I need help.
Copy !req
10. Who are you?
Copy !req
11. An officer.
Police.
Copy !req
12. Please, open the door.
I need help.
Copy !req
13. You're lying to me.
I know you.
Copy !req
14. You can't fool me.
-Help.
Copy !req
15. You're lying.
You're no policeman.
Copy !req
16. Why can't you leave me alone?
Copy !req
17. I know who you are.
Copy !req
18. I know what you are.
Copy !req
19. An old woman living in a nightmare.
Copy !req
20. An old woman who has fought
a thousand battles with death
Copy !req
21. and always won.
Copy !req
22. Now she's faced with a grim decision:
Whether or not to open a door.
Copy !req
23. And in some strange way, she knows
that this seemingly ordinary door...
Copy !req
24. leads to The Twilight Zone.
Copy !req
25. Won't somebody help?
Copy !req
26. Unless you help me, I’m going to die.
Copy !req
27. I don't think I can move.
Copy !req
28. Don't say that, it isn't fair.
Copy !req
29. You're trying to trick me.
Don't move.
Copy !req
30. I'll close the door.
-What?
Copy !req
31. I've been shot.
Copy !req
32. I'm bleeding to death.
Please.
Copy !req
33. My name is Harold Beldon.
Copy !req
34. I need a doctor.
Please, call the hospital.
Copy !req
35. I haven't got a telephone.
Copy !req
36. I'd have to unlock the door.
Copy !req
37. You can't ask me to do that.
Copy !req
38. I don't want to die.
Copy !req
39. You understand.
Copy !req
40. I know who you are.
Copy !req
41. You're not going to help me?
Copy !req
42. You're going to let me die?
Copy !req
43. I don't understand.
Copy !req
44. But it hurts.
Oh, it hurts.
Copy !req
45. Stop. Stop.
Copy !req
46. Why do you torture me?
Copy !req
47. It isn't fair.
Copy !req
48. I can't move.
Copy !req
49. Oh, it hurts.
-It isn't fair.
Copy !req
50. I'm still alive.
Copy !req
51. You should try and get some rest.
Really, I feel much better.
Copy !req
52. When the doctor gets here,
he'll take me off your hands.
Copy !req
53. You didn't call the doctor.
Why not?
Copy !req
54. I haven't got a telephone.
-And One of the neighbors?
Copy !req
55. There aren't any,
they've all moved away.
Copy !req
56. Trucks took away their furniture.
First one and then another.
Copy !req
57. Even if I could call
a doctor somehow...
Copy !req
58. I couldn't take a chance
and let him in.
Copy !req
59. Don't you see?
Copy !req
60. He might be him.
Mr. Death.
Copy !req
61. I know he's out there.
He's trying to get in.
Copy !req
62. He comes to the door and knocks.
He begs me to let him in.
Copy !req
63. Last week he said
he came from the gas company.
Copy !req
64. Oh, he's clever.
Copy !req
65. After that, he claimed to be
a contractor hired by the city.
Copy !req
66. I knew who he was.
Copy !req
67. He said this building was condemned,
that I’d have to leave.
Copy !req
68. I kept the door locked,
and he went away.
Copy !req
69. He knows I’m onto him.
Copy !req
70. Mr. Death?
Copy !req
71. Is this a person, like you or me?
Copy !req
72. I know it sounds crazy,
but I know it's true.
Copy !req
73. People die all over the world.
Copy !req
74. How could one man
be in all those places at once?
Copy !req
75. I don't know.
Don't ask me that.
Copy !req
76. Maybe there is more than one.
Maybe...
Copy !req
77. Please don't cry, I...
Copy !req
78. I don't want to hurt you.
Please, I’m sorry.
Copy !req
79. There.
Copy !req
80. At first, I couldn't be sure.
Copy !req
81. It was a long time ago.
I was on a bus.
Copy !req
82. There was an old woman sitting
in front of me knitting socks.
Copy !req
83. There was something about her face.
I thought I knew her.
Copy !req
84. Then this young man got on.
Copy !req
85. There were empty seats,
but he sat down beside her.
Copy !req
86. He didn't say anything,
but his being there upset her.
Copy !req
87. He seemed a nice young man.
Copy !req
88. When she dropped her yarn,
he picked it up.
