[THEME MUSIC PLAYING]
[SAXOPHONE PLAYING]
[SAXOPHONE CONTINUES]
Catch me if
you can, Night Man.
[AUDIENCE APPLAUDING]
Thank you, everyone.
Have a good night,
and drive safe.
Tasty licks, Mr. Domino.
The crowd
really loves you.
[CHUCKLES]
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.
Join me for a drink?
Water.
Lucy Devlin. BillBoard Magazine.
JOHNNY:
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, um...
The House of Soul
is gonna have
an anniversary party
tomorrow night.
I could get you
on the list.
We could talk
between sets.
Sounds great.
Any, uh, family
or friends attending?
Family?
Yeah, my dad
and 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.
Is that Jessica Rodgers,
the club owner?
JOHNNY:
Yeah. She'’s given some stars
their start here at the club.
Would you like
to meet her?
I'’d like that.
Okay, I'’ll
be right back.
Hi, Jessie, um,
I want you to
meet someone.
Okay, great.
She was just here.
Maybe you scared her off.
Well, anyway,
here'’s her card.
You rushed me over here
to meet someone
who owns a car wash.
What?
[OMINOUS MUSIC PLAYING]
You look tired,
and I need you at
your best tomorrow.
So why don'’t you go
get some rest. Huh?
[GRUNTS]
[LASER BEAMING]
[GRUNTING]
[GASPS]
[SOULFUL MUSIC PLAYING]
Hey, kid.
What are you doing?
Some kind of cool
demonstration or something?
What are you
talking about?
The Night Man suit
attacked me.
You have
a 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, Johnny.
This was real.
Look. See that mark?
That burn?Yeah, ouch.
Look at this.
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 burn on my arm?
How do you explain that?
Do you want me
to explain it?Yeah.
Sleepwalking.
"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.
Well, it'’s a lot
less ridiculous
than the empty suit
trying to attack you.
Yeah.
Maybe you'’re right.
I'’ve been feeling
kind of out of it.
You had any
nightmares recently?
The last couple days.
You mean to say
that the lightning
screwed up
your sleep center?
So now you sleep,
uh, nirvanic, right?
Like a shark.
Maybe these are like, uh,
nirvanic nightmares.
More visceral.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Maybe I'’ll call
Dr. Walton.
Yeah.
That'’s a good idea.
Yeah.
JOHNNY: The nirvanic nightmares have been getting progressively 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... this woman.
She'’s strange.
She gave me this card.
Do the symbols mean
anything to you?
Possible.
Is it lightning?
[SIGHS] I don'’t know. I...
It just jumps out at me
like something evil.
DR. WALTON:
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 psyche tags.
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?
Tuned 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...
Selene.
[FIRE BLAZING]
MAN: Whoa! Oh, yeah!
[AUDIENCE APPLAUDING]
Ignis fatuus.
That which is
accepted as true,
but is actually false.
[WHIRRING]
[APPLAUDING]
[LOUDER APPLAUDING]
Hey, guys.Hey.
This place is jumping
tonight, huh?
It'’s great.
What'’s the matter, son?
You seem a little down.
Everything okay?
Uh, I don'’t know.
[AUDIENCE APPLAUDING]
CHARLIE: Whoa!
Check her out.
[APPLAUSE]
She can abra
my cadabra.
[CHUCKLES]
JESSICA: Guys...
I want you to meet
The Amazing Selene.
"Amazing" is
an understatement.
Why, thank you.
SELENE:
You have to keep your eyes
on the essentials.
I'’m trying,
but you keep moving
those flowers around.
It'’s for you.
[LAUGHING EVILLY]
SELENE:
It'’s okay.
It won'’t bite.
I'’ll pass.
Here. I'’ll take it
on his behalf.
Thank you.
Have any more tricks?
Oh, many.
The Amazing Selene
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 music portion
of the evening.
Her stage routine
is fabulous.
Son, don'’t you think you
were a little rude to her?
I mean, she is a fellow
performer and all that,
you know.
