woman:
he's crazy.

that's what he is.

a loony.

a nut case.

a genuine wacko.

uncle edgar is always
looking for things.

things like three paper clips

or a chrome coat hanger.

or one patent leather
tap shoe.

he rummages through trash cans.

he goes to
garbage dumps.

he's always bothering
my other tenants.

one day it's bicycle spokes.

then it's
baseball cards.

and who do the tenants

complain to?

yours truly.

he won't let anybody
into his apartment.

not even his own niece.

that junk he's collecting
is a fire trap.

he could hurt himself.

and other people.

namely me.

he needs
your help.

yesterday

he wanted a yo-yo.

by 6:00.

and last week

pieces of
broken dolls

heads, arms, legs.

please do
something, doctor.

please, for his sake.

and ours.

(beeping)

of course.

(beeping)

woman:
his bell
don't work.

ah, mrs. milligan.

i think he's disconnected it.

down there

in the basement.

oh, thank you.

thanks anyway,
mr. pilchick

but i already found
a brass thimble.

you're not mr. pilchick.

i'm dr. jeremy sinclair.

may i talk to you?

some other time.

i have to look
for a doll's head.

narrator:
one old man

in a private world
of irrational urgencies.

for dr. jeremy sinclair,
an all-too-common sight.

but edgar witherspoon
is a most uncommon old man

with a secret that reaches out

to the four corners
of the earth

as the good doctor
is about to discover.

your niece...

she worries about you.

she's a very nice woman,
so tell her not to worry.

see? a simple solution.

thanks for coming.
it's been a pleasure meeting you

but i have to get on
with my work.

your work?

i bet you'd like to know
what it is, wouldn't you?

yes.

wrong answer.

you see a doll's head
here anywhere?

you mean like that?

oh, too big.

also brunette.

i need blonde.

and i need it in five minutes.

and what for?

you want santa barbara
to fall into the ocean?

no.

then stand aside, sir.
stand aside.

whoo-whoo!

just in the nick of time.

no time to lose.

mr. witherspoon...

i'm sorry.

i shouldn't be rude.

you've come all
this way to see me.

may i come in?

and it was so nice--
a pleasure meeting you.

tell my niece hello.

now, if you'll excuse me

i've got to stop
the shaking in santa barbara.

mr. witherspoon...

oh, on your way out

could you
dump this?

good afternoon, doctor.

did you see uncle edgar?

yes, this morning.

well?

i wouldn't exactly call it
a long conversation.

but long enough
to realize he...?

oh, absolutely.

on the other hand

mr. witherspoon appears
happy and quite harmless.

harmless?

he pesters strangers
on the street.

he runs after garbage trucks.

that is far
from harmless.

somebody saw him

take a baby's bottle
out of its carriage.

i'm afraid he'll get
arrested next time.

doctor, i will sign anything

cooperate
in any way...

all right, maybe i'll
have another chat with him--

a longer one--
and see if i...

newscaster:
in santa barbara

a small earthquake tremor was
felt shortly before noon today.

the force was enough to rattle
dishes and a few nerves...

did you hear that?

what?

there was something about a...

sorry,
it's nothing.

i don't know
what i was thinking.

i'll call you
as soon as i can.

thank you
very much.

(knocking)

mr. witherspoon?

go away.

i'm not home.

it's dr. sinclair.

i was here last week.

do you remember?

sorry, i wasn't home
last week either.

mr. witherspoon, i could legally
force you

to open this door to me.

is that what you want?

you're a curious one.

odd, you mean?

i mean nosy.

i'm paid to be nosy.

curious, you mean.

really? don't you
think that's odd?

most people are curious
for nothing.

that's very nice for you.

are the hours good?

mr. witherspoon, why do you
collect dolls' heads

shoes, paper clips?

i can't afford rembrandts.

what?

oh, no.

oh, no.

as usual, it's been lovely.

please don't call again.

i may have to.

the next time, it might
not be so lovely.

you understand what i mean,
mr. witherspoon.

wouldn't you rather
invite me in

of your own free will?

if you must, you must.

(soft ticking and whirring)

be very,verycareful
where you walk.

(irregular chiming)

(regular chiming)

that was a close shave.

this is very, uh...
interesting, mr. witherspoon.

what, um...

what is it?

this? this is the only thing

that keeps the world
from going poof!

let me understand you clearly,
mr. witherspoon.

you say this...

this is what keeps
the world from going poof?

it's not easy.

most things are nearly
impossible to find.

where would you look
for a skate key?

i can't imagine.

i found one, though.

think that's crazy?

well...

you wouldn't have a business
card, would you?

oh, yes, of course.

that was an easy one.

well, i won't take up any more
of your time.

i've seen more than enough.

i used to be an engineer.

earned lots of money.

then i retired--

worst mistake
i ever made.

life was so
damned boring.

then the voice spoke to me.

you also hear voices?

you, too?

please, tell me
about it.

i was sitting in the park
one day feeding the pigeons

and suddenly there it was--
the voice.

"edgar," it said

"have you ever been
to england?"

oh, yes. why?

no, that's what
the voice asked me.

"edgar," it said

"in the heart of big ben

"there is a pendulum that tells
the clock how fast to tick.

"at the bottom of the pendulum,
on top of the big weight

"there's a stack of pennies.

"every so often
they take one off.

