02:30Don't worry, Cleo. I've never known their fellows to damage the props.
02:33Oh, I'm sorry, David. I know. It's just I'm cranky. I tore my favorite costume.
02:37Oh, what a shame.
02:39Hey, let's go. Come on. We've got a schedule to keep, okay?
02:42Come...
02:43Whoa. Where's Madison and Clark?
02:45Why ask me? I'm not their secretary.
02:48Sorry, haven't seen him.
02:49Well, they gotta rehearse first. All their props are on stage.
02:51Seems ripped. Getting fat.
02:53It's about time you showed him, Madison. Where's Clark?
02:56We'll rehearse when we're ready.
02:57Hey, you rehearse now.
02:59You irritate me.
03:01You know that?
03:01I'd like to saw him in half.
03:07Well, he can be infuriating.
03:09Well, he can be infuriating.
03:09I don't like his act.
03:11None of us do.
03:14Eddie!
03:16Eddie!
03:22Wake up. We're on stage.
03:23Madison, I've asked you not to interrupt my meditation time.
03:30Time's up. We're on.
03:33Wait a minute.
03:34We're not going anywhere until we talk about this.
03:38You talk. I'm going.
03:43Gee, you know, you never told me you're booked on Letterman.
03:45Tomorrow night, Clark. Tune in.
03:47You can't do this. We're a team. I mean, we do the act together.
03:50Wanna bet? After tonight, I go solo.
03:52No, wait a minute. We had a deal.
03:54Right? I mean, I create the illusions. You do the talking.
03:56The act is the two of us.
03:57It was the two of us until I learned all your tricks.
04:00Now I can do it all myself.
04:01Who needs you?
04:02No, no, no, no, no. You're not walking out on me.
04:04Get away from me.
04:06Meditate, Clarkie.
04:08You'll feel better.
04:22You got a weird one in there.
04:23Briggs.
04:24Briggs.
04:24Mm-mm.
04:25Another weird one.
04:26Mr. Eddie Clark.
04:27He said he had an appointment, but he isn't in your book.
04:30And when I tried to take his history, he gave me this.
04:33Oh, ho.
04:34Mm.
04:35Yes, Mr. Clark?
04:41What seems to be the trouble?
04:43Well, I have something stuck in my throat.
04:46Oh, let me just have a look here.
04:49Something's stuck in your throat, huh?
04:51Hold this light for me, would you, Dolores?
04:54Oh.
04:54Uh-huh.
04:56Oh, very, very interesting.
04:58Very interesting.
04:59I think I know what's wrong here.
05:02Just, yeah.
05:03There.
05:04You had a little frog in your throat.
05:06That's all.
05:06Feel better?
05:07Yeah.
05:07Hey, Mark, how you doing?
05:10Just great, Eddie.
05:11Dolores, I'd like you to meet Eddie Clark, half of the great magic act of Madison and Clark.
05:16Nice to meet you.
05:17You too.
05:18I've known him since he was a baby.
05:20His dad lived next door to us.
05:21You know, I blame this man for my career.
05:24On my seventh birthday, he brought me this book.
05:26Magic.
05:27Magic for kids.
05:28For kids.
05:28Right.
05:28And I was hooked.
05:30He's good at magic, all right.
05:31Every time I ask him to do his paperwork, he disappears into thin air.
05:36Tough room.
05:38So is this really a professional visit?
05:39Oh, no, no.
05:40I just came by to drop off some tickets for tonight's show.
05:42Oh, it just so happens I read about that.
05:44Opening at the Magic Mansion.
05:46Congratulations, Eddie.
05:47That's the big time.
05:48But I also have reservations for next week.
05:51Oh, actually, it's tonight or never, Mark.
05:53Oh, why?
05:56Come on, Eddie, what is it?
05:57I've got a problem.
05:59Okay.
06:02Excuse me.
06:03Yes, Dr. Sloan.
06:06Oh, yeah, I put Mr. Austin on an antibiotic IV.
