Listen for: Pay attention to the stranger's repeated questions about Joey Carino and where Walt came from, and to the phone calls that keep going wrong.
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.
