The Price of the Wager
5 July 2018
In an elitist men´s club, the arrogant Colonel Archie Taylor is irritated with the talkative fellow member Jamie Tennyson. He proposes a US$ 500,000 wager to Jamie to keep him in silence for one year. Jamie accepts the bet since he likes to indulge his wife and has debts to pay; so he is locked in a class walled room built in the club and all his communication is made in writing. Who will win the wager?

"The Silence" is a dark episode of "The Twilight Zone", with a sharp criticism to gamble. In the end both players lose the prize, one more than the other. My vote is eight.

Title (Brazil): "O Silêncio" ("The Silence")
