1. Judgment Night First Aired: 4 December 1959

2. There is a fifth dimension. Beyond that which is known to man.

3. It is a dimension as vast as space.

4. And as timeless as infinity.

5. It is the middle ground between light and shadow...

6. between science and superstition.

7. And it lies between the pit of man's fears...

8. and the summit of his knowledge.

9. This is the dimension of imagination.

10. It is an area which we call: The Twilight Zone.

11. Her name is the S.S. Queen of Glasgow. Her registry: British.

12. Gross tonnage: 5,000. Indeterminate.

13. She's one day out of Liverpool. Her destination: New York.

14. Duly recorded on this ship's log is the sailing time, the destination...

15. weather conditions, temperature, position.

16. But what is never recorded in a log...

17. is the fear that washes over a deck like fog and ocean spray.

18. Fear like the strokes of engine pistons. Each like a heartbeat.

19. Parceling out every hour into breathless minutes of watching...

20. Waiting and dreading.

21. For the year is 1942.

22. And this particular ship has lost its convoy.

23. It travels alone like an aged blind thing through the unfriendly dark.

24. Stalked by unseen periscopes of steel killers.

25. The Queen of Glasgow is a frightened ship.

26. And she carries with her a premonition of death.

27. Lights in the salon. Let's blackout down there.

28. Sir?

29. They'll be finished serving dinner soon. You'd best go in to eat.

30. Thank you.

31. Thank you.

32. Are you Lanser?

33. Jerry Potter. We looked for you at dinner.

34. Saw your name on the purser's list.

35. The captain wasn't able to join us tonight. Come over and have dessert.

36. Thank you, no. I'm not hungry. - How about some coffee, sir?

37. Yes, I would like a cup of coffee.

38. Here's your seat right over here, Mr Lanser. The more the merrier.

39. We could do with a bit of merriment.

40. I'll do the honors. This is Major Devereaux.

41. And his secretary, Ms Stanley.

42. Are you heading home or away from home?

43. I'm heading away from home.

44. What do you do, Lanser? - Me?

45. I saw your name. I tried to figure out what you looked like.

46. It's a game I play. I try to connect a face with a name.

47. I thought you were an old language professor from Oxford or something.

48. Ah, here comes the captain.

49. No, no. Please, don't get up.

50. I haven't much time. I just wanted to say hello to some of you.

51. I do apologize for not being able to get down to dinner.

52. We have a miserable fog out there and rather eat on the bridge.

53. Is the rest of the convoy in sight? - No, then they had to be very close.

54. That fog out there is very thick. We hope to make contact tomorrow.

55. I'd feel much safer if we were in convoy.

56. I can almost see those wolf packs converging on us.

57. They never converge on a single ship, Major Devereaux.

58. The principle of the submarine pack is based on the convoy attack.

59. Yes, our principal danger would lie in a single submarine.

60. I'd rather they go after us in one of those pocket battleships.

61. That you can see. Not a skulking, crummy tin fish deep under water.

62. If you're being followed, you'll see the sub, Mr Potter.

63. It will surface. They won't use all of their torpedoes on us.

64. They consider everything, shell us with immunity and sink us at will.

65. You'll forgive me, Mr... - This is Mr Lanser, captain.

66. Mr Lanser, but you sound rather like a U-boat commander.

67. Forgive me. That was clumsy of me.

68. Did I get any on you, Ms Stanley? - No, but you a lot on yourself there.

69. That's quite all right. I said it's all right!

70. Yes, sir. As you say, sir.

71. Can I get you some more coffee? - No, thank you.

72. Won't you please sit down, Mr Lanser?

73. I think we can start to get better acquainted now.

74. First of all, I hope you're all as comfortable as possible.

75. This ship was not designed to carry passengers.

76. And I hope you'll bear with any little inconveniences.

77. You're with the American government? - War production board.

78. And where is home, Mr Potter? - Chicago, Illinois. The windy city.

79. I'll be glad to get to see her, too.

80. And you, Mr Lanser? Where is home for you?

81. Home?

82. I was born in Frankfurt.

83. Frankfurt, like in Germany? - Yes, Germany.

84. How long had you been in England? - How long?

85. Not very long. And not long at all.

