(crowd chanting)

- Did you think we abandoned you?

Or that we'd run out of magic?

Well, think again, ladies and gentlemen, because you are about to be amazed.

If you're here right now, then you have followed the clues and cracked the code.

(crowd cheering)

Congratulations and welcome.

It's been 10 years since the horsemen last appeared, but we are back.

(crowd cheering)

Okay, so come in close, closer, because the more you think you see,

the easier it'll be to dress up old tricks and fool you that they are new.

(crowd cheering)

So my name is J. Daniel Atlas, and allow me to speak as I often do

for my less charismatic colleagues when I say, "Whew, it is very good to be back.

" (crowd cheering)

Yes, yes, we vanished for a while, but in the world

of magic, everything that disappears reappears.

Well, at least if the trick is done right.

(crowd cheering)

- I'm Aaron McKenny.

Unlike my very good buddy here, Danny,

most of you checked your egos at the door tonight.

You found this little underground soiree because you wanted to get fooled.

- Hey everyone, I'm Jack Wilder.

(crowd cheering)

Wars, demographics, climate change, AI.

Let's face it, y'all need magic more than ever.

(crowd cheering)

I want you to pay very close attention.

You are not gonna want to miss this next trick.

(crowd cheering)

- Hemley Reeves, now Hemley Reeves, Scanlan.

Three kids, two dogs, and a master's degree.

It's been a while.

Did you miss us?

(crowd cheering)

- It does look great back in the day.

I used to want to be a magician.

Then I turned 12.

- Careful, they might be listening.

- Ooh, I'm shaking in my All Saints.

- What are they gonna do?

- Is that real gold?

- What?

- Is that real gold?

- Yeah, I'm rich.

- This is a magic show, dude.

Every fool here is a pickpocket.

Or a pickpocket's fool.

(crowd cheering)

- Was that a haiku?

- What was that?

- Each of you just received a playing card.

If you wouldn't mind pulling it out.

- Great, now we're gonna shuffle the deck.

So everybody find a random person near them.

And switch cards with them.

And then when you've done that, find somebody else and switch with them.

- Okay, great.

Now, oh, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.

You there, down there.

Yep.

What is your card?

- Ace of diamonds.

- Ace of diamonds, okay.

Let's make things a little more complicated here.

Does anybody else here have the ace of diamonds?

- What do you mean?

- Ace of diamonds.

(crowd cheering)

- Looks like we have a fifth horseman not named Lula.

- Come up on stage, you're gonna be our elbow.

(crowd cheering)

- Now, look into my eyes.

And, sweetly, still got it.

Now this might look like an ordinary kid to you,

but tonight he is going to do extraordinary magic like a man possessed, literally.

Henley.

- Yes, Merrick?

- Would you mind stepping inside his body?

Yep, and Jack, why don't you throw yourself on in there too?

- It's what I do best.

- And, oh, God help you.

Atlas, why don't you slither on inside as well?

And I might as well wedge myself in there too.

- It takes a village to make magic.

(crowd cheering)

- J Daniel Atlas in the house.

So, who wants to see a magic trick?

(crowd cheering)

Take it away, Merrick.

- Hello, you beautiful people.

Now, everyone knows that Merrick the Kenny reads minds.

Well, now, I'm him.

- Or he's me, who knows?

- I'm sensing someone came here tonight, not to enjoy magic, but to tear it down.

Is there a Brett Finnegan in the house?

- What up?

(crowd cheering)

- Now, you and your friends here set up the Camp Hobart crypto exchange.

- What about it?

- Yup, took the good people of New York's

employee pension and welfare fund half its cash.

- You're rounding up.

And also the risks were laid out very clearly.

Everybody knew what they were getting into, dude.

- Did you hide the profits offshore?

- Count.

- Ending in five, three, two, nine, seven.

- Ha, ha, ha, you couldn't know that?

Now, my.

- Is this real gold?

- Brett, you oughta be more careful with your things, man.

I'm married to a psychic, but me, Jack, I'm in the sleight of hand.

Ask your friends, they just done their part to close the wealth gap.

- What, what the fuck?

- Now, here's a little redistribution.

- Hey, hey, hey!

- Thank you, thank you.

- Wire up, dude, I'll kick your ass!

- Uh-oh, someone forgot Henley can fly.

(dramatic music)

- We can take it from here, but a round of applause for the best sportsman on stage.

- Fantastic, so everybody, I want you to take your drink,

and I want you to pour it onto the face of your card.

Can you do that?

- Those 12 unique words on each of your cards

form the password to your new crypto wallet.

- Oh!

- Log on and you'll find Brett's stolen millions more fairly redistributed.

- Oh my God, 50, 50,000 bucks, 50,000 bucks!

(crowd cheering)

- You're freakin' done, dude!

- Oh, whoa, cool your head, gingerbread, 'cause I am having a vision.

Maybe cops are gonna come bursting through that door.

- So perform a magic trick of your own and disappear in three, two, one!

(crowd cheering)

- Now come in close, closer.

Because the more you think you see, the easier it'll be

to dress up old tricks and fool you that they are new.

- Oh, oh my God, no.

No!

No!

(dramatic music)

(sirens blaring)

- Look, in my opinion, I think you did a great job.

- I think my atlas was good, my Merrick would probably do some work.

- It's like a San Diego stoner and a shrimp boat captain had a baby.

- Sure.

No, seriously, Bosco, I don't know how you do it.

- A good impersonation isn't just about the mimicry,

it's about attention to detail, personality, and nuance.

- Okay, okay, let me try, let me try.

- I'm J Daniel Alex, the closer you look, the less you see.

- It was something.

- You'll work on it. - That wasn't bad!

- That was a good start, but could use some work.

- Sure.

What do you keep looking at?

- Nothing, nothing, nothing.

- Dude, cheer up.

- Guys, come on, look at us.

Look at how far we've come, we totally scored tonight.

- All right, next time you wear the pink wig, okay?

- Yeah.

- Dude, it's locked again.

- Okay, I'll pick it.

- Wait, wait, wait, hold on, do the thing.

- No. - Please do the thing.

- It's so unnecessary. - I'll hold your bag.

- So unnecessary. - Come on, it's fun.

- Okay.

- You got this.

- She's like a little Mario.

- She is like Mario.

- Careful, careful, you okay?

- Yeah.

- If I could do that, I would only do that.

- So cool. - It's insane.

- Happy?

- Yeah, that was awesome.

- Please let us in, it's cold.

- Best apartment in the whole city.

- Yup, and no one will ever see it but us.

- Such a shame.

- That guy is so screwed.

He was rich now.

- Charlotte, can you turn that thing off, please?

I think I've had enough Atlas for one night.

- Yeah, I gotcha.

- Lasko, can you check for pizza?

I'm so hungry.

- Me too.

- No pizza, but we got beer and nope, literally just beer.

- Any takers?

- Yeah, I'll have one.

- Dude, seriously, turn that thing off.

- I did.

Okay, real funny, guys.

Where's the other projector?

- I'm not a hologram.

- I'm not a hologram, right, yes.

Exactly what a hologram would say.

Oh my God, you're real.

- Never touch my face again.

- I'm so sorry, I thought that you were a hologram.

I would never do that.

I'm a huge fan of yours.

How are you?

How did you find us?

- I don't know, took me about 30 seconds.

And if it was this easy for me to find you, how hard would it be for the police?

- Well, hold on, the police?

- Yeah, the police.

- Why would the police be looking for us?

- I don't know, what about that little heist you just pulled?

Or the fact that you're squatting in this place

so that your electricity comes from the circuit box

in the corner, I don't know, it could be anything.

Am I right, Bozo?

- Bosco, Bosco Leroy.

- That's right, yeah, Bosco Leroy.

What did you type a fictional magician name into Chachi PT?

- Oh, that's actually my real name, Atlas.

Would your mom have sex with a map?

That's not funny.

You don't know anything about us, do you?

- I know everything about you.

The dubiously named Bosco Leroy.

Promising acting career cut short by crippling student loans

since a bummer you had to drop out of Juilliard, but you never stopped performing.

If memory serves, your last paid gig, I think, was dressing as Elmo in Times Square.

- First of all, I've never Elmo.

It's the red teletubby.

- Po, what?

- The red teletubby, her name is Po.

