NightMan (1997–1999): Season 2, Episode 3 - It Came from Out of the Sky - full transcript

Passing over the
forbidden planet, Captain.

Estimate 44 nuons until
docking at beta point.

None too soon,
if you ask me.

Can'’t wait till we
unload this cargo.

I haven'’t slept a wink
since we started this mission.

You shouldn'’t fear
what you don'’t understand.

Captain?

You know what the people of
the forbidden planet
call the beta point?

Mars.

They named a planet
after a criminal?

To you, he'’s a criminal.
To them, he'’s the god of war.



Theirs is a planet
filled with fear.

The fear of the unknown.

And it is that fear
that brings war,
famine and disease.

Even we went through
that stage, Captain.

In time, they'’ll develop
beyond their fears and
join us in the stars.

I'’m afraid they won't be
given that opportunity.

You'’re one of them!

A dracon!

[SCREAMING]

Not just one of them,
Commander.

[WHISPERING] Just one.

[EERIE MUSIC PLAYING]

[GROANING]
Dude, forget about her,
all right.

Julie is what we call
"The flavor of the month."



Yeah.[LAUGHING]

You'’re talking about
the girl I love.

Dude, she dumped you!

Forget about it.
Acknowledge it. Move on.

Love is just your
hormones talking.
That'’s it.

Genetic programming, my man.

Dude, it'’s our
biological imperative
to reproduce.

See, love only exists
to screw with our brains.

Very well said.
Very good.

[HEAVY WIND BLOWING]

What the hell is that?

Tornado?

There are no tornadoes
in Bay city.

[THUDDING IN DISTANCE]

Guys, check this out!

All right, guys,
I really think
we should get out of here.

I think that'’s
a good idea, man.

Eric, let'’s go.Eric?

What are you crazy?
Let'’s go!

Eric!

[CHOKING]

Eric! Oh, my god!

[THEME MUSIC PLAYING]

[EERIE MUSIC PLAYING]

Who are you?
How did you get in here?

Not a good idea, Captain.

Whatever they'’re paying you,
I'’m sure it's
not worth dying for.

You'’re a tracker.
I thought your breed
died out long ago.

As long as there are
traitors like you to
help those vermin spread,

there will be someone like me
to help track them down.

Now...

tell me the
rendezvous point.

And maybe... maybe,
I will spare your life.

You'’re too kind.

Zentare...
that'’s your name,
isn'’t it?

Aren'’t you
tired of traveling?

Your constant battles.

Your wanton destruction
of other worlds.

Why do you
go on fighting when
you can join us?

And know everlasting peace,
like none else.

The freedom you fight for
is an illusion.

Become one with us.

And know the true freedom of
one mind stretching right
across the universe.

[GRUNTING]

[GROANS]

Here'’s to your
everlasting peace.

[SCREAMING]

Here'’s to freedom of
one mind stretching
across the floor.

[SQUISHING]

[CHEERING]

Oh, I love these new bodies.
It feels so strong!

There'’s a whole new world
of new bodies out there...

with weak minds
and weak souls.

Just waiting
to be harvested.

[LAUGHING]

[DIALING]

[RINGING]

Yeah, Raleigh.
What'’s wrong,
where are you?

[LAUGHS] Now why would
anything be wrong?

I just didn'’t want you
to be worried about
your pride and joy.

You'’ve been gone all day.

Well, that'’s because
your mechanic tried to
high ball me.

Didn'’t think I knew his game.
But, you start talking
piston dynamics to these guys,

putty in my hands.

But she'’s in
good shape, right?

Oh, yeah, yeah, you bet.
She'’s in great sha...

What the?

[TIRES SCREECHING]

[LAUGHING]

God! Man!

Raleigh, what was that?

Uh, nothing. Just couple of
reckless kids with
no business on the road.

[BEEPING]

It was close but
nothing to worry about.

And I'’ll have your
pet chariot back
before you can say...

[TIRES SCREECHING]

Raleigh, what was that?

Uh-oh.

Uh-oh? Uh-oh what?

Johnny...

I think I hit a deer
or something, man.

Oh, man.

Well, whatever it was,
it must have crawled away,
because it'’s nowhere in sight.

It'’s weird.

It'’s like it just disappeared into thin air.

[CRACKLING]

RALEIGH: What the hell?

Oh, no!
Johnny...

