LORRIE: Some party.
ANGELA: It'’s one
of Cassandra'’s
voodoo ceremonies.
LORRIE: Whatever.
It'’s a great distraction.
It'’s open.
Let'’s go.
[CASSANDRA GRUNTING]
[SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC PLAYING]
You!
[ELECTRIC BUZZING]
[GROANING][CLATTERING]
Is he dead?
He'’s not dead.
He'’s just unconscious.
Come on, let'’s hurry.
[EXOTIC MUSIC PLAYING]
This is his room
There'’s always
a guard there.
LORRIE: He'’s probably
watching the ceremony.
Let'’s go!
My baby!
[BABY COOING]
[CHANTING]
It'’s mommy!
I missed you.
I'’ve missed you...
Hurry, Angela.
We must go quickly.
[LIGHTNING CRASHES]

[GRUNTING]
GUARD: Hold it!
[ELECTRIC BUZZING][GROANING]
He'’s military,
not security.
Why, Angela?
Go!
Meet you at

Go, go to it!
Go! Go to the exit!
[WHOOSHING]
[WHOOSHING]
He'’s gone.
My son...
Is gone.
[LIGHTNING CRASHING]
Find him.
Did you find him?
Round up every guard
that was on duty
here tonight.
I will execute them personally.
Bring me your son'’s things.
I will tell you
where he'’s gone.
[LIGHTNING CRASHING]
Angela!
Angela!
[THUNDER RUMBLING]
Here!
You have to get
to the boat!
You told me that
your husband was
a wealthy plantation owner.
He is.
He'’s also the son
of this island'’s ruler.
Why didn'’t you tell me?
Because I know
you wouldn'’t
take the job.
You'’re wrong!
I still would have
taken it.
I would have been
better prepared!
I'’m sorry.
Your son is heir
to the throne, right?
Yes.
They'’re going
to come after him
with everything
they'’ve got.
We'’re gonna need some help
to protect the two of you.
We can'’t go
to the police.
But there is
one other possibility.
There is a guy I know.
What good will one guy do?
You should see him in action.

Thank you. We'’re gonna

Will be back in a few.
Hey, Johnny!
Lorrie! It'’s been a long time.
How'’ve you been?Great.
What, you'’re not wearing...
My powersuit
under this? No!
[LAUGHS]
I had experimental
spinal surgery
at the Leander Institute
in Zurich last year.
Oh, looks like
the experiment worked.
Yeah, complete success.
I'’ve got full mobility.
That'’s great.
What brings you to Bay City?
My job.
Here'’s my card.
Oh...
JOHNNY: When in trouble...
RALEIGH: Mm-hmm,
you decided to specialize...
That'’s a good idea.
Yeah, in theory.
But at the moment,
I maybe
the woman in trouble.
Why?
You guys ever hear
of San Marcos?
Yeah, yeah, it'’s
a small island nation
in the southern Caribbean.
What about it?
Yeah, I just kidnapped
the heir to the throne.
[LIGHTNING CRASHING]
[CASSANDRA CHANTING]
[MOANING]
Where is he?
You told me
you could find my son.
[LIGHTNING CRASHING]
[CASSANDRA CHANTING]
[LIGHTNING CRASHING]
[INHALING]
[FIRE CRACKLING]
He'’s been taken far away.
CASSANDRA: United States.
[LIGHTNING CRASHES]
In a place called Bay City.
[LIGHTNING CRASHES]
Pack your things, quickly.
I already have
a plane waiting.
Bring me some of your wife'’s
personal items too.
Specially the hair brush
she left behind
when you separated.
A few strands
of her hair
will be her downfall.
RALEIGH: Hello, big boy.
Hello, big boy.
Hey, did you see that?
I think he just smiled at me.
He doesn'’t usually
like strangers.
Raleigh'’s really good
with children.
Women, on the other hand...Hey!
I can see
why you did it.
I just hope I can
keep them together.
JOHNNY: Yeah. Why not just
go to the police?
No! No police.
LORRIE: The day
after they separated,
her husband, Raul, filed
a San Marcos custody order
with our governments.
And they accepted that?
Mm-hmm.
LORRIE: It'’s completely legal.
And enforcible.
That is ridiculous!
When are we going
to stop supporting
these tin-pot dictators
who rob and brutalize
their own people?
All we can do is help
Angela and Nando.
I'’ve already started
to create new
identities for them.
And I'’m looking
for a good
relocation spot.
JOHNNY: Good, I'’m glad
you got away from San Marcos.
If we get lucky, it'’ll
take them a week or more
to find you in Bay City.
Mm-hmm, and by that time,
I'’ll make these two disappear.
[SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC PLAYING]
This will suit our purposes.
What is it?
You know where he is?
Not yet.
But soon.
[CHEERFUL MUSIC PLAYING]
[SAXOPHONE MUSIC PLAYING]
May I help you?
Yes, I was looking
for someone,
but he'’s already gone.
RALEIGH: His loss.
You know,
you'’re more than welcome
to hang out
and listen to the band
rehearse, if you want.
Another time.
Huh?
Come back any time.
[DOGS BARKING]
He'’s finally asleep.
I think he'’ll sleep
most of the night now.
Looks like you could use
a full night'’s rest, too.