- Oh, Po, she's my favorite one, that's cool.

- Her name is Po.

- Cute.

- And you, June McClare.

Kicked out of every boarding school your parents forced you to attend.

Not a big fan of authority, I take it.

Let me guess, you think the olds broke the planet

and it's your generation's duty to clean up their mess.

Am I right?

- Am I wrong?

- No.

And so you ran away from home, made your way to New York,

where you ran into this guy at Tannen's Magic Shop, Charlie Gies.

- Yeah, hi.

- Yeah, hi.

Actually couldn't find a lot about you online, although I do know

you were an orphan, I knew you were in and out of foster care

your entire childhood and that you didn't know

the meaning of family until you hooked up with these two.

And so the three of you have been working your little Robin Hood act for years now,

trying to change the world one trick at a time,

all leading to your riskiest theft to date, my identity.

- You were there?

- You had our faces plastered on every scaffolding and subway stop in the city.

That's copyright infringement, by the way, of course I was there.

So what'd you think?

- I think your merit needs work.

- I knew it.

- That's a sensitive topic, you don't even get it.

- But overall design was impressive, and that's you,

I assume, the quiet guy, textbook behind the scenes.

- Yeah, Alexander Herman, he said that the people

who designed his tricks were the real geniuses.

- The fact that you know that man's name, behind the scenes, clearly.

And you, your sleight of hand was advanced,

good dexterity, you're quick and nimble on your feet, really, I was impressed.

- Thanks.

- You're welcome.

- Sounds like we're pretty great.

- You're far from it, but maybe with a little fine tuning you could be.

Yeah, I could see why the eye sent me to you.

- I'm sorry.

- Did you say the eye?

- Yeah, the eye.

All right, listen, this card arrived at my apartment

three weeks ago, along with four plane tickets

and instructions hidden in the lining for a trick

bigger and better than anything you have ever seen.

A trick that for some reason includes the three of you.

- Us, why not the other horsemen?

- The other horsemen are dead.

- What?

- To me, they're dead to me, stop interrupting.

No, things got emotional, everyone quit,

I took a walkabout in Australia, it's a long story.

- And now you need us.

- According to that card, yes.

- Well, we don't need you, so.

- Bosco.

- What do we need this guy for, we're crushing it.

- You're crushing it?

You're stealing a little money from some crypto

bro, I am talking about big fish here, man.

I'm talking about something that will make a real difference.

I thought that's what you kids are all about.

- It is, you know, exactly, yes we are.

- Yeah, but I think we can catch our own fish.

- You can?

- No, no, good luck with that.

No, can you just wait one second?

What are you doing, what's going on?

Are you out of your mind?

- This is Jay Daniel Atlas.

- Yeah, I know who he is.

- He's a frickin' legend.

- He was a legend, now he's just kind of a dick.

Can you-- - Yeah, sure, Bosco, he is kind of a dick, but he is a horseman.

I mean, come on, just trust us on this, please.

- Okay, decision time kids, what's it gonna be?

Are you in?

Or are you out?

- What's the trick?

- Welcome, esteemed community members, valued press, friends and colleagues.

We are gathered here tonight to celebrate Vandenberg's latest and greatest mind, C3,

or as we like to call her, our Mahle, Zulu for the beautiful one.

Because every child is beautiful in the eyes of its mother,

our customer can rest assured that when they buy the world's

greatest symbol of love, that it was produced with nothing but.

To our Mahle, and to all of you.

- Well, thank you all so much for making the trip out here.

Now, I take it you're all impressed by a Mahle, sorry, C3.

- Oh, it's quite dramatic.

- Yeah, it's amazing.

- But I also understand that you have chosen this fine day

to broach some concerns, which contrary to

expectations, are don't begrudge, fire away.

- Right, well, the board feels that projections

might be optimistic, with increasing competition

from lab grown, and in the event borrowing rates climb.

- William, my father loved you, but there was a reason he called you his dark cloud.

Ah, shame.

The Vandenberg family does not lose.

As you're well aware, our motorsports team just won

the Monaco championship for the seventh time.

The Mahle will produce.

Next?

- Right, pricing.

The minimums that you've set for--

- Will you humor me, William, in a demonstration about reality?

This diamond is, say, what, 35 carats.

The AWDC would price it at three million US dollars.

William, will you open your mouth and stick out your tartar?

Now.

- Really?

- Really.

(suspenseful music)

Now, if William here were to swallow it,

that selfsame diamond would tear his throat to shreds.

He would bleed to death before paramedics arrived.

So to the AWDC, it's three million, but to William, priceless.

Tell me then, as the CEO responsible for the world's last great diamond mines,

should I undercut our profits or should I choose

prices that I know our unique clients will pay?

As I thought.

Now.

Unless there are more concerns, I would like to head

to Antwerp with my price list and show off our stones.

- Uh, you know, you probably could have led with free trip to Europe.

- You know, a little known fact about Antwerp is that--

- Oh, great, more magic trivia.

This is fun.

- No, I was just gonna say that they make great biscuits.

- Oh, do they?

Can we actually get some, please?

- On Atlas, obviously. - No, no, no.

I'm not getting you biscuits.

I just got you chocolates, okay?

All right, listen, this is not a vacation, okay?

We have three days to prepare an effect

that'll make your barely passable Pepper's Ghost Rift look like a cave painting.

All right, come here.

The heart diamond, the most valuable jewel in history,

and the foundation of the Vanderburg Mining Corporation.

Now, for years, the families kept this big rock

hidden inside their secret vault, 70 stories underground.

And not just any ground, the Arabian Desert.

No one beyond their most trusted team has been inside.

Access through a single elevator constantly monitored by armed guards.

- Identity verified.

- And behind a multi-level biometric security system.

But the world will be watching, because for the first time

in half a century, that diamond is being traveled here.

To Antwerp to establish credibility and to start bidding at a private auction

for the company's latest finds in three days' time.

- Okay, obviously I'm down for stealing, but what makes this diamond so special?

- Well, because the magical tarot card called us to June, right?

- Yeah, okay, that's very cute, but can I please finish?

- You're not finished?

Jeez, you've been talking forever.

- Yes, and I'm about to talk more, so please pay attention.

For decades, first Peter Vanderburg,

now his daughter Veronica, have been selling these diamonds

at inflated prices to arms dealers, traffickers,

warlords, the world over to help launder their money.

So I mean, the cash is dirty.

I mean, in some cases, it's literally blood-soaked, but then

voila, it's cleaned in exchange for these precious stones.

She makes all the world's worst people possible.

- So whoever sent that tarot card--

- Are the few truly honorable people left in this world,

the only people that still care about justice.

They're people I haven't spoken to in a long time.

They call themselves the Eye, and they want us

to do something that the horsemen never could.

- This, man, this is a chance to drive a

stake through the heart of the devil herself.

- Let's do it.

- All eyes will be on me and the heart tonight at the auction.

I have to look dazzling.

Do you have that Kitten Kiss color?

Let's have both.

- Yes.

- Straw, who's that British photographer from Vanity Fair?

- What's his name again?

- Mark, Mark Schreiber.

- Schreiber, good God.

- Schreiber.

- Confirm him, cancel the others.

We went wild last year.

This year, exclusivity.

- All right.

- We're open, transparent.

We have nothing to hide.

- Okay, perfect.

I'll have it done.

- This is Veronica.

♪ Hush, little baby, don't say a word ♪

♪ I was born to buy you a mockingbird ♪

♪ And I've done wrong, bird, don't say ♪

- How did you get this number?

This is a private line.

And that was a bit tone deaf.

I'll ask who you are.

- Ah, Veronica.

The storage unit to your left.

Look familiar.

It belonged to that boy who died 15 years ago.

- This means nothing to me or anyone.

- Really?

You and I both know what you did.

- Look, if you have real evidence and you're out to get me, why not just use it?

- 15 years ago, you took what your father loved most.

Now, I'm going to do the same to you.

I want the hot diamond.

You're going to give it to me.

Or I'm going to hold up a looking glass for the whole world to see you as you are.

- Go ahead.

I have nothing to hurt.

- Oh my God, I'm so sorry about that.

Hi, can you help me find this?

I've been looking literally for an hour.

- Yes, it's going to be right over there, ma'am.

