Copy !req
50. Piece it together.
Piece it together.
Copy !req
51. That's what I have to do.
Copy !req
52. Just piece it all together.
Copy !req
53. We bellied in...
Copy !req
54. we bellied in,
Copy !req
55. and I must have been thrown
clear of the plane.
Copy !req
56. Yeah. Yeah,
that's what happened.
Copy !req
57. It knocked me cold.
Copy !req
58. Yeah, I may have been out
for hours.
Copy !req
59. And then the others were...
Copy !req
60. what about the others?
Copy !req
61. Where are they?
Copy !req
62. They didn't jump.
Copy !req
63. Their chutes are still here.
Copy !req
64. And they're not dead.
Copy !req
65. They... they couldn't be dead.
Copy !req
66. And, if they left the plane
and started walking,
Copy !req
67. why didn't they take me?
Copy !req

Copy !req
81. Don't go off half-cocked.
Copy !req
82. There are reasons.
Copy !req
83. There are explanations.
Copy !req
84. The crew is someplace
and... and, for some reason,
Copy !req
85. and I'm alone for some reason.
Copy !req
86. Everything looks tilt,
but there's...
Copy !req
87. there's logic behind it.
Copy !req
88. There's logic for everything.
Copy !req
89. I just have to...
Copy !req
90. I just have to keep it cool,
that's all.
Copy !req
91. Think about it rationally.
Copy !req
92. The main thing...
Copy !req
93. the main thing
I got to keep in mind is
Copy !req
94. I'm responsible for this crew.

I got to keep them alive.

Copy !req

Copy !req
113. Run around the...
Copy !req
114. it's not funny, boys.
Copy !req

Copy !req
116. Blake! Blake!
Copy !req
117. Blake...
Copy !req
118. it's me, embry.
Copy !req
119. It's me, embry, blake.
Copy !req
120. Blake.
Copy !req
121. Blake?
Copy !req
122. Blake, where'd you go?
Copy !req
123. Blake?
Copy !req
124. What's the gag?
Copy !req
125. Oh, come on, fellas.
Copy !req
126. I'm responsible for you guys.
Copy !req
127. Don't you understand?
Copy !req
128. I'm responsible.
Copy !req
129. Mayday.

Copy !req
132. Mayday. Mayday.

