he said he was going to.

You're shitting me.

Do you know where

Camden College is?

Yeah, it's just off 127.

Why?

Oh, no, don't tell me.

I thought you said

the kid was just nuts.

Well, then why did he die?

Please, Charlie.

You know what?

You're gonna end up

in the dumpster, man.

I'm tellin...

At the time that he actually...

when you... what you...

pronounced dead,

yes, there was lots of people.

But when you actually say

it went down...

it's what we call, you know...

what they call coded...

nobody was there

at that moment.

There was nothing out of the ordinary

at his residence.

He seemed to be a healthy kid.

There is times that...

truly you say we missed that.

You know, I could name several...

of course, I won't...

but you think,

you know, this is...

we truly missed something,

but this time we did not.

I mean, this was not...

it was truly a mystery.

Hi there.

Hi. Can I help you?

Yeah, I was wondering

if there's a teacher here

named Dr. Ravenscroft.

Never heard of him.

(SIGHS) Oh, okay.

Um, can you tell me where I could

look up information on someone,

like, scientific papers he might

have published, that kind of thing?

Right there.

Science periodicals.

But you're not allowed

to check them out

unless you're faculty

or a student.

Yeah, but I can make copies.

Not unless you're faculty

or a student.

Yeah, well, I'm neither.

Thank you very much.

Say that again.

- Thank you very much?

- Hey.

I'm sorry, but are you

on the radio?

I am, actually.

- Charlie Crowe, KZTO.

- "The Night Shift," yes.

I listen to your show

all the time.

It's the coolest.

And you have the sexiest voice.

Well, uh, thank you very much.

You just don't really look the way

I imagined you would.

Yeah.

Thanks again.

Wait, question.

That kid on your show,

they say he died in the hospital.

- Is that true?

- Yeah, he did.

Freaky.

Yeah.

Well, I'll tell you what.

Go ahead and use the copiers.

I won't tell.

Shh.

(BEEPING)

Maggie, somebody jammed

the copier again.

(GROANS)

(BEEPING)

CHARLIE:
This is KZTO's

"The Night Shift."

If you've been listening,

then you know we had

a rather dramatic incident

on the air the last time

I was with you,

so tonight we're gonna

take some time

to talk about what's on

everybody's mind.

We'll open up the lines.

Caller, you're on the air.

MAN:
Hey, yo.

HEY:
Maggie,

YOU gonna lock up?

I'm just finishing up

a couple things.

Good night, Carl.

(DOOR CLOSES)

(BIRD CALLS)

- Mag!

- Jesus! Brit.

(LAUGHS)

- Jesus.

You scared the sh*t out of me.

Oh, my God, that was so funny.

I seriously just pissed.

Why did you do that?

I'm so freaked out right now.

- This kid just died.
