00:10To be continued...
00:43To be continued...
01:17You know, normally I don't allow visitors in my dressing room.
01:20Oh, I am so grateful to you for the opportunity.
01:22There's nothing of it.
01:28And now, ladies and gentlemen, it's Mark.
01:54Silence, please.
01:56We're much younger then.
01:58Thank you for pointing that out to me.
02:02Oh, whatever happened to Fatim?
02:05He was putting the cabinet away and the armature with all the spikes slipped.
02:09Oh.
02:13I'm glad you find that amusing.
02:15No, it's just that Fatim, the Magnificent's real name, was Harvey Ringwald of the Bronx.
02:23That name sounds awfully familiar.
02:27Yes, it does.
02:29The manifest.
02:30I got it here.
02:34Yeah?
02:36Here it is.
02:38Fatim used to hang out there.
02:39Maybe they can tell me something about him.
02:40We'll meet you there later.
02:49Sorry.
02:50I really don't know what happened to his things.
02:52I haven't seen them since the accident.
02:54Nor do I care to.
02:55What about a hooten box?
02:57That ring a bell?
02:58Nope.
02:58Our records show that Fatim bought this box about two years ago.
03:02So?
03:03Look, it's really important that we get it back.
03:05Why?
03:06For sentimental reasons.
03:08It belonged to our uncle.
03:09We're willing to pay good money for it.
03:11Well, I've come to the wrong person.
03:14I knew nothing about his equipment.
03:16But you worked with him, didn't you?
03:18Nobody worked with Fatim.
03:20You worked for him.
03:22You did as he told you to.
03:23That's all.
03:25I was his flunky, if that's what you mean.
03:27So you didn't know how his tricks worked?
03:30Magicians guard their secrets with their lives.
03:32Well, that's obviously what Fatim did.
03:34And his secrets died with him.
03:36And good riddance.
03:38So you have no idea where things are now.
03:40Listen.
03:41Last I heard, they were all auctioned off.
03:45Now, if you'll excuse me,
03:47I really don't have time to participate in your scavenger hunt.
03:53And as far as I'm concerned,
03:55I should have been the headliner
03:57and Fatim the flunky.
04:16Hello.
04:17Yeah, it's me.
04:18Two collectors just paid me a visit.
04:21They were looking for the box.
04:22Did you tell them anything?
04:23No.
04:23No, I didn't tell them anything.
04:25No, he had an accident.
04:27Why?
04:27He had a piece of equipment
04:29that I wouldn't mind acquiring.
04:30Oh, I'm afraid you're a little late for that.
04:33His stuff has been dispersed already.
04:35You're not thinking of doing
04:36the cabinet of doom trick, are you?
04:38Only a certified lunatic like that Tommy
04:41would try that one.
04:42Kids.
04:43Jack.
04:44Oh, these are my business partners.
04:47Oh, glad to meet you.
04:49Well, if that's all there is,
04:50I'm afraid I have to go.
04:51Oh, I wish I could invite you to stay.
04:54This is strictly a closed set.
04:56You know how temperamental magicians are.
04:59Ah, look, why don't you come back
05:00tomorrow night for the show?
05:02Be my guest.
05:03Let you in for half price.
05:05Oh, just kidding.
05:07It's on the house.
05:09Excuse me.
05:10Thanks.
05:10We'll just mic.
05:12What were you guys able to find out?
05:14Well, Fatim and his assistant
05:15weren't exactly drinking buddies.
05:17Yeah, do not invite to the same party.
05:19You would do as I said.
05:21Please, Father.
05:21And no more backtalk.
05:23Who's running this show, you or me.
05:25Ever since your mother died,
05:26you've been nothing but a problem.
05:27Wow, that poor girl.
05:30Your father seems to take his act
05:31a little too seriously.
05:33I think they really want us out of here.
05:34Come on, let's go.
05:37Excuse me.
05:38I'm afraid this place is off limits
05:40to all except magicians.
05:42But of course, I am the...
05:43You mean the pendulum of death?
