1. There is a fifth dimension

2. Beyond that Which is known to man.

3. It is a dimension As vast as space

4. And as timeless as infinity.

5. It is the middle ground Between light and shadow.

6. Between science And superstition.

7. It lies between the pit Of man's fears,

8. And the summit Of his knowledge.

9. This is the dimension Of imagination

10. It is an area Which we call The twilight zone.

11. The time is the day After tomorrow,

12. The place, a far Corner of the universe.

13. The cast of characters, three Men lost amongst the stars,

14. Three men sharing the common Urgency of all men lost.

15. They're looking for home.

16. And in a moment They'll find home.

17. Not a home that is A place to be seen

18. But a strange, unexplainable Experience to be felt.

19. I hear The atmosphere.

20. Keep your fingers Crossed, Pete. This may be it.

21. It better be; We're about Out of fuel.

22. 20.95 parts oxygen

23. 78.09 nitrogen.

24. I don't get it, That's air.

25. Gravity, unit one.

26. That's incredible. Conditions identical To Earth

27. And yet we're 655 million miles

28. Away from Earth.

29. Wait a minute, Pete.

30. These instruments Could be wrong.

31. What's The difference?

32. We're not going Anywhere now.

33. Yeah, I guess You're right.

34. How far did you say We were from Earth?

35. 655 million miles.

36. We're back On Earth.

37. No.

38. No? What do You call that, A Martian?

39. Here, boy, Come on.

40. Well, anyway, look At those trees.

41. It's got To be Earth.

42. Well, what do You call that?

43. It's called A tractor.

44. They were in Use on Earth

45. During the 20th century Before the total war.

46. You mean, We're on Earth 200 years ago.

47. It's an Interesting Theory, Pete

48. And as possible As any other

49. Except that To my knowledge

50. Earth has never had More than one sun.

51. All right. You explain it.

52. The only thing I'm certain of

53. Is that we're Not on Earth.

54. We're Not alone.

55. Excuse me, Sir.

56. My name Is Webber,

57. We hate to Bother you—

58. What's the matter With him?

59. Seems to be In some sort

60. Of a trance or—

61. Let's get Out of here.

62. Hey, look, There's somebody!

63. Hey, mister!

64. Mister!

65. How are they biting?

66. Mister?

67. Hey, wake up.

68. Do you hear that?

69. The music, a band, Do you hear it?

70. There's somebody here.

71. It seems To be coming From over there.

72. The music's coming From that loudspeaker.

73. It's being piped In from somewhere.

74. Look!

75. Concert's Over.

76. Well, any ideas, Professor?

77. Well, I suppose

78. It could be some Sort of illusion.

79. Yes, maybe We're being made To see and hear

80. What we hope To find

81. The sights and Sounds of home.

82. No, no, that's All wrong.

83. This is more Than 200 years

84. Ahead of our time.

85. Or it could be

86. That time itself Is suspended here.

87. Or time may have, In a sense

88. Have speeded up For us

89. Or slowed down For them.

90. You mean, they might Actually be moving?

91. It's possible.

92. Then why can't We see it?

93. Well, you don't See the movements

94. Of a clock's hands

95. Nevertheless They do move.

96. Well, this clock Has no hands.

97. Carl, do you Really believe

98. What you're Saying?

99. No, of Course not.

100. But they're not Just statues.

104. It's got To be here.

105. Now, I say Separate

106. And meet back Here in one hour.

256. As a service To those who Could afford it.

257. "This scheme" Being?

258. This little Asteroid

259. Where we would recreate The exact conditions

260. Under which The dear departed Could be most happy.

261. For an example,

262. If the deceased always Wanted to be elected mayor

263. He would achieve His ambition here

264. For all eternity.

265. You mean those people Are all dead?

266. No, no, not all of them. Just a select few.

267. The others are imitations.

268. In other words, This is the place

269. Where your Dreams come true after You've stopped dreaming.

270. Yes, that might Be one way of Putting it.

271. Yes, that's Very good.

272. You expect Us to believe That explanation?

273. I hadn't thought of that.

274. Don't you?

275. It's true, you know.

276. Well, I'll admit

277. We haven't come up With anything better.

278. But a cemetery Out in space.

279. Millions of miles From Earth.

280. Why?

281. Yes, why?

282. Now, your boss Could have bought A piece of desert.

283. Oh, no, no

284. You don't Understand at all.

285. Happy Glades promises Eternal peace

286. Everlasting peace.

287. You couldn't Have that on Earth

289. He has a point.

290. Uh, what About you?

291. Me?

292. Yes, you, how Do you figure In all this?

293. Why, I'm The caretaker.

294. It's my job To make sure

295. That our guests Are not,

296. Disturbed.

297. Well, when did This mortuary— or Whatever it is— begin?

298. 1973, I believe.

299. Yes, yes.

300. That'd make You a bit

301. On the Elderly side

302. Wouldn't it, Mr. Wirewick?

303. Wickwire.

304. Now, I'm afraid You're forcing me

305. Into a rather Embarrassing admission.

306. You see, I'm not Actually human,

307. Oh, I am now

308. But when you've gone

309. I shall go back To sleep again Until I'm needed.

310. You see, I'm— I'm merely A scientific device.

311. I go on and off again Like a machine.

312. You understand.

313. Yes, it's not Very complicated

314. Is it, really?

315. He goes On and off.

316. Yes, I think I must have been Off for about 200 years.

317. Look, mister, You think—

318. All right, All right, Pete.

319. Mr. Wickwire

320. We're Staying here.

321. Yes, I know.

322. Yes, but you Said something

323. About our Being gone.

324. Oh, that's a figure Of speech, captain.

325. I meant "Departed."

326. "Gone on" as it were.

327. Well, you know What he's saying

328. Don't you?

329. I told you not To trust him.

330. I told you!

331. We meant you No harm.

332. I realize that and I'm sorry.

333. Truly I am.

334. The antidote—

335. Give us the antidote.

336. There is no Antidote, captain.

337. Even now the Eternifying fluid

338. Is coursing Through your veins

339. But it— it won't Be painful, I assure you.

340. But why?

341. Why us?

342. Because you are here

343. And you are men

344. And while there are men

345. There can be no peace.