86. Please forgive me. I'm not feeling well today.

87. I think I'd better go to my cabin.

88. That's too bad. I was hoping we might get up a poker game.

89. Perhaps later, if you feel better.

90. Good night.

91. Ms Stanley?

92. The fog carries a chill with it, doesn't it?

93. Have we met before? - I don't think so.

94. You'll forgive me. You looked so familiar.

95. But for that matter, they all did.

96. Mr Lanser, are you all right? - Yes, yes, I'm all right.

97. I just have these crazy feelings. - What?

98. A feeling of doing and saying things.

99. A feeling that you've done them before? I've had that feeling too.

100. Being in a room and being able to swear that you'd been there before.

101. Even the conversation seems identical to another time.

102. And the people? - Yes, and the people, too.

103. How odd. I don't seem to recall...

104. I don't seem to recall getting on this ship

105. Or anything else for that matter.

106. It's suddenly as if I woke up and found myself standing on deck...

107. and hearing your voices coming from the salon.

108. Like amnesia? - No, I know that I'm Carl Lanser.

109. I am Carl Lanser. I was born in Frankfurt, Germany.

110. I am in the... - In the what?

111. In the what? - You were going to tell me.

112. You were in something or other. - Who was I?

113. I don't remember. - Perhaps if you got some sleep.

114. No, sleep couldn't help me. I couldn't get to sleep. I feel...

115. As if I'm in a nightmare. It's so strange.

116. I feel as if there's disaster out there.

117. Doom. We are being stalked.

118. I know we're being stalked.

119. There is a sub out there, a U-boat. I know.

120. I know it's there. I know it.

121. Mr Lanser? - I'm Lanser.

122. The captain's asks if you'd come with me to the bridge.

123. He'd like to have a few words with you. Will you follow me, please?

124. Thank you for coming up. Would you mind answering a few questions?

125. No. Not at all.

126. First of all, would you mind showing me your passport?

127. My passport? - Yes, if you don't mind.

128. On our passenger manifest your passport number was not put down.

129. I don't have my wallet with me here. I must have left it in my cabin.

130. It's all right. Sometime in the next few days you show it to me.

131. Are you all right? Is there anything that you want to tell us?

132. There is very little that I can tell you as I don't remember anything.

133. I don't really know how I got on this ship.

134. I seem to remember only odd, disjointed things.

135. I know that my name is Carl Lanser.

136. I know that I was born in Frankfurt. Go on, go on, how?

137. It seems to be all that I know.

138. At the table you had a remarkable working knowledge of German U-boats.

139. Could that give you a thought?

140. No, it couldn't. It doesn't seem to.

141. Have a good night's rest. We'll talk tomorrow, you and I.

142. That's all, Mr Lanser. Goodnight.

143. Odd. Very odd. I'd say that he bears watching.

144. Send a steward to his cabin. I want to have a look at his passport.

145. Right away, sir.

146. I believe that's it, sir. Anything else I can do to help?

147. Oh, I didn't see this.

148. War souvenir, sir? - Beg your pardon?

149. This, sir. I was wondering if it was a war souvenir.

150. Yes. German naval officer's cap. Submarine commander, sir.

151. Don't touch anything. - Sorry, I wanted hang it up for you.

152. That won't be necessary. I'll hang it up myself.

153. McCloud, captain here. We've simply got to have more revs.

154. I need maximum speed for 12 hours. - These engines needed an overhaul,

155. Instead of that, they're getting worked to death.

156. All right, McCloud, do what you can.

157. What do you think? Pretty cheerful deal we've got here.

158. Reduce speed and give those engines a break and we don't stand a chance.

159. Run them at maximum and they'll seize up within two hours.

160. And they're out there. God knows, they're out there

161. Waiting like vultures.

162. Begging your pardon, but it's very late.

163. They don't sound right.

164. The engines. They sound labored.

165. They always sound like that, sir. You get used to it after a bit.

166. Ha! You should hear McCloud on the subject. He's the engineer.

167. He says that these engines was originally designed for Lord Nelson.

168. It's five after twelve.

169. Five past twelve.

170. 1:15. - Beg your pardon, sir?

