[SAXOPHONE PLAYING]

[SAXOPHONE CONTINUES]

Catch me if you can, Night Man.

[AUDIENCE APPLAUDING]

Thank you, everyone.

Have a good night, and drive safe.

Tasty licks, Mr. Domino.

The crowd really loves you.

[CHUCKLES] Home field advantage.

Do I know you from somewhere?

No, not likely.

But I'’ve certainly heard a lot about you.

You'’re a very interesting man, Johnny Domino.

But I actually think your extracurricular activities

almost transcend your music.

I try to keep busy.

That'’s what I intend to find out.

Join me for a drink?

Water.

Lucy Devlin. BillBoard Magazine.

JOHNNY: BillBoard Magazine.

Nice to meet you, Lucy.Pleasure.

So I was wondering when this city'’s hottest jazz musician

would have time for an interview.

Well, um...

The House of Soul is gonna have

an anniversary party tomorrow night.

I could get you on the list.

We could talk between sets.

Sounds great.

Any, uh, family or friends attending?

Family?

Yeah, my dad and some others.

Perfect. I'’d like to get their perspectives on your career as well.

According to him, it'’s not a career.

Would you like a refill?

Oh, I'’m fine.

Is that Jessica Rodgers, the club owner?

JOHNNY: Yeah. She'’s given some stars their start here at the club.

Would you like to meet her?

I'’d like that.

Okay, I'’ll be right back.

Hi, Jessie, um,

I want you to meet someone.

Okay, great.

She was just here.

Maybe you scared her off.

Well, anyway, here'’s her card.

You rushed me over here to meet someone who owns a car wash.

What?

[OMINOUS MUSIC PLAYING]

You look tired,

and I need you at your best tomorrow.

So why don'’t you go get some rest. Huh?

[GRUNTS]

[LASER BEAMING]

[GRUNTING]

[GASPS]

[SOULFUL MUSIC PLAYING]

Hey, kid.

What are you doing?

Some kind of cool demonstration or something?

What are you talking about?

The Night Man suit attacked me.

You have a remote control, don'’t you?

Calm down, okay.

I helped build the suit. It does not work remotely, okay?

The suit tried to kill me.

It shot a laser at me.

This sounds more like a nightmare, Johnny.

This was real.

Look. See that mark?

That burn?Yeah, ouch.

Look at this.

Look at that.

This is not a dream.

Yeah. It looks more like a cigarette burn, okay?

The suit...

I went to look for the suit, it'’s gone.

The suit'’s gone?Gone.

I can'’t believe this.

I can'’t believe that you would throw the suit

into the corner like this, man.

What about the burn on my arm? How do you explain that?

Do you want me to explain it?Yeah.

Sleepwalking.

"Sleepwalking"?Sleepwalking.

You go to sleep, you put the suit on,

you walk around, you fire the laser off,

you accidentally burn your arm,

then you take the suit off and you throw it in the corner.

Sleepwalking.Come on, Raleigh. That'’s ridiculous.

Well, it'’s a lot less ridiculous

than the empty suit trying to attack you.

Yeah.

Maybe you'’re right.

I'’ve been feeling kind of out of it.

You had any nightmares recently?

The last couple days.

You mean to say that the lightning

screwed up your sleep center?

So now you sleep, uh, nirvanic, right?

Like a shark.

Maybe these are like, uh, nirvanic nightmares.

More visceral.

Yeah. Yeah.

Maybe I'’ll call Dr. Walton.

Yeah.

That'’s a good idea.

Yeah.

JOHNNY: The nirvanic nightmares have been getting progressively worse.

Yes, but last night was the first time

that you actually felt your life threatened.

Did something else unusual happen?

Yeah.

I met this... this woman.

She'’s strange.

She gave me this card.

Do the symbols mean anything to you?

Possible. Is it lightning?

[SIGHS] I don'’t know. I...

It just jumps out at me like something evil.

DR. WALTON: This is interesting.

This is Masonic.

Or it could possibly be Gaelic.

I'’d like to study this.

Did anything else happen that evening?

Really strange stuff.

Flashbacks of myself.

Weird psyche tags.

Things I don'’t understand.

This is a new manifestation.

Do you remember when I equated your power with a radio,

picking up frequencies of sound?

Tuned to the frequency of evil. How could I forget?

Well, something is disrupting that frequency.

