a journey into a wondrous land

whose boundaries

Ladies and gentlemen...

ladies and gentlemen, may i
have your attention, please?

Now, no birthday
celebration is complete

without an after-dinner speech.

Oh, no, jerry.

And so, let's get
to the business at hand,

the honoring
of dr. William stockton.

Now, jerry harlowe,
you sit down.

Who today is one year older

and admits to being over 21.

And who, in the short space
of 20 years

has taken care of not
only us, our children,

but even our grandchildren.

Whose
grandchildren?

As a matter of fact,

i doubt if there's
anyone in this room

who still does not
owe the good doctor

for a visit or two.

What about
the hammering

at all hours
of the night?

That's another thing
we owe him for.

Ah, yes, yes, the good
doctor's bomb shelter.

Well, i'm afraid we'll have
to forgive him for all that

despite the fact that what
he sees as farsightedness

has been a real pain in
the neck to the rest of us,

what with all the
concrete trucks

and the nocturnal
hammering

and all the rest of it.

That's better.

Well, at any rate,

when grace mentioned

that it was the good
doctor's birthday,

we all decided
to take a hand

in the proceedings.

I had an idea
something was going on.

No, you didn't.

Oh, yes, i did.

And doc, as a little
personal aside,

i'd like to
conclude this way.

That'll probably be the
best part of the speech.

Doc, you're a very
beloved fellow

and rightly so.

And you may not have

the biggest practice
in medical history...

that's true.

...but there isn't
a single sawbones

in the entire 50 states

whose patients
have such a regard-

such affection,
such respect-

for their man with
the little black bag

as we do for ours.

Well done!

You dirty dog.

First a surprise party,
which i abhor,

and then that sloppy,
sentimental speech.

You ought to be
ashamed of yourself.

I thought it was
pretty good, bill.

Let's take our coffee
in the other room, huh?

Pop, pop!

Yes, paulie,
what is it?

The picture
went out

on the tv set.

Then there was

some goofy
announcement.

Hold it, everybody.

Shh, shh!

What did
you say, paul?

The announcer
said something

about turn to the conelrad
station on the radio.

Are you sure
that's what you heard?

I didn't hear wrong, pop.

He said, "turn to
the conelrad station"

and then everything went

completely blank.

Direct from washington, d.c.

Repeating that:

Four minutes ago, the president
made the following announcement.

I quote:

"At 11:04 p.m.
Eastern standard time

"both our distant
early warning line

"and ballistics
early warning line

"reported radar evidence of
unidentified flying objects

"flying due southeast.

"We have been
unable to determine

"the nature of these objects,

"but in the interests
of national safety,

we are declaring a state
of yellow alert."

The civil defense
authorities request

that if you have
a shelter already prepared,

go there at once.

Come on, marty.

If not, use your time

to move supplies of
food, water and medicine

to a central place.

Keep all windows
and doors closed.

If you're in your home,

go to your prepared shelters
or to your basement.

What you're about to watch
is a nightmare.

It is not meant to be prophetic,
it need not happen.

It's the fervent and urgent
prayer of all men of goodwill

that it never shall happen.

But in this place,
in this moment, it does happen.

This is the twilight zone.

Fill up as many
as you can, grace.

I'm going to check the
air filter down there.

We'll get the rest
of the stuff later.

Looks like we'll
lose the power

any minute now.

Bill, there's hardly any water
coming through this tap.

Easy, honey. Easy.

Now make believe
it's perfume,

and it cost a hundred
dollars an ounce.

Maybe in an hour or so,

it'll be worth even
more than that.

What else, pop?

You got all the canned goods
down, paulie?

Yeah, all i could find.

How about
the fruit cellar, paul?

I put those in, too.

Uh, go up to my bedroom
and get my bag

and put that in, too.

Wh-what about the
books and stuff?

Paul! Your father told you
to get his bag.

There's time, grace.
There's plenty of time.

And we'll need books and things.

I don't know how long we'll
have to stay down there.

What about lightbulbs?

Where do you keep
the lightbulbs?

