All Through the House Page #3

I don't know.

What would she be hiding?

[Cell phone ringing]

- [Abby] Hello?

- [Rachel] Grandma?

I need to ask you something,

and please be honest with me.

Well, of course, honey.

Did you know that my mother

and Mrs. Garrett

worked together?

Were they friends?

Why are you asking me that?

Just tell me.

Rachel,

[Abby] Let's have this

conversation later.

Where are you?

- Please...

- [Phone beeps]

[Music playing]

- Rah!

- Ah!

Come here.

Whoa.

When you said Mrs. Garrett was

lonely, you weren't kidding.

Oh, what's her deal?

Well, she's certainly

not a people person.

[Sighs] Maybe they

make her feel safe.

Is that her?

Oh, god, it is.

Cover him back up.

This is getting

more twisted by the second.

I...

Look at that.

What the f***'s in there?

[Both]

Oh!

Forget about that.

The question is,

what's in there?

We need to find that key.

Come on, f***er.

Oh!

- [Door clanging]

- [Gasps]

- [Cat yowls]

- F***!

Goddamn cat.

[Screaming]

What the f*** are you doing?

[Screaming]

- [Grunts]

- [Screams]

[Grunts]

[Screaming]

Let me go, you cocksucker!

Oh, god, no!

No, no, please don't!

Please don't!

Ah, no, no, please don't!

Oh, sh*t!

[Screaming]

[Screams]

[Telephone ringing]

[Answering machine]

Hi, you've reached Abby.

Please leave your name and

number and a brief message

and I'll get back to you

just as soon as I can.

[Machine beeps]

Grandma, are you there?

Please pick up.

I'm sorry I hung up on you.

I really need to talk to you.

I am at

Mrs. Garrett's house,

and...

And something really

strange is going on.

[Cat meows]

[Screeching, crunching]

I'm gonna go check on her.

- Let me change.

- No.

- Wait here.

- No.

Look, Sarah's

gonna be back any second,

and she will freak out

if we're both gone.

Okay, but I just need

a picture of me in this dress.

So hurry back.

[Cricket chirping]

Come all ye faithful

joyful and triumphant

oh, come ye

oh, come ye

to Bethlehem

come...

grandma?

All right, b*tches.

I'm coming for you.

[Dog barking in distance]

[Cat yowls]

[Muffled scream]

Ugh!

[Whimpers]

[Grunts]

[Grunts]

Leave me...

No, no, please.

[Screaming]

Ahh! Oh, my god!

Oh, my god!

[Telephone ringing]

[Ringing]

Hello?

Hey, Rachel,

I'm glad you answered.

Cody, I don't have time

to talk right now.

I'm kind of in the

middle of something.

- I see.

- It's nothing like that.

Are you okay?

Nothing is okay.

I can't trust anyone.

You can trust me.

I found these letters...

Romantic letters that

were written to my mother

a long time ago.

Apparently, my mom

was having an affair

with a married man.

So, you think

she ran off with him.

I didn't get that

from the letters.

Who was you mom

having an affair with?

My mom was having an affair

with Mrs. Garrett's

husband.

[Dog barking]

Sarah?

[Clock ticking]

Thanks for all the cheap

chilled wine, Sarah.

Fine.

I'll drink it by myself.

Sarah?

S-Sarah?

Sarah?

[Choking]

[Door opens]

Gia?

Sarah?

[Door closes]

Why are the lights out?

Gia?

Sarah?

Come on, you guys.

[Cell phone ringing]

[Cell phone ringing]

I don't know

what's going on here.

I can't find

Gia and Sarah anywhere.

Hold on.

Slow down.

Okay, I need

to tell you something.

I just found

Gia's cell phone upstairs.

She never goes

anywhere without it.

And not only that,

but the key is here.

I'm sure it's the key

that we were looking for.

Listen to me.

I looked up Mitchell

Garrett on the Internet.

What?

You know,

Mr. Garrett?

The man your mother was boning?

What... what did you

find out?

There isn't a lot of

information except that...

He didn't

just leave Mrs. Garrett.

It says in the early '90s,

he was sent

to ironwoods state prison.

That's not very far from us.

Is he still there?

There's not much about him,

but from the looks of it,

he's been there

for about 15 years.

15 years?

[Rachel] That's about the

time that Jamie went missing.

There was a police car

outside Mrs. Garrett's house

earlier this evening.

Rachel, you gotta

get out of that house.

[Cody's voice breaking up]

You're breaking up.

Do you hear me?

Rachel, are you there?

Cody!

[Door creaking]

[Knocking]

Ahh!

I'm not going to hurt you.

[Breakers clicking]

Who, who turned on the lights?

Jaime has finally come home

for the holidays.

That's impossible.

Who's upstairs?

[Gasps]

I told you.

Jaime.

Are you okay, dear?

You look sick.

No!

You don't even know

what happened to Jaime.

Jaime was five years old

when my husband found out

the truth about her.

He was so disgusted

what he found out what Jaime was

that he tried to kill her.

But I called the police

just in time.

You see, Jaime was born...

[Inhales, exhales]

A boy.

I was expecting

a lovely little girl.

So, you can imagine my surprise

when I gave birth

to a beautiful...

Manipulating, perverted...

Womanizing man!

When I came home

from the hospital,

I brought Jaime down here.

And...

Fixed the little problem.

It was easy

as removing a nasty wart.

When my husband was arrested,

I was able to convince everyone

that he was responsible

for the mutilation.

But poor Jamie

was still taken from me

and put in a mental hospital.

And that's where she's been

her whole life...

Until now.

She's come home.

And she wants me to fix her.

[Exhales]

Oh, my god.

Ah.

[Inhales, exhales]

You had some of my special

holiday eggnog.

I told you no one makes it

quite like me.

oh...

[Laughing]

Ha.

Oh, mommy...

[Sighs]

I missed you so much.

Mom.

I right here, baby.

[Inhales, exhales]

No, no, no, no, no!

- Ooh!

- You're not my mom!

Leave me alone!

[Screaming]

Oh, my god!

[Crying]

- Mm.

- Wha... wha...

What did you do to my mother?

Where is my mother?

You poor, poor dear.

Your mother was a filthy whore.

She tried to take my husband...

And so I buried the b*tch

out back in my garden.

[Chuckles]

[Gasps]

[Labored breathing]

[Grunts]

[Cries out]

[Muffled screams]

[Muffled screams]

[Grunts]

Rachel.

Come on. I'm gonna

get you out of here.

Don't worry. I knocked

that f***er out cold.

[Muffled scream]

Cody, hurry.

Cody, hurry.

He's coming.

Cody, hurry!

Look out! Look out!

Look out!

- Ugh!

- [Grunting]

[Whimpering]

No, no, no.

- [Bones snap]

- Ah! Ahh! Ah!

Cody?

[Grunts]

Cody!

Cody, come on.

We gotta get out of here.

- Now.

- I can't run.

I can't run.

It's my leg.

Look, let me help you.

[Straining]

Ah.

[Labored breathing]

Cody, I'm gonna

hide you in here.

You do not make a sound.

- [Groaning]

- Shh! Shh!

Don't worry.

I won't leave you this time.

I promise.

Okay.

[Groaning]

[Door closes]