Copy !req
89. Right in front of me.
He held it out to her.
Copy !req
90. I saw their fingers touch.
Copy !req
91. He got out at the next stop.
Copy !req
92. When the bus reached
the end of the line...
Copy !req
93. she was dead.
Copy !req
94. But you said yourself
she was an old woman.
Copy !req
95. But I’ve seen him since,
several times.
Copy !req
96. I've seen him in crowds,
I’ve watched for him.
Copy !req
97. Every time someone I knew died,
he was there.
Copy !req
98. Once he was a young soldier,
a salesman, a taxi driver.
Copy !req
99. Someone you wouldn't notice
unless you were watching.
Copy !req
100. I wondered why I could see him
and that no one else could.
Copy !req
101. Then I knew.
Copy !req
102. It was because I was getting older
and my time was coming.
Copy !req
103. I could see clearer than
younger people could.
Copy !req
104. But if you knew what he looked like,
why be afraid? You could avoid him.
Copy !req
105. Because his face is always different,
I couldn't be sure.
Copy !req
106. How about when you go out? Couldn't
he touch you then if he wanted to?
Copy !req
107. I never go out.
-Never?
Copy !req
108. I haven't been out for years.
Copy !req
109. What do you do about food?
-A boy delivers it.
Copy !req
110. I leave him money and a list.
Copy !req
111. And I always wait until he's gone
away before I unlock the door.
Copy !req
112. How can you live like this?
-Otherwise I won't live at all.
Copy !req
113. If I don't watch out,
even for a moment, he'll get in.
Copy !req
114. I know he will.
Copy !req
115. I haven't always lived like this.
Copy !req
116. I was young once.
Copy !req
117. People said I was pretty.
Copy !req
118. I lived out in the sunlight.
Copy !req
119. People said I’d spoil
my fine complexion.
Copy !req
120. But I didn't care.
Copy !req
121. I loved outdoor things.
Copy !req
122. I lived out in the sunlight.
Copy !req
123. I've always hated
the dark and the cold.
Copy !req
124. I'm old.
Copy !req
125. I've lived a long time.
Copy !req
126. But I don't want to die.
Copy !req
127. I'd rather live in the dark
than not live at all.
Copy !req
128. Here.
There's nothing to be afraid of.
Copy !req
129. We're alone here.
And there's nobody at the door.
Copy !req
130. You need some rest.
Copy !req
131. And I need help.
Copy !req
132. No.
Copy !req
133. There's nothing to be afraid of.
Copy !req
134. You better answer it.
Copy !req
135. That's right.
Go ahead.
Copy !req
136. Go ahead, answer it.
Copy !req
137. I'm sorry, lady,
but I’ve got my orders.
Copy !req
138. I can't fool around any longer.
Copy !req
139. Easy, lady.
Copy !req
140. Just lie quiet
till you get your strength back.
Copy !req
141. You gave me quite a scare
when you caved in like that.
Copy !req
142. And still I live.
Copy !req
143. You got to understand, ma'am.
Copy !req
144. I don't get no pleasure
out of busting in doors.
Copy !req
145. You don't seem to realize
how important this is.
Copy !req
146. I've got a crew coming in an hour
to pull this tenement down.
Copy !req
147. It's long overdue, ma'am.
I'm surprised it's still standing.
Copy !req
148. And you're really not Mr. Death?
Copy !req
149. What are you talking about?
Copy !req
150. All I know is I got a contract
to demolish this row of buildings.
Copy !req
151. Everybody else moved out long ago.
Copy !req
152. Until the other day,
I thought this building was deserted.
Copy !req
153. I seen them windows boarded up,
and I figured you moved, too.
Copy !req
154. You want me to go outside?
Copy !req
155. You want me to leave here?
I can't.
Copy !req
156. You were notified months ago, right?
I'm just trying to do my job.
Copy !req
157. These buildings were condemned by the
city, and I got to tear them down.
Copy !req
158. How can you?
Copy !req
159. This building has had it.
It's worn out, used up.
Copy !req
160. All these buildings
have got to come down.
Copy !req
161. I ain't a monster, lady.
Copy !req
162. I've got a heart
just like anybody else.
Copy !req
163. You are attached to this place
and not want to see it wrecked.