Oh, on the top shelf here
of this cupboard, bill.

Oh, we don't have any.

I ran out.

Well, i was going to buy
some at the store yesterday

because there was
a sale on and...

oh, bill, i'm talking
like some idiot.

Now, how much more
time is there?

There's no telling,
grace, honey.

Conelrad says
from the first alarm

we might have anywhere
between 15 minutes

and a half an hour.

Fif-fifteen minutes?

I'm just winging it, grace.

I don't know for sure.

I don't think anyone does.

Now keep filling them.

Bill?!

There's no more water.

It doesn't make
any difference anyhow.

I think we've got
enough water.

You bring a jug
with you, gracie.

Paul and i
will get the rest.

Now, you two stay here.

I'll get the rest
of the water.

No, wait a minute.

I've slipped.

Paulie, there's
a small tool kit

in the garage.

Will you get it?
Right.

I'll get the rest
of the water.

Grace.

Now, if it is a bomb,

there's no assurance
it'll land near us,

and if it doesn't...

but if it does, bill,

new york is only
40 miles away.

And new york's going
to get it, we know that.

So we'll get it, too,
all of it-

the poison, the radiation,
the whole mess.

We'll get it.

We'll be in a
shelter, grace,

and with any luck at
all, we'll survive.

We've got food
and water enough

to last us
for two weeks-

maybe even longer
if we use it wisely.

Then what, bill?

Then what?

We crawl out of here
like gophers

to tiptoe through all
that rubble up above?

The rubble and the ruin

and the bodies
of our friends?

Oh, bill,

why is it so necessary
to survive?

What's the good of it?

Wouldn't it just be better

and easier, just quicker

if we just...

i got the tools, pop.

Anything else you
need from out here?

Grace, that's why
we have to survive.

That's the reason.

He may only
inherit rubble now,

but he's 12 years old.

He's only
12 years old, grace.

Now.

This is conelrad, your
emergency broadcasting station.

Paulie.

I got
the tools, pop.

Good- put it
down over there.

I'll get the rest
of the water.

Remain tuned to this frequency.

We repeat our
previous announcement...

how's it going, bill?

It's going
fine, jerry.

We're collecting water

which is what
you should be doing.

Well, we collected
about 30 gallons

and then the
water stopped.

You better get
into your shelter-

into your basement-

and i'd board up
the windows if i were you.

You got any wood...?

Bill, we don't have
any cellar, remember?

The advantages of
modern architecture.

We got the only brand-
new house on the block.

We got everything
at your fingertips-

even got an
electric laundry room.

All the wonders of modern
science taken into account

except that thing
that's heading for us right now.

Jerry, come on.

Can i bring martha
and the kids over here?

Over here?

We're sitting ducks
over there-

no protection at all.

Oh, jerry.

You can use
our basement.

Your basement?

What about
your shelter?

It's the only place
we can survive!

I don't have
any room, jerry.

There's not near enough
room or supplies.

It's designed
for three people.

Well, we'll bring
our own food and water.

We'll sleep
standing up.

Bill, you've
got to help me.

You've got to keep
my family alive.

We won't use
any of your stuff.

What about air?

That's a 10x10
room, jerry,

with an air
filter designed
for three people.

Will you bring
your own air?

Well, just give us
a chance.
No, no, no.

48 hours, bill,
then we'll get out.

When that door gets
closed and locked

it stays closed
and locked, jerry.

There'll be radiation and
heaven knows what else.

I'm sorry, jerry, as god
is my witness, i am sorry,

but i built that
for my family.

What about mine?
What'll we do?

Just rock
on the front porch

while we burn
to a crisp?

That's no
concern of mine.

Right now it's my family
i have to worry about.

Do you think
i'm going to stand by

and watch while my wife
and children die in agony?

I'm not going to do it,
you understand?

Bill,
i'm not going to do it!

I'm sorry,
please forgive me.

I kept telling you,
jerry- all of you-

get ready,
build a shelter.

Forget the card parties
and the barbecues

for maybe a few hours a week,

forget them, and make the
admission to yourself

that the worst
was possible.

