01:29A crowd, a proper atmosphere, and the common coin of desperate belief, commodities necessary
01:37to the life and times of Leonard Randall, who may or may not be someone else as well.
01:59I am Delos.
02:18And I am here.
02:22Ten thousand years ago was I born, and nine thousand five hundred years ago did I die.
02:38I have walked the cobbled streets of the place men called Atlantis, but which we called Shuma
02:47Zamoria.
02:49My master in wisdom was Eli Ben Zamora, who studied at the feet of the Undying One himself.
02:59To you, I bring what little I can offer against the darkness.
03:06I am Delos, and I am among you.
03:15Speak, and you shall be heard.
03:21So David is a nice man, and I think he's a soulmate.
03:30But I'm not sure, and I don't want to get married again until I've found that soulmate.
03:38I'm really getting pretty desperate.
03:43My child, in Shuma Zamoria, there was a rare breed of butterfly with wings as golden as the morning sun,
03:49and very, very fast.
03:52If you would try to catch it, so, you would never possess it.
03:58And the more you would try, the more angry and desperate you would become.
04:04But the children knew better.
04:06They would lay down and empty their thoughts and be calm, and soon enough,
04:10the golden-winged butterfly of Shuma Zamoria would land.
04:14Just so.
04:16Do you understand?
04:18Yes.
04:19Thank you, Delos.
04:24This vessel grows weary.
04:26We must not tax the goodwill of our host.
04:29I have time for one last question.
04:32You, the one this vessel calls, Julia.
04:38Thank you, Delos.
04:40A question, not for my own benefit.
04:44Why have you been silent for so long?
04:46And why have you come back now?
04:49I come through the one called Leonard because he has been chosen to receive wisdom.
04:55The universe has selected him, and through this he shall gain great wisdom.
04:59As for the second question.
05:03Five thousand years ago, Shuma Zamoria was destroyed, cast down beneath the waves, a victim of its own decay.
05:17And now, this cycle begins again.
05:20A third change is nearly upon us.
05:25It may bring great good or great evil.
05:32And you.
05:34All of you will tilt.
05:47Our balance.
05:48My time here has ended.
05:54He whose body I inhabit has reached his limit, and I must go.
06:00Remember all I have said here today.
06:04And seek the light within each of you.
06:10I am Delos, and I wish you well.
06:21Ladies and gentlemen, thank you all for coming.
06:34But I'm afraid Leonard will have to rest for a while.
06:37We invite you to come back next week.
06:39And remember, an audio cassette of tonight's session will be available in the front lobby in about an hour.
06:44Thank you very much.
06:45Thank you.
06:45Thank you.
06:45Thank you.
06:47They're gone.
06:59Leonard?
07:00Leonard.
07:03Hey, the Clippers are actually winning.
07:04Can you believe it?
07:05It's about time.
07:07Here, I want you to sign here and here.
07:10Okay?
07:11How was the take?
07:12Not as usual.
07:13Up from yesterday, which was up from the day before.
07:16Numbers?
07:17Ah, we're booked solid on the three-day retreat.
07:26Crystal's tapes and amulets are up five percent.
07:28Book sales are up by ten, but holding.
07:30We got the printer standing by for another run after the TV show.
07:34Ah, which reminds me, don't forget, you got the pre-interview tomorrow afternoon at three, okay?
07:38Good.
07:39Should be quite a reaction when Delos goes coast to coast.
07:42Just a hop, skip and a jump till we have a show of room.
07:45One step at a time.
07:47As our good friend Delos might say, never take anything for granted in the profit biz.
07:55Words far truer than he suspects.
07:57Hey, that's a good one.
08:02Yeah, thanks.
08:03It is a good line.
08:04Listen, get me everything you can on Daphne Blake.
08:06The more I know going in, the better I'll be able to tailor Delos.
08:08Yeah, will do.
08:09Shall I also send her a bio on you?
08:11I suppose, but nothing too spectacular.
08:13Just indicate that I'm a humble tool of the great Delos.
08:16But a worthy tool can be made from even the basest of Delos.
08:26Right.
08:34So you understand, gentlemen, this is just a formality.
08:37Miss Blake likes first-time guests to come by, get a feel for the place.
08:40Let us know what you want to talk about.
08:43Right this way, please.
08:43Formality saves me the trouble of keeping notice.
08:50Is there anything in particular you'd like to mention when you're on the air?
08:57Only that the true meaning in life is that which we choose to give it,
09:01and that the universe is not without mercy,
09:03and not so jealous that it cannot allow for a multitude of visions.
09:06All truths are correct.
09:08All creeds valid.
09:10And the only secret is that there is no secret.
09:12We're having a rally at the Pacific Arts Stadium on the 14th.
09:20So perhaps Miss Blake would want to mention that.
09:26Sure.
09:28Which part?
09:28You'll have to excuse Mr. Randall.
