The Passenger

The passenger is Edward Hines who is asleep on a bus taking him home. When he wakes up, he sees a heavy set man strangling a woman at a hotel window. The murderer spots him.

Hines does his civic duty and goes to the police to report the murder. Only they are sceptical, he could had just imagined it all.

So Hines visits Peter Gunn, now that he thinks the murderer might be tailing him.

It's not long before Gunn is investigating Hine's death as well, but he has a few other questions whirring in his mind. While Lieutenant Jacoby finally finds a dead body of a woman.

An enthralling third series opener. Still heavy on visuals. There is comedy with Jacoby sitting on a newly varnished table and a talkative hobo reminiscing of his once prosperous days.

In the end the deaths were all for mundane even trivial reasons.
