Death Cell

A young woman named Ellen Summer escapes from a private asylum and runs into Brady on a train, begging him to help her, she claims to have evidence that could save an innocent man who is sentenced to hang for a murder he did not commit. Skeptical at first, Brady decides to meet with the man himself, and when they both tell the same story, he decides to investigate further... Like many episodes from the first season, Death Cell is a well written story, but would be more suited to Sherlock Holmes or an Agatha Christie detective than the Invisible Man, and there is nothing he does that a visible man could not have done. Unintentionally humourous for the way that Brady pushes his weight around throughout the story, bursting into people's apartments and assaulting doctors.