I hit a guy.

He must have been
standing in the middle
of the road.

Is he okay?

Well, he'’s not
moving at all.

This is bad,
This is really,
really bad, Johnny.

Looks kinda weird.
Maybe he was
riding a motorcycle...

Although,
I don'’t see it around.

I'’m gonna have to
turn him over and
check for a pulse.

Be careful.
He may have a broken neck.

I know, I know, I know...

God! What a mess!

Look, where are you?

I'’m on the nine,
about a mile past
the 31 junction.

Whatever you do,
don'’t move him.

I'’ll call an ambulance.
I'’ll get there
as fast as I can.

Okay, yeah, you do that.

[DIALING]

Johnny, I don'’t know
if you can still hear me,
but that he'’s a "she."

What a she!

She'’s got a pulse!
It'’s weird, but she's alive.

Johnny? Johnny, you there?

[CRACKLING]

What the hell!

Don'’t you die on me, girl.
Just, don'’t you die on me!

[DIALING]

[SPEAKING ALIEN LANGUAGE]

I don'’t understand.

Do you speak English?

Hanglish...

Yeah...

I don'’t know if you remember,
but you took a
pretty nasty spill back there.

You hit me without warning.

And you were touching me.

I was checking you
for a pulse!

You have one but it
kinda sounds irregular.

We need to get you
to a hospital.

I don'’t know hospital.
I need to find
who I am looking for.

Where'’ my skim? My skim?

Your bike?
I didn'’t see one.

Look, you are a long way
from wherever it is
you came from.

You see, this is where
you'’re supposed to
tell me your name.

I am Zentare.

I'’m Raleigh.

Are you an
important man, Raleigh?

I'’ve done some
important things
in my life.

This is the most important,
because if you do not take me
where I must go,

many people will die.

Look...

I am capable of
forcing you to do it.

How would you like it
to be, Raleigh?

Okay...
Let'’s go.

[WIND BLOWING]

[BEEPING]

That looks like a
global positioning
satellite tracker,

but not like one
I'’ve ever seen before.

We must go forward
12 lon.

Fine. The hospital'’s
just up ahead.

You will not stop.
We will go forward 12 lons.

We need to get you x-rayed.

If you do not proceed forward,
I will dismember you
molecule by molecule,

and navigate this
primitive machine myself.

Now I'’m running
out of time.

You know what,
I'’m not buying the
Buck Roger'’s toy any more.

[BLASTING]

Exactly how many lons
to a mile, anyway?

[INDISTINCT RADIO CHATTER]

What kind of creep
calls in a phony life and death
cry for help.

The lowest kind of scum,
that'’s who.

Let'’s get out of here.

[ENGINE REVS]

[SCREAMING]

It'’s just up ahead.

Are you sure that thing'’s
working properly?

Because you'’ve been saying
it'’s just up ahead
for the past hour.

Look, why don'’t you tell me
exactly what you'’re looking for.
Maybe I can help you find it.

Some of your people must be
utilizing the same frequencies
as the men I'’m tracking.

You'’re some kind
of bounty hunter.

Something like that.

You'’ve got about ten seconds
to tell me
exactly what'’s going on

before I pull over.

In case you'’ve forgotten.

Then, use it.

Look, I am a tracker...
What you might
call a Marshall.

Three dangerous criminals
escaped in transit and
are carrying a very nasty drug.

If I don'’t find them
before they disperse,

many people will die.

And you'’re alone?

No backup?

That'’s right.

All right, I guess you'’re
in this shape cause of me,

but as soon as we locate
these criminals,
I call for backup. Deal?

Deal?

Uh... a bargain,
an arrangement.

Oh. Yes, we have a deal.

[GRUNTING]

Get off of me, man!

I need to know
some answers.

Get off me.
Take me back!

So when will you
have them?

Yeah, Dewie,
I need to know
what this stuff is.

Better time?

Yeah, well, do your best.

You'’re a musician.
You ever seen
this stuff before?

It'’s a drug.
What, you think all
musicians are drug addicts?

Sorry.

Yeah, some new
designer junk
the kids call "ambrosia."

We have no idea
where it came from,

but we do know
it makes heroin
look like bottled water.

Right now, there'’s an average
of five illegal clubs
operating every night.

Which means
this stuff gets to
a thousand kids a night.

