Waring tracks her to New York, where she is seen at a boxing match with Nick Jones. Joey Hagan, an associate of Alexa, is then found dead in an alley behind Kay's apartment building.

Listen for: Pay attention to who each character says they saw or knew, and how Mike Waring tests their stories against one another.
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.