That was the woman
I met last night,
but she wasn'’t
The Amazing Selene.
She claimed to be Lucy Devlin
from BillBoard Magazine.
What are you talking about?
The woman that was
here last night.
JESSICA:
No, she wasn'’t.
That'’s Selene,
and I hired her weeks ago
when I saw her
at the Magic Club.
Excuse me.
Hey, hey, hey.
Did you guys see that?
The magician with the tricks
and the... the tricks.
What'’s wrong?
For my first illusion,
I'’ll require a brave volunteer
from the audience.
Put your hand down.
Well, I can see we'’ll have
to let my mystic lasso decide.
[LAUGHING][AUDIENCE APPLAUDING]
Yeah, ride '’em, cowboy.
Go, Charlie.
Here he is.
Hello there.
I'’m usually
the one who ropes
people in, lady.
And your name is?
[SIGHS] Charlie.
Charlie Dann.
And we'’ve never
met before?
Unfortunately not.
[LAUGHTER]
Something is 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 person'’s case.
Please, take a seat.
What is she up to?
Lady, do I
gotta do this?
I need your expert advice,
Detective.
[LAUGHS]
What are you...
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.
He'’s quite a character,
our Charlie.
[SCREAMING]
[AUDIENCE APPLAUDING]
[PEOPLE EXCLAIMING]
She'’s evil.
Oh, yeah. I'’d like
to think so.
No, I mean...
dangerously evil.
[YELLING] Whoa!
[EVIL LAUGHTER]
What the...
[LAUGHTER CONTINUES]Hey!
Anybody there?
She'’s not here, man.
Bubba.
Bubba Carson.
What'’s going on here?
Surprised to see me?
You'’re dead, pal.
I saw you executed
five years ago.
[GRUNTS]
I'’m back.
[LAUGHS]
[THEME MUSIC PLAYING]
You'’re as ugly
as I remember ya.
[GRUNTS]
Save your breath.
There'’s no one here.
You'’re gonna need it.
[LAUGHS]
[BOTH GRUNTING]
Detective Dann has
left us for a little while.
But if he'’s a good boy,
I may just bring him back
later in the show.
[AUDIENCE APPLAUDING]
Thanks for inviting me.
Looks like
a lovely party.
Just don'’t count on
enjoying it, Doc.
I think I found
my disruption.
I sense trouble.
What kind of trouble?
I think it'’s Charlie.
He'’s in danger.
[GRUNTING]
Guards!
I got a bit of
a problem here.
[LOUD CLATTER]
Great.
Frank, you gotta
get me out of here.
Sorry, Charlie.
I can'’t do that.
I got a job
to do here.
Gotta go
by the book.
You know,
the way you did,
when they railroaded me
off the force.
If 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 am so sorry, Mr. Dominus.
The tray slipped.
No, it'’s okay, honey.
No, it'’s okay. It's okay.
CHARLIE:
[DISTANTLY] Frank!
Frank!
I gotta go.
What'’s up, man?
The suit is on.What do you mean
the suit is on?
Just keep
your eye on her.
Hello, Johnny.
How'’d you get up here,
Lucy, Selene...
whoever you are.
Do you believe
in magic, Johnny?
Enough of your tricks.
I'’m not impressed.
So far, neither am I.
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"?
[LAUGHING]
[WHIRRING]
[AUDIENCE APPLAUDING]
Charlie'’s friend looks
a little worried.
Well, he'’s going
to go look for him.
[SCREAMING]
[AUDIENCE APPLAUDING]
[SCREAMING]
Betsy?
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?
FRANK:
[ECHOING] Johnny?
[LAUGHING EVILLY]
H-H-How did she make
them disappear?
Are you
all right?
JOHNNY: She was
just in my loft.
Selene? 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.
[PEOPLE EXCLAIMING]
I want you
to stop this show.
Something just happened
with 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 poop!
You'’re jealous.
You just are angry because
she didn'’t make you disappear.
