Catalina sets up the camera on the stool. "Is it ready?" Daniel asks his sister.

"Yeah, wait one second. Okay, three, two, one, go," she says quietly.

"More than anything in his life,
Jack wanted to be the most famous magician who ever lived and I can't say he achieved it, but I do hope wherever he is,
it is full of magic," Daniel says to the camera.

"The point is," Merrit begins. "The point is, the point of why we're here is to say that we are not, we cannot quit now. We've started something bigger than all of us. We have to finish it."

"Remember the name Jack Wilder when you see us live,
5 Pointz, Queens, 7:00," Henley tells them before Catalina shuts off the camera and pressing a few buttons on her computer.

"All right," she says. "It's posted."

Merritt stands up. "Let's go blow some balloons."

Catalina stands infront of the tvs and watch the news reporters talk.

"A stunning turnout here in 5 Pointz as the renegade Horsemen taunt the FBI into a final showdown," one man says.

"The Horsemen have invited us to their final round of their four-act face-off with the FBI. What do they have in store? We're about to find out," a female news caster says.

Daniel walks up behind his sister and puts a hand on her shoulder. "You ready?" He asks.

Catalina turns to face him and smirks. "Let's do this."

Catalina walks over to her computer and pushes multiple buttons turning on the patterned lights to fill the walls of the buildings.

"Alright, I'm gonna need you guys to stand infront of the holgraphic recepter."

"The what?" Merritt asks.

Catalina rolls her eyes. "The glowing ball on a stick."

Catalina stands infront of it as well. "Okay, ready? One.. two..three," she says before pushing a button in her hand.

"What is magic?" Daniel asks as his and the three other Horsemen's holographic figures appear on the building walls. "Magic is deception, but deception designed to delight, to entertain, to inspire."

"It is about belief," Catalina says.

"Faith," Merritt adds on.

"And trust," Henley finishes.

"Without those qualities, magic, as a form, would no longer exist," Merritt's holograph tells the crowd.

"But what happens if these qualities are not used for their higher purpose?" Henley asks.

"But instead they are used to lie and cheat," Catalina states.

"For personal gain or for greed," Daniel says.

"Then it's no longer magic," Catalina tells them. "It's crime."

"So tonight, for our final act, you're gonna help us set a few things right," Henley says.

Catalina smirks and winks before their four figures leave the walls. "Showtime," Merritt says rubbing his hands together. Catalina smirks and shares a look with Henley, while Daniel just snaps.

They all walk to the cage elevator and press the button up. Catalina sighs as she leans on the cage, her arms and ankles crossed. "This feels wrong without Jack."

"Yeah but it has to be done."

Catalina rolls her eyes. "I know that, you wonderful brother. I was just saying."

"Daniel?" Merritt asks.

"Yeah?"

"As our, let's call it, year of living dangerously comes close to a rare moment of vulnerability. I'd like to express a sentiment to you about our relationship."

"Okay," Daniel says as Catalina bites her lip, knowing this will be funny.

"Well, when I first met you,
I thought you were kind of a...dick."

Daniel chuckles lightly. "Oh."

Catalina and Henley both laugh. "And?" Henley asks.

Merritt looks at her and shakes his head lightly. "Oh, no, that's it."

"That's very nice," Daniel says.

"Yeah," Merrit agrees.

"I'm touched."

"Yeah, yeah, just from the heart," Merritt tells him placing his hands on his chest.

"Well, I didn't tell you where I was touched."

"Oh, you!"

Henley laughs. "Oh, God, what are we gonna do when this is over?"

"We're on our own," Daniel shrugs. "Our instructions run out after the show."

"Even if there is no "Eye,"" Henley begins. "If we were completely played and we spend the next 20 years in jail, then, I just want to say that..."

"I know, me, too," Danny cuts her off.

"Whoa," Merritt chuckles. "Little too sentimental for me."

Catalina looks between Henley and her brother. "When are you guys going to just admit your feelings and fuck... again?"

Daniel turns to his sister. "Okay, you know what Catalina--"

"Oh, hey look we're here," she says pointing up.

"Hello, New York!" Henley greets the crowd, who cheer in return. "Thank you for the magic, and thank you for being such
an incredible and dedicated audience. Unfortunately, like all good things, it must come to an end."

"So we would like to start
our show tonight... by saying goodbye," Catalina confesses, the crowd still cheering. "All we wanted was to bring the world to a magic show."

"And thereby bring a little magic
back to the world," Daniel says. The four out of five Horsemen join hands.

"This has been one hell of a ride for all of us," Merritt tells the crowd. "But it's time for us to disappear."

"Good night, New York," Danny says

"And thank you for believing in us," Catalina says.

"In all of us," Henley says smiling at Catalina.

The four horseman's holographs jump off the building and turn into money, while the real Horsemen's run across the roof.
