[theme music playing]

(narrator)
You're traveling
Through another dimension--

A dimension not only
Of sight and sound,
But of mind,

A journey into a wondrous land

Whose boundaries
Are that of imagination.

Your next stop,
The twilight zone.

[phone being dialed]

[clock ticking in background]

Nut.

Hello?

I'd like to speak
To mr. O'connor, please.

That's correct.

I'd rather not say.

It's rather personal.

Hello, is this
Mr. O'connor?

Mr. O'connor, you
Have a man working
For you in personnel--

A young man
Named alfred brewster.

That's right-- been with
You about a year
And a half.

The man's a communist.

That's right.

The man's a communist,
A menace to our society--

Should be
Discharged immediately.

Never mind how | know--
| know, that's all.

I'm gonna check back
With you in a few days,

And if he's
Not been discharged,

I'm gonna take this
Whole matter to a superior.

That's correct.

Bye, mr. O'connor.

School superintendent, please.

Hello, is this
The school superintendent?

Well, this is
A concerned citizen,

And this call has to do
With a teacher in
Your employ.

His name is...

Farwell...
William j. Farwell--

Teaches at your
North end high school.

That's correct.

Well, the man is
Morally objectionable.

He's a drinker, a carouser,
And | have it on
Good authority

That his relationships
With his students

Are questionable at best.

He should be
Discharged immediately.

Well, never
Mind who this is.

| happen to be
Giving you facts

And these facts are
What is at issue.

Well, you'd best
Check on him.

That...You most
Certainly should.

And immediately--
That's, that's correct.

[sighs]

[moans]

A rather full morning's
Work, wouldn't you
Say, pete?

[squawks]

Eleven names...

Eleven names.

Of course, it's
Questionable at best

As to what concrete
Results we can expect,

But at least, the
Seeds have been planted;

The opening guns fired;
The first attack rendered.

Look at them, look
At them out there--
The dregs, carrion,

Leeches sucking us dry,

Carrying evil
Around with them
Like cold germs.

Well, we're gonna have to
Face it sooner or
Later, pete.

Phone calls
Are one thing,

Threats and exposures,
Simply expedients.

Oh, no, pete,
My old friend,

We're going
To have to embark

On a much more
Ambitious course

And it must be
Today, pete.

It must be--
This afternoon.

4:00, pete.

That's when we'll
Make it occur.

We'll make it
Occur at 4:00.

At that moment,
That precise moment,

We shall destroy evil.

This is both my charge
And my obligation, pete,

To destroy evil,
And we shall do
It at 4:00.

I'm not quite sure
Of the method yet,

But that will come to me.

That will come to me and
Assuredly, and it will
Be a revelation.

It will be the
Expiration of immorality,

The exordium of the end.

4:00, pete, that's when
We'll make it happen

Through whatever
Form | choose.

Four o'clock.

That's oliver crangle,

A dealer in
Petulance and poison.

He's rather
Arbitrarily chosen 4:00

As his
Personal gotterdammerung,

And we are
About to watch

The metamorphosis
Of a twisted fanatic,

Poisoned by the gangrene
Of prejudice,

To the status
Of an avenging angel,

Upright and omniscient,
Dedicated and fearsome.

Whatever your clocks say,
It's 4:00--

And wherever you are,

It happens to be
The twilight zone.

[squawks]

[clock ticking]

[knocking at door]

Yes, what is it?

(female voice)
There's special delivery stuff
For you, mr. Crangle.

Well, bring it in--
The door's not locked.

Something else
Was there,
Mrs. Williams?

Something else?

No, nothing else.

Nothing else,
Mr. Crangle.

You sure get
Enough mail, anyway.

Somebody would think

You was running some sort
Of a mail-order business.

What | do is none
Of your concern.

| pay my rent on time
And | mind my
Own business.

You should learn
A respect for privacy.

[aghast]
Well, I--

Well, | nev--!

"Well, I...!
Well, I...!"

Have you any more
Pertinent remarks?

If not, then | would
Be grateful if you
Left me alone.

| have a great deal
Of work to do.

1 can believe that.

You should,
Mrs. Williams.

