2. You're traveling
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. I know it's...
it's an incredible story.
Copy !req
9. I, of all people, know this,
that you won't believe me
Copy !req
10. no, not at first.
Copy !req
11. But I'm going to tell you
the whole thing.
Copy !req
12. Then you will believe,
because you must.
Copy !req
13. You must believe!
Copy !req
14. It happened many years ago,
after the first world war.
Copy !req
15. I was on a walking trip
through central europe.
Copy !req
16. But one night I...
one night I got lost in a storm.
Copy !req
17. Yes? What is it?
Copy !req
18. Please...
Copy !req
19. please, let me in.
Copy !req
20. I'm lost.
Copy !req
21. I'm sorry, we don't
allow visitors
Copy !req
22. in the hermitage.
Copy !req
23. Oh, I'm not
a visitor.
Copy !req
24. I'm... I'm
a stranger here.
Copy !req
25. I'm... I'm lost.
Copy !req
26. No, you don't
understand.
Copy !req
27. I'm lost.
Copy !req
28. I'll be all right
once I dry out.
Copy !req
29. Wait here.
Copy !req
30. I have to speak
to brother jerome.
Copy !req
31. Brother jerome
will see you now.
Copy !req
32. What was that?
Copy !req
33. The wind.
Copy !req
34. Come.
Copy !req
35. Why have you come here?
Copy !req
36. My... my name is ellington.
Copy !req
37. I'm on a walking trip,
but got lost in the storm.
Copy !req
38. Excuse me.
Copy !req
39. I saw light here.
Copy !req
40. What do you want from us?
Copy !req
41. Shelter
Copy !req
42. and maybe
some food.
Copy !req
43. We cannot help you.
Copy !req
44. You will have to leave.
Copy !req
45. Now, mr. Ellington... now.
Copy !req
46. The prostrate form
of mr. David ellington-
Copy !req
47. scholar, seeker of truth, and
regrettably, finder of truth-
Copy !req
48. a man who will shortly arise
from his exhaustion
Copy !req
49. to confront a problem
that has tormented mankind
Copy !req
50. since the beginning of time-
Copy !req
51. a man who knocked on a door
seeking sanctuary
Copy !req
52. and found instead the outer
edges of the twilight zone.
Copy !req
53. Help me!
Copy !req
54. No, please, in the name
of mercy, help me.
Copy !req
55. You're not one of them.
Copy !req
56. No, my name
is ellington.
Copy !req
57. I'm an american.
Copy !req
58. Shh!
Copy !req
59. We have only moments.
Copy !req
60. Come closer... come.
Copy !req
61. They're mad,
mr. Ellington...
Copy !req
62. all of them, raving mad.
Copy !req
63. Listen, I was in the village
in schwartzwald.
Copy !req
64. I was walking in the street
with my woman.
Copy !req
65. We paused to rest by a tree
Copy !req
66. and we kissed.
Copy !req
67. Is it wrong to kiss?
Copy !req
68. Tell me.
Copy !req
69. I... I don't think so.
Copy !req
70. Of course you don't.
Copy !req
71. You don't think so,
I don't think so.
Copy !req
72. But jerome...
the lecherous old fool.
Copy !req
73. We looked up... and I saw him
standing close by.
Copy !req
74. I tried to open
my mouth to speak,
Copy !req
75. but before I could
utter a sound,
Copy !req
76. he raised that heavy staff
he carries.
Copy !req
77. You've seen it?
Copy !req
78. And he hit me again and again.
Copy !req
79. Why?
Copy !req
80. For revenge.
Copy !req
81. Because she refused
his advances.
Copy !req
82. He took his fury out on me.
Copy !req
83. I... I'm sorry, I... I find this
difficult to believe.
Copy !req
84. Of course you do,
mr. Ellington.
Copy !req
85. That's the strength
of the man.
Copy !req
86. He makes his madness
seem a harmless thing.
Copy !req
87. The... the madness
of a religious zealot.
Copy !req
88. This is not a religious order,
mr. Ellington.
Copy !req
89. These so-called
brothers of truth,
Copy !req
90. they're outcasts, misfits,
cut off from the world
Copy !req
91. because the world
won't have them.
Copy !req
92. Mr. Ellington,
please.
Copy !req
93. You must
believe me.
Copy !req
94. I don't say they're evil.
Copy !req
95. I say they're mad.
Copy !req
96. Where are you going?
Copy !req
97. I'll speak to jerome.
Copy !req
98. No! He's the greatest
maniac of them all.
Copy !req
99. But then how can
I help you?
Copy !req
100. Mr. Ellington!
Copy !req
101. I did not know
Copy !req
102. that you were
well enough to walk.
Copy !req
103. Come with me,
please.
