through another dimension
Copy !req
3. a dimension not only
of sight and sound, but of mind
Copy !req
4. a journey into a wondrous land
Copy !req
5. whose boundaries
are that of imagination.
Copy !req
6. That's the signpost up ahead.
Copy !req
7. Your next stop,
the twilight zone.
Copy !req
8. There was a village
Copy !req
9. built of crumbling clay
and rotting wood
Copy !req
10. and it squatted, ugly,
under a broiling sun
Copy !req
11. like a sick and mangy animal
wanting to die.
Copy !req
12. This village had a virus
shared by its people.
Copy !req
13. It was the germ of squalor,
of hopelessness
Copy !req
14. of a loss of faith.
Copy !req
15. For the faithless, the hopeless,
the misery-laden
Copy !req
16. there is time, ample time
Copy !req
17. to engage in one of the other
pursuits of men.
Copy !req
18. They begin to destroy
themselves.
Copy !req
19. Ladies and gents,
it's me, peter sykes
Copy !req
20. peter sykes, back from st. Louis
Copy !req
21. stocked up with everything
that's necessary
Copy !req
22. for kitchen and barn
Copy !req
23. and the dry throat
and the swollen tongue.
Copy !req
24. Ha, ha!
Copy !req
25. Young mr. Gallegos,
I believe.
Copy !req
26. Now, this is a very
special day, isn't it?
Copy !req
27. Now, let's see.
Copy !req
28. What is this special
day, eh?
Copy !req
29. Ah, now I remember.
Copy !req
30. It has just this moment
come back to me.
Copy !req
31. Today you gonna get hanged.
Copy !req
32. Today, young mr. Gallegos,
killer of children
Copy !req
33. dances on the gallows.
Copy !req
34. Well, what will it be
for you today, mr. Koch?
Copy !req
35. Don't need any more
rope, do you?
Copy !req
36. You ought to see
the fancy, five-strand hemp
Copy !req
37. I sold the town
for your party, gallegos.
Copy !req
38. It could lift five of you.
Copy !req
39. Any more at home
like you, gallegos?
Copy !req
40. Well, what will be
your fancy, mr. Koch?
Copy !req
41. What do I fancy,
sykes?
Copy !req
42. I'll tell you
what I fancy.
Copy !req
43. I'd like you
Copy !req
44. to take your
fat carcass
Copy !req
45. and your
loud mouth
Copy !req
46. out into
the open air.
Copy !req
47. This is a small room
Copy !req
48. and it's a hot time
of the morning.
Copy !req
49. Well, what about you, gallegos?
Copy !req
50. What would your pleasure be?
Copy !req
51. Nice hacksaw, maybe?
Copy !req
52. There's going to be
a funeral procession
Copy !req
53. down that street, gallegos.
Copy !req
54. You better go to the window
and watch.
Copy !req
55. They're burying
the little girl
Copy !req
56. that you mangled
under your wagon.
Copy !req
57. You sobered
up now, eh?
Copy !req
58. You remember
the little girl
Copy !req
59. don't you?
Copy !req
60. You got stinking drunk
Copy !req
61. and you raced your wagon
down that street
Copy !req
62. and what you did
Copy !req
63. to that poor
little girl...
Copy !req
64. uh-uh, gallegos.
Copy !req
65. Hey...
Copy !req
66. you'll have
plenty of chance
Copy !req
67. to move around
this afternoon.
Copy !req
68. You'll be
able to kick
Copy !req
69. and kick
and kick.
Copy !req
70. You ought to take a drink
of this, sheriff.
Copy !req
71. It's a good tonic.
Copy !req
72. Just the thing
Copy !req
73. to set you up fine
for a hanging.
Copy !req
74. Makes you strong
and firm.
Copy !req
75. Here, feel this.
Copy !req
76. I don't touch
dog meat, sykes.
Copy !req
77. You talk big
behind a badge, koch.
Copy !req
78. Just sounds big to you
because you're a midget, sykes.
Copy !req
79. You know, I always had
a little question about you.
Copy !req
80. You always had a thing
for foreigners and strays
Copy !req
81. but you're mighty tight-lipped
Copy !req
82. when it comes to
one of your own.
Copy !req
83. You're not my own, sykes,
so don't claim any kinship.
Copy !req
84. As for that boy
in there
Copy !req
85. he had his trial
Copy !req
86. and today he's going
to swing for it.
Copy !req
87. There's nothing
in his sentence
Copy !req
88. that says he's got
to be tormented
Copy !req
89. by a pig who sells
trinkets at funerals.
