is it real or virtual reality i want you
to work with me i'd rather die a lie

i have to know or the terrible truth are
we brothers next like that coming up

next

A dark figure will cross your path.

Now why would you break into this
internet cafe to play a card game?

There's no game, Nightman.

It's tarot.

It tells your future.

You know me? Sure.

You have a future.

We did it, man!

We did it!

Dude, we better buck.

Peace.

This time it ends.

It's Keyes. The computers were mirroring
everything in the background.

Keyes has got cutting-edge technology.

I'm not making the connection with
something as primitive as spiral cards.

He has the ultra-web.

Right, right, which has the power to
connect reality with virtual reality.

Remember the boogeyman? Yeah. Now the
knight of swords.

He wants Nightman dead, and I want him
stopped.

But remember the chosen one, evil's
worst nightmare? Don't sink to Keyes'

level. I'm not going to.

Keyes has something up his sleeve.

We've come up against him three times,
and all three times we've come up short.

If the law can't touch him, I have to go
above the law.

But speaking of the law, Briony already
thinks that Nightman's a vigilante, and

so far we've proved her wrong.

I hear my name.

Hey. Hey.

What brings you here?

I thought I'd catch you for a sec.

Take my mind off my ongoing Nightman
problem.

He broke into an internet cafe last
night.

Security cameras inside show him
trashing the place.

Is there something I should know?

What we were just talking about, Key,
how he doctored video before.

What, you mean that tape that tried to
frame you for being Nightmare?

Well, there was no evidence that Key did
that.

Well, someone did it.

So what's it to you? I mean, why are you
so concerned about Nightmare?

Like you said, someone tried to frame
me. No more showing your driver's

license every time you want to write a
check. No more pulling out your ATM card

instead of your credit card.

No more digging through your purse for
that HMO card you know you had

someplace. With the revolutionary Keys
Key, all your cards are rolled into one.

Life's so simple when you hold the key.

Let someone else keep track of your life
while you just

live it.

For a limited time, buy the beautiful...

tarot cards, or exciting key sports
cards, and get a key for free. This

guy's not going to stop until someone
stops him.

Look, I admit there's potential here for
abuse.

March potential.

But until something actually happens,
there's not much we can do.

And I'll say it again, despite your
fixation on the guy, Keith has never

been indicted, let alone convicted of
any crime.

The way that you're talking makes me
wonder if you might be.

Do I just have to go by the book,
Lieutenant?

Took an oath, John.

So did your father.

Father's dead.

For a second.

Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the
House of Soul. And without any further

ado, we present Domino.

picture made of give him

My name is Maggie.

You obviously have a message from Karen
Keyes. Not I.

Cards are the ones who speak.

Why don't we go to my place?

As you wish.

This is your apartment.

Yeah, it is.

I thought you wanted some privacy.

Not I.

You.

Although, if one assumes that the cards
know all about one, there's no such

thing as privacy.

Is there?

Night, ma'am.

We're quite high.

Yeah, yeah, we are.

Listen, I just want to hear about Keith.

Why not?

We have a seat beneath the universe.

Hold the tarot in your hand and
concentrate on what is concerning you at

this time.

Virtual reality.

You're not real.

The Knight of Swords and the Boogeyman.

Oh, come on, Nightman. You know better
than that.

I'm as real as anything else.

The Page of Cups.

You, of course.

A young man involved in the arts who
practices improvisation in the dark.

Crossed by another page, an equal.

Wands represents the mind and
electronics.

Key.

You're not saying he's superior?

He can do that.

But don't worry.

The past is past.

I don't worry.

The present.

Like you.

Also known as the brothers.

Something that...

What happened?

Come on, Johnny.

The tarot is supposed to raise your
consciousness.

Surely you can read the book.

So you're saying that you saw this whole
thing break off?

Saw it, felt it, lived it.

I was hanging right here by my
fingernails. But there was no storm, so

it must have been some kind of an
illusion.

An illusion that soaked me to the bone.

Weird. And you're sure that the fortune
teller was only virtual reality?

Yeah.

As soon as she set me up, she vanished
like keys.

You still have her cards?

Yeah.

Why?

Keys must have found a way to
intermingle reality with virtual

reality. The fortune teller wasn't real,
but her cards are. The storm obviously

wasn't real, but you got soaked.

Maybe the answer's in the cards.

Here are the cards I got from the kids.

