Can you break away these
chains that hold you down?

[electric static buzz]
[expl*si*n]
[whirring]
[expl*sive crescendo]
[expl*si*n reverberates]
[labored breathing]
How can ordinary choices
bring you face to face with death?
Will you dare to open the door?
[rhythmic pulsing]
Tell me now, Felicia,
what do you remember about your childhood?
Can you picture it in your mind?
I can, I can try, but it's only
small gaps in my memory
that I can remember.
Now I can't physically
verbalize my memories.
[silence]
[sigh of defeat]
Try to recall the feeling that you had
when you finally went
home to live with your dad.
I can try.
I'll try again
[paper rustles briefly]
[whirring]
[spinning coin-like whirling]
[metallic shudder and abrupt stop]
You slept a long time back there.
[opens door]
[gravel crunches underfoot]
[closes door]
[gravel crunches underfoot]
[opens door]
You know, you keep getting any bigger,
I'm not going to be able
to do this much longer.
[door mechanism clicks]
[gravelly crunching footsteps]
Let's go inside and I'll
show you to your new room.
[gravelly crunching footsteps]
[suspenseful music]
Goodnight Felicia.
You're home now.
I hope you like your new room.
[suspenseful music cl*max]
Dream of all the things you can imagine.
[suspenseful music]
[rapid slam]
[lupine howling]
Tell me now Felicia...
[lupine howling continues]
What do you remember about your new home?
[eerie beats]
[rapid shallow breathing]
So this sound you heard,
and now a figure emerges?
[sighs]
Yeah, it was really safe, but...
And I wrote it all down, of course.
But it was, it was a new
place, new room and...
Now...
And I think I got scared.
I want you to stay right there.
And I want you to go a little deeper
And tell me more.
[silence]
A shadow...
[silence]
[suspenseful music crescendos]
[abrupt slam]
[silence]
It's okay, honey.
Go back to sleep.
Everything's okay.
[silence]
Yeah, everything's okay.
[silence]
[jaunty violin music]
[intense drumbeat]
[strained vocal noises]
[flashbulb bursts]
[strained indiscernible falsetto speech]
Felicia, it's okay!
Felicia!
Felicia! It's okay!
[silence]
Felicia, you know how sometimes the wind
can carry sounds further?
The carnival, it's-it's over.
Those things outside, they cannot hurt you.
They cannot hurt you.
[sharp intake of breath]
So you see this clown, as you call it.
And your... - Yes!
- dad was always there for you?
Yes, I-I-I-I...
[expels air abruptly]
I'm sorry.
[silence]
Yes.
Yes.
I can picture it in my head.
I can picture it in my head.
I can...
And you had only been there a few nights
and this was happening?
picture it in my head, but I can't...
I can't get it out, I can't
get it out of my head.
I can't...
[sighs defeatedly]
I can't get it out.
Keep going, Felicia.
Yes, and it was so scary.
And these images are... they're in my mind.
They're-they're in my mind.
[whimper]
[baby-like vocalizing]
And I just can't get... I can't
get them out of my head.
[rapid shallow breathing]
[inhales sharply]
[whimpers]
I'll-I'll try.
[carnival music]
[prolonged discordant note]
[cosmic whooshing]
[carnivalesque music]
[discordant chimes]
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa,
you must have had a nightmare.
Come on.
You okay?
Now, you see this clown, as you call it.
And your dad was always there for you?
[gasps]
[whimpers]
[sudden silence]
[metronomic ticking]
My hero in a lot of ways.
My dad.
[silence]
Yeah.
Yeah, and as much as I can
think, I just don't know why...
Keep going, Felicia.
[silence]
[blinds clicking]
[silence]
Your mother gave me
notes on your sleep schedule.
And I'm really trying.
I'm going to just leave
this door open for you.
You can't remember?
See the figure that
haunted you that first week?
Hear that sound of the music
getting louder and louder,
but it seems like it's
miles away in the next town
as this mysterious clown
man peeks into your bedroom?
Felicia, you need to dive
deeper to get to the root of this
problem so we can
finally get you past this.
I-I can try.
[jaunty quartet music]
[growl]
[eerie music]
[gasp]
[anxious shallow breathing]
I can't.
[jeering melodic honking]

