Successful businessman Paul Radin invites three people from his past to join him in the underground bunker he's built under his commercial office building. All three have had major influence on him though not the kind that made him what he is today. His former military commander had him court-martialed; his former teacher ridiculed and humiliated him in class after she caught him cheating; and his church Minister who ruined his reputation after he drove a girl to suicide. All he wants from them is one thing: a brief apology. The impact of what they've done is far greater than it appears

The Radin guy reminds me of Fauci, always having a chip on his shoulder, and being very insecure.

Yeah Radin could have been Fauci’s father, with his mannerism’s.

It’s a different premise, but I highly recommend the old episode of “The Shelter.”

It shows the darkness that lurks in mankind.

One of the best zones. Amazing that so much could be packed into a 22 minute drama. The fearful urge for survival at all costs, human mistrust, selfish goals, ethnic fears and hatred,.stupidity, laziness, foresight.

I remember this episode. One of many utterly profound glimpses into human nature submitted by the Twilight Zone.

Gotta remember the times.

This episode was aired before Glenn’s premiere US orbital flight. We were behind, plus the RATS that held the WH and both Sen. and House were still pushing the lie about a “Missile Gap”

Our politicians were very active to have us believe it was scary era!!

I was probably about 2-3 years old when this TZ episode aired, so I will take your word for it!
