Hollywood. Late 1943.
The Nazi spy has been captured.
The immediate danger appears to be over.
Yet something far more mysterious has quietly begun.
While celebrating another Allied success, OSS investigators Sterling Blake and Veronica Vale discover that they are no longer hunting an enemy agent…
They have become the ones being watched.
A beautiful blonde woman appears again and again at Hollywood premieres, studio receptions and private gatherings.
No name.
No official identity.
No known employer.
Yet somehow…
she always seems to know exactly where they will be.
As America and the Soviet Union remain wartime allies, an unsettling question slowly emerges:
Could another intelligence war already be beginning… before World War II has even ended?
Inspired by real historical tensions surrounding intelligence operations during the final years of the war, The Woman Who Was Watching explores the uncertain moment when yesterday’s allies may already have been preparing for tomorrow’s conflict.
The episode concludes with an original jazz film-noir song:
“The Woman Who Was Watching.”
