On the next Nightmare, a horrible secret from the distant past.

My own brother.

The ultimate showdown between good and evil. Next Nightmare.

Coming up next.

Are you going to go gently into that good night, Caleb?

Why, no!

Or are you going to rage, rage against the dying of the light?

Going somewhere, Caleb?

Why's he sent you?

We had a deal!

Who told you to make a deal?

Who told you to kill those girls?

Are you the angel of death?

I'm not going to ask again. Who told you to kill those girls?

Wait a minute.

I've heard of you.

You're just a man.

Night man.

I'm the man who's going to send you to the gas chamber, Caleb Callum. No.

I answer to a higher authority.

Terrified woman called an attempted carjacking three-quarters below with

approximately 2,200 hours.

The guy left a bloody handprint on her windshield.

Now, when the patrol checked it out, they found this.

ID says he's Caleb Callum.

Any evidence this man is our serial killer?

Well, the night watchman saw a man matching his description leaving the

murder scene moments after the girl screamed.

He did give Chase, but he lost him downstairs.

Find the knife?

No, but he did find this in his pocket.

Lawyer's card.

What a good lad will do him.

Well, I guess I don't need to ask how he died.

No, that's pretty straightforward.

What isn't are these footprints.

Whoever did this took a couple steps forward and disappeared.

That's not possible.

And when you exclude the possible, whatever remains, however improbable,

must be Nightman's doing.

One more enemy of the people, killed by another.

One question whether this murder was connected with the now infamous Gemini

killings. Police officials refuse to connect any... Hey, hey, hey!

You gotta stop blaming yourself here.

Caleb Callum was a menace. He probably saved a lot of young women's lives. I

saw all the moments in his life that led up to him becoming a killer.

His last image in this world was me.

And then the angel of death, right?

Where do you think she would have taken him, Raleigh?

Johnny, wherever your dad is, I am sure he's in a much better place.

I never knew.

He had this look in his eye.

It was kind of sad.

You know, I think it started when my mother died.

The more I think about him, the more I remember him always being that way.

I never got to ask him about it.

And Keith stole that chance from me.

Hey, hey, hey, hey, take it easy.

What's that?

Let me take a look.

Some of the numbers have been filed off.

It looked like he didn't want anybody to find what this belonged to. Roy.

Do me a favor.

the queen of everlasting virtue. So naturally, you fell let down when

royalties turned bad and hurt you. But I am not the guilty one.

I'm so good to know if you went through it. Can't you see I had no choice? The

devil made me do it.

Honey,

you know what I'm talking about.

Well, I am now...

Who walks the road beyond redemption I wear my prickly hat of thorns But still

I feel compelled to mention That you can do what you must do Cause I'm the one

who really blew it But baby, from my point of view The devil made me do that

As I was cast, the straw was short. I was just the one that drew it. To go to

hell, I wrecked my case. The devil made me do it.

But my moral isn't clear.

And the end was near.

Here's my epitaph.

The devil made me do it.

Well, that was great, guys.

Let's do tonight.

Excuse me, Johnny.

Wondering if I could have a word with you.

Name's Jonah.

I work for Lucy Yarkas.

I'm sure you know he represents some of the brightest talent around.

I'd like to talk to you about adding your name to his roster.

I got a steady gig here. I don't need an agent.

Johnny.

Let me be honest with you.

Just like most humans, you use only about 10% of their brain.

You're only using 10% of your talent.

He'd like to help you exploit your true potential.

You'd be amazed at how far he can take you.

Big agents always lose track of the little guy.

Lucan's not like the rest.

He's a firm believer in the individual.

You make a deal with him, he'll see you through to the finish line.

Johnny.

Got the numbers.

Good.

Sorry. I gotta go.

Nice meeting you.

Come by the office later.

Meet the man.

Then make up your mind.

Who's that?

Mr. Domino.

Mr. Orcus has been expecting you.

Please follow me.

He'll be with you in a moment.

Right.

You like them?

I didn't hear you come in.

No one ever does.

I painted these.

You have a lot of talent.

A lot of free time.

Don't get out much.