- Mark Schreiber, James Wynn, Vandenberg PR.

Huge admirer of your work.

- James, it's up to Danny.

- Oh, Danny, yet sadly we had to let her go.

Turns out she was racist.

Then also, she booked you into the Radisson blue in a partial view double.

Thankfully, I took the liberty of moving you to the front.

- I do love the front.

- Yes, the residential suite is befitting of, well,

presidents and talented photographers like yourself.

Your gal invitation has been rerouted.

If I could just check your confirmation.

Thank you.

I also bumped your chute from seven to nine

PM to give you proper time to make your magic.

- Someone gets it.

♪ My heart wide open, so turn on the lights ♪

♪ I shine even more bright like a diamond ♪

- Take for instance diamonds created in laboratories.

They purport to have value, but they're neither natural nor red.

What honest woman wants a falsehood on her finger?

- I'm to the green.

- One of the great truths left is the power behind a natural gem.

Real diamonds fill people with passion as they have for centuries.

- That's right.

In fact, Marie Antoinette wore the Hope Diamond for a single day.

And a month later was dragged to the guillotine

by some very, as you say, passionate folks.

- Marie Antoinette didn't die because of a diamond.

She died because of a monstrous lack of empathy.

And truth is she never even wore the Hope.

People just believe she did.

- Really?

That's kind of interesting.

So it was not the mob that killed her and it was not the guillotine.

It was a story.

- I must not know my own guest list.

Are you in the diamond business?

- No, no, I'm in the illusion business, like you.

See, for centuries, diamonds were worthless

until some very smart, very rich people like Veronica here

told us that not only are these little shards of glass rare,

but that no self-respecting couple could possibly get married with that one.

No, that one is a good magic trick.

The problem with the trick is all the good ones have a little twist in the tail.

- Is it you?

- It's with me.

- Of course not.

- No, no, I mean, you wouldn't have let me in

had I not demonstrated the finest moral fiber like some of your other guests.

I noticed Luis Preseno, the arms dealer over there.

Hello, sir.

And of course, Maria Bortnick when starstruck, how she

manages to mingle while monopolizing her state media.

- Perhaps you care to reveal yourself.

Then we can apply the same scrutiny to you.

- Not just yet.

I'm sorry for interrupting.

- That won't be necessary.

Let him eat cake.

Mark Schreiber.

- Veronica Vandeberg.

- Let's make this quick, shall we?

Our auction begins shortly.

I trust you can do me and the heart justice.

- Yes, I only have one rule.

What I say goes.

- Well, I'm sure I can find my submissive side.

- Well, if not, I'll find it for you.

- Oh, I like you.

- Right this way, darling.

- I don't want to be too matte.

- Sure, sure, sure.

- But I don't like the sides of my nose shining.

Show me.

- Excuse me, can the little fruit fly in my shop?

Please shoo, shoo, shoo.

Thank you.

The only thing more valuable than that diamond is my time.

I did my research on you.

Your industry, like mine, is besieged by manufacturer

law, but you, you bring us beauty as it is.

We're alike America.

We don't sell contrivance.

We sell reality.

- Well, I would argue that we don't sell at all.

Others buy.

- Let's see.

The diamond, take it out.

- Aye, boy.

Absolutely not.

- The glare in the glass from all the photos.

I don't tolerate imperfections.

I don't imagine someone as ravishing as Miss Vanderburgh does either.

So take it out or find yourself a new photographer.

(laughs)

(dramatic music)

- In truth, I was hoping you'd ask.

- I don't remember asking.

There it is.

Beautiful.

Work it.

Fabulous, fabulous, fabulous.

Beautiful.

- Yes, I'm smiling, we're having fun.

- This is what we came for.

Hold it, hold it.

That's the money shot.

Hold it.

And you, ma'am, are far enough.

- I'm just trying, I'm trying to help.

Her forehead is shinier than the diamond.

They're actually doing my job.

I don't give orders from you.

- When it comes to the heart, you listen to me.

Get out.

- I can walk myself.

Thank you.

- Mr. Schreiber, if you're all you purport

to be, you should already have what you need.

- More than enough.

Thank you.

- Excellent.

Well, it's been a pleasure, but I have buyers waiting.

- The hell, what happened?

- Time to take off, let's go.

(dramatic music)

- At last, the auction we've all been waiting for.

Now, if you're here tonight, you probably think you've seen everything.

So it is to you that I ask, everything?

(audience applauding)

- It has not been seen in person for a quarter of a century.

Still the largest diamond ever discovered, the heart.

(audience applauding)

- Congratulations to all of you and for getting away with it for so long.

Well, guess what?

Climate change doesn't believe in you either.

You tore your fortunes from our mother earth,

set fire to her skies and your private jets.

- Yeah, she gets it.

- Let her dry with your insatiable- - Young man, we all want to save the world here,

but time is also precious and you're wasting mine.

(laughing)

- Zip it, sparkles.

Why don't you stop sucking on plastic straws and suck on this?

(crashing)

- Honored guests, my name is Jay Daniel Atlas.

You may remember me as your personal favorite of the four horsemen of magic.

Now watch closely as I make the famous heart diamond appear on my palm.

- Gee whiz, he must be as starved for attention as Greenpeace here.

(laughing)

Rest assured that the diamond is completely safe.

- Is it?

Now a wise man once told me, in the mirror in fact,

never assume you're the smartest person in the room.

Prove it.

- Be my guest.

- All right, well, let's see if we can get that case open.

- Abracadabra.

- Huh.

- Nope.

Alakazam.

Wait.

Open sesame.

- Still safe with me?

(glass shattering) - Relax.

Relax, Veronica.

Now as your ads like to remind us, diamonds are forever.

- Get you to safety.

- Yes, sir.

Stop it.

Stop him.

- Jack.

- Hey.

- What are you doing here?

- Saving your ass.

- You're welcome.

- You got one too.

- Hi, I'm June.

- Yeah.

- Who's she?

- Sorry, she's with us.

- Where is the diamond?

- What?

(dramatic music)

- Yes, I guess you guys don't care about the environment.

Stronger than you look.

- Hey.

(dramatic music)

- Hey, hey, hey.

Stop.

Don't let them get away.

- Okay, what now?

My cards are sent to get you out of there, out of the hole.

(dramatic music)

- Henley Reeves?

I have so many posters of you.

- Okay, all right.

- My childhood vendor boy later.

But it does, you know, it is really nice to see you.

- Fan boy later.

We gotta go up.

(dramatic music)

- Put your hands up and don't move.

- This is some bullshit.

- What is happening?

- Beethoven's concerto in D major.

- Bullshit, bullshit, bullshit.

- Whoa, Merit?

What the hell was that?

- Atlas, I would like to see you hypnotize three dudes in Belgium.

- You mean Flemish.

- Okay, that explains it.

- Lovely reunion.

We have to go.

- Henley Reeves, welcome back.

- Thanks.

- And may I say you are- - Okay, come on.

Let's go.

- Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

I was paying her a compliment because it was nice to see her and only her.

- We get it.

(dramatic music) - Up there.

(dramatic music)

- Whoa, whoa, whoa, is that far out?

- Do you see any other people trying to escape?

- Come on, come on.

- Whoa, whoa.

(dramatic music)

(grunting)

(dramatic music)

(dramatic music) - Yes.

(dramatic music)

- Come on, come on.

(dramatic music)

Come on, come on, come on.

- It was in my hand the whole time.

It never- - They didn't swap the diamond.

- They swapped the case.

- And you, ma'am, are far enough.

(dramatic music)

- Why don't you stop sucking on plastic straws and suck on this?

(dramatic music)

(dramatic music)

- Honored guests, open sessions.

(dramatic music)

- Still safe with me?

(glass shattering)

- Diamonds are forever.

- The Tabo?

- Yes, ma'am.

- We're going to make them regret this.

It's time for the insult.

- Mark Shriver, Vanity Fair.

- What did I miss?

(dramatic music)

- Milk, gotta be shinier.

- Okay, all right, give it back.

- Oh, oh, sorry.

- What are you doing?

- So slippery.

Heads up.

- Okay, don't do that again.

- Hey, can I address the infant in the room?

- How are these guys?

- These are the wonderful kids that deep faked our show.

- What?

- Yeah.