Well, is it safe to have this thing on
when Keys is around?

After what we've been through, I have
built the ultimate firewall around this

thing. It's probably the only computer
Keys can't get to.

I think.

Ken and Bronco.

Briony.

Hey, John.

Sorry I couldn't stay for your next set,
but like I told you, I was only taking a

break. No problem. Listen, Briony, do
you know any experts on tarot cards?

Yeah, hang on a sec. I'll punch up our
consultants list.

We've got experts here on everything
from aardvarks to ziptons.

Here we are.

Jason Lott, 3715 Sutton.

So, what's your problem, John? Didn't
the gypsy at the club give you the

future you wanted?

Thanks. I'll be one.

Hey,

Kelio.

Yes, Lieutenant?

Come in here a minute, will you?

Sure, Lieutenant.

Lieutenant.

Oh, Johnny, check this out.

There are microcircuits sandwiched
between the cardboard layers like a

radio receiver, so each card functions
as part of a network.

Keith.

Thanks for seeing me so late tonight,
Mr. Lott.

That's all right.

I'm a night person.

So am I.

You don't have a computer.

I don't need one.

What I know about the world...

It came from books and cards.

Long time ago.

Good, I like that.

So, you'd like to learn about Taro, Mr.
Domino?

Johnny.

Johnny.

Some people have devoted their lives to
that.

Yeah, I've heard.

Tonight I just want to learn the basics.

All right.

There are 78 cards.

56 of them represent a deck of playing
cards, since playing cards

descended from tarot.

Four suits, ace through ten.

But instead of King, Queen, Jack, we
have King,

Queen.

Prince and princess.

These cards represent people.

Eight through ten represent events.

Those are called the minor arcana.

The lesser mystery.

The other cards are the major arcana.

The greater mysteries.

They represent, shall we say, the
building blocks of

existence, the forces that shape our
destiny

and our reality.

Everything's going to be explained by
them.

Everything.

What about virtual reality?

Maybe virtual.

But it is real.

Reality is reality, Johnny.

That's pretty much my problem.

What does the tower mean?

A sudden awakening.

Humans have the habit of thinking they
understand the world.

But every so often their ideas are
violently shaken.

Evidently, you've seen the tower
tonight.

Tell me about the rest of them.

Raleigh?

this time

Thank you.

track of your life while you just live
it.

Locked out.

Nightmare.

Keeping fit, I see.

Don't you care what Keyes is trying to
do? Kieran Keyes is a great man.

The right vision for America.

And for the world.

Yeah, right.

You think I'm kidding?

You must be brainwashed.

Or blind.

Motherfuckers.

Or Roam Wilbur Wright.

Disney and Paul Dean.

Brothers.

Where are you, Keys?

Show yourself!

I'm right where I should be.

I'm in my domain.

I'm all warm and crazy cozy.

Otherwise known as one vast thing's
reality.

In here and out there. In here, out
there.

And always the twain shall meet.

Welcome back, John, to Hell on the Web,
where I know you're dying to be an

exclusive member.

That's the spot we lost your daddy on,
wasn't it?

Back.

I suppose I can't expect you to cool
down when you're in hell.

Nightman, have you seen my new Kieran
Keyes key advertising group? You'll

never get away with it, Keyes. Too
obvious.

Well, that's the point.

If he had my previous ventures, I'd run
into some enemies.

And these enemies, I'm sure, will go to
the U.S. government and have them

prohibit the keys, Keith. But not my
tarot cards.

Not my sports cards or other
collectibles or merchandise.

That just wouldn't be very nice.

What's the scam?

Oh, I've got so much to tell you,
brother. The scam. Well, the key's key.

What does it do?

It also marks the bearer's movement.

And I...

Should have complete dossier on 91.7% of
humanity soon.

What do you want, Keith?

I want to rule the world.

That's what I want.

And I will.

Because you know, Nightman, I have the
computer power to do it.

I'm gonna know.

What every sad person, wonderful human
being wants at any moment, on any issue,

and I will be able to give it to them.

I'm going to be very, very popular.

All megalomaniacs have the same idea.

That's the problem with me, my man.

Lately, my ideas have run it over it.
Like all the great minds, Julius Caesar,

Alexander the Great. Well, I could go
on, but I'd rather talk about me.

This is my house, my rules, me, me, me.

Why tarot cards?