[cry-vocalizing]
[up-tempo suspenseful music]
No-oh.
[suspenseful music]
Felicia!
Pull yourself together!
I don't buy this "I didn't do it" act.
We know you k*lled your
father, your boyfriend.
There is no clown.
[suspenseful music]
[tense breathing]

[panting]
[melancholic piano music]
Hey, you okay?
[panting]
[melancholic music]
Yeah, I'm okay, I just
need to catch my breath.
[melancholic music]
- Did you take your heart pill?
- Yeah.
Yeah, okay, take this.[
[chuckles]
Gotcha.
Now Dr. Sandy Reynolds says...
- Guess what?
- What?
Just don't have nightmares.
Simple as that.
Yeah, well funny.
Yeah.
She can be intense.
Mm-hmm
But your mom is a good shrink though.
I think she helped
you face this fear that...
that you're going through.
Yeah.
Well, she was especially
intense when I was a kid.
I remember it all the time.
[melancholic music]
[chuckles]
I don't want this heart
condition anymore.
[melancholic music continues]
Listen, your dad, he was a hero.
Okay? He kept you safe.
And what you went
through, he saved you from it.
Yeah.
And that's probably a good thing
that you don't remember it.
Yeah, well, it's hard
to believe he's dead.
I know it's been,
what, like, 10 years but...
I know it's stressful but
you're getting stronger.
And guess what?
I'm here for you.
Hmm.
I really am, I'm here for you anytime.
I appreciate you.
Thank you.
[feet scuffing]
[melancholic piano music]
Well, hey, you know, let
me know if you need anything.
Okay, I'm gonna go downstairs
and make a sandwich and grab a drink.
Because you know me, I eat
every 2 hours because I am Italian.
Mm-hmm.
Yeah, you know, I'll
just scream if I need you.
I know you will.

Well, hello there.
Hello.
- How's your project?
- How're you doing?
Going good, a lot of
work, work, work, work.
- Yeah.
- You know?
But I did have a sandwich.
Did you?
Yeah, it was good.
I haven't.
[melancholic music]
Yeah, but, but I have
been taking my heart meds,
which, you know, but...
Well, as Dr. Sandy says, you know...
Don't talk about my mom.
Okay, I was just trying to be funny.
Mm-hmm.
Maybe we should go to bed then.
Yeah, we should.
I'll finish up my work.
[melancholic music]
I love you, Larry.
Maybe I can make you a sandwich.
I'll be there in 20 minutes.
[upbeat music]
You the best!

[suspenseful music]
Pull yourself together!
I don't buy this "I didn't do it" act.
We know you k*lled your
father, your boyfriend.
There is no clown,
like that stupid
child-in-space line you have.
I'm going to prove it once
and to my own daughter.
I never did, I think I'm going
to treat my own daughter
that there is no clown.

