What was the name of the Outer Limits episode...

At least I think it was Outer Limits. Could have been TZ, but I don't think so.

Anyway, it's the one where that couple is having money problems and this guy shows up at the door with this little box that has a button on it. He tells them that if they choose to push the button, they will receive a million dollars (or some large sum of money). But also, as a result of their pushing the button, someone will die. Someone they don't know. They end up debating the morality of it and all and they do, if fact, end up pushing the button. The man shows up again at their door with the money, as promised, and he informs them that somebody they don't know has died.
Spoiler:
The man then tells them that he will be taking the box in for reprogramming, because it will now be given to somebody THEY DON'T KNOW


What a great episode. Anybody know what episode it is? What is it called? Is it on the new OL DVD that's coming out?

Thanks.

It's an episode of The New Twilight Zone.

I remember this episode. Wasn't the woman played by Mare Winningham?

Thank you!

I was pretty sure there was no Rod Serling, so that makes sense.

Thanks again.
