- Officer: What was it, doctor?
- Man: Black magic? Something from Satan?
- Man: Read it.
- Doctor: [Reads aloud] "Greetings to the people of Earth. We come as friends and in peace. We bring you this gift. The following chemical formula is a vaccine. It's a vaccine against all forms of cancer."
- [sighs]
- Doctor: That's all there is; the rest has been burned.
- [the onlookers are deeply shocked]
- Doctor: So we have not just killed a man, we have killed a dream.
- [opening narration]
- Narrator: The place is Mexico, just across the Texas border, a mountain village held back in time by its remoteness and suddenly intruded upon by the twentieth century. And this is Pedro, nine years old, a lonely, rootless little boy, who will soon make the acquaintance of a traveler from a distant place. We are at present forty miles from the Rio Grande, but any place and all places can be - the Twilight Zone.
- [closing narration]
- Narrator: Madeiro, Mexico, the present. The subject: fear. The cure: a little more faith. An RX off a shelf - in the Twilight Zone.
