Copy !req
3. There is a fifth dimension.
Beyond that which is known to man.
Copy !req
4. It is a dimension as vast as space.
Copy !req
5. And as timeless as infinity.
Copy !req
6. It is the middle ground
between light and shadow...
Copy !req
7. between science and superstition.
Copy !req
8. And it lies between
the pit of man's fears...
Copy !req
9. and the summit of his knowledge.
Copy !req
10. This is the dimension
of imagination.
Copy !req
11. It is an area which we call:
The Twilight Zone.
Copy !req
12. Parkinson, chemical warfare.
Copy !req
13. Amberley, hydrogen armaments.
Copy !req
14. Mills, germ warfare research.
Copy !req
15. Sturka, hydrogen armament.
You boys are pretty busy up there.
Copy !req
16. Very busy.
Copy !req
17. Hold the light, will you, Sturka?
Copy !req
18. Long days, huh?
-Long days.
Copy !req
19. Your department is going full blast,
isn't it?
Copy !req
20. It's really coming, boy.
And a big one, too.
Copy !req
21. While we're talking here,
the military is getting all set.
Copy !req
22. Got it all mapped out, I bet.
Copy !req
23. Talk is 48 hours.
You wait and see if I'm not right.
Copy !req
24. 48 hours, we'll have them aloft.
Then, whoosh, up, over and whammo.
Copy !req
25. There goes the enemy.
Obliterated, finished.
Copy !req
26. What are they doing in the meantime?
-What do you mean?
Copy !req
27. Probably retaliating the
best way they can.
Copy !req
28. It's a big waste of time.
We get the first licks.
Copy !req
29. So they can't do much.
-They can go whoosh, up and whammo.
Copy !req
30. Absolutely. But not so many.
Not so skillfully carried out.
Copy !req
31. So instead of losing 50 million
people, we lose only 35?
Copy !req
32. You a defeatist, Sturka?
That's dangerous thinking.
Copy !req
33. You better mind what you say.
-And what I think, too, huh?
Copy !req
34. Yeah. And what you think.
Copy !req
35. Good night, Carling.
See you tomorrow.
Copy !req
36. Quitting time at the plant.
Time for supper now.
Copy !req
37. Time for families.
Time for a cool drink on a porch.
Copy !req
38. Time for the rustle of leaf-laden
trees that screen out the moon.
Copy !req
39. And underneath it all,
behind the eyes of the men...
Copy !req
40. hanging invisible over
the summer night...
Copy !req
41. is a horror without words. For this
is the stillness before a storm.
Copy !req
42. This is the eve of the end.
Copy !req
43. Hello, dad.
-Hello, baby. Where's your mom?
Copy !req
44. She's out in the back trying to
urge the radishes out of the ground.
Copy !req
45. No, not before we have our dance.
Copy !req
46. Some other time, honey.
Copy !req
47. Dad?
-What, Jody?
Copy !req
48. What's the matter?
-Nothing serious.
Copy !req
49. Just feeling my years, I guess.
Copy !req
50. You, my darling,
your beautiful face...
Copy !req
51. and your maturing ways. I suddenly
see that my youth is in the attic.
Copy !req
52. Spread out over a few photo albums.
-Is that all?
Copy !req
53. Is that all?
That's quite enough.
Copy !req
54. Dad? Don't you like your job?
Is that the problem?
Copy !req
55. It's all right.
It's a job.
Copy !req
56. I mean just having to work on
the kind of things that you do.
Copy !req
57. Fever bombs and hydrogen bombs
and gas and things like that.
Copy !req
58. No, I'm just a cog in a wheel, Jody.
Copy !req
59. I mean, look at it this way. In one
bomb there are a thousand pieces.
Copy !req
60. And every piece requires a
team of 50, 60, 70 people.
Copy !req
61. Looking at it like that, I'm not
quite as responsible as if I...
Copy !req
62. Hello, darling.
Copy !req
63. Everyone I've talked to lately
they've been noticing it.
Copy !req
64. Noticing what, Jo?
-That something's wrong.
Copy !req
65. That something's...
Something's in the air.
Copy !req
66. That something's going to happen.
Copy !req
67. And everybody's afraid.
Everyone, dad, why?
Copy !req
68. People are afraid because
they make themselves afraid.
Copy !req
69. They're afraid because they subvert
every great thing ever discovered.
Copy !req
70. Every fine idea ever thought, every
marvelous invention ever conceived.
Copy !req
71. They subvert it, Jody.
They make it crooked and devious.
Copy !req
72. And far too late they ask
themselves the question: Why?
Copy !req
73. And then it's too late.
Everything is too late!
Copy !req
74. Invite Jerry Riden and his wife
over tonight, will you, Eve?
Copy !req
75. We'll have some cards or something.
Copy !req
76. Isn't Jerry out of town? Isn't he
testing some sort of aircraft?
