They ran to the roof, trying to avoid the cops that they knew were waiting downstairs. Jack broke off the change into a police uniform to trick Rhodes and the rest tried to outrun the agent from Interpol, Alma.
They managed to make it to an alley where Merritt, Henley and Andy jumped over, though Alma managed to train her gun on Danny.
Knowing she couldn't shoot, he waved his fingers a little before dropping of the small wall and out of sight.
After managing to loose both of the agents, they all met at their hotel before catching an early flight out to New York.
They were all in the old apartment that they were summoned to one year ago, burning all the files they had.
Danny quickly broke, Rhodes' phone, knowing they were on to them.
"The firewall's down," Henley told them. "Do they know about this?"
"They who?" Danny asked as Andy and Jack continued to burn paper.
"They, 'them' whoever we're working for." Henley told him angrily.
"Who are we working for?" Merritt countered. "And are we prepared to go to jail for them?"
Just then Jack found his tarot card and froze.
"Stop being paranoid," Danny told the mentalist.
"It really does happen,"' Merritt countered, continuing a conversation no one could keep up with.
"It happened to you," Danny told him. "Doesn't mean it's going to happen to us." He handed Jack more papers to burn.
"Guys," Jack started, worried. "I don't know if I can do this all right. I don't want to go to jail you know?"
"Then don't screw up," Danny suggested as Andy grabbed more papers from him. "You're always talking about wanting to be treated like an adult. Now might be a good time to start acting like one. Stick to the plan. Stay here and burn it all."
"I don't know what I'm doing here," Merritt told the group.
"I don't know what you would do anywhere else," Danny told him.
"I'm here for the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow," Merritt decided. "That's it. Then I'm gone."
"You can do whatever you want when this is over, Merritt." Henley told him. "But until then, you stick to the plan."
"Hey guys," Danny called from the window. "They're here. Andy!"
Andy patted Jack on the shoulder, silently telling him that he could do it before grabbing Danny's hand and following Merritt and Henley out.
"Okay, lets do it," Merritt said leading them to the laundry shoot and holding it open.
"Ladies first"
They got out of the building and into a cab to proceed to the next step.
After implementing the car chase and Jack's 'death', they quickly went to the warehouse and converted the room into a giant rabbit box. Complete with an exact replica of the safe, full of a little surprise for the lovely cops on their tail.
After quickly filming a small video for YouTube they got ready for their next and last act at Lionel Shrike's old rehearsal building.
They stood in a circle, staring at a camera that would project their image onto the building. Andy quietly reached for Danny's hand, trying to calm her nerves.
"What is magic?" Danny began the show. "Magic is deception. But deception designed to delight, to entertain, to inspire. It is about Belief."
"Faith," Merritt interceded.
"And Trust," Henley added.
"Without those qualities," Andy continued. "Magic, as an art form, would no longer exist."
"But what happens," Henley questioned. "If these qualities are not used for their higher purpose?"
"And instead they're used to cheat, lie," Andy took over.
"For personal gain or for greed," Danny supplied. "Well then its no longer magic."
"It's crime," Merritt told the audience.
"So tonight, for our final act," Henley began to conclude.
"You're gonna help us set a few things right," Andy concluded.
After turning off the cameras, they all looked at each other.
"Showtime," Merritt rubbed his hands together. Danny nodded, snapping his fingers. They walked to an elevator that would take them to the roof.
Merritt stood in one corner, with Henley across from him. Danny had his arms wrapped around Andy as he leaned against an empty corner.
"Daniel," Merritt began, getting the man's attention.
"Yeah?" he asked looking over to him while Andy twisted her body to look at the other occupants.
"As our, let's call it, year of living dangerously comes to a close, in a rare moment of vulnerability, I'd like to express a sentiment to you about our relationship," Merritt paused for a second, giving Henley and Andy enough time to share a smile.
"Okay…" Danny replied.
"Well, when I first met you, I though you were kind of a dick."
Danny huffed slightly as Henley smiled at Merritt.
"And?" She asked.
"No, that's it," Merritt told her.
Andy laughed. "You thought there was more?" she asked.
Henley nodded. "Well, yeah!"
The two girls shared a look as Merritt and Daniel stood there confused.
'Are we missing something?" Danny asked his wife. She smiled up at him.
"Inside joke. You wouldn't understand."
He rolled his eyes deciding to ignore the 'joke' that was about him and continued talking with Merritt.
"I'm touched," he told the mentalist.
"Yeah. Just from the heart," Merritt put his hands to his chest.
"Well," Danny began. "I didn't tell you where I was touched."
"Oh, you," Merritt laughed as Andy raised an eyebrow at him.
Henley laughed lightly before sobering. "Oh, God. What are we gonna do when this is over?"