"the clock speeds up.

"or they put one on.

"the clock slows down.

"the pennies change the balance
just a little

but enough to keep the whole
mechanism running perfectly."

so what you have here
is some kind of clock.

of course not.

why would i build
a clock?

$3.00, any drugstore.

doesn't lose 10
seconds a year.

anyway, the voice said, "edgar,
the world is a funny place.

"little wars here,
big wars there.

"volcanoes going off,
storms, tornadoes.

"a terrific amount
of noise and bother.

"you have to build something
that will keep the world

from going too far,
maybe even going poof."

what the pennies
do for big ben

this does for the world.

who do you think it is
who's speaking to you?

well, sometimes i think it's god

and then i think, no, god
would have a deeper voice.

would you care for a prune,
doctor?

no, thank you.

i was just leaving.

but you've just arrived.

careful!

i have no idea how
the thing works.

all i know is the voice tells
me what it needs, and i get it.

good-bye,
mr. witherspoon.

you keep up
the good work.

we could call
it a sculpture.

would that make my niece happy?

what?

oh, no.

if you happen
to run across

an old tuba, would
you bring it by?

i need it in two hours.

tuba...

edgar:
cynthia, don't do this to me.

uncle edgar, please.

it's just for three days,
while they observe you.

it's too long.

it has to be maintained,
kept in balance.

mr. witherspoon,

you hear voices.

that isn't normal.
you must understand that.

you hear voices, too.

no, healthy people do not
hear voices.

you hear mine, don't you?

that's not the same thing.

why? what's the difference

between a sane man
hearing a crazy voice

and a crazy man
hearing a sane voice?

maybe the truth is
somewhere in the middle.

you don't understand
the risk you're taking.

i know it. there goes tatoa.

what's tatoa?

a tiny island
in the south pacific.

what time is it?

3:17.

at 3:17 in the afternoon,
tatoa became history

because of you!

please, while
there's still time.

it will take me days
to clean up this joint.

keep her away from it.

remember tatoa!

classic psychosis--

tired, feeling useless

he created a typical
delusion of grandeur

that he was vital
to the world's survival.

poor uncle edgar.

you will take good care
of him, won't you?

mideast stalemate continues.

congress passes
transportation act.

and in the south pacific

the tiny island of tatoa is
destroyed by a tidal wave.

details on this and all
the news in an hour.

did he say tatoa?

yes. the number for
thechronicle,please.

thank you.

hello. i want to check
on a news story.

i just heard something
on the radio

about a tidal wave
destroying an island.

yes, that's it.

are there any details?

really, from out of nowhere?

when this afternoon?

exactly what time?

thank you.

ms. walker.

yes, doctor.

tatoa was destroyed
at 3:17 this afternoon.

is that bad?

last week santa barbara
was hit by an earthquake.

i'm not taking any chances.

oh, my god, the landlady.

she'll destroy it.

santa barbara?

get mr. witherspoon
released immediately.

drive him home--
you, personally.

as fast as you can.

don't touch a thing!

you didn't, did you?

you haven't touched
anything or moved anything?

not yet. why?

because this
is the creation...

of a disordered
mind.

by studying it, analyzing
it exactly as he left it,

i can come to
a deeper insight

into mr. witherspoon's problem.

he's a loony!

what else do you
have to know?

no, it's not
that simple.

i can't rent this place
with garbage in it.

all right.

i'll rent it.

you?

yes... yes. i'll give you double
what you're getting.

i'll be up later
with a check.

thank you, mrs. milligan.

he's escaped.

edgar:
excuse me.

hello.
oh!

mr. witherspoon.

mr. witherspoon!

milligan:
should i call
the cops?

no, everything's going
to be fine, mrs. milligan.

you got a handkerchief?

oh, yes.

yes, right away.

thanks. that lady had me dressed
so fast, i left mine behind.

mr. witherspoon, i don't know
how to begin to apologize.

nothing in my training
had prepared me

for a case like yours.

well, nice meeting you.

where are you going?

away, finally, after 11 years.

but what about "poof"?

the voice spoke to me while
i was in your hospital.

it said, "edgar, have you ever
been to miami?"

i said, "no, but i
used to think

it would be a nice
place to retire."

"go for it," the voice said.

"you're off duty."

you mean all this isn't
necessary anymore?

sure it is.

it's absolutely essential.

the world still has to be
kept in balance.

so who's going to...

look, it needs
adjusting already.

there, that's it.

now, if i can just get a ping-
pong ball in there by 7:13...

i guess we solved
that little problem.

i'd get cracking,
if i was you.

impossible.

i refuse.

jeremy, really,
you'll grow to like it.

give it a chance.

so long.

don't take any wooden nickels...

unless you really
need them, of course.

mr. witherspoon.

mr. witherspoon!

what?

oh, no.

no... a tambourine!

you've got to help me.

i have to find a tambourine
right away.

please, i can't...

can you help me?

do you know where i can
find a tambourine?

narrator:
if, in the next few months

you notice there's been
a spate of catastrophes

or things are just
not going right

remember that edgar
witherspoon's replacement

is learning how to make
some precise adjustments.

don't worry.

his education will
not last long.

then you might give thanks
to a physician whose practice

extends to the well-being
of the entire planet.

dr. jeremy sinclair offers

a unique form of preventative
medicine found only

in the twilight zone.
