00:02Nice work, rat. I'll take it from here.
00:05That's my design. The tension ratio is...
00:10Who gave you permission to speak? You're just a set of hands.
00:15Everyone, look at my new trapdoor concept. Brilliant, isn't it?
00:19Clean this mess up. You repel me.
00:25Victoria strikes again. Poor girl won't last a week.
00:30One, two, three, four.
00:35Welcome to the Phantom Empire, where logic dies and miracles are born.
00:44Tonight marks the beginning of our annual King of Magic tournament.
00:49The winner will not only receive a million dollars, but will inherit the throne of this very theater.
01:06Mr. Blackwood, I was just leaving
01:13You took that slap too quietly
01:15Like you're used to pain
01:17I need this job, sir
01:19Please
01:22A scared prop girl?
01:24No
01:25Your eyes
01:27They don't look like a prop master's
01:29They look like a hunter's
01:31Be careful, Chloe
01:32The mirrors in this place have eyes
01:40Is this a comedy show?
01:43What a loser
01:47A magician who cannot escape is a joke
01:49You are disqualified
01:51Get her out
01:55Wait
02:02The lock core was swapped
02:04This isn't standard equipment
02:06It's sabotage
02:07Care to explain, Victoria?
02:09That's your personalized mark on it
02:13Interesting
02:14Let her pass
02:16Next
02:17I saw Julian defend you today
02:21It reminded me of that night
02:22This is the tank your father died in
02:25The lock
02:26It was swapped too
02:27Just like today
02:29Godfrey
02:38Enjoying the show?
02:39Teach me
02:42You want to play with fire?
02:44You'll get burned
02:45I'm already in hell
02:46I don't mind the heat
02:50Fine
02:50But the price is high
02:52Be my assistant
02:53Be my shadow
02:55And do exactly as I say
02:59Deal
03:03You want to be my assistant?
03:05Prove you're not useless
03:06Seven locks
03:07Bare hands
03:0830 seconds
03:09Or get out
03:10Start the clock
03:21Done
03:2421 seconds
03:25Acceptable
03:28Well, well
03:29Look what we have here
03:31Heard the little prop girl
03:32Is trying to cozy up to the star
03:34Julian, your taste is getting worse
03:36Miss Victoria
03:38We are just rehearsing
03:39Rehearsing?
03:40Or angling for a role
03:42You think playing nice
03:43Gets you a spot on stage?
03:45Please
03:46Don't hurt me
03:50My eyes
03:51You!
03:52What did you do?
03:54You'll pay for this
03:55Both of you!
03:58Nice performance
03:59Tears and all
04:00It was an accident
04:02My hand slipped
04:04Put away your claws, little cat
04:06Save them for the real show
04:08Victoria is just an appetizer
04:11This face
04:12Why does it look so familiar?
04:15Get me everything on this Chloe girl
04:17Where she's from
04:17Who she knows
04:18Everything
04:20I hate coincidence
04:24So the little prop girl
04:26Wants to be a magician
04:28Let's see a heart piercing trick first
04:35Gutsy
04:36I like it
04:37You're in
04:38You can be Julian's assistant
04:40For the team competition
04:41Thank you, Mr. Blackwood
05:00Chloe
05:01Over here
05:05I found this
05:06You need to see it
05:08I saw him with my own eyes back then
05:10He manipulated the lock
05:12But you need hard proof
05:14To completely bring him down
05:16He will pay for this
05:17With his life
05:19Touching
05:21So
05:23How far down the rabbit hole are you?
05:32Goodbye, trash
05:36And now
05:37The pierced heart
05:43Chloe?
05:43Is that real blood?
05:44Oh my god
05:47Behold
05:48The blood of sacrifice
05:49Becomes the ribbon of destiny
05:55Bravo
05:55Bravo
05:57Incredible
05:59How is she still standing?
06:01Sit down
06:02Don't move
06:09Idiot
06:10Why didn't you scream?
06:11And ruin the show?
06:12You wouldn't like that
06:13Next time
06:14Don't gamble with your life
06:14Not for a show
06:15Not for me
06:16Who tampered with the box, Julian?
06:18Was it you?
06:19Testing your new assistant?