But I do know how to spot talent.

Lucian Orcus.

It's nice to finally meet you, Johnny Domino.

Jonas said you were interested in representing me.

Everyone on these walls had talent.

Some used it better than others.

I've seen men with the possibility for greatness fall into oblivion.

I'm just a musician.

Ah, but you're playing the wrong tune.

You should be playing the music of the spheres.

You should be center stage, not some sideshow act.

I like the House of Soul.

But I've never seen you there.

Where did you hear me play?

I'm tapped into this whole thing like you wouldn't believe.

I rely on good men like Jonah.

He has a keen nose for sniffing out the true individual in this sea of humanity.

Take a look at this.

What do you think it is?

Derringer?

Look more closely.

The Derringer that John Wilkes Booth used to fascinate Abraham Lincoln.

Good.

Very good.

Lincoln used to say that the ballot is stronger than the bullet.

Oh, I love irony.

How'd you get your hands on it?

One of the things I've learned over the years is that everything can be

acquired. It's just a matter of price.

Not even a man's soul is beyond bargaining.

Most people would gladly give up that which they don't value for an immediate

gain. Not everyone.

Oh, everyone.

All you have to do is look into a man's heart to discover that shadowy realm

where he holds his most secret desires and weaknesses.

I can give you all the money in the world, but that won't complete you. It

won't fulfill you. I want you to ask yourself this. What do I really want?

What's missing from my life?

Thanks for the offer.

I'm not interested.

What you want is a sense of wholeness, to know who you are and where you came

from. You've always felt that if there was a piece of you missing, what you're

looking for is that missing piece that completes the puzzle. A brother,

perhaps, to keep you company on your journey through life.

I'm sorry, ma'am. There's no 23rd floor.

You're absolutely positive?

Lady, I've worked here for five years, and in all that time, I think I would

have noticed.

All right. Thank you.

It must have been a trick of light. I mean, why would the angel of death need

to take an elevator?

I don't know, but it was her.

Well, what about this Orcus guy? You think you can sign with him?

No.

There's something very strange about him.

What's that?

Well, he's an agent, right?

I didn't get one evil vibe off him.

Now that is strange.

When I did try to pick up something, all I got was the...

Searing pain.

He's definitely hiding something.

We got a map.

A bank. It was first issued at Bay City National, which became Bay City Mutual,

which is now First National Bay City Mutual.

For a safe deposit box.

Lieutenant? That's it, Nance. The Gemini file is officially closed.

No, Lieutenant, I'm afraid it's not.

When did this happen?

About two hours ago, I'd say.

Two hours ago.

Could this be a coffee cat killing?

He never released to the press what he did to their eyes.

The witness confirmed that Callum was the one who ran from the murder scene

two days ago.

Blood on his hand was the murder victim's blood.

But no murder weapon.

Well, this girl was killed with a long-bladed knife just like the others.

Wounds are identical.

Any solid evidence?

A couple drops of blood over here.

I don't know.

Could be his, could be hers.

We'll do the test.

DNA will take a while, but I can have a blood type later today.

Yeah.

Yeah, you do that.

No one's been to this box in years.

You'd be surprised by how many people put their valuables and keepsakes in

here and then just forget about them.

Take your time.

Thanks. Here, you'll need your keys.

Tell him you don't.

napping.

Frank, Dominus, and wife Betty awoke on the morning of the 25th to find the

firstborn of their 10-day-old twin sons missing.

Dominus' child is still missing.

Child with Frank and Betty, Dominus continues to baffle the Bayfield police.

No leave at the time.

Hey, what'd you find?

Brother.

I thought we'd seen the last of this kind of murder scene.

It's impossible.

It's highly improbable.

Nightman again?

No, no, not his style. He's a menace, not a serial killer.

All we've got is a ghost with a big knife.

And I don't believe in ghosts.

There's been another killing.

I know, a college girl.

Did you pick that up?

I still feel it.

He's out there somewhere.

I feel his anger.

It's hate.

You're talking about Caleb Callum. He died on that rooftop with you.

Maybe he's come back for me.