06:09I'll check him this afternoon.
06:11Right.
06:11Did you see Eddie Clark leave here?
06:18No.
06:19Where'd he go?
06:20He disappeared.
06:22Boy, you see, good.
06:24You want to join me tonight?
06:25Oh, I'd love to.
06:26Thanks.
06:28Now, about all this paperwork.
06:30Oh, can't do it.
06:31I'm late for my medical ethics class.
06:33I thought you said it was canceled.
06:35I lied.
06:35I'm late for the theater.
06:52Steve never did return my message about meeting us here.
06:57I hardly talked to him the last two weeks.
06:59He told me he was going out of town in some case or something.
07:01Sounds like a new girlfriend to me.
07:04Good diagnosis.
07:06Excuse me, I want to go back and see my friend.
07:08All right.
07:09Okay.
07:10You know what?
07:11I just love magic.
07:13What, are you kidding?
07:14No, don't you?
07:15Come on.
07:16Some guy dressed in a tux tries to convince you you're seeing something you're not?
07:21Why do people get a kick out of being conned?
07:24Gee, I don't know, Jack.
07:25Why don't you ask one of your girlfriend?
07:26Oh.
07:28Oh, ho, ho, ho.
07:29Oh, ho.
07:30Yeah, she's funny, huh?
07:33Uh-huh.
07:46This time I'm not turning my back on you.
07:49I want to know, what's the problem?
07:52Madison's making my career disappear.
07:54Tonight's my final performance.
07:56No, why?
07:57Why?
07:59Because he is stealing my tricks and going solo.
08:01Tomorrow night in Letterman.
08:04Well, he can't...
08:05This is your act.
08:06He can't do that, Eddie.
08:07Oh, no, no, you haven't heard?
08:09Madison can do whatever he wants.
08:11These tricks took me years to develop, and now he's just going to walk off with them.
08:17That is awful.
08:18I never should have partnered with him to begin with.
08:22I mean, the guy's a liar, he's a cheat, and, uh, and my career's over.
08:27No, no, not yet.
08:29You're a very talented magician, and your greatest success is ahead of you.
08:33Yeah, well, uh, I wish I could believe that, Mark.
08:36You will.
08:37Just give it time.
08:39Anything I can do at all.
08:40Well, applause would be nice.
08:44That you got.
08:46We'll talk some more after the show, Eddie.
08:49Be out front.
08:50Okay.
08:50Okay.
08:50Oh, my God.
09:17Oh, my God.

15:41Yeah, that's the kid.
15:42Is something wrong, detective?
15:44He's like Mr. Clark gave Mr. Madison the wrong key.
15:47We've got a problem.
16:02I did not kill Madison, Mark. I swear I didn't.
16:05Oh, I believe you, Eddie.
16:07It's just that, uh, look at the evidence the district attorney got piled up against you.
16:13Madison was walking out on you. You fought. You gave him the wrong key.
16:17You couldn't unlock the handcuffs, and the man drowns.
16:22I caught him a dead man.
16:24Well, not yet.
16:26What did you do with the key after rehearsal?
16:29Put it back in my jacket pocket, same as always.
16:32Is there a chance someone could have switched those keys between rehearsal and performance?
16:38Well, uh, I like to meditate for 20 minutes before a performance in my dressing room.
16:45I suppose somebody could have snuck in and changed him then.
16:48Hmm.
16:50Did anyone there hate Madison?
16:52Oh, yeah.
16:53And his whole hit list was right there.
16:55Mike Baker.
16:56Um, he owns the club.
16:58Cleo Quinlan, she's another magician.
17:00And, uh, David Baldwin.
17:02They all hated him.
17:04Oh, yeah.
17:05Do you know exactly why anybody hated him?
17:10One thing Madison loved?
17:12Bragging about people that he hurt.
17:18Look, Mark, you gotta help me.
17:20We'll do it.
17:28Amigo, un momento.
