Last week, part one of Nightmare.

Johnny Domino was one of San Francisco's hottest young jazz musicians.

Every night, he turned up the heat at the House of Soul.

But fate and a cosmic event were about to change his life forever.

He looked like the same man, and yet everything was different.

I'm hearing thoughts.

You're hearing thoughts?

Who sent you?

Hold it now.

Who are you? I'm on your side.

What's this all about?

It was about weapons for the future.

I've done them to the wrong people.

You represent two governments and the Colombian cartel.

We invited you here to preview by a weapon system.

Anti-gravity belt.

Holographic display here.

Stealth case.

Bullet resistance suit.

And of course, I have saved the best for last.

We ship these systems out so that they wouldn't fall into the hands of our

country's enemies. If we run into the wrong people, we could legally be shot

for having them in our possession.

Attention, this is the Justice Department. Come out with your hands up.

It's going down. We're going down.

And now part two of Nightmare. It's quite possible that your perceptual

skills have leapt ahead hundreds of generations into the future.

Meaning what?

That your brain has developed the capacity to perceive and process thought

patterns much as a radio receives frequencies of sound.

Uh-huh.

Except what I'm hearing is all bad.

Yes, Johnny, exactly.

You're in tune to the frequency of evil.

Well, Mr. Alvarez, it seems that all you've managed to do is to unite our

enemies against us.

Then it's our turn to deal with this situation.

Gentlemen, we do not need any more public shootouts. Is that clear?

of terminating one's enemies, that would astound you, Mr. Kruger.

Voila!

There will be no need for shooting, gentlemen.

The

tarantula

is not real, but the venom is. When Miss Domino returned to its normal place of

dwelling, a small motion detector will trigger her little friend.

to welcome Mr.

Domino home.

We don't want Mr. Domino dead until he can return the prototype weapons to us.

Am I to assume that this Mr. Domino is in possession of the weapons?

No, the centerpiece of our transaction, the neutron gun, is in our hands.

A few of the other prototypes were diverted by a group of engineers.

If it's money they want.

This group is somewhat more difficult to comprehend.

Senor Iveris, they're patriots. A particularly distasteful breed when it

comes to negotiation.

Even patriots have their price.

And we believe that we know what Mr. Domino's price is.

Nightbird, coming your way live from the house of Saul.

We'll be back to open things up to your personal messages and recorded requests

right after the news.

Jeffrey. Oh, Johnny.

It is so good to have you back.

But we were told it might be another week.

I'm ready to get back to work now.

But I want you to meet someone.

You've been looking for the world's greatest engineer?

Yeah. You're looking at him.

Raleigh Jordan.

Glad to meet you, Raleigh.

Ma'am.

So, is that straight? You know this stuff?

Know what?

I paid my way through college keeping WPIX in New York City on the air.

Welcome aboard, Raleigh.

Thank you.

Jesse. Tell me how can you stop

the sun from shining?

What makes the world go

right?

Nightbird. Oh, Jessica, it's Carla. Um, listen, I really need to speak to

Johnny. Is he there?

No, he's about to go on stage.

Oh, God.

Look, it's an emergency. Please get him, honey, now.

Okay, hold on.

Raleigh?

Hey, Chuck.

Yeah.

Do you think that Carla's on the phone for you?

Carla? Where is she? She's off the stage. Yeah, doesn't sound right to me

either. House.

Yeah. Johnny, it's Carla.

Don't listen to a word that you're telling me.

We won those prototype weapons, Mr. Domino, tonight. Who is this?

An interested party.

Look, if anything happens to her on the bridge, just before dawn, no police, no

walls of federal agents, no helicopters.

No way.

One...

weapons in exchange for one beautiful young woman.

Now listen. If you don't come, you're to come alone.

Calla Day dies.

What happened?

Wait here. What do you mean wait here? Where are you going?

Johnny. Now look, man, we're in this together. Johnny.

Johnny. Now look, the people that I am up against are too powerful for one

person to take on.

Besides, this is my fight. This isn't yours. Now stay out of it or you're

going to get hurt. No.

This has become personal.

And you might not approve what I'm going to have to do.

He's just a musician, that is it.

