1
00:00:10,010 --> 00:00:13,096
You're tra vel/ng
through another dimension...

2
00:00:13,180 --> 00:00:16,308
A dimension not onl y of
sightand sound, but of mind,

3
00:00:16,391 --> 00:00:18,227
a journey into a wondrous land

4
00:00:18,310 --> 00:00:20,521
whose boundaries
are tha t of ima Gina tion.

5
00:00:20,604 --> 00:00:22,564
Your next stop,
the twilight zone.

6
00:00:33,951 --> 00:00:37,120
Mr. Chambers? Mr. Chambers?

7
00:00:37,204 --> 00:00:39,122
It is the meal time.

8
00:00:39,206 --> 00:00:42,417
Kindl y sta te
your preference, please.

9
00:00:42,501 --> 00:00:44,378
Mr. Chambers?

10
00:00:44,461 --> 00:00:46,129
It is the meal time.

11
00:00:46,213 --> 00:00:49,132
Kindl y sta te
your preference, please.

12
00:00:53,262 --> 00:00:56,515
Please deposit cigarettes
in appropria te receptacle.

13
00:00:56,598 --> 00:00:58,517
This is a safety measure.

14
00:00:58,600 --> 00:01:00,811
Why don't you take a
flying jump at the moon?

15
00:01:00,894 --> 00:01:02,604
Kindl y repea t request.

16
00:01:02,688 --> 00:01:04,565
Aw, knock it off,
leave me alone.

17
00:01:04,648 --> 00:01:07,568
You do not care
for food a t this time?

18
00:01:07,609 --> 00:01:09,570
Yes, I do not care
for food at this time.

19
00:01:09,611 --> 00:01:10,611
Very well.

20
00:01:12,322 --> 00:01:16,952
"Very well... Very, very well."

21
00:01:35,637 --> 00:01:37,848
Please conserve water.

22
00:01:49,067 --> 00:01:50,986
What time is it?

23
00:01:51,069 --> 00:01:52,988
There is no time in space.

24
00:01:53,071 --> 00:01:54,990
This is to sa y,

25
00:01:55,073 --> 00:01:57,451
there is no chronology
tha t can be cal/bra Ted.

26
00:01:57,534 --> 00:01:59,953
I said what time is it?
What time is it on earth?

27
00:01:59,995 --> 00:02:03,290
Can you tell me that without an
exercise in euclidean geometry?

28
00:02:03,373 --> 00:02:05,459
Now, just tell me
what time it is on earth!

29
00:02:05,542 --> 00:02:09,004
On earth, it would
be 12:00 noon.

30
00:02:11,089 --> 00:02:15,385
12:00 noon, 12:00 noon.

31
00:02:15,469 --> 00:02:18,013
This is the
way n/ghtmares be gin,

32
00:02:18,096 --> 00:02:20,015
or, perha ps, end.

33
00:02:20,098 --> 00:02:23,018
Very simple, direct, unadorned.

34
00:02:23,101 --> 00:02:26,021
Incredible, and yet
so terribl y real

35
00:02:26,104 --> 00:02:28,023
tha t even while
the y're happening,

36
00:02:28,106 --> 00:02:30,651
we live with them
and digest them

37
00:02:30,734 --> 00:02:32,027
and assimila te them.

38
00:02:32,110 --> 00:02:34,029
And if it's 72:00 noon,

39
00:02:34,112 --> 00:02:36,657
tha t's what? t you
preoccupy yourself with.

40
00:02:36,698 --> 00:02:38,659
You don't think about 12:00 noon

41
00:02:38,742 --> 00:02:41,662
on the next da y
or the da yafter tha t.

42
00:02:41,745 --> 00:02:45,540
But tha t's what we should
ha ve been thinking about...

43
00:02:45,624 --> 00:02:48,335
Tomorrowand the
da yafter tomorrow.

44
00:02:48,418 --> 00:02:51,672
We were preoccupied
with the hands ona clock

45
00:02:51,713 --> 00:02:57,594
when we should ha ve been
checking offa calendar.

46
00:02:57,678 --> 00:03:01,598
It was an April da y,
and it was noon then, too.

47
00:03:01,682 --> 00:03:03,684
And people walked and drove

48
00:03:03,767 --> 00:03:07,020
and boughtand sold
and fretted and la ughed.

49
00:03:07,104 --> 00:03:09,690
The world went on much
as it had been going on

50
00:03:09,773 --> 00:03:11,316
witha tenta tive tiptoeing

51
00:03:11,400 --> 00:03:13,068
al ongsidea precipice of crisis.

52
00:03:13,151 --> 00:03:15,028
There was Berlin to worryabout,

53
00:03:15,112 --> 00:03:17,030
and indochina, and Algeria

54
00:03:17,114 --> 00:03:19,157
and all the other myriad
problems, major and minor

55
00:03:19,241 --> 00:03:22,160
tha t somehow had lost
their inc/sive edge of horror

56
00:03:22,244 --> 00:03:24,538
because we were
so familiar with them.

57
00:03:24,579 --> 00:03:25,747
And then...

58
00:03:34,881 --> 00:03:36,842
And tha t's when it happened.