Copy !req
90. Go on, sykes.
Copy !req
91. Get out of here.
Copy !req
92. When this day is over, which
one will you weep for, koch?
Copy !req
93. I have tears enough for both.
Copy !req
94. Mr. And mrs. Canfield,
I'm real sorry about this.
Copy !req
95. My condolences
to you.
Copy !req
96. This afternoon
will be
Copy !req
97. a lot more
cheery.
Copy !req
98. Yes, we going
to string up
Copy !req
99. the dirty
little animal
Copy !req
100. that done this.
Copy !req
101. She going to
be avenged.
Copy !req
102. You can set
your mind to rest
Copy !req
103. on that score.
Copy !req
104. We'll string up that
mangler of children
Copy !req
105. if it's the last
thing we do.
Copy !req
106. Some other time,
huh, sykes?
Copy !req
107. Some other time
Copy !req
108. you act like a man
with no brains
Copy !req
109. but... not now.
Copy !req
110. Now you keep quiet.
Copy !req
111. Now, look at that,
will you?
Copy !req
112. Ain't that
the most gall
Copy !req
113. you ever seen
in one place?
Copy !req
114. Gallegos' old man
shows his face in town
Copy !req
115. in broad daylight
Copy !req
116. and during the funeral
procession, too.
Copy !req
117. Somebody ought to take
a horsewhip to that...
Copy !req
118. that...
Copy !req
119. my father
wishes me
Copy !req
120. to tell you
that...
Copy !req
121. my father
wishes for me
Copy !req
122. to tell you
Copy !req
123. that his heart
is broken.
Copy !req
124. That if
he could...
Copy !req
125. if he could
give...
Copy !req
126. his own life in return.
Copy !req
127. His own life in
return, estrelita.
Copy !req
128. His own life in
return, he would.
Copy !req
129. He would do so with
great willingness.
Copy !req
130. He... he
understands...
Copy !req
131. get out of the way,
little girl.
Copy !req
132. Get out of the way.
Copy !req
133. Can't
you see...
Copy !req
134. can't you see
Copy !req
135. that we're burying
our daughter today?
Copy !req
136. Oh, please, please.
Copy !req
137. My son did not mean
to do it.
Copy !req
138. He... he's a lover of children
Copy !req
139. as you
all are.
Copy !req
140. He's a lover of children.
Copy !req
141. Hey, ozzie!
Copy !req
142. Vayase a la casa.
Copy !req
143. No se le necesita aqui.
Copy !req
144. He's not
needed here.
Copy !req
145. Is that what you say
to your old father?
Copy !req
146. Father, take
estrelita home.
Copy !req
147. They will hurt you.
Copy !req
148. Please, go home now.
Copy !req
149. Vayase a la casa,
por favor.
Copy !req
150. Luis... luis.
Copy !req
151. My lucky coin.
Copy !req
152. It is said one can
make a wish on it.
Copy !req
153. Go home,
old man.
Copy !req
154. Make your prayers
and make your wishes.
Copy !req
155. Luis is right.
Copy !req
156. You'll do
no good here.
Copy !req
157. You never been drunk,
mr. Sheriff?
Copy !req
158. You never felt such
misery rising in you
Copy !req
159. that salvation seemed
to look at you
Copy !req
160. from only out of a bottle?
Copy !req
161. You never felt pain?
Copy !req
162. Such pain that you had to ride
through the night
Copy !req
163. and not look behind you?
Copy !req
164. My son was hungry
and he felt such pain
Copy !req
165. and he drank too much.
Copy !req
166. He rode
down the street
Copy !req
167. not looking,
not seeing.
Copy !req
168. And he had a sadness...
Copy !req
169. deep inside.
Copy !req
170. Sadness that there was not
enough to eat
Copy !req
171. sadness that he had no work
Copy !req
172. sadness the earth
all around him
Copy !req
173. was growing barren in the sun.
Copy !req
174. He did not see the little girl.
Copy !req
175. He never saw her...
for an instant.
Copy !req
176. Psst, little girl.
Copy !req
177. Wait.
Copy !req
178. Now, you stay here.
Copy !req
179. I won't hurt you.
Copy !req
180. Don't be afraid.
Copy !req
181. You go tell your papa-
you understand?
Copy !req
182. Tell your papa
I want to help him.
Copy !req
183. You tell him that
his coin is no good-
Copy !req
184. it's worthless-
Copy !req
185. but that I have
a magic dust
Copy !req
186. that turns hate
into love
Copy !req
187. but it is very,
very precious
Copy !req
188. very expensive,
comprende?