Something really dark
is going on here.
What?
That'’s the problem.
I don'’t know.
Let'’s find Selene.All right.
Why the hell
would she
come down here?
It'’s probably
where she hid
Frank and Charlie.
All the main
lights are out.
Selene...
Let'’s split up.
You go that way.
I'’ll look
over here.
[SCREAMING]
[UPBEAT MUSIC PLAYING]
Yay!
[SIREN WAILING]
[GROANS] Ah!
[SIREN CONTINUES]
All right.
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 admit
you stole this here car?
No, no. It belongs
to a friend of mine.
License
and registration, son.
License.
You make another
fast move like that,
it'’s gonna be your last.
Let me see
what'’s in there.
Slow and easy.
And your registration.
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 lotta
flakes in between.
So, you ain'’t Johnny Domino.
No, sir.
I gotta 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.
I'’ll tell you
what I am gonna do.
I'’m gonna give you
a two minute headstart.
And then I'’m gonna
come after you.
And if you'’re
still in my county
by the time
I catch up to you...
Well...
You don'’t even wanna know
what I'’m gonna do with you.
Uh...
Time'’s a-clicking, son.
I suggest you get
your butt in high gear.
Sir...
Thanks for your
hospitality.
[THRILLING MUSIC PLAYING]
[SIREN WAILING]
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 82 miles an hour
in my county?
I was tryin'’ 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 credit cards.
One of them better
have a $5,000 limit.
Five thousand? No...
No. But...
No buts.
I'’m impounding
this car then.
Sell it at auction,
pay for your fine.
[SIREN WAILING]
Good work, Sheriff.
I see you got
my fugitive.
Pleasure to oblige.
This is
a nightmare.
No, son. Your nightmare
is just beginning.
Trust me.
You know, looks like
it'’s getting a little dark
around here.
I got this sneaky feeling
he'’s gonna try
and make a run for it.
Mm-hmm.
Get out of the car.
Come on, move.
Come on, move.
He said
move, son.
Okay.
[WHIMPERING]
Well, it'’s time for you
to make a run for it,
or die trying.
SHERIFF 1:
What'’s your favorite
number, Sheriff?
Eleven.
That means you got
11 seconds
to disappear, son.
I wouldn'’t stand there
grinning if I was you.
You'’ve 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.
[LASER BEAMING][EXPLOSION]
Start running.
[LAUGHING]
That was great!
Now, Raleigh, what were
you doing with my car?
Well...
You told me to go to check
the part of the basement...
You know...
You should'’ve
asked first.
[STRUGGLING]
[PANTING]
Raleigh...
What is it?
I met the suit.
She'’s gotten to you, too.
No. No,
there was no "she"
in my nightmare.
She'’s behind it.
Come on, we gotta get
everyone out of the club
and put a stop
to her games.
Johnny...Doc.
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
in the club, Doc.
Thank you,
Raleigh.Thanks.
Nobody'’s here.
RALEIGH: What the...
Looks like somebody did
our job for us, huh.
JOHNNY:
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 yourself.
[TSKING]
Take a seat.
Sit down.
Please.
[OMINOUS MUSIC PLAYING]
Where'’s my dad
and Charlie?
Delving into the deepest
recesses of their minds.
Reliving
their darkest hour.
Could Johnny Domino be
reliving his right now?
This game is between us.
Bring them back,
or else...
Is that a threat?
JOHNNY:
Don'’t play games
with me.
You know what I want.
I like
to play games.
Now she
looks familiar.
Who'’s next?
Ah! There'’s someone
you know.
You'’re as ugly
as I remember you.
[GRUNTS]
Save your breath.
There'’s no one here.
You'’re gonna need it.
[LAUGHS]
JOHNNY: This isn'’t real.
For you, maybe.
But for your friends,
it'’s all too real.
If they don'’t escape
their nightmares,
they'’re mine.
Recognize her?
You miss her,
don'’t you, Johnny?
Too bad cancer
had to take her when
you were just a teenager.
