- [opening narration]
- Narrator: Incident one hundred miles off the coast of Guadalcanal. Time: The present. A United States naval destroyer, on what has been a most uneventful cruise. In a moment, they're going to send a man down thirty fathoms and check on a noisemaker - someone or something tapping on metal. You may or may not read the results in a naval report, because Captain Beecham and his crew have just set a course that will lead this ship and everyone on it - into the Twilight Zone.
- Chief Bell: That... that sub wasn't ever going to be able to come up again.
- Captain Beecham: What about you, Boats?
- Captain Beecham: [last line, upon hearing the revelation that one of the uniformed skeletons in the sunken sub was holding a hammer] ... Let's just save that part of the story for our grandchildren. Who else would believe it...? I figure that's the only thing worse than what war does to men's bodies - what it does to their minds.
- [He goes outside and stares into the ocean]
- Captain Beecham: Rest in peace, Mr. Bell. I figure that's the least of your dues.
- [closing narration]
- Narrator: Small naval engagement, the month of April 1963. Not to be found in any historical annals. Look for this one filed under 'H' for haunting - in the Twilight Zone.