It gives me great pleasure to introduce

our first entertainer of this very special evening.

The Amazing...

Selene.

[FIRE BLAZING]

MAN: Whoa! Oh, yeah!

[AUDIENCE APPLAUDING]

Ignis fatuus.

That which is accepted as true,

but is actually false.

[WHIRRING]

[APPLAUDING]

[LOUDER APPLAUDING]

Hey, guys.Hey.

This place is jumping tonight, huh?

It'’s great.

What'’s the matter, son? You seem a little down.

Everything okay?

Uh, I don'’t know.

[AUDIENCE APPLAUDING]

CHARLIE: Whoa! Check her out.

[APPLAUSE]

She can abra my cadabra.

[CHUCKLES]

JESSICA: Guys...

I want you to meet The Amazing Selene.

"Amazing" is an understatement.

Why, thank you.

SELENE: You have to keep your eyes on the essentials.

I'’m trying, but you keep moving those flowers around.

It'’s for you.

[LAUGHING EVILLY]

SELENE: It'’s okay. It won'’t bite.

I'’ll pass.

Here. I'’ll take it on his behalf.

Thank you.

Have any more tricks?

Oh, many.

The Amazing Selene comes armed

with a full assortment of leisure domain.

Well, guys, enjoy the party.

Isn'’t she great?

I hired her to perform before the music portion of the evening.

Her stage routine is fabulous.

Son, don'’t you think you were a little rude to her?

I mean, she is a fellow performer and all that, you know.

That was the woman I met last night,

but she wasn'’t The Amazing Selene.

She claimed to be Lucy Devlin from BillBoard Magazine.

What are you talking about?

The woman that was here last night.

JESSICA: No, she wasn'’t.

That'’s Selene, and I hired her weeks ago

when I saw her at the Magic Club.

Excuse me.

Hey, hey, hey. Did you guys see that?

The magician with the tricks and the... the tricks.

What'’s wrong?

For my first illusion, I'’ll require a brave volunteer

from the audience.

Put your hand down.

Well, I can see we'’ll have to let my mystic lasso decide.

[LAUGHING][AUDIENCE APPLAUDING]

Yeah, ride '’em, cowboy.

Go, Charlie.

Here he is. Hello there.

I'’m usually the one who ropes people in, lady.

And your name is?

[SIGHS] Charlie. Charlie Dann.

And we'’ve never met before?

Unfortunately not.

[LAUGHTER]

Something is wrong.

And what exactly is it that you do, Charlie?

I'’m a police detective.

Perfect.

I'’m going to need to enlist your help

to solve a missing person'’s case.

Please, take a seat.

What is she up to?

Lady, do I gotta do this?

I need your expert advice, Detective.

[LAUGHS]

What are you... What are you talking about?

Raleigh.

She'’s evil.

Any last words before I send you on your mission?

Yeah.

Same thing Marie Antoinette said before she was beheaded.

Make it quick.

He'’s quite a character, our Charlie.

[SCREAMING]

[AUDIENCE APPLAUDING]

[PEOPLE EXCLAIMING]

She'’s evil.

Oh, yeah. I'’d like to think so.

No, I mean...

dangerously evil.

[YELLING] Whoa!

[EVIL LAUGHTER]

What the...

[LAUGHTER CONTINUES]Hey!

Anybody there?

She'’s not here, man.

Bubba.

Bubba Carson.

What'’s going on here?

Surprised to see me?

You'’re dead, pal.

I saw you executed five years ago.

[GRUNTS]

I'’m back.

[LAUGHS]

[THEME MUSIC PLAYING]

You'’re as ugly as I remember ya.

[GRUNTS]

Save your breath.

There'’s no one here. You'’re gonna need it.

[LAUGHS]

[BOTH GRUNTING]

Detective Dann has left us for a little while.

But if he'’s a good boy, I may just bring him back

later in the show.

[AUDIENCE APPLAUDING]

Thanks for inviting me.

Looks like a lovely party.

Just don'’t count on enjoying it, Doc.

I think I found my disruption.

I sense trouble.

What kind of trouble?

I think it'’s Charlie.

He'’s in danger.

[GRUNTING]

Guards!

I got a bit of a problem here.

[LOUD CLATTER]

Great.

Frank, you gotta get me out of here.

Sorry, Charlie. I can'’t do that.