"We're on our own," Danny said. "Our instructions run out after the show."
"Even if there is no 'Eye'," Andy began. "if we were completely played and spend the next 20 years in jail, then, I just want to say that…" she let the sentence hang.
Danny nodded. "I know. Me too." He said kissing her lightly. Merritt groaned.
"No PDA please! And that's a little too sentimental for me."
They laughed as the elevator came to a halt.
When they got to the roof, light surged to a section that was raised and the four of them appeared, standing in front of the crowd. Andy laughed lightly as the FBI jumped the mannequins they put out.
"Hello New York!" Henley called out. "Thank you for the magic! And thank you for being such an incredible and dedicated audience!"
"Unfortunately," Andy continued. "like all good things, it must come to an end."
"So we would like to start our show tonight," Danny took over.
"By saying goodbye," Merritt informed the crowd.
"All we wanted was to bring the world to a magic show." Henley said.
"And thereby bring a little magic back to the world," Danny concluded Henley's statement.
Henley grabbed Andy's free hand because the other was still in Danny's and gripped Merritt's.
The FBI ran towards them only to be blinded by a flash and having them disappear. They reappeared on the other raised side of the building that gave them a straight run to the edge.
"This had been one hell of a ride for all of us!" Merritt informed the audience. 'But it's time for us to disappear."
"Goodnight, New York!" Andy yelled out.
"And thank you for believing in us," Merritt thanked the crowd.
They began to run to the edge of the building, ready to take a blind leap of faith into the unknown. As they jumped they threw their arms out, pretending to fly, before dissolving into the night sky, leaving only a trail of fake money behind.
They quickly traveled to Times Square where the TV's were showcasing their performance before heading to Central Park.
They walked to a gate that was standing between them and where they needed to go.
"It's locked," Henley told the group.
"Weren't you listening?" Jack asked coming out of the trees. "Nothing's ever locked."
"Well done, Mr. Wilder!" Henley told him and the rest clapped. "Good work!"
"You're a big boy now Jack," Merritt told him with a small as Andy gave him a hug.
They wandered around, uninformed of what they were looking for.
"What if all this was just leading up to us getting mugged in Central Park at 2 a.m.?" Merritt asked.
'No, I'm telling you," Danny told him as they came around a tree. "We're right where we need to be."
Henley and Andy turned, noticing that they were at the Lionel Shrike tree.
"We just have to find…" Danny continued.
"That?" Henley and Andy asked together pointing their flashlights at the card encased in glass.
"The Lionel Shrike tree," Danny breathed gripping Andy's hand.
"And the card encased in glass," Henley continued for him.
"What do we do now?" Merritt asked.
Henley reached into her pocket, pulling out her tarot card. The others quickly put theirs on top of hers and the cards then became holographic and transparent with an eye illuminated on the front.
Henley ran it over the card encased in glass, causing a carousel's lights and music to blink on. They walked around a few small trees and saw Agent Dylan Rhodes waiting for them.
"Oh, my God," Merritt exclaimed. "I did not see that coming. That's impossible!"
Dylan nodded, smiling.
"No way," Jack breathed.
"That was actually pretty good," Danny acknowledged gripping Andy's hand tighter.
"Thank you," Dylan told them.
"When I said, 'Always be the smartest guy in the room.'" Danny let the sentence hang.
"We were in agreement," Dylan finished for him.
"Okay, right." Danny nodded.
"Andy," Dylan nodded to the raven-haired woman. "Henley,"
"I have never seen her speechless," Danny told him when Henley just stared with her mouth open.
"I take that as a huge compliment," Dylan said, reaching to shake her hand.
"Hey, man," Jack began nervous. "I'm so sorry for kicking your ass. Really."
Dylan smiled and bobbed his head.
"Hey, listen, for the record," Merritt interrupted. "I have always been a 100% believer. And the amount of energy I have expended to keep these infidels on points…" Henley whacked him, cutting off his words.
"Merritt," Dylan said. "You're in."
Merritt nodded. "God bless."
"Come," the agent said, leading them to the carousel. "The real magic is taking five, or four," He said looking at Andy and Danny. "Strong solo acts and making them all work together."
The paused at the top of the steps looking into the area.
'And that's exactly what you did," Dylan said, opening the gate to the ride. "So welcome. Welcome to the Eye."
Dylan then hopped onto the ride and it went half way around before he simply disappeared. The Five Horsemen looked at each other before jumping over the gate onto the carousel. Andy gripped Danny's hand, smiling before they went on faith and disappeared into the unknown.
Come in close. Closer. Because now you know our secret. We could be anywhere. Watching you. We're looking for someone to help us with our next trick. On the count of three, open your eyes and tell me what you see. One. Two…
