00:00In an open field, Michael stares at beautiful colors in the sky.
00:03Suddenly there's a shot and a woman screaming, only for Michael to wake up.
00:07That night Michael goes to the casino where he's been working for three months.
00:10By now he's learned the entire layout and the location of every camera.
00:14He's befriended all the employees by learning their preferences and their daily routines,
00:17he's also become very familiar with the regular clients.
00:20Being a good employee allows him to serve the VIP clients too,
00:23and sometimes he gets to hear confidential information.
00:25After his shift is over, Michael takes off all the prosthetics he wears on his face to
00:30protect his identity.
00:31It turns out he's a co-man and he's been working in the casino to get inside information.
00:35He's also been installing little engages in various machines and tables.
00:39After three months of hard work, he's finally ready to win some money.
00:42Wearing a different disguise, he enters the casino and uses his phone to activate a hidden
00:46gadget that make cards fly out from a shuffling machine.
00:49Then he goes to a table where he uses his own magnetic dice to win,
00:52since earlier he installed a button that let him change the result.
00:55Next he enters the room of a VIP client,
00:58who is sleeping because Michael put a sedative in his drink during his shift.
01:01After the mess he created with the cards, the VIP players will be moved to the private room,
01:05so Michael steals this man's gold pass and his fancy clothes.
01:08Now Michael rushes to the service elevator and puts a chip of his own in the control panel.
01:13When the employee moving the new cards finds him,
01:15Michael pretends to be lost and tries to file a complaint as a VIP,
01:18so the employee agrees to take him to the right floor in the service elevator.
01:21Then Michael uses his phone again to make the elevator stop and turn off the lights.
01:26While the employee tries to get help, Michael changes the box of new cards for his own box,
01:30which he hid there earlier. Eventually Michael activates everything
01:33again and finally enters the VIP room where he sits at the main table with Alex.
01:37Michael also puts on special sunglasses that let him see the numbers on the modified cards he sneaked in.
01:42When the game begins, he makes sure not to win every round to avoid suspicion and make the other
01:46players bet more. Suddenly Michael's cards change without him noticing and he bets all the money he
01:51won so far. The other players do the same and Michael feels smug, however he's shocked to see
01:55his hand actually losing because they aren't the same numbers. The third player wins all the money
02:00and quits the game to keep it. Getting suspicious, Michael follows him down the corridor and takes the
02:04suitcase with the money from him, only to find random papers in it. Suddenly the lights flicker and
02:09the guy's face changes, revealing he isn't the player and Michael follow the wrong guy. At that moment the
02:14guards arrive and capture Michael while he watches Alex escape unnoticed. Michael is then tied to a
02:19chair in a storage room and a guard punches him before the casino owner Victor asks about the money.
02:23When Michael tries to act as a VIP client, he gets punched again, so he tries to explain that a
02:28different con man took the money. Victor doesn't believe him and gives him one week to bring the
02:32money back, or there will be terrible consequences. Afterward Michael travels to a plain casino in the
02:37middle of nowhere, where the guards keep him at gunpoint. However they step back when their boss Leon
02:41welcomes Michael as an old friend. While they share some drinks, Michael notices a necklace with
02:46a symbol that matches Alex's tattoo. He asks about its meaning, but Leon first makes him share what
02:51happened. Then Leon explains that there are people like psychics and witches who are born with the
02:55ability to dive into their consciousness, which is like a special room where they're allowed to pull
02:59off a supernatural activity. In Alex's case, it seems he has the power to change things that other
03:04people see. Using a book with drawings representing the legend, Leon explains that everyone in the world is
03:09bound by a collective unconsciousness and all myths come from there. People who have a special power
03:13can step out of their consciousness and enter the collective one. It's similar to an alternate
03:17universe that gives you access to infinite possibilities and all of mankind's cumulative
03:21knowledge. Normal people can also enter this place but they can't get out without a special amulet
03:25that works as a compass. Michael laughs because he doesn't believe any of this and Leon gets angry,
03:30so he gives Michael the book containing the list of people with powers and tells him to find Alex alone.
