I'm assuming you were the one hat asked this same question on another site and was answered. If not, and for others that were curious, it's Episode "Room 2426" of the Twilight Zone series (1985-1989).
Im trying to remember an episode from a (science fiction) type of series that probably aired in the 90's. I know there was (voice over at beginning and end) like some of the shows I mentioned in the title. From what I remember the main character (middle aged white male) was on the run because he was trying to hide a fantastic secret contained in a notebook (i believe he could teleport but not all the time) at the end of the show he is locked in a jail cell and desperately needs to escape to save his secret from coming out (and perhaps used for evil purposes). So he teleports himself outside to escape and I remember him burning pages of a notebook, so his secret could not get out. I remember that the ending sparked a sense of wonder and imagination. I saw it more than once but cannot recall anything else. And this is in color so at the least it would be in the remade versions of the shows listed above. Thanks in advance!