It'’s turning them into zombies,
and when they don'’t get their
fix, they turn into animals.

That'’s my problem.

What'’s yours?

Raleigh was just in
an accident down at the 9.

And I think someone
was badly injured.

When the ambulance got there,
they couldn'’t find anything.

I told Raleigh
not to move the guy, but
something must have happened.

You don'’t think Raleigh
would have panicked?

What do you mean?

Maybe the victim died.
Maybe Raleigh panicked.

This could be
a hit and run, Johnny.

Obviously, you don'’t
know Raleigh.

Look, my car has LoJack,

What I need you to do is
find the current location of it,
I'’ll do the rest.

We'’ll do the rest.

[INDISTINCT TALKING]

WOMAN: Yeah,
we'’ll be here all night.All right, thank you.

ZENTARE: They'’re in there.

Looks like a rave.

ZENTARE: A rave?

RALEIGH: Uh...
an illegal dance club.

Let'’s get them.

Chasing convicts! Me!

Lieutenant?Yeah?

The vehicle has been spotted
in the warehouse district.
37 south of Market view.

Doesn'’t look good, John.
You tell me,

why would Raleigh
take a badly injured person
to a warehouse? Huh?

If that things goes off,
we'’re never gonna get in.

We'’ll handle it.

Twenty bucks a piece.

Forty bucks?
You got to be joking!

Do I look
like I'’m joking?

You... What do you
got under there?

Just these.

He was just
doing his job.

So am I.

[BAND PLAYING ROCK MUSIC]

[BEEPING]

Do you have any?

Have any what?Ambrosia!

Look, I'’m crashing.

No, no, I don'’t have
any ambrosia.

They'’re close.

What, are they
wearing electronic bracelets
or something?

No, these convicts
call themselves "Dracons."

They communicate with each other
sonically, using a
very specific frequency.

This device hones in
on that frequency.

[SONIC SOUNDS]

[SONIC SOUNDS]

Please! I need more.
I'’ll do whatever you ask.

I don'’t have time
for charity cases.

You have to help me!

Okay?
I just need a little.
That'’s all.

I'’ll do anything.

You'’ll sell your soul?

This guy will hook you up
with what you need.

Eric?

Eric, it'’s me, Julia.

I know I hurt you,
and I'’m sorry. I just...

I just need to feel right again.
Let me make it up to you.

Twenty bucks.

Uh, hi. We just came
to pick up our friend.

We won'’t take long.Twenty bucks.

I don'’t have time
for this, John.

[GRUNTING]

I'’ve had enough.
That knife is illegal, and
cops don'’t pay to get in.

You are right.

I promise you four minutes.
You go in through the front,
I'’ll find my way in the back.

Uh, John...

[ROCK MUSIC PLAYING]

I'’m getting two readings
in here.

But one of them is faint
like it'’s behind
a metal barrier.

How much you want for it?

It'’s not for sale.
If you don'’t mind,
I'’m in a hurry.

[LAUGHING]
Actually, I do mind.

I want your car.

When you left me,
I was lonely.

But now, I will never
be lonely again.

Tonight you will leave behind
the loneliness
of the solitary mind,

and join
the universal mind.

[SCREAMING]

You'’re not like the others.

You'’re a different voice
than one.
Come with me.

[GRUNTING]

[BEEPING]

Okay, I think it'’s time
I call for backup.
That was the deal.

We don'’t have
time for that.

What am I supposed
to do with that?

Defend yourself.

What? You never said
that they were armed.

Ready?No!

What happened to her?

Harvested.
We'’re too late.

describe it, Raleigh.

I'’ll explain later!

♪ Come on push it down

[SINGING INDISTINCTLY]

Stop! You'’ve got
nowhere to go, dracon!

Drop the orb!

Can'’t turn the tide, tracker.
Sweeps the universe.

And you are powerless
to stop it.

You'’re outnumbered.

[WHOOSHING]

How about I even the odds.

[SCREAMS]

You cannot stop
the immortals.

[MUSIC PLAYING IN BACKGROUND]

Yeah. [LAUGHING]

[GROANING]

Ah!

How did you find me?

Wonders of
modern technology.

Have you seen Zentare?

I'’m here.
They got away.

[SARCASTICALLY]
This is great. Just great!

[DOOR OPENS]

This is that backup
I was telling you about.