Come back for you? How?

Ever since I saw into Caleb's mind, I've had these voices in my head.

They're not familiar voices, but they're evil.

Okay, well... Maybe your mind is being fooled into thinking that his memories

are your own. Caleb hated his father.

I love mine.

I feel this anger toward him, like he hurt me somehow.

He stole something from me, Raleigh. It became cold, all because of a secret

locked away in some box.

Hey, hey, it's all right. Don't touch me!

I could have a brother out there, and he never told me.

My mother never said a word.

She held it a secret for so long that it killed her.

He probably had her keep her mouth shut.

My dad killed her, Raleigh! He killed her! Raleigh, let it go!

These feelings aren't your own. They're somebody else's.

I'm sorry, Raleigh.

Oh, God.

I don't know what got into me.

Maybe there's some truth in it.

Maybe I have been angry at my father for all these years.

Well, then, this was probably the catharsis you needed.

I still need to know if I have a twin.

Oh, brother!

Keep your company on your journey through.

I have to go see Orcus tonight.

Johnny Domino, welcome to paradise.

What is this?

Early phenozoic era.

I like to take my tea away from all the hustle and bustle of the modern urban

metropolis. This can't be real.

What is reality really?

A hodgepodge of perceptions and preconceptions?

Come, join me.

I came for some answers, not tea.

Everything has a price.

I don't deal with the devil.

I'm not a religious man, Johnny. Try not to confine yourself to childish

conditioning.

Open up your mind and you will see who I truly am. I tried that before.

I am you.

Your people and my people are brothers of the same cause. And

who are your people?

We are called avatars.

Lords of light.

Or angels, if you wish.

I sense darkness all around you.

You're no angel or lord of light.

I chose to leave the light.

Eons ago.

Yeah. Yeah.

Uh-huh.

You sure?

Right.

A, B negative.

Same blood type as Callum. The girl was O.

Same blood type, shoe size, hair color.

Guy's still dead, huh?

Still dead.

We've hit one giant brick wall.

Now what?

Go over it again. Find the missing piece.

No, wait.

I'll go over it again at home.

You go back to his house. See if you can't get anything more out of his

mother. You got it.

Get a warrant.

Observe this body of water.

It appears to be a thing in itself, doesn't it?

It has mass and volume.

It's a pond.

Looks like a pond.

This pond was no more than a hole in the ground before individual drops of water

began to fall one by one.

Forming what you perceive as a pond.

Not just one thing, but a million things coexisting side by side. My people

perceive themselves and all things as being one thing.

One energy.

But you didn't.

I began to preach the rights of the drop over the rights of the pond.

Most of my brothers saw that as subversion, but there were others who

saw the truth of what I was saying.

They were saying one light, we were saying one light, many colors.

And what happened?

War. War of light and sound.

It started with a single note, then another joined.

Soon, there's a chorus of individual voices crying for change, sounding

through the heavens.

And then another chorus challenged the first.

Point, counterpoint.

It was glorious.

The longer the war raged on, the more separate the two forces became.

What was once one became two.

Positive, negative.

Light, anti-light. You mean darkness.

Well, if that's easier for you, yes.

Darkness. And then what happened?

A violent sundering.

Silence.

The Lords of Light won.

You, the new Lords of Darkness, lost.

No!

The war raged on!

But on a different battlefield.

Where are we? Of where? When?

And inside her lie you and Paul Dominus.

We can't wait any longer. My dad.

Can't see us.

No, this is just a slice of life. A four-dimensional film.

I'll give you a moment alone with her.

You don't have to pretend, Frank. I'll be strong. I'm not afraid.

Frank!

Frank!

Think of me as your guardian angel. Jonah.

I'll save my wife. There's a price.

Name it, anything.

The price is the life of your unborn child.

What kind of angel are you?

Within your wife lie two sons.

In order for your wife to live, you must sacrifice one of them.

Two sons?

And if I give up one, my wife will live?

Then I choose my wife.

Frank! It's coming!

You're the cause of my dad's pain.

Your father made his choice.

He paid the price.

I don't know why

you people keep coming back.

