Now You See Me Page #2

Synopsis: Four magicians each answer a mysterious summons to an obscure address with secrets inside. A year later, they are the Four Horsemen, big time stage illusionists who climax their sold out Las Vegas show with a bank apparently robbed for real. This puts agents Dylan Rhodes of the FBI and Alma Dray of Interpol on the case to find out how they did it. However, this mystery proves difficult to solve even with the insights of the professional illusion exposer, Thaddeus Bradley. What follows is a bizarre investigation where nothing is what it seems with illusions, dark secrets and hidden agendas galore as all involved are reminded of a great truth in this puzzle: the closer you look, the less you see.

and get you, okay? Do not come in.

Hey, Danny! I'm not your assistant anymore.

Nice hair.

DANIEL:
So, um, actually,

what have you been up to?

I think you know exactly

what I've been up to, Danny.

I saw all your anonymous

posting on my website.

You have a website. That's good.

Good for you. Get the word out.

- Oh.

- Uh...

Okay.

So apparently none of us

was the only one chosen.

Let me be the first one

to kick my ego to the curb.

Yeah. Excuse me.

- Door's locked.

- Is it? I'll check.

You. Now, hold it, don't tell me. Uh...

Helen? No, no.

Henley.

It's on your coffee cup.

Thanks for keeping me honest.

That wasn't mentalism, by the way.

It was just an observation.

Second observation, you are beautiful.

Thank you.

That's good. That's very nice.

Very well-polished. Nice bit.

J. Daniel Atlas. Nice to meet you.

Very nice. I know who you are

and I just want to say that

I'm not interested in you doing

your mentalism thing on us.

Especially when we don't know

who brought us here or even if it's real.

Shh! Hold on, I'm sensing...

I'm sensing you

are a control freak.

I'm sorry, have we met before?

It doesn't take a mentalist

to figure that out.

You are a control freak.

Well, I take that as a compliment.

Only he would take it as a compliment.

Okay, great. Good. Another compliment.

Okay. So that's why

you're no longer a couple.

A couple? No, no.

BOTH:
We were never a couple.

He used to saw me in half.

She was a very good assistant.

But I was too fat for Danny.

No. I said that one time

because of the trap door.

- There were specs.

- You built it this size.

No one could fit through there. No one.

- Rebecca fit through.

- Ah...

Rebecca fit for years.

Do you know how hard it is to stay

in those tiny little costumes?

No. I'm the main attraction.

Okay. So he never made you feel special.

And, trust me, you deserve

to be made to feel special.

That's a really nice story.

Hope you guys enjoy each other's company.

No way.

J. Daniel Atlas?

Dude, I've seen everything

that you have ever done.

You're like...

I idolize you. Seriously.

From a true fan. It's so nice to meet you.

I'm Jack, by the way.

Question. Did you get one of these?

Yeah. Death.

The High Priestess.

I'm the Lover.

(COUGHS) Three minutes.

Hermit.

So, what are we...

Are we waiting for someone?

- Why are we just...

BOTH:
- The door's locked.

Oh, no, nothing's ever locked.

Hmm.

HENLEY:
What is this place?

- Ugh!

MERRITT:
- Oh!

Wow. Thought my apartment was nasty.

JACK:
Man, it's freezing in here.

HENLEY:
What's that?

I don't know.

MERRITT:
What's it say?

"Now you don't."

"A rose by any other name..."

(DANIEL LAUGHS)