03:34The next day Alex meets with Gordon and gives him the money. Then Gordon reveals he has a compass
03:39and asks Alex to teach him how to use the magic door. However Alex refuses, explaining he likes working
03:44with Gordon and wouldn't want to lose him there. Gordon will need a partner he trusts to help him
03:48navigate. Back to Michael, he asks Leon about the people on the list and Leon swears they're real
03:53because he saw their powers himself. This gives him an idea, he could get the money by hiring people
03:57with powers to beat the casino. First there's Eric, a rich kid with telekinesis who doesn't want to work.
04:02Then there's Tony, a taxi driver who can control electronic devices. Usually he only messes with
04:08small stuff, like making the meter run faster, changing the traffic lights, or activating the
04:13police car sirens. Michael visits them both and easily convinces them to join a special team to
04:17get tons of money. Next there's Kevin, a hypnotist whose parents sent to a mental institution. The
04:22doctors make lots of money with him because he programs people to cure their depression. Michael visits
04:27him at the institution and convinces him to escape with him. When a nurse sees them and tries to chase
04:31them, Eric creates a distraction by making the other patients start a protest asking for better
04:36living conditions. While the patients block the nurse's way, Tony uses his power to steal an
04:40ambulance and open the crossing gate, so the group gets to escape. The following day,
04:44they practice how to use their powers to cheat at the casino and what gestures to use to communicate
04:48silently. Eric will use his telekinesis to move the dice, and in his subconscious space he appears
04:53moving the dice manually. Kevin will hypnotize other players or the employees, and his subconscious
04:58space shows him manipulating an ice statue. Lastly Tony will have to deal with the cameras.
05:03When he uses his power, his subconscious space appears to be a storm with the chips floating
05:07around him. They play a few games with Leon's people and at first it goes well, but soon it
05:11turns chaotic. While Kevin accidentally makes an employee blind, a client of Leon's freaks out when
05:16he loses and takes out his gun. Tony gets scared and accidentally short-circuits the camera.
05:21Michael runs to tackle the angry client and calms him down before deciding they'll need a better way
05:25to communicate. The next day Michael attends at a funeral where a bunch of sad women are harassing
05:30Veronica, begging for her help. Suddenly a car parks nearby and some men in black come out.
05:34A terrified Veronica runs away and drops her headphones in the process, so Michael grabs them.
05:39When a second car with mysterious men shows up, Veronica hides inside an abandoned building and
05:44waits for the men to leave. Then Michael gives her back the headphones, saying he isn't one of those men.
05:49Veronica tries to leave without a word so Michael follows her to ask some questions.
05:53However Veronica can read minds and says she isn't interested in his plan. At that moment one of
05:58the men find them and Michael holds him back while Veronica runs. The rest of the men corner her in
06:02an alley, however Michael appears on the roof and helps her escape. The next day Gordon follows Alex's
06:07instructions to get started on his training. A hypnotist finds him and quickly sends him to
06:11the world of the subconscious, where now Gordon has the power to control any person he wants. While Gordon
06:16is unconscious on the ground, he forces a street painter to make a copy of a famous painting.
06:20Then Gordon controls a museum employee and makes him trade the fake painting for the real one,
06:25which was about to be transferred to another museum. While the fake painting is taken away in a van,
06:29Gordon wakes up and buys the real famous art from the confused painter for just a few bucks.
06:33None of the people he controlled remember what happened. Back to Michael, he introduces Veronica to
06:38the rest of the group, explaining she can read and transmit thoughts. She'll be passing Michael's
06:42instructions to the others while they play. To practice, Michael tells her to enter her
06:46subconscious space, which looks like a very peculiar forest. Then he thinks about Eric moving
06:51the city's big bell, so Veronica passes the message to Eric's mind. After Eric does so,
06:56Michael wants two people to run while screaming for help so Veronica passes that message to Kevin,
07:01who quickly pulls it off. Tony is told to make most of the lights in the area to short circuit,
07:05causing more people to get scared and all the birds to fly away. Lastly Michael asks Veronica to tell
07:10the people in the street that there's an earthquake coming. As Veronica passes the suggestion around,
07:15the combination of her words and all the strange things caused by the others convince people that
07:19there really is an earthquake happening. Everyone runs away until only Michael's team is left.