- You had the cops sent to my house, you freaked out my kids.

- Yeah, sorry.

- Yeah, sorry about that.

- How are the kids though?

How was the whole boring suburban life you left us for?

- Hey, relax, man, you missed your shot.

See the size of that rock?

- No, let me see that.

Ooh, it's no hard diamond, but it's impressive.

- I already told you, Danny, I didn't feel safe

trying to escape from a straitjacket hanging upside down.

I was six months pregnant.

- Come on, we would have flipped you right side up at the end.

You would have been fine, come on.

- You guys didn't even miss me.

How long did it take you to replace me, an afternoon?

- And the better part of an evening.

Hey, speaking of, how is Lula?

Are you guys still?

- No, she moved to Paris.

- I don't know, she dumped the great Jay Wilder.

My God, I'm sorry, my apologies.

Don't you need to be on some like cruise ship somewhere humiliating yourself?

- Humiliating myself?

- Yeah.

- I make five figures per cruise, plus perks.

- Plus perks, he said plus perks.

And I thought Mary drinking himself to death in Mexico was depressing, ooh.

- Speaking of, I gotta get back to it.

This liver's not gonna destroy itself.

- Yes.

- Can we dry dock this thing?

- Wait, wait, wait, you're leaving?

- Well, yeah, I mean, great catching up.

I don't know, what, see you in another 10?

Nice to meet you, little tadpoles.

- Adios.

- Yeah, you know what, I'm outta here too.

I have a gig to get to.

- Really, they're covering your Uber?

- Signed an NDA, can't say a word.

What are you doing?

- Six handles and none of 'em open it.

- Who do you think you're talking to?

- Who?

- I'm sorry, but I don't really know what's going on with you guys.

I'm getting the feeling there's a lot of weird

history here and things are a little awkward.

- Yeah, you guys, you used to be the horseman.

- I don't get it.

Why did you break up?

- Ask them, ask them why we broke up.

If it was up to me, we wouldn't have.

- The eye wanted us to expose a Russian arms dealer.

- Do we really have to live through this again?

- We made some huge mistakes.

We got sloppy, cocky.

Because of us, Dylan Shrike will never see the outside of a Russian prison again.

- Who?

- Dylan Shrike, okay?

He's a horseman.

Come on, do your homework, man.

- I'm so sorry, guys.

I had no idea.

Well, he's stuck in there forever.

- Which is obviously a tragedy and something I'll never forgive myself for.

- Nor will I.

- Yeah, fine, man, but it didn't mean you have to quit.

- Oh, man, that is really a bummer, guys.

Sorry about that.

- A bummer?

- I love the way your generation sums things up so eloquently.

I mean, someone explain to me why these pre-pubes are even here.

- Same reason you are, man.

I wanted 'em.

- Well, we got the heart.

What does the eye want us to do next?

- No idea.

- I know one thing.

When you've got a half a billion dollar diamond

in your hands, they're gonna get in touch.

- Yeah, probably.

- Whoa, wait, wait.

Alice, can I see your car?

- Yeah.

(dramatic music) - Wow.

- It's a map.

- Hey, Alice, it's your dad.

- No, it's a map that only reveals itself when the horsemen are together.

- Well, fat chance.

- Really, dude?

I mean, come on.

The eye obviously wants you guys to do this.

You're the horsemen.

Start acting like it.

- All right, I suppose Rosarito can wait a couple of days.

- I can try to reschedule this gig.

It's not gonna be easy, but I'll figure it out.

- I mean, I have kind of missed running for

my life and jumping off rooms with you guys.

- It's good to have you back.

- Thanks.

- Okay, so where is this place?

(dramatic music)

(dramatic music)

- What are we supposed to be doing here?

- The eye will let us know.

- All right, catch you at time.

- What are you doing?

- Taking a photo.

- Please don't post photos of the top secret location.

- Tell us, I know you wanna be in it.

- I don't wanna be in it.

- 4.5, 4.5.

- Because it can be used for-- - For memories.

- No, not memories, evidence.

(dramatic music)

- Huh, I've never seen a door like this.

Okay, I can't open it.

You got this, Jack?

- Wait, don't you mean June?

- Jack's our lock pick.

- Whoa, looks like a little healthy competition.

- Come on, this isn't fair.

I've been picking locks since before she was born.

Let me find the keyhole.

- Maybe the other side.

- You're not inspiring confidence right now, Jack.

- He's got it.

He's got it.

- Feeling rusty?

- Don't rush me.

- When does he start the lock picking?

- Hey, Jack, I don't think this is a lock you pick.

I think it's a lock you solve, so.

- Show 'em how it's done.

- Whoa, mind if I just figure this out right with me?

- Huh.

- Okay.

If you've ever done an escape room,

you'd know there are all kinds of different puzzles.

It's not just about locks and keys.

- Whoa.

- You might want to update your game, Jack.

- Whoa.

- But by all means, lead the way.

- I think he loosened it for her, ultimately.

- Ooh.

- Whoa.

- Wow.

- What is this place?

- Magic nerd heaven.

- PT Selma's coffin?

- See?

- Guys, Houdini's straight jacket.

- Yes, it is.

Hey, can I put you in here for old time's sake?

- No.

- No?

- I thought it was funny.

- Thanks a lot.

You wanna come in?

- No.

- All right.

- Oh, Charlie, check this out, dude.

- What is it?

- Bullet catch.

- No way.

Yo.

- Whoa.

(suspenseful music) - Dead end?

- Yeah, dead end.

- Hey guys, dead end.

Or is it?

- Oh my God.

- Yeah, it is.

- Hmm, that's weird.

The die should be here, and the ball should be here.

(suspenseful music) - Oh.

- Well played.

- It's nothing.

- Four rows, one, five, eight, four?

Is it a code?

- One, okay, one, five, four.

- Minus four.

- One, eight, four.

- It's 1984.

- What?

- The Discovery of Witchcrafts.

It's the first book on stage magic.

It's when it was published.

- But how does he know that?

- He's basically a computer full of useless information.

- Huh.

(suspenseful music)

(door opening) - Useless?

- This is cool.

- Huh.

Unreal.

- Nice.

- Hey guys, it's the floor plan of the chateau, but it's different somehow.

- Up is down.

Left is right.

Even the rooms are tricks.

My horseman.

- Thaddeus.

(laughing)

So good to see you.

- So good to see you darling.

- Let me just check the ring Cameron buzzed us in.

Now where's the fun in that?

- Sir, hi, I'm Charlie.

I'm such a big fan of yours.

- Hi Charlie.

- I've never seen a luber lens this big in person.

- Really?

You ain't seen nothing yet.

- So you've sent the tarot cards.

- No, I've long since given up such foolishness and your collective dysfunction.

No, the only magic I do nowadays is for my grandchildren.

Some weeks ago, however, cart did appear on my doorstep,

warning me to prepare this chateau for the arrival

of seven soon to be fugitives from the law.

My tracks.

- Wait, so why does the eye want us here?

- I can only assume that whatever it is

they want you to do next is hidden somewhere in these walls.

See this chateau, chateau Roussillon used to be their home.

In 1943, the allies needed military miracles from every source.

They enlisted the aid of some of the most talented magicians of the time.

They built a full city using mud, cardboard, lights,

thousands of inflatable rubber tanks to misdirect the Germans.

- The genius of Jasper Maskelyne.

- Somebody knows his history.

- Wait, so what do the Nazis have to do with the diamond?

- That I do not know, but the answer is here, somewhere.

We just have to start looking.

- Ms. Vanderburg, Ms.

Vanderburg, how do you respond to the rumors that your company

is nothing but a front for money laundering?

- The horsemen are thieves posing as anti-capitalist entertainers,

and they have unfairly targeted me and my good company.

I challenge anyone who maligns us to look closely at our operations and our books,

and I challenge police to put those magicians back where they belong in the past.

- All right, no more questions, no more questions, please.

Thank you.

- Interpol, they said it was an inside job.

Theives knew exactly where the blind spots were.

- How's it?

- Let me guess, you're the one behind these horsemen in their little stable hands.

- No, why would I ask for the diamond and then try to steal it?

If I were you, I'd figure out a way to get it back and fast.

I understand that you and your rest team will be in

Abu Dhabi later this week, a perfect mutual ground.