17:30Excuse me, just a minute, Norman.
17:31Uh, you're gonna stop Mrs. Miller's medication.
17:34And I want to get a blood panel on Mrs. Burns down at 3G.
17:37And call me when you get the results, will you?
17:39Thanks.
17:40What can I do for you?
17:41I heard about what happened at the magic show.
17:43Just terrible.
17:44Yes, it was.
17:45I understand that you were on a first-name basis with the man who did it.
17:48Well, they didn't prove he did it.
17:49But you're not going to try and prove that he didn't, are you?
17:54Norman, are you trying to say that, uh, if I take a stand from my friend,
17:57it might in some way reflect badly on this, uh, hospital
18:01and perhaps I should keep my nose on it?
18:04Well, it hadn't occurred to me, Mark, but now that you've mentioned it,
18:06it wouldn't be a bad idea.
18:08Norman.
18:13I knew we saw things the same way.
18:19Hey.
18:20Hi.
18:21How's Eddie Clark?
18:22I saw him today.
18:23Oh, yeah, he's terrifying.
18:24You know, there are three people who wanted Madison dead.
18:27And any one of them could have switched those handcuff keys
18:29while Eddie was meditating in a nursing room.
18:32Is one of them Mike Baker?
18:33Yeah.
18:34You know him?
18:35This old man used to run a strip joint in my neighborhood.
18:37Well, he won't return my calls.
18:39Well, I'm just going to take a wild shot here, but are you investigating these people?
18:43Yes, I have to do something to help Eddie Clark.
18:45He's investigating.
18:46Oh.
18:47See you guys later.
18:48Okay.
18:49You know, it's too bad you can't help him out, huh?
18:50Man, it's a damn shame.
18:51I'm off in an hour or two.
18:52That's good.
18:53I'll see you later.
18:54I'm off in an hour or two.
18:55That's good.
18:56I'll see you later.
19:24It's my favorite trick.
19:29Learned it from an Indian fakir in Calcutta.
19:32And you are?
19:33Dr. Mark Sloan.
19:34I'm a friend of Eddie Clark's.
19:35Ah.
19:36You know, I've never seen how that trick works.
19:39Well, magicians have offered me thousands to tell them just that.
19:42No sale.
19:43I'm the only magician in America that knows it.
19:45Really?
19:46Yeah.
19:47Now, don't tell me.
19:48You're an amateur magician.
19:50That's true.
19:51Yeah, I like to fool around with sleight of hand once in a while.
19:53Yeah?
19:54Let's see.
19:55Oh, no, I'm not in your league.
19:56No, go ahead.
20:01Very nice.
20:03Very good.
20:04That's about it.
20:09Oh, that's beautiful.
20:12Beautiful.
20:13Tell me, did you ever teach Paul Madison the Indian rope trick?
20:17Paul?
20:18Paul never had the talent.
20:20He was a performer, not a magician.
20:22With a certain animal charisma, but no real love for magic.
20:26But you did hire him as an assistant at one time.
20:29I had a lot of assistants.
20:31Yeah.
20:32You know, I heard that you had to fire him because he sold a trick of yours.
20:35Yeah, I was hustled by a hustler.
20:38It was embarrassing, but true.
20:40Eddie Clark told me that Madison was planning on revealing the secret to your Indian rope trick on the Letterman show.
20:47That would make you a little more than angry, wouldn't it?
20:50I didn't know Madison planned to do that.
20:53Tell me something, do you think it's possible for somebody to sneak into Eddie's room while he was meditating and switch those handcuff keys?
21:03Anything's possible.
21:04But, uh, I wouldn't know.
21:06I was on stage at the time performing Houdini's Metamorphosis.
21:10You appeared to be on stage.
21:13No.
21:15I was on stage, Doctor.
21:17And, uh, I don't think you can prove otherwise.
21:20But you can always try.
21:39I might just do that.
21:45Excuse me, could you direct me to, uh, Cleopatra Quinlan's dressing room?