Who always has the misfortune of being at the wrong place at the wrong time.

And would do so, I believe, one more time.

This is very important in my culture, Miss Day.

I cannot go back to my new associate empty-handed.

If you have any idea where Johnny might hide his weapons, I would be willing to

let you go.

You just threatened to throw me off a bridge, and now you're just going to let

me go? I'm not simply threatening to throw you off the bridge, Miss Day.

I will do it.

Correct. I feel better already.

Out of

time. One last chance to tell me where prototype weapons are hidden.

Oh, go to hell!

I'll meet you there!

Believe I know where prototype weapons have gone.

And the news is not good!

Oh, my God.

You son of a bitch. They threw me from the bridge.

I know. I know.

They were after you.

Thanks to your warning, they didn't get me.

What are you mixed up in?

What do you remember?

I don't know. I mean, these guys grabbed me. They took me up to the bridge, and

then they called you.

And the next thing I remember, I'm falling in the air.

And then everything went dark.

You passed out.

Then how did I get here?

And why aren't I dead?

Or at the very least, wet?

Don't move.

I'll be right back.

Yeah, with some answers, I hope.

What happened?

I found, you know what, missing from my closet along with you-know-who, and I

got very, very worried, John. Very worried, ain't I?

Johnny.

What are you doing with your life? I mean, who are these people?

Yeah. Hey, Johnny, I told you your old man still had connections in the

department.

Not only did I track down that diplomatic plate you ask about, I am now

tailing that very vehicle.

It belongs to the Chinese consulate, no less.

Johnny, what's going on here?

You think you can follow without being seen?

Well, of course I can follow it, but why?

These are dangerous people, Dad. Maybe a little out of practice. Be really

careful.

Well, no need to worry now, son. They're stopping.

They're pulling up to something called Strand Cyber Tech.

Strand Cyber Tech.

Strand, Strand, Strand. Johnny, that's the company I was talking about. That's

the company that the weapons were going to be shipped to before we stopped them.

That's them.

Dad, Dad, you're on to something.

Stay put. We're on our way. You got it.

Excuse me?

I can testify to the fact that the system you wished to sell to us not only

works, they're being used to sabotage these very negotiations.

Well, you're mistaken.

They're only prototypes.

They can't have been put into any type of coherent system.

The system is more than coherent.

But my instructions are, do not risk losing the most potent weapon of all,

the neutron gun, by delaying its demonstrations any longer.

We concur.

As do we.

Then we will prepare a demonstration for tonight.

There is one final demand which we all agree upon.

And what is that?

It is the neutron gun's effect on a live human target, which we must

see.

Hey, Dad. Hey, Johnny.

Raleigh Jordan, the guy I've been telling you about. Oh, hi. Frank.

You guys got here just in time. Looks like you're coming out.

May I?

Those are the guys that grabbed Carla.

Grabbed Carla?

She's up here.

Those are the guys that jumped you on the street, man.

Sure are.

Jumped you in the street?

What are you talking about?

That's her.

That's who?

The woman in the cable car.

Katrina Weston, Senior Vice President of Acquisitions for Strand Cybertech.

How'd you know that?

Well, I've been living this nightmare for a lot longer than you, Johnny.

Katrina's been one of my worst goblins.

Miss Katrina, if we could have a private moment.

I would like to make a very generous offer for exclusive rags to all the

Wendels.

Funny, your two colleagues made the same request.

Yes, but I would top their offer.

No offense, Mr. Chang, but we feel it's much healthier for everyone if the

systems are dispersed, so we can maintain the balance of terror.

I understand.

Well, there they are. They're splitting up.

I'll take the black widow.

You two stay with the Chinese.

Johnny, you want to tell me what this is all about?

I'll fill you in.

Well, to the extent that I'm allowed to.

I don't think so.

How far are you going to tell me what this is all about?

I really can't. Yeah, I thought so.

I took orders for years. Half the time I didn't know what I was doing.

Follow him, go here, run a plate.

It would be just like the old days.

They're not exactly like the old days.

Don't give them an excuse to shoot.

Hello?

Sonny? Yeah, Dad.

We've got a problem here.

There's a government helicopter just put down ahead of us.