[eerie music]
Hey there, kiddo.
This is your uncle.
You know, the one and only.
It's that time of week again.
And don't forget to call your mom.
You know, she hates it when you're late.
Thanks, Rusty Buckets.
[suspenseful music]
[cellphone keys ping]
[suspenseful music]
[takes heavy breath]
Good morning, my little rusty bucket.
Hello, mother.
[suspenseful music]
Mom, you know I don't
like it when you call me that.
Yeah, I'm in janitorial now.
I'm not just some monkey wrench.
And you know that.
Oh, I know.
But you'll always be my little bucket.
You were born for that job.
[sharp exhale]
You did it so well.
And not an ounce of dirt left.
[suspenseful music]
So how was your week?
Who did clean up this week?
Yeah, mom, can you hold
on for one second, please?
I need to make a sandwich.
I just got home.
And here I thought that tonight's bingo
would pale in comparison.
Between your laundry and your
uncle's cowboy movie marathon,
I'll stick with the bingo.
[silence]
[melancholic music]
Rusty?
I'm back, mom.
Listen, I'm gonna put you on speaker, okay?
[button beeps]
But yeah, anyway, there's
nothing too exciting tonight.
Basically, just another generic house call.
Fellas from work, they
went out for some drinks,
but, I don't know, I'm just
really not feeling like it tonight.
I did, however, finally
get around to fixing
those broken tools of
Uncle Pat's in the shed.
Boy, I'll tell you, it's so much
nicer working with some steel.
It really makes life a lot
easier, you know what I mean?
[eerie music]
That old fool.
[chuckles]
But anyway, it's snowing
pretty good here tonight.
So I think I'm just gonna...
[sighs]
I forgot my laundry.
[chuckles]
[silence]
Rusty.
Well, how is the old
b*stard doing anyway?
Oh, you know your Uncle Pat.
Ever since he retired, putters
around the house all day.
He keeps trying to fix
things that don't need fixing.
Lately, he's gotten really into gardening,
like really into gardening.
Sure beats him cluttering up the house with
something like sports
memorabilia or his trophies.
Yeah.
Which last time I checked
still lived in boxes in the attic.
What's frustrating is he doesn't know
the first thing about plants.
Yeah, it's been 2 years since he hung up
the old battle axe, hasn't it?
[eerie music]
[metallic clicking]
After 33 years in the business,
I mean, the guy's a legend.
He holds records that still stand today.
And it makes it hard to live up to.
Oh, I know.
But you'll always be my little bucket.
[suspenseful music]
[loud bang]
Rusty?
Rusty?
[melancholic music]
So tell me how everything went last night?
[rustling sound]
Rusty?
[keys jingling]
Rusty?
Well, started well enough til Roy called
me down from Billy's Airbnb.
[phone ringing]
Apparently a bunch of people got drunk
and messed up a bunch of stuff.
You know, the usual.
And Roy said he could tell
the moment they showed up,
stinking bad like smoke.
Sounds to me like
they were asking for it.
[chair creaks]
Drinking and smoking,
that's just not right.
[silence]
[sirens blaring]
[discordant violin]
[suspenseful music]
[police siren and radio chatter]
[suspenseful music]
Rusty!
[suspenseful music]
Exactly right.
[suspenseful music beat]
So I grabbed my backup
mask, loaded up my bag,
went to the house that
they were staying in.
[upbeat music]
It was dark when I got there.
There was a steady stream of shitty
pop music coming from inside.
Made my approach that much easier though.
[sharpening sound]
Took a play out of old Pat's
playbook and cut the power.
Once that was done,
all the doors were locked.
Made for a real easy clean up.
[eerie music]
That was always one
of his favorite moves,
cutting the power.
[eerie music]
[breathing shakily]
[eerie music]
[panting and gasping]
[mumbling noises]
[breathing heavily]
[suspenseful music]
[whooshing sound]
[eerie music]
[groaning and stabbing]
[gargling blood]
[eerie music]
What happened to your first 2?
You know how these things go.
They get scared and they freeze.
And that's when your work follows you home.
[upbeat music]
[inaudible] my cousin's...
I mean, he's an idiot, but he's awesome.
Yeah, he's pretty cool, I guess.
He really hooked up this
place, you know what I'm saying?
[upbeat music]
Yeah, somebody partied here.
[laughter]
Sorry.
Listen to that.
That's pretty good.
That's actually the shittiest
thing I've ever heard in a song.
Hey, it's not bad.
It's not bad.
It's not good.
I like those lights...
They obviously rent
this place out every night
to other people because
there's crap everywhere.
Hey, how come my
number's not in your phone?
Like I'm your date and
it's not even in your phone.
Because you never text me back.
Because I don't text.
I don't really have a phone.
Yeah, exactly.
I see your mom called.
Again?
Yeah, your dad likes me better though.
I could have a conversation with him.
Your mom thinks I'm dirt.
Maybe I'll order a pizza.
No, burgers.
Nah, pizza.
Cheese pizza.
Cheese pizza.
No, I want burger.
No, cheese pizza.
- Yes.
- No, stay here.
I'll make some calls.
Play the music.
Stay.
[sensual music]
[knocking]
[sensual music]

Is that you?