ANGELA: Lorrie...
Please... Help!
Angela! What'’s the matter?
Oh, you'’re burning up.
I'’ll call an ambulance.
[YELLING]
[EVIL LAUGHTER]
How'’s she doing?
Well, her fever seems
to go up and down,
but I can'’t figure out
what'’s causing it.
RALEIGH: Some of these viruses
can be pretty elusive.
Well, she keeps talking
about his voodoo woman
named Cassandra,
who put a curse on her.
That'’s the fever talking.
Maybe, you know,
that'’s the funny thing
about superstitions.
If you believe in them
strongly enough,
they really can
affect the way you feel.
ANGELA: Lorrie...
[SIGHS]
You'’re all here.
Where is Nando?
He'’s with my neighbor.
I just checked on him.
He'’s fine.
Promise me you will
take care of him.
I will.
JOHNNY: We all will.
You just have to get some rest.
Watch out for Cassandra.
They have her
heavily sedated,
I'’ve got to go,
I'’m still trying to arrange
for Angela'’s new identity.
Yeah, I know
this drummer in town.
His name is
Izzy Valdez.
He'’s from San Marcos.
I'’ll see if he knows anything
about this Cassandra.
Someone has
to pick up the baby.
I can do it.
Can you handle this?
Of course, I mean,
it'’s one little baby, right?
Right?
Well, these seem
to be in order.
Those custody papers
are completely valid
in this country.
I'’m sure they are.
But as I was saying,
this is not the sort
of crime
I normally pursue.
But what I can do
is refer you to our...
Excuse me, Lieutenant.
I got the Chief
on line two for you.
Excuse me?
Chief, what can I
do for you?
As a matter of fact,
he is sitting across
from me right now.
I see.
Uh... Yes, I understand.
I'’ll see to it personally.
Yeah, goodbye.
QUILIO: What'’s up?
Uh, later, Quilio.
Well...
It seems someone
in Washington
called the governor,
who called the Chief,
who called me
to say that your case
needs special handling.
And I'’m elected.
Excellent.
[COUGHING]
So, um...
Do you have any idea
where your ex-wife
might have taken your son?
Not yet.
But I know
a good place
to start.
John?
Hey, Briony.
Wanna tell me about it?
Sure, it'’s a new reed.
It just doesn'’t...
I'’m talking about
Angela Marquez,
the young mother who
kidnapped her son from
San Marcos two nights ago.
You lost me there.
Then why does the father
insist the baby
was brought here?
I don'’t know, I just
play the sax around here.
John, this boy
is heir to the throne.
We'’ve got major heat coming
all the way from Washington
on this one, come on.
What makes him think
I'’m involved?
He was pretty vague about that,
otherwise I'’d have
a search warrant.
You swear you don'’t know
anything about this?
I swear.
You have no idea
where this baby is.
No idea.
All right.
See ya.Later.
Okay, see, Nando,
and this is a keyboard,
and that on the screen
is a WYSIWYG program.
WYSIWYG stands for
"What You See
Is What You Get."
Can you say WYSIWYG?
WYSI...
Maybe not. [CHUCKLING]
[BABY COOING][SNIFFING]
Ooh, is that you?
Wait, lemme see it.
Oh, hey!
What are they feeding you?
Sulfur? Come on.
Here we go.
Yeah... All right.
[BABY COOING]
Oh... Oh![TRICKLING]