59
00:03:36,925 --> 00:03:38,778
Tha t's when we first
heard tha t they had come.

60
00:03:38,802 --> 00:03:40,762
Tha t's when we should
ha ve prepared oursel ves

61
00:03:40,846 --> 00:03:42,889
for any eventuality,
but we didn't.

62
00:03:45,267 --> 00:03:48,061
Instead, we milled around
like frightened farm animals

63
00:03:48,145 --> 00:03:50,230
looking for formulas
and fa ther images,

64
00:03:50,272 --> 00:03:52,774
while the secretary general
of the United Nations

65
00:03:52,858 --> 00:03:54,818
made the first
official announcement

66
00:03:54,901 --> 00:03:57,446
of the arr/val of crea
tures from outer space.

67
00:03:57,529 --> 00:03:59,364
They called themsel ves kanamits

68
00:03:59,448 --> 00:04:01,491
and announced
over the short wa ve

69
00:04:01,575 --> 00:04:04,745
tha t on tha t given afternoon,
they would arrive on earth.

70
00:04:04,828 --> 00:04:07,914
At 11:00 this morning,
eastern standard time,

71
00:04:07,998 --> 00:04:09,916
the first of these landings

72
00:04:10,000 --> 00:04:13,587
took place in an area just
outside of Newark, New Jersey.

73
00:04:13,670 --> 00:04:16,923
Subsequently, we have had
reports of other landings

74
00:04:17,007 --> 00:04:20,761
in the Soviet union, in Norway,
the southern coast of France

75
00:04:20,844 --> 00:04:24,264
just outside of rio de
janeiro and several others.

76
00:04:24,347 --> 00:04:26,892
Speaking on behalf
of the United Nations,

77
00:04:26,975 --> 00:04:29,269
I can only tell you
that at this moment

78
00:04:29,352 --> 00:04:32,439
it would be premature
to assume hostile intent

79
00:04:32,522 --> 00:04:34,775
on the part of these,
these kanamits.

80
00:04:34,858 --> 00:04:37,235
And so, it is the position
of the United Nations

81
00:04:37,319 --> 00:04:39,446
that the world
population remain calm,

82
00:04:39,529 --> 00:04:41,448
to make no hostile move,

83
00:04:41,531 --> 00:04:43,450
to keep in mind

84
00:04:43,533 --> 00:04:45,827
tha tall governments
are being appr/sed

85
00:04:45,911 --> 00:04:48,288
of the events as they happen

86
00:04:48,371 --> 00:04:50,499
and ha ve the situa
t/on well in hand.

87
00:04:50,582 --> 00:04:51,958
What do they look like?

88
00:04:52,042 --> 00:04:53,794
Yeah, what do they look like?

89
00:04:53,877 --> 00:04:55,378
Who are they?

90
00:04:55,462 --> 00:04:57,088
Can't we get a more
specific statement?

91
00:04:57,172 --> 00:04:58,965
We do not know
what theylook like.

92
00:04:59,049 --> 00:05:01,301
We only know that several
of their craft have landed

93
00:05:01,384 --> 00:05:02,803
and that they...

94
00:05:04,262 --> 00:05:05,597
Wha t's the secret?

95
00:05:05,680 --> 00:05:07,224
Why can't we have a statement?

96
00:05:07,307 --> 00:05:09,309
What's going on?
What's happening here?

97
00:05:09,392 --> 00:05:11,394
It appears... it appears
that one of the craft

98
00:05:11,478 --> 00:05:12,854
has landed just
a few blocks away.

99
00:05:12,938 --> 00:05:14,356
That close?

100
00:05:14,439 --> 00:05:16,441
Does the defense
department know?

101
00:05:16,525 --> 00:05:18,169
One of their representatives
is on his way to this building.

102
00:05:18,193 --> 00:05:19,236
Fantastic!

103
00:05:19,319 --> 00:05:20,445
Unbelievable!

104
00:05:45,971 --> 00:05:49,933
Respectfully submitted
for your perusal: A kanamit.

105
00:05:50,016 --> 00:05:51,935
Height: A little over nine feet.

106
00:05:52,018 --> 00:05:54,187
Weight: In the
neighborhood of 350 pounds.

107
00:05:54,271 --> 00:05:55,939
Origin: Unknown.

108
00:05:56,022 --> 00:05:57,941
Motives?

109
00:05:58,024 --> 00:06:00,193
Therein hangs the tale,
for in just a moment

110
00:06:00,235 --> 00:06:02,946
we're going to ask you to
shake hands, figuratively,

111
00:06:03,029 --> 00:06:04,948
with a Christopher Columbus

112
00:06:05,031 --> 00:06:07,158
from another galaxy
and another time.

113
00:06:07,242 --> 00:06:08,994
This is the tw/I/ght zone.

114
00:06:26,052 --> 00:06:28,555
Ladies and
gentlemen of the earth,

115
00:06:28,638 --> 00:06:31,975
we greet you
in peace and friendship.

116
00:06:32,058 --> 00:06:35,896
We come from a planet
far beyond this galaxy,

117
00:06:35,979 --> 00:06:37,939
a planet far more
developed than earth,

118
00:06:38,023 --> 00:06:40,567
but we come as friends.

