NightMan (1997–1999): Season 2, Episode 15 - Dust - full transcript
[THUNDERCLAP]
[THUNDERCLAP]
No, no, no.
Look, but don'’t touch.
[GRUNTS]
[GLASS SHATTERING]
It'’s a laser.
I wouldn'’t touch it.
[SIRENS WAILING]
Sounds like your ride
is on the way, boys.
Let'’s go.
[CREAKING]
[THEME MUSIC PLAYING]
MAN: Yeah, yeah, yeah.
[HIP-HOP MUSIC PLAYING]
Whoa, whoa, whoa.
[OVERLAPPING CHATTER]
Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah.
[GRUNTING]
Yeah, baby. Anyone else
wanna step to us?
Five minutes,
and then we'’ll see
who'’s got game.
Yeah, that was fresh, son.
What'’s up, Tootsie?
Yo, you want
some of this, Na'’il?
No, man, I can'’t be
dealing with that juice.
I'’ve got to deal
with these posers.
First, I gotta drop
a dime on Felicia,
let her know
what I'’ve been doing.
Uh! Get here.
[NA'’IL SCREAMING]
Yo, man.
Where'’s Na'il, man?
We'’re up.
Oh, he'’s on the phone.
I'’ll get him.
[THUNDERCLAP]
[FIRE CRACKLING]
Incinerated.
This reminds me
of that literature
on spontaneous combustion,
Lieutenant.
Why?
There'’s just no sign
of any propellant whatsoever.
No gasoline, alcohol,
lighter fluid.
The guy just burned.
I'’m not buying that.
Let'’s just...
Let'’s just keep looking here.
Wait. Night Man'’s eye.
Could it be his
laser beam eye?
No, a laser beam
wouldn'’t have the strength
to do that.
It would'’ve sliced
and diced the guy.
The Night Man
doesn'’t kill people, anyway.
What, you'’re an expert
on Night Man?
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.
[THUNDERCLAP]
What'’s this?
It'’s a powder or dust
of some sort.
We already sent a sample
to the lab for analysis.
Could be the murderer
brushed against a pole.
[CELL PHONE RINGING]
Branca.
WOMAN: There'’s been
another one.
Let'’s go.
MAN: So why'’s
your husband involved...
Hey, get out of here.
Get these press idiots
out of here.
Ma'’am, I'm Lieutenant Branca.
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,
sort 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
and his face went blank.
She stared at him
for a couple of seconds,
then she shone the red one
on him and...
and it just...
[SOBBING]
It'’s okay.
It'’s okay, I understand.
Thank you.
Wow. Check this.
It looks like
it'’s more sensationalism.
Maybe.
Last night
at the museum,
I remember
seeing this coffin
and it had a red jewel
and an amber jewel.
The thieves were there
to steal the jewels.
We must have
triggered something.
I'’m gonna go back tonight
and check it out.
Okay, sounds like a plan,
but what else is bothering you?
That paper.
[CHUCKLES] The Sunis The Sun.
It'’s always been like that.
And now that
Night Man'’s around,
they'’ve had more
to write about.
Last year this town
heard rumors about 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?
Briony still doesn'’t know
what'’s going on.
So your point is?
My point is,
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
and call yourself Day Man,
walk through Union Square
everyday at noon...
Funny. That'’s funny.
[CHUCKLES]
I don'’t think there's any way
of getting around it.
The more attention
you draw to yourself,
the more likely some crackpot
is gonna 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,
therefore the city is safer
if Night Man remains a shadow.
And, lest I remind you,
that Night Man is a team, 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?
Yeah.
[WHIRRING]
Don'’t be afraid.
I just came here
to ask you some questions.
You, you'’re... Night Man.
You'’re missing a mummy.
Uh... well, um...
I caught the thieves
over here last night.
Thank you.
A case was close,
and there were
jewels on it.
Where'’d the mummy go?
I... I don'’t know.
It'’s Queen Neftalah,
you understand.
She was a sorceress.
Neftalah'’s rule
was a rule of terror.
She believed
that her sorcery
gave her power
over the underworld.
And she demanded that
people worshiped 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.
Hmm.
We were truly lucky
to find her grave.
What about the jewels?
Ah, 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 papers?No.
No, I, uh...
I live in the past,
I'’m afraid.
Then how'’d you know
who I am?
We told him...
[GUNS COCKING]
...Night Man.
Lieutenant.
I figured you'’d come
to ask about the mummies.
Don'’t let him hurt me.
Oh, he won'’t.
You don'’t hurt
innocent people,
do you, Night Man?
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 in. No shooting
Check all levels.
Use your ears.
MAN: Lieutenant, up here!
Let'’s go.
[HIP-HOP MUSIC PLAYING]
[INDISTINCT CHATTER]
RALEIGH: Hey, guys.
[CHEERING]
I'’m trying to learn more
about the murder that
took place here last night.
You Five-0, man?
No, I'’m not from...BOY: Are you a fish act?
I'’m sorry?
Are you a reporter?
No, I'’m not
a reporter either.
Yeah? 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?
[SCOFFS] Yeah,
what do you know
about brothers, man?
More than
you might think, man.
Yeah, and I think
you'’re sham, man.
We got each other'’s
backs down here so...Word up.
Just get to steppin'’, man.
[ALL MURMURING]
Now, man.
Move your Gucci butt.
Now, sucker.
Move your
Gucci butt, man.
All right, if this
is what you want.
[INDISTINCT CHATTER]
BOY: All right, all right.
I got 500, all right?
I got five 500.
"Gucci butt."
Just because
I hang out in laboratories
instead of on street corners...
[SPEAKING FOREIGN LANGUAGE]
WOMAN:
You are the clever servant
I had been seeking.
You will be
my master builder.
I see you desire a shape more pleasing.
So let it be done.
Come.
We go to seek eternity.
Yes, my queen.