Ooh.
[eerie music]
[laughter]
Uh, hello?
[eerie music]
El Captain's Pizza?
Large cheese?
[eerie music]
Large cheese pizza with bacon, sir?
[eerie music]
Okay.
- Boom!
- Oh, sorry.
[melancholic music]
Hello, AJ's Burgers, hotline grill?
[melancholic music]
[phone vibrating]
Hello?
[melancholic music]
[phone beeps]
[phone chimes]
Hit me electronically!
Come on!
No tip?
f*ck.
[melancholic music]
[phone beeping]
Roy, I cleaned everything up.
Everything.
I think I'm gonna stay here for a while.
Thanks for everything.
And what about the girl?
Did you get a chance to talk to her?
Do you think maybe she's the one?
No, mom, she was not the one.
At least, I hope not.
I'll take the one that fights me back.
Wow.
I fell in love with your
father the night we met.
[eerie music]
[music box playing]
The creative ways he hit
the bodies of my friends,
it was magical.
[spooky music]
Becky's argument is completely stupid.
Kurt Russell was supposed to be Superman.
She keeps trying to tell me that, what,
Schwarzenegger or
Stallone was a better option.
Those guys don't even speak English.
Totally.
Right.
[sighs]
I'm out of beer.
Yep, me too.
And it's still not making
the sound any better.
Am I supposed to get my own beer?
So I get to change the
music and get you beer?
I got us here, we're in downtown LA.
Private VIP experience.
And I have to get my own beer.
I'm gonna change the music.
[footsteps]
[background music playing]
[sighs]
I guess I'm getting it.
[sound of cup falling]
[sighing]
[eerie music]
Hey, how do you drop
the needle with all this stuff?
I can't stand this hobby garbage.
I just wanna...
What do I got here?
D... D-Dio.
This sounds pretty heavy.
When I saw him for the first time,
[inaudible] blood covered eyes.
I knew right away,
he was the one for me.
[eerie music]
Oh, I think I got one.
Just really I just need
to get to the turntable.
Where are you at with the beer though?
[eerie music]
I don't know how you got
2 passes to The Snakepit,
but VIP this is nice.
I like this.
Wherever you are.
Yeah, didn't Uncle Pat
take a record one time
and get creative with it?
Well, that sounds like Uncle Pat.
[screaming in the background]
He also changed his mind quite a bit.
Listen.
[dramatic music]
[slashing sound]
[gargling]
That story never gets old.
Well, I'll talk to you next
week at our usual time.
Don't forget to soak those
stains before scrubbing
them with the hydrogen peroxide.
Yes, mother.
[music box playing]
[heavy breathing]
Bridging the gap between worlds
where spirits seek dark justice.
Tune in for John Severus last episode.
[inaudible] to ROTD.
[phone dialing]
[musical tones]
[loud expl*si*n]
[melancholic music]
[static noise and voices]
R-O-T-D.
[mumbling voice] sounds.
[dialing tone]
Nice.
Great feedback.
[upbeat music]
Welcome back everybody
and thanks for sticking with us.
Now during the break,
Vala and I were, you know,
we're going back and forth
between about something here.
And she doesn't believe in the afterlife.
You know, even after all the
evidence that she's experienced
here on the show, she's still a skeptic.
[sacred music playing]
I didn't say that.
I said I can't believe anyone would stay
here if heaven were an option?
Well, some people have unfinished
business and that's why they stay.
They're looking for mediums such as myself.
They're looking to pass the time.
Looking to pass on messages.
[sacred music]
I don't know, man.
I guess if heaven were an
option and I had the opportunity
to have all my questions answered and
to know everything,
you know, there'd be
nothing keeping me here.
[sacred music]
That may be true for
you, but not everybody.
Nope, not the folks listening out there.
Now make sure you all
subscribe on social media here.
We have a set up here.
And don't turn your
dial away from this show.
Do not because you're
going to miss something
very interesting coming up.
Now we got a few emails coming
in from a paranormal
investigator from Maine.
And we're going to check those out.
[sacred music]
All right, this was interesting.
[sacred music]
Yeah, that's right, Violet.
He claims to be another investigator.
I don't know.
He's worked on a few
things with lucid dreaming,
you know, to reach out to the deceased.
Now rather than like a
method of exploration,
he's successfully said he communicates
in the dead in this manner,
so using drugs, basically.
And I believe that would
make him a medium too.
I don't know, what do you think?
That's a trippy idea.
It reminds me of the the
people who do psychedelics
and claim they've talked to