[RALEIGH MURMURS INDISTINCTLY]

[CHUCKLING]
JOHNNY: Whoa!
Was anyone hurt?
What are you
talking about? When?
When the nursery
exploded in here.
[CHUCKLING] That'’s very funny.
LORRIE: So everything'’s okay?
Sure! Why wouldn'’t it be?
You know, I'’ve engineered
major weapons systems.
This, Mr. Mom thing,
is not...
[THUD]
Maybe I better
take over from here, huh?
Ah, sure.Hey, little guy.
Uh, those
adhesive tabs must...Mm-hmm.
And you'’re the guy that
engineered weapons systems.
[DOOR CREAKING OPEN]
[OMINOUS MUSIC PLAYING]
[CASSANDRA CHANTING]
[WHOOSHING]
Awake!
[MOANING]
Where is your son?
[ANGELA MOANING]
Tell me!
With Lorrie Jarvis.
Sent where?
[GASPING]
[CASSANDRA CHANTING]
CASSANDRA: Where?
1943, Wood Court.
[EXCLAIMS]
Sleep!
[WHOOSHING]
RALEIGH: Okay,
I'’ll talk to you
in an hour.
Bye.
Is everything okay?
It'’s fine.
Except that my call
woke up the baby.
Is all this checking
really necessary, I mean,
the father
has no way of knowing
the baby'’s location.
Maybe not.
But it took them
less than a day
to find out Lorrie
brought the baby
to Bay City.
[BABY COOING]
[OMINOUS MUSIC PLAYING]
All right,
move in carefully.
Only two men?
They'’re my best.
More men
make more noise.
Don'’t worry,
they can do the job.
Perhaps.
Nice night.
Is it?
[WHOOSHING]
Call Lorrie,
they found her.
[FAST-PACED MUSIC PLAYING]
[WHOOSHING]
[SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC PLAYING]
[ELECTRIC BUZZING][GROANING]
Something'’s wrong.
Scramble, scramble.
Who was that?
[INHALING]
[SAXOPHONE MUSIC PLAYING][GASPING]
[SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC PLAYING]
[WHOOSHING]
[GRUNTING]
[BEEPING]
RAUL: Get us outta here!
Get us out of here,
drive! Drive!
[TIRES SCREECHING]
RAUL: Now what do we do?
My ex-wife seems
to have found
some very powerful friends.
Don'’t forget, Raul,
you have a powerful friend too.
Think you can
handle them?
Of course.
No one can stand
against my magic.
QUILIO: Angela, check this out.
All the assault victims
carry military ID
from San Marcos.
Hmm. Well, now,
there is a coincidence.
Raul Marquez is looking
for his son who was kidnapped
from San Marcos,
and this Lorrie Jarvis,
who is supposedly
single and childless,
has a nursery in her house.
So you think
the baby was here?
Well, looks like it.
Marquez decided
to take matters
into his own hands.
Oh, by the way,
from the description
one of the victims
gave of his assailant,
it has to be Night Man.
Great.
So, now we are dealing
with two sets of vigilantes.
Where is this Lorrie Jarvis
and the baby?
JOHNNY: I think you
and the baby should stay
here from now on.
Agreed, there is no
percentage in dividing
our forces anymore.
I guess there is no chance
that he is gonna
give up and go home.
He'’s full of surprises,
but I wouldn'’t bet
on that one.
Do you know
how they found you
and the baby?
Well, if you believe Angela,
it'’s magic.
It'’s black magic.
Cassandra!
It'’s 4:00 a.m.
The perfect hour
for a powerful spell.
You asked me
to defeat your enemies.
You'’re conjuring
against them already?
What about
the man who flew?
CASSANDRA: He would be
dealt with.
RAUL: How?
When dealing
with a strong man,
it is best not to
attack his strength.
But instead,
to attack the fact
that he is a man.
I don'’t understand.
You don'’t need to.
Go!
And leave them to me.
[YELLING]
[FIRE CRACKLING]
[EVIL LAUGHTER]
Does it seem
warm in here to you?
Warm?
