The Twilight Zone (1959) s03e26 Episode Script
Little Girl Lost
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.
Mommy! I'll get it.
Mommy! Mommy! You're going? I'm just putting my slippers on.
Mommy! All right, sweetheart, i'm coming.
Hush up, mac.
Shh! What's the matter, baby? What'd you do, fall off? Come on.
Well, what'd you do, roll underneath? Daddy! All right, honey.
I'm right here.
Now, come on out.
Come on, you just crawled underneath the bed.
Tina.
All right, honey, come on, take my hand.
Come on.
What in the? Daddy.
All right, just a minute.
Chris, what is it? I don't know.
One frightened little girl.
Bettina miller.
Six years of age, average height and build, light-brown hair, quite pretty.
Being tucked in bed by her mother a few hours ago.
"Ay, there's the rub," as hamlet put it.
For bettina miller can be heard quite clearly, despite the rather curious fact that she can't be seen at all.
Let's say for the moment in the twilight zone.
What's the matter? She's not here.
What do you mean she's not look for yourself.
Tina? Mommy! I turned on the light.
Oh, no, no, it's crazy.
It just sounds as if she's mommy, pick me up.
Chris, where is she? I don't know.
Well, what are we going to do? I don't know, honey, but we're not going to panic.
Tina! Shut up, mac! Bill? Bill, this is chris.
Can you come over to the house right away? I'm sorry, bill, this is an emergency.
Tina has disappeared.
No, no, she hasn't been kidnapped.
Tina is tina is here but she's not here.
Bill, for crying out loud, will you get over here?! Hurry.
Shouldn't we wake her? Bill's coming over, honey.
Bill? Well, he's a physicist.
Maybe he can help us out.
I don't know, i couldn't think of anything else.
Oh, god, where is she? Where is she? Listen, i'd better go and let that dog in before he wakes up the whole neighborhood.
Honey, i'm going to check underneath the house.
Mac, come here.
Come here! Come here, mac.
He's gone.
No they're not under the house.
What's wrong, chris? Listen, tina woke us up with her crying.
So i went into the bedroom and i couldn't find her.
I let the dog in and he went under the bed and he's gone, too.
Let's move the bed.
Oh, bill, where is she? I'm about to lose my mind.
Hold on, ruth.
She's breathing normally, she must be all right.
Now wait a second.
We'd better mark where the legs go.
Here.
Still there? Yes.
Now, you've felt all over here? Yes.
And? Nothing.
Okay.
What are you looking for? The opening maybe.
The opening to what? I'm not sure, ruth.
You're! It's as if you were going to step on her.
No.
Are you sure that you felt all over here? Well, maybe not every single inch! Take it easy.
Take it easy.
I just don't get it.
Now, wait.
Now, wait.
What is it? The opening.
The? To what? I think to another dimension.
Another what? I don't know if i'm right, but i can't think of anything else.
Tina must have fallen out of bed, accidentally rolled under it and gone through.
And that's where mac went, too, huh? Probably sensed it.
Animals are sharper about these things than humans.
He knew she was in there and went after her.
Then why can't we? No.
We don't know what's in there.
My daughter's in there! I know that, ruth, but we can't.
Bill, for crying out loud, she's right here! All we have to do is reach in and pull her out.
If it was as simple as that, why hasn't mac found her yet? Nope if it's what i think, it's kind of a gap opening on another dimension.
Probably the fourth dimension.
It just wouldn't be laid out like our world, chris.
Well, there must be something we can do.
Have you got a a crayon, a piece of chalk? Here.
All right, now let's just see how big this thing is.
Bill, i just don't understand understand it.
The third dimension is just a step below the fourth, chris.
It's a big step, granted, but it's just one step.
Now, every point in our space is part of a perpendicular line in the fourth dimension.
So? So although all the lines forming the fourth dimension are perpendicular to every point in the third, they're not necessarily parallel to us.
But if enough of the lines are parallel in both dimensions in a given area, it might create an opening.
What, has this opening always been here? It might have been.
I doubt it, though.
Believe me, i'm no expert on this.
Who is? But i suspect that junctures between dimensions are freaks of nature that happen who knows how often.
Rarely, i'd say.
I hope.
There it is.
Shh.
What's the matter? I can't hear her anymore.
What? Oh, no! Tina! Tina! Hold it down.
Start moving around.
Huh? Move around.
Move around.
Shh! Oh, what in heaven's name start looking for her.
Where? Anywhere- the whole house.
In here! I want my dolly.
What is this?! Chris, i told you what i think.