09:32He's been working very hard.
09:34Sometimes it's hard to keep it all straight.
09:37I have no trouble seeing things as they are.
09:39That is indeed my curse.
09:41I see this television as the single greatest time waster in the history of mankind.
09:44You make sport of people's pain and exploit people and sell trinkets to those who cannot afford them.
09:51You do this to increase your own wealth.
09:52Yes, I see things quite well, indeed.
09:55And I see that the woman in whose employ you labor is an adulteress, a user of chemicals.
10:00That'll be quite enough.
10:02But excuse me.
10:03What the hell is wrong with you?
10:10What?
10:11Where's the guy?
10:12He's gone.
10:13And I wouldn't blame him if he had the appearance canceled.
10:15That's what you said.
10:16I said what?
10:17I didn't say anything.
10:18Leonard, don't play games with me.
10:21I'm not, Don.
10:23Honest.
10:26You're not, huh?
10:27And I see that the woman in whose employ you labor is an adulteress, a user of chemicals.
10:39Who's that?
10:41It's you.
10:52So what, what's the situation?
10:57Okay, I talked to the producer at Daphne Blake's show.
11:00I took a lot of talking, Leonard, and a lot of favors called in, okay?
11:05I was still due to go on the air.
11:07That's, hey, that's good at least.
11:10Maybe.
11:15Leonard, this can't keep going on.
11:21Now, you're going to have to do something before we go on the show.
11:24You have to get control of that, uh, that voice.
11:29Well, it can't be Delos.
11:30There is no Delos.
11:32I mean, Don, we invented him.
11:34Remember?
11:36I said a 10,000-year-old warrior, and you thought I said a 10,000-year-old warrior.
11:41Hell, I thought you'd never stop laughing.
11:43Yeah, only it's not funny anymore, Leonard.
11:46And the money and the good times, it all comes to a stop unless you can get this under control.
11:50Okay.
11:54Which is why I haven't made an appointment with someone for you.
11:58Uh, he's a specialist, and I think he can help.
12:02A psychiatrist?
12:05No way.
12:07Not a chance.
12:09Leonard.
12:09Uh, I don't know what's going on here, and neither do you.
12:16All I know is, everything is riding on this show tomorrow.
12:19Now, mess up, man.
12:22And we're finished.
12:24I said no.
12:26N-O.
12:27I can handle it!
12:29I'm sorry, um, look, can we backtrack a moment?
12:34I think there's something I'm not getting here.
12:37You're a trans-channeler, aren't you?
12:39Yes.
12:40Not to be judgmental, but, uh, you're supposed to hear voices, yes?
12:47Yes.
12:48Then what's the problem?
12:49Well,
12:51it's, uh,
12:54you've got to understand, Dr. Greenberg,
12:56I'm really getting this voice, see?
12:59And I've got to go on TV tomorrow.
13:02So, unless you can help.
13:04Uh, television.
13:06Now I start to get the picture, so to speak.
13:09Mr. Randall,
13:11I've worked as a psychotherapist for 20 years.
13:15I pride myself on my record.
13:17If it's all the same to you,
13:18I'd rather not be the subject of this little publicity stunt.
13:21You may claim to hear as many voices as you wish, Mr. Randall,
13:24but do not come to me to add credibility to your little scam.
13:29Yes, you are a good man.
13:31One of the few I have met recently.
13:33That's right, and I...
13:34Oh, I see.
13:36And this is the voice, is it?
13:38Very nice.
13:40What else do you do?
13:41I speak honestly, that's all.
13:43It's not unlike what you do, I think.
13:45Oh, I see.
13:46And, uh, who might you be?
13:48Napoleon?
13:48Aristotle?
13:49Napoleon is dead.
13:50Aristotle is dead.
13:52And you do not look well yourself.
13:54Why do you do that to yourself?
13:57I think that'll be all for today, Mr. Randall.
14:02You miss her very much, don't you?
14:05What?
14:09I see such pain in you.
14:11But there was nothing you could do,
14:13even if you had arrived soon.
14:14It would have been too late.
14:16Your wife misses you as much as you miss her.
14:19But she would prefer you did not hurry the reunion.
14:22Get out!
14:23What?
14:24What did I do?
14:24Just, how dare you?
14:26How dare you use my wife, too?
14:27Of all the cheap, just get out!
14:29Forget my fee, forget the whole thing, just go away!
14:31Hey, how do I look?
14:50Never mind how you look.
14:51How do you feel?
14:52I think it'll be okay.
14:55I taped myself last night, and the voice, whatever.
14:58It didn't say a word all night.
14:59Maybe it's gone.
14:59Well, let's hope so.
15:02Three minutes, Mr. Randall.
15:05Look, just keep telling yourself.
15:08Get through this, make Thalos a star,
15:11and we are set out for life.
15:14All right?