119
00:06:40,650 --> 00:06:42,986
Although we know your language,

120
00:06:43,069 --> 00:06:46,990
our own methods of communication
are mental rather than verbal.

121
00:06:47,073 --> 00:06:49,993
Hence, the voice you
hear me speaking with

122
00:06:50,076 --> 00:06:52,078
is totally mechanical.

123
00:06:52,162 --> 00:06:54,122
Our intentions are honorable.

124
00:06:54,205 --> 00:06:57,918
We desire above all things
to help the people of earth...

125
00:07:00,503 --> 00:07:02,464
To establish embass/es here,

126
00:07:02,547 --> 00:07:04,674
and, in the near future,
to set up rec/procal visits

127
00:07:04,758 --> 00:07:07,010
between earth people
and kanamits.

128
00:07:07,093 --> 00:07:09,930
Perhaps you wa
tched this initial ques tion/ng

129
00:07:09,971 --> 00:07:11,640
most people on earth did...

130
00:07:11,723 --> 00:07:14,935
On television sets,
rad/os, shortwa ve.

131
00:07:15,018 --> 00:07:18,104
Surely, some of the questions
asked by your representa t/ves

132
00:07:18,188 --> 00:07:20,398
must ha ve been identical
to a few of your own

133
00:07:20,482 --> 00:07:23,276
because as a race, we're
una ccustomed to char/ty.

134
00:07:23,360 --> 00:07:26,279
Brutality is a far more
universal language to us

135
00:07:26,363 --> 00:07:30,575
than an expression of
friendship from outer space.

136
00:07:30,659 --> 00:07:32,786
Would you be willing
to be interrogated here

137
00:07:32,869 --> 00:07:34,245
and at this time?

138
00:07:34,329 --> 00:07:35,747
There are u.N. Delegates present

139
00:07:35,830 --> 00:07:37,248
of most of the
important countries

140
00:07:37,332 --> 00:07:39,042
and the television cameras

141
00:07:39,125 --> 00:07:41,836
are carrying our meeting
throughout the world.

142
00:07:41,920 --> 00:07:45,966
I will be glad to.

143
00:07:46,049 --> 00:07:50,470
Senor valdes of
Argentina is recognized.

144
00:07:50,553 --> 00:07:53,056
Thank you, Mr. Se cre ta r y.

145
00:07:53,139 --> 00:07:56,017
Senor, could you
please inform us

146
00:07:56,101 --> 00:07:59,270
precisely why have you
chosen this planet for your visit?

147
00:07:59,354 --> 00:08:01,314
It has come to our attention

148
00:08:01,398 --> 00:08:03,274
that earth has been plagued

149
00:08:03,358 --> 00:08:06,277
by both natural and
unnatural catastrophes,

150
00:08:06,361 --> 00:08:10,281
all of which could easily
be acted upon and prevented.

151
00:08:10,365 --> 00:08:14,077
We are here to help you.

152
00:08:14,160 --> 00:08:16,079
Recognizing Dr. Denis leveque,

153
00:08:16,162 --> 00:08:18,206
the representative of France.

154
00:08:18,289 --> 00:08:21,501
Monsieur, my government
wishes me to ask you

155
00:08:21,584 --> 00:08:23,169
the nature of your help.

156
00:08:23,253 --> 00:08:25,046
What forms will it take?

157
00:08:25,130 --> 00:08:28,675
Indeed, if we should prefer
not to avail ourselves

158
00:08:28,758 --> 00:08:31,469
of the various aids
that you mentioned,

159
00:08:31,553 --> 00:08:33,847
your repl y would be what? t?

160
00:08:33,930 --> 00:08:36,850
We will not force
anything on you.

161
00:08:36,933 --> 00:08:40,520
You will take only that
which you choose to take.

162
00:08:40,603 --> 00:08:44,024
For example, tomorrow
we will demonstrate

163
00:08:44,107 --> 00:08:46,234
to all interested parties

164
00:08:46,317 --> 00:08:50,030
a new and extremely
interesting power source

165
00:08:50,113 --> 00:08:52,032
which is a tom/c in na ture

166
00:08:52,115 --> 00:08:55,702
and which can suppl y
a form of electric power

167
00:08:55,785 --> 00:08:57,287
for entire countries

168
00:08:57,370 --> 00:08:59,581
for the cost of a few dollars.

169
00:08:59,664 --> 00:09:02,959
It's extremely economical.

170
00:09:03,043 --> 00:09:05,045
Mr. Gregori, the representative

171
00:09:05,128 --> 00:09:07,964
of the Soviet union,
is recognized.

172
00:09:08,048 --> 00:09:11,384
The Soviet people would
like to ask the kanamits

173
00:09:11,468 --> 00:09:13,845
precisely... I repeat
that to him...

174
00:09:13,928 --> 00:09:16,014
Precisely what are your motives

175
00:09:16,097 --> 00:09:17,974
in coming here quite uninvited?

176
00:09:18,058 --> 00:09:21,853
Are we to assume that
there is no ulterior motive

177
00:09:21,936 --> 00:09:24,773
beyond this vast
humanity you speak of?

