[Knocks heavily]
[Metallic thud]
Is anyone there?
Hello?
[Car alarm wails]
[Radio jingle] Eddy, he gives a voice to your words.
[Eddy] It's Eddy's Time to Rant!
[Eddy] Come on everybody just call up for a little laugh, complain, scream or to blow off some steam.
[Eddy] It's free and it'll do you a world of good.
[Man on radio] I'll tell you, Eddy, we're just not safe any more. Look at everything that's going on these days, the kind of people you see...
You can say that again.
[Man on radio] ...I'm telling you, the world just ain't a safe place any more. It ain't safe.
[Eddy] I cannot express how much I agree with you. This is Time to Rant, the free...
Here we go!
[TV noise within stops]
Fuckin' rednecks!
[Ringing tone]
[Man on answerphone] Hello, you've reached the voicemail of Richard Jones, Sales Manager at Globaltech California.
[Man on answerphone] Please leave a message after the tone and I'll call you back as soon as possible.
Hello, ah, Mr Jones? Sam Corbitz calling. Ah, I wanted to talk to you about this idea of yours.
I've been thinking and, er, the thing is, I just don't feel it's worthwhile operating in this area.
I haven't managed to meet a single person yet.
I was wondering if it was possible if maybe I could just - I could just come back to Los Angeles.
My daughter's birthday is coming up.
Okay. Thank you.
[Starter motor]
Come on, come on, come on!
[Radio jingle] Eddy - he speaks for the community.
[Eddy] We interrupt this program for a special announcement. Little Cindy, who disappeared last week, is still missing.
[Eddy] But according to police it's become increasingly clear that her disappearance is linked to the killer.
[Eddy] Her uncle Jack Brandon's own cousin has decided to join the hunt with everyone else.
[Eddy] In his own words, I quote: "If we can't find Cindy, at least we can get the man who kidnapped her.
[Eddy] "And if we do find him? Boy, oh boy! We'll show him what real pain feels like."
[Eddy] Now, some music.
[Ringing tone]
Hello? Hello?
[Man on phone] Hello.
Hi! My name is Sam! I'm just so happy to hear from someone...
[Disconnected tone]
Hello? Hello?
[Ringing tone]
[Disconnected tone]
[Eddy] It is now six o'clock and this is Eddy's Time to Rant.
[Eddy] Come on everybody just call up for a little laugh, complain, scream or to blow off some steam.
[Eddy] It's free and it'll do you a world of good.
[Woman on radio] Hi, Eddy? My name's Rebecca Sexton.
[Woman on radio] You know, this killer you're talking about?
[Woman on radio] He's murdering families, right? I mean, women and children! I don't understand why the police aren't doing anything.
[Woman on radio] All they do is talk, talk, talk. They say they've seen the killer. They say this, they say that.
[Woman on radio] But when it comes down to it, what are they actually doing?
Then tell them yourself, stupid.
[Eddy] Thank you dear Rebecca for your testimony. That will be so helpful, and I'd like to thank you for being such a great help throughout the years...
[Eddy] and you've never let us down, ever. Thank you so much and I wish you a long, healthy and happy life.
[Ringing tone]
[Woman's voice on answerphone] Hello, you've reached Rita's voicemail. Please leave a message and I'll return your call as soon as possible.
Rita? Rita, pick up the phone, please.
Please.
I get it.
I just wanna say that I'm sorry.
I know that this isn't an easy time for us.
But I wanna try again.
Give the little one a kiss for me, and I'll call back tomorrow for her birthday.
Hello?
I'm not a thief, okay? I left some money on the counter.
[Pager ringing]
Well if you ever wanna meet my daughter, cross your fingers.
[Starter motor]
[Engine starts]
[Ringing tone]
[Woman on answerphone] Hello. You've got the right number but unfortunately the Andersons aren't here right now, probably for a good reason.
[Woman on answerphone] Leave us a message and we'll call you back at the right time. Thank you.
Hello?
Is anyone there? Erm... My name is Sam Corbitz.
Someone left me a message earlier.
I... I don't understand what's going on. I don't know who you are, or what you want.
So you could just please tell me what this is all about.
This isn't funny, okay?
[Telephone rings]
Hello?
