[THUNDERCLAP]

[THUNDERCLAP]

No, no, no. Look, but don'’t touch.

[GRUNTS]

[GLASS SHATTERING]

It'’s a laser. I wouldn'’t touch it.

[SIRENS WAILING]

Sounds like your ride is on the way, boys. Let'’s go.

[CREAKING]

[THEME MUSIC PLAYING]

MAN: Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[HIP-HOP MUSIC PLAYING]

Whoa, whoa, whoa.

[OVERLAPPING CHATTER]

Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah.

[GRUNTING]

Yeah, baby. Anyone else wanna step to us?

Five minutes, and then we'’ll see who'’s got game.

Yeah, that was fresh, son.

What'’s up, Tootsie?

Yo, you want some of this, Na'’il?

No, man, I can'’t be dealing with that juice.

I'’ve got to deal with these posers.

First, I gotta drop a dime on Felicia,

let her know what I'’ve been doing.

Uh! Get here.

[NA'’IL SCREAMING]

Yo, man.

Where'’s Na'il, man? We'’re up.

Oh, he'’s on the phone. I'’ll get him.

[THUNDERCLAP]

[FIRE CRACKLING]

Incinerated.

This reminds me of that literature

on spontaneous combustion, Lieutenant.

Why?

There'’s just no sign of any propellant whatsoever.

No gasoline, alcohol, lighter fluid.

The guy just burned.

I'’m not buying that. Let'’s just... Let'’s just keep looking here.

Wait. Night Man'’s eye.

Could it be his laser beam eye?

No, a laser beam wouldn'’t have the strength to do that.

It would'’ve sliced and diced the guy.

The Night Man doesn'’t kill people, anyway.

What, you'’re an expert on Night Man?

No, I just heard.

Well, I don'’t know what you heard,

but the bottom line is, he'’s a vigilante, and I intend to bring him in.

[THUNDERCLAP]

What'’s this?

It'’s a powder or dust of some sort.

We already sent a sample to the lab for analysis.

Could be the murderer brushed against a pole.

[CELL PHONE RINGING]

Branca.

WOMAN: There'’s been another one.

Let'’s go.

MAN: So why'’s your husband involved...

Hey, get out of here.

Get these press idiots out of here.

Ma'’am, I'm Lieutenant Branca.

I'’m very sorry for your loss.

Thank you.

I understand you saw the killer.

Can you describe the man who did this to your husband?

It wasn'’t a man, it was a woman.

I mean, sort of a woman.

I'’m not sure I understand.

It was... She looked like a mummy.

You mean someone in a costume?

She had jewels, two jewels. One red and one amber.

She shone the amber one on Jim

and his face went blank.

She stared at him for a couple of seconds,

then she shone the red one on him and...

and it just... [SOBBING]

It'’s okay.

It'’s okay, I understand.

Thank you.

Wow. Check this.

It looks like it'’s more sensationalism.

Maybe.

Last night at the museum,

I remember seeing this coffin

and it had a red jewel and an amber jewel.

The thieves were there to steal the jewels.

We must have triggered something.

I'’m gonna go back tonight and check it out.

Okay, sounds like a plan, but what else is bothering you?

That paper.

[CHUCKLES] The Sunis The Sun. It'’s always been like that.

And now that Night Man'’s around,

they'’ve had more to write about.

Last year this town heard rumors about me.

Now it'’s become common knowledge.

And people still don'’t get it.

Well, those who do get it know that you catch criminals.

Yeah? How many people know that?

Briony still doesn'’t know what'’s going on.

So your point is?

My point is, is that I'’m adding to the level of paranoia.

Okay. Okay, I don'’t know, I suppose you could, uh...

Let me see,

paint the suit orange and call yourself Day Man,

walk through Union Square everyday at noon...

Funny. That'’s funny.

[CHUCKLES] I don'’t think there's any way of getting around it.

The more attention you draw to yourself,

the more likely some crackpot is gonna find out who you are.

I can take care of myself.

