Hey guys,

I remember this one episode from a series whether its TOL i have no idea.

This is what i remember - There is this guy who has committed a crime and he has a very unique punishment.

Rather than going to jail they put a mark upon his head and this has a huge impact in society. People will not talk to him and he is refused medical attention like he is a leper or something. Here are some images i remember,

- He tries to hide his mark with a hat whilst on a video call but the mark burns through and the nurse on the other end see's what he is.

- Towards the end of the episode he meets a woman like himself who bares the same punishment.

- Anyway who helps him will bare the same punishment i.e. there are a few drones followung him constantly.

This is a very vivid description but this thing always stuck with me...can anyone help?

No, it's not an outer limits. It's a twilight zone. It's called The Invisible Man. The remake of the twilight zone in the 80's.

I remember this episode. It's a haunting and bittersweet episode about judgement,forgiveness and loneliness. I know this episode is availabe on dvd. It's from season 1, episode 16 (I think). At any rate there is plenty of info on the Web about this episode. Wiki for sure has a summary of this one.

Hope this helps.