15:14Come on, let's get out of here.
15:19Well, we're back.
15:20Our next guest has been making quite a splash these days,
15:23and we're very pleased to have him on the show.
15:25He's a trans-channeler,
15:27and that's a fascinating subject we'll explore in just a moment.
15:30But first, I'd like to welcome him to this,
15:31his first television appearance,
15:34Mr. Leonard Randall.
15:36Hello, Leonard.
15:38How are you?
15:41So, Leonard, could you start by telling us
15:44what this trans-channeling is all about?
15:46I mean, how would you describe what it is that you do?
15:50These are sad times, Miss Blake.
16:04All that is mysterious, all that is magic,
16:07has been leeched away.
16:09People who do not see the magic in themselves
16:11seek it in someone else.
16:13They are so desperate for mystery,
16:15for something to believe in.
16:16They are willing to accept without question
16:18even the most outrageous propositions.
16:21Such as?
16:22Such as the man sitting in this chair.
16:26And for the honor of being treated like sheep,
16:29for the distinction of being treated like gullible children
16:32they are willing to sacrifice,
16:35they would give it all
16:36for a scent of magic.
16:40Mr. Randall,
16:40do you suppose that we could speak with Delos?
16:43He's the ten-thousand-year-old warrior
16:45that you channel, isn't he?
16:47There is no Delos.
16:49There never was.
16:52Considered an investment of innocence
16:54that turned a considerable profit,
16:56and now the game is over.
16:58The masquerade is ended.
17:01To the followers of Delos,
17:02I can only offer the sincere apologies
17:04of Leonard Randall
17:05and one slightly used piece of wisdom.
17:08Do not seek enlightenment
17:10in the vain and self-indulgent proclamations
17:12of those who insist you must pay for your own soul.
17:15Do not seek it in this box
17:17or in the opinions of others.
17:21Seek it in the quiet turning
17:23of your own considered conscience.
17:27Thank you.
17:29Well, folks, you've heard it here first.
17:32We'll be back right after these messages.
17:34Thank you.
17:35Thank you.
17:36Thank you.
17:42I'm almost afraid to ask.
17:51The scandal's killing us.
17:53Everyone who's ever given us a dime
17:55is asking for it back.
17:57We've logged 200 angry calls.
17:59The investors are pulling out
18:00left, right, and center.
18:01Oh, yeah.
18:01And the IRS is nosing around.
18:05We were on shaky financial footing
18:06as it was,
18:07but now, if you're lucky,
18:08there's enough to get you a hotel
18:10somewhere for the night.
18:12If you're not,
18:14what are we going to do?
18:17We?
18:19Hey, man, I'm out of here.
18:22Yeah, it's too bad, really.
18:23I thought you were sharp.
18:25I don't know.
18:25I thought you had it.
18:27Anyway, I was wrong.
18:29I got a gig with a healer
18:31down in Panama.
18:32Folks say he's the best around.
18:34Probably make it big in a few years.
18:35with the right lieutenant.
18:45Get some serious help, Leonard.
18:49And if we should ever cross
18:51a hallway somewhere,
18:53just pretend you never met me.
18:57I will.
18:58I will.
19:05Well, Leonard,
19:11I guess it's all over now.
19:16Quite to the contrary.
19:18It is only the beginning.
19:25You.
19:26It's you.
19:28Yes.
19:29I'm pleased that you can hear me at last.
19:31There was so much in the way between us.
19:32That's why I had to get rid of it all,
19:34you see.
19:34You couldn't hear me.
19:40Anger, Mr. Randall?
19:42It seems rather pointless,
19:43don't you think?
19:44Isn't that what you said?
19:45What Delos said?
19:47Suburge anger.
19:48Find the center.
19:49Where the hell are you?
19:51Come on out.
19:53I'll kill you.
19:53You're out here.
19:55Where are you?
19:57I'm here, Mr. Randall.
19:58With you.
19:59Why are you doing this to me?
20:04Why?
20:06Look over here, Mr. Randall.
20:14I'm here at your urging, Mr. Randall.
20:17You said the universe had chosen you for wisdom,
20:19and you, of all people,
20:20should know that sometimes,
20:22when you speak to the universe,
20:23the universe listens.
20:28You asked for wisdom,
20:29and now you will receive it.
20:31It will be a long process,
20:33but to that end,
20:33I am willing to be your constant companion.
20:36I will be with you every moment,
20:38day and night,
20:40for as long as it takes.
20:42How long?
20:47How long will it take?
20:5220, 30 years at most.
20:57And now, as you say,
20:59in your modern world,
21:01let's take it from the top.
21:04Critical reviews received
21:10and reluctantly acknowledged
21:11by Mr. Leonard Randall.
21:13A case study in showmanship,
21:15who found himself upstaged
21:17in the final act
21:18by The Twilight Zone.
21:20The Twilight Zone.
