There were so many women,

I have no idea whose bastard you are.

What?

- What happened?

- Thin air, gone. Come with me.

What're you talking about, gone?

People don't just disappear.

You realize that he doesn't actually

have magical powers!

- Hey, guys.

- Hey!

- Good to see you all.

- Good to see you, Li.

Come on in.

Good morning. Welcome.

I'm proud of you.

All of you.

I have a lot to show you. Come.

Come.

Dad.

Yes.

Your father and I were partners.

Our act was that of rivals.

I was the hard-eyed realist.

He was the dreamy-eyed idealist.

We thought it was the perfect misdirect.

Yes, in public, I did goad him.

The only thing we didn't count on

was it going so wrong.

Why?

Why didn't you ever say anything to me?

I don't know.

Give it a name.

Shame, guilt. Regret.

Hey, guys, uh, you might

wanna come take a look at this.

Hmm.

Look.

I put you in jail, man.

Why didn't you

say something then?

Well, you know, I was going to.

But then, you were so quick to show

your personal motivations that...

Well, quite frankly

it spoiled the trick for me.

I showed my weakness.

Well, it showed you weren't ready.

But when you came back to my cell,

you had let go of your

30-year vendetta against me...

...for your Horsemen.

And I said to myself,

"That's Lionel's boy."

And I knew it was my job to see to it

that he became the magician

he was born to be.

All that was left then was...

For me to hit bottom.

So the safe, my father's wristwatch,

that was all you?

Walter and Tressler,

were they in on it too?

Oh, we knew

Walter was in hiding.

The Octa show was a setup

to expose him to the public.

And you were right

about the Horsemen.

They needed to learn to work together

like a single organism.

Now I know why

you look so familiar.

You're the Horsemen, aren't you?

Okay.

But that can't be

what all this is about.

You know, the best tricks

work on many levels.

And the deepest one,

for me, at least,

is this moment right here.

I'm sorry, Dylan.

I miss your father.

Thirty years is a long time to drag

something around, isn't it?

Yes, it is.

So, now what?

- Now I'm about out of moves.

- Oh...

And I'm tired.

Come on, you're the one who said

that you believe that this road

led to the great wizard

behind the curtain.

I did.

And that you'd finally

get to look him in the eyes.

I am.

It's your game now.

You play it however you see fit.

My suggestion, however, is that

you find yourself a successor.

Hi. Okay, so, um...

Well, obviously,

we have a few questions. Right?

Uh... By "a few,"

I think he means, like, five million.

- Yeah.

- Well.

Good luck to you all.

- Okay. See, that's not fair.

- What!

- Come on.

- That's not right.

That's gonna make me really angry!

Not right now.

Oh, um, by the way...

Pay no attention to the curtain.

There is a curtain.

Go, go, go!

Seeing is believing.

But is it truth?

Depends on your point of view.

Are you listening, Horsemen?

When you emerge, and you will,

I will be there waiting.

Because mark my words,

you will get what's coming to you

in ways you can't expect.

But very much deserve.

Because one thing I believe in

is an eye for an eye.