But if she went into this other dimension in the bedroom, and if she's still asleep, then what is she doing here? Chris if she's beyond our world, her movements might seem to us to be coming from all over the place.
Actually, she might be just turning in her sleep.
Call the dog.
Huh? Call the dog, hurry.
Mac.
Here, mac.
Come on, boy.
That's it, that's a boy.
Mac where are you taking me, mac? Mac, don't.
Tell her to go with the dog.
Go on.
Tina! Mommy! Go with mac, baby.
Go with him.
Where are you? I'm here, baby.
Never mind.
Just tell her to go with the dog- hurry! Sweetie, go with mac, right away.
Will he take me where you are? Yes, baby, he will.
All right, mommy.
Let's go.
Call the dog again.
Mac, here, boy, here.
Oh, bill, can't we try it'll have to be the dog.
We can't take the chance of going in there.
Mac, here, boy! Here, mac! Hold it.
He's doing it.
Man, what a mutt.
Come on, boy.
Come on, mac, here, boy.
Tina! Mommy! Come on, mac.
Come on out, boy.
Tina! Mac, bring her out! Daddy, where are you? We're here, baby! We're here.
We're right here! I can't see you.
Mac, bring her out.
Why doesn't he do it? Maybe he can't.
No! Tina.
Tina, take my hand.
Chris, don't do it.
My hand, honey.
Take ahold of it.
Here.
Here.
I can't see it, daddy.
Here, honey.
Chris! Can you hear me? We're right here, pal.
Don't move.
I've got to.
Don't move an inch.
I've got to find her.
Let her come to you, chris.
Call her.
Tina.
Daddy, where are you? I'm right here.
Come to the sound of my voice.
That might not work, chris.
Get mac to bring her to you and hurry.
Tina? Where are you, daddy? I'm right here, baby.
Is-is is mac with you? Yes, but where are you? I'm here, baby! Grab onto mac's collar.
You hear me? Hurry up, chris.
Grab onto his collar.
You got it? Yes.
Get a good grip.
Yes, daddy, but don't let go.
Mac.
Here, boy! Bring her here.
Daddy hold on to him tight.
Don't let go.
I won't, but where are you, daddy? You'll be with me in a minute, honey.
Now just hang on.
Come on, mac.
Come on, bring her here.
Is he bringing you, tina? Yes.
All right, hang on tight, sweetheart.
Don't let go.
I won't, but where are you, daddy? You'll be with me in a minute, honey.
Now just hang on tight.
Come on, boy.
Mac, bring her to me.
Come on, mac.
Hurry, chris! That's a boy.
Attaboy.
Come on.
Can you see her? I don't know.
Wait a minute.
Yes.
Here, boy.
Come on, boy.
That's right.
Bring her to me.
That's right.
Come closer now.
Okay, i got him! I got tina! All right, now hold on hold on tight.
You got a good grip? I mean a good one.
Yeah, but what are you going to do? Tina! Mommy.
Mommy.
Oh, darling.
She's fine.
Oh, i got to get her out of this room.
Mommy! Mommy! Oh, man.
What happened? I pulled you out.
How could you see me? Half of you was still here.
You mean to say you had hold of me all this time? That's right.
Oh, bill.
You know, i didn't even feel you.
Say, listen, why didn't you want me to reach in there? And how come i kept telling you to hurry? Yeah.
That's why.
It was closing up all the time you were in there.
Another few seconds and half of you would have been here and the other half the other half, where? The fourth dimension, the fifth? Perhaps.
They never found the answer.
Despite a battery of research physicists equipped with every device known to man- electronic and otherwise- no result was ever achieved.
Except perhaps a little more respect for and uncertainty about the mechanisms of the twilight zone.
Rod serling, creator ofthe twilight zone, will tell you about next week's story after this message.
And now mr.
Serling.
Next week we again borrow from the considerable talents of charles beaumont, and we take a fast track on the wild side.
Picture if you will a man who wakes up in a strange world, knows everyone, knows every place, feels every much at home.
The strangeness comes from the fact that no one knows him.
Try this on for size on the nexttwilight zone.
It's called "person or persons unknown.
" Habit is something you do when pleasure is gone, and certainly this is not the way to smoke.
I prefer to smoke chesterfields and get the rich taste of 21 great tobaccos.
Blended mild, not filtered mild.
Smoke for pleasure, smoke chesterfields.
This is james arness.
You know it's only a short hop fromthe twilight zone to dodge city andgunsmoke, saturday nights over most of these stations.
Your next stop, the twilight zone.
