What happens
Richard Lisa, a traveler who has wandered the world seeking a place without struggle, arrives in the city of Bizerta and talks with a man named Tuckett over dinner about whether such a place can exist. Later, a blind beggar named Zim leads him through a wall in the rain, and Lisa wakes in a bright, empty hall where Zim calls himself the Dean. He is told that to live in the perfect place he must give up doubt, fear and greed. He walks into a valley of smiling people, meets Angela and her brother Lar, and begins to question why nothing in this land requires effort or choice.

Written from the episode itself; it never gives away the ending. Every recording is remastered for the stream: cleaned of rumble, hiss and mains hum (and the old TV whine where we found it), then levelled in two passes to steady broadcast loudness, so one show is never quieter than the next.
