Listen for: The tense cat-and-mouse game aboard the bus as Valentine tries to outwit McLean and the other antagonists who want to stop him from reaching Bixby; a physical confrontation that nearly forces the bus off a mountain road.

Written from the episode itself; it never gives away the ending. Every recording is remastered for the stream: cleaned of rumble, hiss and mains hum (and the old TV whine where we found it), then levelled in two passes to steady broadcast loudness, so one show is never quieter than the next.