I got a job to do here.

Gotta go by the book.

You know, the way you did,

when they railroaded me off the force.

If this is your idea of a joke, Frank,

I'’m not laughing.

This is no joke, Charlie.

Here, have a cup of water.

Frank!

Frank!

I am so sorry, Mr. Dominus.

The tray slipped.

No, it'’s okay, honey.

No, it'’s okay. It's okay.

CHARLIE: [DISTANTLY] Frank!

Frank!

I gotta go.

What'’s up, man?

The suit is on.What do you mean the suit is on?

Just keep your eye on her.

Hello, Johnny.

How'’d you get up here,

Lucy, Selene...

whoever you are.

Do you believe in magic, Johnny?

Enough of your tricks.

I'’m not impressed.

So far, neither am I.

What do you want?

There'’s white magic and black magic.

Good and evil.

You, Johnny, are a recent addition that have sparked our interest.

We'’re curious.

Who are "we"?

Figure it out by assessing yourself

and then finding the polar opposite.

It really is quite simple.

You know, sometimes, when you unmask your nightmares,

the results are very surprising.

I'’m not into riddles.

Where'’s Charlie?

They'’re in the deepest recesses of their minds.

"They"?

[LAUGHING]

[WHIRRING]

[AUDIENCE APPLAUDING]

Charlie'’s friend looks a little worried.

Well, he'’s going to go look for him.

[SCREAMING]

[AUDIENCE APPLAUDING]

[SCREAMING]

Betsy?

Frank?

We have been waiting for two hours.

Your job is consuming all your time.

I'’m worried about us, Frank.

What'’s going on here?

Dad, you made it!

Johnny?

FRANK: [ECHOING] Johnny?

[LAUGHING EVILLY]

H-H-How did she make them disappear?

Are you all right?

JOHNNY: She was just in my loft.

Selene? How? She'’s been down here the whole time.

Johnny, Raleigh, come check out my cake.

Now I'’m going to have to take a short break

to prepare for my grand finale.

The greatest illusion of all.

[PEOPLE EXCLAIMING]

I want you to stop this show.

Something just happened with my dad and Charlie.

Johnny, it was just an illusion.

They'’re fine.

Besides, this party is jumping.

Jessica, listen to me.

The magician you hired

is a danger to everyone here.

You are being such a party poop!

You'’re jealous.

You just are angry because she didn'’t make you disappear.

Something really dark is going on here.

What?

That'’s the problem. I don'’t know.

Let'’s find Selene.All right.

Why the hell would she come down here?

It'’s probably where she hid Frank and Charlie.

All the main lights are out.

Selene...

Let'’s split up. You go that way.

I'’ll look over here.

[SCREAMING]

[UPBEAT MUSIC PLAYING]

Yay!

[SIREN WAILING]

[GROANS] Ah!

[SIREN CONTINUES]

All right.

Hey, Charlie.

What are you doing out here?

You rich folks, you tickle me.

You and your fancy cars.

Well, actually it'’s not mine.

So what? You admit you stole this here car?

No, no. It belongs to a friend of mine.

License and registration, son.

License.

You make another fast move like that, it'’s gonna be your last.

Let me see what'’s in there.

Slow and easy.

And your registration.

Registration.

Johnny Domino, huh?

Yes, sir.

California, huh?

You know, around here we call California the "Granola State."

Nothing but a bunch of fruits and nuts

and a whole lotta flakes in between.

So, you ain'’t Johnny Domino.

No, sir.

I gotta assume this fine machine here is stolen.

No, sir, it is not stolen.

It belongs to a friend of mine. We can call.

I get off work in 30 minutes.

I ain'’t calling nobody, nowhere, no how.

I'’ll tell you what I am gonna do.

I'’m gonna give you a two minute headstart.

And then I'’m gonna come after you.

And if you'’re still in my county

by the time I catch up to you...

Well...

You don'’t even wanna know what I'’m gonna do with you.

Uh...

Time'’s a-clicking, son.

I suggest you get your butt in high gear.

Sir... Thanks for your hospitality.

[THRILLING MUSIC PLAYING]

[SIREN WAILING]

How did you get ahead of me?

Son, I'’ve been ahead of you since the day you were born.

Who told you you could go 82 miles an hour in my county?

I was tryin'’ to get out of your county.

