[Caller] The thing is, I mean, it's been,

it's coming up on six months now,

and still no clues.

That's what people are worried about.

[Radio DJ] Thanks for your call, Jen.

You do make some good points.

We're coming up on the end,

we still got time for a few more calls

8, triple 500 zero is the number to call.

Switchboard again, tonight is lit up.

[Caller] Hi, I'm just a first time caller.

Why don't you show a bit of compassion

for the McCann family?

And what they must be going through.

Everyone seems to forget...

[Radio DJ] Absolutely.

If you're referring to the family, first McCann,

and look, I think there's just always going to be

a certain level of sensationalism.

[Caller] Yeah, but I mean, you got to admit, David,

it's not, you know, your listeners know,

Your listeners are all just downtown.

- Most of our callers. - Not just downtown.

This whole state has had a reputation

- for this kind of thing. - Oh come on,

not that old true story.

Urban myth.

It's urban folk lore, folk lore.

[Caller] Call it folk lore if you want.

[Radio DJ] That's not what I said, is it.

I just think there's gonna be listeners out there

who think you're over generalizing it.

Next you, you wanna get out the flaming torches

and the pitch forks.

[Caller] We're all a little spooked.

I've got a family member

who's a police officer who was on the scene

when they found that girl,

he'll tell you what they found was not pretty.

[Radio DJ] That doesn't mean that the perpetrators

- are entitled to... - No, but I say

hang them from the highest tree.

Hang them from the highest tree.

[Radio DJ] You're entitled to your opinion

Maddie,

god you scared me.

What is it?

I can't sleep.

Why not?

There's something under my bed.

What, are you scared of moth balls?

It's not funny.

Come on then.

Maddie.

[Maddie] No.

Maddie, get down here.

See, nothing there.

Come on, back to bed.

But I heard something under there.

I did.

What did you hear?

Funny noise like this.

(low groaning)

(chuckles)

They might come back, Sam.

If they do, just yell out and I'll deal with it.

[Maddie] How?

I'm your sister, Maddie,

I would never let anyone hurt you.

But how would I get rid of them?

I'd kill 'em with my bare hands.

No,

I wanna know.

What happens if they killed you first?

I'd find a way, Maddie,

okay?

Come on, it's late.

Go to sleep.

(door knocking)

(door knocking)

Sorry to bother you but

my car has broken down.

Could I use your phone?

[Sam] Don't you have a mobile?

Battery's flat.

It's just not my night.

Sorry, I can't let you in.

It'll just take a minute.

Can you wait for my mom?

She'll be home any minute now.

Sam?

Who is it?

There's something in there.