21:49I don't know.
22:19What are you doing here?
22:20I told you I had some time off.
22:21Look, Amanda, this guy could be dangerous, all right?
22:23Yeah.
22:24So what are you looking for?
22:25I want to help.
22:26Well, I was looking for Baker, but since he ain't...
22:28Okay.
22:29I'll keep watch.
22:30You go look around.
22:31Okay?
22:32Oh, very interesting.
22:33Someone's coming.
22:34What?
22:35Someone's coming.
22:36All right.
22:37You know what?
22:38Here.
22:39Get in the trunk.
22:40What?
22:41Just get in the trunk.
22:42What?
22:43You want it to come.
22:44Now get in there.
22:45I'm not getting in there.
22:46Get in the trunk.
22:47I'm not getting in there.
22:48Get in the trunk and stop aggravating me.
22:49Claustrophobic.
22:50Just listen to what happens after I leave, and I'll come back in and get you out.
22:52Oh, okay.
22:53I'm not getting in there.
22:54I'm not getting in there.
22:55I'm Jack Stewart.
22:56I'm a friend of your old man's.
22:57He used to have that club at 11, remember?
22:58Oh, yeah.
22:59I heard about you, the doctor, right?
23:00Yeah.
23:01I'm back in there.
23:02He's.
23:03Oh, man.
23:04I'm coming.
23:05Someone's coming.
23:06What?
23:07Someone's coming.
23:08All right.
23:09Um...
23:10You know what?
23:11Here.
23:12Get in the trunk.
23:13What?
23:14Just get in...
23:15Look.
23:16You wanted to come.
23:17Now get in there.
23:18I'm not getting in there.
23:19Get in the trunk and stop aggravating me.
23:20Claustrophobic.
23:21Just listen to what happens after I leave,
23:22and I'll come back in and get you out.
23:23Okay?
23:24How you doing?
23:26So what do you want?
23:28A friend of mine's trying to help out Eddie Clark.
23:31Your friend better be a lawyer.
23:32Actually, we're both doctors.
23:34And, uh, he doesn't think that Eddie did it.
23:37Yeah? Then who did?
23:39Well, a few people might have had a reason to kill him.
23:42Like, um, I don't know, like you, for instance.
23:47Why would I kill Madison?
23:49Well, I should say, for example, that, uh,
23:51you laid out a big advance to Madison,
23:53and he decided to walk out on his contract.
23:55Right? You get a little sore.
23:56I never laid out anything to him.
23:59Well, if I were you, my friend,
24:01I would talk to my accountant.
24:03Because somebody wrote this guy a huge check.
24:05Get out of here!
24:06I was just leaving.
24:07I catch you here again! You're dead meat!
24:10You know, your old man was such a nice guy.
24:12Shame.
24:22It's me.
24:23We've got business to discuss.
24:39Miss Gwinnlin?
24:41Yes?
24:41I'm Dr. Mark Sloan, friend of Eddie Clark's.
24:46Poor Eddie.
24:47Yeah.
24:50How tall are you?
24:53I was about six feet, I guess.
24:55Would you mind giving me a hand?
24:57No.
24:58No.
24:58What do you need me to do?
24:59Just stand over here.
25:00I've just got this new rope trick,
25:03and I haven't quite figured it out yet.
25:05Oh, I see.
25:08If you could just turn slowly.
25:11Weren't you and Madison partners for a while
25:13until he walked out or something?
25:15We were partners for a while, yes,
25:18until I went solo.
25:20I understand that the solo part wasn't a choice.
25:23Didn't Madison just kind of use you
25:24to make the right contacts
25:26and then dump you, so to speak?
25:29Who told you that?
25:30Eddie Clark.
25:31He, uh...
25:32Matter of fact, he said that
25:33Madison promised to marry you,
25:35but instead he booked the act
25:37on an Acapulco cruise
25:38and then jumped ship
25:40in Cabo San Lucas
25:41with your salary and his salary, right?