I must hold the dracons
to the master.
My cells are depleted.

I'’ll never be able to find them
without this, before they
rendezvous with Rhea.

[SIZZLING]

[WHIRLING]

Rhea...

She'’s stealing souls.

Feeding off them.

Stealing souls?

They'’re taking that girl's soul to her now so she can be replenished.

That'’s how she survives.

Yes, yes!
How did you know?

We'’re on the
same wavelength.

Wait, you can read
Rhea'’s mind?
Are you a touchay?

JOHNNY: What'’s a touchay?ZENTARE: A chosen one.

Never mind. I have to
follow the dracon.

No. I can cover
more ground from the air.

You two go find Briony.

Briony, oh, I almost
forgot about her!

Wait, this is my mission.

And this is my planet.

These guys are pretty rough.
I don'’t know if
you can take them alone.

I'’ll transmit to you
when I find her.

I have no idea
how I'’m gonna explain
all this to Briony.

The door was locked from
the outside. There'’s no way
she could have gotten out.

They'’re both gone, now.

Why did I become a cop?

I could have become a vet.
But then,
animals don'’t shoot at you...

What'’s the fun in that?

[BUBBLING SOUNDS]

I left her in here,
and now she'’s gone.
It'’s all my fault.

I would have
never found this.

Of course not.
You'’re only human.

Come on.

These pills must be
around half of the city.

Night Man...
Come in, Night Man.

Let'’s keep moving.

Look, before we go further,
I think there are a few things
I deserve to know.

Like, what exactly
are you?

[SIGHS]

I'’m zochapinion.
Similar to human,
only, more evolved.

More evolved?

ZENTARE:
Your friend, the Touchay

was correct when he said that Rhea was stealing souls.

She'’s been doing so
even before

your people learned
that smashing certain rocks
together created fire.

She and her dracon minion arrived on our planet, Arcedon, over a millennia ago.

She began by corrupting
our youth with her vile drug,

lulling them into
a blissful stupor, and when
the drug wore off

they became violent,
destructive.

They did anything they had to
to regain that sense of oneness
with the universe.

The more souls she acquires, the more potent her powers.

RALEIGH: So, that girl we saw back there isn'’t dead, she'’s in a coma.

ZENTARE: Yes, as millions
of my people were,

until we discovered
how to rid ourselves
of the pestilence.

RALEIGH: How?

ZENTARE: Rhea'’s dracon slaves are nothing without her.

They communicated with her
telepathically,

using frequencies in the brain that were foreign to our species.

We developed weapons
that fire
interfering frequencies

that cut the dracons off
from their source...

taking away their will to live,
but leaving the
host being unharmed.

Frequency of evil...

Of course.

RHEA: You have done well, my children.

We'’re here
but to serve you, Master.

And your services shall be rewarded.

We live through you,
as you live through us.

On this forbidden planet,
I find a new voice.

Hidden by the
custodians of time.

Master will mate
with this human?

We will plant the
seed of a new race
of immortals.

The soul.

Give me the girl'’s soul.

[RHEA MOANING]

RHEA: I'’m here, Night Man.

I am waiting for you.

Freeze!

Did you hear that?Yeah.

[STRUGGLING]

Hey! This is
obstruction of justice,
you know that.

Wherever Rhea goes,
she enlists new soldiers to
serve her rather large appetite.

Uh! And that'’s assault.

You are both in serious...
trouble.

We can'’t just let them take her.
You got to
think of something.

Sure. It'’s always up to
the alien.

Why don'’t you think
of something, little brain.

Little brain?
Okay, that'’s it.

Just because you two you think
you are all that,

let me tell you
something, sister.

We just need one
to get the job done.

Hey!

Yeah, I'’m talking to you two.
The mad monks
with the liquefied brains.

I suggest you let the woman go
before I turn you
into jiffy cup.

[SCREAMING]

Brilliant.

I like her.

Nice work.Yeah, no problem.

Listen, you wanna tell me
what kind of kids cult has
access to weapons like that.

It'’s kind of a long story.

Which we don'’t have
time to explain.Uh-huh.

And who are you?Inspector Zentare, Interpol.

We need your help, officer.

[MOANING]

I will have the chosen one.

Hello, Night Man.

Who are you?

Who are you?

Really?

I see a uniform

with a man hiding underneath.

