Copy !req
2. You unlock this door
with the key of imagination.
Copy !req
3. Beyond it is
another dimension-
Copy !req
4. a dimension of sound,
Copy !req
5. a dimension of sight,
Copy !req
6. a dimension of mind.
Copy !req
7. You're moving into a land
of both shadow and substance,
Copy !req
8. of things and ideas.
Copy !req
9. You've just crossed over
into the twilight zone.
Copy !req
10. Been to the
cave, jason?
Copy !req
11. Did you see
goldsmith?
Copy !req
12. Did he talk
to the old man?
Copy !req
13. Goldsmith's
still up there.
Copy !req
14. He said
to tell you
Copy !req
15. he's getting a message
from the old man.
Copy !req
16. He'll bring it down with
him in a few minutes.
Copy !req
17. Is he asking
about this food?
Copy !req
18. It's all pre-bomb,
all of it.
Copy !req
19. It's safe as anything.
Copy !req
20. Why do we have
to keep waiting
Copy !req
21. for the old man?
Copy !req
22. Why don't we just take
our chances with it?
Copy !req
23. We already
took chances.
Copy !req
24. The old man told us
Copy !req
25. not to plant on
the north acreage;
Copy !req
26. that it was
poisonous.
Copy !req
27. This is what came up.
Copy !req
28. Did these grow, evie,
Copy !req
29. or did somebody leave
them to us in a will?
Copy !req
30. They were the best.
Copy !req
31. The best?
Copy !req
32. Hate to see the worst!
Copy !req
33. I don't think we ought
to eat those, evie.
Copy !req
34. I say we just better
bury them with honors.
Copy !req
35. That's what goldsmith
went to the cave for-
Copy !req
36. to ask the old man
Copy !req
37. what land we should
try this time.
Copy !req
38. The old man, indeed.
Copy !req
39. Who knows where he gets
his omniscient knowledge,
Copy !req
40. but evie's right.
Copy !req
41. He knows
about land.
Copy !req
42. Remember those tomatoes
that came up?
Copy !req
43. You remember he sent
a message to goldsmith,
Copy !req
44. telling usnotto plant them?
Copy !req
45. Oh... they were monstrous.
Copy !req
46. Like... rotten watermelons.
Copy !req
47. They tasted...
Copy !req
48. but, jason,
Copy !req
49. all of this stuff's pre-bomb.
Copy !req
50. I just know it.
Copy !req
51. Let's wait for goldsmith.
Copy !req
52. See what the old man has to say.
Copy !req
53. What about
the food?
Copy !req
54. Wait till goldsmith
gets back from the cave.
Copy !req
55. Wait till he has a chance
to ask the old man.
Copy !req
56. I'm surprised
at you, all of you.
Copy !req
57. Man doesn't live by bread
or canned food alone,
Copy !req
58. or freak carrots,
or mutated tomatoes.
Copy !req
59. But do me a favor,
will you?
Copy !req
60. Don't ask me what
hedoeslive by.
Copy !req
61. In this tenth illustrious
year after the bomb,
Copy !req
62. I wouldn't be able
to tell you.
Copy !req
63. Announcement!
Copy !req
64. I have an
announcement.
Copy !req
65. We've just had
communication
Copy !req
66. from the old man
in the cave.
Copy !req
67. There's an 80% possibility
of rain tomorrow.
Copy !req
68. The wind's from the northeast.
Copy !req
69. This means that
there will likely be
Copy !req
70. a very high radioactive count
in the precipitation.
Copy !req
71. Now place all rain
barrels upside down,
Copy !req
72. and keep all
water troughs
covered.
Copy !req
73. As to the canned goods there,
Copy !req
74. the old man says that
they're contaminated
Copy !req
75. and should be
destroyed.
Copy !req
76. What you're looking at
Copy !req
77. is a legacy
that man left to himself.
Copy !req
78. A decade previous,
he pushed his buttons
Copy !req
79. and a nightmarish moment later
woke up to find
Copy !req
80. that he had set the clock back
a thousand years.