No, it feels about
right to me.
Okay, but do me a favor.
Tonight, turn up
the AC at this end.
I always do.
Thanks.
RALEIGH: She'’s back.
Hello, Johnny.
I'’m Amanda.
Hi.
[WHOOSHING]
[WHOOSHING]
Hi, it'’s good
to see you again.
I'’m Raleigh.
I'’m really glad...Thank you, Raleigh.
But I'’m here
to see Johnny.
Oh.
Could you turn
the air up? Now?
Yes, I'’m feeling
rather warm myself.
It'’s funny, it suddenly
feels rather cold
in here to me.
I'’ll go check it.
So, what did you
wanna see me about?
Does it matter?
Um...
No, I guess not.
[LAUGHING] I was hoping
you'’d say that.
BRIONY: Hey, Raleigh!
Hey, Briony!
Can I get you something?Uh, no, thanks.
I just came by
to see John. Is he...
Oh! There he is.
With a lady friend.[CASSANDRA LAUGHING]
Looks serious.Really?
They just met
an hour ago.
Mmm. No kidding.
Well, I need a word.
From the first moment
we met, it'’s been...
Like magic.
Johnny, I hate
to interrupt, but, uh...
Oh, hey, Briony!
Uh, this is Amanda.
Amanda, this is...
Lieutenant Branca, hi!
Actually, John,
this is not a social call.
Do you know
a woman named
Lorrie Jarvis?
Uh, doesn'’t ring a bell.
BRIONY: No? Ex-cop?
Friend of Charlie Dann'’s,
used to hang out here
about a year or so ago.
Oh, yeah. What about her?
Well, she'’s involved
in this custody case somehow.
So is Night Man.
What does that
have to do with me?
I'’m warning you, John,
if you'’re mixed up in this...
I'’m not.
[WHISPERS] Tell her to go.
Are we done here?
I'’m busy.
Uh... Yeah.
I can see that.
Later.See you.
Kinda rough...
Can we go somewhere
more private?
Yeah.
We'’ll be in my
dressing room.
How does that feel?
Good.
Real good.
Mmm, you have
too much stress
in your life.
You need to relax more.
Allow yourself
to be pampered a little.
As long as you'’re doing it.
That'’s right.
Just let yourself drift.
Put yourself into
my hands, Johnny.
I'’m going
to take care of you.
[OMINOUS MUSIC PLAYING]
Everything is all right?
Fine. I just need
to see my baby.
Hey, Raleigh.
Hey!
Look at you,
the hospital
released you already?
She checked herself out.
But her fever
does seem to be gone.
Where'’s Nando?
Oh, he'’s upstairs
with our singer,
don'’t worry.
I just had a meeting.
Where'’s Johnny?
Oh, he'’s...
Been busy.
[CASSANDRA GIGGLING]
Oh, my God.
It'’s Cassandra.
Don'’t let her see me.
RALEIGH: What?
It'’s her.
She'’s pure evil.
That'’s weird.
Johnny usually picks up
on stuff like that.
But instead, looks like
he'’s mesmerized or something.
She'’s cast a spell on him.
You mean,
like a love potion?
Come on, that'’s
a bunch of nonsense.
Yeah, maybe, but it
certainly would explain
a whole lot.
What if he told her
about Nando?
Take Angela upstairs,
let me deal with Johnny.
Okay, good luck.
Come on.
Hey! How'’re you doing?
Couldn'’t be better.
Yeah, that'’s what
I was afraid of.
What are you
talking about?
We need to talk.
[EXOTIC MUSIC PLAYING]
That woman'’s real name
is Cassandra.
And she'’s
from San Marcos.
I know, I picked up
on her vibe.
So she didn'’t put you
under a love spell.
No. But I played along.
And she doesn'’t know
about the baby.
Right.Good.
[BABY COOING]
Where'’s Lorrie?
I don'’t know,
she was just here.
Angela, have you
seen Lorrie?
She left about
ten minutes ago.
Left? Why?
She said something
about being tired
of defending, and...
She wanted to go
to the offense.
She'’s going after them alone.
[SIGHING] Take them
to your place.