25:44He bragged to Eddie about that.
25:47Well, you know, you had every reason
25:48to be furious at, uh...
25:51Madison.
25:52Maybe furious enough to kill him, huh?
25:55Well, Eddie beat me to it, didn't he?
25:58You know what I think?
25:59I think that somebody went into
26:01Eddie's dressing room
26:02while he was meditating
26:03and switched the keys
26:05to Madison's handcuffs.
26:06That would be a good trick, wouldn't it?
26:10Or an illusion.
26:12Where, uh, were you
26:14between 7.30 and 8 last night?
26:18Right here, in my dressing room.
26:21Hmm.
26:22Can you prove that?
26:24Do I have to?
26:26Well, not yet,
26:27but, uh, it's not out of the question.
26:33Where are you going?
26:34To find the last page
26:37of the instructions.
26:39Miss Quinlan?
26:41Wait a minute.
26:48Let's see.
26:49I'm not into this kind of thing.
26:52Okay.
26:52Oh, no.
27:05Um, hello?
27:08Hello?
27:10I'm locked in here.
27:14Not only was I in my dressing room
27:16before the show,
27:17but I couldn't get out.
27:19Ask him.
27:20I thought you were going
27:21to fix that doorknob.
27:22Yeah.
27:23If you could just, uh,
27:24untie me.
27:25And spoil the trick.
27:28Maybe I left that page at home.

27:52I can't do this.
27:53Oh, really.
27:54Do you want to get the knife on yours?

28:18Okay.
28:48Hey!
28:49Oh!
28:50What are you nuts?
28:51I gotta open that trunk.
28:52Oh, no way.
28:53This is a city truck.
28:54Everything on its city property.
28:55All right.
28:56I'm Dr. Jack Stewart.
28:57Special medical investigator at the department.
28:58This trunk is evidence in a case.
28:59What case?
29:00Ever hear of Hoffa?
29:01Tony?
29:02All right.
29:03Thanks a lot.
29:04Thanks, Tony.
29:05Give me a hand here.
29:06Really appreciate it, guys.
29:07All right.
29:08You're never saw us.
29:10No problem.
29:11Never saw you at all.
29:37Oh, that's a professional secret.
29:39Then why'd you make me go through all this?
29:41Jack, I wanted to see if you cared.
29:43I oughta...
29:44Calm down. What'd you say?
29:45Maybe you weren't like a lunatic. Are you out of your mind?
29:47Listen! Listen, Jack. I heard Baker on the phone.
29:50Yeah.
29:51He's meeting someone at the Pickwick skating rink or something like that.
29:53Apparently he's paying someone off for a job he did last night.
29:58I'm switching the keys.
29:59Yeah.
30:00Come on.
30:07Let me show you!
30:08Yeah.
30:09...
30:12I'll show you.
30:15No, you � hairs.
30:16Commander, he'll take your legs.
30:17Find a Commentator.
30:20I'm sorry.
30:21Everyone look blah, blah!
30:23I'm sorry.
30:24I got a move.
30:25I wenn, I want to top few feet.
30:28I've got another man.
30:29vi handling donné...
30:30...oh no God!
30:31Tell him I didn't care what you're doing.
30:33You must want thisahan sit in the house right now?
30:35I feel...
30:36It's cold.
30:48Yeah, well, there's a big chunk of ice right here.
30:51Oh, I didn't see it.
30:54There's Baker.
30:58Baker must have hired that guy to switch the handcuff keys.
31:01He's probably got the payoff cash in that briefcase.
31:04All right, let's go.
31:06Just stay here.
31:07What do you mean, stay here?
31:08Just stay here and wait for something exciting to happen, all right?
31:16All loose ends tied up by Friday.
31:18I'll do the best I can.
31:19I want a guarantee.
31:20Don't sweat it, my friend.
31:21Look!
31:23Hey!
31:25Pick it up!
31:27Pick it up!