05:48It's like riding a bicycle you never forget.
05:57It's the old pendulum of death, Monty.
06:00The pendulum of death?
06:02No way.
06:03Oh, come on.
06:04Monty, look.
06:05No!
06:05You and I, we've forgotten more
06:07than these young people have ever known.
06:08No!
06:09Please.
06:10Now, old time's sake.
06:12Oh, all right, all right.
06:14But you'll have to audition like anyone else.
06:16Well, of course.
06:16I'll try and squeeze you in late this afternoon.
06:19Only the top five acts
06:20get into the televised finals tonight.
06:22Understood.
06:24Come on, come on, Miranda.
06:26I'll be down to take a look
06:27at your act in five minutes.
06:28Get it together.
06:31You guys can go on
06:32after the prodigious panzini.
06:35Good luck.
06:36Thank you, Monty.
06:38Well, we've got a lot to do.
06:39We haven't much time to do it,
06:40so come on, let's get going.
06:41Well, I've got to unload all your gear.
06:43Why don't I check out the prop room
06:44while I'm down there?
06:44That's a good idea.
06:59How long did you say it takes
07:01for that rope to burn through?
07:02Oh, lots of time.
07:03Almost a minute.
07:04Took you 85 seconds.
07:06Well, it's faster upside down.
07:09I'm a little rusty.
07:14I found something
07:15in the prop room.
07:18The Houdan box.
07:19I don't know.
07:20It looks like that trick
07:21Fatim did.
07:21It's got the holes in it
07:23with the big knives.
07:24But, get this.
07:26It belongs to Montero.
07:30Then, if Montero
07:31is using the old cabinet
07:33of doom box,
07:34that means he has got his hands
07:35on some of Fatim's equipment
07:36that was up for auction.
07:38I'd better pull out there, Lila.
07:39But, what if you don't listen?
07:41Stay out of this.
07:43This is my business,
07:44so let me handle it.
07:45This is my chance, Lila,
07:47and I will not be denied.
07:49Please, Father.
07:49Shut up.
07:50There's a lot more
07:51talking about such nonsense.
08:07I'm going to tail him,
08:08make sure he doesn't barge it
08:08on Jack.
08:09You want to keep an eye
08:09on Lila?
08:36I'll see you next time.
08:58You okay?
09:04Hi, uh, my name's Mickey.
09:06I'm Lila.
09:35I really appreciate this.
09:37Most people aren't so friendly.
09:39Oh, Scott, I hope he hasn't had second thoughts.
09:42I don't know. I'll check the gentleman.
09:44I'll check his dressing room.
09:57Jack?
10:00Jack?
10:39He can't get along.
10:42Jack?
10:44He can't get along.
10:47Go from the ring.
10:48Take him down.
10:51No!
10:54Call an ambulance!
10:58Somebody get in here!
10:59No!
11:01Call an ambulance!
11:03Could have done this, but he's a little too obvious.
11:05Now, who else is there?
11:07Miranda! What about Miranda?
11:09She's been watching us like a hawk.
11:11Yes, I think it's time we paid her a little visit and had a chat.
11:27It's Robert!
11:29Robert?
11:30That team's assistant, but Miranda was Robert?
11:33Wait a minute. Where's the suicide note?
11:35It may not even be suicide.
11:38Somebody was trying to get rid of me and now Robert. Why? What's the connection?
11:41Why does there have to be a connection?
11:43Maybe it's just a random killer that this is his act.
11:46Why?
11:46Sorry.
11:47Wait a minute. What's this?
11:50Looks like a sawdust.
11:52What would sawdust be doing in his hair?
11:55Hey, Robert, check this.
11:56Oh, my God.
11:57Hey, hold it.
12:00No, please! I don't know anything. It was all Bobby's idea. Just don't hurt me.
12:04What was Bobby's idea?
12:06N-nothing.
12:07Shall we try that again?
12:09I didn't want any part of blackmailing Montero.
12:12Blackmailing Montero? Why would anyone want to blackmail Montero?
