[SCREAMING]

[TIRES SCREECHING]

[GRUNTS]

[WOMAN SCREAMS]

MAN: Are you gonna go gently
into that good night, Caleb?

Who are you?

Or are you going to rage,

rage against the dying
of the light?

[THUD]

Going somewhere, Caleb?

CALEB: Why has he sent you?

We had a deal!

MAN: Who told you
to make a deal?

Who told you
to k*ll those girls?

Are you
the Angel of Death?

I'’m not gonna ask again.

Who told you
to k*ll those girls?

Wait a minute.

I'’ve heard of you.

You'’re just a man.

Night Man.

I'’m the man who's gonna
send you to the gas chamber,
Caleb Callum.

No. I answer
to a higher authority.

[GRUNTING]

[GASPING]

[PANTING]

Caleb!

[THEME MUSIC PLAYING]

A terrified woman saw
an attempted carjacking

three floors below,
at approximately
2000 hours.

The guy left
a bloody handprint
on her windshield.

Now, when the patrol
checked it out,

they found this.

Who is he?

ID says
he'’s Caleb Callum.

Any evidence this man
is our serial k*ller?

The night watchman

saw a man
matching his description

leaving the m*rder scene

moments after
the girl screamed.

He did give chase,
but he lost him downstairs.

Find the Kn*fe?

No, but he did find this
in his pocket.

A lawyer'’s card.

A lot of good
that will do him.

I guess I don'’t need
to ask how he d*ed.

No, that'’s pretty
straightforward.

What isn'’t...
are these footprints.

Whoever did this took
a couple of steps forward

and disappeared.

That'’s not possible.

When you
exclude the possible,

whatever remains,
however improbable,

must be Night Man'’s doing.

One more enemy
of the people

k*lled by another.

REPORTER: When questioned
whether this m*rder

was connected to the now
infamous Gemini killings,

police officials refused
to connect...

[GLASS SHATTERING]Hey, hey, hey.

You gotta stop blaming
yourself here.

Caleb Callum
was a menace.

You'’ve probably saved
a lot of young women'’s lives.

I saw all the moments
in his life

that led up to him
becoming a k*ller.

His last image
in this world was me.

And then
the Angel of Death, right?

Where do you think
she has taken him, Raleigh?

Johnny, wherever
your dad is,

I am sure he'’s in
a much better place.

I felt like
I never knew him.

He had this look
in his eye.

It was kind of sad.

You know...

I think it started
when my mother d*ed.

The more
I think about him,

the more I remember him
always being that way.

[SIGHS] I never got
to ask him about it.

And Keyes...

stole that chance from me.

Hey, hey, hey.
Take it easy.

[GRUNTS]

What'’s this?

Let me take a look.

[SCOFFS] Some of the numbers
have been filed off.

It looks like he didn'’t want
anybody to find
what this belongs to.

Raleigh.Hmm?

Do me a favor.

That was...
That was great, guys.

I'’ll see you tonight?

Excuse me, Johnny.

Wondering of I could
have a word with you.

[RAPID BEEPING]

Voila.

My name'’s Jonah.

I work for Lucien Orcus.

I'’m sure you know
he represents

some of the brightest
talent around.

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

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

Johnny...

Let me be
honest with you.

Just like most humans

use only about
ten percent of their brain,

you'’re only using ten percent
of your talent.

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

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

Big agents always lose
track of the little guy.

Lucien'’s not like the rest.

He'’s a firm believer
in the individual.

You make a deal with him,

he'’ll see you through
to the finish line.

RALEIGH: Johnny.

Got the numbers.

Ah, good.

Sorry. I gotta go.

Nice meeting you.

Come by the office later.

Meet the man,

then make up your mind.

Who was that?

[DING]

WOMAN: Mr. Domino.

Mr. Orcus has been
expecting you.

Please follow me.

He'’ll be with you
in a moment.

Thanks.

You like '’em?

I didn'’t hear
you come in.

[LAUGHS]

No one ever does.

I painted these.

You have a lot of talent.

A lot of free time.

Don'’t get out much.

But I do know
how to spot talent.

Lucien Orcus.

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

Jonah said you were interested
in representing me.

Everyone on these walls
have talent.

Some use it better
than others.

I'’ve seen men
with a possibility
for greatness

fall into oblivion.

I'’m just a musician.

Ah, but you'’re playing
the wrong tune.

You should be playing
the music

of the spheres.

You should
be centerstage,

not some sideshow act.

I like the House of Soul.

But I'’ve never
seen you there.

Where'’d you hear me play?

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

I rely on good men
like Jonah.

He has a keen nose
for sniffing out

the true individual
in this sea of humanity.