I'll bring my evidence.

You'll bring your heart, if you have one.

- I... - Have you found them yet?

- We do have a few leads.

They were seen near the south out of Belgium.

- Now they're saying the horsemen have been seen in France.

One hour ago, the head of the French police owes me.

Just call him and say that I want these horsemen's heads served up on a platter.

The gendarme will find them.

- I'm sure of it.

- Thaddeus told us to look for something.

What do you think it is?

Oh, wow, this is cool.

You are not a big topper.

- Oh, sorry.

- Well, you are a big apologizer.

- Sorry, I just did it again, sorry.

I mean, I'm just nervous.

I'm a big fan of you guys.

And I got the cops called on, and I'm really, I'm gonna be, I'm not gonna say it.

- You're forgiven.

You guys make the horseman look good.

But I didn't see you.

Why weren't you in it?

- Oh, I just, I prefer to be behind the scenes.

I design all of our tricks.

Where are we going?

I feel like we're lost.

- Do you really prefer that, or is that just something you hide behind?

- What do you mean?

- Well, I, whoa, for years I told myself I wanted to be an assistant.

I didn't mind being upstaged by Atlas.

So brilliant, but really, I just, I was afraid.

I was afraid to take the spotlight.

- Ooh, Thaddeus was right.

Up is down.

(dramatic music)

- Upside down room.

- Cool.

- Cool?

- Is nothing impressive to you?

- That's why I said cool.

You not know what cool means?

- All right, let's just try to figure out how this room works, okay?

- Yeah.

Figured it out.

- Of course, that's right.

You know everything already.

- So what did I do wrong this time?

- Oh, nothing.

My apologies.

You're amazing.

It's an honor to watch you.

- Has anyone ever told you that you're a control freak?

- Yep, many times.

Whoa, hey!

- I did figure it out.

(dramatic music) - Oh, wow.

(dramatic music)

- Got me kicked in.

- I wonder what we're looking for.

- Anything weird.

- This is all weird.

- Jesus.

- Look at this.

You know, I have always looked up to you.

- Oh, yeah?

- Yeah, before you became a cruciate magician.

I also do corporate events.

- Oh, no way.

I couldn't tell.

- So that was a total waste.

What now?

- One trick, okay?

No charm, no gift of gab, just one trick.

- Dude, I did not have to prove myself to you.

- I mean, you kinda do.

Show me why the eye picked you.

You know what?

Prove to me that you don't need a babysitter.

Oh, what, now you stopped performing?

You're done showing off 'cause your misfit friends aren't here?

- They're my family.

- Don't you dare, I don't have to impress them.

- All right, fine, forget it.

I just wanted to see what you were capable of

when you weren't trying to win cheap applause, but I guess the answer is nothing.

- All right, wanna see a magic trick?

See, the problem with you, Atlas,

is that you just like to overcomplicate things, man.

It is a lot easier to find a diamond than you think.

- Ooh.

- And to make it disappear.

- Nice.

- Check your pocket.

- Really?

- Hm.

Ooh, not bad.

Card to impossible location, but don't play checkers on a chess board

because I'm already five steps ahead of you.

Check your pocket.

- Hey, those are Price's antiques.

- Yeah.

- This room is where old relics go to their final resting place.

- Yep.

You are, you were probably right, Thaddeus, but not before they have one last shot.

Hi, Glory.

- What's going on here?

- Pretty good, but you should try to do things a little more slow.

- Really?

- Let your audience enjoy the real magic.

Okay, not bad, not bad.

- Ooh, wow.

Nice one, girls.

- I've never been great at poker, but is a diamond trumped by a heart?

- Ooh, there it is.

- Ooh.

- Nice misdirection.

But let's not forget what this is really about.

- Show 'em, Charlie.

- Making a jewel disappear.

- Let's see this one.

- All right, keep your eye on the prize.

Round and round they go, where they stop, nobody knows.

Good as gone.

- Black art, table's rigged.

Saw it when I came in.

- Time for a clean escape.

- Oh, yeah.

- Where's he going?

- I know what he's doing.

Jack in the box, that's a trick.

- It's old stuff.

- If I had known he was that easy to get rid of.

- Not that easy.

- Yeah, Jack.

- Oh, okay.

Enough of the warmup act, time for the headliner.

I want you to think of one of these cards, but don't

think of the one you think I want you to think of.

Got one?

- Yeah, I got one.

- What was your card?

- Four of hearts.

- Oh.

- That's a nice one from investor.

I'm impressed, I'm impressed.

- Hey, hey, that whiskey is older than you.

- Sorry, boss, so sorry.

Look, you guys, I'm not gonna lie.

This has been really cool.

Really, really cool.

- Go show 'em.

- But I think I just wanna make it a little cooler.

- Come on now, yes.

- Thank you.

- There she goes.

- No storm in China.

- There we are.

Beautiful.

- It was red, white, and winter, guys.

- Snow is rare in this part of France, but ice?

That is just impossible.

- Classic.

- Nice.

- How'd you do a vanish so good?

- Oh, magician never tells.

- Check.

- Mate.

- Shit.

- Face it, Bosco.

Wisdom and skill all become youth and arrogance every time.

- Thank you.

Never assume you're the smartest guy in the room.

Prove it.

- Give me a break, man.

You didn't prove anything.

- Hey, can I just remind everyone?

We still haven't figured out why we're even in this World War II relic.

- Wait.

Jasper Masculine, the magician who vanquished the Nazis.

He built fake cities, fake tanks.

I mean, I wonder.

(chuckles) - Whoa.

- Oh, wow.

Oh my God, I was right?

- Hey, magic 101, man.

Never act surprised when the trick actually works.

- Sorry.

- Oh my goodness.

- What is all that?

- A encyclopedia of Nazi war criminals.

- Which apparently includes Veronica's dad.

After World War II, surviving Nazis fled around the world.

I'm not an accountant, but it looks like Peter

Vandenberg got rich cleaning their dirty money.

- Yeah, and apparently Veronica took over

right where he left off using his criminal network.

But I don't understand, what does the eye want us to do with this?

- Well, if I'm not mistaken, the eye wants us to unmask the Vandenbergs.

Bring down two generations of criminals with a single slight of hand.

- I've read some interesting rumors about the Vandenbergs online.

Looks like 15 years ago, Veronica's mom killed herself.

And a week later, their housekeeper's brakes failed.

Her car crashed, she and her son died.

There was some suspicion of foul play, but nothing was ever proven.

- Whoa.

- Oh, shit.

(speaking in foreign language)

(speaking in foreign language)

- Hold on, hold on, hold on.

Listen closely.

Split up, find a way out.

- Okay, come on, let's go. - Go, go, hurry.

- He's right, everybody split up.

- Okay, let's go.

(dramatic music)

(speaking in foreign language)

(speaking in foreign language)

- This way, this way.

(speaking in foreign language) - Turn around.

- Turn around.

- You heard him, Bosco.

Turn around.

(grunting) - Go.

- Here they come.

(grunting)

(speaking in foreign language)

(speaking in foreign language)

(speaking in foreign language)

(speaking in foreign language) - Sorry.

(speaking in foreign language)

(speaking in foreign language)

You know, normally I like to give a proper tour to new guests.

I suspect you've discovered that this house holds many secrets.

(speaking in foreign language)

(speaking in foreign language)

Would you like to see a magic trick?

(speaking in foreign language)

- How about if I make myself disappear?

(speaking in foreign language)

(dramatic music)

- Hurry, this way.

- Thaddeus!

- Oh, thank God.

Hey, which is the fastest way out of here?

- Around this bend.

- Yeah.

- There's a passageway.

Just follow the creek through the forest.

- Whoa.

- Whoa.

- Oh, no.

Oh, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.

- This can't be happening.

Come on, Thaddeus, stand up.

We're gonna go now.

We need to get you help.

Please, stand up.

- You have to stop Veronica Vandenberg.

- I know we can't do it without you, Thaddeus.

- You don't need me, but you do need each other.

Never forget that.

(dramatic music)

I knew when I came here, that this was probably my final trick.

Now, don't let me die in vain.

There's work to be done.

(speaking in foreign language) Go, go now, go.

Please, before us,

(speaking in foreign language)

(dramatic music)

(speaking in foreign language) - We gotta go.

