A school teacher researching the gold rush takes a perilous journey through Death Valley. Stopping for gas she picks up some supplies, fuel, advice, and an escaped convict who informs her that he has to find his great great grandfather in order to kill him to ensure that he will never be born. Hrmmm. (Excel is unable to resolve a circular reference)

Told mostly in a flashback, and it included a flashback within that flashback. Made my head hurt.
Ron
Ralph Bell is so good here and quite chilling as the carjacker. I love the Western twang that he assumes for the role, lol!
Amy
A fairly good story, but as Joey mentions there is a circular reference that makes "wibbly wobbly timey-wimey stuff" (as a certain Doctor might say).
Alec
This episode is worth a listen except for the poor sound quality. I found myself straining to hear it.
Christine
One of my favorite episodes. Ralph Bell is excellent- allowing the listener to both fear and sympathize with his character.

AN AWFUL episode. Ralph Bell delivers an excruciating monotone pathetically poor attempt at some coerced dialect that sent me scrambling to aid his demise-- and feeling sorry for his deceased relative. If I were his victim, I would have taken my chances walking Death Valley.
DONE in an unbearable 14 minutes. Save yourself.
