- Kate.

He said it's quite bad.

Um, a car ran over a few

and killed them.

I suppose I can go

and have a look.

I'm here anyway.

He'd do the same for me.

Thanks for your help.

Okay, mind explaining

what the f*** is going on?

What are you talking about?

Whose house is it

that you're in?

Sweetheart, I told you.

Stop lying to me!

I'm not.

Stop overreacting.

I'm nearly done.

I'll see you soon, okay?

Can I pop these on your ears?

- No, thanks.

- Okay.

You're listening to jab radio,

sound of Snowdonia.

I'm very excited to introduce

the... exotic Carla,

who's travelled over five miles

from Bangor

to join us tonight.

She's going to predict

our futures.

I'm guessing you are not

a believer.

No! Fascinated.

I really think...

you're the most exciting guest

we've got on tonight.

Lots of people have a problem

with what I do.

I'm often accused

of exploiting the vulnerable.

But it's not about money,

but consciousness.

The ability to tune

into your environment.

So, tune into here.

Us, now.

For you, Ben...

I see much responsibility.

And Laurie, for you it's...

it's harder to see.

It's misty.

I can sense a dark presence.

A voice crying in the darkness.

In the darkness.

I'm not sure where...

but the voice

is reaching out to us.

Something terrible has happened.

So... just to re-cap...

something terrible is happening

somewhere in the world

right now.

Can't be sure where.

Sorry we can't be more specific.

Hello?

Is anyone there?

Oh, f***.

Hi, you've got

the voicemail of Nick Keller.

I can't take your call

right now,

but if you leave me a message

I'll call you back.

Sh*t.

You're f***ing kidding me!

Come on.

Hi, you've got

the voicemail of Nick Keller.

I can't take your call

right now, but if you leave-

come on.

It's the midnight hour show.

Jab radio.

That was for those of you

still with us at this hour.

We're half way

through the night.

So keep drinking

that extra strength coffee

and follow us until dawn.

It's our final ever show,

so it's your last chance

to hear some decent music

on these airwaves.

Speaking of which,

now it's time for

a blast from the past.

I'm very excited to introduce

the exotic Carla...

She is always like this?

Oh no. Normally we have to be

a little more... safe.

I guess she thinks she's got

nothing to lose.

What are you doing?

There is a light delay

on the show.

Gives me the opportunity

to fade out quick if...

madam in there swears...

or a quest explodes.

Crying in the darkness.

Wait a moment.

Go back.

Okay.

A voice crying in the darkness.

- There?

- Again.

A voice crying in the darkness.

There.

Interference or something.

Ancora. Again.

A voice crying in the darkness.

What does that sound like

to you?

Tell you what.

Let me clean that up a bit.

So, what's her problem?

Oh, she's not that bad really.

I didn't like to say on air

when I was reading her but,

I saw...

a lot of pain in her past.

Oh, the singer

on this track now.

- Yeah?

- That's her.

She's got a great voice.

- Mm-hm.

- What happened?

Some crazy ex.

Years ago now.

She gave up her career for him,

was having his kid,

he was less than thrilled

by the news.

He wanted her

to get an abortion?

No, no, he, um...

stuck an ice pick in her neck

and threw her down

a flight of stairs.

She was lucky.

Well, no, not really, but, um...

she survived.

She lost her baby?

Mm-hm.

Took her a whole year

to relearn how to speak...

but she'll never sing again.

But she's okay.

He's doing a life stretch

in Dartmoor.

Yeah...

What is that?

Hi, you've got the voicemail

of Nick Keller.

I can't take your call

right now,

but if you leave me a mess-

hello?

Nick, stop messing around

and get in the car.

Nick.

Let's get out of here.

Nick.

Nick!

What the f***?

Laurie, we need you in here now.

Right, listen.

This is gonna sound crazy.

- Thrill me.

- Right.

You know that piece

you just did with Carla?

- Yeah.

- Right.

There was something weird. Okay?

Carla spotted it.

So I run it

through the computer,

put it into sound factory,

filtered out the distortion.

So I'm filtering,

and filtering, and filtering...

Yeah, I get the idea.

Anyway, blah, blah, blah,

technical sh*t,

and we get... this.

Voice crying in the darkness...

Oh, god.

Jesus... it's you.

He'll be back any minute.

Please... don't hurt me.

Please... don't hurt me.

You're just picking up a radio

play from another channel,

or kids playing with an old Cb.

No, I eliminated all that.

This stuff was broadcast...

if you can call it that...

from here.

How is that possible?

It's not.

So, what do you want me

to do about it?

We think we can make contact.

Make contact?

With the beyond.

We've got this idea. Right?

It's called EVP.

Electronic voice phenomena.

You create, like, a static hole,

and the voice

of an entity fills that hole-

I've lost you haven't I?

- Yeah.

You lost me at having your hole

filled with entities.

It's possible,

but not for much longer.

In three hours time,

the station turns over

to digital,

and EVP only works

with analogue static.

It's our only chance.

This is how you want me

to go out?

With you two wailing and moaning

like a pair of specters

over the air waves.

Personally...

I'd rather play a steps album.

It's never been done live.

Plus it would really piss off

the channel heads.

Okay, you've got ten minutes after

the news break at two A.M.,

but the first time someone

starts rattling the table,

I'm pulling the plug.

Whey!

Are you going to tell me

what the f*** is going on?

Kate, is that you?

Baby, what's wrong?

You're scaring me.

Here. He's here now.

What?

What's wrong?

Are you okay?

Please, Kate.

I need you.

Nick!

Nick, are you okay?

Nick!

Nick!

Oh, my god.

Jesus, it's you.

He'll be back any second.

Please don't hurt me.

Get away!

It's the midnight hour show

with Laurie wolf on jab.

Welcome back, cub pack.

Hope you enjoyed

the last ever local news

broadcast from this station.

Well, from a last time here

to a first time...

well... anywhere...

Visiting psychic Carla Zazza

has managed to convince me

that we have

a ghost in the machine

here at jab radio,

and she's the one to bust it...

Right?

That's not really what I do.

So tell us, what exactly is it

that you do?

I can contact spirits

of the departed.

Sometimes they

have messages or...

words of comfort

for those left behind.

For a fee, I'm guessing...

A ghost...

A ghost is like an echo.

What you're hearing or seeing...

is being bounced back at you

from the past.

Very often a ghost

is caused by...

a violent and unnatural death.

Spirits nearly always

have some...

unfinished business.

Something that keep

their energy from moving on.

And time, time is meaningless

in the spirit realm.

Sometimes a spirit can even

give us some information

about the future.

So tell us what you have

in store for us tonight.

We believe... that an entity