people who have passed on.
There might be something to this.
[sacred music]
A lot of comments coming in here.
I'm reading on the screen.
Hi, John, I'm a huge fan of the show.
And just the other week you
helped out my cousin, Teddy.
So far trying to reach his
great, great grandmother.
He's been a changed man ever since.
Thank you, Johnny.
Song, your show,
sorry, playing on the radio.
And I just want to say,
everyone in the store thinks you're sh*t.
Well, as you already know,
when it comes to research
in this field, I mean, we get a bad rep.
You know what I mean?
If anything goes out of the status quota
we're labeled crazy.
Anyway, it's time to go to the phones,
and take some of your calls out there.
The board's lit up like a Christmas tree.
I see all your comments out there.
Let's go.
[eerie music]
Hi Jonny, I'm your number one fan.
I really love and appreciate
what you do on your show,
especially that co-host of yours.
[eerie music]
My gosh, I love you and your show, John.
I think it's so amazing
that you can reach people's
deceased loved ones and give some comfort
knowing they have moved on.
Simply amazing.
Amazing.
[eerie music]
R-O-T-D.
[mumbled voices]
[dialing tone]
Hey, John, my name is AJ,
long time listener and first time caller.
Thanks for tuning in AJ.
What can we do for you tonight?
I was wondering when
you see them, do they come
to you in the condition they
were in when they passed?
Like if someone died in a fire,
are they like all burnt up and crispy?
[clears throat]
No way, Jay.
I see them as they want to be seen,
maybe as they want to be remembered.
Oh, that is a relief.
I thought for a second that you might
see some pretty gross stuff.
No, nothing like that.
Once they pass on,
the dead have complete control of how
they present themselves to the living.
You know what I mean?
Thanks for calling.
Next caller.
[silence]
Hi, Johnny?
I absolutely love, love, love the show.
It's amazing how you can communicate
people and give people reassurance that
there is something on the other side.
Caller number 2.
Hey, John, it's Janet from St. Louis.
Hi, big fan.
First time caller.
I was wondering if you could...
Well, if you could try reaching
out to someone for me,
I-I lost a sister a few years back.
And I miss her so much.
I was hoping...
Thanks so much for listening, Janet.
You'll get a message across.
Tell me a little bit
more about your sister.
Well, her name was Sandy.
She had dark hair and a
laugh that could fill a room.
[chuckles]
I mean, she was really a crowd favorite.
She liked comedy
movies and staying up late.
We spent a lot of time together
watching the dumbest movies
and eating snacks.
[chuckles]
[sobbing]
Sandy?
Sandy.
Sandy.
Sandy.
Sandy.
Is that you?
[silence]
Sandy, can you hear me?
[silence]
We have your sister, Janet, here now.
What would you like to say to Sandy?
I'm so sorry for what happened to you.
[sobbing]
Janet, Sandy wants me to
tell you that she forgives you,
and she would always remember
the night you two watched Dumb and Dumber.
I wish I had listened to you
when you tried to tell me about Brad.
[sobbing]
Oh my God.
Sandy, I love you so much.
Wait a minute, she's
returned to the beyond.
Thank you so much, Mr. Sabaris.
You have no idea what this means to me.
Thank you.
[silence]
You don't have to thank me, Janet.
I'm only the messenger, okay?
You have a great night.
Thanks for being a
great fan out there, okay?
There are a lot of people who have crossed
over and let me tell you
sometimes it can be very difficult.
So today was very clear.
Two sisters mending their
relationship even in death.
We're going to go...
Oh, boy, we're going
to take a short ad break
here and we'll be back in 2 minutes.
Thanks, folks.
Keep rocking and rolling.
[slow music playing]
I don't know why I'm so thirsty.
[slow music playing]
How'd you know about
the Dumb and Dumber thing?
You should know better to
ask me a question like that.
You know what I mean?
Okay.
Yeah, take this.
Okay.
I don't know why I'm so thirsty.
I got a headache still.
Hey, you want this?
My grandfather was always thirsty.
I mean, he had diabetes.
Maybe you have diabetes.
You should go get checked?
Yeah, I don't, but...
Here, you want to take these?
Take 2.
Yeah, but I don't need 2 of them
because my pain tolerance
is usually higher than normal.
Okay, well then take 1 and
when you still have a headache
in an hour, you can take another one.
Well, why don't you take the mic then?
Well, who would answer the emails?
Yeah, corporate wouldn't let you anyways.
No, I'm just the co-host.

