Raise your hands. You, sir... where are you from? No, wait... don't tell me. You must have soul. Your a soul man. Now tell everyone where are you from? - Korea. - How about that, folks? May I assume this charming young lady - is your daughter. - She is my wife! Of course! What happens in Vegas stays in Vegas. - What's your name? - Yhun-Kihong. Would you be kind enough to join me up on the stage please? Are you serious about this guy? Is this a joke? Coming around with some minds and clowns while were at it Yhun-Kihong.

Yhun-Kihong, why don't you look inside my pocket? Reach in. Dig deep lets have a big hand for Yhun-Kihong. Well... thats magic folks. And thats why I'm here. They probably seen a lot of those shows. Mentalists magicians, illusionists... you will be shocked to know that sometimes not often, but sometimes its the real deal. Masquerding as an act hidden behind a few 50 dollar tricks hiding in plain sight Because if the magicians doesnt do that, the alternative is impossible for others to live with anyway Wednesday nights the back page doesnt pay very well, so I gamble. But I don't play against other people, only against the house. So, no mega Jack Pots, no wash outs The idea is to go unnoticed. That way I can keep coming back I'm not a God. I can't see everyone's future only my own. And only within except for when I saw her but we will come back to that there is no pattern to this guy. He is all over the map. Well he's not counting not enough. Wait a minute. Isnt it that two bit magic act from Las Vegas. Whats his name? Cadillac. Yes, Frank Cadillac. Is he pulling tricks on us? Is that legal? He cant trick the deck I'm telling you. That little prick knows whats coming If he's really knocking a system why's he not betting more That will be my second question look at him. He is looking at us Its like he can hear us. - What table is that? - 27. Send security to table 27! Here is a thing about the future... every time you look at it, It changes. Because you look at it, and that changes everything else. Empty the drawer. Move! Drop the gun, now! Drop the gun, step back. Its his gun. He was going to shoot your people. Step Back, now. Whats he doing? Check the doors, elevators, escalators everywhere, under the staircases, now! He is going to the Black Jack tables. Make it before he goes hes right next to the ten dollar slot. Aisle 14. There he is behind you! Your left. Turn around! He's right between you. He's in the mensroom! Where the hell is he? Black shirt, straw hat , heading towards the exit. Let's go Call vegas PD He stole a silver sports car, plates 5854AS. This guy escaped from the casino two months ago what he does has nothing to do with luck its an ability. Iook at him! He knows exactly what to do. Can it explain to me that? I cannot explain, Kelly. Nor do I have the time. The Russian Federation has a 10 kiloton nuclear munition unaccounted for I understand that I'm not sure you do. We need every agent available beating the street. That bomb was stolen We have just been informed of it now. Which means it could just be parked under this truck for all we know any actionable intelligence Not paranormal and bullshit magicians. With all due respect sir, this bullshit magician advanced the way he did its statiscally impossible. Let me bring him in then get what you want. Thats it. Get me the head of casino security You Roybal? Whatever. - Who are you? Cavanaugh, take a walk hey roybal. This isnt a picture contest. Come on What are you doing? Got a new car? Its stolen. See that. Thats what you get from two packs a day. I got you two sandwiches thats plenty grand thank you... I love you. How can I repay you must be a big surprise Jeff Roybal... Special agent Ferris. I don't need to say that everything you say... can be used against you. Did we understand each other? Sure. Tell me about Cris Johnson. - I don't know who that is. How about Frank Cadillac, you kicked him out of the casino tonight. He stole a car from valet parking Yes, yes I know Cadillac. I thought he was cheating us at cards. Next thing I know hes tackling some guy waving a gun -The gun wasnt his. The man he tackled was one of the two casino killers in reno. He is in custody now come on, I want to show you something. You remember this? Yes, of course yes. We were saying that he was looking right at us. - How did you get this? - Now think carefully. What were you talking about when he looked up? We were saying that if he had a system why wasnt he bidding more you sure you werent doing or saying anything else? Mumbles... and right then. Would that be very specific thats what I said and he looked up. Really so he doesnt have to be there to do it is that to work the system. Thank you. Were finished. Done some good in there, Mr Roybal as far as your concerned. This person never existed thats going to be difficult. Considering theres a hundred cameras at the casino Don't worry, the tapes have been destroyed. You can have those cars and things of that type... but thats not a life. But you kind of forget that girl. That you Keep seeing in your head. I am not going anywhere until I meet her And where do you think about going? She already did. Its a diner. But youve got a couple of hours. How about a game of pool? Allright, Irv. We'll shoot some pool. Pretend Here hes at Black Jack. And the 6 card 21 he want it so we know he can stay at least a minute and a half ahead i had a text from a radio frequency