Copy !req
104. I must talk
with you.
Copy !req
105. This way.
Copy !req
106. I must ask you to leave
the hermitage, mr. Ellington.
Copy !req
107. We have no facilities
for the care of the ill.
Copy !req
108. Arrangements can made
at schwartzwald.
Copy !req
109. Just a minute.
Copy !req
110. No, not a minute, not another second, mr. Ellington
- now!
Copy !req
111. Why?
Copy !req
112. I have already
explained that.
Copy !req
113. No, you've
explained nothing.
Copy !req
114. No one asked me to come
here, I realize that,
Copy !req
115. but that's no excuse
for your behavior.
Copy !req
116. My son...
Copy !req
117. I'm not your son.
Copy !req
118. You don't understand.
Copy !req
119. That's right, I don't.
Copy !req
120. So why don't you tell me?
Copy !req
121. Why are you in such
a hurry for me to leave?
Copy !req
122. What are you afraid
I'll find out?
Copy !req
123. It's the man you have
locked up in the cell,
Copy !req
124. isn't it, brother?
Copy !req
125. Well, that isn't
a secret anymore.
Copy !req
126. I know about him.
Copy !req
127. What man is this,
mr. Ellington?
Copy !req
128. The one we just left.
Copy !req
129. The one who's been
screaming his head off.
Copy !req
130. I'm not sure you know
what you're saying.
Copy !req
131. Look, brother,
Copy !req
132. I don't know much
about this cult of yours-
Copy !req
133. what's permitted,
what isn't permitted-
Copy !req
134. but I seriously doubt
if you have the authority
Copy !req
135. to imprison a man
against his will.
Copy !req
136. That is quite true.
Copy !req
137. We have
no such authority.
Copy !req
138. Then why have you done it?
Copy !req
139. No man has ever
been imprisoned
Copy !req
140. in the hermitage,
mr. Ellington.
Copy !req
141. I was just talking
with him.
Copy !req
142. You talked to no man.
Copy !req
143. You have been very ill,
mr. Ellington.
Copy !req
144. You've suffered
delirium.
Copy !req
145. Oh, now don't tell me
you didn't hear that.
Copy !req
146. Honest men make
unconvincing liars.
Copy !req
147. I'll find out
eventually, you know?
Copy !req
148. What do you mean?
Copy !req
149. Just what I say.
Copy !req
150. The police will be
very interested to learn
Copy !req
151. that you people are keeping
a man in prison here.
Copy !req
152. I tell you,
there is no man!
Copy !req
153. All right, just forget it.
Copy !req
154. Mr. Ellington...
Copy !req
155. yes?
Copy !req
156. Would you really
go to the police?
Copy !req
157. Would you?
Copy !req
158. Very well.
Copy !req
159. I have told you
the truth
Copy !req
160. but only
a part of it.
Copy !req
161. Now I see I shall
have to tell you
Copy !req
162. the whole truth.
Copy !req
163. Shut the door,
mr. Ellington.
Copy !req
164. Then you do hear it?
Copy !req
165. As I have heard it
every hour of every day
Copy !req
166. for five long years.
Copy !req
167. Why did
you lie?
Copy !req
168. I didn't.
Copy !req
169. When I told you that no man
howled at the hermitage,
Copy !req
170. I was being perfectly honest.
Copy !req
171. What you saw is not a man.
Copy !req
172. It is the devil himself.
Copy !req
173. Yes, the devil himself.
Copy !req
174. What you saw in the cell
is satan.
Copy !req
175. Otherwise known
as the dark angel,
Copy !req
176. ahriman, asmodeus,
belial, diabolus, the devil.
Copy !req
177. You asked for the truth.
Copy !req
178. Now you have it.
Copy !req
179. You do believe me,
don't you?
Copy !req
180. Uh... sure, of course.
Copy !req
181. No, now it is you who are
lying, mr. Ellington.
Copy !req
182. You don't
believe me at all.
Copy !req
183. Quite to the contrary.
Copy !req
184. You're now quite certain
of what you suspected-
Copy !req
185. that I am mad.
Copy !req
186. Sit down,
mr. Ellington
Copy !req
187. and we'll see.
Copy !req
188. Let me tell you a story
Copy !req
189. and we'll see how certain
you are that I am mad-
Copy !req
190. how certain you are
of anything.
Copy !req
191. I suppose you fancy yourself
a sophisticated man.
Copy !req
192. You consider us to be primitive
Copy !req
193. because we live
here in solitude,
Copy !req
194. away from the so-called
"real world."
Copy !req
195. We are misfits.
Copy !req
196. No, no...
Copy !req
197. oh, please.
