The Shadow Page #4

Geez, I need gas.

Cut left. That's it.

Hey, thanks.

Look out!

This must be my lucky...

Call an ambulance!

Scott, you all right?

Hey, stay back! Stay back!

Help over here!

What's going on?

Inspector Cardon is in charge, sir.

He's over there.

Hey, what are you, crazy?

- Out!

- Thank you.

To the sanctum.

Go!

Come on, what are you gonna do,

park it here? Come on!

Hey, Louie, save that cab for me!

- Report.

- Our agent in the 26th precinct...

reports police investigation of murder

at the Museum of Natural History.

Murder.

Agent advises inquiry.

Understood.

I saw you as taller.

Who are you?

Shiwan Khan.

Last descendant of Genghis Khan.

You are naturally deeply honored.

Don't feel obligated to introduce yourself.

I already know who you are.

Not this temporary version of yourself.

I know who you really are.

Ying Ko.

I'm a great admirer.

I don't know what you're talking about.

Please.

It is no more difficult for me

to invade your mind than it was this room.

May I sit?

You are hurting my feelings, Ying Ko.

I should have thought you would enjoy

to meet another...

with the unique ability

to cloud men's minds.

- You were a student of the Tulku.

- Yes.

He spoke of you constantly.

But I'm afraid he wasn't able to

turn me quite as easily.

Would you happen to have

some American bourbon?

I have a bit of a taste for it.

- I'm happy to pay, of course.

- No.

Not at all.

Say, you didn't happen by any chance to...

pay a visit to the museum

last night, did you?

A wonderful collection

of Tibetan tapestries.

Grown men still shiver at your name.

You are, I have to confess, my idol.

Your raid on the village of Barga?

I studied it.

How nice. You remember it.

It rings a bell.

It was a masterstroke.

Swift, vicious, and sudden.

What genius.

So, what brings you to the Big Apple?

My destiny.

Genghis Khan conquered half of the world

in his lifetime.

I intend to finish the job.

And how do you plan to do that?

If I told you, it wouldn't be a surprise.

I traveled to this country

in Genghis Khan's holy crypt...

to absorb his power.

In three days,

the entire world will hear my roar...

and willingly fall subject

to the lost empire of Sianking.

That is a lovely tie, by the way.

- May I ask where you acquired it?

- Brooks Brothers.

- Is that Midtown?

- 45th and Madison.

You are a barbarian.

Thank you.

We both are.

I know that inside you beats

a heart of darkness.

You dip into it every time

you put on that hat and cloak.

Join me.

You are Ying Ko, the Butcher of Lhasa.

You and only you deserve to be

by my side.

Together, we'll pit armies against

one another like a chess game.

We'll collect our due of pain