Fine. But can you take care of other people

if every criminal in Bay City knows where to find you?

No, you'’re safer,

therefore the city is safer if Night Man remains a shadow.

And, lest I remind you, that Night Man is a team, right?

I helped build that suit so please, please, don'’t paint it orange.

And I can do a little of the investigating too.

Like?

Like those kids at the basketball court.

The paper said that they were fairly close to the incineration spot.

Tonight when you go to the museum,

I'’ll go and talk to them, all right?

Yeah.

[WHIRRING]

Don'’t be afraid.

I just came here to ask you some questions.

You, you'’re... Night Man.

You'’re missing a mummy.

Uh... well, um...

I caught the thieves over here last night.

Thank you.

A case was close, and there were jewels on it.

Where'’d the mummy go?

I... I don'’t know.

It'’s Queen Neftalah, you understand.

She was a sorceress.

Neftalah'’s rule was a rule of terror.

She believed that her sorcery

gave her power over the underworld.

And she demanded that people worshiped her like a goddess.

She killed a succession of kings

for their vital energy.

You see, she was still young-looking, beautiful, when she died.

The priests, they were so afraid

that she would return from the underworld,

that they buried her in an unmarked grave,

instead of a ceremonial pyramid.

Hmm.

We were truly lucky to find her grave.

What about the jewels?

Ah, the jewels.

They were her magical weapons.

The amber one was the queen jewel,

and the red one was the king jewel.

We don'’t know what they did.

You don'’t read the papers?No.

No, I, uh...

I live in the past, I'’m afraid.

Then how'’d you know who I am?

We told him...

[GUNS COCKING]

...Night Man.

Lieutenant.

I figured you'’d come to ask about the mummies.

Don'’t let him hurt me.

Oh, he won'’t.

You don'’t hurt innocent people, do you, Night Man?

What do you want, Lieutenant?

You'’re wanted for questioning in a series of incidents in Bay City.

As you can see,

we'’re not taking no for an answer.

Sorry. Gotta go.

Move in. No shooting

Check all levels. Use your ears.

MAN: Lieutenant, up here!

Let'’s go.

[HIP-HOP MUSIC PLAYING]

[INDISTINCT CHATTER]

RALEIGH: Hey, guys.

[CHEERING]

I'’m trying to learn more about the murder that took place here last night.

You Five-0, man?

No, I'’m not from...BOY: Are you a fish act?

I'’m sorry?

Are you a reporter?

No, I'’m not a reporter either.

Yeah? You'’re not from this hood either, man.

So why we gotta talk to you, huh?

Look, I'’m just trying to help, okay?

When a brother gets killed...A brother?

[SCOFFS] Yeah, what do you know about brothers, man?

More than you might think, man.

Yeah, and I think you'’re sham, man.

We got each other'’s backs down here so...Word up.

Just get to steppin'’, man.

[ALL MURMURING]

Now, man. Move your Gucci butt.

Now, sucker.

Move your Gucci butt, man.

All right, if this is what you want.

[INDISTINCT CHATTER]

BOY: All right, all right. I got 500, all right? I got five 500.

"Gucci butt."

Just because I hang out in laboratories instead of on street corners...

[SPEAKING FOREIGN LANGUAGE]

WOMAN: You are the clever servant I had been seeking.

You will be my master builder.

I see you desire a shape more pleasing.

So let it be done.

Come.

We go to seek eternity.

Yes, my queen.

[AUDIENCE APPLAUDING AND CHEERING]

Where is The White Goddess?

I don'’t know what you mean.

There, my queen.

[LOCK CLICKS]

JOHNNY: That'’s not safe.

Singer?

Is this the way you address a queen?

Queen?

More like a thief.

What manner of mortal are you?

You'’re about to find out.

Watch out!

[CRASHING]

[THUDS]

[GRUNTS]

You shall not oppose Queen Neftalah,

cause and ruler of the sacred Nile.

Raleigh?

[GRUNTS]

What have you done to him?

He is my servant.

The hell he is.

I have need of life.

