The Shadow Page #4

But I am.

Lamont?

Lamont?

Lamont?

Oh, my God.

Good morning.

Good morning.

Oh, God, I dreamed.

So did I.

What did you dream?

I was lying naked on the beach

in the South Seas.

The tide was coming up over my toes.

The sun was beating down.

My skin was...

hot and cool at the same time.

It was wonderful.

What was yours?

I dreamed I tore all the skin off my face

and was somebody else underneath.

You have problems.

I'm aware of that.

I'll wait outside while you get dressed.

That's okay. You can stay.

These are all rumpled.

There might be some things

in here that you could use.

Yeah. This belonged to my aunt Rose.

- Really?

- Very fashionable gal, that Rose.

Kept her figure, too.

I've got to run. I've got a...

- Taxi waiting downstairs?

- Excuse me?

I sensed that's what you were gonna say.

It is, isn't it?

Yes.

This is getting easier the more I'm

around you.

You're like reading a book.

Thank you,

but I won't be needing that taxi.

- You do. I have a very important...

- Great. I'll come with you.

- No! Last night we agreed...

- No, I didn't agree to anything.

Do you mind if I get

one little sentence out here?

We agreed you were going to leave

this morning.

No, you agreed I was going to leave.

I agreed to no such thing.

- We need each other.

- No.

- We have a connection.

- No.

Then explain why I can read your thoughts.

- My thoughts are hard to miss.

- Why?

- Psychically, I'm very well-endowed.

- I'll bet you are.

Okay, so you don't need me,

but I need you to help me find my father.

And I am coming with you.

Okay.

Empire state building pennants!

Get your empire state building pennants!

From there to there.

That is just the explosion.

The destruction will be incalculable.

Good.

What a beautiful day.

Nice dress, toots.

- "Come on along and listen to..."

- Get me down!

Bobby! What are you doing?

I have no idea! Get me down!

- Get me down from here!

- "...The Lullaby of Broadway."

Get me down!

It's all falling into place for me now.

Shiwan Khan needs a beryllium sphere

to complete the bomb.

- I wonder where he intends to find one?

- Beryllium sphere?

Beryllium sphere! Farley Claymore!

- What's that?

- Farley Claymore, my father's assistant.

- He was working on a beryllium sphere.

- In your father's lab?

No, he was working on his own.

Mari-Tech labs, down on the south side.

- Good, very good.

- Get outta the way!

I got something else

I want you to do for me.

I was trailing Khan when I lost him on

the corner of Second and Houston.

There's something strange

about that vacant lot.

Find out what used to be there.

Second and Houston.

What about Farley Claymore?

Mr. Claymore's gonna receive

a little visit from the Shadow.

- Farley Claymore!

- Who's there?

Where is the beryllium sphere, Claymore?

Sphere?

What sphere?

Claymore, you idiot!

You're being manipulated.

Your mind is being controlled by hypnosis.

My mind? Controlled?

What have you done with the sphere?

It's too late. I loaded it on a truck.

Take me to it now!

Who do you think you're gonna

shoot with that, Claymore?

No one controls my mind, Shadow!

There's a new world order coming,

and I'm gonna be a king.

A king!

Margo.

Margo, I need you.

Open the door.

You called?

Lamont?

You're not supposed to be here.

Lamont?

You were dreaming.

You saw.

Do you have any idea...

what it's like to have done things

you can never forgive yourself for?

Whoever you were...

whatever you did...

it's in the past.

Not for me, Margo.

Never for me.

We are victorious!

And as victors,

we will collect the spoils of war.

I will remember each of you...

particularly my special servant...

the only American with genius enough...

to join me of his own free will...

who saw himself a king in my kingdom.

King? Did I say king?

- Maybe not the best choice of words.

- No, it wasn't.

Because actually,

I was thinking prince, tops.

Not even, necessarily. Duke? Baron?

Your choice, of course.

- Get Dr. Lane. Assemble the bomb.

- Of course.

In the name of the new Kha Khan!

The power of God on Earth!

The emperor of mankind!

Extra! Read all about it!

Madman threatens

to blow the city sky-high!

Residents of New York City

were thrown into a virtual panic today.

Police were still trying to determine if,

in fact, the threat was real...

or merely an incredible hoax.

Either way, surely the work of a madman.

Morning, Russell.

He's demanded works of art,

famous jewels, even gold.

Find Khan and you'll find the bomb.

What did you find out about that lot?

Not much. It was the site

of the old Hotel Monolith.

It was finished nearly 10 years ago,

but it never opened.

The Monolith. I vaguely remember that.

Seems that's the only way

anybody remembers it.

Before the hotel was completed...

the developer went bankrupt

and committed suicide.

The last record is a sale

to a Far Eastern buyer six years ago.

- When was it torn down?

- It doesn't say.

I made some calls this morning

to newspapers and such.

All anybody can remember

is up to the time it was sold.

Everyone seems to know

that it was torn down...

but they can't remember

when or by whom.

Or if.

I can't believe he did it.

Did what? Lamont?

My God.

It's beautiful.

What is?

Hey, that building right there.

What's the name of that building?

Lunatic!

Shiwan Khan has hypnotized

the entire city.

They don't see it.

None of them see it.

But I see it.

You and Shrevnitz

will receive your instructions.

- I want you to follow them exactly.

- Lamont!

Bet you wish you'd been a little nicer

to me now, don't ya?

Bet you wish you'd listened to my ideas.

Bet you didn't count on me being friends

with a conqueror, did ya?

That's enough. Activate the bomb.

Set the timer for two hours.

You are certain you could duplicate

this bomb's design anytime I require?

Absolutely. No problem.

That makes Dr. Lane obsolete.

Secure him in a room.

He will die at the hands

of his own invention.

Yes, my Khan.

I know you must have this covered,

but shouldn't we be getting out of here?

There's an aeroplane waiting to take us

all to safety. We leave in one hour.

What is it, Moe?

Is it another one from the bowling league?

Ying Ko.

The Shadow! Where?

Not here, you idiot. In the building.

Can you tell if he's mad at me?

We had a little misunderstanding

yesterday...

and there might still be hard feelings.

Find him and kill him!

Kill him? Me?

All of you!

Couldn't I just stay here and help you?

Go!

You guys, go that way.

Did you think you'd never see me again?

Claymore

I'm right here!

All around you.

Everywhere around you.

Coward.

Chicken! Sissy!

Come out here and fight like a man.

You're a fool, Claymore.

Get out of my sight!

There's your exit, Claymore.

You know what I love about this job?

The excitement.

Ying Ko. I surrender.

You're finished, Khan.

Phurba!

You are losing your concentration.

Your mind is too weak.

You are beginning to lose your power.