06:22You think you won?
06:24This is just the warm-up
06:25Midnight
06:26Rehearsal room
06:27For what?
06:30To teach you how to actually survive in this hellhole
06:52Khloe
07:08Breathe, Julian breathe
07:10Don't you dare die on me
07:17That puts us even
07:19You owe me a life now
07:25Julian is getting too close to the prop girl
07:27Keep eyes on him
07:29A tragic accident
07:32Happens anytime
07:37You look just like her
07:38A ghost from my past
07:41Sir?
07:42Who?
07:42The daughter of a friend
07:44He died screaming in a water tank
07:46Just like his daughter disappeared
07:48That sounds tragic
07:49But it's not me
07:50My parents died in a car crash when I was ten
07:55Let's hope so
07:56For your sake
07:57Coincidences can be deadly
08:05He's testing you
08:06From now on
08:06You never
08:07I mean never
08:07Meet him alone
08:08Why do you care?
08:09You are his son
08:10His masterpiece
08:12Just stay alive, Khloe
08:16Don't let that pretty face fool you, girl
08:19Godfrey's owned that boy for 14 years
08:21He's a weapon, not a man
08:28Weapon or not
08:30I need to know whose hand is on the trigger
08:38Get away
08:48She is a thief
08:50A fraud
08:51That water escape design was mine
08:54Stolen?
08:55Really?
08:57Disqualify her
08:57Miss Vance
08:59Do you have anything to say?
09:00Look at her
09:01She can't even deny it
09:02Kick her out
09:03Now
09:10You say I stole your trash
09:12Honey, I have better taste than that
09:14You
09:15Since you claim ownership of everything
09:17Let me create something new right now
09:19Only for you
09:20Dare to take it?
09:29No!
09:30Get away!
09:31No!
09:32No!
09:33No!
09:33No!
09:40Look at that
09:41That is genius
09:43Stop laughing, all of you
09:48Thank you
09:52Daddy, did you see that?
09:53She humiliated me
09:55Make her pay for this
09:56Shut your mouth
09:56You embarrassed the family enough for one night
10:00That girl
10:01Khloe
10:02She's getting too much attention
10:03She cannot stay until the finals
10:05Prepare to act
10:06Make sure she fails
10:13Khloe
10:22Khloe
10:22Julian, let me go
10:24Your hand is going to break
10:25Shut up
10:26I'm not letting you die
10:27You need those hands
10:28Drop me
10:29I said
10:30Even if my hand tears off
10:31I won't let you fall
10:41Are you hurt?
10:44Please!
10:45Please!
10:45I swear I don't know who did it
10:47The wire was cut
10:49Who paid you to kill her?
10:50Victoria
10:51It was Victoria's people
10:52I just looked the other way
10:56If she gets a single scratch again
10:58I will bury you myself
11:02Don't look at me like that
11:03Don't fall in love with me, Chloe
11:05There are no happy endings here
11:15I'm so tired, Dad
11:21You're Godry's adopted son
11:23Why are you helping me?
11:25Because I hate him just as much as you do
11:27I had no childhood
11:29No our identity
11:31I was just a money-making machine to him
11:33A puppet
11:33Conditioned to bleed for his applause
11:35You have this
11:36Fire in your eyes
11:37And I want to watch that fire
11:39Burn his whole empire to the ground
11:41Julian, I...
11:42Don't
11:43Not yet
11:46Save until the revenge is done
11:56You're late
11:57Over here
11:58It's the security footage from 14 years ago
12:01It shows exactly how Godfrey switched the locks on your father's tank
12:05It's all in there
12:11The finale
12:13That's when he pays with his life
12:18I've waited 14 years for this
12:21His time is up
12:22We end him at the finale
12:24How?
12:25He won't just walk into a trap
12:27The mirror cage
12:28We lure him to the center of the illusion
12:31We make him feel the exact same suffocating despair my father felt
12:35Godfrey is paranoid
12:36He'll see it coming
12:37Not if he thinks he's already won
12:39I need you to betray me
12:41Fake a betrayal to lower his guard
12:43I can do that
12:43But what if...
12:45What if it's not fake?
12:46What if you actually stab me in the back?
