Their search for the truth leads Guthrie to the Phoenix Hotel in Vermont, where he meets a group of skiing guests and grows suspicious of several of them.

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.
