• Pat Novak: Agnes Bolton
    2024/12/17
    Original Air Date: February 2, 2010

    Pat Novak is hired to follow a woman, and while he’s doing it, she drops dead in a phone booth, and once again Hellman puts the finger on Novak.

    Original Air Date: June 5, 1949

    Hellmann lifted his head up and laid him across the seat. The light was bad, but you could see a little of his face. It was watering around his forehead, and the damp hair was plastering around his hat brim. The perspiration had broken up and started to run down his forehead like tears. And you got the idea he cried out of his hairline instead of his eyes.