Why tarot? Look at my get-ups, my man.
This is all because of tarot.

Do you know that in addition to calling
them cards, experts also call them keys?

In addition to calling me keys, you may
call me the magician. The magician.

How about if I saw you in half?

Real shot, Johnny.

Thank you, thank you, thank you for
coming.

What a lovely crowd we have this
evening. You know something, Nightmare?

I can, if you want me to, let the entire
world know what your real name is, you

know. Your real name is Johnny with a J,
Domino.

How about that?

What if I were to do that? I can now.

With a snap of my fingers.

Just a little snap.

A snap of you, a snap of that. He will
never leave me.

You think I care about that?

After you killed my father.

Your father was a hero, John.

He was nothing but a hero, you know.

Love that man.

But I'm here tonight to talk to you
people about Tarot.

That is right, people.

Tarot. It is amazing.

I am telling you. You know, I used to
want to control the world with the ultra

-web. But because of, well, because of
the boogeyman and that lovely, lovely

man, Doug, I know now that I can bring
that world back into the ultra-web.

I know what people are doing and what
people are thinking all the time. And,

you know, I can make people do and think
whatever I want. Really.

Life is so simple when you hold the key,
hold the key, hold the key.

It won't do you any good if you're dead.

Nightman's greatest threat.

Coming to you this holiday season in
stereo on DVD.

Ever since the accident, I've been
amused by what people think, too. You

know, you've lost yourself in this
Nightman stuff, Johnny, because...

You used to be a normal, happy,
long-haired, beautiful sax player.

Then you came to hear this frequency of
evil.

I'd rather not hear it.

As long as I do, I won't turn away from
it. I know.

I understand, Johnny. I do.

You are Abbey Normal.

Billions and millions and billions of
people around this world.

or pretend to be deaf or mad.

If this is the life I've chosen,

then as long as there's evil, I have to
do something about it.

Your fatal flaw, Nightmare, is that you
care for people.

You do.

You really do.

But do any of these people care for you?

Look at these back-looking creatures on
my right. We have

the Prince of Swarm. On my left, we have
the Empress of Fire.

But you've lost those friends, haven't
you?

Just like you've lost yourself.

I don't want to fight you.

There's a guy.

You've hurt them. I'm not going to hurt
them because I may want to use them

later.

What do you want, Keyes?

Me dead?

You could have done it by now.

No, I don't want you dead.

Don't you understand, Nightman, even
now?

See, I've come to realize that you...
You have this... This unique power.

You do. It exudes from you.

I don't want to destroy that power. In
fact, I want you to work with me. Not a

chance. I'd rather die.

Really?

You'd rather die?

What about all these innocents you could
be saving?

If I worked for you, I wouldn't be
saving people.

Well... Yes, you certainly would, except
for those that I wouldn't mind seeing.

Suck.

I don't think I like the health
benefits.

What about the health benefits of your
friends?

Not to think about it.

My offer's on the table.

Till dawn.

If you decide to see it my way, come
back.

And if not...

First engineer, keys technologist.

There's a dog.

Ollie? Briony?

Hi, Nightman.

What's up?

Do we have a deal?

I haven't decided yet.

Stop playing games with me, or I will
stop playing games with you. What else

do you have to offer?

What else do I have to... Your dad.

Your father.

I could bring him back.

For you.

What, like slaves?

Or a zombie?

Like these two?

No.

No, no.

Fully alive, fully aware, fully healthy.

If I go to work for you.

Johnny, your dad worked for me once.

That would be just one more thing that
you two would have in common.

If you could bring him back, you would
have done it by now.

All right.

I am working here.

I am trying my hardest here.

You leave me no choice.

I think the battle lines are being
drawn.

It is you against me, the king of the
world.

So, the interesting thing to me is how
do we make this battle enjoyable?

I know.

Tarot!

I will give you the same powers of
Tarot.

As I behold.

Paint the heat, night man.

It's stupidity.

Well, someone sure has been cramming for
his science.

A little bit of wisdom goes a long way.

Look at the moon.

Balancing on the edge of the cliff.

A little bit of jeopardy.

Careful. Careful.

Not if he keeps his balance.

Like scales of justice.

Justice?

I thought you wanted to kill me.

This is real justice, Keith.

Just because I give you power.

Nightmare. That does not make you the
same as me.

You know.

Because I am king of the world.

King of the world.

It's your own world.