What about the others?
They'’re on their way

Okay, let'’s go.
[FAST-PACED MUSIC PLAYING]

[GRUNTS LOUDLY]
It can'’t be.
You should have run

CASSANDRA: It would
have been pointless.
Besides...
I couldn'’t leave you, Johnny.
Those feelings you had
for me this afternoon,
they'’re still there.
Look at me.
Look into my eyes
and see the truth.
You love me, Johnny.
You love me
more than life.
Yes, that'’s it.
You would do
anything for me.
Say it.
Say you love me.
[GASPING]
Sorry, Cassandra.
The magic'’s over.
BRIONY: Raul is claiming
diplomatic immunity
for himself and Cassandra.
But there is
one little problem.
His father
was deposed yesterday.
[CHUCKLING] You'’re kidding me.
Caesar Marquez
is out. How?
Well, once the opposition
found out that
Raul and witchy woman
were out of the country,
they moved to seize power.
That'’s great!
Yeah. So the State Department
did an immediate 180
on the entire family.
In fact, we are extraditing
Cassandra and Raul
back to San Marcos today.
More crimes than
you can shake
a voodoo doll at.
Wow! So what does
that mean for Raul'’s
ex-wife and their baby?
Well, she won'’t have any
problem getting a US court
to grant her full custody.
Can you do me a favor
and tell her that
in person?
[BABY COOING]
Ah...
Let me guess.
They turned up
on your doorstep this morning.
You must be
psychic, Lieutenant.
[BABY COOING]
So you got to take off?
Yeah.
Well, there are a lot more
women in trouble out there.
I got 15 requests
in the last week.
Well, if you need
my help again.
I got your number.
Look at that.
Oh, Lorrie?
No, no...
She and Johnny aren'’t...
You know...
She'’s more of a...
Business partner.
Bye.Take care.

You told me that
your husband was

He is.
He'’s also the son
of this island'’s ruler.
Why didn'’t you tell me?
Because I know
you wouldn'’t
take the job.
You'’re wrong!
I still would have
taken it.
I would have been
better prepared!
I'’m sorry.
Your son is heir
to the throne, right?
Yes.
They'’re going
to come after him
with everything
they'’ve got.
We'’re gonna need some help
to protect the two of you.
We can'’t go
to the police.
But there is
one other possibility.
There is a guy I know.
What good will one guy do?
You should see him in action.

Hey, Johnny!
Lorrie! It'’s been a long time.
How'’ve you been?Great.
What, you'’re not wearing...
My powersuit
under this? No!
[LAUGHS]
I had experimental
spinal surgery
at the Leander Institute
in Zurich last year.
Oh, looks like
the experiment worked.
Yeah, complete success.
I'’ve got full mobility.
That'’s great.
What brings you to Bay City?
My job.
Here'’s my card.
Oh...
JOHNNY: When in trouble...
RALEIGH: Mm-hmm,
you decided to specialize...
That'’s a good idea.
Yeah, in theory.
But at the moment,
I maybe
the woman in trouble.
Why?
You guys ever hear
of San Marcos?
Yeah, yeah, it'’s
a small island nation
in the southern Caribbean.
What about it?
Yeah, I just kidnapped
the heir to the throne.

you could find my son.