You may thank
Me one day.

That 1s...Assuming
You're around,

And assuming you retain
A capacity for appreciation.

And what's that
Supposed to mean--

"Assuming I'll
Be around"?

Are you threatening
Me, mr. Crangle?

My dear lady, | don't
Threaten people.

| compile them.

| compile them and il...
Investigate them...

Analyze them.

Then |
Categorize them,

And | judge them.

If they're impure
And evil,

Then they must
Be punished.

If, on
The other hand,

They're simply
Misled or naive

Or unsophisticated,

Then | point out
To them the right way.

Oh, is that...?

What | mean is,

Is that what you do
For a living,
| mean?

Indeed.

Here.

"Mrs. Chloe williams,
Age 54, widow;

"Married to
John alistair williams;

"Political affiliation: none;

"Husband's political
Affiliation: none;

"Evidences of
Subversion: none;

"Negative personality
Traits: curiosity...

Ignorance."

That is merely
A preliminary report,

Mrs. Williams.

The research
In depth on you

Is in that master
File over there.

(bird)
Nut.

[cackles]

All rested up,
Are you, pete?

Had your
Little nap?

[squawks]

That's good,
My young man.

We're gonna have an
Exciting afternoon.

Things are
Gonna happen
At 4:00.

Indeed they will.

What's gonna
Happen at 4:00?

What's going
To happen indeed?

Why, at 4:00,
We're going to
Expose evil--

Strip it bare, push
It out into the light

Dissect it,
Pinpoint it,

Eliminate it,
Exorcise it,

Denude it,
Destroy it!

Oh!

Something else,
Was there,

Mrs. Williams?

Uh... Uh, no, no,
Nothing else.

I'm looking
For a mr. Crangle.

| was told
He lives here.

With a vengeance
He lives here.

He lives right up there.
That's where he lives.

But | tell you,
Young woman,

| wouldn't go in there
Without police protection.

That man's got a
Leak in his attic

A mile wide.

Mr. Crangle?

Mr. Crangle!

Well?

My name is lucas.

| was wondering

If you would speak
With me for a moment.

Lucas... Lucas...

Ah! Kurt j.
Lucas, age 27,

Intern, east
Side hospital?

That's my husband.

Is he indeed?

Well, now, your
Husband, you say.

Come in, come
In, come in.

Please.

Now...

What about
Your husband?

Why, mr. Crangle,

Why are you
Trying to hurt him?

What has he
Ever done to you?

To me?

Why, nothing to me.

That is,
Nothing personally.

| don't know
Your husband.

| know of him.

| know of his background,
But we've never met.

He's a stranger then
To you, isn't he?

He's a
Perfect stranger?

A stranger, yes!

But not
A perfect stranger.

As a matter of fact,
Your husband,
Mrs. Lucas,

Happens to be
Most... Imperfect.

And when you observe

That he has
Done nothing to me,

Let me hasten to
Illuminate you on this.

He has done a lot
Against society.

My husband, for
Your information,

Is a dedicated
Young doctor.

He has only one
Abiding interest
In life

And that
Is to heal,
To stop pain.

[shouting]
And to kill!

That's his other
Abiding interest,

That you have
Conveniently skipped.

L,l,l,l, l,
L,l, l...

L-u... L-u-c...
Here we are.

"Lucas,

"Kurt j., m.D.,
Second-year intern

East side hospital."

These facts came
To my attention.

"On the night
Of march 12, 1961,

"While serving in
The emergency ward

"He permitted the death
Of one mrs. Angela rienti

"By failing to
Relieve pressure

"Accumulated as a result
Of a brain injury

Sustained in
A traffic accident."

It was
Too late--

He got to
Her too late.

He was taking care
Of half a ward
That night,

When he got
To the woman,
She was already dead.

He should've gotten
To her earlier.

That's about the size
Of it, mrs. Lucas.

By what right, | must
Ask you, mr. Crangle,

By what right
Do you presume

To pass judgment
On my husband?

You're not even
A medical man.

You don't know
A thing about it

And yet you write
Letters to the hospital,

Dozens of letters,

Accusing my husband
Of being a murderer!