31:32I'll get it.
31:32I'll get it.
31:33I'll get it.
31:34I'll get it.
31:35I'll get it.
31:36Push!
31:37Oh!
31:38Oh!
31:38Oh!
31:39Oh!
31:39Oh!
31:40Freeze!
31:41Cup them.
31:42Cup them.
31:54Thanks a lot, guys.
31:56You're a big help.
31:57Hey, Steve.
31:58Hi, Steve.
31:59I don't mind.
32:07Jack and Amanda broke up your investigation.
32:09Six weeks undercover.
32:11Pushing a broom backstage at the Magic Mansion.
32:14You know, somehow, in the back of my mind, I just, I knew.
32:18Oh, you did not.
32:19I had you all completely fooled.
32:20No, there's something about the way you leaned on that broom.
32:22Just brought back a memory.
32:23Oh, very cute.
32:24What was Baker doing at the skating rink, anyway?
32:26It was a payoff.
32:27He was running drugs out of his club.
32:29He was in some kind of financial trouble, and he needed the money.
32:32Drugs?
32:34Listen, do you think he could have changed the handcuff keys?
32:36Could he have killed Madison?
32:37No, I'm sorry, Dad.
32:38Up until the time of the performance, Baker was meeting with one of his suppliers.
32:41Well, a drug dealer's not a very good witness.
32:43No, but three cops who had him under surveillance probably are.
32:46Oh.
32:47Look, you were backstage when Madison was murdered.
32:49You got any theories?
32:50No.
32:51You know, I can check with the guys who were running the investigation,
32:53see if they've come up with anything new.
32:55Oh, I'd appreciate it.
32:56You coming to dinner?
32:57No, I'm sorry.
32:58I can't.
32:59Oh, more underwater work.
33:00Undercover.
33:01Cover, I mean.
33:02Yeah.
33:03Well, actually, I can't say, but, uh, you better keep a sharp eye out.
33:06I could be the guy at the newsstand or in line at the bank wearing a red spandex dress
33:11and platform shoes.
33:12Oh, well, listen, no offense, but with your legs, unless you're the guy at the newsstand,
33:16that crook better be stone blind.
33:18Like father, like son.
33:19What do you mean?
33:20Wheelchair to admitting, please.
33:22So the shoulder x-ray came up negative.
33:25Any pain relief from the cortisone?
33:28Uh-huh.
33:29Well, I'm one-on-one of blood workup and, uh, keep an eye on his temperature.
33:32Any change in that, call me.
33:34Right.
33:35It's not that, uh, Baker's out of the picture.
33:37You trying to draw up some new suspects?
33:38Yeah, what about Cleopatra Quinlan?
33:40No, she was locked in the dressing room.
33:42Steve verified it.
33:43So there's no way she could have gotten in there and switched the handcuff keys.
33:46Baldwin's out because he was on stage the whole time.
33:48Well, maybe and maybe not.
33:50But, Mark, either the guy was on stage or he wasn't.
33:54Exactly.
33:55See you guys later.
33:57What do you think of the new costume?
34:18Well, I can tell you one thing, nobody's gonna be watching your hands.
34:22You're sweet.
34:25Very good.
34:27I like men with moustaches.
34:35Don't forget, I'm available.
34:38For charity events.
34:40Your hospital?
34:41Oh, yes.
34:42That'd be very nice.
34:44I'll keep that in mind.
34:45You're on stage.
34:46Come on.
34:47You're good.
34:48All right.
34:49Go walk right by it, people.
34:50Pick it up.
34:51You sound sick?
34:52Yeah.
34:54Ah, Dr. Sloan.
35:00I don't suppose you come just to watch me rehearse?
35:03Well, I don't know why not.
35:04Watching you perform is always a pleasure.
35:07But you're a busy man.
35:09And a very clever one.
35:12You have something on your mind.
35:14You're here for a purpose.
35:16You're very observant.
35:18Magicians and doctors have that in common.