But you didn't want
to listen, jerry.

None of you wanted
to listen.
Please, bill...

to build a shelter

was to admit to the
kind of age we lived in,

and none of you had
the guts to face that.

So now you've got
to face something

far worse, jerry.

So, god, please, god
protect you, jerry.

It's out of my hands.

It's simply
out of my hands.

It's got to be god.
It's got to be god.

They're already
in the shelter.

Marty, i told you.

He's locked
himself in.

He's got
to let us in.

We have no windows
in half the basement

and i don't
have anything

to plug them up,
either.

And the basement
won't help, anyway.

I can't help
you, marty.

He's downstairs?

Yeah, yeah.

Bill, bill...

bill, it's marty.

We've got
the kids with us.

Marty!

Bill!

Bill, please let us in.

Marty, please.

Come back and get us... please!

Bill- bill,
it's marty.

Please let us in.

Marty, i would
if i could.

Do you understand?

I swear to you,

i would.

Bill, please.

Please, bill.

It's marty.

I can't,
marty.

Don't stand there
asking me.

I can't!

I can't
and i won't!

I feel sorry
for you, then, bill.

I really do.

You probably will survive,

but you'll have
blood on your hands.

You're a doctor!

You're supposed to help people!

That was a million years ago...

a million years ago.

Marty!

Get out of here!

Do you hear me?

Get out of here, marty!

Marty!

Then he slammed the door
right in my face.

Well, go back!

Jerry, ask
him again.

Let's go.

Jerry, ask
him again!

Ask him again!

Please, i don't
want to be here.

Please, frank,
let's go home!

There's no time!

It's no use,
frank.

He won't let
anybody in.

What'll we do?

We ought to find one basement

and go to work on that.

Pool all of our stuff.

It just
isn't fair!

He's
perfectly safe

while our kids
have to sit around

and wait for
a bomb to drop!

Why don't we just
go down there

and break down the door!

Frank, frank-
wait a minute, frank!

Frank,
wait a minute!

We can't all fit
in that bomb shelter.

We'd be crazy
to even try.

Why don't we pick out
one family- draw lots?

I keep
telling you,

he won't let
anybody in.

We could all
go down there

and tell him the whole street
is against him.

What good
would it do?

Even if you break
down the door,

we can't all fit.

We'd be killing
everybody.

If it saves even
one of my kids

it's worth it.

Jerry, you know him
better than any of us.

You're his best friend.

Go down there again.

Talk to him,
plead with him.

Tell him to pick
out one family.

We'll draw lots
or something.

One family...

meaning yours, marty, huh?

Why not?

I've got a three-
month-old baby.

Is your baby any more precious
than one of my kids?

I never said that.

Look, if you're going to argue
about who deserves to live...

you shut
your mouth, weiss.

Take it easy.
Let go!

That's the way it is

when the foreigners
come over here-

pushy, grabby,

seml-american!

Why, you garbage-brained idiot!

Marty-
marty, please!

What's the
matter with you?

Weiss, for my dough,

you're at the
bottom of the list!

Keep it up, you'll
slaughter each other!

Marty...

marty...
marty, please.

Go down to the shelter.

Ask him, marty, please.

I've already
asked him.

It won't do
any good!

Searchlights.

Let's go take a look.

Anything new
on the radio?

No.

What are you
doing out here?

Doc's got
himself locked

in that shelter.

You know what
i'm going to do?

I'm going
down there

and get him
to open up
that door.

That's the
only thing
left to do!

Frank's right.

Come on, let's do it.

No, wait a minute!

Martha, keep those
kids in the kitchen.

Bill!

Bill stockton!

You've got a bunch
of your neighbors outside

who want to stay alive.

Now, you can
open that door
and talk to us

and figure out
with us

how many can
come in there

or you can just keep on doing
what you're doing,

and we'll bust
our way in there!

Bill, can
you hear me?

This is jerry.

They mean
business
out here.

I mean business in here.

I've already told you, jerry.

You're wasting your time.

You're wasting precious time
you could use

for figuring out
how you can survive.