And you see a beautiful,
young girl with a
goddess underneath.

You'’re no goddess.

You'’re a monster.

It'’s true.

Ah!

I have been
called a monster...

by many different people
in many different worlds.

But, it'’s so easy
to call someone a monster,
isn'’t it?

Someone a freak of nature,
an abomination.

You know what that'’s like,
don'’t you?

Night Man...

It'’s why you hide
behind the mask.

You have no idea
who you are and
what you'’re capable of.

There is so much
I can teach you.

Chosen one...
We will have all the time
in the universe for that...

once you'’re immortal.

Looks like another dead end.

But this is the way
they were taking you.
I don'’t get it.

BRIONY:
Maybe there'’s some kind
of secret door.

Why don'’t you join me?

No, thanks.
Besides, I don'’t like
the taste of ambrosia.

Do you honestly think
I need to drug a man
to seduce him?

That is what I'’m doing,
by the way.

Seducing you.

I don'’t like lizards.

Mmm, maybe it'’s the body.

Too young?

Yes, that'’s better.
I can see it in your mind.

There'’s nothing
you can hide from me.

You'’ve been reading minds
for such a short time.

I'’ve had an eternity
to practice.

Hey!

He'’s holding the orb.

Where you taking her?

To our master.

Master'’s not to be disturbed.

We'’ll take her.

Yes, we'’ll take her.

The master wants your soul.

Uh, guys?

Your friends are outside.

They'’ve come to kill me.

But I cannot be killed.

I am forever.

RHEA:
As you will soon be.

I will drink from your soul and you will drink from mine.

We will become
one and the same.

All that I know, you'’ll know.
All my dreams will
be your dreams.

And my immortality
will be your immortality.

[GRUNTING]

I don'’t wanna live forever.

And I certainly don'’t wanna
live forever with you.

Why do you fight it?
You can be the
master of all things.

Lord over this world
and all worlds
as once my people were.

When we ruled,
the universe knew peace.

No being was constrained
by the prison
of time and space.

It is your destiny
to unite them once again.

No more masks.

You first.

As you wish.

[MORPHING]

I am Rhea.

Mother of the universe.

I give myself to you.

My will is yours.

I have too much of it.

[SCREAMING]

[SCREECHING]

What the...

What are you doing?

Her powers are drained.
Her mental hold on you is weak.

You know who I am.
You know why I am.

There'’s something else...

How?

That which gives life
can take it away.

You fools! You mortals!

You understand nothing.

You are all just pawns
to the custodians of time.

They are laughing at you.
They are laughing now.

As they wait
the great experiment,

the fight between
good and evil.

Come with me, Night Man.

Refuse to grow old and die.

Refuse to play their game.

Refuse to fight.

I'’ve never been one
to walk away
from a fight.

Then watch your friends die!

[GRUNTING]

No one lives forever.

[SCREAMING]

We got to get out of here.

We still have to get the girl.
She'’s in one of those tunnels.

And Briony'’s just outside.

Okay, I'’ll take care of Briony.
You two get the girl.

[EXPLODING]

Get out of here, boys, now!

[PANTING]

What'’s going on?

We'’re getting you
out of here.

[CRASHING]

Eric... Eric, it'’s you.

Come on.

Let'’s go.

Don'’t look down.

I couldn'’t have done this
if it weren'’t for you two.

And as for you, touchay...

I still don'’t understand
what that means.

I'’ll tell you
what I know.

Long ago, on my planet
of Arcadon, we were
visited by strange beings

called the
"Custodians of Time."

Not exactly matter,
not exactly spirit.

They came to
deliver this message.

"We have helped you
to travel to the stars
because you are worthy.

"And we ask
only one thing in return.

"There'’s a planet in
the outer spiral arm
of the galaxy, called Earth.

"This planet shall
not be approached.
It is forbidden."

In our travels
to other worlds,

worlds which have
visited the forbidden planet,

we came across
legends about your people.

One of them was the
legend of the "Chosen ones."

According to the legend,

The Custodians of Time
gave powers to a few
chosen Earth dwellers.

These touchay would be
defenders of the faith,

warriors of virtue,
and perhaps,

one day, themselves,
become Custodians of Time.

Thanks.

Thank you... both.

[WIND BLOWING]

So...

how you gonna pay
for that ding in my car?

Yeah.
