You unlock this door
with the key of imagination.
-
Beyond it is another dimension-
-
a dimension of sound,
-
a dimension of sight,
-
a dimension of mind.
-
You're moving into a land
of both shadow and substance,
-
of things and ideas.
-
You've just crossed over
into the twilight zone.
-
Oliver pope by name,
-
office manager by profession.
-
A man beset by life's problems:
-
His job, his salary,
the competition to get ahead.
-
Obviously mr. Pope's mind
is not on his driving.
-
Stop! Stop!
-
Oliver pope,
businessman turned killer
-
on a rain-soaked street
-
in the early evening
of just another day
-
during just another drive home
from the office.
-
The victim, a kid on a bicycle,
lying injured, near death.
-
But mr. Pope hasn't time
for the victim.
-
His only concern is for himself.
-
Oliver pope,
hit-and-run driver,
-
just arrived
at a crossroad in his life,
-
and he's chosen the wrong turn.
-
The hit occurred
in the world he knows,
-
but the run will lead him
straight into the twilight zone.
-
How come you put the car away?
-
I thought we were
going to a movie.
-
Oh, no, i've got a headache.
-
Aw. Bad day at the office, ollie?
-
Yeah, yeah,they're all bad.
-
You know that pete radcliff?
-
Well, he's after my job.
-
He didn't impress me
as that kind of fella at all.
-
Please, why do you have to disagree
with everything i say?
-
Oh, now, ollie, you're
just tired and cross.
-
You've got a headache,
-
and you just take this
and you'll feel better.
-
What are you doing?
-
Seeing if you've got a fever.
-
You might have caught that flu bug
that's been going around.
-
I'm all right. I'm all right.
Please just leave me alone.
-
Stop fussing over me.
-
Ollie...
-
ollie, somebody's
fooling around out in the garage.
-
In the...
-
i'll go take a look.
-
Who's out there?
-
What was it?
-
Uh, nobody there.
-
What was that
light i saw?
-
Well, it was
the car itself.
-
A faulty connection
or something.
-
The lights kept going on
and off by themselves.
-
A car shouldn't act like that.
-
I just paid the repair shop
$35 to have it put into shape.
-
Didn't see the paper
-
while you were out there, did you?
-
No.
-
Boy's late.
-
I guess it's the rain.
-
There was an accident
this evening
-
at the corner of third and park.
-
Could you... uh, well,
i'm a friend of the family's.
-
Could you tell me,
how is the boy?
-
Yes.
-
Uh... terrible.
-
Ollie, what on earth is that?
-
Must be some jerk
waking people up
-
in the middle of the night.
-
Ollie, that's your horn.
-
Isn't it terrible
about that little boy?
-
Only 12 years old,
-
and they don't
expect him to live.
-
I hope they find
the man who did it
-
so they can give him
what's coming to him.
-
How do you know
it was a man?
-
Didn't you get that far?
-
There was a witness.
-
How do you expect
to do a day's work
-
on one little
piece of toast?
-
Well... i'm not going to go
to the office today, lil, i...
-
i don't feel very well.
-
Okay, lie down then.
-
I thought you fixed that.
-
I did.
-
You're sure there wasn't somebody
in the garage last night?
-
I told you,
it's that car-
-
it's old car, nothing
about it works right.
-
We've had a lot of old cars
-
that didn't go honking their heads off
in the middle of the night.
-
I'm going to get rid of it.
-
Well, i'm going down
and have it looked at.
-
Yes, yes, third and park.
-
Well, i don't know
what's the matter.
-
It just stopped
and it won't start again.
-
Could you please send
a tow truck right away?
-
I'm in the middle of the street.
-
Lil, what took you so long?
-
I never...
i never had such a morning
-
in my life-
that car...
-
well, what about the car?
-
Well, it's
in the repair shop.
-
- I had to take a cab home.
- What happened?
-
The strangest thing
i've ever seen.
-
It all started down here
at the corner.
-
I wanted to turn right.
-
I could not make that wheel turn
the way i wanted to go.
-
And then finally,
the car stalls
-
at the intersection
of third and park.
-
- Stalled?
- Yes, the motor died.
-
There i was right
in the middle of the street,
-
blocking traffic.
-
Why, even the police
couldn't get it started.
-
What were the
police doing there?
-
Oh, they weren't after me.
-
It's the same corner
where that little child
-
was run down last night.
-
Police said to keep a look out
in case the criminal
-
returns to the scene
of the crime.
-
Did they say
if they had any leads?
-
Well, yes, they're
getting close to an arrest.
-
I hope they get him.
-
Nobody's safe with a
madman like that around.
-
I thought you said
-
the... the car
was in the repair shop.
-
Well, it is.
-
What are you trying to do?
-
What are you talking about?
-
You said the car was
in the repair shop.
-
Well, it was.
-
What's it doing here?
-
Wait a minute.
-
I'll get it.
-
Hello?
-
Yes, yes, speaking.
-
No, i didn't pick it up.
-
Yes.
-
Yes, i know where it is.
-
It's right here.
-
Didn't one of your
men deliver it?
-
No, no, no, i don't
understand it either,
-
but i'd like you to
understand one thing.
-
Don't bother
to send me a bill.
154
00:10:57,024 --> 00:10:59,009
You didn't have the car
down there long enough
-
to even look it over.
-
What do you think about that?
-
Was that the mechanic?
-
They said
they lost the car.
-
Can you imagine
the nerve of that guy?
-
It's not lost, it's right here.
-
Will you explain to me
how it got here?
-
They didn't deliver it.
-
Well, it didn't
drive itself home.
-
Wait a minute,
don't answer that.
-
Well, why not?
-
Well, uh, all right,
but if it's for me,
-
just say
that i'm not home.