Copy !req
81. His engines, his medicines,
his science
Copy !req
82. were buried in a mass tomb
Copy !req
83. covered over by the biggest
gravedigger of them all-
Copy !req
84. a bomb.
Copy !req
85. And this is the earth,
ten years later,
Copy !req
86. a fragment of
what was once a whole,
Copy !req
87. a remnant of
what was once a race.
Copy !req
88. The year is 1974,
and this is the twilight zone.
Copy !req
89. Do you have anyone in charge?
Copy !req
90. I'm in charge.
Copy !req
91. Do you have a name?
Copy !req
92. Goldsmith.
Copy !req
93. Hmm.
Copy !req
94. This place-
Copy !req
95. does it have a name?
Copy !req
96. And if it does... major?
Copy !req
97. If it does, father,
we'd like to hear it.
Copy !req
98. Uh... who are you?
Copy !req
99. Major french is my name.
Copy !req
100. Central states commander.
Copy !req
101. We're being sent around
to organize.
Copy !req
102. Organize?
Copy !req
103. Yes, that's what I said.
Copy !req
104. Now, how many people
do you have here?
Copy !req
105. We haven't counted lately.
Copy !req
106. What about food?
Copy !req
107. There's sufficient.
Copy !req
108. Hmm.
Copy !req
109. You grow your own?
Copy !req
110. Some.
Copy !req
111. We have a supply of prewar
canned goods left over.
Copy !req
112. We'll need some quarters.
Copy !req
113. Harber, have a look around.
Copy !req
114. Douglas, you stay with the jeep.
Copy !req
115. Furman...
Copy !req
116. stay with me.
Copy !req
117. Major, uh,
what do you want?
Copy !req
118. Painless things.
Copy !req
119. We'd like quarters
for the four of us,
Copy !req
120. rations for as
long as we're here
Copy !req
121. and no trouble.
Copy !req
122. That last part-
Copy !req
123. no trouble.
Copy !req
124. I don't think you
understand, major.
Copy !req
125. We don't recognize
your authority here.
Copy !req
126. We've had transients
pass through on occasion,
Copy !req
127. but they didn't stay.
Copy !req
128. Like you, they represented
themselves as authorities,
Copy !req
129. but we discovered they carried
their headquarters with them.
Copy !req
130. They represented
no one but themselves.
Copy !req
131. Well, this is a new breed,
mr. Goldsmith.
Copy !req
132. This whole area will
be organized now.
Copy !req
133. It will be set up
into military sectors,
Copy !req
134. each controlled by
a local constabulary-
Copy !req
135. yours truly.
Copy !req
136. Well, you and
your constabulary
Copy !req
137. can remain overnight
and we'll be glad
Copy !req
138. to share our
food with you,
Copy !req
139. bed you down.
Copy !req
140. Tomorrow morning, you'd better
Copy !req
141. do your organizing
somewhere else.
Copy !req
142. Mr. Goldsmith,
the following is unofficial.
Copy !req
143. Now, we'd like you
to make your transition here
Copy !req
144. as easy as possible.
Copy !req
145. Now, under certain
circumstances,
Copy !req
146. we might even
allow you to remain
Copy !req
147. in nominal control.
Copy !req
148. That's assuming that you
don't give us any trouble.
Copy !req
149. Now, that's unofficial.
Copy !req
150. The following is official.
Copy !req
151. Now, let me fill you in on the
situation here, mr. Goldsmith.
Copy !req
152. Between buffalo, new york,
and atlanta, georgia,
Copy !req
153. there are probably
around 500 people alive.
Copy !req
154. You know why.
Copy !req
155. Because there's
no authority,
Copy !req
156. there's
no discipline.
Copy !req
157. We're here to
give you both.
Copy !req
158. And if you give us any trouble-
Copy !req
159. any trouble
atall-
Copy !req
160. I'm going to hang you
Copy !req
161. from that balcony
right over there.
