Original subtitles

No, no, no, look what don't touch

It waved at me.

I wouldn't touch it.

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

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Then we'll see who's got game. Yeah, that was fresh, son.

What's up, Tootsie?

Yo, you want some of my 40 nails?

Oh, man, I can't be dealing with that, too. How can I deal with these poses?

First, I'm going to drop a dime on Felicia and let her know I'm here.

What?

Oh, stand there.

Where's Neil, man?

Go up.

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

Incinerated.

Reminds me of that literature on spontaneous combustion, Lieutenant.

Why? Well, there's no sign of any propellant whatsoever.

No gasoline, alcohol, lighter fluid.

The guy just burned.

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

Wait. What man's eye?

Could it be his laser beam eye?

Not. A laser beam with enough strength to do that would have sliced and diced

the guy.

A night man doesn't kill people anyway.

What, you're an expert on night men?

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.

What's this?

Powder or dust of some sort.

I've already sent a sample to the lab for analysis.

Could be the murderer brushed against the pole.

Bronco. There's been another one.

Let's go.

So why is your husband involved in this?

Hey!

Get out of here.

Get this thrust idiot out of here.

Ma'am, I'm Lieutenant Bronco.

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, four 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. His face went blank.

She stared at him for a couple of seconds.

Then she shined the red one on him.

Thank you.

Oh, wow.

Check this.

It looks like it's more sensationalism. Maybe.

Last night at the museum, I remember seeing this coffin. It had a red jewel

and an amber jewel.

The thieves were there to steal the jewels.

We must have triggered something. I'm going to go back tonight and check it

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

That paper.

The sun is the sun. It's always been like that. And now that Nightman's

around, they've had more to write about.

Last year, this town heard rumors of 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?

Bryony still doesn't know what's going on.

So your point is... My point 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, call yourself Dayman, and walk through Union Square

every day at noon in an autograph.

That's funny.

Look, I don't think there's any way of getting around it, okay? The more

attention you draw to yourself, the more likely some crackpot is going to 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, and therefore the city is safer if Nightman remains a shadow.

And lest I remind you that Nightman is a teen, 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?

Don't be afraid.

I just came here to answer some questions.

You, you're Nightman.

And you're missing a mummy.

Well, um... I caught the thieves that were here last night.

Thank you.

That case was closed, and there were jewels on it.

Where'd the mummy go?

I... I don't know.

It's Queen Naftala, you understand.

She was a sorceress.

Naftala's rule.

was a rule of terror.

She believed that her sorcery gave her power over the underworld, and she

demanded that people worshipped 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.

We were truly lucky to find her grave.

What about the jewels?

About 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 paper?

No, no. I live in the past, I'm afraid.

Then how'd you know who I am?

We told him.

Nightman? Lieutenant.

Figured you'd come to ask about the mummy.

Don't let him hurt me.

Oh, he won't.

You don't hurt innocent people, do you, Nightman?

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 it. No shooting.

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

Are you 5-0, man?

No, I'm not from... Are you a fishhack?

I'm sorry?

Are you a reporter?

No, I'm not a reporter either.

Yeah? Well, 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?

Yo, what you know about brothers, man?

More than you might think, man.

Yeah, and I think you're shamming.

Yo, we got each other's backs down here, son. Word up.

Get to stepping, man.

Now, man.

Move your Gucci butt.

Now, sucker.

Move your Gucci butt, man.

All right?

That's the way you want it?

Yeah,

bye.

All right, all right. I got five on me. I got five on me.

Poochie, what?

Just pitch us a hangout in the laboratories instead of on street

corners.

You are a clever servant I have been seeking.

You will be my master builder.

I fear you desire a shape more pleasing.

So let it be done.

We go to seek eternity.

Yes, my dear.

We're going to take a rocket to the moon.

We're going to take a rocket to the moon.

Send somebody, baby, but don't get back soon.

When I come down, honey, land it in the middle of the sea.

When I come down, honey, land me in the middle of the sea.

I keep looking for my baby. I know she's watching out for me.

I've got a final streamline.

It really ain't failed for speed.

I've got a final streamline.

It really ain't failed for speed.

Got a rocket to my baby. I give her everything she needs.

Excuse me.

