The Outpost

This episode presents an allegorical drama without a specific time or location. There is a military outpost in a desert wilderness near a hypothetical enemy. A young lieutenant arrives and is shocked to find only four other soldiers, each with a stain against their military record. When he reports enemy troop movements, the others accuse him of having hallucinations. The action builds to a surprise ending and because the exact significance of the story is unclear, viewers are can draw their own conclusions.