You wanna
see her again,
touch the card.
Touch it, Johnny.
Just touch it.
Be careful, Johnny.
SELENE:
She misses you, Johnny.
She wants to see you
all grown up
and so handsome.
Johnny, don'’t listen
to her, man.
RALEIGH:
Johnny, don'’t do it!
[SCREAMING]
[LAUGHING]Where did he go?
To his destiny.
[SCREAMING]
BETSY: I don'’t know
where your priorities
are anymore, Frank.
I got a job to do, Betsy.
All right?
It pays for this house.
For that chair.
Johnny'’s cake.
BETSY: Money does not
buy family, Frank.
Commitment does.Calm down.
Not in front
of Johnny.
Oh, why not?
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.
BETSY:
You should be
a hero to Johnny,
but he hardly
even knows you.
Mom, Dad...
Stop it.
FRANK: Betsy...
I love you guys.
I am trying my best.
I really am!
Frank, if you
don'’t make
some changes,
you'’re gonna 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.
Doc Walton,
it'’s a good thing that
you make house calls.
Looks like our boy'’s in deep
trouble tonight, huh?
We'’re all in
deep trouble tonight.
Mom?
Johnny?
Her powers are beyond
anything I could imagine.
Oh, it'’s you!
Oh, God!
I'’ve missed you.
Oh, God!
I'’ve missed you.
You...
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, as one of
the newest members
of the forces of good,
you are
highly overrated.
Open up to me,
Johnny Domino.
Keep your venom
to yourself.
Her real name is...
Get back![GRUNTS]
I got him.
I got him.
[GROANS]
My feet are... melting.[BUBBLING]
[SCREAMING]
Doc...
We have to get
you away from her.
No, she'’s playing
on our deepest fears.
It'’s between
you two now,
go on, go.
It'’s show time.
[LAUGHS EVILLY]
Fool!
[YELLS]
Take it easy, Doc.
The Tarot card...
Win the battle.
It'’s just a 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.
JOHNNY: Is there room
in this cell for three?
I don'’t know
who you are,
but I know
I don'’t like you.
[YELLING]
[GRUNTING]
Back off!
This pig'’s mine!
Drop it now.
I'’m gonna make
this pig bleed.
[LASER BEAMING]
Ah!
[GROWLS]
[GRUNTING]
[STRAINING]
Take my hand.
All right.
But you gotta know,
I hate Halloween parties.
[SCREAMING]
DR. WALTON: That'’s it!
You got him back!
I need a drink!
That'’s it.
Win the battles.
I am not gonna
cut back my hours
on the force.
I am due
a promotion.
One more vacation,
I'’ve got it.
BETSY: That'’s exactly what
I'’ve been getting at, Frank.
JOHNNY: Hi, Johnny.
BETSY: What is
more important to you,
us or your job?
FRANK: That is
a ridiculous question.
BETSY:
You can'’t even answer it.
Don'’t worry.
♪ Happy birthday to me
♪ Happy birthday To me
♪ Happy birthday to Johnny
♪ Happy birthday to me
I wish for
no more fights,
no more yelling.
JOHNNY: 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.
My hero.
I love you, Johnny.
I love you, Mom.
[GRUNTS]
Come with me.
[GROANS]
Dad.
SELENE:
Congratulations, Johnny.
You'’ve made it back.
Your games are over.
It'’s time
for you to leave.
Sorry,
I like it here.
How can something
so beautiful
be so evil?
Beauty comes
in many forms.
See me
as I truly am.
[THUNDER CRASHING]
Come get me, Night Man.
[LAUGHS EVILLY]
[JOHNNY GRUNTING]
[LAUGHING CONTINUES]
SELENE:
Come and get me, Johnny.
[LAUGHING CONTINUES]
[JOHNNY GROANING IN PAIN]
SELENE: You turned out to be
more formidable and resourceful
than we expected.
But be careful...
we'’ll be watching you.
[SELENE CACKLES][GASPS]
ANNOUNCER: Night Man
will be right back
after these messages.
