What happens
Elizabeth Whitehill, a young woman driving a powerful foreign sports car through Nevada, picks up a drenched hitchhiker named Alex Peck on a lonely road. Shortly after, she meets a pair of men posing as pollsters who seem to be searching for him. Alex tells her he is a former agent who wants to come home to America, and she decides to help him reach the police. The story follows the hunt that unfolds as she tries to keep him safe while the men pursue them across the West.

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.
