Our current edition. First verified print: size and MD5 checked against the Archive.org item in the same pass that hashed the pieces. Read the print report.
1 seeder reported in the last hour
Seeders have the complete download. 0 downloading · 0 completed downloads.
Open the .torrent file in your torrent client to start. It includes the webseed. A magnet link opens your client directly; it may need peers to find the file details. No account needed.
First download? Start here
- Install a torrent client on your computer, such as qBittorrent or Transmission, from its official site.
- Choose Download .torrent above. This small file tells your client which files to fetch; it is not the film, book, or music itself.
- Open that file in your client, choose a folder with enough space for the download size shown above, and start the transfer.
- Once it finishes, open the downloaded files. Leave the torrent in your client to share it with others.

Download not starting?
- If a magnet does nothing, open your client first or use Download .torrent and open the saved file from the client.
- If the client is waiting for metadata, try the .torrent file. It already includes the file details and available webseed fallbacks.
- Check that the torrent is not paused or queued, your destination has enough free space, and your connection is online.
- A recent seeder report is not a guarantee of a connection now. Webseeds can also be temporarily unavailable; leave the client open and try again later.
You do not need an account to download.
Copy the magnet link
Keep your torrent client open afterward to share this copy with the Den.
The Episode
A pocket watch passes from wife to husband and brings a murder with it, days ahead of schedule. Ron Randell spends the episode trying to get ahead of a fixed event.
The copy we chose
Print Report
Chosen print: Archive.org item S2E35CONTACT — S2E35 - CONTACT.mp4, 450 MB · 22 min.
One torrent per episode, with the Archive.org item as a BEP 19 webseed alongside our seedbox and tracker. Not yet fetched, hashed or watched: the print report is completed when the file is downloaded and verified against Archive.org's published size and checksum.
Wanted: a full-length print. Every copy of this episode found on Archive.org runs about 22 minutes against the 25–26 the series normally ran, so the best available print is very likely a syndication trim rather than the broadcast cut. It ships because a short print beats no print, and a full-length copy is wanted — the report button on this page is the way to tell us about one.
Public Domain
Why It's Free
Public domain: registered as published, never renewed. World Television Programming, Inc. registered this episode with the Copyright Office as a published motion picture, which is the fact that matters most — a series that was only broadcast and syndicated was never published, never needed renewing, and would still be protected today. The registration line reads: Contact. © 24May60; LP16493.
No renewal was filed in the 28th year. The check is not a search for this episode's title, which can be spelled differently on the record than on air; it is a sweep of the Copyright Office's post-1978 records for the claimant's own filings, which returns exactly twelve renewals across the whole series and does not include this one. Underneath, the teleplay is original — no renewal surfaced under any credited writer — and Harry Lubin's theme returned no renewal under composer or title, so unlike most vintage television nothing survives in the music.