Copy !req
134. from last checkpoint.
Copy !req
135. Bearing 29...
Copy !req
136. hallucinations...
Copy !req
137. the whole thing
could be an hallucination.
Copy !req
138. I could be lying
out there in the sand
Copy !req
139. with a fractured skull.
Copy !req
140. I might not even
be standing here.
Copy !req
141. I might be dying out there
in the desert.
Copy !req
142. All this is what I'm just...
Copy !req
143. making up in my mind.
Copy !req
144. Or maybe I'm... I'm sleeping,
Copy !req
145. and I'm having a dream.
Copy !req
146. Hey, maybe I'll wake up,
and I'll be back at the base.
Copy !req
147. Or maybe I tied one on,
Copy !req
148. and I'm in a booth
at a bar someplace...
Copy !req
149. with a pretty girl.
Copy !req
150. Oh, this one tears it.
Copy !req
151. This one really tears it.
Copy !req
152. Wait till the medics
get ahold of me.
Copy !req
153. They'll never let loose.
Copy !req
154. They'll have
to put me on tour.
Copy !req
155. If they ever let me
out of the bin, that is.
Copy !req
156. Now, just a second.
Copy !req
157. Just a second.
Copy !req
158. I saw him sitting there.
Copy !req
159. Yeah.
Copy !req
160. And that was no hallucination.
Copy !req
161. I saw blake sitting right here.
Copy !req
162. Nobody can tell me different.
Copy !req
163. I saw him sitting
right in this seat.
Copy !req
164. Blake!
Copy !req
165. Connors! Klein!
Copy !req
166. How about it, crew?
Copy !req
167. You hear me, anybody?
Copy !req
168. Hey!
Copy !req
169. All right, king ninecrew!
Copy !req
170. This is your captain!
Copy !req
171. How about it, you guys?
Copy !req
172. I'm responsible for you jerks!
Copy !req
173. You're giving me
some bum action here!
Copy !req
174. You're throwing curves,
gentlemen!
Copy !req
175. How about it, team?
Copy !req
176. How about it, crew?
Copy !req
177. Look, I'm supposed
to look after you guys!
Copy !req
178. Blake!
Copy !req
179. Connors!
Copy !req
180. Klein...
Copy !req
181. I'm sorry.
Copy !req
182. I didn't know.
Copy !req
183. Rest in peace, buddy.
Copy !req
184. Rest in peace, kid.
Copy !req
185. Hey...
Copy !req
186. what kind of aircraft are those?
Copy !req
187. Wait a minute here.
Copy !req
188. What kind of pla...?
Copy !req
189. What are they?
Copy !req
190. I've never seen any planes
like that before.
Copy !req
191. I've never seen any jets.
Copy !req
192. Jets?
Copy !req
193. Jet aircraft?
Copy !req
194. How do I know
about jet aircraft?
Copy !req
195. This is 1943.
Copy !req
196. There's no such thing
as jet aircraft,
Copy !req
197. but I know about it.
Copy !req
198. I know about jet aircraft-
f-106s, f-105s, b-58s.
Copy !req
199. I know all about it.
Copy !req
200. Hey!
Copy !req
201. Hey, where you guys going?
Copy !req
202. Hey, what's going on here?
Copy !req
203. Hey, what are you doing here?
Copy !req
204. Blake!
Copy !req
205. Blake! Connors?
Copy !req
206. Blake!
Copy !req
207. You ever hear a jet aircraft-
Copy !req
208. f-105s, f-106s, b-58s?
Copy !req
209. Jets! Jets!
Copy !req
210. Crew!
Copy !req
211. Hey, crew!
Copy !req
212. Now, come on,
we got to get out of here.
Copy !req
213. We've got to get out.
Copy !req
214. Now, we're not going
to be able to walk out.
Copy !req
215. We can't walk out.
Copy !req
216. That's for sure.
Copy !req
217. That's for positive.
Copy !req
218. We're going to have to fly.
Copy !req
219. Fly.
Copy !req
220. Come on, boys! Come on!
Copy !req
221. We're going to have
to prop up the ship,
Copy !req
222. get the wheels down,
Copy !req
223. try to take her off-
get her in the air.
Copy !req
224. And, boys, I'll get her back.
Copy !req
225. You can trust me.
Copy !req
226. I'll get her back.
Copy !req
227. It doesn't make
any difference...
Copy !req
228. because you're an illusion.
Copy !req
229. You don't even exist.
Copy !req
230. I'm dead...
Copy !req
231. or I'm knocked out...
Copy !req
232. or I'm off in limbo someplace.
Copy !req
233. Oh...
Copy !req
234. oh, I see.
Copy !req
235. I'm unconscious.
Copy !req
236. Or I'm cracked up
in some army base.
Copy !req
237. Some teeny-weeny little ward.
Copy !req
238. Or I don't exist...
Copy !req
239. any more than you do.
Copy !req
240. Crew, I'm all right.
Copy !req
241. Come on, crew.
Copy !req
242. Come on back.
Copy !req
243. You can break the silence now.
Copy !req
244. I got an idea.
Copy !req
245. Hey, you can yell at me.
Copy !req
246. Yell at me!
Copy !req
247. Oh, hey, why don't you just...?
Copy !req
248. Oh, this is funny.
Copy !req
249. Why don't you just...
Copy !req
250. spring up out of the sand
like a bunch of jumping jacks,
Copy !req
251. and just stand there,
and just laugh, see?
Copy !req
252. Just... la...
Copy !req
253. klein!
Copy !req
254. Klein!
Copy !req
255. Fellas, I knew
you'd come back.
Copy !req
256. Oh, no.
Copy !req
257. Fellas?
Copy !req
258. No.
Copy !req
259. Now, look, fellas. Please...
Copy !req
260. klein.
Copy !req
261. Blake?
Copy !req
262. Kransky?
Copy !req
263. Phantoms.
Copy !req
264. Everything's a phantom.
Copy !req
265. There isn't a thing...
Copy !req
266. not a single thing that's real.
Copy !req
267. Oh, god.
Copy !req
268. Oh, god, what's happening here?
Copy !req
269. What's happening?
Copy !req
270. Won't you let me in on it?
Copy !req
271. Please let me in on it, god.
Copy !req
272. Please let me in on it.
Copy !req
273. Oh, god.
Copy !req
274. Let me in on it.
Copy !req
275. Oh, god.
Copy !req
276. Oh, please.