Dad?

Dad!

I want him out, and I want him out now.

Mr. Domino, I don't know what you're talking about.

You want to make this personal?

Is that what I'm doing?

I'll give you one last chance to tell me where they are and what you plan to do

with them.

This meeting is over.

Yes, it is.

Incidentally, you do realize you're still a suspect, subject to arrest at

any time, right?

For some reason, I don't think you're worried about those prototypes anymore.

In fact, you're ready to wrap up your business without them.

And you're going to do it tonight.

Don't you forget.

I hear voices.

You put someone on him, and from now until our deal goes down tonight, I

don't want him out of our sight.

You understand?

Yes, sir.

He isn't going anywhere.

It's party time. Half the city's here.

All right.

If it makes any attempt to get away from me, come on.

Excellent. Kruger is on his way down with the buyers to demo the neutron gun

on these guys.

They want to see what it does to a human being.

A human?

What does it do?

Well, my understanding is it melts you like a snow cone in an oven.

It's almost over.

We do the demo, we collect the funds, and we scatter.

I, for one, I'm going to Tahiti. What the?

Who are you? What are you?

Congratulations to all of you. The funds have been verified and are ready for

transfer. That puts all three of you in the endgame.

I believe we are all ready and anxious to get the final demonstration over

with.

Man, where am I?

I'm dead.

And I have gone now.

Look, I know that I have said some bad things about you, Mr. Satan.

Raleigh, Raleigh.

Snap out of it.

Oh, man.

You're drugged.

It's me.

It's you.

Yeah. Who?

Oh, my God.

It can't be.

Happiness for me.

Don't be so sure that's not where we are.

These people are planning to execute you both.

Come on.

Wait a minute.

Is there a plan on killing us? Why are they waiting?

They're going to use you to demonstrate a new gun.

Have you tried on that?

Who are the targets?

These are the two guys that gunned down Secretary Lott and Copeland.

in the 19th century to smuggle illegal Chinese immigrant labor.

We're the Heller, Barton, and Craddock. Never mind Barton and Craddock. Go speak

for the demonstration.

Over here, gentlemen.

Excuse me, gentlemen.

This prototype neutron gun is a scaled-down version of the weapon which

can be used from a satellite.

Still, deadly potential will be obvious.

You'll notice that the neutron beam is impervious to solid barriers.

Very good.

Very nice.

Cutting through it like a veritable knife.

This we gotta

have. We are prepared to transfer funds.

Right away.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Coming? You go ahead.

I want to find out what happened to Hardin and Craddock.

It doesn't look like them to me.

Hardin.

Craddock.

Did we mistake?

You got it.

He's got the neutron gun.

Yeah. Take it with us. We gotta get out of here.

Coming around.

Good.

Have someone finish business.

Help me!

Don't leave me!

I'll go with you. No.

Take my dad to the prowler. It's parked near the entrance of the mansion.

If anyone slipped through, you can follow them.

Is there some way we can stay in touch? Yeah.

I'm gonna take the external communicator with me.

Fasten to the internal system of your man.

So, keep in touch. Yeah.

Good luck.

Thank you, gentlemen, for completing your transactions so promptly. Gracias,

precioso. De nada.

Dankeschön. Gern geschehen.

Yalla.

I'm sorry we couldn't accommodate your request for exclusivity. That's all

right. We managed to work it out ourselves.

Where's one of those guys? It isn't important.

Ah, wait.

There's some... Some big guy with a cape. Was it... Like a red eye? Come on,

now. That's the drugs talking.

Yeah.

Yeah, must be one.

I didn't even remember us coming in this car.

Well, well, well.

So, you're the one I've been hearing so much about.

You certainly package these systems nicely.

Well, Mr. Should I just call you Nightmare?

You know, you have been disrupting my little plan.

You turned my world upside down, and now it's my turn.

Hmm. And I thought you would be a challenge.

Ah, Mr. Bean.

Right on time.

I'm happy to report our transactions are completed.

We did have a visit from our troublesome friend, but I gave him the jewel.

This one's on me.

May I propose the toast?

To the end of Nightman.

Did you pour wine for me?

Relax.