Welcome back to Calling Beyond,
I am John Saberath.
For any first-time listeners
out there, I am a medium.
Back in 2007, I lost my
wife to a terrible accident
after waking up in a coma.
I realized though I had a gift,
that I could speak, through my connection,
to Amy and to those who have passed over.
Over the last 17 years,
I've traveled all through
this great country
trying to, you know, find peace for people,
their loved ones.
But it's currently 5 after the hour
and we need to get to the phone.
So just one second.
I was just checking the site.
And it appears we have a suggestion.
Beth says we should do an episode where
we talk about the accident
and the connection you felt
with Amy after you woke up
from your comma.
Well we did an episode like
that in the beginning of the show.
But yeah, it's-it's...
It's been a little while
since we spoke about it.
So, maybe you could do
something like that again.
Thanks, Beth.
[silence]
Violet, who's next
John, call number 2.
[clears throat]
[inaudible]
Go ahead, caller.
Hello, John.
It's been a long time.
[loud static noise]
You haven't forgotten me already, have you?
It wasn't that long ago
that I worked for you.
Have we spoken before?
[eerie music]
Clearly somebody who
couldn't cut it around here.
What's the plan?
Call up, make a mockery of me and my show.
Whoever this is, your prank is not funny.
We don't have time for this.
You already know this isn't a prank.
[eerie music]
And you know exactly who I am.
Knock it off, come on.
[plastic sound]
I interned for you for a
long time isn't that right?
I was the first person the hospital called
after the [crosstalk]...
- Pranks are not tolerated.
- accident happened.
That type of behavior is
childish and unacceptable.
[eerie music]
We are trying to reach good
people to help their loved ones.
[eerie music]
'Cause that was some
sh*t that just went down.
[loud sound]
Funny thing is a lot of
what the doctor was saying
didn't make any sense.
So I started digging a little deeper.
Do you know what I found?
Turns out there was never
a coma, was there, John?
You faked the whole thing.
Not now, Violet!
[suspenseful music]
I can't believe anyone
would call into my show
and accuse me of such awful things.
Now let's take a second to like
re-center ourselves here.
[suspenseful music]
It's hot in here.
[suspenseful music]
One second, folks.
[suspenseful music]
[phone ringing]
[phone ringing]
Yeah.
Hey, John, this is Doug
from the main station,
Airwaves down in New York City.
And dude, we are listening and we're gonna
- have to pull your show off the air.
- What?
We can't have a fake
medium on the network
advertising a bunch of bullshit!
No.
Get a day job.
You're worthless and weak.
[suspenseful music]
[plastic falling]
[suspenseful music]
Next caller.
[sighs]
[eerie music]
Hello?
[clears throat]
How are you?
It's awful, isn't it?
Having to face the truth
of all the horrible things you've done.
You see, I thought we were going to live a
beautiful life together.
I thought things were going to be easy,
but that wasn't part of the plan.
I wasn't part of the plan, was I, John?
[suspenseful music]
The past has a way of
coming back to haunt you.
And the truth will always
come back to destroy you.
Don't you dare touch that dial.
Stop!
Okay, stop!
Stop, please!
[suspenseful music]
[inaudible].
Again, why?
Having to face the truth of all the
horrible things you've done.
- You see, I thought we were...
- Liar.
going to live a
beautiful life together.
I thought things were going to be easy,
but that wasn't part of the plan.
I wasn't part of the plan, was I, John?
[heart beat and beeping sound]
Stop, please, stop.
Things have a way of
coming back to haunt you.
Stop!
The truth will always
come back to destroy you.
[suspenseful music]
[heart beat sound]
[loud slashing sound]
The hell was that?
- Don't you dare touch that dial.
- That's it.
I'm out of here!
[suspenseful music]
[groaning]
No, let go of me, no.
You [inaudible] from hell.
I don't care!
All right, then.
[mumbling voice]
I had a message from the other side.
[mumbling voice]
Your show sucks.
Get off the air a*s-head.
This is Doug from the main station,
Airwaves, down in New York City,
and we're gonna have to
pull your show off the air.
We can't have a fake medium on our network
advertising a bunch of bullshit.
Violet, make it stop.
Violet!
You're tuned into ROTD.
[loud expl*si*n]
Violet!
Hey John, I listened to your show.
I think you're the biggest
pile of sh*t on the planet.
You're a fake!