Copy !req
277. Please...
Copy !req
278. james embry, age 41, single.
Copy !req
279. It happened this morning.
Copy !req
280. Went by a newsstand,
looked at a paper,
Copy !req
281. then went into shock.
Copy !req
282. When the ambulance got there,
he was almost catatonic.
Copy !req
283. Is this what set it
off? This front page?
Copy !req
284. That's why I thought
Copy !req
285. we ought to have
a psychiatrist in on it.
Copy !req
286. It's very odd.
Copy !req
287. I thought so, too,
Copy !req
288. so I checked with the
pentagon in washington
Copy !req
289. on his army background.
Copy !req
290. Captain, air force, b-25,
Copy !req
291. africa and italy,
37 missions,
Copy !req
292. discharged august 1943,
recurrent fevers.
Copy !req
293. Some suggestion of
psychological disturbance,
Copy !req
294. but he was discharged
Copy !req
295. before they could find out
much about it.
Copy !req
296. And this
was his plane.
Copy !req
297. His plane and his crew.
Copy !req
298. Took off for italy
Copy !req
299. on what was supposed
to be a routine flight.
Copy !req
300. Embry never went
on that last mission.
Copy !req
301. Reported in ill,
Copy !req
302. and someone else flew
the plane for him.
Copy !req
303. Never got back.
Copy !req
304. And, for 17 years,
Copy !req
305. he's been carrying that
around in his gut.
Copy !req
306. You're all right,
mr. Embry.
Copy !req
307. You're in a hospital.
Copy !req
308. We'll look
after you.
Copy !req
309. Crazy dream.
Copy !req
310. I went back.
Copy !req
311. I went back to the desert.
Copy !req
312. That's all right,
mr. Embry...
Copy !req
313. no, no, no.
Copy !req
314. Sorry, mr. Embry.
Copy !req
315. You went back
to the desert.
Copy !req
316. Then what?
Copy !req
317. I went back to my plane.
Copy !req
318. I was looking
for the fellas.
Copy !req
319. I looked everywhere
for them.
Copy !req
320. I saw blake,
Copy !req
321. but it was... it was
a mirage, an illusion.
Copy !req
322. He wasn't there.
Copy !req
323. None of them were there.
Copy !req
324. It was an illusion,
mr. Embry
Copy !req
325. but you're out of it now.
Copy !req
326. You're going
to be all right.
Copy !req
327. I should have been on the plane.
Copy !req
328. I should have gone
on that mission.
Copy !req
329. I chickened out!
Copy !req
330. You didn't
chicken out.
Copy !req
331. You had no way
of knowing
Copy !req
332. that plane wasn't
going to come back.
Copy !req
333. Now you
realize it more
Copy !req
334. as time goes by,
Copy !req
335. and you'll feel
better for it.
Copy !req
336. It's out in the open now.
Copy !req
337. You don't have to hide it
in a pit deep inside of you.
Copy !req
338. That's what's been hurting you
all these years.
Copy !req
339. Another crazy thing...
Copy !req
340. uh... uh... an illusion
or a dream or whatever.
Copy !req
341. I was out there in the desert
Copy !req
342. and...
Copy !req
343. above me...
Copy !req
344. in the sky...
Copy !req
345. jets.
Copy !req
346. Isn't that wild?
Copy !req
347. 1943.
Copy !req
348. African desert.
Copy !req
349. And jet planes overhead.
Copy !req
350. Just as if I...
Copy !req
351. just as if I...
had gone back there...
Copy !req
352. today.
Copy !req
353. Did I?
Copy !req
354. Did I go back?
Copy !req
355. Did I go back to my plane?
Copy !req
356. In your mind...
Copy !req
357. that's how you went back.
Copy !req
358. Only in your mind.
Copy !req
359. Only in my mind.
Copy !req
360. Go back to sleep now,
mr. Embry.
Copy !req
361. You're going
to be all right.
Copy !req
362. I think the worst part
of it is over.
Copy !req
363. At least the guilt
is out in the open,
Copy !req
364. and he knows
what it is.
Copy !req
365. That illusion certainly
seems real to him.
Copy !req
366. In a couple of days,
a week,
Copy !req
367. it will lose all reality.
Copy !req
368. Doctor, these are
mr. Embry's clothes.
Copy !req
369. You left them in
the examination room.
Copy !req
370. Put them on
the desk here, nurse.
Copy !req
371. I'm going back in the room.
I'll take them in.
Copy !req
372. I'd like to talk to him
in a day or so.
Copy !req
373. Fine. I'll keep
a check on him.
Copy !req
374. What's that?
Copy !req
375. It's sand.
Copy !req
376. Enigma buried in the sand-
Copy !req
377. a question mark
with broken wings
Copy !req
378. that lies in silent grace
as a marker in a desert shrine.
Copy !req
379. Odd how the real
consorts with the shadows-
Copy !req
380. how the present
fuses with the past.
Copy !req
381. How does it happen?
Copy !req
382. The question is on file
in the silent desert.
Copy !req
383. And the answer?
Copy !req
384. The answer is waiting for us
in the twilight zone.
Copy !req
385. Rod serling, the creator
oftwilight zone,
Copy !req
386. will tell you
about next week's story
Copy !req
387. after this word
from our alternate sponsor.
Copy !req
388. And now, mr. Serling.
Copy !req
389. Inside this curio shop
next week,
Copy !req
390. from amidst
this old-school rococo
Copy !req
391. and some fusty,
moth-eaten antiquary,
Copy !req
392. will emerge a bottle- this one.
Copy !req
393. And from it will step a genie
Copy !req
394. to give mr. Luther adler
four wishes.
Copy !req
395. But he'll discover,
as will all of you,
Copy !req
396. that there's an economics
to magic-
Copy !req
397. a high cost of wishing.
Copy !req
398. Next week,
a most intriguing tale-
Copy !req
399. the man in the bottle.
Copy !req
400. Thank you, and good night.