07:23Afterward Michael steals some drinks from a restaurant while explaining his plan.
07:27They'll enter the casino with fake identities and each of them will arrive at different times except
07:30for Veronica, who will pretend to be Michael's fiancé. This means they need to go shopping for fancy
07:35clothes and see a stylist to get a makeover. With only two days left, the team finally goes to the
07:40casino.
07:41Michael plays while Veronica is the passive trophy wife, that way she can concentrate on
07:45passing the messages around. Tony takes care of the cameras while playing the slots, which he's
07:50manipulating as well. Eric is among Michael's opponents, making everyone lose on purpose so
07:54Michael can win. Once he's won enough on this table, he and Veronica move to a different one
07:59where Kevin is controlling the employee. At first the plan goes smoothly, but Eric is drinking too much
08:04and gets tired of losing, so he starts manipulating the roulette to win some money too. He also starts
08:09talking to Michael aloud instead of sending his thoughts. At the slots, Tony gets too enthusiastic
08:13and starts to control too many machines at the same time. The guards get suspicious so they drag Eric
08:18and Tony away, but when they're about to get in the elevator, the rest of the team is there.
08:23Kevin hypnotizes the guards to make them leave and the team hides inside the elevator for a talk.
08:27Michael scolds them for what they did and explains they could get killed for cheating.
08:31Afterward the team agrees to only follow Michael's instructions and they move to the last table.
08:35Michael bets all in while Tony controls the camera, Kevin takes care of the employee,
08:39and Eric manipulates the dice. The plan goes well and Michael wins 10 million dollars.
08:44Then the group goes to the beach to celebrate with drinks and a bonfire, although Veronica
08:48sits away from them. Michael checks on her and points out they could work together a few more
08:52times to get more money, but Veronica isn't interested. An argument ensues and they both insult
08:56each other. Meanwhile Alex has dinner with Gordon and informs him they must cancel their lessons.
09:01Alex insists he can't continue to teach him until Gordon gets a partner. Then Gordon asks about
09:06Michael and Alex tells him about the new team. Gordon isn't happy to hear this and announces
09:10they'll have to intervene. The next morning the team is on the road where they're suddenly chased
09:14by an SUV. When the mysterious car gets ahead of them, Tony drives around it and tries to lose it,
09:19only for a second SUV to join the chase. In a matter of minutes, the SUVs surround the car and
09:24force
09:24Tony to stop in the middle of the road. Victor comes out with his men, who capture the whole team
09:29and tie their wrists up. Michael explains they have the money, however Victor is now more interested
09:34in their powers. Since Michael doesn't have any abilities, he's taken to the edge of a cliff and
09:38shot, so his body rolls down into the woods. The group is devastated to watch this and they hide
09:43in their subconscious spaces to grieve. What they don't know is that this is a trick. Michael is
09:47fine and taken to see Gordon, who turns out to be his father. Gordon cuts the ropes from his son's
09:52wrists and Michael freaks as he realizes his dad has been behind this all along. The guards hold him
09:57back while Gordon points out that Michael has ignored him for 10 years and this was the only
10:00way to get his attention. Gordon also reminds him that when Michael was a child they would dream
10:04about finding the special door, and now he knows where it is. Sometime later at Victor's casino,
10:09Tony, Kevin, and Eric are being forced to work as employees to make the clients lose.
10:13One afternoon when they return to their rooms, they find a plumber working in their bathroom.
10:18It turns out to be Michael in disguise, who notices Veronica is missing.
10:22The others explain she refused to work for Victor and she's been in a coma all this time because
10:26she hasn't left her subconscious space since she saw Michael supposedly die. That night,
10:30the lights flicker above the game tables while the guys surround Victor to announce they're quitting.
