Have a good night and drive safe.

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.

Do you want me for a drink?

Water?

Lucy Devlin, Billboard magazine.

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, House of Soul's going to have an anniversary party tomorrow night. I

could get you on the list.

We could talk between sets.

Sounds great.

Any family or friends attending?

Family?

My dad, 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.

Isn't Jessica Rogers the club owner?

Yeah, she's giving some stars their start here at the club.

Would you like to meet her?

I'd like that.

Okay.

Jesse, I want you to eat something.

Maybe you scared her off?

Well, anyway, here's her car.

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

What?

You look tired, and I need you at your best tomorrow, so why don't you go get

some rest, huh?

Oh. Oh.

What are you doing?

Some kind of cool demonstration or something?

What are you talking about?

The Nightman suit attacked me.

You have 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, John. This is real.

Look. See that mark?

That burn? Yeah, ouch.

Look at this. What?

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 bird on my arm? How do you explain that? Do you want me to

explain it? Yeah.

Sleep on it.

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.

It was a lot less ridiculous than the empty suit trying to attack you.

Yeah.

Maybe you're right.

I've been feeling kind of...

You had any nightmares recently?

Last couple days.

And you said that the lightning screwed up your sleep center.

So now you sleep, uh, nirvanically, right? Like, like a shark.

Maybe these are like, uh, nirvanic nightmares.

More visceral.

Yeah. Yeah.

Maybe I'll call Dr. Wong.

The nirvanic nightmare is beginning to get 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 woman.

She's strange.

She gave me this card.

Do the symbols mean anything to you?

Possible, is it likely?

I don't know. It just jumps out at me like something evil.

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 sight gags.

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... Tune

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...

Father, that which is accepted is true, but is actually false.

Hey, guys. Hey, this place is jumping tonight, huh?

It's great.

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

Everything okay?

I don't know.

Whoa. Check her out.

Dab her, Mike. Dab her.

Dive.

I want you to meet the amazing Celine.

Amazing's an understatement.

Why, thank you.

You have to keep your eyes on the essential.

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

It's for you.

It's okay, it won't bite.

I'll pass.

Here. I'll take it on his behalf.

Thank you.

Any more tricks?

Oh, many.

The amazing Celine 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 musical portion of the

evening. Her stage routine is fabulous.

Son, don't you think you're a little rude to her? I mean...

She is a fellow performer and all that, you know? That was a woman I met last

night, but she wasn't the amazing Celine.

She claimed to be Lucy Devlin from Billboard magazine.

What are you talking about?

The woman that was here last night.

No, she wasn't.

That's Celine, and I hired her weeks ago when I saw her at the magic club.

Excuse me.

Hey, did you guys see that? The magician with the tricks and the tricks.

What's wrong?

For my first illusion, I'll require a brave volunteer from the audience.

Put you in.

Well, I can see we'll have to let my misty cluster decide.

What?

Hey, we haven't got one.

Go, Charlie.

Here he is.

Hi there, Beth.

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

And your name is?

Charlie. Charlie Dan.

And we've never met before?

Unfortunately not.

Something's 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 persons

case. Please, take a seat.

What is she up to?

Lady, do I gotta do this? I need your expert advice, detective.

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.

That's quite a character, huh, Charlie?

like to think so.

No, I mean, dangerously evil.

What's going on here?

Surprised to see me.

You're dead, pal.

I saw you executed five years ago.

I'm back.

You're as ugly as I remember you.

There's no one here. You're going to need it.

Detective

Dan

has left us for a little while.

But if he's a good boy, I may just bring him back later in the show.

I think I found my disruption.

I sense trouble.

What kind of trouble?

I think it's Charlie.

He's in danger.

Sorry, Charlie, I can't do that.

I've got a job to do here. I've got to go by the book.

You know, the way you did when they railroaded me off the force.

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'm so sorry, Mr. Dominic. The train slipped.

No, it's nothing.

No, it's okay. It's okay.

I

gotta

go.

Just keep your eye on her.

Hello,

Johnny.

How'd you get up here?

Lucy, Celine, whoever you are.

Do you believe in magic?

Johnny.

Enough of your tricks.

I'm not impressed.

They're funny, Lamar.

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?

Charlie's friend looks a little worried.

Well, he's going to go look for him.

Come on!

That's... 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?

Johnny? Johnny?

Johnny?

How did she make them disappear?

Are you all right?

She was just in my loft.

Celine? 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.

I want you to stop the show.

Something just happened to 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 poof.

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

What? That's the problem. I don't know.

Let's find Selene. All right.

Why the hell would she come down here?

Probably where she hid Frank and Starla.

All the main lights are off.

Selene.

Let's split up. You go that way.

I'm gonna come in here.

