This is Twilight Zone at it's best. Amazing acting both from the protagonists and the villain(s). Incredible twist at the end that puts a bow on it. It even took me by surprise and usually I can see these coming. That is because the episode simply captures you entirely and doesn't let you consider anything outside it's bounds. The tension keeps building and building until the climax. This is an example of what I watch T.Z. for. It screws with your head, but makes sense at the same time. It's out of this world, and yet closer than you think. The suspense of watching as the villain picks up the item and investigates it is exhausting. His is one of the most powerful performances in this episode, conveying a sense of relation to most governmental agendas. Don't take my word for it though, just watch it.