Copy !req
189. Understand?
Copy !req
190. Now...
Copy !req
191. now, you tell
your papa
Copy !req
192. to bring 100 pesos
to my room
Copy !req
193. in one hour
Copy !req
194. and I will sell him
the magic dust
Copy !req
195. that makes people
love and forgive.
Copy !req
196. You understand, eh?
Copy !req
197. Tell your papa,
comprende?
Copy !req
198. Good, now you go.
Copy !req
199. Magic dust.
Copy !req
200. 100 pesos of worth
of magic dust.
Copy !req
201. It should be
a good attendance today.
Copy !req
202. When was it
god made people?
Copy !req
203. Was it the sixth day?
Copy !req
204. He should have stopped
on the fifth.
Copy !req
205. They're tired of hating
this place.
Copy !req
206. The sun...
Copy !req
207. the ground that is dead
under your feet.
Copy !req
208. They must go out and find
something else to hate.
Copy !req
209. This isn't
a carnival, rogers.
Copy !req
210. It's a hanging.
Copy !req
211. You mean the kids?
Copy !req
212. They ain't never
seen a hanging.
Copy !req
213. I figured it was time.
Copy !req
214. Why?
Copy !req
215. Why not?
Copy !req
216. They'll learn
a lesson.
Copy !req
217. They'll see what happens
to drunks that kill kids.
Copy !req
218. I guess that's pretty vital.
Copy !req
219. How do you teach them
pain, rogers?
Copy !req
220. Shoot one of them
in the arm?
Copy !req
221. All right, you kids.
Copy !req
222. Get down and stay together.
Copy !req
223. Is that the man they're going
to put the rope on?
Copy !req
224. Si, little one.
Copy !req
225. I am the man.
Copy !req
226. Will it hurt?
Copy !req
227. If god wills it.
Copy !req
228. Go on, boy.
Copy !req
229. Get ready, luis.
Copy !req
230. It's about that time.
Copy !req
231. I'm ready, sheriff.
Copy !req
232. Come on, let's
get it over with.
Copy !req
233. Yeah, you should've done that
in the jail.
Copy !req
234. Hang him!
Copy !req
235. What are we waiting for?
Let's get to it.
Copy !req
236. Come on, sheriff,
do your duty.
Copy !req
237. Get it over with.
Copy !req
238. The little girl
told you?
Copy !req
239. Yes, she told me.
Copy !req
240. She said that
you had the dust.
Copy !req
241. Dust with magic
properties.
Copy !req
242. That's the idea.
Copy !req
243. Little of this
Copy !req
244. sprinkled over the
heads in the crowd
Copy !req
245. will make them feel
sympathy for your son.
Copy !req
246. It's very rare.
Copy !req
247. Magic, you know.
Copy !req
248. You brought money
with you?
Copy !req
249. Yes.
Copy !req
250. Gold pieces?
Copy !req
251. Where did you
get them?
Copy !req
252. All my friends.
Copy !req
253. All my friends went
into the city.
Copy !req
254. One sold a wagon,
another sold a horse
Copy !req
255. some borrowed.
Copy !req
256. We got many pesos
and we converted them.
Copy !req
257. It will work,
mr. Sykes?
Copy !req
258. The magic dust,
it will work?
Copy !req
259. Yes.
Copy !req
260. You sold the rope
to hang my son.
Copy !req
261. Now you sell me that
which will save him?
Copy !req
262. Well, I'm a businessman, mr. Gallegos.
Copy !req
263. I sell that
which is needed.
Copy !req
264. I make no
distinctions.
Copy !req
265. This will work.
Copy !req
266. I told you,
it's magic.
Copy !req
267. Luis!
Copy !req
268. I'm coming, my son.
Copy !req
269. I'm coming!
Copy !req
270. Just throw some in the air
over their heads
Copy !req
271. and then watch the magic.
Copy !req
272. Yeah, that's right.
Copy !req
273. Then watch the magic.
Copy !req
274. String him up.
Copy !req
275. We waited
long enough.
Copy !req
276. Let's not
stall it.
Copy !req
277. Get it
over with.
Copy !req
278. What are we
waiting for?
Copy !req
279. Hurry it up,
sheriff.
Copy !req
280. Wait!
Copy !req
281. Wait! Wait!
Copy !req
282. You must pay heed
to the magic now.
Copy !req
283. You must stop all of this
and pay heed to the magic.