[Sound of child choking on phone]
Who is this?
[Choking continues]
[Disconnected tone]
[Ringing tone]
[Rita's voice on answerphone] Hi, you've reached Rita's voicemail. Please leave a message and I'll return your call as soon as possible.
Rita! I'm nearing Los Angeles. I've, er, had a little trouble along the way.
Sorry, I'll explain it to you later.
I hope you and the little one are doing okay.
Can't wait to see you.
What the fuck is going on?
[Eddy on radio] We're here with Thomas Payne, the officer in charge of the investigation. Are you here?
[Officer Payne] Hello Eddy. Glad to be of help. I've got some good news. We now have a lead.
[Officer Payne] But we have to be absolutely sure so we don't get the wrong person.
[Officer Payne] That's why we're taking our time.
[Officer Payne] The killer won't be enjoying his spree for much longer.
[Officer Payne] Our lead is a good one, real strong.
[Eddy] That was very interesting. Thank you so much.
[Ringing tone]
[Woman's voice on answerphone] Hello. If you're calling Eddy, it means you are a fan and an eyewitness.
[Woman] Your testimony will help make the world a better place.
[Woman] Unfortunately, all our lines are currently busy with other fans like you.
[Woman] Press one to hold the line or two to leave a message that can be aired later on the show.
[Hold music]
[Woman] Please leave a message after the tone, and of course Eddy says thank you.
This message is for Rita Corbitz.
This is Sam, your husband. I've been trying to call you but I haven't been able to get in touch.
There's no one around here and everything is closed.
And the only thing that seems to be working is this crazy show so I figured I'd give it a shot.
[Man on radio] My name's Michael Rivers. I'm calling because my wife's out on the road.
[Pager ringing]
[Man on radio] It's so dangerous out there.
[Man on radio] Sylvia, if you're listening to this, come home, please. Come home. It's really not safe...
[Loud bang]
Fuck!
Shit!
Oh no.
[Pager ringing]
[Car pulls up]
[Wail of siren]
Hey!
[Gunshot]
Oh. Oh. Oh. Ow.
[Man on radio] I mean, take a deep breath...
Somebody here?
[Man on radio] Stop doing what you're doing for a minute and look at the landscape.
[Man on radio] Look at the road and the mountains in the distance.
[Man on radio] Look at the colours of the sky - blue, red, black and white.
[Man on radio] Every day they look different.
[Man on radio] Look at the beautiful bright yellow shining sun that gives light to the flowers and the...
[Man on radio] Every day we live here is a miracle. It's a kick.
[Radio continues in background]
[Man on radio] ...and defend it. We'll raise children in the wild and defend them.
[Man on radio] That's the most beautiful thing.
[Eddy] We'll leave you now for a special announcement. We have some new elements concerning the killer.
[Eddy] Leo, you're here with us. Do you hear me?
[Woman's voice on answerphone] Thank you for continuing to hold...
Come on, come on, come on! Come on!
[Leo] Well, yes, Eddy, I hear you. I hear you all right.
[Leo] I like the sound of your voice.
[Leo] So glad to be here on your show and be able to help a little.
[Leo] I'm a huge fan.
[Leo] It sounds like it won't be long now. I have a feeling the hunt will be over very soon.
[Leo] I got a brother-in-law in the department who tells me the killer's name is Sam.
[Leo] I repeat: Sam is the killer's name. Good to know, right?
[Woman on phone] 911. What is your emergency?
[Eddy] Well, thank you Leo for your call. Thanks to your brother-in-law. We surely appreciate it.
[Eddy] Well apparently for those who have just arrived, what Leo's courageous brother-in-law...
[Trailer door opens]
[Eddy] Let's send our thoughts and prayers to the police now, as they take great risks to stop the killer...
[Eddy] from breaking into our beautiful homes and endangering the lives of our beloved children.
[Eddy] What would we do without them? All our thoughts go to the brave agents who are on the road.
[Eddy] To them, we say good luck.
[Eddy] And now, some music.
[Radio jingle] The community has a voice, and that voice has a name - Rant for Eddy!
[Rita's voice on answerphone] Hello, you've reached Rita's voicemail. Please leave a message and I'll return your call as soon as possible.