Well, you'’re still in my county.

Going that speed is equivalent to manslaughter.

You better have a whole pocket full of cash, son.

No, no... But I do have credit cards.

One of them better have a $5,000 limit.

Five thousand? No...

No. But...

No buts.

I'’m impounding this car then.

Sell it at auction, pay for your fine.

[SIREN WAILING]

Good work, Sheriff.

I see you got my fugitive.

Pleasure to oblige.

This is a nightmare.

No, son. Your nightmare is just beginning.

Trust me.

You know, looks like it'’s getting a little dark around here.

I got this sneaky feeling he'’s gonna try and make a run for it.

Mm-hmm.

Get out of the car.

Come on, move.

Come on, move.

He said move, son.

Okay.

[WHIMPERING]

Well, it'’s time for you to make a run for it,

or die trying.

SHERIFF 1: What'’s your favorite number, Sheriff?

Eleven.

That means you got 11 seconds to disappear, son.

I wouldn'’t stand there grinning if I was you.

You'’ve only got seven seconds left now.

Rednecks, Night Man. Night man, Rednecks.

What the... Look, son, I got no beef with you.

Wrong. That was my car you impounded.

And I want it back.

If you want him back,

you better start running.

You have 11 seconds.

Running? Why, when I got my wheels?

You had wheels.

[LASER BEAMING][EXPLOSION]

Start running.

[LAUGHING]

That was great!

Now, Raleigh, what were you doing with my car?

Well...

You told me to go to check the part of the basement...

You know...

You should'’ve asked first.

[STRUGGLING]

[PANTING]

Raleigh...

What is it?

I met the suit.

She'’s gotten to you, too.

No. No, there was no "she" in my nightmare.

She'’s behind it.

Come on, we gotta get everyone out of the club

and put a stop to her games.

Johnny...Doc.

I just got an urgent page from a colleague of mine.

He'’s got some information on those symbols you needed.

Now where can I get a fax machine?

My loft.

Here are the keys.

I'’ll let you know as soon as I get the information from him.

Great.See you in the club, Doc.

Thank you, Raleigh.Thanks.

Nobody'’s here.

RALEIGH: What the... Looks like somebody did our job for us, huh.

JOHNNY: And I know who.

Greetings, gentlemen.

Watch my back.Yeah.

Come on. Don'’t be afraid. Take a seat.

Where is everyone?

Always so worried about other people.

Never enough time for yourself.

[TSKING]

Take a seat.

Sit down.

Please.

[OMINOUS MUSIC PLAYING]

Where'’s my dad and Charlie?

Delving into the deepest recesses of their minds.

Reliving their darkest hour.

Could Johnny Domino be reliving his right now?

This game is between us.

Bring them back, or else...

Is that a threat?

JOHNNY: Don'’t play games with me.

You know what I want.

I like to play games.

Now she looks familiar.

Who'’s next?

Ah! There'’s someone you know.

You'’re as ugly as I remember you.

[GRUNTS]

Save your breath.

There'’s no one here. You'’re gonna need it.

[LAUGHS]

JOHNNY: This isn'’t real.

For you, maybe.

But for your friends, it'’s all too real.

If they don'’t escape their nightmares,

they'’re mine.

Recognize her?

You miss her, don'’t you, Johnny?

Too bad cancer had to take her when you were just a teenager.

You wanna see her again,

touch the card.

Touch it, Johnny.

Just touch it.

Be careful, Johnny.

SELENE: She misses you, Johnny.

She wants to see you all grown up

and so handsome.

Johnny, don'’t listen to her, man.

RALEIGH: Johnny, don'’t do it!

[SCREAMING]

[LAUGHING]Where did he go?

To his destiny.

[SCREAMING]

BETSY: I don'’t know where your priorities are anymore, Frank.

I got a job to do, Betsy.

All right? It pays for this house.

For that chair. Johnny'’s cake.

BETSY: Money does not buy family, Frank.

Commitment does.Calm down.

Not in front of Johnny.

Oh, why not?

He should know that his father doesn'’t care.

Hey, that'’s not true.

You'’re never here on time.

Never here when we need you.

BETSY: You should be a hero to Johnny,

but he hardly even knows you.

Mom, Dad...

Stop it.

FRANK: Betsy...

I love you guys. I am trying my best.

I really am!