And now you're alone in it. No real
women. No real anything.

What about Allie? Allie?

You keep her at a distance.

So she won't know the real you.

Oh, no.

Professional relationship.

Really? Yes?

Well, perhaps you're right. I mean, I
haven't spent so much time with myself

lately. I haven't had a lot of time left
to play the female card.

What? No, no, no, no, no, no. What are
you talking about?

I can't believe that you're saying that
after all that I have done for you.

Ali, what are you doing here? I mean,
you did not play a card for her.

Not everything goes by your rules,
Keith.

Not even here.

I knew she would follow me to protect
you.

That was my job. But I thought I meant
more to you than that.

I know. I'm sorry.

I'm sorry. I really am sorry because I
really do love my costume and I love the

world.

Now, why would you do that? She's
napping.

It's a little game that we play, okay?

It's called Stoke Opera Theatre.

Lightning theme.

Time to call it a night, man.

Hey, that's not fair.

I had death first.

You'll make all the rules.

I know.

Doesn't make any difference.

You can block my car at all you like.
Doesn't affect me.

No? How about now?

Yeah? Oh, boy. All right, well.

Okay, the opposite, the counter to death
is life, yes?

The Empress of nature.

You don't have that here. Well, I got
all the power in the world, pal. I got

all the power in the world!

It's nothing like returning to a man's
castle, is it?

This is not your castle. You know,
Johnny, it is in a way now. It is and it

isn't, but it is.

This is my father's house.

The man you murdered.

No, there was no murder.

Did you ever think for one second that
your father's death might have been an

accident?

Accident? Uh-huh.

You've traveled through cyberspace.

You know how stressful it can be. This
isn't going to work, Keith.

I brought you here for a very, very
important reason, Johnny.

Please, please hear me out.

What harm is there in you
dispassionately listening to all the

facts surrounding your father's death?

None.

Thank you.

Fact number one.

I gave him a very prestigious job as
head of security of the entire web.

Dad, what do they got you doing here?

Well, the nature of my job is
confidential, Johnny, but unless Mr.

Keyes wants to tell you about it.

Dad, there's something very wrong going
on.

You've got to get out of there.

Johnny, I'm having the time of my life.
I love it.

Joy, I heard it in his voice. You could
see it in his face. You saw it in his

face. Because you fooled him.

Please, please.

You agreed to hear me out, yes? That was
one. Two.

I was under extreme duress when I sent
him back through cyberspace. Remember

that?

Send him back or die.

Don't do that.

Remember that? You were choking me.

I couldn't breathe. All my calculations
were probably wrong when I sent him

through the cyberspace travel.

It's me, Johnny.

Now I know you're bad.

Because you're sure as hell not my
Johnny.

Send him back.

He was under strain.

You could rattle him with pumping.

You think all this dialogue is going to
save you? You know, Johnny, you have

plenty of reasons to want me dead.

But murdering your father is not one of
them.

It was a total accident.

I liked Frank.

I really liked Frank. He was a great
guy. You know something?

He was like a father to me.

Stop! You know what else I have to tell
you? Don't! Crystal Ball told me, and

Crystal Balls don't lie.

Is it possible that you and I are
brothers?

What do you think? Orchid hinted at it.
Remember that? Remember he hinted at

that, didn't he? That was all an
illusion.

No. Now he hinted at us being brothers.
Remember?

The battle against your dark side.

My own brother.

What if your dark side was really a dark
brother? Take us back.

Maybe we should.

Brother.

Open your mind, Johnny.

Open your mind and you will see that I
am telling the truth.

We, you and me, we are parts of the same
whole.

Just like the Bible, good and evil. Cain
and Abel. Cain killed Abel. But Abel

never would be able to kill Cain.

You know, I can defend for you.

If you do this, there will be another.

Stop!

You cannot revert.

The polarity of the cards, Nightman. Now
death is mine again.

The lie wasn't a key. Some of it was,
some of it wasn't.

I don't need cards to deal with you.

Well, then you'll never know the truth,
Nightman. You lose, Keith.

If I lose, so do your friends.

to know.

Are we brothers?

Some other time.

Now.

Whoa.

Where?

Don't worry. We're back.

Nightmare. What the hell?

Where'd he go?

Who? Who? Nightmare.

I didn't see anyone, but then again, I'm
a little spaced.

Maybe you are, too.

Nice outfit, Lieutenant.