Copy !req
77. No, he came back this morning.
Copy !req
78. I told him we'd phone them.
Copy !req
79. You'll be there, Jody?
He'd like to see you.
Copy !req
80. I'm sorry, I can't.
I've, I've got a date.
Copy !req
81. Maybe I could get in a little early.
-Break it. I'd like you home tonight.
Copy !req
82. But dad, I can't...
All right, dad.
Copy !req
83. Jerry has some very interesting
stories. He flies those...
Copy !req
84. You'd might like to have some cards.
To take your mind off things.
Copy !req
85. Bill? What's happening?
Copy !req
86. What do you feel is happening?
Copy !req
87. I have so much fear inside me I...
I can't give it words.
Copy !req
88. It's too late for subterfuge now.
It's too late for anything.
Copy !req
89. It's coming. It's coming
probably within 48 hours.
Copy !req
90. Will it be bad?
-It'll be a holocaust.
Copy !req
91. It'll be the end of everything.
People, ideas. It'll be wiped out.
Copy !req
92. In 48 hours?
-Maybe sooner.
Copy !req
93. What can we do?
-Sit down, I tell you something.
Copy !req
94. We're leaving. You and Jody and I.
And Jerry and Ann.
Copy !req
95. We're leaving tonight.
-Leaving for where?
Copy !req
96. I can't tell. I can only tell
you that before 1:00 tonight...
Copy !req
97. we've got to be out of here
and gone, and no one is to know.
Copy !req
98. Not neighbors, not relatives.
Not even Jody.
Copy !req
99. We won't be able to tell her
until we're already on our way.
Copy !req
100. Jerry Riden is down here.
-I'm coming down, Jody.
Copy !req
101. Why is he here?
-That's what I want to find out.
Copy !req
102. You better tell funny stories
tonight. I had to break a date.
Copy !req
103. You've come to tell me that you
won't be able to make it for cards.
Copy !req
104. No, it's high stakes tonight.
I'm very lucky at cards lately.
Copy !req
105. I just dropped by to talk
to you about that...
Copy !req
106. Your watch is stopped again?
Probably that mainspring.
Copy !req
107. It looked like it had
some rust on it.
Copy !req
108. Here, let me see it.
Copy !req
109. Now, let's see what we can do.
-Bill, we've got to change our plan.
Copy !req
110. Now, there's your trouble, Jerry.
Tell me, what's happened?
Copy !req
111. They've put a different
guard on the ship.
Copy !req
112. The one I've paid gets off at 11:00.
Copy !req
113. Then we have to leave before 11:00.
-The field is crowded with men then.
Copy !req
114. We're only your relatives with
permission to look at the ship.
Copy !req
115. That's what our credentials will show.
-The fewer who know, the better.
Copy !req
116. Does Ann know, yet?
-Only that we've got to get out.
Copy !req
117. I didn't tell her where or when.
What about Eve and Jody?
Copy !req
118. Eve knows. Jody will stay home. She
thinks you're coming to play cards.
Copy !req
119. You can come around 7:00, can't you?
-Yeah.
Copy !req
120. I think that that does it.
It's the mainspring.
Copy !req
121. Have it checked by a jeweler in a
month or so. It has still some rust.
Copy !req
122. Thanks, Bill, very much.
Copy !req
123. Sixteen.
Copy !req
124. Four.
Copy !req
125. Twelve.
Copy !req
126. Eight.
Copy !req
127. Seven.
-You are lucky tonight.
Copy !req
128. Lemonade and homemade cake, everyone?
-Sounds wonderful.
Copy !req
129. I'll get a tray. Come along,
young woman, lend a hand.
Copy !req
130. I know our destination now. There.
-How far?
Copy !req
131. Eleven million miles.
Copy !req
132. In a ship we don't even know
will leave the atmosphere.
Copy !req
133. Or whether its pilot can either take
off or get you down in one piece.
Copy !req
134. That's the risk, Bill.
-It's a good risk.
Copy !req
135. When you consider the alternatives.
-Now, this place we're going to.
Copy !req
136. It's populated. It has people on it.
We've picked up radio waves.
Copy !req
137. Even some snatches of a
language not dissimilar to ours.
Copy !req
138. We've been able to
decipher a lot of it.
Copy !req
139. With a little help, some breaks and
God, we might even make it there.
Copy !req
140. Bill, Mr Carling is here.
Copy !req
141. A little cards tonight, Sturka?
-A little cards, Carling.
Copy !req
142. We're just about to cut into a cake.
You care to join us?
Copy !req
143. Just a little lemonade for me.
Copy !req
144. I was just telling your wife
that she makes wonderful lemonade.
Copy !req
145. Hot night, too, huh?
Copy !req
146. This is a night for a front porch,
or sleep.
Copy !req
147. But nothing else.
-How right you are.
Copy !req
148. We'll be leaving in a minute.
I've been testing an aircraft.