You're a
Filthy, miserable...

Tell me--

Have they discharged
Your husband yet?

I've been expecting
It momentarily.

They have not.

It would take more
Than letter writing

From a crank
To make that happen.

Your husband
Is an evil man!

| will not put up
With evil in
Any form--

Communists, subversives,
Thieves, harlots--

Evil, all of them,

And | will not
Countenance evil.
Hear me?

1 will
Absolutely not
Countenance evil.

Hmm.

You're probably
Unaware of it,
Mr. Crangle,

But my husband is
A very sensitive man.

The people at the
Hospital told him

To overlook
The letters,

Forget about them,

But they're
Killing him.

Tell me,
Mr. Crangle, why...

Why do you do it?

Why?!

Why?

You ask me why?

Why, because
They're evil.

That's it.

There's nothing
Complicated about that.

They're evil--

All those little bugs
Out there-- bacteria.

That's what
They are.

That's what
Your husband is--

Bacteria.

Those little...

[laughs wildly]

That's it!

That's precisely it!

That's what I'll do.

| knew | would
Get the clue.

| said "Little people."

Do you understand:
"Little people"?

That's what I'll do--

Mll turn all
The evil people
Into little ones.

[cackles]

You understand?

"Ll make
Every evil man three...

No, two... Two feet tall.

[cackles]

At 4:00
In the afternoon,

At precisely 4:00,

Every evil man
And woman

Will be exactly
Two feet tall.

[cackles]

A revelation...
An absolute revelation.

They'll all be
Two feet tall!

[ticking]

(crangle)
"1t is rather for
Us to be dedicated

To the great task
Remaining before us."

"All men are created equal."

( stepping loudly )

We have a visitor
Coming, pete.

(crangle)
Come in!

Come in, come in.

I'm oliver crangle.

I'm the one
Who called.

My name is hall,
Mr. Crangle

Federal bureau
Of investigation.

Our office had
A call from you...

Indeed, indeed, indeed,
| placed the call.

Please, please,
Sit down.

Now, | called
You here

Because | felt
That the f.B.1.
Should know.

| also notified
The police

And the... The
Fire departments.

| even had a call
In to washington,

Although that call
Probably won't
Even go through.

It's my understanding

That the reds are
In complete control

In washington now.

They've probably
Taken over the
Switchboard, too.

The reds, mr. Crangle?

Oh, yes, the reds.

And it's a complete
Conspiracy, you know.

All the evil people
Of the world have
Banded together--

Communists,
Subversives,
Thieves--

It's a total, complete
Worldwide conspiracy.

Now, mr. Crangle,
On the phone
You said

That you had
Some sort of plan...

Oh, yes, yes,
Yes, yes,

That'll all take
Place at 4:00.

Now, you see,
Mr. Hall,

| have spent many years
Doing this kind of work.

I've made a
Complete study
Of evil.

Oh, yes, | made
A study of it.

| listen
To the radio.

| watch television.

| cut out
Newspaper clippings.

| write letters
To employers,

Make phone calls
Late at night.

There's the most
Efficient method,
Right there.

Calling these terrible
People constantly
Late at night,

Waking them up--

Waking them up, speaking
My charges and then
Hanging up.

Very frustrating
For them.

Yes, I'll bet.

Oh, yes, indeed.

You know, they go
Out of their mind
With fury.

They don't like
To be woken up
Late at night,

| can assure you.

Who does,
Mr. Crangle?

With these people, it's
Absolutely necessary.

But to the point, mr.
Hall, to the point.

It 1s now... 3:27.

In exactly 33 minutes,

All the evil people
In the world

Will become half--

No, a third
Their present size.

All the
Uncaught murderers

And the tyrants,

All the bullies
And the wrongdoers--

All of them,
Every one.

Nut.

Well, what do you
Think of it,
Mr. Hall?

Mr. Crangle, how do you
Go about doing this--

Shrinking people?

Why, I... |
Merely will it.

That's all.

Now in the past, several
Other methods had
Occurred to me

To stop evil
From spreading.

How does evil spread?

Hmm?

By public transport.