- Atlas.

(dramatic music)

(dramatic music)

- The police took June into custody.

- Well, what about Jack and Merrick?

- Them two.

- Okay, so we break him out.

- Well, let's just talk about this for a second.

- Talk about what?

- Listen to me, we need to be smart.

- No, we gotta get my friend out of jail.

- Bosco.

- Look, when you were researching all that

stuff about us, you know what didn't come up?

Charlie and June are my only friends.

You know what I really love about them?

They don't make me feel like an asshole.

I'm getting chill.

- Wait, Bosco.

- Listen to me, hey.

- What? - One second, dude.

- Listen to me, you can't.

- Why, tell me.

- They're looking for you, Bosco.

They're looking for all of us.

- Yes, yes, you're gonna get arrested too.

- Yes.

- Shit.

- Exactly.

If only there was somebody else crazy enough

to stage a jailbreak with no resources, no protection.

- Atlas?

- Yeah.

- Maybe there is.

(dramatic music)

- Thaddeus Marcus Bradley.

- In case you're interested in the name of the man you just murdered.

- Ah, yes.

That was unfortunate.

- You know, when this whole thing started,

I didn't give a shit about you or your diamond,

but you just went and made it deeply personal.

And now, I am really looking forward to taking you down.

- (laughs) My father would have loved you.

He was quite fond of magic.

When I was five or six, in one of the few moments

that I had him to myself, he taught me a trick.

He would make a red silk handkerchief disappear and then come back out of his mouth.

I loved it.

It had just the right amount of flair, and I practiced that trick for months.

I thought that if I could do it just right, I would earn more of him.

But that was the illusion.

I've hated magic ever since.

The camp, the cheese, not to say anything

of con artists like you with your mentalism.

Neither one of us has psychic powers, Mr. McKinney.

But you don't have to.

You know where my heart is.

And I don't have to, because you're going to tell me.

I think you're smart enough to know

that I ain't telling you shit, as we say in Texas.

And you're wrong about mentalism.

People wear their entire life story on their face.

You just have to know how to read it.

Take yours, for example.

- May I?

- With pleasure.

- This is gonna be fun.

Well, you've already shared in excruciating detail

your daddy issues, but I'm curious about your mom.

Why did she commit suicide?

Was she as desperate for your father's attention as you were?

Ooh, she was.

And why was that?

Did your father give his attention to someone else?

When you tuck your hair behind your ear, that's a tell.

He was.

So was he banging his secretary?

No, that's too cliche.

But it had to be someone close to your mom for her to, a good friend, hairdresser.

Wasn't the housekeeper, was it?

No, not the housekeeper.

I don't have time for this.

- And that's what people usually say when I'm getting hot.

Should we crank up the AC, maybe open a window?

Now, if my dad was having sex with my housekeeper

and my mom found out and committed suicide,

I probably wouldn't cut the brakes on my housekeeper's car.

But then again, I'm not a psychopath.

- You are a sad and pathetic man.

I can see why you want to end it.

- Hey, Veronica, you know, walking away is also a tell.

(speaking in foreign language)

(dramatic orchestral music)

(speaking in foreign language)

(speaking in foreign language)

- Adelie, Adelie, Adelie, Adelie, Adelie!

(dramatic orchestral music)

(dramatic orchestral music)

(speaking in foreign language)

- Where is she, where's the girl?

(speaking in foreign language)

(dramatic orchestral music)

(dramatic orchestral music)

- It's pretty disgusting, even for you.

- I think I may have overdone it on the wine.

- Hi, Lula, you look great, by the way.

- Okay.

- I didn't think I'd ever see you again.

- Find us.

- A little bird, he told me.

Imagine my surprise.

You guys all go back together without me.

- What, no, it's not like that.

You don't understand.

- Oh, was it, no?

You're free, dick.

- The cavalry!

Miss me?

- No, a lot.

- Oh, hello there, it's me, Lula, teeth.

Lula, remember?

I too was once a horseman.

- Yeah, I asked about you.

I was the only one.

- You were the one, he was the only one, really?

- All right, so move.

- Shit.

- Move, we have to get to the meetup.

Okay, here's the plan.

I have the getaway car, it's all ready to go.

I just need Jack to hot wire it.

- Well, your plan is for me to steal a car.

- Uh-huh.

- Okay, I'll hot wire the car.

You get June, do not leave without her, all right?

Meet us outside.

- Okay.

- Oh, watch for flashing lights.

- Okay, you know, I can hot wire them.

- You can let go of me now.

I'll be right here, sorry.

(speaking in foreign language)

(speaking in foreign language)

(upbeat music)

(grunting)

- Come here, where is the diamond?

- Maren, thank you.

- Got your back, you know.

- But who's got yours?

- Flashing lights.

- Run!

(grunting)

- Look into my eyes, watching wonder why I

whisper words that weaken your will, and sleep.

Not everyone's susceptible.

(upbeat music) I said sleep.

(grunting)

(sighing)

- Is it a super plane?

(dramatic music) - Ta-da.

(dramatic music) - Hello?

Jack?

- You know, you could have told us about the police car, thank you very much.

And look, we made the fifth horseman reappear.

Hello, Lula.

- Hi.

- She's okay?

- Hi.

- Are you okay?

- Yeah, no, I'm okay, I'm okay.

But they have merit.

- Shit.

- Yeah, I escaped, he couldn't--

- Yeah, yeah, very emotional time for everybody here.

Clearly a lot going on, and I'm really trying not to take any of this personally,

but please, can you tell me, did the eye contact you directly?

- Yeah.

- You too?

- Yes.

- Well, why didn't you call me sooner?

- I'm so sorry, I had to find a babysitter, everything happened like that.

- Wait, I'm sorry, you two know each other?

- Yeah, we know, how many female magicians do you think there are in the world?

- Oh, the fact there are three of us in the room right now, it's like--

- Shogging, shogging, mind blown.

- That's true.

- I'm surprised the universe isn't folding in on itself.

- Exactly.

- Abu Dhabi.

- Does he just do that, mm-hmm?

- Sorry, I didn't, I'm a big fan of yours, by the way.

I was trying to figure out where Veronica was gonna be next,

and apparently, Vanderburg Global has a motorsports team.

They're introducing a new car this weekend in Abu Dhabi.

So if we can get Merritt back and expose her-- - No, no,

no, I am not exposing her, I am not exposing anyone, okay?

I don't care what the eye wants, no.

We are swapping this for Merritt, and then we are done.

We're saving our friend, we're not saving the world.

- And then what?

We just go back to our lives and let her walk away?

- After Russia, you said magicians are entertainers,

not superheroes, and I'm starting to think that you are right.

- She doesn't just launder money like her father.

- You saw what happened to Thaddeus.

- Obviously, I'm playing a bit of catch up here, right?

I don't have all of the information, but I don't think that that should stop me

from having an opinion about what we do next.

- Of course it should. - Exactly.

- No, it shouldn't, Atlas, and I think we should expose Vanessa.

- Veronica. - Veronica, for murder, and what is the other thing? - Money laundering.

- And for money laundering, for murder and for money laundering.

We should tie her up. - No, no, no.

It is too dangerous, and Atlas is right.

- We are done sacrificing ourselves.

I'm sorry, it's not worth it.

- That's bullshit.

- What? - You're wrong.

- Am I?

- Sorry.

- No, don't be sorry, say it.

- You are, you're wrong.

It's just, before I discovered the Horsemen, I didn't give a shit about anything.

My family gave me up.

I hated the whole world.

And then I saw a video of you guys,

and you were trying to make the world less corrupt,

less terrible, and that made me give a shit.

(dramatic music)

- So what's the trick?

- I promise this is gonna work.

- But is that enough misdirection?

- As long as she's here and not there.

- We can take care of that.

- If you're even just five minutes late.

- Five, I'd say one.

- One minute late.

- How do we know enough people are gonna show up?

- You guys, it's already viral.

I guarantee there'll be a crowd.

This is nuts, there's too many variables.

- Hey, we'll be in constant contact with you if something goes awry.

- Hey, there's like no margin for error here, man.

Okay, zero.

We are going to have to be absolutely flawless

if we're gonna pull something this risky off with this many moving parts

in this ridiculously short amount of time, okay?