12:50Then you kill me yourself
12:52With your own hands
12:58See you at the finale
13:03Boss
13:03We followed the girl
13:05And
13:06Did she lead you to anything interesting?
13:09She had a secret meeting
13:10With Elias
13:11The old prop master
13:14The old man
13:15So it's him pulling the strings behind the scenes
13:19Make him disappear
13:20Tonight
13:40Let me go
13:41Godfrey
13:42Come out here
13:43He is innocent
13:44You framed him
13:50Miss him already, Chloe?
13:52You know he didn't do it
13:54Careful now
13:54Don't want to follow in his footsteps
13:57Or worse
13:58Get this garbage out of my sight
14:06Stop
14:07If you strike now, we lose everything
14:10I can't just let him rot in there
14:12Endure it
14:13Until the finale
14:14We will make him pay
14:26The finale
14:27I will bring his empire down
14:37Stop
14:37We can't do this
14:39Not now
14:39Why?
14:40Because tomorrow we walk into hell?
14:41Exactly
14:42After tomorrow we might be dead
14:44Or worse
14:45Strangers again
14:47Then let's make tonight count
14:51You dirty little liar
14:56Victoria?
14:56Have you lost your mind?
14:58She's playing you, Dad
14:59She doesn't want the crown
15:00She wants Julian
15:01Is that it?
15:02Young lust?
15:03Boring
15:04No!
15:05It's not just lust
15:06Look at this!
15:07I ran her background check again
15:08Deeper
15:09This time
15:12Vance
15:13Jonathan Vance
15:14The daughter of my old friend
15:16Hiding right under my nose
15:18She thinks she can avenge him?
15:20Well then
15:21Let's give her a family reunion
15:23Tomorrow night
15:24She vanishes on that stage
15:26Just like her pathetic father
15:29And now
15:30The favorite to win
15:32Chloe Vance
15:34Chloe!
15:36Chloe!
15:38Enjoy your grand finale trash
15:40Go!
15:43Ruin her!
15:45No!
15:46Bugs!
15:47Gross!
15:48What is happening?
15:52Change
15:55Oh my god!
15:56They turned into gold!
15:58It's a miracle!
15:59No!
15:59That's impossible!
16:00A special thanks to Miss Victoria Blackwood
16:02For providing the little assistance
16:04Thank you, Victoria
16:07Boo!
16:08Shameless!
16:08Stop it!
16:09Stop laughing!
16:10She fainted!
16:12Get the stretcher!
16:15Spectacular show, my dear
16:17But the real trick
16:18Hasn't started yet
16:23Chloe!
16:24Look here!
16:24Chloe!
16:25Is it true you have no mentor?
16:26You just destroyed Victoria
16:28Do you think you've already won the crown?
16:33The show isn't over yet
16:37You two put on quite a show
16:39The Butterfly Storm
16:41She has talent, father
16:42I just didn't want it wasted
16:44Do not lie to me, boy
16:45I know exactly who she is
16:48You think you're playing a game?
16:49You think I'm blind?
16:50Tonight
16:50On that stage
16:52You expose her
16:53You tell the world she's a fraud
16:54Of Vance's little prat
16:56Or the old man disappears
16:57In that locked room
16:58Before the curtain falls
16:59I understand, father
17:00Good dog
17:01Now get out
17:08The safety overlap is bypassed, sir
17:10Once it locks
17:12It stays locked
17:15Let's see if she can escape from hell
17:17Ladies and gentlemen
17:19Prepare for the final act
17:21The Mirror Cage
17:22You're up, Chloe
17:23Go
17:25Just stick to the plan
17:34Ladies and gentlemen
17:35For the grand finale
17:36The Mirror Cage
17:38Tonight we need a special guest
17:40To witness this
17:41The impossible
17:42A pleasure, my dear
17:43Let's see if you can surprise me
17:45Please step into the reflection of truth
17:48Quite elaborate
17:50Just like your father used to make
17:53Let the show begin
17:56Surprise
17:58What is happening?
18:00Julian!