So | had
It in mind

That | might take
The stiffness--

Out of
Airplane propellers.

You understand?

Props hanging limp...

Like empty banana skin.

Then it occurred to me
That | might change

All the wheels
In the world
From round to square.

Or perhaps triangular.

So they'd stub
In the asphalt

And stop them.

Mr. Crangle...

This... You know, mr. Hall,
This is hard to believe.

This idea
Just occurred to me--
About the change in size--

Just a short
While ago.

Some benighted woman
Was in here

And she inadvertently
Gave me the idea--

Turn all the evil people
Into two feet tall.

Now what
Could be simpler?

Think of it.

Think of
How inefficient

This would
Make them.

Why, they couldn't
Handle delicate
Scientific instruments,

Adding machines, typewriters
Or telephone dials.

Why, soon enough, they'd
Be extinct, like dinosaurs.

[laughing]

Nut.

Mr. Crangle...

Yes?

I'd like to ask you
A question, sir.

| hope you won't
Take offense at it.

Oh, no, no,
Please, go on.

Have you ever had
Any psychiatric help?

What?

Psychiatric help.

Mr. Crangle, you don't
Seem rational to me.

1... | think you've
Developed some kind
Of obsession here.

| think you
Need some help.

Help? | need...

Why should | need help?

I'm not evil.

I'm very sorry,
Mr. Crangle,

But there doesn't
Seem very much we
Can do about this.

What do you mean?

Why, the law
Enforcement agencies

Are gonna
Have round-the-
Clock schedules.

Don't you realize

How many evil people
You'll be able
To find?

Why, they'll be all
Over the sidewalks,

All over the streets!

You'll have to
Build more jails,

More electric
Chairs, gallows.

Well, what about
It, mr. Hall?

What are
You gonna
Do about it?

Nothing, mr. Crangle,
Not a thing.

Mr. Crangle,
We have something
In this country

Which makes all of that
Stuff quite unnecessary.

What's that?

It's the law,
Mr. Crangle,
We have the law.

Now, we like
People's help

And their support,
Their cooperation,

But interference is
Quite another matter.

Oh, | get it now.

| understand.

| understand perfectly.

Why, | was an idiot

Not to have realized
It sooner.

Of course.

Of course you people
Have gotten into
The f.B.1.!

It stands to reason.

Why, you--you've
Infiltrated every place.

Let me tell you
Something, mr. Hall,

Let me tell
You something.

Enjoy yourself
For the next 15
Or 20 minutes,

You better
Enjoy yourself
To the utmost,

Because you're
Gonna be two
Feet tall!

Two feet tall,
Mr. Hall,

That's what you're
Going to be!

Two feet tall,
Do you hear me?

You and all
The rest of them--

All of the
Evil people.

They're gonna be
Two feet tall!

Nut.

[squawking]

Oh, judgment day.

Judgment day--
Is upon us.

Won't be long now.

You... 4:00.

You--evil--!

Evil!

[ticking]

It's happening, pete.

It's happening
Right now.

Everyone, all
The evil ones--

They're all turning
Into tiny little gnomes.

Nut.

Certainly, peter.

This is kind
Of a celebration.

[screams]

Nut.

(narrator)
At 4:00, an evil man made
His bed, and lay in /t,

A pot called
A kettle black,

A stone thrower broke
The windows of his
Glass house.

You look for this one
Under "F" for "Fanatic"

And "J" for "Justice,"
/n the twilight zone.

(male presenter)
Rod serling, creator
Of the twilight zone,

Will tell you
About next week's story

After this message.

And now, mr. Serling.

As it happens to all men,

A newcomer takes
His first step

Into the twilight
Zone next week

When mr. Andy devine
Joins us

For a show called
Hocus-pocus and frisby.

He plays the role
Of a storekeeper

Of the
Cracker-barrel variety,

Who stretches the truth
Like most people pull
On taffy.

This one is for laughs

And for the
Congenital liars
Amongst you.

Next week,
Mr. Andy devine--

Hocus-pocus and frisby.

(male voice)
Red cross looks
To you for help.

(female voice)
When you help,
We can help.