178
00:09:24,856 --> 00:09:27,609
There is nothing
ulterior in our motives.

179
00:09:27,692 --> 00:09:29,569
Nothing at all.

180
00:09:29,652 --> 00:09:32,906
You will discover this for
yourselves before too long

181
00:09:32,989 --> 00:09:35,533
simply by testing
the various devices

182
00:09:35,617 --> 00:09:38,453
which we will make
available to you.

183
00:09:38,536 --> 00:09:40,914
We can show you, for example,

184
00:09:40,997 --> 00:09:45,085
how to adda certain very
cheap nitra te to the soil

185
00:09:45,168 --> 00:09:48,088
and end famine on earth
for good and all.

186
00:09:48,171 --> 00:09:51,257
We can demonstra te
to you quite practicall y

187
00:09:51,341 --> 00:09:53,760
the principles
of the force field

188
00:09:53,843 --> 00:09:56,179
in which you may
cl oak each na t/on

189
00:09:56,262 --> 00:09:58,014
with an invisible wall,

190
00:09:58,098 --> 00:10:00,600
absol utel y impenetrable
b y bombs, miss/les,

191
00:10:00,683 --> 00:10:02,185
or anything El se.

192
00:10:02,268 --> 00:10:03,937
We ask onl y tha t you trust us.

193
00:10:04,020 --> 00:10:08,191
Only that you simply trust us.

194
00:10:08,274 --> 00:10:10,610
Tha t was
what? t we all thought.

195
00:10:10,693 --> 00:10:12,654
It was theage of Santa claus.

196
00:10:12,737 --> 00:10:16,116
Onl y these kris kringle
came without white whiskers

197
00:10:16,199 --> 00:10:18,284
and rosy cheeks
and twinkling eyes.

198
00:10:18,368 --> 00:10:20,453
They were nine-feet tall enigmas

199
00:10:20,537 --> 00:10:22,747
who descended on us
like locusts.

200
00:10:22,831 --> 00:10:27,210
But nobody was
counting or worry/ng.

201
00:10:27,293 --> 00:10:30,004
Except perhaps
a few professionals

202
00:10:30,088 --> 00:10:32,799
whose job it was
to second guess.

203
00:10:32,882 --> 00:10:35,176
Ina sense, I was one of these...

204
00:10:35,260 --> 00:10:38,429
A decoding special/st for
the united sta tes government,

205
00:10:38,513 --> 00:10:43,017
and this is where
I got into theact.

206
00:10:43,101 --> 00:10:46,646
Well, chambers,
what have you got?

207
00:10:46,729 --> 00:10:50,650
A corker of a migraine
headache and eye strain.

208
00:10:50,733 --> 00:10:52,443
You can't lick it?

209
00:10:52,527 --> 00:10:55,029
No, not in eight hours, I can't.

210
00:10:55,113 --> 00:10:56,781
Colonel, it took
us almost a year

211
00:10:56,865 --> 00:10:58,366
to crack the Japanese code...

212
00:10:58,449 --> 00:11:01,119
We had an army of men
working on that.

213
00:11:01,202 --> 00:11:04,831
But this is a language of
people from outer space,

214
00:11:04,914 --> 00:11:07,667
probably 500 times
as intelligent as we are

215
00:11:07,750 --> 00:11:09,669
and a thousand times
more complex.

216
00:11:09,752 --> 00:11:11,212
You need more help?

217
00:11:11,296 --> 00:11:14,340
All donations
gratefully accepted.

218
00:11:14,424 --> 00:11:16,467
I showed this to
every man on our staff.

219
00:11:16,551 --> 00:11:19,470
I've had a dozen people working
on it since late last night.

220
00:11:19,554 --> 00:11:21,639
We've tried
pretty much everything...

221
00:11:21,723 --> 00:11:24,267
Single transposition,
double transposition.

222
00:11:24,350 --> 00:11:27,228
We've tried every known
method of cryptography there is,

223
00:11:27,312 --> 00:11:29,480
and I don't know
whether we're even close

224
00:11:29,564 --> 00:11:31,024
or a million miles away.

225
00:11:31,107 --> 00:11:33,067
Are you saying
it's indecipherable?

226
00:11:33,151 --> 00:11:36,696
No, we've just got to
keep trying, that's all.

227
00:11:36,779 --> 00:11:40,491
Standard, direct, reversed,
systematically mixed,

228
00:11:40,575 --> 00:11:42,493
keyword mixed, random mixed,

229
00:11:42,577 --> 00:11:45,288
reciprocal, conjugate.

230
00:11:45,371 --> 00:11:48,041
Every nature of sequence
of letters there is.

231
00:11:48,124 --> 00:11:51,044
I'll tell you something,
colonel, this is a tough nut.

232
00:11:51,127 --> 00:11:53,296
This is a real tough nut.

233
00:11:53,379 --> 00:11:55,215
How important is it?

234
00:11:55,298 --> 00:11:58,426
Hmm, I don't know.