35:20As quick as our hands are, our eyes are faster.
35:24What's on your mind, Doctor?
35:26Well, I'm thinking that you could have gone and switched those handcuff keys while Eddie Clark was in the room.
35:36You're forgetting I was on stage doing this trick while Eddie was doing his meditating.
35:40Well, you know, I've been thinking, and I wonder.
35:43I think I know how you did the trick.
35:46Really?
35:48Or wouldn't you care to show me?
35:51May I?
35:52Come on.
35:54All right.
35:55My theory is that you slipped out a trap door in the bottom of this trunk.
36:03Went to Eddie's room, switched the keys, and made it back here in time to trade places with your partner for the big finish.
36:11Only if your theory is correct.
36:18You know, Doctor, I've been planning to add a little, uh, suspense to this illusion.
36:28Figured out the trick yet, Doctor?
36:32Of course I hated Madison.
36:34He had no respect for the yard.
36:36He deserved to die.
36:40But I didn't kill him.
36:43Oh, by the way, Doctor, there is no trap door on the floor.
36:48You got out the back of the trunk and crouched back here where the audience couldn't see you.
37:03So you were back here the whole time.
37:06I told you I never left the stage.
37:09I get the point.
37:09Phone call for Dr. Sloan, 458.
37:25Phone call for Dr. Sloan, 458.
37:28Sloan, yeah, oh, the patient with the pain in the right shoulder, yeah.
37:35Thought so.
37:36Nausea, temperature, pain in the upper right quadrant.
37:40All right, let's get an ultrasound stat on him.
37:43Look, call Dr. Levinson, because if there's a gallbladder involved, I'm one of them in on it.
37:47And you better hold an OR, too, just in case.
37:50Right.
37:51Hey, Mark, how you doing?
37:52Hi.
37:52Hi, Mark.
37:53I think I may as well give up magic forever.
37:56Can't seem to pull anything out of the hat for Eddie Clark.
37:58It's not your fault we got three suspects with three airtight alibis?
38:02Yeah, what else could you do, really?
38:04Well, it doesn't make any sense.
38:06Not one of the three of them had a chance to switch those handcuff keys.
38:11You have to wait.
38:13Hey, that's it.
38:15I just had a patient on here with a severe pain in the right shoulder, and the trouble turned out to be in the gallbladder.
38:23You know, that happens.
38:24You get a referred pain someplace, and the real trouble's somewhere else.
38:28It's kind of nature's own misdirection.
38:30That's the secret of all magical illusion.
38:33Misdirection.
38:35I've been tricked.
38:37I've been tricked.
38:38That's the aquarium case, exactly as it appeared during a trick.
39:04You know, Dad, I can help you if you just tell me what you're looking for.
39:08Wish I knew.
39:11You know, Eddie said that this key was not out of his sight, except for the time he was meditating in the dressing room.
39:17And that's what he told the cops investigating the case.
39:20Do you notice anything about this equipment, Steve?
39:24It's all new.
39:25Exactly.
39:25It's all new.
39:27Madison was planning a new act, and it got all new stuff.
39:31Disappoint to this, isn't it?
39:32Yeah, there is.
39:33But I'm going to need your help to prove it.
39:36Am I going to have to push a broom?
39:38Oh, my God.
39:39Oh, my God.
39:39Oh, my God.
39:40Oh, my God.
39:40Oh, my God.
39:41Oh, my God.
39:41Oh, my God.
39:55Ladies and gentlemen, the Magic Mansion is proud to present, direct from appearances before the crowned heads of Europe,
40:02the mystic mistress of the ancient arts, Miss Cleopatra Quinlan, assisted by Mark Sloan.
40:14Tonight, she's going to amaze and charm you with her own variation on the famous Madison and Clark illusion, the Great Vertical Aquarium Escape.
40:23Can you join me over here for an amateur show?
40:26Dr. Stone, what is this?
40:28Please, gentlemen, just indulge me.
