1. People Are Alike All Over
First Aired: 25 March 1960
Copy !req
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. The blasting area will
be cleared by 0200.
Copy !req
12. It's an odd way to spend
the last night, isn't it?
Copy !req
13. The last night on Earth you don't
spend looking at your transportation.
Copy !req
14. Last night, you spend enjoying Earth.
You walk its streets, go in its bars.
Copy !req
15. Dance with its women. That's going to
be our world for a long time, Sam.
Copy !req
16. Yet we stand out here watching her
just three hours before we take off.
Copy !req
17. Marcusson?
Copy !req
18. Are you afraid?
Copy !req
19. I don't think so.
Are you?
Copy !req
20. I am. Very.
Copy !req
21. It's different with you.
You're trained for it. I'm not.
Copy !req
22. I'm a scientist, a biologist.
Copy !req
23. My world is one of books and
slides and microscopes.
Copy !req
24. I'm being sent up there
because they need my mind.
Copy !req
25. And it's a pity they can't just
send that. Leave the body back here.
Copy !req
26. Oh, I'm frightened of
what we'll find up there.
Copy !req
27. That's the one thing you shouldn't
be frightened of. The unknown, sure.
Copy !req
28. The loneliness, the silence.
That should scare anybody.
Copy !req
29. But I've got a philosophy
about all people, Sam.
Copy !req
30. They're the same all over.
Copy !req
31. When God made human beings, He
developed them from a fixed formula.
Copy !req
32. They'd be the same here on earth as
in the furthest reaches of space.
Copy !req
33. People on Mars?
Copy !req
34. Wherever they're able to exist,
they'd be the same.
Copy !req
35. You're looking at a species of
two-legged animal with small heads.
Copy !req
36. Whose name is man.
Warren Marcusson, age 35.
Copy !req
37. Samuel A. Conrad, age 31.
Copy !req
38. Hey, let's get ready, Sam.
We've only got a couple of hours.
Copy !req
39. They're taking a highway into space.
Copy !req
40. Man unshackling himself and sending
his fingers up into the unknown.
Copy !req
41. Their destination is Mars. In just
a moment we'll land there with them.
Copy !req
42. Marcusson.
Copy !req
43. Marcusson?
Are you all right?
Copy !req
44. Marcusson, what the...
Copy !req
45. Marcusson.
Copy !req
46. Any landing, you can walk
away from, remember?
Copy !req
47. What about the ship?
Copy !req
48. Air pressure seems to be okay. Lights
are running. The rest I'm not sure.
Copy !req
49. You rest for a while.
There's plenty of time.
Copy !req
50. Plenty of time?
Copy !req
51. All right, we'll see.
Copy !req
52. Sam?
Copy !req
53. How long did I sleep?
- A couple of hours.
Copy !req
54. You needed it.
- Conrad. Let's plant the flag.
Copy !req
55. You take it easy.
There's plenty of time.
Copy !req
56. We've come 35 million miles.
Copy !req
57. So? Another few hours
won't make any difference.
Copy !req
58. You won't be able to open it.
The hydraulic's out.
Copy !req
59. Put her on the auxiliary, then.
We can open it.
Copy !req
60. I'll fix it. I'll put her on the
auxiliary. Then we can open her up.
Copy !req
61. I'll open her up.
- Marcusson.
Copy !req
62. You have to take it easy.
- Open the door, Conrad.
Copy !req
63. I've already told you, that door...
- You can open the door.
Copy !req
64. Why won't you open the door, Sam?
Copy !req
65. I don't want to open it.
- Why not?
Copy !req
66. Because.
Copy !req
67. Whatever happened to the inquiring
scientific mind, Conrad?
Copy !req
68. I thought you brought that along.
Copy !req
69. Why did you come along anyway?
Copy !req
70. I want out. I want you to open the
door. You can lock it behind me.
Copy !req
71. Just help me up. That's all I ask.
Please, help me up.
Copy !req
72. Sam, I'm busted up inside.
I think I'm bleeding in there.
Copy !req
73. I don't wanna die in here.
I wanna see what I'm dying for.
Copy !req
74. Take me out, will you? Take me out.
- Don't be afraid, Sam.
Copy !req
75. I got a strange hunch. If there's
anybody out there, they'll help you.
Copy !req
76. If they've got minds and hearts,
they've got souls. So they are people.
Copy !req
77. And people are alike.
They're bound to be alike.
Copy !req
78. For God's sake.
Don't leave me alone, Marc.
Copy !req
79. You said whatever is out there
is just like us.
Copy !req
80. Well, I don't know that.
Copy !req
81. I don't wanna know.
Copy !req
82. You're people.
Copy !req
83. You're just like I am.
Copy !req
84. Face, body.
Everything.
Copy !req
85. You're just like I am.
Oh, forgive me.
Copy !req
86. Don't be frightened.
My name is Sam Conrad.
Copy !req
87. Samuel Conrad.
Copy !req
88. That name, understand?
Copy !req
89. My friend and I, we came
here from the Earth.