Dad. Guys...Hey.
Johnny, check out
the magician I hired
for the evening.
JESSICA:
The Amazing Carl.
[AUDIENCE APPLAUDING]
Watch this guy.
He'’s really good.
[APPLAUSE]
He'’s good. Yeah.
Good. Very good.
[AUDIENCE APPLAUDING]
Well, he does mostly
kids'’ parties.
Yeah, yeah, he'’s great.
Look, what I wanna
know is when we'’re
gonna eat the cake.
[APPLAUSE]
So, what are you gonna
open tonight with?
JOHNNY:
Why don'’t
I just show you.
[SAXOPHONE PLAYING]
Lucy Devlin.
BillBoard Magazine.
So I was wondering
when this city'’s
hottest jazz musician
would have time
for an interview.
I don'’t do interviews.
[SAXOPHONE CONTINUES]
[THEME MUSIC PLAYING]
[SAXOPHONE PLAYING]

[OMINOUS MUSIC PLAYING]
You look tired,
and I need you at
your best tomorrow.
So why don'’t you go
get some rest. Huh?
[GRUNTS]
[LASER BEAMING]
[GRUNTING]
[GASPS]
[SOULFUL MUSIC PLAYING]
Hey, kid.
What are you doing?
Some kind of cool
demonstration or something?
What are you
talking about?
The Night Man suit
attacked me.
You have
a 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, Johnny.
This was real.
Look. See that mark?
That burn?Yeah, ouch.
Look at this.
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 burn on my arm?
How do you explain that?
Do you want me
to explain it?Yeah.
Sleepwalking.
"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.
Well, it'’s a lot
less ridiculous
than the empty suit
trying to attack you.
Yeah.
Maybe you'’re right.
I'’ve been feeling
kind of out of it.
You had any
nightmares recently?
The last couple days.
You mean to say
that the lightning
screwed up
your sleep center?
So now you sleep,
uh, nirvanic, right?
Like a shark.
Maybe these are like, uh,
nirvanic nightmares.
More visceral.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Maybe I'’ll call
Dr. Walton.
Yeah.
That'’s a good idea.
Yeah.
JOHNNY: The nirvanic nightmares have been getting progressively 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... this woman.
She'’s strange.
She gave me this card.
Do the symbols mean
anything to you?
Possible.
Is it lightning?
[SIGHS] I don'’t know. I...
It just jumps out at me
like something evil.
DR. WALTON:
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 psyche tags.
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?
Tuned 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...
Selene.
[FIRE BLAZING]
MAN: Whoa! Oh, yeah!
[AUDIENCE APPLAUDING]
Ignis fatuus.
That which is
accepted as true,
but is actually false.
[WHIRRING]
[APPLAUDING]
[LOUDER APPLAUDING]
Hey, guys.Hey.
This place is jumping
tonight, huh?
It'’s great.
What'’s the matter, son?
You seem a little down.
Everything okay?
Uh, I don'’t know.
[AUDIENCE APPLAUDING]
CHARLIE: Whoa!
Check her out.
[APPLAUSE]
She can abra
my cadabra.
[CHUCKLES]
JESSICA: Guys...
I want you to meet
The Amazing Selene.
"Amazing" is
an understatement.
Why, thank you.
SELENE:
You have to keep your eyes
on the essentials.
I'’m trying,
but you keep moving
those flowers around.
It'’s for you.
[LAUGHING EVILLY]
SELENE:
It'’s okay.
It won'’t bite.
I'’ll pass.
Here. I'’ll take it
on his behalf.
Thank you.
Have any more tricks?
Oh, many.
The Amazing Selene
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 music portion
of the evening.
Her stage routine
is fabulous.
Son, don'’t you think you
were a little rude to her?
I mean, she is a fellow
performer and all that,
you know.
That was the woman
I met last night,
but she wasn'’t
The Amazing Selene.
She claimed to be Lucy Devlin
from BillBoard Magazine.