235
00:11:58,509 --> 00:11:59,928
That, that kanamit,

236
00:12:00,011 --> 00:12:01,971
or whatever it is
he calls himself,

237
00:12:02,055 --> 00:12:03,991
walked off and left this
book yesterday at the u.N.

238
00:12:04,015 --> 00:12:06,601
The white house feels if
we can decipher this book

239
00:12:06,684 --> 00:12:09,145
we can find out
what they're up to.

240
00:12:09,229 --> 00:12:11,689
Well, obviously,
nothing but our good.

241
00:12:11,773 --> 00:12:14,525
He hasn't commented
on the loss of this book.

242
00:12:14,609 --> 00:12:16,361
Probably unconcerned
that we have it.

243
00:12:16,444 --> 00:12:17,987
Why should we be so concerned?

244
00:12:18,071 --> 00:12:20,615
They've done all
right by us so far.

245
00:12:20,698 --> 00:12:22,158
Parlor tricks.

246
00:12:22,242 --> 00:12:24,202
They don't seem
like tricks, colonel.

247
00:12:24,285 --> 00:12:26,246
That new nitrate use
they demonstrated

248
00:12:26,329 --> 00:12:28,122
in Argentina this morning...

249
00:12:28,206 --> 00:12:31,251
That soil had more
vitamins in it six hours later

250
00:12:31,292 --> 00:12:32,794
than a drugstore chain.

251
00:12:32,877 --> 00:12:34,212
I know that country.

252
00:12:34,295 --> 00:12:36,005
That's as barren and fruitless

253
00:12:36,089 --> 00:12:38,091
as any place on earth.

254
00:12:38,132 --> 00:12:41,177
Well...

255
00:12:41,261 --> 00:12:45,598
We might lick this,
we might not.

256
00:12:45,682 --> 00:12:47,767
But I got a strange feeling.

257
00:12:47,850 --> 00:12:49,227
What?

258
00:12:49,310 --> 00:12:50,561
That we're looking

259
00:12:50,645 --> 00:12:52,397
a gift horse in the mouth.

260
00:12:52,480 --> 00:12:54,983
I got another
funny feeling, too.

261
00:12:55,066 --> 00:12:57,193
And that is?

262
00:12:57,277 --> 00:12:59,112
That if these kanamits

263
00:12:59,195 --> 00:13:01,656
are as helpful as
I think they are,

264
00:13:01,739 --> 00:13:04,075
you boys will be out of a job.

265
00:13:04,158 --> 00:13:05,785
And probably, so will I.

266
00:13:05,868 --> 00:13:07,495
Am I to assume

267
00:13:07,578 --> 00:13:09,831
this is a scientific
analysis, Mr. Chambers,

268
00:13:09,914 --> 00:13:11,833
or just some Kentucky windage?

269
00:13:11,916 --> 00:13:14,335
Well, I don't know
what it is, colonel,

270
00:13:14,419 --> 00:13:16,671
beyond an instinctive feeling.

271
00:13:16,754 --> 00:13:20,300
When this earth
gets enough to eat

272
00:13:20,383 --> 00:13:23,303
and there are no more wars
or diseases or famines,

273
00:13:23,344 --> 00:13:26,681
this is going to be
a garden of Eden.

274
00:13:26,764 --> 00:13:29,267
Your optimism is most
refreshing, Mr. Chambers,

275
00:13:29,350 --> 00:13:30,977
but I suggest you continue

276
00:13:31,060 --> 00:13:32,812
your process of deciphering

277
00:13:32,895 --> 00:13:35,189
until you can
tell us precisely...

278
00:13:35,273 --> 00:13:37,608
And I mean precisely...
What that book says.

279
00:13:42,739 --> 00:13:44,657
We've licked the title, anyway.

280
00:13:44,741 --> 00:13:45,992
What does it say?

281
00:13:46,075 --> 00:13:47,827
How much does it tell us?

282
00:13:47,910 --> 00:13:49,203
Here it is.

283
00:13:49,287 --> 00:13:50,872
Well, that makes the cheese

284
00:13:50,955 --> 00:13:53,166
more binding, wouldn't
you say, colonel?

285
00:13:53,249 --> 00:13:55,710
I'd call that a reasonably
altruistic phrase,

286
00:13:55,793 --> 00:13:57,337
do you agree, Patty?

287
00:13:57,420 --> 00:13:59,255
Well, I, uh...

288
00:13:59,339 --> 00:14:01,841
Well, I want to
believe it, but...

289
00:14:01,924 --> 00:14:06,679
I don't know what to think.

290
00:14:06,763 --> 00:14:09,057
"To serve man."

291
00:14:09,140 --> 00:14:11,476
I hope so.

292
00:14:11,559 --> 00:14:12,602
I ferventl y hope so.

293
00:14:22,695 --> 00:14:25,365
Gentlemen,
the purpose of this meeting

294
00:14:25,448 --> 00:14:28,076
is to acquaint you with certain
tests made over the past week.

295
00:14:28,159 --> 00:14:30,703
At the request
of several delegates

296
00:14:30,787 --> 00:14:32,705
and with the full consent

297
00:14:32,789 --> 00:14:34,999
of our guests, the kanamits,

298
00:14:35,083 --> 00:14:38,044
these tests were filmed, cut
together into one short film

299
00:14:38,127 --> 00:14:41,422
and you can watch them now.

