1.  The Four of Us Are Dying
First Aired: 1 January 1960

2.  There is a fifth dimension.
Beyond that which is known to man. 
			  
			Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
3.  It is a dimension as vast as space. 
			  
			Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
4.  And as timeless as infinity. 
			  
			Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
5.  It is the middle ground
between light and shadow... 
			  
			Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
6.  between science and superstition. 
			  
			Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
7.  And it lies between
the pit of man's fears... 
			  
			Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
8.  and the summit of his knowledge. 
			  
			Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
9.  This is the dimension
of imagination. 
			  
			Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
10.  It is an area which we call:
The Twilight Zone. 
			  
			Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
11.  His name is Arch Hammer.
He's 36 years old. 
			  
			Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
12.  He's been a salesman, a con man,
a bookie and a part-time bartender. 
			  
			Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
13.  This is a cheap man, with a
cheapness that goes past the suit. 
			  
			Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
14.  A cheapness of mind,
a cheapness of taste. 
			  
			Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
15.  A tawdry little shine on
the seat of his conscience. 
			  
			Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
16.  And a dark, groomed squint in a world
whose sunlight hasn't reached him. 
			  
			Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
17.  But Mr Hammer has a talent
discovered at a very early age. 
			  
			Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
18.  This much he does have. 
			  
			Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
19.  He can make his face change. 
			  
			Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
20.  He can twitch a muscle.
Move a jaw. 
			  
			Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
21.  Concentrate on the cast
of his eyes... 
			  
			Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
22.  and he can change his face. 
			  
			Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
23.  He can change it into
anything he wants. 
			  
			Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
24.  Mr Archie Hammer, jack of all
trades, has just checked in... 
			  
			Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
25.  with two bags, some newspaper
clippings, a most odd talent... 
			  
			Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
26.  and a master plan to
destroy some lives. 
			  
			Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
27.  Hey, Maggie.
- Hey, sport, unravel the flesh. 
			  
			Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
28.  Come, have a little drink.
- I'd love one. 
			  
			Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
29.  Very, very solitary. All by my
lonesome if you don't mind. 
			  
			Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
30.  If you don't drink well,
don't drink. 
			  
			Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
31.  Johnny. 
			  
			Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
32.  Johnny, are you a ghost?
- Sure, a ghost. 
			  
			Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
33.  I just came down to check the
mourners, read the obituaries. 
			  
			Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
34.  How did they feel about the
deceased? What kind of tears? 
			  
			Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
35.  You came to the right place, Johnny. 
			  
			Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
36.  I have a roomful of buckets. 
			  
			Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
37.  I heard it on the radio one night.
Just like that. 
			  
			Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
38.  'Death as it must come to all men... 
			  
			Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
39.  'came to talented
musician Johnny Foster. 
			  
			Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
40.  Tragic accident, train hitting car.' 
			  
			Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
41.  I just sat there and I cried. 
			  
			Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
42.  And the... 
			  
			Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
43.  I washed my face and... 
			  
			Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
44.  put on some makeup and went to work. 
			  
			Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
45.  But everything had changed for me. 
			  
			Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
46.  My repertoire became very limited. 
			  
			Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
47.  Only booze. 
			  
			Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
48.  Only sad songs for piano or bourbon. 
			  
			Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
49.  Oh, Johnny.
I don't care if you are a ghost. 
			  
			Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
50.  Nah. It was another guy. 
			  
			Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
51.  My car, my suit.
Maybe we even had the same dentist. 
			  
			Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
52.  Why didn't you tell people that? 
			  
			Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
53.  I wanted to get way from the world. 
			  
			Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
54.  From that. 
			  
			Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
55.  I decided to trade in the old name.
Turn it in for something different. 
			  
			Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
56.  You were always a funny guy.
Way-out Johnny Foster. 
			  
			Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
57.  Well... 
			  
			Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
58.  are you satisfied with the reaction? 
			  
			Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
59.  Mourning becomes you, Mag. 
			  
			Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
60.  Me and Electra. 
			  
			Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
61.  So how long you with us?
Is this a stop between trains? 
			  
			Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
62.  In a way, for me, it is. For you,
it's get-out-of-town night. 
			  
			Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
63.  You've got time for six
choruses and a check-out? 
			  
			Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
64.  You're going with me, Mag. 
			  
			Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
65.  We'll go to Chicago or Detroit. 
			  
			Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
66.  We'll go to San Francisco, huh? 
			  
			Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
67.  We'll have a ball. Everything
by ear. But great, Maggie, 
			  
			Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
68.  Just the two of us. 
			  
			Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
69.  Oh, hey, Johnny, I love you. 
			  
			Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
70.  You name it, you've got it. 
			  
			Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
71.  Hey, Johnny. 
			  
			Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
72.  You put me back together gain.
And I love you. 
			  
			Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
73.  You finish up here. 
			  
			Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
74.  You tell him you're cutting out. 
			  
			Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
75.  I'll meet you at the railroad
station. I'll get the tickets. 
			  
			Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
76.  12:06, Maggie.
Westbound for Chicago. 
			  
			Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
77.  Be there. 
			  
			Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
78.  I'll be there, Johnny. 
			  
			Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
79.  Johnny.
Hey, Johnny. 
			  
			Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
80.  Didn't you tangle with a train? 
			  
			Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
81.  Man, I thought you was
out of the world. 
			  
			Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
82.  We all got the wrong word. 
			  
			Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
83.  They said you were removed by a
locomotive. It's so great to see you. 
			  
			Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
84.  Let me light you a cigarette. 
			  
			Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
85.  I'll take the light but
you got the wrong guy. 
			  
			Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
86.  I'm really sorry, buddy, I... 
			  
			Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
87.  I thought you were the guy
I'd just seen in the bar. 
			  
			Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
88.  I'm really sorry. 
			  
			Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
89.  Why not a beautiful dame?
Why not? 
			  
			Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
90.  I never had a dish like that. 
			  
			Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
91.  I've never been loved like that.
Why shouldn't I? 
			  
			Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
92.  Yeah, Maggie. 
			  
			Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
93.  Why not? 
			  
			Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
94.  How was the water, Baby?
Was it cold? 
			  
			Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
95.  When did it hurt?
When you laughed? 
			  
			Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
96.  Excuse me, sir. Mr Penell is
not at home this evening. 
			  
			Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
97.  Who is it, Ramon?
- It's me, Mr Penell. 
			  
			Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
98.  Picture tubes are expensive. 
			  
			Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
99.  You can always get yourself
another beer. Imported, isn't it? 
			  
			Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
100.  I always liked your taste.
The taste of a very rich man. 
			  
			Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
101.  Neat but not gaudy.
Please. Don't. 
			  
			Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
102.  Just sit down there and we'll talk. 
			  
			Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
103.  We'll have a business meeting,
you and me. 
			  
			Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
104.  Virgil, this is the
happiest day of my life. 
			  
			Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
105.  Then why do you look like somebody
with lemon juice in your beer? 
			  
			Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
106.  No, you're not so happy. 
			  
			Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
107.  You got no reason to be happy.
Believe me, Mr Penell, I know. 
			  
			Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
108.  You've got no reason to be happy.
No reason at all. 
			  
			Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
109.  If you could have kept me in the
river, a cold item without a voice... 
			  
			Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
110.  then you could have been happy. But
this dead body came back to bite you. 
			  
			Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
111.  Virg, you got me wrong, Virg.
- I held up my end of the bargain. 
			  
			Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
112.  And instead of the payoff,
all I got was the river. 
			  
			Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
113.  And that river was cold. Far too
cold for this time of the year. 
			  
			Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
114.  Lousy swimming. Especially when
you're almost out of blood. 
			  
			Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
115.  I brought back a satchel for you.
There was a lot of money in it. 
			  
			Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
116.  It was a real risky job. I figure
my cut is more than a cold swim. 
			  
			Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
117.  Virg, listen. I got your cut, kid.
It's right over there in the desk. 
			  
			Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
118.  I'll take care of my own cut,
Mr Penell. What drawer? 
			  
			Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
119.  The center drawer.
There's an envelope full of money. 
			  
			Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
120.  Why don't you let me get it for you?
- Why don't you shut up? 
			  
			Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
121.  You said this was for me?
- Twenty percent of it, Virg. 
			  
			Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
122.  The cut is still the same.
I always live up to my contracts. 
			  
			Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
123.  Only now there's interest. For
floating face down I charge interest. 
			  
			Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
124.  For getting three bullets in
my belly I charge interest. 
			  
			Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
125.  I'll take it all. 
			  
			Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
126.  Virg.
- Yeah? 
			  
			Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
127.  Did somebody fish you out before...? 
			  
			Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
128.  Did somebody fish me out before I'd
had it? Is that the question? 
			  
			Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
129.  No, Mr Penell. That's not
the way it happened at all. 
			  
			Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
130.  I'm a ghost. 
			  
			Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
131.  Get that guy, he's a fake.
Get him. 
			  
			Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
132.  I've got to make it.
Change my face. 
			  
			Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
133.  Gotta look different. 
			  
			Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
134.  Think of a face. 
			  
			Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
135.  What the... 
			  
			Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
136.  What did I do? 
			  
			Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
137.  Why are you guys trying to
finger me? I mean, what goes? 
			  
			Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
138.  I didn't do nothing to you guys. 
			  
			Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
139.  Nothing, buddy.
We thought you were somebody else. 
			  
			Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
140.  Andy. 
			  
			Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
141.  Andy.
- Who? 
			  
			Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
142.  Andy, what's the matter with you? 
			  
			Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
143.  Oh, Andy. Yeah, I get it. 
			  
			Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
144.  What's new with you?
How's the journalism business? 
			  
			Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
145.  What's the matter with you?
Something wrong with your mind? 
			  
			Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
146.  You punchy, Andy? 
			  
			Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
147.  Yeah, I'm punchy.
Why, am I supposed to recognize you? 
			  
			Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
148.  Yeah. I guess you would. 
			  
			Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
149.  We met someplace before, huh?
- That's right. 
			  
			Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
150.  It was a long time ago, though.
I don't remember you, old man. 
			  
			Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
151.  How do I know you?
- How do you know me? 
			  
			Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
152.  As a son should know his father. 
			  
			Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
153.  What kind of a game are
you playing, Andy? 
			  
			Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
154.  I'm your son?
- You were. 
			  
			Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
155.  Before you ran out. Before you
broke your mother's heart. 
			  
			Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
156.  Before you did dirt to a sweet,
decent little girl... 
			  
			Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
157.  who would have cut off
an arm for you. 
			  
			Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
158.  But now you ain't my son.
Now you ain't nothing to me. 
			  
			Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
159.  I hate your guts.
Do you hear me? 
			  
			Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
160.  I hate your guts. 
			  
			Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
161.  If things go down hard,
you just walk away, huh, Andy? 
			  
			Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
162.  People get in your way
you just kick them away, huh? 
			  
			Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
163.  Hey, everybody,
look what we got here. 
			  
			Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
164.  Andy Marshak. A dirty little punk.
Look at the dirty little punk. 
			  
			Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
165.  Everybody, look.
Spit in his mother's eye, this one. 
			  
			Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
166.  Ruined a girl's life, this one.
Hurt people all the time. 
			  
			Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
167.  Hey, everybody, look. 
			  
			Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
168.  Look at him.
Look at the punk. 
			  
			Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
169.  Look at Andy Marshak. 
			  
			Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
170.  Look at the monster. 
			  
			Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
171.  Look at my son. 
			  
			Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
172.  That where you generally stand,
behind the door? 
			  
			Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
173.  When somebody I don't know
unlocks my door, yeah. 
			  
			Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
174.  Arch Hammer, huh? Detroit, Michigan.
- I never been there. 
			  
			Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
175.  Neither was Henry Ford.
You're down for a bunco rap, Hammer. 
			  
			Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
176.  I gotta put you on the book. You can
make two calls on the station. 
			  
			Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
177.  Can I get my coat? 
			  
			Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
178.  Be my guest. 
			  
			Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
179.  Where is it, Hammer? Up on the roof?
- In the closet. 
			  
			Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
180.  Let's go. 
			  
			Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
181.  Hey, wait a minute. 
			  
			Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
182.  What do you... I'm sorry. Did you
see a guy come out of there? 
			  
			Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
183.  No. 
			  
			Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
184.  Hey, old man.
- You've got such a debt, Andy. 
			  
			Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
185.  You owe her for so many years. 
			  
			Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
186.  You owe her for so many things. 
			  
			Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
187.  And now, you pay off, son.
- Hey, now. Wait a minute. 
			  
			Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
188.  I swear to you,
you got the wrong guy. 
			  
			Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
189.  I got the right guy.
- No, please, wait. 
			  
			Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
190.  Put the gun down now.
I'll show you, honest. 
			  
			Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
191.  But I gotta think.
I gotta concentrate. 
			  
			Copy !req