Take a look at this.

What do you think it is?

A Derringer?

Look more closely.

It'’s the Derringer that
John Wilkes Booth used

to assassinate
Abraham Lincoln.

Good. [CHUCKLES]

Very good.

Lincoln used to say

that the ballot
is stronger than the b*llet.

I love irony.

How did you get
your hands on it?

One of the things I'’ve learned
over the years is that

everything
can be acquired.

It'’s just a matter
of price.

Not even a man'’s soul
is beyond bargaining.

Most people would gladly give up
that which they don'’t value

for an immediate gain.

Not everyone.Oh!

Everyone.

All you have to do is look
into a man'’s heart

to discover
that shadowy realm

where he holds his most
secret desires

and weaknesses.

I can give you all
the money in the world,

but that won'’t complete you,
it won'’t fulfill you.

I want you
to ask yourself this.

"What do I really want?

"What'’s missing
from my life?"

A headache?

Thanks for the offer.

I'’m not interested.

What you want is
a sense of wholeness.

To know who you are
and where you came from.

You'’ve always felt
as if there was
a piece of you missing.

What you'’re looking for
is that missing piece
that completes the puzzle.

A brother, perhaps.

To keep you company
on your journey through life.

[CAR LOCK BEEPS]

[ELEVATOR DINGS]

[OMINOUS MUSIC PLAYING]

Wait!

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

You'’re absolutely
positive?

Lady, I'’ve worked here
for five years.

And in all that time
I think I would'’ve noticed.

All right. Thank you.

Okay.

It must have been
a trick of light.

I mean, why would
the Angel of Death
need to take an elevator?

I don'’t know
if it was her.

Well, what about
this Orcus guy?

You think you gonna
sign with him?No.

Theres something
very strange about him.

What'’s that?

He'’s an agent, right?

I didn'’t get one
evil vibe off him.

Now that is strange.

When I did try
to pick up something,

all I got
was a searing pain.

He'’s definitely
hiding something.

[COMPUTER BEEPING]

We got a match

It was first issued
at Bay City National,

which became
Bay City Mutual,

which is now First National
Bay City Mutual.

It'’s for a safe deposit box.

Lieutenant?

That'’s it, Nance.
Gemini file
is officially closed.

No, Lieutenant,
I'’m afraid it's not.

[SIREN WAILING]

BRIONY: When did
this happen?

About two hours ago,
I'’d say.

Two hours ago?

Could this be
a copycat k*lling?

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

The witness confirmed
that Callum was the one

who ran from the m*rder
scene two days ago.

The blood on his hands
was the m*rder victim'’s blood.

But no m*rder w*apon.

This girl was k*lled
with a long bladed Kn*fe,
just like the others.

Wounds are identical.

BRIONY: Any solid evidence?

Couple of drops of blood
over here.

I don'’t know.
Could be his,
could be hers.

We'’ll do the tests.

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

later today.

Yeah. Yeah, you do that.

MAN: No one'’s been
to this box in years.

You'’d be surprised
by how many people

put their valuables
and keepsakes in here

and then just
forget about them.

Take your time.Thanks.

Here, you'’ll need
the key.

"Johnny Dominus."

"Paul Dominus."

"Cribnapping."

"Frank Dominus and wife Betty
woke in the morning
of the 25th

"to find their first born
and their ten-day-old
twin sons missing."

"Dominus child still missing."

"The child of Frank
and Betty Dominus

"continues to baffle
the Bay City Police.

"No leads at this time."

Hey, what did you find?

A brother.

Thought we'’d seen the last
of this kind of m*rder scene.

It'’s impossible.

It'’s highly improbable.

Night Man again?

No. No, not his style.

He'’s a menace,
not a serial k*ller.

What we'’ve got is a ghost,
with a big Kn*fe.

[CAMERA ZOOM WHIRRING]

And I don'’t believe
in ghosts.

There'’s been
another k*lling.

I know.
A college girl.

You picked that up?

I still feel it.

He'’s out there somewhere.

I feel his anger.

His hate.

You'’re talking
about k*ller Callum.

He d*ed on that
rooftop with you.

Maybe he'’s come back for me.

Come back for you?
How?

Ever since I saw into
Callum'’s mind,

I'’ve had these
voices in my head.

They'’re not
familiar voices,

but they'’re evil.

Okay. Well...

Maybe your mind
is being fooled

into thinking that his
memories are your own.

Caleb hated his father.

I loved mine.

I feel his anger
toward him.

Like he hurt me somehow.

He stole something
from me, Raleigh.

I became cold.

All because of a secret
locked away in some box.

Hey. Hey.