300
00:14:41,506 --> 00:14:44,008
Kindly lower the screen.

301
00:14:48,429 --> 00:14:51,682
These are
the standard instruments used

302
00:14:51,766 --> 00:14:54,268
to determine
the truth of a sta tement.

303
00:14:54,352 --> 00:14:56,479
Our first object,

304
00:14:56,562 --> 00:14:59,482
since the physiology of the
kanamits is unknown to us,

305
00:14:59,565 --> 00:15:02,902
was to determine whether or
not they react to these tests

306
00:15:02,985 --> 00:15:04,946
as human beings do.

307
00:15:05,029 --> 00:15:07,490
We will now repea t one
of the many experiments made

308
00:15:07,573 --> 00:15:10,952
in an effort
to discover this fact.

309
00:15:11,035 --> 00:15:16,582
This instrument records
the subject's heartbea t.

310
00:15:16,666 --> 00:15:21,379
This one shows the electrical
conduct/v/ty of the skin

311
00:15:21,462 --> 00:15:23,506
in the palm of the hand...

312
00:15:23,589 --> 00:15:27,510
A measure of persp/ra t/on,
which increases under stress.

313
00:15:27,593 --> 00:15:30,513
This one shows the pattern

314
00:15:30,596 --> 00:15:32,473
and intensity
of the electrical waves

315
00:15:32,557 --> 00:15:38,396
emana ting from
the subject's brain.

316
00:15:38,479 --> 00:15:41,399
Which of these is
longer than the other?

317
00:15:41,482 --> 00:15:43,234
The gra y.

318
00:15:46,320 --> 00:15:48,573
I shall repeat the question.

319
00:15:48,656 --> 00:15:50,867
Which of these is
longer than the other?

320
00:15:50,950 --> 00:15:52,743
The black.

321
00:15:52,827 --> 00:15:55,329
How did you get to this planet?

322
00:15:55,413 --> 00:15:58,416
Walked.

323
00:15:58,499 --> 00:16:01,961
Onceaga/n, how did
you get to this planet?

324
00:16:02,044 --> 00:16:04,630
In a spa cesh/p.

325
00:16:04,714 --> 00:16:06,632
Many such experiments were made

326
00:16:06,716 --> 00:16:09,635
and my colleagues
and myself are sa tisfied

327
00:16:09,719 --> 00:16:13,806
tha t the mechanisms
are effective.

328
00:16:13,890 --> 00:16:17,435
Now, / shall ask
our distinguished guest

329
00:16:17,518 --> 00:16:20,688
to repl y to the quest/on
puta t the last session

330
00:16:20,771 --> 00:16:22,773
b y several of the delega tes.

331
00:16:22,857 --> 00:16:27,320
Namel y, what? t is the
motive of the kanamit people

332
00:16:27,403 --> 00:16:29,322
in offering such grea t gifts

333
00:16:29,405 --> 00:16:31,657
to the people of the earth?

334
00:16:31,741 --> 00:16:36,496
I hope tha t the people of earth
will understand and bel ieve

335
00:16:36,579 --> 00:16:41,042
when I tell you that our mission
upon this planet is simpl y this:

336
00:16:41,125 --> 00:16:46,881
To bring to you the pea ce and
plenty which we oursel ves enjoy

337
00:16:46,964 --> 00:16:49,467
and which we ha ve in the past

338
00:16:49,550 --> 00:16:52,678
brought to other races
throughout the galaxy.

339
00:16:52,762 --> 00:16:55,515
When your world
has no more hunger,

340
00:16:55,598 --> 00:17:00,478
no more war, no
more needless suffering,

341
00:17:00,561 --> 00:17:02,563
tha t will be our reward.

342
00:17:02,647 --> 00:17:05,691
And the ma
chine sho wed no dev/a tion.

343
00:17:05,775 --> 00:17:08,694
According to it, the
kanamit was telling the truth.

344
00:17:08,778 --> 00:17:11,697
You and I and the rest of
this earth had a rings/de sea t

345
00:17:11,781 --> 00:17:14,575
to the rebirth of every
dream man had ever dreamed.

346
00:17:53,781 --> 00:17:55,741
Santa cla us came through.

347
00:17:55,825 --> 00:17:57,910
Ar/d deser ts became gardens

348
00:17:57,994 --> 00:18:00,746
with the devices the
kanamits showed us how to use.

349
00:18:00,830 --> 00:18:04,750
The force field that was to
end war did precisel y tha t.

350
00:18:04,834 --> 00:18:08,588
Arm/es and na vies were
pra cticall y disbanded.

351
00:18:08,629 --> 00:18:11,591
Pl ea se check your guest visas.

352
00:18:11,674 --> 00:18:19,390
This is flight number 267
from earth to our planet.

353
00:18:19,473 --> 00:18:22,602
They tell me they have a mean
temperature of 76 degrees

354
00:18:22,685 --> 00:18:25,104
on their planet, and
the sun never goes down.

355
00:18:25,187 --> 00:18:26,814
And their clothing...