[INHALING]
[FIRE CRACKLING]
He'’s been taken far away.
CASSANDRA: United States.
[LIGHTNING CRASHES]
In a place called Bay City.
[LIGHTNING CRASHES]
Pack your things, quickly.
I already have
a plane waiting.
Bring me some of your wife'’s
personal items too.
Specially the hair brush
she left behind
when you separated.
A few strands
of her hair
will be her downfall.
RALEIGH: Hello, big boy.
Hello, big boy.
Hey, did you see that?
I think he just smiled at me.
He doesn'’t usually
like strangers.
Raleigh'’s really good
with children.
Women, on the other hand...Hey!
I can see
why you did it.
I just hope I can
keep them together.
JOHNNY: Yeah. Why not just
go to the police?
No! No police.
LORRIE: The day
after they separated,
her husband, Raul, filed
a San Marcos custody order
with our governments.
And they accepted that?
Mm-hmm.
LORRIE: It'’s completely legal.
And enforcible.
That is ridiculous!
When are we going
to stop supporting
these tin-pot dictators
who rob and brutalize
their own people?
All we can do is help
Angela and Nando.
I'’ve already started
to create new
identities for them.
And I'’m looking
for a good
relocation spot.
JOHNNY: Good, I'’m glad
you got away from San Marcos.
If we get lucky, it'’ll
take them a week or more
to find you in Bay City.
Mm-hmm, and by that time,
I'’ll make these two disappear.
[SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC PLAYING]
This will suit our purposes.
What is it?
You know where he is?
Not yet.
But soon.
[CHEERFUL MUSIC PLAYING]
[SAXOPHONE MUSIC PLAYING]
May I help you?
Yes, I was looking
for someone,
but he'’s already gone.
RALEIGH: His loss.
You know,
you'’re more than welcome
to hang out
and listen to the band
rehearse, if you want.
Another time.
Huh?
Come back any time.

How'’s she doing?
Well, her fever seems
to go up and down,
but I can'’t figure out
what'’s causing it.
RALEIGH: Some of these viruses
can be pretty elusive.
Well, she keeps talking
about his voodoo woman
named Cassandra,
who put a curse on her.
That'’s the fever talking.
Maybe, you know,
that'’s the funny thing
about superstitions.
If you believe in them
strongly enough,
they really can
affect the way you feel.
ANGELA: Lorrie...
[SIGHS]
You'’re all here.
Where is Nando?
He'’s with my neighbor.
I just checked on him.
He'’s fine.
Promise me you will
take care of him.
I will.
JOHNNY: We all will.
You just have to get some rest.
Watch out for Cassandra.
They have her
heavily sedated,
I'’ve got to go,
I'’m still trying to arrange
for Angela'’s new identity.
Yeah, I know
this drummer in town.
His name is
Izzy Valdez.
He'’s from San Marcos.
I'’ll see if he knows anything
about this Cassandra.
Someone has
to pick up the baby.
I can do it.
Can you handle this?
Of course, I mean,
it'’s one little baby, right?
Right?
Well, these seem
to be in order.
Those custody papers
are completely valid
in this country.
I'’m sure they are.
But as I was saying,
this is not the sort
of crime
I normally pursue.
But what I can do
is refer you to our...
Excuse me, Lieutenant.
I got the Chief
on line two for you.
Excuse me?
Chief, what can I
do for you?
As a matter of fact,
he is sitting across
from me right now.
I see.
Uh... Yes, I understand.
I'’ll see to it personally.
Yeah, goodbye.
QUILIO: What'’s up?
Uh, later, Quilio.
Well...
It seems someone
in Washington
called the governor,
who called the Chief,
who called me
to say that your case
needs special handling.
And I'’m elected.
Excellent.
[COUGHING]
So, um...
Do you have any idea
where your ex-wife
might have taken your son?
Not yet.
But I know
a good place
to start.
John?
Hey, Briony.
Wanna tell me about it?
Sure, it'’s a new reed.
It just doesn'’t...
I'’m talking about
Angela Marquez,
the young mother who
kidnapped her son from
San Marcos two nights ago.
You lost me there.
Then why does the father
insist the baby
was brought here?
I don'’t know, I just
play the sax around here.
John, this boy
is heir to the throne.
We'’ve got major heat coming
all the way from Washington
on this one, come on.
What makes him think
I'’m involved?
He was pretty vague about that,
otherwise I'’d have
a search warrant.
You swear you don'’t know
anything about this?
I swear.
You have no idea
where this baby is.
No idea.
All right.
See ya.Later.
Okay, see, Nando,
and this is a keyboard,
and that on the screen
is a WYSIWYG program.
WYSIWYG stands for