After the abyss of time in which I have kissed the mouth of darkness,

all men shall give me what I need.

And I'’ll give you what you deserve.

When he have emptied in three nights'’ time, I shall rule this world,

adorned in fiery gems like stars which befit the queen of the night,

and ruler of the underworld.

I'’ve had enough of this.

Protect your queen.

[GRUNTS]

We must go, my queen.

[SIRENS BLARING]

Come on, you'’ve got to get up. The police are coming.

Why are you helping me?

You don'’t even know me.

Of course, I do, at least by reputation,

and I saw you battle those thieves tonight.

Come on, let'’s go.

I have something for you.

This is the jewel she was after.

It'’s called The White Goddess.

Will you guard it for me?

You trust me with this?

Of course, I do.

I pride myself on being a good judge of character.

Now, you go out the back,

and I'’ll stop them.

Thanks.

[DOOR CLOSES]

Help!

Hail, Queen Neftalah.

NEFTALAH: Master Builder.

What progress on my machine, the portal to eternity?

The work goes well, Your Highness.

Excellent.

Soon the world will see that all life is connected.

Thus I draw upon the lives of others for my own.

When the ruby ray from the man of the night

struck the queen jewel and king jewel,

then did I awaken.

When the golden ray from the star of Khafra

shines down upon us at the moment of midnight,

then shall my new life extend itself

like the striking of a serpent.

Long live, Queen Neftalah.

The first men I encountered were weak.

Their lives were but a morsel.

But your life shall last three nights,

and fill me for three times thirty.

And your machine will bring me the world entire.

Midnight is upon us.

Raise your eyes and open yourself to the star of Khafra.

I am becoming what I once was,

and you are becoming what you shall be.

Yes, O Queen.

Now,

it was certain that the man of night

knew you in your former life, Master Builder.

Tell me what you know of him.

He was my friend, Johnny Domino.

He lives atop The House of Soul, and I created all his weapons.

Look, can you tell me anything more about the other person

that was there with the mummy?

No, he...

He was her servant or so she said.

How was he dressed?

It was fabulous, really.

Egyptian drag.

It was a nice touch.

And there was no one else there?

No.

And frankly, Lieutenant, I'’m a little more concerned with my gems.

Of course.

Well, thank you, Miss Barr, for your cooperation.

We'’ll keep in touch.

Mmm.

You want to see me?Yeah, come in.

I don'’t know if you heard about the jewel robbery last night.

No.

It was, uh...

well, one of those strange, um...

perpetrators we'’ve had in Bay City recently.

But there was definitely one other person there,

and we now have sketch.

Take a look.

Raleigh?

And we haven'’t had any luck contacting him.

Do you know where he is?

No, he'’s been missing for two days.

Two days?

Why didn'’t you report it or at least tell me?

I kept thinking he'’d turn up.

I'’ll do everything I can to find him.

Oh. From now on, so will we.

[ELECTRONIC BEEPING]

Johnny Domino'’s secrets are as clear to me as my jewels.

He now holds The White Goddess,

but with your knowledge of him,

he can no longer hide within the night.

It is as you say, Great Queen.

And this machine you build for me?

It shall be completed tomorrow as you commanded.

Truly were you the master builder I needed

upon my return to the living.

The sorcery of the dark side has always favored my cause.

And this time tomorrow, the city by the bay

shall know the power of Neftalah,

ruler of the underworld.

And all the world itself will bow before me and my dark legions.

But first, The White Goddess and the man of night shall be mine.

I'’m looking for a friend of mine.

[LAUGHTER]

Yeah?

There'’s no friends of yours in this neighborhood, man.

Sure, there are.

You could be my friends.

[LAUGHS]

I don'’t think so, man.

So you down with Na'’il being burned to death?

The hell I am.

Listen, I'’m on your side.

All right, what?

I'’m trying to find out who killed Na'’il.

And they might have the guy I'’m looking for.

Okay, man. We saw your man.

We couldn'’t do nothing for him, no.

Last time we saw him, he went that way.