It'’s... It's all right.

Don'’t touch me!

I could have
a brother out there,

and he never told me.

My mother never
said a word.

She held it a secret
for so long,

that it k*lled her.

He probably had her
keep her mouth shut.

My dad
k*lled her, Raleigh!

He k*lled her!

Johnny, let it go!

[PANTING]

These feelings
aren'’t your own.

They'’re somebody else's.

[EXHALES]

I'’m sorry, Raleigh.

Oh, God.

I don'’t know what
got into me.

Maybe there'’s
some truth in it.

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

Well, then...

this was probably
the catharsis you needed.

I still need to know
if I have a twin.

LUCIEN: A brother.

To keep you company
on your journey through life.

I have to go see
Orcus tonight.

LUCIEN: Johnny Domino.

Welcome to Paradise.

What is this?

Early Cenozoic era.

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

of the modern,
urban metropoli.

This can'’t be real.

What is reality really?

A hodgepodge of perceptions
and preconceptions.

Come, join me.

I came for some answers,

not tea.

Everything has a price.

I don'’t deal with the devil.

[LAUGHS]

I'’m not a religious
man, Johnny.

Try not to confine yourself

to childish conditioning.

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

I tried that before.

I am you.

Your people and my people

are brothers
of the same cause.

And who are your people?

We are called...

Avatars.

Lords of Light.

Or angels, if you wish.

I sense darkness
all around you.

You'’re no angel,
or Lord of Light.

I chose to leave
the light...

eons ago.

[RINGING]

Yeah. Yeah.

Uh-huh. You sure?

Right.

AB negative.

Same blood type
as Callum.

The girl was O.

Same blood type,
shoe size, hair color.

Guy'’s still dead, huh?

Still dead.

We'’ve hit
one giant brick wall.

Now what?

We go over it again,
find the missing piece.

No, wait.

I'’ll go over it again
at home.

Go back to his house.
See if you can get anything
more out of his mother.


You got it.

Get a warrant.

LUCIEN: Observe this
body of water.

It appears to be
a thing in itself,
does it not?

It has mass and volume.
It is a pond.

Looks like a pond.

This pond was no more
than a hole in the ground,

before individual
drops of water

began to fall
one by one,

forming what you perceive
as a pond.

Not just one thing,

but a million things
co-existing side by side.

My people
perceive themselves

and all things
as being one thing.

One energy.

But you didn'’t?

I began to preach
the rights of the drop

over the rights
of the pond.

Most of my brothers
saw that as subversion.

But there were others
who saw the truth
of what I was saying.

They were saying,
"One light."

We were saying,
"One light, many colors."

Then what happened?

w*r. w*r of light
and sound.

It started
with a single note.

And another joined.

Soon, there was a chorus
of individual voices

crying for change,

resounding to the heavens.

And then another chorus
challenged the first.

Point, counterpoint.

It was glorious!

The longer the w*r
raged on,

the more separate
the two forces became.

What was once one,
became two.

Positive, negative.

Light and light.

You mean darkness.

Well, if that'’s
easier for you, yes.

Darkness.

And then what happened?

A violent thundering.

Then...

silence.

The Lords of Light won.

You and your
Lords of Darkness lost.

[LAUGHING] No!

The w*r raged on.

But on a different
b*ttlefield.

Where are we?

Not "where," "when".

Look.[WOMAN SCREAMS]

My mom.

Yes.

And inside her lie you
and Paul Dominus.

We can'’t wait
any longer...

JOHNNY: My dad.
He can'’t see us.

No, this is just
a slice of life,

a full dimension film.

I'’ll give you a moment
alone with her.

Doc says
you'’re gonna be fine.

It'’s okay.You don'’t have to pretend.

I'’ll be strong.
I'’m not afraid.

MAN: Frank.

Frank!

Who are you?

Think of me as your
guardian angel.

JONAH: There'’s a price.

FRANK: Name it.
Anything.

The price is the life
of your unborn child.

What kind of angel
are you?

Within your wife
lie two sons.

In order for
your wife to live,

you must sacrifice
one of them.

Two sons?

And if I give up one
my wife will live?

Then I choose my wife.

Okay.

Frank! It'’s coming.

You'’re the cause
of my dad'’s pain.

Your father made
his choice.

He paid the price.

Your hunch, Mrs. Callum?

I don'’t know why you people
keep coming back.

Can'’t you leave
a grieving mother alone?

Just doing
my job, ma'’am.

Ma'’am?

[CAR LOCK BEEPS]

[DOG BARKING]

NANCE: So you say your son
didn'’t go out much,

and this is where he spent
most of his time.

Yes.

This was his room.