You know, I'’ve engineered

Is everything okay?
It'’s fine.
Except that my call
woke up the baby.
Is all this checking
really necessary, I mean,
the father
has no way of knowing
the baby'’s location.
Maybe not.
But it took them
less than a day
to find out Lorrie
brought the baby
to Bay City.
[BABY COOING]
[OMINOUS MUSIC PLAYING]
All right,
move in carefully.
Only two men?
They'’re my best.

make more noise.

My ex-wife seems

some very powerful friends.
Don'’t forget, Raul,
you have a powerful friend too.
Think you can
handle them?
Of course.
No one can stand
against my magic.
QUILIO: Angela, check this out.
All the assault victims
carry military ID
from San Marcos.
Hmm. Well, now,
there is a coincidence.
Raul Marquez is looking
for his son who was kidnapped
from San Marcos,
and this Lorrie Jarvis,
who is supposedly
single and childless,
has a nursery in her house.
So you think
the baby was here?
Well, looks like it.
Marquez decided
to take matters
into his own hands.
Oh, by the way,
from the description
one of the victims
gave of his assailant,
it has to be Night Man.
Great.
So, now we are dealing
with two sets of vigilantes.
Where is this Lorrie Jarvis
and the baby?
JOHNNY: I think you
and the baby should stay
here from now on.
Agreed, there is no
percentage in dividing
our forces anymore.
I guess there is no chance
that he is gonna
give up and go home.
He'’s full of surprises,
but I wouldn'’t bet
on that one.
Do you know
how they found you
and the baby?
Well, if you believe Angela,
it'’s magic.
It'’s black magic.
Cassandra!
It'’s 4:00 a.m.
The perfect hour
for a powerful spell.
You asked me
to defeat your enemies.
You'’re conjuring
against them already?
What about
the man who flew?
CASSANDRA: He would be
dealt with.
RAUL: How?
When dealing
with a strong man,
it is best not to
attack his strength.
But instead,
to attack the fact
that he is a man.
I don'’t understand.
You don'’t need to.
Go!
And leave them to me.

Hi.