Copy !req
198. I know all the theories.
Copy !req
199. I assure you, brother, that...
Copy !req
200. no, mr. Ellington.
Copy !req
201. It is I who am assuring you.
Copy !req
202. I am not the ignorant fanatic
I would appear.
Copy !req
203. Oh, I coped with your world
for 40 years...
Copy !req
204. and rather successfully at that.
Copy !req
205. The best schools,
a degree in philosophy,
Copy !req
206. a job that took me
to the ends of the earth.
Copy !req
207. This beard...
Copy !req
208. this staff...
Copy !req
209. and this faith...
Copy !req
210. are merely the results
of a different point of view.
Copy !req
211. If you could
understand that,
Copy !req
212. you could listen
to what I have to say
Copy !req
213. with an open mind.
Copy !req
214. Five years ago, there were
no howls in the hermitage.
Copy !req
215. There was simply
the bombed-out ruin
Copy !req
216. of an old castle belonging
to the family wolfen.
Copy !req
217. Baron wolfen gave it
to the brotherhood of truth
Copy !req
218. as a gesture of charity.
Copy !req
219. Our job was
to tend the vineyards
Copy !req
220. and save what souls we could
by constant prayer.
Copy !req
221. But this isn't a religious
order, is it, brother?
Copy !req
222. We feel that we are
recognized by god.
Copy !req
223. Truth is
our dogma.
Copy !req
224. We believe it to be
man's greatest weapon
Copy !req
225. against the devil,
who is the father of all lies.
Copy !req
226. All right, go on
with your story.
Copy !req
227. You were tending
the vineyards.
Copy !req
228. At that time, shortly
after the great war,
Copy !req
229. the world was in chaos.
Copy !req
230. Everywhere
was unhappiness
Copy !req
231. except in this
little village below.
Copy !req
232. For some reason,
the people of schwartzwald
Copy !req
233. refused to yield
to despair.
Copy !req
234. They lost none
of their faith.
Copy !req
235. They continued as they
had been for centuries-
Copy !req
236. honest, god-fearing
and happy.
Copy !req
237. This village was
a plum to satan
Copy !req
238. one he could not resist,
so he came here
Copy !req
239. and embarked upon
a program of corruption.
Copy !req
240. But you stopped him.
Copy !req
241. Yes!
Copy !req
242. You see, mr. Ellington,
Copy !req
243. he made the same mistake
thatyouhave made.
Copy !req
244. He underestimatedme.
Copy !req
245. He thought he would
have no difficulty
Copy !req
246. in tempting the old fool.
Copy !req
247. But I had him in a cell before
he knew what happened.
Copy !req
248. But if he's the devil,
how do you keep him locked up?
Copy !req
249. With the staff of truth-
Copy !req
250. the one barrier he cannot pass.
Copy !req
251. Tell me, how did
yourecognize him?
Copy !req
252. He doesn't look evil.
Copy !req
253. The devil hath power
to assume a pleasing shape.
Copy !req
254. I had seen him before
in all parts of the world
Copy !req
255. in all forms and guises,
wherever there was sin
Copy !req
256. wherever there
was strife
Copy !req
257. wherever there was corruption, persecution
Copy !req
258. there he was also.
Copy !req
259. Sometimes he was only a
spectator, a face in the crowd,
Copy !req
260. but always he was there.
Copy !req
261. Now...
Copy !req
262. you see, I hope,
why you must say nothing
Copy !req
263. of what you've seen
and heard here.
Copy !req
264. Brother, it's not
that I doubt you
Copy !req
265. you understand,
only isn't it possible
Copy !req
266. you might have
made a mistake?
Copy !req
267. No! Think,
mr. Ellington.
Copy !req
268. Think of the peace
of the world
Copy !req
269. these last five years.
Copy !req
270. Think of
this country now.
Copy !req
271. Is there
another like it?
Copy !req
272. You haven't put
an end to suffering.
Copy !req
273. There's still
murders, robberies.
Copy !req
274. Even now while
we're talking,
Copy !req
275. people are starving.
Copy !req
276. The suffering man
wasmeantto endure.
Copy !req
277. We cause most of
our own griefs.
Copy !req
278. We need no help
from him.
Copy !req
279. It is the unnatural
catastrophes,
Copy !req
280. the great wars, the
overwhelming pestilences
Copy !req
281. the wholesale sinning
that we have stopped.
Copy !req
282. I believe you, brother.
Copy !req
283. Do youtruly?
Copy !req
284. Yes.
Copy !req
285. I admit, I was
doubtful at first,
Copy !req
286. but you've convinced me,
absolutely.
Copy !req
287. I promise to keep
your secret.
Copy !req
288. Good, my son.
Copy !req
289. Tomorrow, if you
feel well enough,
Copy !req
290. you may leave.
