A Quality of Mercy
"A Quality of Mercy" is episode 80 of the American television anthology series ''The Twilight Zone'', which originally aired on December 29, 1961. The title is taken from a notable speech in William Shakespeare's ''The Merchant of Venice'', which is quoted in Serling's closing narration at the end of the episode. It was later adapted into the first segment of ''Twilight Zone: The Movie'', although very loosely.
==Plot==
A young gung-ho American in World War II, Second Lieutenant Katell, orders his war-weary soldiers to make a near suicidal attack on a group of sick and wounded Japanese soldiers holed up in a cave. Sgt. Causarano, who knows the men have had enough of war, tries to talk him out of it—the attack will accomplish nothing but pointless deaths on both sides—but Katell pulls rank and stands firm on his orders, intent on proving himself.
Suddenly, Lt. Katell finds himself in Corregidor, three years earlier in the war, and gets a new perspective. As Lt. Yamuri in the Japanese army, he is ordered to attack a group of American soldiers in the cave. In vain, he tries to dissuade the captain from the attack, but the Japanese captain believes the young man is sick with jungle fever or, worse, has lost his nerve. He tells him to straighten up or stay with the wounded.
His mind reeling from what he has just experienced, Katell finds himself back in 1945 as an American soldier, with his men telling him that they've gotten word the A-bomb has been dropped. They have been ordered not to attack the cave and to fall back. Katell seems relieved, in light of his revelation.