40:30I'm sure you'll enjoy it.
40:33I'm ready when you are.
40:35One of you here tonight is a murderer, and I'm going to prove it.
40:39The three of you had a motive to kill Madison.
40:44You, Cleo, he stole your contacts, he stole your money, and your heart.
40:50When you put it that way, I wish I had killed him.
40:52Baldwin, you, because he was going to reveal the secret of your greatest illusion.
40:59And Baker, he broke a contract with you that was going to cost you a small fortune.
41:05Each one of you wanted to see Madison dead.
41:08Each one of you also had an alibi.
41:11But somehow, one of you managed to kill him.
41:19Tonight,
41:19by repeating
41:23Madison's last illusion,
41:26using the same equipment that he used,
41:28I'm going to prove how you did it.
41:31You're nuts.
41:32Dr. Sloan, a man died trying this illusion.
41:35That's right.
41:36Because the keys to those handcuffs were switched.
41:38Luckily, Eddie Clark had a spare key,
41:40which I just palmed off to Cleo.
41:43So this trick should go
41:45perfectly.
41:47Shouldn't it?
41:49Let's drop the clock, please.
42:04Madison and Clark did this trick better.
42:23That.
42:23That.
42:38That's right.
42:40I'm sorry.
43:03All right, stop. Wait. Get her out of there.
43:06Clark's keys won't fit those handcuffs either.
43:08Well, really? Why is that?
43:09Because those aren't Clark's handcuffs. Now, get her out of there!
43:16Actually, those are a pair of handcuffs I picked up at a magic shop this afternoon.
43:20Thank you very much, Cleo.
43:23These are the handcuffs that Madison had on when he died.
43:26The ones he couldn't unlock with the key that Eddie Clark passed him.
43:30Because they weren't Clark's handcuffs.
43:33They were yours.
43:38So, how did you know?
43:51Baldwin's a master magician, so it makes sense he'd use classical misdirection to murder.
43:57You had us so busy trying to figure out who could have switched the keys...
44:01it never occurred to us that someone might have switched the cuffs.
44:05That's what you did, isn't it?
44:07Yeah.
44:09Okay, I understand how he did it.
44:11And why he didn't want Madison to reveal his secret on The Letterman Show.
44:15What I don't understand is how you knew Baldwin would move to protect Cleo.
44:19He could have just sat there.
44:21You couldn't do that, could you?
44:23How did you know?
44:26Your wife's a very beautiful woman.
44:29Yes, she was.
44:31This antique pendant she's wearing, did you give that to her?
44:39It was my wedding present to her.
44:41Oh, then it must have great sentimental value for you.
44:44Obviously.
44:45Dad, what are you getting at?
44:47When I saw Cleo backstage yesterday, she was wearing that pendant.
44:53I had other things on my mind, I didn't take much notice.
44:55But then tonight I remembered where I first saw it.
44:59You gave it to her, didn't you?
45:01Yes, I did.
45:03You were in love with her?
45:05Yeah.
45:07And I despised Madison for the way he treated her.
45:10I know.
45:12He'd rather go to prison than hurt Cleo.
45:18My last question answered.
45:20Come on, let's go.
45:22Mark, I've been looking for you.
45:41I was looking for you, too.
45:43Everything worked out great.
45:45I heard they arrested someone else, and you had nothing to do with it, right?
45:48Sometimes these things just have a way of working themselves out.
45:51Oh, thanks, Norman.
46:00Hey, Eddie, what are you doing here?
46:02Actually, I just came by to say thanks for everything you did.
46:05Not necessary.
46:07The least I could do for a fellow magician.
46:09Dad, I went to release him, and he was gone.
46:12Hi.
46:13How did you get out of your cell?
46:15Oh, he's a magician, Steve. He'll never tell you.
46:21Now you see him, and now you don't.
46:25After a while, I was going.
46:26He soft.
46:28Oh.
46:31Thank you the rest.
46:41Where do I get out of www.mye?