What are you talking about?
The woman that was
here last night.
JESSICA:
No, she wasn'’t.
That'’s Selene,
and I hired her weeks ago
when I saw her
at the Magic Club.
Excuse me.
Hey, hey, hey.
Did you guys see that?
The magician with the tricks
and the... the tricks.
What'’s wrong?
For my first illusion,
I'’ll require a brave volunteer
from the audience.
Put your hand down.
Well, I can see we'’ll have
to let my mystic lasso decide.
[LAUGHING][AUDIENCE APPLAUDING]
Yeah, ride '’em, cowboy.
Go, Charlie.
Here he is.
Hello there.
I'’m usually
the one who ropes
people in, lady.
And your name is?
[SIGHS] Charlie.
Charlie Dann.
And we'’ve never
met before?
Unfortunately not.
[LAUGHTER]
Something is 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 person'’s case.
Please, take a seat.
What is she up to?
Lady, do I
gotta do this?
I need your expert advice,
Detective.
[LAUGHS]
What are you...
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.
He'’s quite a character,
our Charlie.
[SCREAMING]
[AUDIENCE APPLAUDING]
[PEOPLE EXCLAIMING]
She'’s evil.
Oh, yeah. I'’d like
to think so.
No, I mean...
dangerously evil.
[YELLING] Whoa!
[EVIL LAUGHTER]
What the...
[LAUGHTER CONTINUES]Hey!
Anybody there?
She'’s not here, man.
Bubba.
Bubba Carson.
What'’s going on here?
Surprised to see me?
You'’re dead, pal.
I saw you executed
five years ago.
[GRUNTS]
I'’m back.
[LAUGHS]
[THEME MUSIC PLAYING]
You'’re as ugly
as I remember ya.
[GRUNTS]
Save your breath.
There'’s no one here.
You'’re gonna need it.
[LAUGHS]
[BOTH GRUNTING]
Detective Dann has
left us for a little while.
But if he'’s a good boy,
I may just bring him back
later in the show.
[AUDIENCE APPLAUDING]
Thanks for inviting me.
Looks like
a lovely party.
Just don'’t count on
enjoying it, Doc.
I think I found
my disruption.
I sense trouble.
What kind of trouble?
I think it'’s Charlie.
He'’s in danger.
[GRUNTING]
Guards!
I got a bit of
a problem here.
[LOUD CLATTER]
Great.
Frank, you gotta
get me out of here.
Sorry, Charlie.
I can'’t do that.
I got a job
to do here.
Gotta go
by the book.
You know,
the way you did,
when they railroaded me
off the force.
If 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 am so sorry, Mr. Dominus.
The tray slipped.
No, it'’s okay, honey.
No, it'’s okay. It's okay.
CHARLIE:
[DISTANTLY] Frank!
Frank!
I gotta go.
What'’s up, man?
The suit is on.What do you mean
the suit is on?
Just keep
your eye on her.
Hello, Johnny.
How'’d you get up here,
Lucy, Selene...
whoever you are.
Do you believe
in magic, Johnny?
Enough of your tricks.
I'’m not impressed.
So far, neither am I.
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"?
[LAUGHING]
[WHIRRING]
[AUDIENCE APPLAUDING]
Charlie'’s friend looks
a little worried.
Well, he'’s going
to go look for him.
[SCREAMING]
[AUDIENCE APPLAUDING]
[SCREAMING]
Betsy?
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?
FRANK:
[ECHOING] Johnny?
[LAUGHING EVILLY]
H-H-How did she make
them disappear?
Are you
all right?
JOHNNY: She was
just in my loft.
Selene? 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.
[PEOPLE EXCLAIMING]
I want you
to stop this show.
Something just happened
with 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 poop!
You'’re jealous.
You just are angry because
she didn'’t make you disappear.
Something really dark
is going on here.
What?
That'’s the problem.
I don'’t know.
Let'’s find Selene.All right.
Why the hell
would she
come down here?
It'’s probably
where she hid
Frank and Charlie.