Rita? You're not gonna believe this...
but a cop just tried to kill me.
A fucking cop!
It's insane! This whole place, it's insane.
I don't know. It's, er, it's crazy. It's like everything is broken, or something.
I don't know. But he's dead.
[Sam] Agh!
[Choking]
[Sam] Agh! [Cracking sound]
[Sam screams]
[Trailer advertisement on radio]
Agh! Oh, fuck!
[Man on radio] You heard the latest about the killer, right? At first there was talk about burglaries but now they know better.
[Man on radio] Guy's a beast. That's what they say.
[Man on radio] I know a guy who knows this other guy who saw some pictures of what he did. Wow!
[Man on radio] He described them to me. Oh man!
[Man on radio] Did I feel dirty! It made me feel real dirty.
[Man on radio] And I prayed. I prayed for all mankind.
[Eddy] I cannot express how much I agree with you. This is Time to Rant, the free rant show where we need your rant and ranting is free.
[Eddy] Who says children can't rant?
[Eddy] Now we have a little girl here. Sophia has been invited by her parents to rant for you.
[Eddy] Her parents are long-time fans of the show and they've asked her to say something.
[Eddy] Sophia, are you here with us?
[Sophia] Yes. Hi, Eddy.
[Eddy] Hello, Sophia. Go on.
[Eddy] And to our dear listeners, please be nice to Sophia because she appears to be a little shy.
[Sophia] Thank you, Eddy.
[Sophia] Well, I wanted to thank the good people who are helping us catch the bad man.
[Sophia] Because of the bad man my parents said they won't let me go outside with Emile.
[Sophia] They say it's dangerous.
[Eddy] And who is Emile, Sophia? Your little brother?
[Sophia] No. He's my cat.
[Sophia] He's a very nice cat. He's got nice white fur...
[Sophia's voice continues in background]
What?!
[Eddy] Well Sophia, thanks for sharing with us today. Don't worry about Emile. I promise nothing will happen to him.
[Eddy] He'll be safe.
[Sophia] Can I rant a little more some time?
[Eddy] Of course, Sophia. You can rant as much as you want.
[Eddy] You have every right to be fed up. I mean, who doesn't?
[Eddy] And now this is Time to Rant, everybody. Come on! Get angry.
[Man on radio] Yeah, hey Eddy. How you doin'? Thanks for taking my call.
[Man on radio] I heard about the killer and I don't want to talk about him.
[Man on radio] No, sir. I trust you. I know you guys are gonna stop him in the end.
[Man on radio] I just called to have a little rant with you, my man.
[Man on radio] I just want to say I'm fed up with all these people, you know?
[Man on radio] All these suits, the government, the bankers, you know, oil companies, even Hollywood.
[Man on radio] I am fed... I wanna rant, man!
[Dogs barking]
Yes! Yes!
Come on, come on, come on, come on, come on!
[Starter motor]
Come on, come on, come on, come on, come on!

Come on, come on! Fuck! Shit!
Fuck!
What the fuck is this? [Metallic clink nearby]
Hello?
[Pan boiling]
What the fuck?!
Hey, stop! Stop, stop, please stop. No, stop! Calm down! It's okay - look, look. I'm not gonna hurt you!
[Woman screams]
Listen to me, okay, listen to me!
[Woman] Help! [Sam] Calm down! Calm down!
Okay, I'm not going to hurt you...
[Pan boiling, Sam's voice in background]
No, no, calm down, okay, calm down. Everything's fine!
[Woman screams] [Sam screams in pain]
[Water hisses, woman screams in agony] Ow, my face! It hurts!
Sorry! Oh, sorry!
It hurts! My god it hurts!
[Sam] I'm sorry! I'm sorry!
It hurts! Help!
Oh my god, oh my god!
It hurts so bad! Ow, look what you've done to me!
[Voice outside] Aunt!
[Woman] My nephews will make you pay!
[Woman] You cocksucking motherfucker!
I'm so sorry! I'm so sorry!
[Woman] Burn him! Burn him! Burn him!
[Gunshot] [Sam] Agh!
[Gunshot]
[Sam gasping for breath]
[Phone rings]
Hello? Yes, please help, please help! These guys tried...
[Woman on phone] Calm down, calm down! We're gonna rape you with your own cock.
