Gaspar wants Billy to accompany him to the cemetery the next day because he believes he is going to die. At the cemetery, Gaspar tells Billy the story of how a pope from the 16th century decreed that the entire civilized world adopt a new calendar, which advanced time by eleven days.

The pope's calculations, were off by one hour. That hour "slipped free and bounced through eternity". Gaspar is the latest of the "paladins of the lost hour", who are tasked with preserving that one hour and preventing the end of time. If Gaspar dies before passing the watch on to another person, the watch will begin to tick. Gaspar offers the watch to Billy. Gaspar asks Billy to use the watch for Gaspar to call back Minna and give him one minute with her, but Billy refuses the request. Gaspar tells Billy that he passed the test; as a reward, Gaspar lets the watch tick for one minute. A Marine in full dress uniform appears. Although he says nothing, Billy smiles knowingly. Billy tells Gaspar that the Marine never knew he saved Billy's life and thought he died in vain, is happy his death served a purpose. Gaspar dies. Released from his guilt, Billy leaves the cemetery as the newest paladin; the novelette, written by Harlan Ellison, won the 1986 Hugo Award for Best Novelette and the script won the 1987 Writers Guild of America Award for Anthology Episode/Single Program.

The story is available in Ellison's collection Angry Candy. The novelette and script were written at the same time. Although in the original story it is not stated which man is black and, white, Ellison wrote the script with Turman in mind; the tale had a different ending. When the show's producers said that it needed to be changed, Ellison balked, it was only because the producers were writers for whom Ellison had respect that he considered their idea. He decided that they were correct, changed both the script and the novelette. According to Joe Dante, director Gil Cates demanded that his name be taken off this episode over producer Philip DeGuere's "botched" editing of the segment.