Life is embraced beyond tragedy.
Escaping the curse and confront
the shadows that linger in your past.
Strength is in the struggle.
When you open death's last door.
[music beats playing]
[Rock and roll beats]
My focus is pulling my
hand up on the wheels.
And my body is planted, locked in gear.
It's maybe too late, the night is here.
The dead man to my
right speaks so clear.
[music beats]
Drive on by until the morning comes.
Take his round drive..
Set this for you, gotta take a chance.

Just what might you want?
Bathrooms are only for customers.
Hi.
I rented out the suite online.
The suite for the night.
You're the Hanford Airbnb, right?
Um, yes.
Normally I have people sign a ledger.
I'm kind of old-fashioned that way.
But in this case...
We've been around a long time.
[sighs]
It's $200 cash, okay?
[clears throat]
[eerie sound]
No problem.
[background noise]
You must have a lot of dough.
[laughter]
Hmm.
Well, I saw the price, you
know, from your website.
[eerie sound]
Hmm.
[suspenseful music]
I get kind of a dark vibe from you.
[suspenseful music]
[sighs]
Anyway, checkout's at 11:00.
Right?
If you need to dial out
on the phone, just press 0.
If you need to dial the front desk,
dial 9.
Okay?
Is there anyone else here?
Every day, but yes.
We've been here a long time.
Great.
This is your key.
Key to room 4.
[clicks]
There you go.
Only use it on the door for room 4.
Got it?
Great.
Good night, then.

Ms. Wilkins, you have ran out
of time to pay us the loan back
and we're now going to
foreclose on your property.
I'm sorry ma'am, but we can't do that.
[sentimental music]
No.
No, we can't.
I understand but we can't,
given your track record.
[sentimental music]
[phone beeping]
[melancholic music]
Yes, hi.
I need just a small
loan and I'll be all set.
- No.
- No, we can't do that.
I'm sorry ma'am, but we can't do that.
[melancholic music]
You still have 48 hours
to wire us the money,
but it seems unlikely,
given your track record,
that you would be on time.
We can't give you your track record.
Ma'am, we can't...
Hello, hi?
If you keep calling, we
will have to report you.
I'm in need of a loan.
Once that 48 hours is up,
all your belongings will
be property of our union.
The union that you just [crosstalk]...
Yes, hi.
Hi there, yes, I [crosstalk]...
[inaudible] that will be all.
I need this loan to survive.
Damn it!

Yeah, I'm staying put for sure.
Listen, I'll let you know
when I can hang and have
a girls night, but right now I just...
I've got to work to pay off some notes.
Didn't your husband get that
settlement you told me about?
Maybe use that money.
Dang girl, it's been a year since he died.
Yeah, I've never seen any of that money
nor do I want to see that
airhead's face again, so.
I thought you guys
had a solid relationship?
Solid.
[chuckles]
Yeah, crumbs, I would say
That low boy, he worked for the union.
I don't know, I saw him
maybe like once a week.
That was based in the city, I guess,
but he was gone for days,
probably with some hooker.
Oh, really?
You never told me that.
He seemed okay, but he was cute.
He's gone, and this is old news.
Look, I really gotta go.
And probably caught the
eyes of some new woman.
I really have to go.
Dang girl.
I'll talk to you later.
Yep.
Okay, bye.

Ms. Wilkins, how are you doing today?
I hope you're managing well.
Hi, do I...
Do I know you?
Well, I'm here to collect the debt,
the money that you borrowed
from your late husband.
Now, he worked for the Union,
and you always pay back the union.
[clears throat]
I have my money to the bank, so...
Mm-hmm.
This is the first time
I'm hearing of this.
I know he was in the union,
but he must have taken
that money to the grave
because I've never seen any of it.
I see, so you have no
idea what I'm talking about.
No other funds to speak of.
No, I don't even know who you are, sir.
I, no such funds.
Now, if you please, I need to get going.
Wait, where are you going?
Maybe out of town, perhaps?
Yes, in fact, for a
mental getaway, you know?
Recharge the batteries.
Yes, well, I understand.
Recharge the batteries
is always a good thing.
Just don't go far away, okay?
- Yeah.
- Yeah.
Call me if you remember.
Have a good day.
Yeah.

Hi.
Now I thought I said not to dial.
Is there a fire or something?
Yeah, I know you said not to call,
but it sounds like there's
a loud conversation
coming from the room next door.
But you said there was no one here.
Yes, no one is there.
Okay, so maybe the neighbors then?
[sighs]
There was people who rented the space and-
Is this someone outside?
Well, I remember they did argue
and I had to come out
and take care of business.
No one disgraces my place that way.
Okay.
Yeah, sure.
Look, try and go back to sleep.
You seem like you had a long day.
Don't dial again, please.

It's coming from right outside.

Ma'am, I'm sending

You may [inaudible] the

Though you may face

I checked in earlier with Wendy.
She works at the front there.
Nice try ma'am.
