Is there a problem?

My grandmother wants to know

why plastic? Plastic is cheap.

Sorry. Yeah, we need plastic

because we're...

We're going through a very sensitive

metal detector, okay?

So plastic, nothing. Metal...

It detects.

It detects.

Boss, even if you use plenty

of woo woo woo or like this.

Boss, even if you use plenty

of woo woo woo or like this.

I still don't understand.

What did she say?

She said just because you're

talking slowly and moving your hands

doesn't mean she can suddenly

understand English.

Oh, yeah. So sorry. He's racist.

Hey, bro. Listen, I know

that the only thing that we agree on

is that our mom and dad

had one too many children.

So why don't we just let

the kids play with their toys

and go get a little drinkey-poo?

- If it's free, it's me.

- Great. Guys, we'll be right back.

Okay, kiddies,

the chaperones are watching you.

Don't do anything I wouldn't enjoy.

Okay. Have fun, you two.

Hey. Can I use your phone?

It's kind of important.

Sure.

- On the house.

- Thanks.

Who are you calling?

I'm arranging

to hand over the stick.

So that's how we've been

contacting the Eye?

You've been doing it

on your own?

Maybe.

Oh, God.

Dylan's not gonna like this.

I'm not really concerned

with what Dylan likes. Okay?

I'm doing this for us.

- What is wrong with this thing?

- Hey, relax, it's just a kid's toy.

Yeah, that's what I thought.

- Okay. Let me just...

- Ow!

Sorry, sorry. Jesus.

Hey, can you get this?

It's like birth, you know.

One person enters the hospital,

two people come out.

Walk and talk.

I'll tell you on the plane.

What plane?

My sources tell me

your Horsemen are in Macau.

- What's the look?

- It's none of your business.

Who are your sources?

Just some old friends.

When we have the card, where do I go?

And 0 for 52.

Well, it's perfect.

It's a perfect score.

Then what about girls?

Like, relationships?

What?

Look, it's not

something I'm proud of,

but every girl I get close to,

I end up taking their trust.

And then their wallet.

So...

- You take their wallets?

- Yeah.

You ever take their belts?

Or how about some peanuts

from the hotel bar?

Not sure why you took those.

I'm sorry, did you think

that I was like those other girls?

Oh, Jack.

Okay. So there's a marketplace

down the street.

And I'm meeting

a man with a blue hat.

He'll get the stick to the right people

and get us home.

You go grab Merritt, okay?

We got a lot to do.

And, hey, put your belt on.

Oh, no, it's not...

She took it off me and...

You know, the most

heartbreaking moment of my life

was when I discovered that you had

stolen all my money and split.

I didn't realize until now

how much of that money

you put into your face.

Seriously, is it weird to have more hair

in your nose than on your head?

Speaking of, next time

you get a hair transplant,

you might wanna consider requesting

something other than old man pubes.

You know what?

You are such a buffoon, Mer-Bear.

And this little ploy you have

of stalling me while your friends

screw over my employer?

Not gonna work.

Chase! As you stare into my eyes,

you will find that you wanna sleep.

When you wake, you will beg

for Merritt's forgiveness

and realize that you will never be

half the man that he is.

Merritt, I am so,

so very, very sorry

about how pathetic your pupil is.

Hey, a little hint

on your technique of surprise.

It lacks that all-essential

little element of surprise.

Hey, this has been fun, Mer-Bear.

Let's do it again sometime.

Well, I've had ample time

to do some research, and you know,

I was wrong.

I think the Eye

might actually be real.

Thought you didn't

buy into all that.

I'd be lying if I

said I didn't think

that this road would lead to

the great wizard behind the curtain

and, in the end,

I might get to see his face.

That ain't gonna happen.

Even if the fate of

the Horsemen depends on it?

Listen to me. I broke you out of there.

We're not changing the terms now.

- You put me there!

- Yeah, because you deserve to be there.

- Listen, I did not kill your father.

- What?

All right, all right,

let's just cut the bullshit.

I know who you are, Shrike.

I know you blame me

for your father's death.

I know you think I goaded him into

performing a trick he couldn't pull off.

I know the time in jail was a result

of a 30-year revenge plot against me.

Supposing that's all true,

you think I'd tell you now?

Man...

Thirty years.

Thirty years, and the greatest long game

magic trick ever created.

Just to put me behind bars. Okay.

So how did it feel, seeing me there?

Was it all you hoped?

I don't know what you're talking about.

You're lying.

It was an empty experience.

And you wanna know how I know?

I know because you know.

There's always, always more

than what's on the surface.

So what, the past didn't happen,

and you're not who I think you are?

Now, don't tell me in 30 years

that's the first time you've

asked yourself that question.

I am not my father.

You're not getting in my head, okay?

You think you're luring me into a trap?

You're not.

Now, I am desperate,

which means I'm dangerous.

My only concern is the health

and well-being of the Horsemen.

And you're gonna lead me to them.

And if you don't, I promise you,

you're gonna end up far worse

than in some cushy jail cell somewhere.

What if the Horsemen

don't actually need you to save them?

All right. So the lab

is made up of two distinct layers,

the security perimeter

and the clean room.

The stick we're looking for

should be in this core.

So we're gonna have to

get underneath, extract it,

and replace it with a decoy.

Now, we're about to get to the chip.

This is the thing

about the chip, it's very thin.

Luckily, it's similar

in weight and size to a playing card,

so we're gonna have to

brush up on our card-istry.

Whoa, whoa!

That's no good.

So how do we get in?

Hannes Pike.

He's the son of

a South African gangster.

He's RSVP'd with what looks like

a couple of members

of his security detail.

A doctor, to vet it, I guess,

and somebody named Buffy.

Yeah, apparently, he travels

with a different bimbo every week. Hmm.

I wonder which one of us

gets to play the bimbo.

Hey, can I get in?

At the soothing sound of the slots

you slip into a serene state

of slumber and sleep.

Jack, for a moment,

They will think you're Hannes,

so lead them out and keep them busy.

You trust your people implicitly.

You will have them

take care of everything,

and you will wait in the car.

And eyes open, wide awake. Go.

Excuse me.

These people are following me.

You might wanna

check their pockets.

You might wanna

check their pockets.

- Hold it.

- Where are you going?

- Hold it.

- Where are you going?

- Body search.

- What is this?

Then our time is

ticking to infiltrate the lab

and get the card to the market,

where I'll hand it off to the Eye,

so we can all get the hell home.