[AUDIENCE APPLAUDING
AND CHEERING]
Where is The White Goddess?
I don'’t know
what you mean.
There, my queen.
[LOCK CLICKS]
JOHNNY: That'’s not safe.
Singer?
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!
[CRASHING]
[THUDS]
[GRUNTS]
You shall not oppose
Queen Neftalah,
cause and ruler
of the sacred Nile.
Raleigh?
[GRUNTS]
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 have 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.
[GRUNTS]
We must go, my queen.
[SIRENS BLARING]
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,
at least by reputation,
and I saw you battle
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?
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.
Thanks.
[DOOR CLOSES]
Help!
Hail, Queen Neftalah.
NEFTALAH: Master Builder.
What progress on my machine,
the 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 the night
struck the queen jewel
and king jewel,
then did I awaken.
When the golden ray
from the star of Khafra
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 Neftalah.
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 Khafra.
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 lives 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?
No, he...
He was her servant
or so she said.
How was he dressed?
It was fabulous, really.
Egyptian drag.
It was a 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.
Mmm.
You want to see me?Yeah, come in.
I don'’t know if you heard
about the jewel robbery
last night.
No.
It was, uh...
well, one of those
strange, um...
perpetrators we'’ve had
in Bay City recently.
But there was definitely
one other person there,
and we now have sketch.
Take a look.
Raleigh?
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.
Oh. From now on,
so will we.
[ELECTRONIC BEEPING]
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 commanded.
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 Neftalah,
ruler of the underworld.
And all the world itself
will bow before me
and my dark legions.
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.
[LAUGHTER]
Yeah?
There'’s no friends of yours
in this neighborhood, man.
Sure, there are.
You could be my friends.
[LAUGHS]
I don'’t think so, man.
So you down with Na'’il
being burned to death?
The hell I am.
Listen, I'’m on your side.
All right, what?
I'’m trying to find out
who killed Na'’il.
And they might have
the guy I'’m looking for.
Okay, man.
We saw your man.
We couldn'’t do nothing
for him, no.
Last time we saw him,
he went that way.
That way?
Yeah.Thanks.
Man, why 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.
Raleigh, where are you?
[BEEP]
[BEEPING]
Safe journey, O Queen.
[FOOTSTEPS APPROACHING]
Man of night.
You should be asail
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.
[SCREAMING]
Say good night.
I heard your
distressed 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 key to the portal.
Come. Tonight we trod
the path to eternity.
Long live,
Queen Neftalah.
[GROANING]
Raleigh?
[GRUNTS]
[EXHALES] 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 Neftalah.
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 think
I would keep you at my side,
but it is not to be.
My life is yours
to command, Your Highness.
With the world entire
before me,
there will be others
to sustain me,
as there have always been.
Neftalah was born
and reborn to rule.
RALEIGH: Long live,
Queen Neftalah.
No, Master Builder.
"Forever live,
Queen Neftalah."
Forever live, Queen Neftalah.
Forever live, Queen Neftalah.
Enough.
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.
[FOOTSTEPS APPROACHING]
Here. Don'’t say I never
bought you anything.Thanks, 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 Fifth.
Just a few blocks from here.
Let'’s check it out.
Bow before your queen.
Hail, Queen Neftalah.
ALL: Hail, Queen Neftalah.
These will suffice
to nourish the first
of my legions.
Now, Master Builder,
align the machine
so the golden light of Khafra
may come visit.
Midnight fast approaches.
Then shall you give
your final measures
onto me.
I live to serve,
Your Highness.
Gem of purest ray
everlasting,
complete this machine
and open the portal
to eternity,
making the past
even as the present.
It is time, Master Builder.
I see the star,
and I obey, Great Queen.
Midnight is upon us.
Open yourself
to the star of Khafra.
The portal, it'’s opening.
The gatekeepers are returning
from the underworld.
The light!
Man of night!
Defend your queen!
What do you jackals want?
Too late, man of night.
[SCREAMING] No!
[EXPLOSION]
[GRUNTS]
The jewels.
The queen jewel.
Are you forgetting
something?
NEFTALAH: The starlight.
The moment has passed
into eternity.
I cannot stop the stars.
What...
Are you all right?
I... Yeah. Yeah, yeah.
I guess. Just...
What happened?
The last thing
I remember...
I had a Gucci butt.
That'’ll take
some explaining.
Dust to dust.
[COUGHING]
What he hell
happened here?