Copy !req
291. In the meantime,
Copy !req
292. brother christophorus
will look after you.
Copy !req
293. Please, go directly
to his room.
Copy !req
294. Good night, brother.
Copy !req
295. He lied to you, didn't he?
Copy !req
296. I can see that.
Copy !req
297. What did he say?
Copy !req
298. He said you
were the devil.
Copy !req
299. The devil...
Copy !req
300. that's good.
Copy !req
301. That's wonderful.
Copy !req
302. What a dream
for an old devil-
Copy !req
303. to catch the devil
and lock him up.
Copy !req
304. You don't believe him,
do you?
Copy !req
305. No, of course not.
Copy !req
306. Then help me.
Copy !req
307. Look, here, why don't I just
go get the authorities?
Copy !req
308. It would be
my death warrant.
Copy !req
309. The authorities would return
and find nothing.
Copy !req
310. Jerome is mad...
Copy !req
311. but he's shrewd, too.
Copy !req
312. Brother jerome was fearful
you might lose your way.
Copy !req
313. Come.
Copy !req
314. Why are you locking
the door?
Copy !req
315. To protect you.
Copy !req
316. Rest now, mr. Ellington.
Copy !req
317. Remember you're still
a very sick man.
Copy !req
318. You've come.
Copy !req
319. Good!
Copy !req
320. What do you
want me to do?
Copy !req
321. Lift off
the wooden bolt.
Copy !req
322. Is this all
that holds you in?
Copy !req
323. Yes, lift it off.
Copy !req
324. Well, why haven't
you done it yourself?
Copy !req
325. Please, there's
no time for talk.
Copy !req
326. Mr. Ellington,
in the name of mercy.
Copy !req
327. If you fail now,
they'll kill both of us.
Copy !req
328. Don't you understand that?
Copy !req
329. Hurry, hurry!
Copy !req
330. Stop! Stop!
Copy !req
331. Put this on- the storm.
Copy !req
332. I'm sorry
for you, my son.
Copy !req
333. All your life
Copy !req
334. you will remember
this night
Copy !req
335. and you'll know,
mr. Ellington
Copy !req
336. whom you have
turned loose
Copy !req
337. upon the world.
Copy !req
338. I... I didn't believe you.
Copy !req
339. I... I saw him and
didn't recognize him.
Copy !req
340. That is
man's weakness
Copy !req
341. and satan's
strength.
Copy !req
342. In that moment
Copy !req
343. I decided to spend the rest
of my life tracking him down
Copy !req
344. to recapture
the evil I'd released
Copy !req
345. the evil that soon took the
shape of the second world war
Copy !req
346. the Korean war,
the hideous new weapons of war.
Copy !req
347. I swore I'd find him again
as brother jerome had done.
Copy !req
348. It took many years,
but I did it.
Copy !req
349. See, I have him in there now.
Copy !req
350. So you understand now?
Copy !req
351. You understand why you must not
Copy !req
352. under any circumstances,
go near that door.
Copy !req
353. You see
how important it is
Copy !req
354. that he stay locked up.
Copy !req
355. Good.
Copy !req
356. I am sending him back
to brother jerome.
Copy !req
357. He'll do a bit of howling,
but pay no attention to that.
Copy !req
358. It's a trick, I know.
Copy !req
359. Yes, I must go now.
Copy !req
360. I must go, I...
Copy !req
361. I have
preparations to make.
Copy !req
362. I'll be back
in just a few minutes.
Copy !req
363. Remember... remember...
Copy !req
364. keep that door locked.
Copy !req
365. You can catch the devil,
but you can't hold him long.
Copy !req
366. Ask brother jerome,
ask david ellington.
Copy !req
367. They know,
and they'll go on knowing
Copy !req
368. till the end of their days, and
beyond, in the twilight zone.
Copy !req
369. Rod serling, creator
of the twilight zone,
Copy !req
370. will tell you about
next week's story
Copy !req
371. after this word from
our alternate sponsor.
Copy !req
372. And now, mr. Serling.
Copy !req
373. Next week, you'll see
these bandages unwrapped,
Copy !req
374. and you'll get a good, close
look at the face beneath them.
Copy !req
375. It's an excursion into the odd
Copy !req
376. and into the very,
very different.
Copy !req
377. Our play is called
"the eye of the beholder,"
Copy !req
378. and it comes recommended.
Copy !req
379. I hope we'll see you next week
onthe twilight zone.
Copy !req
380. Thank you and good night.
Copy !req
381. Be sure and see
the colgate-palmolive company's
Copy !req
382. new comedy show,
my sister eileen
Copy !req
383. wednesday night on many
of these same stations.
Copy !req