Copy !req
162. Well, now, what about
it, mr. Goldsmith?
Copy !req
163. You want
to cooperate
Copy !req
164. or do you want
your neck broken?
Copy !req
165. We already have
an authority.
Copy !req
166. We've had him
for better than ten years.
Copy !req
167. Whatisall this?
Copy !req
168. Poison.
Copy !req
169. It's contaminated
food.
Copy !req
170. Who says so?
Copy !req
171. The old man
in the cave.
Copy !req
172. A, uh, old man
in a cave...
Copy !req
173. have any of you looked
at yourselves
Copy !req
174. in the mirror lately?
Copy !req
175. You all look like skeletons,
you know that?
Copy !req
176. Just like skeletons.
Copy !req
177. Where is this old man
who keeps you on a diet?
Copy !req
178. When does he come out?
Copy !req
179. He never
comes out.
Copy !req
180. He stays
in the cave.
Copy !req
181. Well, I'm not surprised,
mr. Goldsmith.
Copy !req
182. I'm not surprised at all.
Copy !req
183. Off lake erie, we've got a pack
of weirdies up there
Copy !req
184. that bay at the moon
once a week.
Copy !req
185. And then around
what used to be chicago,
Copy !req
186. man, we got a real
swinging cult going there.
Copy !req
187. They've built themselves
a statue
Copy !req
188. made out of fissionable lead.
Copy !req
189. This is their deity.
Copy !req
190. What do we have here?
Copy !req
191. We have an invisible
old man in a cave.
Copy !req
192. Now, come on, mr. Goldsmith.
Copy !req
193. Now, when you take it out
Copy !req
194. and run it around the block
a couple of times,
Copy !req
195. don't you think
it sounds kind of nutty?
Copy !req
196. We've survived, major french.
Copy !req
197. The rest of the world has died
Copy !req
198. of radioactivity,
strontium 90, plague.
Copy !req
199. We survived.
Copy !req
200. Because of the old man, huh?
Copy !req
201. That's right,
because of the old man.
Copy !req
202. He cues you in, huh?
Copy !req
203. He tells you
what's poisonous,
Copy !req
204. what's radioactive,
that whole bit?
Copy !req
205. As long as he's alive,
we'll be alive.
Copy !req
206. Do you know something?
Copy !req
207. Now, I don't think any of you
Copy !req
208. are going to die
of radioactivity.
Copy !req
209. I think if you're going to kick
off, you're going to kick off
Copy !req
210. either from malnutrition
or from being conned to death.
Copy !req
211. If that's true, major, at least
it'll be a painless death.
Copy !req
212. Mr. Goldsmith,
Copy !req
213. check this.
Copy !req
214. The booking odds are as follows.
Copy !req
215. 500 to one that your old man
is a soft-in-the-head hermit
Copy !req
216. who doesn't even know
what year it is.
Copy !req
217. That's not for us to say.
Copy !req
218. That's for you toask!
Copy !req
219. All of you!
Copy !req
220. Friends, romans, farm animals,
we are now going up to the cave
Copy !req
221. and check your favorite recluse.
Copy !req
222. We're going to bring him
out in the sunshine
Copy !req
223. and get a good look at him.
Copy !req
224. And then we're going to decide
Copy !req
225. if he's worthwhile
keeping alive.
Copy !req
226. Come on, you're
coming with us.
Copy !req
227. All right, goldsmith,
Copy !req
228. do you want to
tell us about this?
Copy !req
229. How do you open it?
Copy !req
230. I don't know.
Copy !req
231. To my knowledge, it's
never been opened.
Copy !req
232. But the old man
lives inside, right?
Copy !req
233. How does helive?
Copy !req
234. How does he stay alive?
Copy !req
235. I don't know.
Copy !req
236. How do you know
he'sinthere?
Copy !req
237. How do you communicate with him?
Copy !req
238. He sends out
notes... messages.