All the main
lights are out.
Selene...
Let'’s split up.
You go that way.
I'’ll look
over here.
[SCREAMING]
[UPBEAT MUSIC PLAYING]
Yay!
[SIREN WAILING]
[GROANS] Ah!
[SIREN CONTINUES]
All right.
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 admit
you stole this here car?
No, no. It belongs
to a friend of mine.
License
and registration, son.
License.
You make another
fast move like that,
it'’s gonna be your last.
Let me see
what'’s in there.
Slow and easy.
And your registration.
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 lotta
flakes in between.
So, you ain'’t Johnny Domino.
No, sir.
I gotta 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.
I'’ll tell you
what I am gonna do.
I'’m gonna give you
a two minute headstart.
And then I'’m gonna
come after you.
And if you'’re
still in my county
by the time
I catch up to you...
Well...
You don'’t even wanna know
what I'’m gonna do with you.
Uh...
Time'’s a-clicking, son.
I suggest you get
your butt in high gear.
Sir...
Thanks for your
hospitality.
[THRILLING MUSIC PLAYING]
[SIREN WAILING]
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 82 miles an hour
in my county?
I was tryin'’ 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 credit cards.
One of them better
have a $5,000 limit.
Five thousand? No...
No. But...
No buts.
I'’m impounding
this car then.
Sell it at auction,
pay for your fine.
[SIREN WAILING]
Good work, Sheriff.
I see you got
my fugitive.
Pleasure to oblige.
This is
a nightmare.
No, son. Your nightmare
is just beginning.
Trust me.
You know, looks like
it'’s getting a little dark
around here.
I got this sneaky feeling
he'’s gonna try
and make a run for it.
Mm-hmm.
Get out of the car.
Come on, move.
Come on, move.
He said
move, son.
Okay.
[WHIMPERING]
Well, it'’s time for you
to make a run for it,
or die trying.
SHERIFF 1:
What'’s your favorite
number, Sheriff?
Eleven.
That means you got
11 seconds
to disappear, son.
I wouldn'’t stand there
grinning if I was you.
You'’ve 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.
[LASER BEAMING][EXPLOSION]
Start running.
[LAUGHING]
That was great!
Now, Raleigh, what were
you doing with my car?
Well...
You told me to go to check
the part of the basement...
You know...
You should'’ve
asked first.
[STRUGGLING]
[PANTING]
Raleigh...
What is it?
I met the suit.
She'’s gotten to you, too.
No. No,
there was no "she"
in my nightmare.
She'’s behind it.
Come on, we gotta get
everyone out of the club
and put a stop
to her games.
Johnny...Doc.
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
in the club, Doc.
Thank you,
Raleigh.Thanks.
Nobody'’s here.
RALEIGH: What the...
Looks like somebody did
our job for us, huh.
JOHNNY:
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 yourself.
[TSKING]
Take a seat.
Sit down.
Please.
[OMINOUS MUSIC PLAYING]
Where'’s my dad
and Charlie?
Delving into the deepest
recesses of their minds.
Reliving
their darkest hour.
Could Johnny Domino be
reliving his right now?
This game is between us.
Bring them back,
or else...
Is that a threat?
JOHNNY:
Don'’t play games
with me.
You know what I want.
I like
to play games.
Now she
looks familiar.
Who'’s next?
Ah! There'’s someone
you know.
You'’re as ugly
as I remember you.
[GRUNTS]
Save your breath.
There'’s no one here.
You'’re gonna need it.
[LAUGHS]
JOHNNY: This isn'’t real.
For you, maybe.
But for your friends,
it'’s all too real.
If they don'’t escape
their nightmares,
they'’re mine.
Recognize her?
You miss her,
don'’t you, Johnny?
Too bad cancer
had to take her when
you were just a teenager.
You wanna
see her again,
touch the card.
Touch it, Johnny.
Just touch it.
Be careful, Johnny.
SELENE:
She misses you, Johnny.
