Now You See Me Page #6

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.

Is it okay with Interpol

if we talk to him, too?

- Mm-hmm.

- Thank you.

I have never stolen a

thing in my life, okay?

I tried to give the money back,

but they won't take it.

Okay, okay, okay,

let's just say you robbed a bank.

I did.

Fine. Fantastic. You did.

But since I'm new to this,

can you explain to me how you went

from Las Vegas to Paris in three seconds?

With the teleportation helmet.

Okay, what the hell is going on here?

He was hypnotized during the show.

I told you, he's useless.

Okay, I'll deal with you when I'm done

with this other bullshit.

(CLASSICAL MUSIC PLAYING)

Hey!

FULLER:
During the show,

half the audience was hypnotized

to believe they were in the Philharmonic.

I guess that "bullshit"

was the trigger word.

Okay. Hey, hey. coutez.

Etienne, come on down from there.

You're not in the Philharmonic.

- How do you say "stop" in French?

- Stop.

Tell him to stop.

No, I can't. You just have to

let him finish his movement.

Okay, I need a time-out.

Too many French people in one room.

- Agent Rhodes!

- Huh?

I'm ordered by my bosses

to provide a report.

And until we have one, I'm

here, like it or not.

So we can work together,

or you can continue to follow behind

asking the same exact questions I'm asking.

It's up to you.

(SNORING)

Hmm.

I'm not finished.

I just flew 12 hours,

after what was already a long day.

And I do not handle jet lag well.

So if you want to see who can be grumpier,

- I promise you, you will lose.

- Hmm.

Mm-hmm. Fine. So which one of these idiots

do you want to talk to first?

Him?

Dylan, for the record,

mentalism has never actually

been proven to be accurate.

Okay.

That is to say, that it's not a science.

It's more for entertainment.

All right.

Just don't believe everything the guy says.

That's all.

Please convey my deepest apologies

to your colleague out there.

I'm really sorry about this

whole Tranny Tuesday thing.

I was out of line.

Tranny Tuesday?

Well, it's an arrangement

he and his wife have.

Or might not have, if you believe

everything Agent Fuller

is saying to be correct.

But isn't there a proud tradition

in the FBI of men wearing dresses?

No shame, Agent Fuller. No shame.

(LAUGHS) I'm just having fun.

Was this your card? No.

See, I knew you weren't

a queen of hearts lady,

and I respect that.

The trick usually works better

when I'm not strapped in here,

but I understand protocol.

Okay, okay.

So, if you had nothing to do with it,

then how did

the playing card get into the vault?

Oh, yes. That would be...

What do the kids call it these days?

Oh, yes, that's right. Magic.

Just answer the question, okay, smartass.
