1. Execution First Aired: 1 April 1960

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. A commonplace, if somewhat grim. An event known as a 'Necktie party.'

12. The guest of dishonor, a cowboy named Joe Caswell.

13. A moment away from a rope, a short dance a few feet off the ground.

14. And then the dark eternity of all evil men.

15. Mr Joe Caswell, who when the good lord passed out a conscience...

16. must have been out for a beer and missed out.

17. Mr Joe Caswell in the last quiet moment of a violent life.

18. Reverend. No need, I ain't interested in prayers.

19. And your immortal soul, Caswell? Are you interested in that?

20. It's my mortal neck that concerns me now.

21. And it's gonna be your pleasure to see that it's stretched a few feet.

22. Since that book ain't going to help, make it short and get it over with.

23. Judge? - You have the right to a last word.

24. That's my right, is it, judge?

25. The young fellow I put a hole in had too much mouth, not enough brains.

26. I'd invite him out again tomorrow if I had it to do all over again.

27. You shot my son in the back.

28. And that's a long country mile from an invitation to a showdown.

29. Now, that's all you got to say, I got this to add.

30. I'd like you to feel it, Caswell.

31. The more you kick, the more justice I figure there is in the world.

32. Well, I'll do a jig for you, pappy, just like a puppet.

33. How about it, can't we get it over with?

34. I can tell you this. You're an evil person. You're a disease.

35. And when we hang you, it's a service.

36. All right, get on with the job.

37. Oh, my dear God. - What happened to him?

38. Try to relax. You're going to be all right.

39. I'll explain to you what's happened.

40. Where am I?

41. You're a long way from home, old friend.

42. Where? - You're in New York City.

43. Eighty years from the last moment of your recollection.

44. How? How?

45. By this. This is a time machine.

46. What's happened to you involves principles you wouldn't understand.

47. For the moment, I don't know what your past was.

48. But you've got a most distinguished future.

49. You're the first time traveler in the history of man.

50. And I'm going to introduce you to a whole new world.

51. And you're gonna tell me about an old one.

52. At 8:15 the subject appeared desperately tired.

53. So I put him to bed.

54. After two hours I've discovered the following:

55. His name is Joseph Caswell.

56. He tells me he was a trail boss on a cattle ranch in Montana.

57. His last moment of recollection was 14 November 1880.

58. He says he was riding herd when suddenly he blacked out.

59. He awoke to find himself on the cot of my laboratory.

60. He felt no sensations and...

61. only in the last moment he seem to have any grasp of what has occurred.

62. There's one disturbing point.

63. There are the marks of a rope etched deeply into his neck.

64. He has no explanation for this.

65. And I have one other observation. Hardly scientific.

66. I don't like his looks. I don't like the eyes or the expression.

67. I get a feeling of disquiet, I...

68. I get a feeling that I've taken a 19th century primitive...

69. and placed him in a 20th century jungle.

70. And heaven help whoever gets in his way.

71. That's fire right out of the air.

72. I thought you were tired. - I am.

73. There's plenty of time to sleep. And plenty of time for that.

74. Now I wanna look at that world out there.

75. I wanna see if there are things out there like you described to me.

76. Carriages without horses and... - They're out there, Caswell.

77. Things that you've never seen before. Things you can't imagine.

78. But some things don't change. Ideas, concepts.

79. Things like right and wrong.

80. I know all about right and wrong.

81. A sheriff once tried to beat the difference into me with a wet rope.

82. I know all about right and wrong.

83. And what about justice, Caswell?

84. What about justice?

85. Am I supposed to know about justice?

86. More than most men, probably.

87. Right and wrong, they can try to beat into you.

88. But justice, Caswell. This came at the end of a rope, didn't it?

89. That's where you were when I reached back into time.

90. You were at the end of a rope, weren't you, Caswell?

91. Some feet off the ground. And I got you just before your neck was broken.

92. When you're dangling at a rope, the distance to the ground don't matter.

93. You killed someone. - A whole territory full.

94. I stopped counting after 20.

95. Well?

96. I'm going to have to send you back. - Back?

97. Back to where you belong. Back to that very moment, if I can.

98. And that's supposed to be justice?

99. I died once already, mister. I been to hell. Now I'm back.

100. And those 20 men that you killed? They died with no discomfort?

101. Mister, you're just talking words. Justice, right and wrong.

102. They sound good in this warm room. With a nice full stomach.

103. Just a few feet away from a soft bed.

104. They sound nice and they go down easy.

105. But you just try 'em on an ice-cold mesa where another man's bread...

106. or another man's jacket stands between you and staying alive.

107. You get in this machine of yours and you go back to where I was.

108. And you talk about law and justice. They're gonna sound different.

109. Mister, I know your kind.

110. Your clean-faced, your Johnny-come-lately dandies.

111. You come in your warm trains rolling over the graves of men like me.

112. I just hate your kind.

113. 'And I have one other observation. Hardly scientific.

114. 'I don't like his looks. I don't like the eyes or the expression.

115. 'I get a feeling that I've taken a 19th century primitive...

116. 'and placed him in a 20th century jungle.

117. 'And heaven help whoever gets in his way.'

118. 'There is overtime. Please deposit 25 cents.'

119. 'Hello? Hello?'

120. 'There is overtime. Please deposit 25 cents.'

121. What'll it be?

122. Expensive evening for you, pal. That's gonna cost. Hear me?

123. There's so much noise.

124. If you don't pay for it, I'm gonna have to. If you got any...

125. Easy, pal, easy. - Just bring me one of those.

126. Well? - Nothing, pal, no argument.

127. What is that? Where does the music come from?

128. That thing? That's just a plain old jukebox.

129. You been in stir, buddy? - It's just that I need some sleep.

130. And those things that are running around.

131. Things?

132. Those carriages without horses. And the lights going on and off.

133. And the noise, it's like thunder all the time.

134. Why don't you go home and sack down? And get a good night's sleep.

135. Take a couple of bottles with you. That's what you need is sleep. Here.

136. Well, don't you know what that is?

137. It's a window. - We'll give you a demonstration.

138. All right, hombre, you got your chance to draw.

139. Now, you better make your move.

140. All right, cowboy, you gotta pay for this. Police. Police.

141. Police.

142. Mister, you...

143. Man, you... Help me, please.

144. I thought the place was empty.

145. Move away from the desk, cowboy. - What do you want?

146. What do I want? What do you want, Buffalo Bill?

147. Well, that's what I want. Whatever is around loose.

148. Well, it looks like you got here before me. Saved me a little trouble.

149. Thanks. But I'm here now.

150. I usually go to bed this early.

151. So with the place being dark, I figured I'd be all alone.

152. You checked the desk, did you?

153. I guess he don't keep much cash around here.

154. I figured maybe a key to a drawer or something.

155. See? I expect he's got a wall safe or something around here, don't you?

156. I asked you a question. Don't you figure he's got a wall safe here?

157. Hey. Help. Help, somebody. Help me get out.

158. Cut him down, hurry up.

159. That ain't Joe Caswell. That ain't the guy we hanged.

160. Look at his clothes. What kind of clothes are they?

161. Who is it? - This is not Caswell, reverend.

162. It's a stranger.

163. What kind of devil's work is this? - I don't know.

164. I don't know if it is devil's work.

165. Did we hang an innocent man, then?

166. I hope not. I pray to God not.

167. This is November 1880. The aftermath of a necktie party.

168. The victim's name, Paul Johnson. Small time crook and murderer.

169. No comment on his death save this.

170. Justice can span years. Retribution is not subject to a calendar.

171. Tonight's case in point in the Twilight Zone.