- Yes. - Yeah.

- But speaking for myself at least,

I think the seven of us have a better chance than most.

- Oh, would you look at this?

When did the great Valfskullaroy go soft?

- Okay guys, are we doing this or what?

- It is a 10 million to one shot.

- Those are my kind of odds.

(dramatic music)

- Ladies and gentlemen, the time has come.

Tonight for one night only.

- Come in close.

- Closer.

- 'Cause the more you think you see, the easier it'll be to fool you.

- The countdown begins.

In only two hours, the four horsemen will be on

stage together for the first time in 10 years.

Jade Daniel Atlas.

Henley Reeves.

Jack Wilder.

And Luma Mae.

Ladies and gentlemen, the four horsemen.

- That's right, the horsemen are back for one night only.

Now last week, we stole the heart diamond and tonight, in two hours time,

we're gonna return it to its rightful owner, all of you.

- You think that got her attention?

- That didn't, I don't know what will.

- All right, listen, now that you know how bad things can actually get,

can you please just try playing it safe this one time?

- No. - Okay.

Here she is, right on time.

You enjoying the show?

- It's a little tacky for my taste.

I assume you chose your venue for its proximity to my own.

Well, good news for you, I've placed you on our guest list.

Bring me my heart.

We'll make an exchange, Mr. McKinney for the diamond.

Outside, under the lights, and not the first hint of magic.

One rabbit comes out of a hat, one ace slides

out of a sleeve, and your friend goes, poof.

Just trying to use parlance, you understand.

(upbeat music) - Two, one.

- Welcome to the W. Yass Island.

- The Orlando of the Middle East.

- Now, finally, thank you to Yass Island

for hosting an event worthy of the fastest team in motorsport.

- This track is elite, but it will soon provide our competitors

with the most common view in racing, the rear wings of our cars.

(audience laughing)

- Holy shit, that's Veronica?

She has a very commanding presence.

- Our magical friends have arrived.

Why don't you go and greet them?

Thank you so much for coming, I hope you enjoy the race.

- Okay, Atlas said to create a distraction.

How are we gonna pull this off?

- There is security everywhere.

- Okay, you guys, calm down, I got this.

Hello, hi.

David, cool, I'm from media relations, I was just checking in.

Do you think you guys could do a different camera placement?

Okay, thanks, continue.

Your turn.

- Let's do this.

- You make sure you confirm the authenticity of the diamond.

These people are very tricky.

- I'm so glad you came.

- What did you say we bury the hatchet?

- In each other's necks?

- Ha, he's funny.

We each possess something beneficial to the other, perfect reason to do business.

Only there's one caveat, I fervently hope our mutual dealings are at a close.

- She's so poised. - Not now.

- I hate her.

- How's it going?

- Well, can I help you?

- Yeah, we're here to shoot the car.

- I.D.?

- Oh, right, of course, obviously.

There you are.

- And you?

- Ah, yeah, that's my jacket somewhere.

- There it is.

- Yeah, we're with Checkered Flags,

the Doc series, next season's on Vandeberg Motorsports.

They seriously didn't give you guys a heads up?

- Typical.

We're just gonna get some inserts, maybe some

B-roll of some party people gawking at this beauty.

All right, whenever you're ready.

- Hey, don't touch the car.

- We gotta shoot the interior.

- Hey, I can actually get you a cameo in this thing.

- Save it, I've got my orders.

- Yeah. - And so do we.

Good evening, Miss Vandeberg.

Yeah, we're trying to get that footage you asked

for, but we ran into a little bit of a problem.

You're gonna be in trouble.

- She wants to talk to you.

- It's not good, my guy, mm-mm, not good.

- Hello.

- Listen, my father always said no embossed diamonds sat unseen.

And at this very moment, my car is the diamond.

So you can either let them do their job, or you can find yourself a new one.

- Sorry for the holdup, man.

You're good.

- You're the best.

You could just back up for me really quick, just for the light.

Thanks, man.

- Well, shall we get on with it?

- Please?

- Oh, of course, you have a goon, forgive me.

Well, come on, you don't trust us after all we've been through?

- Is there a problem?

Double check if you're not certain.

- It's not.

- Yes, of course it is.

Now please, can you get our friend?

Come on.

- There he is.

Okay.

- Hey, whew, are you okay?

- Well, now that I know I'm worth half a beat.

- Still think we got ripped off, but it's good to see.

- Sign sealed, delivered.

See, I'm a woman of my word.

Stick around if you want.

Enjoy the party.

- What in God's name?

(yelling)

- Come on, how do you make this thing go?

I can't concentrate with you yelling at me.

- You joined the show?

You're just gonna stand there walking or get my car back?

You did this.

- Okay, here we go.

- Okay, Alice, you want a distraction?

You got a distraction.

Man, this thing's tailhacked.

- We fell through the trap door or something.

- Is everybody okay?

- Where are we?

When I woke up this morning, there was only one thing I wanted more than my diamond.

My horsemen under lock and key.

And now that I have both, I must admit I'm feeling a little bit spoiled.

While you were prepping your little performance, I curated a trick of my own.

Five horsemen, trapped, no escape.

You five may be national treasures, but we have those here too.

Only they're hard to find because they're buried in sand.

To the world it will appear you died in a failed escape act.

Now, let's see some magic.

- Fuck magic, somebody call for backup.

- Jack, call June.

- Anyone have service?

- God, she must have scrambled the cell signal.

She thought of everything.

- Lula, whose side are you on?

- I'm on our side, obviously, but she also thought of everything.

Both things can be true at one time.

- The sand is getting higher, the sand is getting bigger.

This is more sand and it's getting larger.

- Henley, Henley, first principle of escape.

Oh, is, how long is this survivable?

- Right. - Okay, great.

Judging from the rate of the flow, the volume of the box, yeah, we're screwed.

- Oh, amazing.

Okay, how about the second principle of escape then?

- Okay, so that's the box itself.

It's your flaws, your weakness, their back door.

Everybody just needs to check.

- Seal, seal, seal, seal, seal.

- Everything's sealed.

- Any chance there's a third principle?

(dramatic music)

- I have what you're after.

- Perfect, I will meet you where the heart resides.

- I can hardly wait.

- Straight to the vault.

(dramatic music)

- No, no, no, yes!

Help me, Ricky, Bobby, help me!

(dramatic music)

- Is this really gonna happen right now?

We're just gonna die here in this box, really?

- It's funny, a week ago, I wanted to die, and then I get

my reason to live back, and now we're actually gonna die.

- How is that funny?

- Well, I mean, it's funnier in my head.

It's, you know, it's peculiar funny.

- No, uh-uh, no, no right of options.

- God, I never should have been that horrible about your website and your costumes,

and the logo, it's not embarrassing that the eye in Wilder is a little magic wand.

It's not, it's cute, and it's charming, and I missed you.

- Listen, I know, I don't always show it,

but I really do think the world of all of you.

- I cannot believe we're getting buried alive.

I mean, it's like a Westerner.

- Wait, wait, buried alive?

That's like an old magic tradition.

Sorry, who do we know who did that?

- Bill Shirk nearly died doing that, remember?

He got into a plexiglass coffin and had it covered in sand.

- But didn't the plexiglass break?

- The sand got wet.

- The sand got wet. - I remember now.

- It rained the night before.

Okay, wet sand is heavier than dry, it broke the glass.

- Wait, wait, wait, wait.

If we broke that pipe, then it would wet the

sand, and then it'll break the box, right?

- If I could wrap something around it, I might be able to get some leverage.

- Okay.

- Mayor, give me your belt.

- Okay, okay, you got it, you got it.

- Yep, yep. - Okay, okay.

- Come on, good, good, good, good, good.

- Got this, got this. - Okay, come on.

Come on.

- Yes, yes!

- Help me, help me, pull me down.

- Okay, okay, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

- A little.

(dramatic music)

- Pull over, we have interrupted.

- I'd love to pull over, but I'm finally getting the hang of this.

(dramatic music) - Pull over.

- I'm the greatest driver in the world!

(dramatic music)

(speaking in foreign language)

- Oh no, no, no.

Watch out!

(dramatic music) - Oh, damn it.

- Shut off the engine and exit the vehicle.

We've got you surrounded.