Can't you leave a grieving mother alone?

Just doing my job, ma'am.

Ma'am?

So you say your son didn't go out much, and this is where he spent most of his

time.

Yes, this was his room.

That is the guest room.

Right.

The battlefield is in the hearts and minds of mankind.

You see, all minds are corruptible. The trick is knowing which buttons to push.

Take our young friend Caleb Callum, for instance, a perfect example.

You had Jonah influence Caleb. Jonah works in acquisitions. He's very good at

it. You, I think, could be even better. You can already hear.

The music of the dark light resonating throughout the ether. What you choose to

do with this talent is up to you.

Then I choose to silence it.

Mrs. Callum, what's behind you?

Nothing, just a lot of junk.

I think I'd like to take a look, if you don't mind.

Oh, no, no, no, you mustn't. He'd be furious.

Have you read the paper?

The cover story is quite riveting.

This is tomorrow's paper.

Tell me who it is, Orca.

Tell me who's going to try to kill Briony.

You have all the pieces.

Put them together.

we've come to the ancient doorways to infinity.

The only price for admission is action.

You must make a choice, Nightman.

Through the door behind me is a shortcut to Briony, where the killer is at this

very moment, preparing to take her life.

You step through there, you may have a chance to save your friend.

Mind you.

Only a chance.

And that door?

So that door is the ultimate prize.

The missing piece to fill the void you've carried your whole life.

It's all the knowledge you could ever want.

How do I know you're not trying to trick me?

You don't.

I would never desert a friend for all the knowledge in the universe.

I'm not like you.

You're missing out on a great opportunity.

I'll be back for you, Orcus.

Once you go through that door, you can't come back.

I'll find a way.

came to us and said, Jacob, Caleb, if you choose to punish the wicked, then

you have my blessing.

So, we brought justice to the wicked.

And you, you, Brian and Bronco, are the wicked. You must die now.

That wasn't God, Jacob. Just an evil man.

Liar. He has to pay.

I'm the one that killed your twin brother.

Your God lied to you. You killed Caleb?

Yes.

And I understand your pain.

Now let it go. No!

No, you don't understand nothing!

You, you are wicked!

You must be punished!

You okay?

Maybe I'm not a bad guy.

What's happening?

Don't go.

Who are you talking to?

You lied to me.

Now I'm standing in an empty space.

Show yourself.

Whoever you are, here I am.

You're not real. I'm as real as you are.

I'm Paul, your brother. You're an illusion, just like the forest. No, I am

what you really are.

What you long to be.

You're the illusion.

Come.

Unite with me, brother.

And we can make the earth tremble in darkness.

No!

Give in to your desires.

Look around.

The bright day is done.

We are the dark.

I don't want to finish, John.

And let's face it.

Dark will always win. No.

Truth will always win.

Calling something light or dark, good or evil, it's just dressing up as truth

that's always there.

What did I do?

My own brother.

Not your brother.

Paul was just another shadow among shadows.

Orcus saw that void in you and gave you a key to a box of illusions.

And lies.

Why did you help me? Why not?

I'm already damned here for eternity.

Then this is hell.

No. No, it's a prison for Orcus and those of us who chose to follow him.

Why would you follow him?

He wasn't always such a monster.

Being banished from the light for so long has made him that way.

Why don't you escape?

Go back.

There's no escape from this place.

It seems we have a traitor and a trespasser in our midst.

I hope you found what you were looking for, Nightmare. More illusions?

You're a liar and a traitor to humanity. I represent individuality, not humanity.

And for that, my followers and I have been imprisoned here. I don't think so.

No one put you in here.

You've made this place yourself.

You know, I think I like you.

How would you like to stay here permanently?

Survival of the fittest.

You killed her! She chose her fate.

You have chosen yours.

What is this?

The light has returned to me! No.

You have returned to the light.

No!

Your darkness can never again invade me.

The light has grown brighter in our absence.

It is time for us to return home.

Do not forget what you have seen here, because darkness still surrounds our

world.

You. The fight will continue.

We'll meet again on the battlefield, night man!