Copy !req
164. But when a building is old,
it's dangerous.
Copy !req
165. It's got to come down
to make room for a new one.
Copy !req
166. That's life, lady.
Copy !req
167. Old make room for the new.
Copy !req
168. People get the idea
that I’m kind of destroyer.
Copy !req
169. They think I get kicks
out of tearing stuff down.
Copy !req
170. That ain't the way it is.
Copy !req
171. I just clear the ground
so other people can build.
Copy !req
172. In a way, I help them do it.
Copy !req
173. Look around.
It's the way things are.
Copy !req
174. A big tree falls, and a new one
grow right out of the same ground.
Copy !req
175. Old animals die and
young ones take their places.
Copy !req
176. Even people step aside
when it's time.
Copy !req
177. I won't.
Copy !req
178. The door.
Copy !req
179. There's no need in that.
Copy !req
180. What's the sense of locking a door
that won't even be here in an hour?
Copy !req
181. Any possessions you'd want to keep,
I’d move them out. I'll help you.
Copy !req
182. I’ve been trying to go easy...
Copy !req
183. but if you insist on staying here,
I’ll have to call a cop.
Copy !req
184. Please cooperate, lady.
-Of course.
Copy !req
185. Explain to him. Tell him the
reason I can't go out there.
Copy !req
186. You'll help me, won't you?
-What are you doing?
Copy !req
187. Who are you talking to?
-Mr. Beldon is a policeman.
Copy !req
188. Please tell him.
Copy !req
189. Sorry. If you're still here when
the crew arrives, I’ll call a cop.
Copy !req
190. Why didn't you help me?
Copy !req
191. I thought you understood.
Copy !req
192. You.
Copy !req
193. He looked right at you
and didn't see you.
Copy !req
194. No.
Copy !req
195. Look in the mirror, Wanda.
Copy !req
196. You tricked me.
Copy !req
197. It was you all the time.
Copy !req
198. Yes. I tricked you.
-But why?
Copy !req
199. The moment I let you inside,
you could have taken me anytime.
Copy !req
200. But you were nice.
Copy !req
201. You made me trust you.
Copy !req
202. I had to make you understand.
Copy !req
203. Am I really so bad?
Copy !req
204. Am I really so frightening?
Copy !req
205. You've talked to me,
you've confided in me.
Copy !req
206. Have I tried to hurt you?
Copy !req
207. It isn't me you're afraid of.
You understand me.
Copy !req
208. What you're afraid of is the unknown.
Copy !req
209. Don't be afraid.
Copy !req
210. But I am afraid.
Copy !req
211. The running's over.
Copy !req
212. It's time to rest.
Copy !req
213. Give me your hand.
Copy !req
214. But I don't want to die.
Copy !req
215. Trust me.
Copy !req
216. No.
Copy !req
217. Mother...
Copy !req
218. give me your hand.
Copy !req
219. You see?
No shock.
Copy !req
220. No engulfment.
No tearing asunder.
Copy !req
221. What you feared would
come like an explosion...
Copy !req
222. is like a whisper.
Copy !req
223. What you thought was the end
is the beginning.
Copy !req
224. When will it happen?
Copy !req
225. When will we go?
-Go?
Copy !req
226. Look.
Copy !req
227. We have already begun.
Copy !req
228. There was an old woman
who lived in a room...
Copy !req
229. and, like all of us,
was frightened of the dark.
Copy !req
230. But who discovered in a minute
last fragment of her life:
Copy !req
231. There was nothing in the dark that
wasn't there when the lights were on.
Copy !req
232. Object lesson for the more
frightened amongst us, in or out...
Copy !req
233. of The Twilight Zone.
Copy !req
234. Rod serling,
creator of The Twilight Zone,
Copy !req
235. will tell you about next week's
story after this message.
Copy !req
236. And now, Mr. Serling.
Copy !req
237. Next week we let you in
on an extravagant practical joke.
Copy !req
238. A man who wants to convey an illusion
that the world is coming to an end.
Copy !req
239. Now there are jokes and there are
jokes, but this one is very bizarre.
Copy !req
240. Our play is called:
One more Pallbearer.
Copy !req
241. And we commend it to you
as something quite special.