Put your hands up and don't move.

- I'm sorry, did I forget to use my blinker?

- You're under arrest.

- Thank you, gentlemen.

Excellent work.

We've had a red notice for one Bosco Leroy.

- Thank you.

- No problem.

- Yep, Atlas is gonna kill me.

- Water's coming in too fast.

- And the glass won't break.

- All this for a diamond.

- Could use that now, nothing cuts glass like a diamond.

- Wait, wait, wait.

Wait, Henley, Henley.

- Yes, I can hold my breath for eight minutes.

If anyone can get us out of this, we can.

(dramatic music)

- We're crossing into the desert, ma'am.

The storm is getting worse.

- What's he doing here?

- Ms. Vanderberg's diamond that you and your friends stole.

(grunting)

(dramatic music)

- Lost something?

(dramatic music) - That was fun.

(dramatic music) - It's working.

- It's working.

- Everybody help.

- It's working.

- Let's do it.

- Come on.

(dramatic music)

(screaming)

(dramatic music)

- Henley, way to go.

- My god.

- All right, we got a show to catch.

- I hope we're not too late.

- You all right?

- Yeah.

(dramatic music)

- Identity verified.

(dramatic music) - You made it.

Do you have what I want?

- If you have what I want.

(dramatic music)

- Where's the evidence?

- Right here.

I'm the evidence.

- Charlie, I don't... You're dead.

- Now you see me.

(dramatic music)

- It's quite fascinating.

The things people do to make something or someone disappear.

(dramatic music)

Ah.

(dramatic music)

- I taught you that trick.

Just like our father taught you.

- And now after 15 years, you're trying to ruin me?

- No.

All 15 years.

- I didn't know you'd be in that car.

- But you must have been relieved to hear I was.

When we hit the water, I couldn't unbuckle my seat belts.

Mom freed me with her dying breath.

- I had nothing but fondness for you, Charlie.

(dramatic music)

Let me finally treat you like a brother.

- I am your brother.

(dramatic music)

Father's blood is in both of us.

Though he'd never acknowledge mine.

God knows Mother big.

- And the shame drove my mother to her grave.

- Then you sent Mom to hers.

- Fine.

You're right.

It should be yours.

- Here.

Take it.

(dramatic music)

(dramatic music)

- Bullets catch.

- That's impossible.

- No.

Just magic.

(gun firing)

Ah.

Hmm.

(gun firing)

(dramatic music)

Hello, everyone.

Thank you.

All right, thank you.

Earlier tonight, J. Daniel Atlas promised

to return the heart diamond to its rightful owner.

But before we do that, some introductions are in order.

First, let's say hello to the fierce force of nature, the extraordinary June Ruckler.

(crowd cheering) Yeah, June.

Now, hello, everyone.

Thank you.

Thank you so much.

Thank you.

- And give it up for the indomitable Bosco Loroy.

(crowd cheering)

- The pleasure is ours.

- Hello, gorgeous.

(crowd cheering)

- And of course, we could not have done any of this

in the first place without the help of the world's greatest magicians.

The four, sorry, make that five horsemen.

(crowd cheering)

Thank you, everyone.

Wow.

You know, we have entertained, well, dazzled audiences all over the world,

but we have never been part of a trick like this.

- And you may be asking yourself, how did they pull this off?

- Okay, well, every magician needs an assistant.

Veronica, you may think Veronica here as Peter Vanderburgh's

sole heir is the rightful owner of this diamond.

But here's the twist.

Peter didn't have one child.

He had two.

- That's right.

And that other child cheated death.

- And landed in New York City.

Where vengeance became his life's work.

But he would need help.

- So he recruited.

Enticed.

And lured some of the most brilliant minds he could

assemble, laying the groundwork for a trick unlike any other.

Which brings us to tonight.

- Make some noise for the mastermind behind all of this.

- Our best friend.

- A ghost.

- Until this very moment.

- Charlie Vanderburgh.

(crowd cheering)

- I know I said I'd enjoy taking you down, but this is more fun than I anticipated.

- You are still a sad and pathetic man.

And you are nothing.

- Oh, hold on, everyone.

One sec.

- And you never will be.

- One sec.

- I don't understand how you pulled this off.

- You don't understand.

Veronica doesn't seem to understand how she found herself in this position.

Well, let's explain it to her.

You see, the finest magic.

Praise on assumptions.

That the car waiting for you was the same one that dropped you off.

- Let's go.

- That an act of mother nature is nothing but.

- And that a vault in the desert isn't just smoke and mirrors.

- That a gun isn't filled with blanks.

- And that an elevator is just simply descending into earth.

- If you want to trick the master of deception, you have to manipulate her reality.

And for our last trick, why do we make Veronica disappear?

(crowd cheering)

- You don't win.

I'm the back of our family.

- There she is.

- That's not true.

- There she is already.

- Final reveal.

The real Veronica Vanderberg.

- The world is full of illusions.

One of the biggest is that this diamond belongs to the Vanderbergs at all.

As my father's only unincarcerated next of kin,

I'll make sure every one of our illicit buyers faces legal repercussions.

And then I'll give all our assets, including the heart,

to the South African communities they came from,

with a few extra dollars left for all of you.

(crowd cheering)

- Horseman crowds always leave with deeper pockets.

- Please trick.

- And learn from the best.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Thank you for joining us, all of us.

And please remember, no matter what cards life

deals you, you have to learn to make your own magic.

Ladies and gentlemen, we are the Horsemen.

Goodnight.

(upbeat music)

♪ I'll leave you to score ♪

♪ You made me really want it more ♪

- All right, what do you want?

Pomegranate or boysenberry?

- Dude, I said I wanted a drink.

- Let's give it a try.

- Kids today.

Mm, of course.

That's pretty good.

- That's good.

- It's good.

- Mm, of course.

- That's pretty good.

You wanna try?

- No.

- I think you dropped this.

- Oh, an old card.

- Just in case you wanna frame it.

- Thanks, I might.

You know, I still cannot believe you're a Vanderburg.

- Neither could she.

- I was thinking, I feel like we should start our own group, you guys.

- Girls Magic Group?

- Yeah, yeah, yeah.

- Yes.

- Horse girls.

- No, not that.

- Horse women.

- Not that.

- Ladies of the horse.

- That's really bad.

- Can I talk to you real quick?

(cheering)

Not trying to infiltrate the horse women.

- What is, what's up?

- It's just.

- Speak, what is the matter with you?

- It's hard because I don't know how you feel, and so.

- Hey, everybody.

Everybody, come on over here, please.

Yeah?

Come on, guys.

Hey, can you grab some more of those delicious things, Hosko?

- Chad, you are gonna love this stuff.

It is slap.

- No, Merritt, please.

- It's flaps.

And what I meant to say is it's good.

- Yeah, right.

- Yes, and I will be the one to say it.

I am going to miss you guys.

I was just thinking the same thing.

- Yeah, me too.

- Damn it, I love you guys.

- We love you too.

- We love you.

- You too.

- Wow, very sweet.

Even me, really, you must be very drunk.

Whoa!

(cheering) - No.

- Just stop and go back to what, we all love each other.

Go back to that.

(laughing)

- You guys love each other.

- You guys expecting someone?

- No one's supposed to know where we are.

(somber music)

- Who's it from?

- Doesn't say.

- Open it.

- You open it.

- Okay.

- Oh, that's the thing from the door.

- Yeah, from the chateau.

- Oh, yeah.

- Do you mind if I take another crack at it?

- Yeah, yeah, go for it.

- Yeah.

I think I can handle it this time.

(somber music)

(dramatic music)

- Hello, horseman.

- Oh, no.

- Did you miss me?

- Till then.

- But he's supposed to be in prison.

- I know what you're thinking.

He lied to us.

But I didn't lie to you.

I just led you to believe something that wasn't true.

But it was for your own good, trust me.

There's more to this mystery than you realize.

And the end result is that the horsemen are back together again.

It warms my heart.

Now, for you three imposters, brazenly pretending like you're part

of our top secret organization, you think you're gonna

get away with it with no consequences or repercussions?

Well, you thought right.

Welcome.

Welcome to the eye.

I asked for the rest of you.

You thought your work was done.

Think again, team.

You're just getting started.

- What's the trick?

(upbeat music)