detection analysis he is not receiving any form of electronic help at one point there was a He never backed. Just got up and walked away. Maybe 2.16 is too long and he cannot see that far narrows the window We got him Vegas PD got a lo-jack hit on the stolen vehicle. Look. About that girl. About the clock. Do you happen to see if its Canada? Because... Because its could be 10 years Its gotta be soon. I never see further ahead than two minutes Except for her And what do you think the reason is for that? I don't know. Maybe she doesn't scare easy. Maybe she is the one when you get like this... there is no talking to you. She is on the street This is somebody else. Cop. A cop? You had better go. Wait, I want to see how much she knows, what she wants from me. Mr. Johnson. Still here huh? Where else would I be? Special agent Ferris. Next time steal a car without lojack. Can we speak privately? Its ok, Irv, you can go. Thank you. You know why im here. Youre the man that knows what im going to do before I do it. Right? Right? The show, right? Yes, I saw you there. Wonderful. Do you like magic? Yes, I like yes. Magic tricks, clairvoyance, whatever you call it. Lets see something hard. Stolen nucleur munitions being smuggled into the US and may already be here. I want you to look ahead and tell me where it is going to be deployed I think you got the wrong guy and... Its a magic act. You gonna stick with that story. Because millions of lives are at risk. You could maybe prevent a major catastrophe on a practical note. We are standing in front of a stolen vehicle. And you are wanted for assault involving a weapon at a casino that was an accident. He had a gun and he was going to shoot two people yes? How did you know that The deed goes unpunished does it? I can fix your legal problems... but you gotta step up Or else your next magic show... will be in the state prison.

A marathon 36 hours... can you guess the next flash card game? So, please... leave me alone. Let me live some semblence of a normal life. I would love to indulge your feelings.

And it may take a few hours... if that isnt a problem. Iook if your uncomfortable with this... I will take a bus. No, no. Its fine, its fine your not a psycho right? The first sign of a psycho I kick you out of the car. Ok. Yes Ma'am - Right. Deal deal hey and then end up in a diner where you are and both heading in the same direction. I don't know if I can call that amazing, but... thats destiny. Thats what it really is your starting to get the psycho on. Ah, no... you don't believe in destiny? Even if it does exist, I just don't want to know I mean if every move you make is pre-ordained. What is the point life is supposed to a surprise It would be nice. Hes came in twice a day for a week at exactly 9 past 8? Yes, he would stay a few minutes, have a martini and then he'd go. Not today when he was with that lady. Did you find anything strange about that? Not strange enough to call the police. We got a regular who counts the cornflakes in his bowel. Because it has to be an even number. Do you have any cameras? Inside? No. Outside? No. Do you know the kind of car he was driving? Or maybe overhear where they were going? I don't know what car but they were leaving for cascade. Thats what they said Another regular. She's always on a diet. Brings in a scale with the salad dressing Thank you. You're welcome. This guy knows we are after him. He saw us coming here. he doesnt know if its day or night, its the time he's waiting for her. There is a traffic camera over there. At the bank. the tapes we will get lucky. And catch them at the wide Remember roybal. The casino chief? He had his throat cut last night. After getting a knee cap shot off. Your telling me this now? We were just talking about Johnson? Hey I just found out. Alright. Got the weapon? Dead end Forensic's came up emtpy. Not a hair or a fibre. Somebody wants information, next time anything happens... relevent to Johnson, I want to know right away. I dont care if its a paper clip. Ok boss. The head of casino security. What did you learn from him? For a macho guy, he screams like a girl. He was questioned by federal agents, looking for Chris Jonhson. Yes? He said they hadn't found him yet. Do you believe this shit? He see's things before they happen? It makes no difference what I believe. Iook, we spent two years setting this up. And that man out there is worried all this will be comprimised by Johnson We are wasting our time with this. For a magician. We are being paid to secure the operations room. Not to hunt down some carnival party really? Then why are the same authorities that are looking for us so interested in him? Get rid of him. Do it now. We have a super reservation. I teach there once a week. The conditions are pretty lousy. Thats in the Great Canyon. One of the eight wonders of the world. Hello, Sam. Hello, Liz. A couple hundred years ago this place was booming plenty of food and thriving culture. They should be better off. I guess this is destiny then. I would like to meet there shaman. I read once, in the many North American tribes. That the shamans purpose wasn't only healing. And that they also claim their power of the atmosphere. To bring on and stop rain even though future advance. Do you think thats possible? I believe any thing is possible. Me too. Whose birthday? Only one of my students. Hi. Hows it going? Hello, how this everybody? Good? Thats good. Thats good. Only messed