18:02Look closely, everyone
18:04This is what happens
18:05When an amateur
18:06Tries to play God
18:09No, no, the override isn't working
18:13It's stuck
18:14Let me out
18:17Little girl
18:18Just like her father
18:19Always forgetting to check the backup lock
18:23Dad
18:24Dad
18:24No
18:25I can't breathe
18:29Amazing
18:29Stop it
18:30She's dying in there
18:31You think I didn't know?
18:33Amateur tricks
18:34Now watch her disappear forever
18:37Julian
18:39You bastard
18:44Daddy
18:45I can't breathe
18:48Look at her
18:49Like father, like daughter
18:51Drowning rats always have that same look
18:54Bravo
18:55Stop it
18:57You're killing her
18:58Make a move
18:59And Elias dies in his cell tonight
19:01I have men waiting for the call
19:03Choose my son
19:04The girl's life
19:06You can only save one
19:10Good boy
19:12Now watch her
19:13I choose both
19:16What are you doing?
19:26Julian
19:27You saved
19:32Your little revenge plan
19:36Ends right here
19:41This woman
19:42Is the daughter of Vance
19:43The magician who died 14 years ago
19:45She infiltrated this theater
19:47To murder my father
19:48Murder?
19:49Oh my god
19:51Julian
19:52You
19:53Vance's little brat
19:55I knew it
19:56Guards
19:56Take her down
19:57Now
19:58I'll handle this
20:03Was any of it real?
20:04Tell me
20:05Take her to the basement
20:06Let go of me
20:07Julian
20:13Wait for me
20:33Was it all just a lie?
20:35Am I just a pawn to you?
20:40Julian
20:40Who are you really?
20:48Rise and shine
20:49Little rat
20:50You're gonna pay for what you did to my father
20:53Oh Vance
20:53Your father had that exact same look right before he drowned
20:56Angry
20:57Unwilling
20:58Powerless
20:59Show her
21:00Let's break her little heart
21:03To my father
21:04Godfrey
21:04The true king of magic
21:06See
21:07Your knight's return to his king
21:09Did you really think he loved you?
21:12No
21:12That's not true
21:13He used you
21:15Just another prop in my show
21:17A disposable tool
21:18Like your father
21:19Enjoy the dark
21:20It's the only audience you have left
21:30I won't let go
21:31Even if my hand breaks
21:35Was it all a lie?
21:37Julian
21:38Were you playing me the whole time?
21:45The code
22:02Godford always has a backup
22:04Always
22:04We need a plan C
22:06Plan C
22:06Isn't plan A risky enough?
22:09Arrest
22:09Imprisonment
22:10Breakout
22:11Only if I betray you completely
22:13Will he drop his guard
22:14You idiot
22:15You actually did it
22:25Break
22:26Just
22:28One
22:29More
22:41Okay
22:44Last show
22:45I'll play the lead
22:59Tonight
23:00We celebrate
23:01Not just magic
23:02But legacy
23:03My legacy
23:14You almost made me believe it
23:16That look in your eyes
23:17I hated you
23:18Good
23:19If you didn't believe it
23:20He wouldn't have either
23:21Pain makes it real
23:22Is everything set?
23:23The ultimate escape
23:24Starts in ten minutes
23:25I've rigged the display screen
23:27The moment he steps in the box
23:28I reverse the lock mechanism
23:29And the world sees
23:31What kind of monster
23:31He really is
23:32The video is queued up
23:33Fourteen years ago
23:35Tonight it ends
23:36Are you ready to destroy
23:37Everything you have?
23:38Your name
23:39Your status
23:39It was never mine
23:40It was always blood money
23:42Burn it down, Chloe
23:43Magic requires sacrifice
23:45And I
23:46Have sacrificed more than anyone knows
23:49To give you perfection
23:52Watch closely, Dad
23:53Tonight I perform my greatest trick
23:59Tonight I give you the miracle of the century
24:02The ultimate escape
24:05Is that her?
24:07I thought she was arrested
24:08Security!
24:09Get this fugitive off my stage
24:11No one is coming for you, Godfrey
24:13The show is over
24:15You like traps so much?
24:17Try this one
24:20Lockdown initiated
24:21Gas release in three
24:23Two
24:23What did you do?
24:25Open this door
24:25I can't breathe
24:26That's the same gas
24:28You prepared for me, isn't it?