Have you seen Raleigh?

Not since yesterday.

But we got a date after the show.

Something wrong?

No. No, I don't think so.

I'll find it. Hey, I'm glad you guys made up.

Thank you.

Thank you.

I'm gonna take a rocket to the moon

Baby, bye-bye.

Bye.

Baby, bye-bye.

So long.

Yeah, baby, I'm gone.

I don't know what you mean.

There, my queen.

That's not safe.

Binger? 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!

You shall not oppose Queen Neftala, cause and ruler of the Sacred Nine.

Raleigh?

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 is 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!

We must go, my queen.

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.

It's my reputation, and I thought you battled 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?

Do 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.

Hail, Queen Naphtala.

Master Builder, what progress on my machine?

A 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 night struck the queen jewel and king jewel,

then did I awaken.

When the golden ray from the star of Khefra...

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 Naphtala.

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 Kefra.

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 lived 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?

He was her servant, or so she said.

How was he dressed?

He was fabulous, really.

Egyptian drag.

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.

You want to see me?

Yeah, come in.

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

No. It was a... Well, one of those strange, um... Perpetrators

we've had in Bay City recently. But there was definitely one other person

there.

We now have a sketch.

Take a look.

We're on.

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.

From now on, so will we.

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 command it.

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 Neftala,

ruler of the underworld.

And all the world itself will bow before me in my dark legion.

But first, the White Goddess and the Man of Night shall be mine.

Who the hell are you, man?

I'm looking for a friend of mine.

Yeah?

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

Sure there are.

You could be my friends.

I don't think so, man.

So you down with Nail being burned to death?

The hell I am.

Listen, I'm on your side.

I what?

Trying to find out who killed Nail.

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

Okay, man, we saw your man.

We couldn't do nothing for him, though.

Last time we saw him, he went that way.

That way?

Yeah. Thanks.

What 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.

Safe journey, oh queen.

Man of night, you should be a sail 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.

Say goodnight.

I heard your distress 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 gate of the portal.

Come, tonight we trod the path to eternity.

Long live Queen Naphtali.

Raleigh.

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 Neftala.

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 feign would keep you at my side, but it is not to be.

My life is yours to command, Your Highness.

With the world in fire before me, there will be others to sustain me, as there

have always been.

Neftala was born and reborn to rule.

Long live Queen Neftala.

No, Master Builder.

Forever live Queen Naphtala. Forever live Queen Naphtala. Forever live Queen

Naphtala. 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.

Here. Don't say I never bought you one. 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 5th.

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

before your queen. Hail, Queen Nathala. Hail, Queen Nathala.

These will suffice to nourish the first of my legions.

Now, Master Wilder, align the machines so the golden light of Kepra may

encompass it.

Midnight fast approaches.

Then shall you give your final measures unto me.

I live to serve your highness.

Tell most purest ray everlasting.

Complete this machine and open the portal to eternity, making the past even

at the present.

It is time, Master Builder.

I be the star, and I obey, great queen.

Midnight is upon us.

Open yourself to the star of Kepra.

The gatekeepers are returning from the underworld.

Delight!

Man of night!

Defend your queen!

What do you jackals want?

Too late, man of night.

The jewel.

The queen jewel.

Are you forgetting something?

The starlight.

Woman has passed into eternity.

I cannot stop the stars.

Are you all right?

Yeah.

Yeah, yeah, I guess.

What happened?

This is the last thing I'll remember.

I had a Gucci button.

That'll take some explaining.

Dust to dust.

What happened here?

I'm a slave to this gravity.

And every night I hope and pray to live back down to

me. I keep my eyes on the dark.

I track the heavens above my lonely world.

I'm tracking her trajectory.

She's my baby.

My little satellite We met at the

Lunar Hilton On a sea of tranquility

And maybe I was renamed It was back to

back the honeymoon week She was a wonderful girl Hey

guys Hey Brian

Hey, hey, Briony.

Relax, Raleigh. You're off my 10-month wanted list.

Oh, good. You know, I was hypnotized. Weren't we all?

All except for Nightman.

Yep. One more reason I'd like to talk to Bay City's favorite vigilante.

You did it again.

Raleigh, why do you keep flinching every time I come near you? I don't know. Just

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