up in the last part. Yes in the last part. I thought you werent coming back til next monday well Im not, but its Jay's birthday. And I couldnt miss that. Who is that man with you? - Is he your boyfriend? - No, no not my boyfriend. Just my friend. I think he likes you. Why do you say that? Because he looks at you like my brother looks at his girlfriend. Hey Jay. Doe you want to see some magic? I will show you something. Come here. I found this rock out in the Canyon. I want you to hold this its a magic rock. Hold it really tight keep squeezing It's magic. It wont bite. Happy birthday. So your a magician? Well. I have a small magic act back in Vegas. Frank Cadillac show. I thought your name was Chris. It is. Frank Cadillac is my stage name. How did you come up with that? I took two things I really like and I put them together. Frankenstein and Cadillac. Your odd. Charming. But odd. Cease fire get out of the range Nice It was close though? Ok. You were right about the traffic camera We got a positive ID Chris? Its ok. Did I snore? Snore? - Yes. - Ah, no. As and that worsened so much like this the climate? Yes. I like the rain. I like rain too do you know once... I think was in Denmark, it rained fish... because the sun dehydrated the water. Took it out in the atmosphere. Rehydrated the fish eggs, and it hatched and it... and it rained fish. That the truth? Yes, in the clouds. True story. Happened 15 years ago. Felt like sharing that with you. The road's washed out ahead. You can't cross until morning. Not even then its a sure shot spin around and go back about two miles take your second left - there will be a hotel there called... - The Cliff Hangar. Thank you. Correct. Him right? Thats it no front plate, where is the other side? I don't have it. What was that at the front window? Go back Back, back. Back, there! Zoom in. Its a permit. Track it and find it. I will light a fire. Chris, one little problem. No, no, I will sleep in the car. - Take it. - Thank you. Sure. You hear the joke about the zen master who ordered a hot dog? No. He said that he would have one with everything. Good night. Good night. What have we got? They went to sleep in a motel outside cascade. We found an Arizona foreman who remembers the land cruiser. How did they do that? The road was blocked and he was about to suggest a place to stay. But Johnson already know, right? Exactly. Callie, it just got worse all right people, we got a nuclear alert. Code red. In the southern California region. LA to San Diego, Nuclear emergency search teams are on there way. But until they get here... somebody please tell me wht my agency, the FBI are doing about it? Sir, two main suspects have been interrogated. Cars and transmits have been checked perimeter was revised and... we have opened up surveillance on 2 or 3 suspects but nothing actionable yet. Then what the hell are we doing? Waiting for something actionable... we got 8 million lives that are precaurious at best so I say we widen this net to slightly suspicious and get some decent Intel before this nuke blows up Los Angeles. Alright, Callie. What do you propose we do next? I believe that the urgency of the situation... compels the use of any and all resources to obtain Cris Johnson. We know where he is. Let my team pick him up The FBI are mobilizing. Continue watching. - Did you listen? - Yes. He says they are mobilising. Standard procedure tell them to wrap it up They will lead us straight to Johnson. - Don't lose sight of them - Certainly, ok. You hungry? There is a coffee shop down the road I'd rather eat here, if thats ok. Fine. What? There is an Italian painter named Calion. He... he defined beauty... he said it was a summation of the parts... working together in such a way in such a way... that nothing needed to added taken away or altered like you your beautiful. Wow! It was incredible What was? This. Its good here, the best place to view hotel. We should cover different places, that road and that turn off. A team with a parabolic step right here. Thats fine, but I also want mobile surveillance... for case something skirt of the control. I want to be flexible Ferris? Call the local police in flagstaff. Have them patrol the outside perimeter I want that area locked down. A body turned up at an apartment, in line of sight of my office... with a slit throat, like roybal. The body trying to follow us to Johnson. Chris? Yes. Maybe destiny exists. Give 40 seconds. Within two minutes, he will start seeing whats going to happen I hope so. - Elizabeth Cooper? - Yes. Federal agent Ferris. What is this about? I only need a few minutes of your time Yes, sure. They are putting her in the car. Back. He will shoot in those people. This was 3 days ago? He used you to get away from Las Vegas. Everything that he told you... and lie and illusion. He's a sociopath My God. Drugs. Return to the hotel, have a drink put one of these... in his glass It will take 5 minutes to put him to sleep, then we will come in and get him But this is important you need to do it at least 2 minutes after you get him out of the room. That to enter in the room. Why do you need me? Why dont you just get him. He seems to think that you work for a pedagogic program... for a reservation with bottoms federal, is that true? Yes, thats true Good, we need you to help us, we are on the same team. Go - hey - hey - thanks for the - sure Did you have a nice walk? Yes, I did. Its really beautiful here. Ah!