Copy !req
239. He sends out notes and messages.
Copy !req
240. Well, gentlemen,
we really have a prize here.
Copy !req
241. We get the blue ribbon for this.
Copy !req
242. An idiot leading
the idiots.
Copy !req
243. Douglas, throw me
that hand grenade.
Copy !req
244. You people better
make some tracks.
Copy !req
245. Might make
your eyes smart.
Copy !req
246. Old man, this is
just the beginning!
Copy !req
247. You hear?
Copy !req
248. Just the beginning.
Copy !req
249. Douglas...
Copy !req
250. car.
Copy !req
251. Don't take
this food out.
Copy !req
252. You hear, it's
contaminated.
Copy !req
253. Sure, mr. Goldsmith.
Copy !req
254. Stop it! Listen
to me, all of you.
Copy !req
255. Listen to me!
Copy !req
256. There's every possibility
that all of those cans
Copy !req
257. contain enough strontium 90
Copy !req
258. to kill every man, woman
and child in this village.
Copy !req
259. Oh, come on, mr. Goldsmith,
Copy !req
260. why don't you tell us how
disappointed you are, huh?
Copy !req
261. Oh, mr. Goldsmith,
you are kooky, you know that?
Copy !req
262. You've got enough food
in that pile over there
Copy !req
263. to feed us all
for a good long time.
Copy !req
264. There's enough poison
in those cans
Copy !req
265. to kill us all
in ten days.
Copy !req
266. Most of it was canned
after the bomb.
Copy !req
267. We've no idea
where it came from;
Copy !req
268. who processed it.
Copy !req
269. All right, let's lay it on
the line there, mr. Goldsmith.
Copy !req
270. Here, now.
Copy !req
271. Come on,
who'd like
Copy !req
272. a nice square meal
for a change, huh?
Copy !req
273. Anybody else?
Dig in.
Copy !req
274. Okay, anybody else
want to continue
Copy !req
275. to play
kindergarten games
Copy !req
276. with mr. Goldsmith here,
Copy !req
277. go home
and chew on an old bone.
Copy !req
278. No, don't be fools!
Copy !req
279. Don't commit suicide!
Copy !req
280. Don't let these pack rats
invade our homes,
Copy !req
281. turn order upside down!
Copy !req
282. Stop it, stop it!
Copy !req
283. Don't eat the food.
Copy !req
284. Hey, look
at this!
Copy !req
285. We just repealed prohibition!
Copy !req
286. Just like christmas, huh?
Copy !req
287. Like thanksgiving.
Copy !req
288. Yeah, thanksgiving, too.
Copy !req
289. What's your name?
Copy !req
290. Jason.
Copy !req
291. Jason?
Copy !req
292. Jason and the golden fleece.
Copy !req
293. Yeah, I'm a literate man,
you know that?
Copy !req
294. I went to college, jason.
Copy !req
295. Yeah, I went to college.
Copy !req
296. What did
you learn?
Copy !req
297. Well, if it isn't the
illustrious mr. Goldsmith,
Copy !req
298. keeper of the legend,
protector of the fables,
Copy !req
299. and the lord, high
chamberlain of the cave.
Copy !req
300. You look hungry,
mr. Goldsmith.
Copy !req
301. And thirsty.
Copy !req
302. You've got 100 cases
of that stuff over there.
Copy !req
303. Now, you want to break
every bottle, man,
Copy !req
304. you've got a big job.
Copy !req
305. Do you have any remote idea what
you've brought to this village?
Copy !req
306. Yeah.
Copy !req
307. Yeah, I brought
into this village
Copy !req
308. the first square meal
Copy !req
309. that any of these people
have had in ten years.
Copy !req
310. And the first six protracted
hours of enjoyment
Copy !req
311. that any of them
have had since...
Copy !req
312. you started
leading them
Copy !req
313. around by
the nose.
Copy !req
314. Now, why don't you
unbend, old man?