12:14Ryan, let me talk to him.
12:18Now, listen to you.
12:19Whoever did this to Bobby could easily do it to you.
12:23Bobby knew something, didn't he? Something about a box?
12:27How did you know?
12:28Just tell me!
12:30All right.
12:31It was this box that Fatim used.
12:33It's going to get in my way.
12:36Not Fatim.
12:38Not Robert.
12:41Not even you.
12:45I was beginning to like you.
12:50I really want to thank you for helping me with the act.
12:54I would have had to find myself a victim anyway.
12:57But you've saved me the trouble.
13:00Lila, please!
13:01I'm sorry you won't be able to see us win.
13:04But you'll be there in spirit.
13:07He committed suicide, which isn't hard to understand.
13:09That's just what the killer wanted you to believe.
13:11Jack, I haven't time for all this. We're on the air now. Please excuse me.
13:22I can't get through to Monty. He's not going to stop the show.
13:24Montero's on next.
13:25I know. I know.
13:27Have you seen Mickey yet?
13:28No. No.
13:30Wait a minute. If Mickey went to talk to Lila and Lila's here, where's Mickey?
13:34No mistakes now. This is our big chance.
13:38Hi. Have you seen Mickey?
13:39Uh, not for a while. We have to go on.
13:47Lila has sawdust on her back. Didn't Robert have sawdust in his wig?
13:51Yeah, maybe they get it from that dummy they use in their coffin trick.
13:54No, no. They haven't even done the act yet.
13:56Besides, I saw sawdust around here somewhere else.
13:58What? In the proper room?
14:00No. No. In the wine cellar.
14:02Stainless steel blades, each one positioned to plunge through the lid
14:07and impale the magician within.
14:11Like the late Fateen the Magnificent,
14:15I have offered $50,000 to anyone
14:17who can successfully perform the coffin of blood.
14:22And by that I mean, anyone who survives it.
14:33Mickey!
14:34Mickey!
14:35Where the hell could she be?
14:38Mickey!
14:40Let's try that.
14:42Help!
14:44It hurts.
14:45Help!
14:47Mickey!
14:48Imagine if this had been human-less.
14:57A graphic description of the impossibility of escaping the coffin of blood.
15:03This is the best I've ever seen.
15:05I've loved you.
15:08Oh! Oh!
15:09Help!
15:11Oh, my God!
15:12You see nothing like this? There's no door.
15:14Nothing. Well, there's gotta be a trigger or something. Come on.
15:16I don't know. I don't know.
15:18Hey, I see her. I see her. Mickey! Mickey!
15:21Hold on. We'll get you out.
15:23Jack!
15:24And now, the great Montero will attempt the impossible.
15:39Jack! What are you doing?
15:41This crystal might be the lock. If I can just try it out.
15:47Jack!
15:54Here we go!
15:54Ryan. Pass me the flashlight!
15:58Dim the lights, please.
16:01Are you ready?
16:03The great Montero is ready!
16:10Hurry!
16:10She's going to be...
16:17Oh!
16:18Oh!
16:23Mom!
16:26Mom!
16:29Mom!
16:30Mom!
16:31Mom!
16:33Mom!
16:35Mom!
16:36Mom!
16:38Mom!
16:42Mom!
16:47Mom!
16:49Mom!
16:49Mom!
16:50Mom!
16:51Mom!
16:53Mom!
16:53Mom!
16:53Mom!
16:55Mom!
16:56There we go.
16:57Isn't that weird?
16:58A girl like Lila could turn out to be such a psycho.
17:01Never judge a book by its cover.
17:03Or a man by the jacket that he's wearing.
17:05Yeah, but you never know, Jack.
17:07Mickey could turn out to be a real schizo.
17:09Oh, I'd have to be to work with you, wouldn't I?
17:13You got anything in a 40 regular?
17:15Oh, this is you, my boy.
17:16This is just you.
17:17As a matter of fact, maybe we can find you pants and a ball and chain to match.
17:46Thank you so much.