Night Owl, I especially like the cake.

I hope you didn't expect it to frighten me.

On the other hand, I really do like that cake.

Nice to hassle, isn't it?

There's three dead ends at the waterfront.

We better find a phone and call Charlie.

Johnny, cell phone to the council.

Charlie, you've got to trust me on this.

It's the war from Pier 26.

Charlie, believe me, this is a case of national security.

Hey, this big guy, Stan, I'll read you around quick.

It's not to understand. I'm giving him the tip of a lifetime here.

Charlie, you better be there.

Roy, the police can't help him.

Shane's working out of a conflict.

He must have diplomatic immunity.

You can't let him get away with the plants from the new trunk, got it?

He said nothing about letting anybody get away.

Charlie can't make it. It's you and me.

Raleigh, I'm on my way.

I'll deal with Katrina later.

These are dangerous men. Frank, let's let the police get there first. I am the

police. You ever been out and got a two-neutron gun?

What kind of a gun was that again?

What's the thing about a gun?

Chang!

Who is it?

What is it?

The case or your life?

The neutron gun!

Where'd you get it?

I'll try again.

The case or your life?

Very good.

Kill him!

Very bad.

With three, you get soup.

Care to go for it?

But I have many more men!

Let's cut the cake.

It's like your brother.

This is

one weapon broke better

off than that.

Stay where you are. Keep your hands where I can see them.

Is there a problem, officer?

We got information you're trying to smuggle confidential material out of the

country. You've been misinformed, but feel free to search the ship. I advise

you not to say any more until we read you your rights.

It's not necessary. Even if I had committed a crime, which I have not, I

am protected by diplomatic immunity.

My credentials are in my breast pocket.

Great work, Charlie.

You got him. I got nothing, Frank.

He's got diplomatic immunity.

This better not have been another wild booster.

Okay, what about plans for classified weapons? Does he have any CD-ROMs or

compact discs?

Search me if you like.

What the heck is that?

Oh, merely an unfortunate accident.

What do you got, Raleigh?

Looks like the tragic end of the Tin Man.

Can I go now?

Until next time, gentlemen.

Frank, Frank.

Charlie, you can't let this guy walk.

This guy's into so many things, you've got no idea what he's into. Really? Name

him. Well, it's complicated.

I don't know. You tell him.

I think that maybe we should talk about this someplace else. Good idea.

I'll see you back at the bar.

No, Frank.

We're out of here. It's over.

Let's go home.

Let's pack it in. Let's get out of here.

You and Carla both did a great show tonight.

Thanks,

Jeff. Oh, and by the way, did you play Sweet Zone twice?

Never heard of an encore?

Hey,

Chuck. Hey, guys.

Yeah, I was just telling Charlie about some of the strange things that have

been going on around town tonight.

Strange things?

He gets his kicks thinking he can tell me about something going on in my town

that I don't already know about. I can't imagine that.

Carla, left you a message.

Message? Yeah, she called a minute ago. She said that as soon as she gets

cleaned up, she'll meet you at your loft.

Some kind of a payback for everything you've done.

What'd you do?

Ta-da!

Champagne, gentlemen, and it's on the house.

Great, thank you. Hey, the champagne, though?

Candles. I love it.

Give me a snack.

I've got a surprise for you.

And I've got one for you.

Party time.

My last night in town, and I'm not going to let a thing get in between us.

Oh, I'm sorry. I didn't realize you had company.

She's not company.

She's dead.

She's dead?

I think I can explain.

Uh, really, no need.

I mean, look, Johnny, just some relationships obviously are not meant to

work, okay?

They get starstruck, they're unlucky, even unhealthy.

Carla. Yeah?

Maybe you're right.

I am?

Maybe we'll just have to settle for an occasion with your wife.

Yeah. Okay.

This whole thing that we've been involved in has to do with some kind of

a future weapons that you guys are developing out there, right?

Even if that word's real, you know I can't speak about it. I mean, Charlie,

help me out.

Frank, these guys take oaths. If he were to tell you something, he'd go to jail.

Now, you wouldn't want that, would you?

Jail. Yeah, right. I knew you guys would come up with something.

You don't know either.

to...