That is the guest room.

Right.

The b*ttlefield
is in the hearts
and minds of mankind.

You see, all minds
are corruptible.

The trick is knowing
which buttons to push.

Take our young friend
Caleb Callum, for instance.

A perfect example.

You had Jonah
influence Caleb.

Jonah works in acquisitions.
He'’s very good at it.

You, I think,
could be even better.

You can already hear
the music of the dark light

resonating throughout
the ether.

What you choose to do
with this talent is up to you.

Then I choose
to silence it.

Mrs. Callum.

What'’s behind here?

Nothing.
Just a lot of junk.

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

Oh, no, no.
You mustn'’t.

He'’d be furious.

[SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC PLAYING]

LUCIEN:
Have you read the paper?

The cover story
is quite riveting.

JOHNNY:
This is tomorrow'’s paper.

Tell me who it is, Orcus.

Tell me who'’s gonna try
to k*ll Briony.

You have all the pieces.

Mm.

LUCIUS: Put them together.

And now we'’ve come
to the ancient doorways

to infinity.

The only price
for admission

is action.

You must make
a choice, Night Man.

Through the door behind me

is a shortcut to Briony,

where the k*ller is
at this very moment,

preparing to take her life.

You step through there,

you may have a chance
to save your friend.

Mind you,

only a chance.

And that door?

Through that door

is the ultimate price.

The missing piece

to fill the void
you'’ve carried
your whole life,

with all the knowledge
you could ever want.

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

[LAUGHS]

You don'’t.

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

I'’m not like you.

You'’re missing out
on a great opportunity.

I'’ll be back for you, Orcus.

Once you go
through that door

you can'’t come back.

I'’ll find a way.

[SINISTER LAUGH]

He came to us and said,
"Jacob, Caleb,

"if you choose
to punish the wicked,

"then you have
my blessing."

So we brought justice
to the wicked.

And you,
you, Briony Branca,
are the wicked,

and you must die now.

That wasn'’t God, Jacob.

Just an evil man.

Liar. She has to pay.

I'’m the one that k*lled
your twin brother.

Your God lied to you.

You k*lled Caleb?Yes.

And I understand your pain.

Now let her go.

No! No, you don'’t
understand nothing!

You! You are wicked!

You must be punished!

You okay?

Maybe I'’m not a bad guy.

Watch out.

[GROANING]

JOHNNY: Wait. Don'’t go.

Who are you talking to?

Orcus!

Where am I?

You lied to me.

Now I'’m standing
in an empty space.

Show yourself.

Whoever you are.

Here I am.

You'’re not real.

I'’m as real as you are.

I'’m Paul, your brother.

You'’re an illusion.

Just like the forest.

No, I am
what you really are.

What you'’re
longing to be.

You'’re the illusion.

Come.

Unite with me, brother.

And we can make the earth
tremble in darkness.

No!

[BOTH GRUNTING]

Give in to our desires.

Look around.

The bright day is done.

We are the dark.

This is survival
of the fittest, John.

And let'’s face it,
dark will always win.

WOMAN: No!

Truth will always win.

Calling something
light or dark,

good or evil,

is just dressing up the truth
that'’s always there.

[GROANING]

JOHNNY: What did I do?

He'’s my own brother.

He'’s not your brother.

Paul was just another
shadow among shadows.

Orcus saw that void in you

and gave you a key
to a box of illusions...

and lies.

Why did you help me?Why not?

I'’m already dammed here
for eternity.

Then this is hell?

[LAUGHS] No.

No, it'’s a prison for Orcus,

and those of us
who chose to follow him.

Why would you follow him?

He wasn'’t always
such a monster.

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

Why don'’t you escape?
Go back?

There'’s no escape
from this place.

[GROANING]

Well, well.

It seems we have a traitor

and a trespasser
in our midst.

I hope you found what you
were looking for, Night Man.

JOHNNY: More illusions!

You'’re a liar
and a traitor to humanity.

I represent individuality,

not humanity.

And for that my followers and I
have been imprisoned here.

I don'’t think so.

No on put you in here.

You'’ve made
this place yourself.

You know, I think I like you.

How would you like
to stay here...

permanently?

[SCREAMING] No!

Survival of the fittest.

[GRUNTING]

You'’ve k*lled her!

She chose her fate.

And you have chosen yours.

What is this?

The light has returned to me.

No. You have returned
to the light.

No!

Your darkness can never
again inv*de me.

The light has grown
brighter in our absence.

It is time for us
to return home.

Do not forget
what you have seen here,

because darkness
does surrounds our world.

You, the fight will continue.

We'’ll meet again on
the b*ttlefield, Night Man!
