Now You See Me Page #5

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.

This is Daniel Atlas. Can you hear me?

- Etienne? Are you okay?

- Yes.

Perfect. What do you see in there?

Money.

Is this real?

Yes. Looks like three million or so

Euros' worth.

(SPEAKS FRENCH)

Okay, now, here's what

we're gonna need you to do.

I want you to take the card that you signed

out of your pocket.

And I want you to take the ticket stub

from tonight's show

and I want you to put it right there

in the middle of the money.

Now drop it.

Now, on the side of your helmet

you should feel a button.

Don't press it just yet.

That button activates an air duct

that connects Paris to Las Vegas.

Okay, good. Now you can press it.

All right, now, Etienne, hold on tight.

You might feel a bit of a vacuum.

(CHUCKLES)

(AIR WHOOSHING)

(WHOOPS)

Whoo! (LAUGHING)

Oh. Wait a second.

- Huh.

(RUMBLING)

WOMAN:
Oh, merde.

(CHEERING)

(CHUCKLES)

(LAUGHING)

Thank you, Etienne. Thank you, everyone!

We are The Four Horsemen.

- And good night!

- Good night!

(CELL PHONE RINGING)

Hold up here.

Dylan Rhodes.

What? I don't think I heard you correctly.

Did you say magicians?

Yeah, Dylan, magicians.

Where are you now?

I'm at Aria.

I'm heading up there to grab 'em now.

FBI! Hands where I can see them.

Let's go. Get 'em up. Come on.

Uno minute.

FULLER:
Let's go. Get 'em up.

Put the book down.

Okay. You got me.

- Freeze! Hands in the air!

HENLEY:
(GASPS) Oh, my!

Do one of you guys

mind giving us a hand with our bags?

Let's go.

(PEOPLE APPLAUDING)

DYLAN:
Boss, please tell me this is a joke.

I just got Willy Mears

to finger Paulie Attanasio.

I'm a month, two tops,

away from blowing this whole thing open.

- Get Turkelson.

- He's in Atlantic City.

What about Cowan? Look at him.

He's just sitting there on his ass.

Hilarious, Rhodes.

I love you.

A**hole.

I don't have time for this magic crap.

This crap just pulled

three million Euro out of a Parisian bank.

- That's how much they got?

- Yeah.

Actually, 3.2.

- Who is she?

(MUMBLES)

Who are you?

Alma Dray from Interpol.

I'll be working the investigation with you.

You gotta be kidding me.

It's bad enough they got me chasing down

David Copperfield and Friends.

Now I'm being saddled with,

no offense, with Interpol?

I look forward to working

with you, too, Agent Rhodes.

I'm sorry. I don't think I'm gonna

need your help on this. Okay?

- Where's the French guy?

- I already spoke to him.

Oh, you did?

You spoke to my witness before me?

Your witness?

I thought you didn't want the case.

Besides, he's useless.

Oh, really? Why is that?

Because he believes their magic was real.

Oh, he believes the magic was real?

You're right, he probably is useless.