-
Ollie, what on earth
is frightening you?
-
Nothing, nothing.
-
I just don't feel like
seeing anybody, that's all.
-
I don't know what it is,
-
but if you don't get over
these heebie-jeebies,
-
i'm calling a doctor.
-
Morning, mrs. Pope.
-
Well, what a nice surprise.
-
Ollie here?
-
Yes, he's in the living room.
-
Can i see him?
-
Yes, just for a minute.
-
He's kind of under
the weather today.
-
It's nothing serious.
-
I think he's just got
a touch of the flu.
-
Guess who's here.
-
Ollie, boy.
-
Oh.
-
I hear the flu bug
got you down.
-
Well, no, no,
not quite.
-
I'll be back
in the morning.
-
Well, i hope so.
-
Gets kind of dull
down there without you.
-
Oh?
-
What brings you
out here, pete?
-
When you didn't
show up at the office,
-
i thought i'd clear
up your "in" basket of yours.
-
Keep your hands off of my desk.
-
I've got some very important
correspondence in that basket.
-
Not anymore, i took care of it.
-
Your letters, sir,
-
all answered
and waiting for your signature.
-
All answered...
-
ollie!
-
I'm sorry, ollie, i...
-
only wanted to do you a favor.
-
You can do me a favor.
-
Quit bucking for my job, huh?
-
I take one morning off
and you start making noises
-
like you're
the head of the department.
-
You got it wrong, ollie.
-
I was only trying to help you.
-
I didn't want things
to pile up on you.
-
Don't try.
-
You listen to me.
-
You think i enjoyed
sitting in that office
-
dictating your lousy letters?
-
I got better things
to do, buddy boy.
-
Nobody's holding you here.
-
Go do them.
-
You bet I will.
-
Pete...
-
I'm sorry, I...
-
shouldn't have blown up
at him like that.
-
Last night, a kid on our block
was run down.
-
I knew him.
-
He used to come over
-
and play with my kids.
-
There was one nice, decent,
fun-loving, ambitious little kid
-
and some maniac
smashed into him
-
and left him lying there
in the rain.
-
I know.
-
We've been reading about it
in the papers.
-
Terrible shame.
-
Well, they're watching
the corner.
-
He'll show up,
they always do.
-
You don't happen to know
-
how the little boy's
getting on, do you?
-
He died, mrs. Pope.
-
About an hour ago.
-
Oh...
-
well...
-
i'll see you to the door.
-
I think that's him.
-
That won't do,
you have to be sure.
-
That's him, i'm sure.
-
Wait here.
-
Could i see your
driver's license please?
-
Sure.
-
Mind if i ask why?
-
Where were you
last night at 6:15?
-
Home with my wife
and kids.
-
I got a witness
says you're wrong.
-
Ollie, what on
earth's the matter?
-
Oliver?
-
They arrested
that hit-and-run driver, lil.
-
Well, i'm glad to hear it
-
but is that any reason for you
to look white as a ghost?
-
The man they arrested
was pete radcliff.
-
Oh, i don't believe that.
-
Here, read for yourself.
-
Positively identified
by an eyewitness
-
at the scene of the accident.
-
I still can't believe it.
-
You can tell if a man
would do a thing like that.
-
Pete just isn't the type.
-
You don't know him
as well as i do.
-
Well, i suppose not.
-
You always have said
he was sneaky-
-
after your job and all.
-
I don't have to worry
about that anymore.
-
Well, how can you
take satisfaction
-
out of somebody
else's misfortune?
-
I don't mean i got any
pleasure out of it.
-
I mean, i don't have
to worry about things
-
down at the office anymore.
-
Now, there is somebody
out in that garage.
-
I am not imagining it
this time.
-
There's nobody out there.
-
Are you going to look?
-
That noise could have
come from anywhere.
-
It came from the garage.
-
If you're afraid,
i'll call the police.
-
No- no.
-
I'll go.
-
Who's in here?
-
No... no...
-
ollie?
-
Ollie!
-
What?
-
Some nut's got his radio on
-
as high as it'll go.
-
It seems to me like it's coming
from the cassidys'.
-
Oh?
-
Hey...
-
hey, you over there.
-
People are trying to sleep.
-
Look, pipe down, will you?
-
Lil, I...
-
i don't guess they hear me.
-
I better go down there
and talk to them.
-
And now five minutes
of the late news.
-
An arrest has been made
-
in the case of the driver
who yesterday ran away
-
after fatally injuring
young timmy danvers.

-
has been positively identified
by mrs. Muriel hastings,
-
who witnessed the accident
at the intersection of third and elm.
-
Funeral services for the victim
will take place
-
tomorrow afternoon
at trinity church.

with breakfast in bed.
-
Oh... i'm not an invalid, lil.
-
And i'm not hungry either.
-
You know, i still think you
ought to call the police.
-
Why, honey?
-
Well, to find out
about those prowlers in the garage.
-
It's been two nights running now.
-
I'll tell you what i'll do.
-
When i get back
from work tonight,
-
i'll put a lock
on that garage door.
-
Bye-bye.
-
Oh, ollie,
you better take a raincoat.
-
Radio said it might rain.
-
Oh, lil,
it's not going to rain.
-
Now don't you
stay down there working
-
if you get tired.
-
You come on home.
-
All right, lil,
all right, i will.
-
Aren't you going to drive?
-
Well, i thought i
would take the bus.
-
Why?
-
Well, i don't trust that car.
-
I mean, it's falling apart.
-
Well, you just gonna
leave it in the garage?
-
No, no. I thought i'd
put an ad in the paper.
-
Somebody will take
it off our hands.
-
Bye-bye, lil.
-
Bye, ollie.