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 admitting you stole this here car?

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

License and registration, sir.

Thank you.

You make another fast move like that, it'll be the last.

Let me see what's in there.

Slow and easy.

Your 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 lot of flakes in between.

So, you ain't Johnny Domino?

No, sir.

I got to 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.

But I'll tell you what I am going to do.

I'm going to give you a two-minute head start, and then I'm going to come after

you. And if you're still in my county, By the time I catch up to you, well,

you don't even want to know what I'm going to do with you.

Times are clicking, son. I suggest you get your blood and eye gear.

Yes, sir.

Thanks for your hospitality.

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 any few miles an hour in my county? I was trying 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 a credit card.

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

$5,000?

No, no, but... No, but...

I'm impounding this card.

Selling it off and pay for your plan.

Good work, Sheriff.

See, you got my fugitive.

Pleasure to oblige.

This is a nightmare.

No, son, your nightmare's just beginning.

Trust me.

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

And I got this sneaky feeling he's going to try and make a run for it.

Get out of the car.

Come on, move.

He said move, son.

Well, time for you to make a run for it.

Or die trying.

What's your favorite number, Sheriff?

Eleven. That means you got eleven seconds to disappear, son.

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

Start running.

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

Well, you told me to go to check the other part of the basement.

You know, you should have asked.

There was an old she in my nightmare.

She's behind us.

Come on. We've got to get one out of the club.

Everybody stopped her again.

Johnny. John.

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 at

the club, Doc. Thank you, Ralph. Thanks.

Nobody's here.

Yeah, looks like somebody did her job for us, huh?

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 your stuff.

Where's my dad and Charlie?

Delving into the deepest recesses of their mind.

Reliving their darkest hour.

Could Johnny Domino be reliving his right now?

This game is between us.

Bring them back or out.

Is that a threat?

They'll play games with me.

You know what I want.

I like to play games.

Now, she looks familiar.

Next. That's someone you know.

You're as ugly as I remember you.

Save your breath.

There's no one here. You're going to need this.

This isn't real.

For you, maybe.

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

If they don't escape their nightmares, then why?

Recognize her?

You miss her, don't you, Johnny?

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

You want to see her again?

Touch the car.

Touch it, Johnny.

Just touch it.

Careful, Johnny.

She misses you, Johnny.

She wants to see you all grown up and so handsome.

Johnny, don't listen to her, man.

Johnny, don't do it!

Where'd he go?

anymore, Frank. I got a job to do, Betsy. All right, it pays for this

house, for that chair, Johnny's cave. Money does not buy family, Frank.

Commitment does. Hey, calm down.

Not in front of Johnny.

Oh, why not?

No, 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. You should be a hero

to Johnny, but he hardly even knows you.

Mom, stop it.

I love you guys. I am trying my best. I really am. Mike, if you don't make some

changes, you're going to 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.

Walter, good thing that you make house calls. Looks like our boy's in deep

trouble tonight, huh?

We're all in deep trouble tonight.

Johnny?

The powers are beyond anything I could imagine.

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, it's one of the newest members of the forces of

good. You're highly overrated.

Open up to me, Johnny Domino.

Now,

her real name is... Get back!

I got him. I got him.

Let's beat her.

No. No.

Doc,

we have to get you away from her. No.

She's been on our deepest fears. Yes. Between you two now. Go on. Go.

It's showtime.

Bull.

Take it easy,

Doc.

The tarot card.

Win the battle.

It's the 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.

Is there room in the cell for three?

I don't know who you are, but I know I don't like you.

right but you gotta know i hate halloween party

that's it

you've got him back i

need a drink

Flowers on the fourth. I am due a promotion. One more big case and I've

got it. That's exactly what I've been getting at, Frank.

I got it. What is more important to you, us or your job?

That is a ridiculous question.

You can't even answer it.

Don't worry.

Happy birthday to me.

Happy birthday.

Happy birthday to me.

Happy birthday to Johnny.

Happy birthday to me.

I wish for no more fights, no more yelling.

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.

I love you, Johnny.

Love you, Mom.

Come with me.

Dad.

Congratulations, Johnny. You made it back.

Your games are over.

It's time for you to leave.

Sorry. I like it here.

How can something so beautiful...

He's so evil.

Beauty comes in many forms.

See me as I truly am.

Nightman will be right back after these messages.

Johnny, check out the magician I hired for the evening. The amazing Carl.

He's good.

Yeah. Good.

Very good.

Well, he does mostly kids' parties.

Look, what I want to know is when we're going to eat the cake, huh?

So, what are you going to open tonight, Moe?

Why don't I just tell you?

Lucy Devlin, Billboard magazine.

I was wondering when the city's hottest jazz musician would have time for an

interview.

I don't do interviews.