Could you turn
the air up? Now?
Yes, I'’m feeling
rather warm myself.
It'’s funny, it suddenly
feels rather cold
in here to me.
I'’ll go check it.
So, what did you
wanna see me about?
Does it matter?
Um...
No, I guess not.
[LAUGHING] I was hoping
you'’d say that.
BRIONY: Hey, Raleigh!
Hey, Briony!
Can I get you something?Uh, no, thanks.
I just came by
to see John. Is he...
Oh! There he is.
With a lady friend.[CASSANDRA LAUGHING]
Looks serious.Really?
They just met
an hour ago.
Mmm. No kidding.
Well, I need a word.
From the first moment
we met, it'’s been...
Like magic.
Johnny, I hate
to interrupt, but, uh...
Oh, hey, Briony!
Uh, this is Amanda.
Amanda, this is...
Lieutenant Branca, hi!
Actually, John,
this is not a social call.
Do you know
a woman named
Lorrie Jarvis?
Uh, doesn'’t ring a bell.
BRIONY: No? Ex-cop?
Friend of Charlie Dann'’s,
used to hang out here
about a year or so ago.
Oh, yeah. What about her?
Well, she'’s involved
in this custody case somehow.
So is Night Man.
What does that
have to do with me?
I'’m warning you, John,
if you'’re mixed up in this...
I'’m not.
[WHISPERS] Tell her to go.
Are we done here?
I'’m busy.
Uh... Yeah.
I can see that.
Later.See you.
Kinda rough...
Can we go somewhere
more private?
Yeah.
We'’ll be in my
dressing room.
How does that feel?
Good.
Real good.
Mmm, you have
too much stress
in your life.
You need to relax more.
Allow yourself
to be pampered a little.
As long as you'’re doing it.
That'’s right.
Just let yourself drift.
Put yourself into
my hands, Johnny.
I'’m going
to take care of you.
[OMINOUS MUSIC PLAYING]
Everything is all right?
Fine. I just need
to see my baby.
Hey, Raleigh.
Hey!
Look at you,
the hospital
released you already?
She checked herself out.
But her fever
does seem to be gone.
Where'’s Nando?
Oh, he'’s upstairs
with our singer,
don'’t worry.
I just had a meeting.
Where'’s Johnny?
Oh, he'’s...
Been busy.
[CASSANDRA GIGGLING]
Oh, my God.
It'’s Cassandra.
Don'’t let her see me.
RALEIGH: What?
It'’s her.
She'’s pure evil.
That'’s weird.
Johnny usually picks up
on stuff like that.
But instead, looks like
he'’s mesmerized or something.
She'’s cast a spell on him.
You mean,
like a love potion?
Come on, that'’s
a bunch of nonsense.
Yeah, maybe, but it
certainly would explain
a whole lot.
What if he told her
about Nando?
Take Angela upstairs,
let me deal with Johnny.
Okay, good luck.
Come on.
Hey! How'’re you doing?
Couldn'’t be better.
Yeah, that'’s what
I was afraid of.
What are you
talking about?
We need to talk.
[EXOTIC MUSIC PLAYING]
That woman'’s real name
is Cassandra.
And she'’s
from San Marcos.
I know, I picked up
on her vibe.
So she didn'’t put you
under a love spell.
No. But I played along.
And she doesn'’t know
about the baby.
Right.Good.
[BABY COOING]
Where'’s Lorrie?
I don'’t know,
she was just here.
Angela, have you
seen Lorrie?
She left about
ten minutes ago.
Left? Why?
She said something
about being tired
of defending, and...
She wanted to go
to the offense.
She'’s going after them alone.

diplomatic immunity
for himself and Cassandra.
But there is
one little problem.
His father
was deposed yesterday.
[CHUCKLING] You'’re kidding me.
Caesar Marquez
is out. How?
Well, once the opposition
found out that
Raul and witchy woman
were out of the country,
they moved to seize power.
That'’s great!
Yeah. So the State Department
did an immediate 180
on the entire family.
In fact, we are extraditing
Cassandra and Raul
back to San Marcos today.
More crimes than
you can shake
a voodoo doll at.
Wow! So what does
that mean for Raul'’s
ex-wife and their baby?
Well, she won'’t have any
problem getting a US court
to grant her full custody.
Can you do me a favor
and tell her that
in person?
[BABY COOING]
Ah...
Let me guess.
They turned up
on your doorstep this morning.
You must be
psychic, Lieutenant.
[BABY COOING]
So you got to take off?
Yeah.
Well, there are a lot more
women in trouble out there.
I got 15 requests
in the last week.
Well, if you need
my help again.
I got your number.
Look at that.
Oh, Lorrie?
No, no...
She and Johnny aren'’t...
You know...
She'’s more of a...
Business partner.