Copy !req
315. Can you answer me that?
Copy !req
316. Why don't you unbend?
Copy !req
317. You came as intruders,
Copy !req
318. but now you're murderers.
Copy !req
319. Only god knows
how many people
Copy !req
320. will die because
of tonight.
Copy !req
321. The old man
in the cave warned us
Copy !req
322. about this food dozens of times.
Copy !req
323. He warned us.
Copy !req
324. Old man
in the cave!
Copy !req
325. The old man in a cave!
Copy !req
326. Now hear this!
Copy !req
327. There is no old man in the cave!
Copy !req
328. He's a lie!
Copy !req
329. He's a concoction.
Copy !req
330. Nobody's seen him,
nobody's heard him,
Copy !req
331. nobody knows who he is,
or where he's from.
Copy !req
332. You made him up.
Copy !req
333. You cut him
out of whole cloth!
Copy !req
334. Now, I don't know what
your graft is, goldsmith...
Copy !req
335. I don't know
how you get paid off,
Copy !req
336. but I do know
that it's time
Copy !req
337. you let these people know
what's in that cave.
Copy !req
338. Open the cave,
goldsmith.
Copy !req
339. You'll have to
kill me first.
Copy !req
340. Mister, I have killed
a hundred times you.
Copy !req
341. That's how
I've stayed alive.
Copy !req
342. Jason, gather up
Copy !req
343. your people
Copy !req
344. and we're going up
to the cave.
Copy !req
345. He'll open it for us.
Copy !req
346. Harber, follow me.
Copy !req
347. Everybody!
Copy !req
348. Everybody,
he's going up to the cave.
Copy !req
349. Get him out of there!
Copy !req
350. Please, please,
all of you, listen.
Copy !req
351. Listen to me.
Copy !req
352. There's no reason,
no reason under the sun
Copy !req
353. why this cave
must be opened;
Copy !req
354. why you must see
the old man.
Copy !req
355. All you have to know is
that he's kept us alive.
Copy !req
356. He's let us survive.
Copy !req
357. Goldsmith, we've survived
for ten years!
Copy !req
358. But we haven't lived.
Copy !req
359. Jason, he didn't drop the bomb.
Copy !req
360. He didn't kill off this earth.
Copy !req
361. We did that to ourselves.
Copy !req
362. All he's done is to let us
survive our mistake.
Copy !req
363. All he's done is to let us plant
a seed again and let it grow.
Copy !req
364. All the compassion
that's left on this earth
Copy !req
365. is in that cave.
Copy !req
366. Well, then,
make him open the cave!
Copy !req
367. Let's see the
old man now!
Copy !req
368. Open up
that door!
Copy !req
369. All right.
Copy !req
370. My god!
Copy !req
371. My dear god!
Copy !req
372. It's a machine.
Copy !req
373. It's a computer.
Copy !req
374. There's your old man,
there's your tyrant.
Copy !req
375. Kill it.
Copy !req
376. Well, you've got to kill it.
Copy !req
377. You've been hungry
long enough.
Copy !req
378. Now, kill it!
Copy !req
379. All right,
all right!
Copy !req
380. All right!
Copy !req
381. All right, you're free now.
Copy !req
382. You understand?
Copy !req
383. You're free!
Copy !req
384. When we talked about the ways
that men could die,
Copy !req
385. we forgot the chief method
of execution.
Copy !req
386. We forgot faithlessness,
major french.
Copy !req
387. Maybe you're not to blame.
Copy !req
388. Maybe if it weren't you,
it would have been someone else.
Copy !req
389. Maybe this has to be
the destiny of man.
Copy !req
390. I wonder if that's true.
Copy !req
391. I wonder.
Copy !req
392. I guess I'll never know.
Copy !req
393. I guess I'll never know.
Copy !req
394. Mr. Goldsmith, survivor,
Copy !req
395. an eyewitness to
man's imperfection,
Copy !req
396. an observer of
the very human trait of greed
Copy !req
397. and a chronicler