10:34The guards immediately take them to a store room and leave a newbie to watch the door,
10:38not noticing it's Michael. He frees his friends and then shares his knowledge about the casino to
10:42make a plan. Kevin forces a guard to use his keycard on the electronic lock while Michael uses a stolen
10:47key to leave the elevator stuck in the basement. The next corridor is blocked by lasers,
10:51so Michael leaves the guys to deal with it while he goes looking for Veronica. He puts on a mask
10:56he
10:56left there earlier and throws a gas bomb to bring down the guard, then he rescues an unconscious
11:00Veronica from her room. In the corridor Tony turns off a bunch of lasers, but he can't do all of
11:05them.
11:05At least now there's enough room for Eric to carefully move among them without touching them.
11:09He manages to make it to the other side and finds the casinos safe, so he starts using his powers
11:14to
11:14force it open. The lasers go down, but they also activate an alarm. While Michael reunites with the team
11:20the guards try to reach the corridor, only to find the elevators not working and a hypnotized
11:24employee shooting at them. The man is brought down very quickly and the guards enter the corridor
11:28at the same time Eric finally opens the safe, so the team rushes insides and locks the door before
11:32the guards' shots can reach them. Victor tells his men to kill the team as soon as they come out.
11:37Afterward Michael announces their plan is over unless they wake Veronica up. The others try to warn him
11:42that he may die if he enters the subconscious space because he has no powers, but Michael wants to do
11:46it
11:46anyway. Kevin then hypnotizes Michael, who appears floating in a white space. Important objects from
11:51his life float around him and he hears conversations from the past, reminding him of his mother's death
11:56and all the illegal jobs he did through the years, including the time he spent in jail. Veronica's
12:00voice is heard as well, calling him selfish. A door appears and Michael crosses it, falling into a big
12:05field with multiple door and beautiful colors in the sky. There's a storm coming so he runs to find
12:10cover behind a door. The storm quickly catches up to him and almost hits him, but he raises a hand
12:15and the storm freezes. With just a gesture, he lets it fall on the ground and cleans the field.
12:20Next Michael sits on the ground and concentrates on his memories of Veronica. Suddenly the ground
12:24starts bursting and transforming to change the field into the city. Michael takes the stairs and
12:29finds Veronica staring at the colors in the sky. When he tries to come closer, he finds a force field
12:33surrounding her. He pounds on it a few times while yelling, but Veronica never reacts. Michael then tries
12:39sending out his thoughts. This causes the buildings to go down and he appears in barren land under the rain.
12:44The force field is still protecting Victoria, but now she can hear him. She says she doesn't want to
12:49go back to the real world because there's nobody waiting for her. Michael tries to explain he's
12:53actually alive but she doesn't believe him, so he sends out the memory of the day they met. The chase
12:58happens again and when Michael appears on the roof, he tells her he only has her. Veronica grabs his hand
13:03and the duo is transported to the field with all the doors. They share a kiss before Veronica leaves
13:08through one of the doors, causing her to wake up in real life. However since it's Michael's first time,
13:13he must find his own way out. A flashback reveals Gordon taught Michael everything about the
13:17subconscious space and that he wanted his son to be his partner, that way they could start a
13:21business together using the doors. He also gave him the compass and promised to send help.
13:25In the present, Michael sees Alex coming out of a door and starts following him as the area
13:29transforms into the casino. Michael follows Alex out and together they watch the scene of his presumed death.
13:34Alex puts himself and Michael in the memory while explaining how to access a person's mind. At that
13:39moment Michael wakes up in the safe and announces they're leaving with the money.
13:42Tony deactivates the lock and the door opens, but the corridor is empty. It turns out that while he
13:47was still in the subconscious space, Michael entered Victor's mind and made him believe the team had
13:51already escaped with the money. Victor told his guards to go after them, explaining the empty corridors.
13:56The team easily escapes with the money and meet with Alex on the beach. He says he has a proposition
14:01for them while a person nearby makes fire appear on their hand. Three months later Michael agrees to do
14:06one job with Gordon before two hypnotists send them to the subconscious space.