Copy !req
90. Look, I'll show you.
This is the Earth, see?
Copy !req
91. We are the third planet
from the sun. This is you.
Copy !req
92. Where I come from,
this planet is called Mars.
Copy !req
93. The other one is dead.
Copy !req
94. Don't be alarmed, Mr Conrad.
We don't intend to harm you either.
Copy !req
95. We've been waiting for hours
to see you come out.
Copy !req
96. How do you know my language?
- We don't.
Copy !req
97. As you'll soon realize,
you are speaking our language.
Copy !req
98. Your language?
- Unconscious transference.
Copy !req
99. You'd call it hypnosis of a sort.
Copy !req
100. But you must be tired. We'll
prepare a place for you to rest.
Copy !req
101. I'm appreciative, I really am.
Copy !req
102. You'll forgive me my staring.
I just can't get over it.
Copy !req
103. You're human beings, just like I am.
Copy !req
104. People.
Marcusson said you would be.
Copy !req
105. Marcusson.
Copy !req
106. Mr Conrad?
We'll bury your friend for you.
Copy !req
107. Later on you can tell us what
kind of marker you'd like.
Copy !req
108. We'll repair your ship for you, too.
- Thank you.
Copy !req
109. You were right, old friend.
Copy !req
110. They are people.
Just like us.
Copy !req
111. I wish you lived to see that.
Copy !req
112. I want to ask you so many things.
Things about your civilization.
Copy !req
113. Your social structure, the way
you live. Your science.
Copy !req
114. A thousand questions.
Copy !req
115. We'll answer all your questions,
Mr Conrad.
Copy !req
116. First you must rest. While we prepare
a place you'll feel familiar in.
Copy !req
117. We'll be back soon.
- Miss?
Copy !req
118. You do have a name, don't you?
- I'm called Teenya.
Copy !req
119. Well, Teenya...
Copy !req
120. Will you tell the others
how very appreciative I am?
Copy !req
121. I was so miserably frightened.
- Don't be frightened, Mr Conrad.
Copy !req
122. No one will hurt you.
Copy !req
123. No one will hurt you.
You must believe that.
Copy !req
124. Thank you, Teenya.
Thank you.
Copy !req
125. I'll see you later.
Copy !req
126. Good morning. Did you rest well?
- Long and well.
Copy !req
127. May I see your city and your people?
- Very soon.
Copy !req
128. First we have a surprise for you.
A very pleasant surprise.
Copy !req
129. Would you accompany us, please?
- Of course. Where are we going?
Copy !req
130. That's the surprise, Mr Conrad.
Copy !req
131. Are you coming?
Copy !req
132. Yes, I will come.
Copy !req
133. Is this a martian house?
- No, ours are considerably different.
Copy !req
134. We built this during the night.
We assumed this is the way you live.
Copy !req
135. It's a perfect replica.
Perfect.
Copy !req
136. A television set.
The furniture, drapes, everything.
Copy !req
137. How could you possibly know?
- From your mind.
Copy !req
138. You think very clearly.
Very strong impression.
Copy !req
139. Would you care to see
the rest of the house?
Copy !req
140. It's fabulous.
It's really fabulous.
Copy !req
141. We wanted you to feel at home.
Do you feel at home?
Copy !req
142. It's unbelievable.
Thank you.
Copy !req
143. We were wondering if you'd mind
remaining here for a little while.
Copy !req
144. You expressed an interest in seeing
our city, meeting our people.
Copy !req
145. We'll go out and arrange that.
Copy !req
146. That's wonderful.
You want me to stay here?
Copy !req
147. I'd be delighted.
- Good. For a little while then.
Copy !req
148. Enjoy yourself.
Enjoy your house.
Copy !req
149. Let me show you out.
After all, it's my house.
Copy !req
150. Teenya?
Copy !req
151. I will see you again, won't I?
Copy !req
152. Of course you will, Mr Conrad.
Copy !req
153. If it's an illusion,
a guy can live with it.
Copy !req
154. That's the best Scotch I ever drank.
Copy !req
155. Hey. You locked me in.
What's the matter with you, people?
Copy !req
156. I'm locked in.
What's wrong?
Copy !req
157. There aren't any windows.
Copy !req
158. There aren't any windows anywhere.
Copy !req
159. Why are you doing this?
Why?
Copy !req
160. Why have you locked me in here?
Why are you looking at me like that?
Copy !req
161. Marcusson, you were right.
Copy !req
162. You were right.
Copy !req
163. People are alike.
Copy !req
164. People are alike everywhere.
Copy !req
165. Species of animal brought back alive.
Copy !req
166. Interesting similarity
to human beings...
Copy !req
167. In head, trunk, arms, legs, hands,
feet. Very tiny, undeveloped brain.
Copy !req
168. Comes from primitive
planet named Earth.
Copy !req
169. Calls himself Samuel Conrad.
Copy !req
170. He will remain in his cage with the
electricity and the central heat...
Copy !req
171. as long as he lives.
Samuel Conrad...
Copy !req
172. has found the Twilight Zone.
