for the encouraging words.

Aah!

Nice.

Good evening.

Hi.

Hi.

You... you guys live over there, right?

We met today in the elevator.

Remember?

You want to play?

The House of the Dead.

You see, you take the gun, and you point it at the bad guys...

and you pull the trigger.

And the more you kill, the better...

Don't come! Aah!

Have fun.

I don't want to die!

- Strange little kids, huh? - You said it.

I mean, where are their parents?

Why are they out so late at night alone?

I don't know.

They don't say nothing, they don't buy nothing.

- How much? - Five bucks.

OK.

Thank you.

Well, at least they play like normal kids.

They ain't normal.

Sir...

do you recognize this lady?

Her name's Hattie Soames...

and she hasn't been home in a couple of days...

and I'm a little worried.

Sorry, miss.

OK. Thanks anyway.

Kill!

What?

Kill!

Oh. You mean this?

You're welcome.

Hello.

You Jerry?

I'm Jamie Lowell...

the one who's been calling for her grandmother, Hattie Soames.

You told me you were putting my messages...

under her door, remember?

Oh, I don't know where she lives.

I told you... 407.

Don't stress about it.

Uhh.

Eww!

Aah!

Want to tell me what you're up to, hmm?

- I'm looking for my grandmother. - She's not in the basement.

You think she came down here and padlocked the door from outside?

It was already unlocked. I didn't do it.

Keep out.

Out of my way, fuckface!

You, too, bitch!

Don't take it personally, hon. He's like that with everyone.

Oh.

I'm Tiffany.

Hi. I'm, uh, I'm Jamie.

Lunches, night shifts, Fridays and Saturdays.

You should come. It's good. It's called the Fun Club.

It's near the airport.

I mean, all the guys are kind of jerks, but...

I kinda like the cops.

I'm not too big on cops at the moment.

Yeah, well, they are the worst tippers...

but at least they don't grab you when you're table dancing.

Huh. God, it wasn't exactly what I had in mind...

after ten years of classical ballet...

but you gotta do what you gotta do, you know what I mean?

So when did they give you your eviction notice?

Oh, my God. About a week ago.

I stopped paying rent months ago.

Obviously... look at the place.

But instead of fixing it, they evicted us.

Why would my grandmother move into a place...

two months before it's condemned?

I don't know. That is strange.

Were you guys, um... I mean, are you close?

Um, yeah.

Sort of.

She's a very independent person.

Not too communicative, if you know what I mean.

I was hoping we'd get closer after my parents died, but...

Oh, um...

How did they, uh...

A house fire a couple of years ago.

Jeez, that must be rough.

Yeah.

It was.

Look, I should let you get ready for work.

Don't worry about it, hon.

I got a twelve-hour shift ahead of me.

Hey, listen.

I'm really sorry to hear about your grandmother.

If you need anything, you just let me know, OK?

I will. Thanks.

That's really nice of you, Tiffany.

Yeah, well, I'm alone in the world, too.

You'll take me away

Oh, make...

Jerry.

I'm sorry I didn't give your grandmother the messages.

That's OK. I don't think she was here to get them anyway.

Listen, I was just going up to the roof to barbecue.

Been on the roof yet? It's a great view.

- No. - Oh! Fresh picked!

Yeah, I know.

Someone tried to throw some through my window earlier.

Oh, dude.

Come up to the roof. You gotta eat.

Um...

OK, um...

Look, I've got some work to finish up...

but I'll be up in a few minutes?

OK, great!

OK.

God...

Mmm!

Where did you two come from?

Aaaahh!

Jamie: Hi.

Again.

You guys, you shouldn't be up there, you know?

It's not safe.

Where exactly do you guys live?

And when do you live there?

Jerry!

Hey, Jerry, I like the Martha Stewart touch...

on your door.

Jerry?

Jerry, your steak's burning.

Just thought you wanted to know.

Hmm.

"And the sins of the father shall be revisited on the sons. "

Aah!

Where are you?

- This way, Hattie. - I'm coming!

This way.

Coming!

Grandma?

Grandma!

Grandma, is that you?

Wait!

Grandma!

Oh, grandma.

I'm down here. It's me. It's Jamie.

It's Jamie, grandma.