Agh!
[Sam] Agh!
[Sam choking]
[Sam coughing]
[Sam shouts, loud thud]
[Grunts with effort]
[Eerie hollow thud]
[Woman from trailer] Help!
What did you do to my nephews, you paedophile scum?
I'm going to cut you open!
[Woman moans as Sam kicks away knife]
This poor little girl. You saw her through the hole, right?
Yet you let her rot in your own room.
Shame on you. Shame on you. You like to watch little girls suffer, do you?
Look at what you did to me.
You're a bad man.
Did you enjoy it? Did you get pleasure from it?
Did you get off on it?
You made me do it.
Where is Eddy? Where is he?
Inside. [Dying breath]
[Starter motor]
[Engine starts]
[Man on radio] You know the funny thing? I've known Sam for more than twenty years.
[Man on radio] We used to be friends back in the day, okay? He was a very quiet guy - very quiet.
[Man on radio] But now, after everything I've learned...
[Pager rings]
[Man on radio] ...I keep going back to those memories. I see them in a different light, okay?
[Man on radio] Take his eyes, for example. I used to think he was so quiet and nice.
[Man on radio] But it's like there was something below the surface just waiting to come out. I can see it so...
Rita? It's me again.
I know that you don't wanna talk to me.
I understand.
Anyway, I'm gonna be home soon.
I promise that everything will be right from now on. But, first, there's something I have to do.
They say that I killed a little girl.
It's all lies!
And I'm gonna prove it.
I just... I want you to know that I love you.
And I love the little one.
[Answerphone voice] The mailbox is full and cannot accept any messages at this time. Goodbye.
[Disconnected tone]
[Sound of wall breaking]
[Sam gasps]
[Flies buzzing]

[Eddy] Come on everybody just call up for a little laugh, complain, scream or to blow off some steam.
[Eddy] It's free and it'll do you a world of good.
Hello?
[Eddy] This is Time to Rant everybody. Come on! [Loud click]
Who is this?
[Disjointed recording made from mixed voices] Hello Sam. This is Eddy.
[Recording] Sam, you're here with us?
[Recording] Do you hear me?
What do you want from me?
[Recording] Thank you, Sam. I hear you all right. You know, Eddy speaks for the community.
That isn't true! What do you want?
[Recording] You have every right to be fed up. I mean, who doesn't?
[Recording] Sam, we want to see you die because we hate you. [Multiple voices together] Murderer!
A fake!
[Recording] We want to see you punished, Sam. We want the world to be rid of Sam.
[Recording] Killer! Killer! Killer!
I didn't kill anybody!
[Child's voice in distress] Please don't hurt me, mister!
[Child's voice in distress] No! Please don't hurt me!
[Sam's voice on recording] Calm down! Hey, calm down! Everything's fine. I'm not gonna hurt you, okay?
[Child crying on recording]
I have a family.
A little girl.
I could never do anything like that.
You call. You call them and they'll tell you.
That can't be me.
[Eddy] Well, Sam. That was very interesting. Thank you so much.
[Eddy] And now, time for a commercial break.
[TV hissing]
[Child choking on TV]
[Sam on TV] Hi. This message is for Rita Corbitz.
[Sam on TV] This is Sam, your husband. I've been trying to call you but I haven't been able to get in touch.

[Sam on TV] And the only thing that seems to be working is this crazy show...
[Recording of Eddy's voice] We interrupt this program for a special announcement. We now have Rita on the phone.
[Rita] Hello Eddy.
[Rita] First I wanna say I'm a big fan and I agree with everything you say but...
[Rita] I'm upset because I don't know this man. I don't know the man who just left a message on the air.
[Rita] My husband passed away five years ago.
[Rita] Let me repeat: I do not know this man and he's frightening my daughter.
[Sam on TV] I just wanna say that I'm sorry.
[Sam on TV] I'm sorry that I haven't been here more often for you...
[Eddy] We understand, Rita. We understand. The world is not a safe place because of people like him.
[Eddy] But we're going to make it safe, for you and for your daughter.
[Eddy] Just wait. You wait and see.
[Disconnected tone]
[Sam on TV] I don't want to lose you.
[TV hisses]