She wants to see you
all grown up
and so handsome.
Johnny, don'’t listen
to her, man.
RALEIGH:
Johnny, don'’t do it!
[SCREAMING]
[LAUGHING]Where did he go?
To his destiny.
[SCREAMING]
BETSY: I don'’t know
where your priorities
are anymore, Frank.
I got a job to do, Betsy.
All right?
It pays for this house.
For that chair.
Johnny'’s cake.
BETSY: Money does not
buy family, Frank.
Commitment does.Calm down.
Not in front
of Johnny.
Oh, why not?
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.
BETSY:
You should be
a hero to Johnny,
but he hardly
even knows you.
Mom, Dad...
Stop it.
FRANK: Betsy...
I love you guys.
I am trying my best.
I really am!
Frank, if you
don'’t make
some changes,
you'’re gonna 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.
Doc Walton,
it'’s a good thing that
you make house calls.
Looks like our boy'’s in deep
trouble tonight, huh?
We'’re all in
deep trouble tonight.
Mom?
Johnny?
Her powers are beyond
anything I could imagine.
Oh, it'’s you!
Oh, God!
I'’ve missed you.
Oh, God!
I'’ve missed you.
You...
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, as one of
the newest members
of the forces of good,
you are
highly overrated.
Open up to me,
Johnny Domino.
Keep your venom
to yourself.
Her real name is...
Get back![GRUNTS]
I got him.
I got him.
[GROANS]
My feet are... melting.[BUBBLING]
[SCREAMING]
Doc...
We have to get
you away from her.
No, she'’s playing
on our deepest fears.
It'’s between
you two now,
go on, go.
It'’s show time.
[LAUGHS EVILLY]
Fool!
[YELLS]
Take it easy, Doc.
The Tarot card...
Win the battle.
It'’s just a 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.
JOHNNY: Is there room
in this cell for three?
I don'’t know
who you are,
but I know
I don'’t like you.
[YELLING]
[GRUNTING]
Back off!
This pig'’s mine!
Drop it now.
I'’m gonna make
this pig bleed.
[LASER BEAMING]
Ah!
[GROWLS]
[GRUNTING]
[STRAINING]
Take my hand.
All right.
But you gotta know,
I hate Halloween parties.
[SCREAMING]
DR. WALTON: That'’s it!
You got him back!
I need a drink!
That'’s it.
Win the battles.
I am not gonna
cut back my hours
on the force.
I am due
a promotion.
One more vacation,
I'’ve got it.
BETSY: That'’s exactly what
I'’ve been getting at, Frank.
JOHNNY: Hi, Johnny.
BETSY: What is
more important to you,
us or your job?
FRANK: That is
a ridiculous question.
BETSY:
You can'’t even answer it.
Don'’t worry.

Wait.
I have to go now.
I am very proud
of you, son.
You are a hero.
My hero.
I love you, Johnny.
I love you, Mom.

SELENE:
Congratulations, Johnny.
You'’ve made it back.
Your games are over.
It'’s time
for you to leave.
Sorry,
I like it here.
How can something
so beautiful
be so evil?
Beauty comes
in many forms.
See me
as I truly am.

But be careful...

after these messages.
Dad. Guys...Hey.
Johnny, check out
the magician I hired
for the evening.
JESSICA:
The Amazing Carl.
[AUDIENCE APPLAUDING]
Watch this guy.
He'’s really good.
[APPLAUSE]
He'’s good. Yeah.
Good. Very good.
[AUDIENCE APPLAUDING]
Well, he does mostly
kids'’ parties.
Yeah, yeah, he'’s great.
Look, what I wanna
know is when we'’re
gonna eat the cake.
[APPLAUSE]
So, what are you gonna
open tonight with?
JOHNNY:
Why don'’t
I just show you.
[SAXOPHONE PLAYING]
Lucy Devlin.
BillBoard Magazine.
So I was wondering
when this city'’s
hottest jazz musician
would have time
for an interview.
I don'’t do interviews.