Copy !req
149. Haven't had much sleep the last.
-Yes, I know the aircraft.
Copy !req
150. They say it's capable of
leaving our atmosphere.
Copy !req
151. Talk is it could go to another
planet if the right man flew her.
Copy !req
152. Not for a while, yet.
It needs a lot more testing.
Copy !req
153. May I have a cigarette?
Copy !req
154. The way I figure it, Mr. Sturka,
you owe us a little money here.
Copy !req
155. Marvelous scientist.
Very bad card player.
Copy !req
156. I would've guessed that Sturka
here was a good gambler.
Copy !req
157. I'd guess he'd gamble
on most anything.
Copy !req
158. Here we are. Lemonade, everyone?
-I'll cut the cake, Eve.
Copy !req
159. You're a little nervous, Mrs Sturka.
Copy !req
160. You're very nervous.
Copy !req
161. You've lost quite a bit
according to this, Sturka.
Copy !req
162. We won't settle tonight.
Copy !req
163. Next week we'll give
you another chance.
Copy !req
164. Next week?
You do plan ahead.
Copy !req
165. You plan way ahead.
Copy !req
166. A week?
Copy !req
167. A lot can happen in a week.
A lot can happen in 48 hours.
Copy !req
168. I'll get on home now. I like
to take a walk on warm evenings.
Copy !req
169. It makes me sleep better.
-I'll see you to the door.
Copy !req
170. I'll probably see you
at the office tomorrow.
Copy !req
171. Yes, of course.
Copy !req
172. Pretty night.
Copy !req
173. Clear as a bell.
Nothing but stars.
Copy !req
174. You ever think, that there may
be people on those stars, too?
Copy !req
175. Maybe people just like us.
Copy !req
176. That thought has crossed my mind.
Copy !req
177. Ever think maybe you'd be happier
on one of those than you are here?
Copy !req
178. That crossed my mind, too.
Copy !req
179. Yeah, I have no doubt.
Copy !req
180. The time is now. I've got something
to tell you. We're leaving tonight.
Copy !req
181. There's a ship at the airfield. We're
all gonna drive over there now.
Copy !req
182. We've bribed a lot of people and
the ship's loaded with supplies.
Copy !req
183. You've been planning this!
-For three months now.
Copy !req
184. But tonight has to be it, Jody.
Tonight's the last chance.
Copy !req
185. We've got to leave here tonight.
-Why tonight, Jerry?
Copy !req
186. Because this world as we know
it won't exist much longer.
Copy !req
187. It's about to blow itself up and
that may happen by morning.
Copy !req
188. In the morning where will we be?
Copy !req
189. We'll be out in space, Jody.
Far out.
Copy !req
190. All right, I'll back the car out of
the garage. Ann, is your bag ready?
Copy !req
191. It's in our bedroom.
I'll go get it.
Copy !req
192. Bill.
Copy !req
193. I've got to answer it.
Copy !req
194. Yes?
Copy !req
195. Tonight?
Well, I'm in bed.
Copy !req
196. My division head. They're working
tonight. They're sending a car over.
Copy !req
197. Then we have to get out right now.
-I'll get our bags.
Copy !req
198. This is silly, isn't it? We aren't
ever coming back here again.
Copy !req
199. That's it.
There it is.
Copy !req
200. Mother, it's going to be all right,
isn't it?
Copy !req
201. Is that our contact?
-Yeah, that's him.
Copy !req
202. Eve, flash the lights, just once.
Copy !req
203. Good evening, Sturka.
You're a long way from home.
Copy !req
204. You two stand there very quietly.
Copy !req
205. And breathe through your nose.
Very, very quietly.
Copy !req
206. Get back in the car, please.
Copy !req
207. Would you two get in
the front seat, please?
Copy !req
208. Would you three ladies
mind getting out?
Copy !req
209. These two gentlemen and I have an
engagement with the authorities.
Copy !req
210. The gate.
Copy !req
211. Unauthorized vehicle on field!
Copy !req
212. Guard unit seven, approach
unauthorized vehicle and halt it.
Copy !req
213. Everything all right?
Copy !req
214. 12:00 and all is well.
Copy !req
215. The stars look far away.
-They are far away.
Copy !req
216. But the one we want,
that's not so far, Bill.
Copy !req
217. See it there? It's the shiny one.
The bright one over on the right.
Copy !req
218. It's hard to believe there
are people like us there.
Copy !req
219. People like us.
Copy !req
220. It's the third planet from the sun.
It's called:
Copy !req
221. Earth. That's where we're going.
To a place called Earth.
Copy !req
222. Behind a ship heading into space is
a planet on the verge of suicide.
Copy !req
223. Ahead lies a place called Earth.
The third planet from the sun.
Copy !req
224. For William Sturka and the men
and women with him...
Copy !req
225. it's the eve of the beginning...
Copy !req
226. in the Twilight Zone.