Relax, Raleigh,
you'’re off my
ten most wanted list.
Oh, good, '’cause you know,
I was hypnotized.
Weren'’t we all?
Uh, except for Night Man.
Yup. One more reason
I'’d like to talk
to Bay City'’s
favorite vigilante.
You did it again.
Why do you keep flinching
every time I come near you?
I don'’t know, just...
For some reason,
you'’re making me
really, really nervous.
[THEME MUSIC PLAYING]
[THUNDERCLAP]
No, no, no.
Look, but don'’t touch.
[GRUNTS]
[GLASS SHATTERING]
It'’s a laser.
I wouldn'’t touch it.
[SIRENS WAILING]
Sounds like your ride

[OVERLAPPING CHATTER]
Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah.
[GRUNTING]
Yeah, baby. Anyone else
wanna step to us?
Five minutes,
and then we'’ll see
who'’s got game.
Yeah, that was fresh, son.
What'’s up, Tootsie?
Yo, you want
some of this, Na'’il?
No, man, I can'’t be
dealing with that juice.
I'’ve got to deal
with these posers.
First, I gotta drop
a dime on Felicia,
let her know
what I'’ve been doing.
Uh! Get here.
[NA'’IL SCREAMING]
Yo, man.
Where'’s Na'il, man?
We'’re up.
Oh, he'’s on the phone.

[THUNDERCLAP]
What'’s this?
It'’s a powder or dust
of some sort.
We already sent a sample
to the lab for analysis.
Could be the murderer
brushed against a pole.
[CELL PHONE RINGING]
Branca.
WOMAN: There'’s been
another one.
Let'’s go.
MAN: So why'’s
your husband involved...
Hey, get out of here.
Get these press idiots
out of here.
Ma'’am, I'm Lieutenant Branca.
I'’m very sorry

they were fairly close
to the incineration spot.
Tonight when you
go to the museum,
I'’ll go and talk
to them, all right?
Yeah.
[WHIRRING]
Don'’t be afraid.
I just came here
to ask you some questions.
You, you'’re... Night Man.
You'’re missing a mummy.
Uh... well, um...
I caught the thieves
over here last night.
Thank you.
A case was close,
and there were
jewels on it.
Where'’d the mummy go?
I... I don'’t know.
It'’s Queen Neftalah,
you understand.
She was a sorceress.
Neftalah'’s rule
was a rule of terror.
She believed
that her sorcery
gave her power
over the underworld.
And she demanded that
people worshiped 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.
Hmm.
We were truly lucky
to find her grave.
What about the jewels?
Ah, 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 papers?No.
No, I, uh...
I live in the past,
I'’m afraid.
Then how'’d you know
who I am?
We told him...
[GUNS COCKING]
...Night Man.
Lieutenant.
I figured you'’d come
to ask about the mummies.
Don'’t let him hurt me.
Oh, he won'’t.
You don'’t hurt
innocent people,
do you, Night Man?
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 in. No shooting
Check all levels.
Use your ears.
MAN: Lieutenant, up here!
Let'’s go.
[HIP-HOP MUSIC PLAYING]
[INDISTINCT CHATTER]
RALEIGH: Hey, guys.
[CHEERING]
I'’m trying to learn more
about the murder that
took place here last night.
You Five-0, man?
No, I'’m not from...BOY: Are you a fish act?
I'’m sorry?
Are you a reporter?
No, I'’m not
a reporter either.
Yeah? 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?
[SCOFFS] Yeah,
what do you know
about brothers, man?
More than
you might think, man.
Yeah, and I think
you'’re sham, man.
We got each other'’s
backs down here so...Word up.
Just get to steppin'’, man.
[ALL MURMURING]
Now, man.
Move your Gucci butt.
Now, sucker.
Move your
Gucci butt, man.
All right, if this
is what you want.
[INDISTINCT CHATTER]
BOY: All right, all right.
I got 500, all right?
I got five 500.
"Gucci butt."
Just because
I hang out in laboratories
instead of on street corners...
[SPEAKING FOREIGN LANGUAGE]
WOMAN:
You are the clever servant
I had been seeking.
You will be
my master builder.
I see you desire a shape more pleasing.
So let it be done.
Come.
We go to seek eternity.
Yes, my queen.