Frank, if you don'’t make some changes,

you'’re gonna lose us.

Hey, don'’t you threaten me, Betsy.

Please!

No more screaming.

It'’s my birthday.

It'’s my birthday.

Stop it!

Stop what?

Just stop!

Johnny, don'’t let her evil deceive you.

Concentrate.

Doc Walton, it'’s a good thing that you make house calls.

Looks like our boy'’s in deep trouble tonight, huh?

We'’re all in deep trouble tonight.

Mom?

Johnny?

Her powers are beyond anything I could imagine.

Oh, it'’s you!

Oh, God! I'’ve missed you.

Oh, God! I'’ve missed you.

You...

Johnny, whatever it is,

fight it.

Fight it!

It'’s a battle between good and evil, Johnny.

Your friends are the prize, how bad do you want them?

She'’s a sorceress.

I must say, as one of the newest members of the forces of good,

you are highly overrated.

Open up to me, Johnny Domino.

Keep your venom to yourself.

Her real name is...

Get back![GRUNTS]

I got him. I got him.

[GROANS]

My feet are... melting.[BUBBLING]

[SCREAMING]

Doc...

We have to get you away from her.

No, she'’s playing on our deepest fears.

It'’s between you two now, go on, go.

It'’s show time.

[LAUGHS EVILLY] Fool!

[YELLS]

Take it easy, Doc.

The Tarot card...

Win the battle.

It'’s just a taste.

Of course, the little bit of pain I'’m giving you now

doesn'’t hold a candle to 4,000 volts going through your brain.

JOHNNY: Is there room in this cell for three?

I don'’t know who you are,

but I know I don'’t like you.

[YELLING]

[GRUNTING]

Back off! This pig'’s mine!

Drop it now.

I'’m gonna make this pig bleed.

[LASER BEAMING]

Ah!

[GROWLS]

[GRUNTING]

[STRAINING]

Take my hand.

All right. But you gotta know,

I hate Halloween parties.

[SCREAMING]

DR. WALTON: That'’s it! You got him back!

I need a drink!

That'’s it.

Win the battles.

I am not gonna cut back my hours on the force.

I am due a promotion.

One more vacation, I'’ve got it.

BETSY: That'’s exactly what I'’ve been getting at, Frank.

JOHNNY: Hi, Johnny.

BETSY: What is more important to you, us or your job?

FRANK: That is a ridiculous question.

BETSY: You can'’t even answer it.

Don'’t worry.

♪ Happy birthday to me

I wish for no more fights,

JOHNNY: I just want my family together.

Thank you, sir.

Mom...

Wait.

I have to go now.

I am very proud of you, son.

You are a hero.

My hero.

I love you, Johnny.

I love you, Mom.

[GRUNTS]

Come with me.

[GROANS]

Dad.

SELENE: Congratulations, Johnny. You'’ve made it back.

Your games are over.

It'’s time for you to leave.

Sorry, I like it here.

How can something so beautiful

be so evil?

Beauty comes in many forms.

See me as I truly am.

[THUNDER CRASHING]

Come get me, Night Man.

[LAUGHS EVILLY]

[JOHNNY GRUNTING]

[LAUGHING CONTINUES]

SELENE: Come and get me, Johnny.

[LAUGHING CONTINUES]

[JOHNNY GROANING IN PAIN]

SELENE: You turned out to be more formidable and resourceful than we expected.

But be careful...

we'’ll be watching you.

[SELENE CACKLES][GASPS]

ANNOUNCER: Night Man will be right back after these messages.

Dad. Guys...Hey.

Johnny, check out the magician I hired for the evening.

JESSICA: The Amazing Carl.

[AUDIENCE APPLAUDING]

Watch this guy. He'’s really good.

[APPLAUSE]

He'’s good. Yeah.

Good. Very good.

[AUDIENCE APPLAUDING]

Well, he does mostly kids'’ parties.

Yeah, yeah, he'’s great.

Look, what I wanna know is when we'’re gonna eat the cake.

[APPLAUSE]

So, what are you gonna open tonight with?

JOHNNY: Why don'’t I just show you.

[SAXOPHONE PLAYING]

Lucy Devlin. BillBoard Magazine.

So I was wondering when this city'’s hottest jazz musician

would have time for an interview.

I don'’t do interviews.

[SAXOPHONE CONTINUES]