356
00:18:26,897 --> 00:18:28,899
It's a metallic
substance, just beautiful.

357
00:18:28,983 --> 00:18:30,693
Kind of like a spun gold.

358
00:18:30,776 --> 00:18:32,111
My sister wrote me.

359
00:18:32,194 --> 00:18:34,071
She says the day you land,

360
00:18:34,155 --> 00:18:36,282
they take you on a conducted
tour of all their shops

361
00:18:36,365 --> 00:18:38,868
and you can pick out as
much of it as you want.

362
00:18:48,753 --> 00:18:50,296
But it's an entire planet.

363
00:18:50,379 --> 00:18:52,673
Bigger than China.

364
00:18:52,757 --> 00:18:54,675
Besides it's an opportunity

365
00:18:54,759 --> 00:18:57,511
to spread peaceful
coexistence to an entire galaxy.

366
00:18:57,595 --> 00:19:00,640
Stand aside, please,
I have diplomatic visa.

367
00:19:00,723 --> 00:19:03,559
It's just one big holiday
when you get there.

368
00:19:03,643 --> 00:19:06,562
They've even got
a form of baseball.

369
00:19:06,646 --> 00:19:09,523
Leagues of everything,
just like we've got.

370
00:19:09,607 --> 00:19:11,525
And the whole trip,
billions of miles,

371
00:19:11,609 --> 00:19:13,486
only takes just a few days.

372
00:19:13,569 --> 00:19:15,738
Oh, man, I don't think
I'll want to come back

373
00:19:20,743 --> 00:19:24,330
I'm going home, boss.
Need me for anything?

374
00:19:24,413 --> 00:19:26,666
Need you for
anything? Like what?

375
00:19:26,749 --> 00:19:29,669
This isn't exactly what you
call a beehive of activity.

376
00:19:29,752 --> 00:19:33,673
Well, this is the
new story of man.

377
00:19:33,756 --> 00:19:37,218
Nobody needs to decipher
much of anything anymore

378
00:19:37,301 --> 00:19:39,095
because there aren't
any more codes

379
00:19:39,178 --> 00:19:41,972
simply because there aren't
any more secret messages.

380
00:19:42,056 --> 00:19:43,557
Odd.

381
00:19:43,641 --> 00:19:45,017
Huh?

382
00:19:45,101 --> 00:19:46,727
Well, I mean,

383
00:19:46,811 --> 00:19:49,647
we're not reading
about the hydrogen bomb

384
00:19:49,730 --> 00:19:51,774
or war scares or insurrections

385
00:19:51,857 --> 00:19:55,778
or anything like that anymore.

386
00:19:55,861 --> 00:19:57,029
Millennium.

387
00:19:57,113 --> 00:19:59,031
Yeah, close to it.

388
00:20:04,662 --> 00:20:06,580
How many of them are around now?

389
00:20:06,664 --> 00:20:09,208
Anybody ever figure it out?

390
00:20:09,291 --> 00:20:11,043
A few thousand, I guess.

391
00:20:11,127 --> 00:20:13,587
They've got embassies
in every country now.

392
00:20:13,671 --> 00:20:15,589
And for every one
of them that comes,

393
00:20:15,673 --> 00:20:17,883
a few thousand of us
take off in their ships

394
00:20:17,925 --> 00:20:19,802
to live with them.

395
00:20:19,885 --> 00:20:21,721
Yeah, that's the odd thing:

396
00:20:21,804 --> 00:20:23,723
The fantastic ease with which

397
00:20:23,806 --> 00:20:25,725
human beings make adjustments.

398
00:20:25,808 --> 00:20:28,728
One day, they watch
with bated breath

399
00:20:28,811 --> 00:20:31,731
while a single individual
orbits the earth

400
00:20:31,814 --> 00:20:33,566
in a rinky-dink little cubicle

401
00:20:33,649 --> 00:20:35,985
and they think this is
the most historic moment

402
00:20:36,068 --> 00:20:38,738
that's ever happened in
the history of mankind.

403
00:20:38,821 --> 00:20:40,614
And then, one year later,

404
00:20:40,698 --> 00:20:42,616
they stand in line

405
00:20:42,700 --> 00:20:44,618
waiting to take off
in a spaceship

406
00:20:44,702 --> 00:20:48,622
to go 100 billion
miles off into space,

407
00:20:48,706 --> 00:20:51,625
and they act and react

408
00:20:51,709 --> 00:20:56,630
as if this were a weekend
picnic in the country.

409
00:20:56,714 --> 00:21:01,635
Oh, strange and
complex sanity of man.

410
00:21:01,719 --> 00:21:06,640
Nothing fazes him.

411
00:21:06,724 --> 00:21:08,642
Are you going?

412
00:21:08,726 --> 00:21:11,270
Well, as a matter of fact...

413
00:21:11,353 --> 00:21:15,024
I'm on a ten-year exchange
group waiting list.

414
00:21:15,107 --> 00:21:16,442
Mm-hm.

415
00:21:16,525 --> 00:21:18,444
And what about you, Patty?

416
00:21:18,527 --> 00:21:20,571
I'm on the list, too.