[AUDIENCE APPLAUDING
AND CHEERING]
Where is The White Goddess?
I don'’t know
what you mean.
There, my queen.
[LOCK CLICKS]
JOHNNY: That'’s not safe.
Singer?
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!
[CRASHING]
[THUDS]
[GRUNTS]
You shall not oppose
Queen Neftalah,
cause and ruler
of the sacred Nile.
Raleigh?
[GRUNTS]
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 have 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.
[GRUNTS]
We must go, my queen.
[SIRENS BLARING]
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,
at least by reputation,
and I saw you battle
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?
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.
Thanks.
[DOOR CLOSES]
Help!
Hail, Queen Neftalah.
NEFTALAH: Master Builder.
What progress on my machine,
the 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 the night
struck the queen jewel
and king jewel,
then did I awaken.
When the golden ray
from the star of Khafra
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 Neftalah.
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 Khafra.
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 lives 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?
No, he...
He was her servant
or so she said.
How was he dressed?
It was fabulous, really.
Egyptian drag.
It was a 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.
Mmm.
You want to see me?Yeah, come in.
I don'’t know if you heard
about the jewel robbery
last night.
No.
It was, uh...
well, one of those
strange, um...
perpetrators we'’ve had
in Bay City recently.
But there was definitely
one other person there,
and we now have sketch.
Take a look.
Raleigh?
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.
Oh. From now on,
so will we.
[ELECTRONIC BEEPING]
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 commanded.
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 Neftalah,
ruler of the underworld.
And all the world itself
will bow before me
and my dark legions.
But first, The White Goddess
and the man of night
shall be mine.

[LAUGHTER]
Yeah?
There'’s no friends of yours
in this neighborhood, man.
Sure, there are.
You could be my friends.
[LAUGHS]
I don'’t think so, man.
So you down with Na'’il
being burned to death?
The hell I am.
Listen, I'’m on your side.
All right, what?
I'’m trying to find out
who killed Na'’il.
And they might have
the guy I'’m looking for.
Okay, man.
We saw your man.
We couldn'’t do nothing
for him, no.
Last time we saw him,
he went that way.
That way?
Yeah.Thanks.
Man, why 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.
Raleigh, where are you?
[BEEP]
[BEEPING]
Safe journey, O Queen.
[FOOTSTEPS APPROACHING]
Man of night.
You should be asail
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.
[SCREAMING]
Say good night.
I heard your
distressed 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 key to the portal.
Come. Tonight we trod
the path to eternity.
Long live,
Queen Neftalah.
[GROANING]
Raleigh?
[GRUNTS]
[EXHALES] 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 Neftalah.
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 think
I would keep you at my side,
but it is not to be.
My life is yours
to command, Your Highness.
With the world entire
before me,
there will be others
to sustain me,
as there have always been.
Neftalah was born
and reborn to rule.
RALEIGH: Long live,
Queen Neftalah.
No, Master Builder.
"Forever live,
Queen Neftalah."
Forever live, Queen Neftalah.
Forever live, Queen Neftalah.
Enough.
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.
[FOOTSTEPS APPROACHING]
Here. Don'’t say I never
bought you anything.Thanks, 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 Fifth.
Just a few blocks from here.
Let'’s check it out.
Bow before your queen.
Hail, Queen Neftalah.
ALL: Hail, Queen Neftalah.
These will suffice
to nourish the first
of my legions.
Now, Master Builder,
align the machine
so the golden light of Khafra
may come visit.
Midnight fast approaches.
Then shall you give
your final measures
onto me.
I live to serve,
Your Highness.
Gem of purest ray
everlasting,
complete this machine
and open the portal
to eternity,
making the past
even as the present.
It is time, Master Builder.
I see the star,
and I obey, Great Queen.
Midnight is upon us.
Open yourself
to the star of Khafra.
The portal, it'’s opening.
The gatekeepers are returning
from the underworld.
The light!
Man of night!
Defend your queen!
What do you jackals want?
Too late, man of night.
[SCREAMING] No!
[EXPLOSION]
[GRUNTS]
The jewels.
The queen jewel.
Are you forgetting
something?
NEFTALAH: The starlight.
The moment has passed
into eternity.
I cannot stop the stars.
What...
Are you all right?
I... Yeah. Yeah, yeah.
I guess. Just...
What happened?
The last thing
I remember...
I had a Gucci butt.
That'’ll take
some explaining.
Dust to dust.
[COUGHING]
What he hell
happened here?

I was hypnotized.
Weren'’t we all?
Uh, except for Night Man.
Yup. One more reason
I'’d like to talk