Why don't we get
some kind of battering ram?

Yeah, let's go
to bennett avenue.

Phil klein has
some heavy pipe

in his basement.

No, no-
that would get him

into the act, too,
and who cares about saving him.

If we do that-

if we let all
those people know

about the shelter
on our street-

we'd have a whole
mob to contend with.

A whole bunch
of strangers.

What right have they got
to come over here?

This isn't their street.
This isn't their shelter.

Oh, oh,
this is our shelter, huh?

And on the next street,
that's another country.

Patronize home industry.

You idiots, you fools,
you're insane.

All of you.
Maybe you don't want to live.

Maybe you don't care!

I care- believe me, i care.

I want to see
the morning sun come up, too.

But a mob
doesn't have
any brains.

You're proving it!

I say let's get
that battering ram

and we'll tell klein
to keep his mouth shut.

Wait a minute.

I agree with jerry.

We should stop
and think a minute.

Now, i think that...

nobody cares

what you think-
you or your kind.

I thought
i made it clear.

Yes, but i think
that jerry has...

i think the first
order of business

is to get you
out of here.

Marty, marty!

Let's get
that battering ram

and break
down that door.

You've had your chance,
stockton, remember that!

You've had
your chance!

Come on, marty,
come on.

Bill...

who are those people?

Those people...

those people
are our neighbors,

our friends,

the people
we've lived with

and alongside
for 20 years.

Come on, paulie,
we better get up

some of
this furniture

so we'll have
some protection

in case that door
goes through.

Come on, let's get it in there.

Come on, over it.

Over it.

Now!

It's through!

Put it down!

This is conelrad.

Remain tuned
for an important message.

The president of the united
states has just announced

that the previously
unidentified objects

have now been definitely
ascertained as being satellites.

There are
no enemy missiles approaching.

There are no
enemy missiles approaching.

The objects have been
identified as satellites.

They are harmless,
and we are in no danger.

The state of emergency has
officially been called off.

We are in no danger.

There is no enemy attack.

Thank god.

Marty?

Marty?

I, uh...

i went
off my rocker.

Well, you can understand
that, can't you?

I just went
off my rocker.

I didn't mean
any of those things

i said to you.

We were...
we were, all of us

so scared,
so confused...

well, it's no
wonder, is it?

I mean, you
can understand

why we all blew
our tops a little.

Well, i
don't think

marty's going
to hold it

against you,
frank.

Just like i
don't think

bill is going
to hold all
this against us.

We'll pay for
the damages,
bill.

We'll take up
a collection
right away.

We... we could
have a block party

tomorrow night
or something.

A big
celebration, huh?

I think we
rate one now.

Hey, that's
a great idea-
a block party.

Anything to get
back to normal, huh?

Normal?

I don't know.

I don't know
what normal is.

I thought i did once.

I don't anymore.

I told you
we'd pay

for the
damages, bill.

Damages?

I wonder.

I wonder if any one of us
has any idea

what those damages really are.

Maybe one of them
is finding out

what we're really like
when we're normal-

the kind of
people we are

just underneath
the skin.

I mean all of us.

A lot of naked, wild animals

who put such a price
on staying alive

that they'll claw
their neighbors to death

just for the privilege.

We were spared a bomb tonight,

but i wonder.

I wonder if we
weren't destroyed

even without it.

No moral, no message,
no prophetic tract.

Just a simple statement of fact:

For civilization to survive,

the human race has
to remain civilized.

Tonight's very small exercise
in logic from the twilight zone.

Rod serling,
creator ofthe twilight zone,

will tell you
about next week's story

after this word
from our alternate sponsor.

And now, mr. Serling.

Next week we move back in time
to april, 1865-

the aftermath of the civil war,
and a strange dusty road

that leads to
a most unbelievable adventure.

On our show next week,
"the passersby."

This one is for civil war buffs,
the mystics amongst you,

or any and all
who would want a brief vacation

in the twilight zone.

Be sure and watchgunsmoke
starring james arness,

saturday nights over most
of these same stations.