171. 1:15. Something's going to happen at 1:15.

172. Something's going to happen, sir? - I really don't know.

173. Except 1:15. It sticks in my mind.

174. Tray to the bridge, please. - Be done in a minute, sir.

175. I'll wait.

176. The engines have stopped.

177. Why have the engines stopped?

178. It's probably just routine, sir. - Nonsense. They've broken down.

179. Oh, I don't think it's serious, sir. - You don't think it's serious?

180. Adrift in waters like these without any power, that's very serious.

181. We're absolutely defenseless.

182. They'll be repaired, sir. We'll be underway again soon.

183. No, we won't be underway soon.

184. We will drift...

185. until 1:15.

186. The U-boat's coming. We have to get the engines started.

187. No, we must abandon ship. Yes! That's what we must do.

188. We must abandon ship, yes! We must abandon ship.

189. It's here! That's the U-boat out there!

190. The U-boat's here.

191. The U-boat's here!

192. We've got to get out of here, everybody!

193. We have got to leave the ship. Everybody.

194. Don't you hear me? Are you out of your minds?

195. There's a U-boat here. I saw it. It's going to sink us.

196. Do I have to grab you and put you on deck?

197. Do I have to grab you and put you in the lifeboats?

198. Do I have to knock you unconscious or...

199. Queen of Glasgow.

200. Potter.

201. Ms Stanley.

202. Major Devereaux.

203. Captain.

204. Steward.

205. Feuer, frei.

206. Feuer, frei.

207. Feuer, frei.

208. A good catch tonight, huh? The Queen of Glasgow. A 5,000 tonner.

209. Oh, you have nerves, Mueller. - No, not really, sir.

210. A little shaky, perhaps. - Why?

211. Sir, there were people on that ship. Women, too.

212. We gave them no warning.

213. You'd have us give them warning? So they can signal their position?

214. Which happens to be our position too.

215. You have sentiment, but no brains.

216. You're an old woman, you know that?

217. I just found it difficult to... - To do what?

218. To reconcile the killing of men and women without any warning.

219. It makes me wonder if we are not damned now.

220. In the eyes of the British Admiralty we most certainly are.

221. I mean, in the eyes of God.

222. You're also a religious fool, and perhaps a mystic at that.

223. Suppose we are damned? What will happen then?

224. I've had dreams about it.

225. Perhaps there's a special kind of hell for people like us.

226. Perhaps to be damned is to have a fate like the people on that ship.

227. To suffer as they suffered. And to die as they die.

228. You are a mystic, Leutnant.

229. We ride the ghost of that ship every night.

230. Every night, for eternity.

231. They could die only once.

232. Just once. But...

233. we could die a hundred million times.

234. We'd ride the ghost of that ship every night.

235. Every night for eternity, Herr Kapitan.

236. A ghost of that ship.

237. The S.S. Queen of Glasgow heading for New York

238. And the time is 1942.

239. For one man, it is always 1942.

240. Lights in the salon. Let's blackout down there.

241. And this man will ride the ghost of that ship every night for eternity.

242. This is what is meant by 'Paying the fiddler.'

243. This is the comeuppance awaiting every man...

244. when the ledger of his life is opened and examined.

245. The tally made and then the price paid.

246. For Carl Lanser, ex-captain, Navy of the third reich...

247. this is the penalty. This is the justice meted out.

248. This is Judgment Night in the Twilight Zone.