24:29Enjoy the taste
24:30Look at your hero
24:31Look at what he really is
24:35You killed Bass
24:37Monster
24:38No!
24:39Turn it off
24:39It's a lie
24:40Everyone sees you now
24:41Pathetics
24:43A monster
24:44If I go down
24:45I'll take you down with me
24:48Chloe
24:49Move
24:56God
24:57You
24:58Julian?
24:59No
25:00No
25:01I told you
25:02I'd get you
25:08Julian!
25:09No!
25:10Someone get a medic now!
25:13Look at them!
25:15The great hands of the phantom
25:17Useless claws now!
25:19You want nothing, Chloe
25:20You hear me?
25:21Nothing!
25:23Don't
25:24Don't
25:25Don't look
25:26You idiot
25:28Why did you do that?
25:30Why?
25:31Will he recover?
25:32Tell me he can fix this
25:33The neurotoxin acted too fast
25:35The nerves are shattered, Ms. Varch
25:36He'll keep the hands
25:37But the fine motor skills are gone
25:39Forever
25:40Gone?
25:42You mean
25:43He can never perform again?
25:46Ma'am
25:47Julian is stable at the hospital
25:48Should we arrange a visit?
25:50No
25:51Transfer him to the best nursing home in the city
25:53Pay for everything
25:54But
25:55He keeps asking for you
25:56I said no
25:57I have a theater to run
25:59Get out
26:01Ms. Vance
26:01We have a personnel issue
26:03Someone applied for the janitor position
26:04Why are you bothering me with cleaning staff hires?
26:06Just handle it
26:07It's
26:07Julian
26:08He was discharged this morning
26:12Julian?
26:15His hands
26:16He can barely hold a broom, ma'am
26:17Should I send him away?
26:21Let him be
26:35Just one more fold
26:36Come on
26:37Fix it
26:42Happy Valentine's Day, Chloe
26:44It's
26:44It's not perfect, but
26:46Get rid of it
26:48I just wanted to
26:49Look at your hands, Julian
26:50You can't even fold a piece of paper
26:52You're not a magician anymore
26:54You're not even qualified to be my assistant
26:56Go sweep the floor
26:57That's all you're good for now
27:04Show's over, folks!
27:05Everybody stay down or bleed!
27:10The Phantom Empire
27:11Looks better from the inside
27:13Sign the transfer papers, little girl
27:15Hand it over
27:16Over my dead body
27:17That can be arranged
27:19Godfrey is gone
27:20Your little boyfriend is crippled
27:21You have no one
27:23She has me
27:26Look who it is
27:27The broken prince
27:28What are you gonna do?
27:29Clean my shoes?
27:31Let her go
27:32Take me instead
27:33I'm the one you wanna hurt, right?
27:34You?
27:35You're a joke
27:36You have zero value
27:37Why would I trade a queen for a broken pawn?
27:39Because I can define value
27:41I propose a gamble
27:42No!
27:4224 Julian, don't!
27:43The Inferno Cage
27:44Seven locks, 60 seconds
27:46Inside a burning hell
27:47The trick that Vant never finished
27:48With those hands?
27:49If I die
27:49The theater is yours
27:50If I escape
27:51You leave her alone
27:52Forever
27:53Deal
27:53I love watching a moth fly into the fire
27:57Burn, magician!
27:59Burn to ash!
28:0024 Julian, don't!
28:02Open the cage!
28:03Come on
28:04Work
28:04Work
28:08Please don't leave me
28:10Not again!
28:15Time's up, hero
28:175
28:184
28:193
28:192
28:215
28:224
28:234
28:233
28:234

28:244
28:245
28:245
28:245
28:245
28:245
28:255
28:255
28:265
28:275
28:275
28:27A magician's hands
28:29Never forget the trick
28:32Julian, you idiot!
28:34You crazy idiot!
28:35Told you
28:35I'm your escape artist
28:39This time
28:41I'm not letting go
28:43My chief magician
28:44I'm not letting go
28:45I'm not letting go
28:46I'm not letting go
28:48I'm not letting go
28:52I'm not letting go
28:53I'm not letting go