417
00:21:20,654 --> 00:21:22,782
The trouble is,
their quotas fill

418
00:21:22,865 --> 00:21:24,408
just as soon as they make

419
00:21:24,492 --> 00:21:26,076
the announcement of a new trip.

420
00:21:26,160 --> 00:21:27,620
While I'm waiting,

421
00:21:27,703 --> 00:21:29,330
I think I'll do the
next best thing.

422
00:21:29,413 --> 00:21:31,791
I'm still working on that book.

423
00:21:31,874 --> 00:21:34,794
Deciphering that title
has been of no help

424
00:21:34,877 --> 00:21:37,213
because their capital
letters are different

425
00:21:37,296 --> 00:21:38,798
than the other signs they use,

426
00:21:38,881 --> 00:21:40,341
just as ours are.

427
00:21:40,424 --> 00:21:42,927
But it's starting
to fall into place.

428
00:21:43,010 --> 00:21:45,304
I think I'll get the
answer eventually.

429
00:21:45,387 --> 00:21:47,139
Well, I gave up
trying a month ago.

430
00:21:50,142 --> 00:21:53,813
This is flight number 914

431
00:21:53,896 --> 00:21:55,815
from earth to our planet.

432
00:21:55,898 --> 00:22:01,362
We will be taking
off in three minutes.

433
00:22:01,445 --> 00:22:02,571
Mr. Chambers.

434
00:22:05,241 --> 00:22:07,159
Mr. Chambers!

435
00:22:07,243 --> 00:22:09,161
Don't get on that ship!

436
00:22:09,245 --> 00:22:12,164
The rest of the book,
to serve man... it's...

437
00:22:12,248 --> 00:22:13,791
It's a cookbook!

438
00:22:18,754 --> 00:22:20,881
No! No!

439
00:22:20,965 --> 00:22:23,634
No, no, no!

440
00:22:23,717 --> 00:22:26,136
Hey! No!

441
00:22:53,789 --> 00:22:57,084
You ha ve not ea ten
enough, Mr. Chambers.

442
00:22:57,167 --> 00:22:59,712
Please, enjo y.

443
00:22:59,795 --> 00:23:01,922
Ea t hearty.

444
00:23:17,813 --> 00:23:20,357
Please, Mr. Chambers, eat.

445
00:23:20,441 --> 00:23:24,445
We wouldn't want you
to lose weight.

446
00:23:32,828 --> 00:23:34,747
How about you?

447
00:23:34,830 --> 00:23:37,708
You still on earth
or on the ship with me?

448
00:23:37,791 --> 00:23:40,419
Well, it doesn't make
very much difference

449
00:23:40,502 --> 00:23:42,004
because sooner or later...

450
00:23:42,087 --> 00:23:44,757
We'll all of us be on the menu...

451
00:23:44,798 --> 00:23:47,718
All of us.

452
00:23:47,801 --> 00:23:50,721
The recol I ec tions
of one Michael chambers

453
00:23:50,804 --> 00:23:53,724
w/th appropria te flashba cks
and sol/loouy.

454
00:23:53,807 --> 00:23:56,727
Or more simpl y sta Ted,
the evolution of man,

455
00:23:56,810 --> 00:24:00,272
the cycle of going
from dust to dessert,

456
00:24:00,356 --> 00:24:03,275
the metamorphosis from
being the ruler of a planet

457
00:24:03,359 --> 00:24:05,736
to an ingredient
in someone's soup.

458
00:24:05,819 --> 00:24:08,864
It's tonight's bill of
fare on the twilight zone.

459
00:24:11,700 --> 00:24:14,787
Rod serl/ng,
creator of the twilight zone,

460
00:24:14,870 --> 00:24:16,747
will tell you
about next week's story

461
00:24:16,830 --> 00:24:20,250
after this message.

462
00:24:20,334 --> 00:24:22,461
And now, Mr. Serling.

463
00:24:22,544 --> 00:24:25,047
Next week on the twilight zone,
contributor Charles beaumont

464
00:24:25,130 --> 00:24:27,049
provides us with
a most charming tale

465
00:24:27,132 --> 00:24:29,051
of an old man
and some children...

466
00:24:29,134 --> 00:24:31,637
An old man who's
an exceptional playmate,

467
00:24:31,720 --> 00:24:33,681
exceptional because, well,

468
00:24:33,764 --> 00:24:36,475
how many old men do you know
who can change into monsters?

469
00:24:36,558 --> 00:24:38,811
Mr. Beaumont's
excellent-tasting stew

470
00:24:38,894 --> 00:24:41,647
is further seasoned
by an element of mystery.

471
00:24:41,730 --> 00:24:43,273
It's called the fugitive.

472
00:24:43,357 --> 00:24:45,317
We hope to see you next week.

473
00:25:15,139 --> 00:25:16,849
This is James arness.

474
00:25:16,890 --> 00:25:19,018
You know, it's onl ya short hop

475
00:25:19,059 --> 00:25:21,020
from the twilight zone
to dodge city and gunsmoke.

476
00:25:21,061 --> 00:25:23,564
Sa turda y nights o ver
most of these sta tions.