That way?

Yeah.Thanks.

Man, why are you talking to that punk

when you wouldn'’t talk to that brother who was here, man?

Sometimes it ain'’t about color, my friend.

It'’s about attitude.

Midnight has come and gone,

but the time of deeper darkness remains for us,

and deeper still for the man of night.

Raleigh, where are you?

[BEEP]

[BEEPING]

Safe journey, O Queen.

[FOOTSTEPS APPROACHING]

Man of night.

You should be asail on the sea of sleep.

I don'’t sleep. Not anymore.

My servant did not tell me this.

That'’s what you get for using hypnotized help.

Give me The White Goddess and I will let you live.

Come and get it.

[SCREAMING]

Say good night.

I heard your distressed call, my queen.

Truly are you the cleverest of all my servants.

Now, we must find The White Goddess.

Allow me, Your Highness.

He will have it with him in his belt.

At last.

The key to the portal.

Come. Tonight we trod the path to eternity.

Long live, Queen Neftalah.

[GROANING]

Raleigh?

[GRUNTS]

[EXHALES] I'’m sorry.

It'’s okay.

I was just looking for Raleigh. Have you seen him?

No.

I'’m getting really worried, Johnny.

I promise you, I'’ll find him.

Thank you.

I'’ll see you later?Okay.

Hail, Queen Neftalah.

Greetings, Master Builder.

The sun departs,

bringing the third and final night of your service to me.

How fares my machine?

It is finished, Great Queen.

You are truly a great wizard.

There are times when I think I would keep you at my side,

but it is not to be.

My life is yours to command, Your Highness.

With the world entire before me,

there will be others to sustain me,

as there have always been.

Neftalah was born and reborn to rule.

RALEIGH: Long live, Queen Neftalah.

No, Master Builder.

"Forever live, Queen Neftalah."

Forever live, Queen Neftalah. Forever live, Queen Neftalah.

Enough.

When my legions return from the abyss,

they will need the life force of this world, even as I did.

This will summon the slaves we'’ll need.

[FOOTSTEPS APPROACHING]

Here. Don'’t say I never bought you anything.Thanks, Lieutenant.

I just had the weirdest call.

Several people entering this abandoned building.

Yeah, so?

Well, I sent two radio cars to investigate,

but nobody'’s reported back.

It'’s like this one big giant roach motel.

People are going in, but nobody'’s coming out.

Where is this?The old Ramsey'’s building on Fifth.

Just a few blocks from here. Let'’s check it out.

Bow before your queen. Hail, Queen Neftalah.

ALL: Hail, Queen Neftalah.

These will suffice to nourish the first of my legions.

Now, Master Builder,

align the machine so the golden light of Khafra may come visit.

Midnight fast approaches.

Then shall you give your final measures onto me.

I live to serve, Your Highness.

Gem of purest ray everlasting,

complete this machine and open the portal to eternity,

making the past even as the present.

It is time, Master Builder.

I see the star, and I obey, Great Queen.

Midnight is upon us.

Open yourself to the star of Khafra.

The portal, it'’s opening.

The gatekeepers are returning from the underworld.

The light!

Man of night!

Defend your queen!

What do you jackals want?

Too late, man of night.

[SCREAMING] No!

[EXPLOSION]

[GRUNTS]

The jewels.

The queen jewel.

Are you forgetting something?

NEFTALAH: The starlight.

The moment has passed into eternity.

I cannot stop the stars.

What...

Are you all right?

I... Yeah. Yeah, yeah. I guess. Just...

What happened? The last thing I remember...

I had a Gucci butt.

That'’ll take some explaining.

Dust to dust.

[COUGHING]

What he hell happened here?

Oh, good, '’cause you know, I was hypnotized.

Weren'’t we all?

Uh, except for Night Man.

Yup. One more reason I'’d like to talk

to Bay City'’s favorite vigilante.

You did it again.

Why do you keep flinching every time I come near you?

I don'’t know, just...

For some reason, you'’re making me really, really nervous.