Copy !req
284. Magic.
Copy !req
285. Magic!
Copy !req
286. You must pay heed
to the magic.
Copy !req
287. All of you!
Copy !req
288. Magic...
Copy !req
289. magic... for love.
Copy !req
290. For compassion.
Copy !req
291. Magically so,
that my son can live.
Copy !req
292. As you yourselves...
you once used to live.
Copy !req
293. Magic... magic.
Copy !req
294. You... you must pay heed
to the... to the magic.
Copy !req
295. It's only
for love.
Copy !req
296. The magic is
for love.
Copy !req
297. The magic is
for the love.
Copy !req
298. Magic...
Copy !req
299. magic.
Copy !req
300. You must pay heed to the magic.
Copy !req
301. Magic...
Copy !req
302. it is for love.
Copy !req
303. It is
for love.
Copy !req
304. The magic... is for love.
Copy !req
305. No!
Copy !req
306. No...
Copy !req
307. but it was a new rope.
Copy !req
308. Five-strand
hemp.
Copy !req
309. Nobody could have broken it.
Copy !req
310. It couldn't have gotten broken.
Copy !req
311. What about it, mr. Canfield,
mrs. Canfield?
Copy !req
312. Oh, please,
please.
Copy !req
313. It's the magic.
Copy !req
314. You cannot try
to defeat the magic.
Copy !req
315. Let's try
it again.
Copy !req
316. There are only two people here
Copy !req
317. who have the right
to ask for an eye for an eye.
Copy !req
318. What about it, mrs. Canfield?
Copy !req
319. No more today,
john.
Copy !req
320. No more.
Copy !req
321. He killed our child.
Copy !req
322. And part of himself
while doing it.
Copy !req
323. And he's suffered
enough.
Copy !req
324. Sheriff koch,
there must be...
Copy !req
325. there must be another
hand in all of this
Copy !req
326. for the rope
to break like that.
Copy !req
327. Another hand.
Copy !req
328. Maybe...
Copy !req
329. maybe the hand
of providence.
Copy !req
330. You want to stop it
then, mr. Canfield?
Copy !req
331. John?
Copy !req
332. We leave it
like this?
Copy !req
333. We leave it like this.
Copy !req
334. One victim is enough.
Copy !req
335. I think we should
all go home now.
Copy !req
336. I...
Copy !req
337. I'm free.
Copy !req
338. Are any of us
free, luis?
Copy !req
339. Well, you can
go home now.
Copy !req
340. You have
that much freedom.
Copy !req
341. Luis,
it was magic.
Copy !req
342. It was...
magic dust.
Copy !req
343. It brought back love
to the people.
Copy !req
344. Yes, father, it was magic.
Copy !req
345. It's time to go home now.
Copy !req
346. Please, let's go home now.
Copy !req
347. New rope.
Copy !req
348. Brand-new rope.
Copy !req
349. Go ahead. Take 'em.
Copy !req
350. They're yours.
Copy !req
351. Why?
Copy !req
352. Don't understand.
Copy !req
353. Why?
Copy !req
354. It must be magic.
Copy !req
355. That's what she is, magic.
Copy !req
356. It was a very small,
misery-laden village
Copy !req
357. on the day of a hanging
Copy !req
358. and of little
historical consequence
Copy !req
359. and if there's
any moral to it at all
Copy !req
360. let's say that
in any quest for magic
Copy !req
361. in any search for sorcery,
witchery, legerdemain
Copy !req
362. first check the human heart.
Copy !req
363. For inside this deep place
there's a wizardry
Copy !req
364. that costs far more
than a few pieces of gold.
Copy !req
365. Tonight's case in point
in the twilight zone.
Copy !req
366. Rod serling, the creator
oftwilight zone
Copy !req
367. will tell you
about next week's story
Copy !req
368. after this word
from our alternate sponsor.
Copy !req
369. And now, mr. Serling.
Copy !req
370. In this rather posh club,
you'll see a group of men
Copy !req
371. argue a somewhat metaphysical
subject like time travel.
Copy !req
372. One of them maintains it's
possible to go back in time
Copy !req
373. make a few changes in history,
and, as a result
Copy !req
374. do quite a job on the present
Copy !req
375. in this case the assassination
of one abraham lincoln.
Copy !req
376. Next week, a story called
"back there."
Copy !req
377. I'd like you all
to come with us.
Copy !req
378. I think you'll find it
a most exciting journey.
Copy !req
379. Thank you and good night.
