Thaddeus Bradley[edit]
- Are you listening, Horsemen? When you emerge, and I know you will, I will be there, waiting for you. 'Cause mark my words, you will get what's coming to you... in ways you can't expect, or imagine, but very much deserve. Because one thing I believe in is an eye for an eye.
Giant computer-generated face with a demonic voice[edit]
- As the Horsemen like to say, magic is about controlling perception. You see them as champions of the truth. But are they? Or is that just another one of their illusions? So since they clearly love secrets, let's reveal some of theirs. Do you recall the death of Jack Wilder? What if I told you that he's not just alive, but he's actually right here! And do you know who else is here? The FBI. Let's let them in, shall we? And now, for the big reveal. There is a fifth Horseman. And he's not only their leader; he's also the biggest criminal of them all. Soon-to-be former FBI agent Dylan Rhodes!
Lula May[edit]
- Do you guys ever think that the Eye is watching this? You know, that maybe this is even what they want? And at the exact right moment, they're gonna swoop in, and we'll be like, "Yes! Thank God you're here! Thank God! Just in the nick of time, Eye!" And then we'll just celebrate, and it was all worth it in the end? I don't even really think that, either, so... it's cool.
Dialogue[edit]
- Dylan Rhodes: Hey, tell me you're safe. Where are you?
- Thaddeus Bradley: Right where you left me. 18 months ago, Agent Rhodes.
- Dylan: Thaddeus?
- Thaddeus: How does it feel to lose everything? Your job. Your identity. Your reason for living. How does it feel to be out of control, perhaps for the first time?
- Dylan: What do you want?
- Thaddeus: You're a fool, Agent Rhodes. You always have been.
- Dylan: Where are they?
- Thaddeus: I'm not telling you on the phone!
- Dylan: Don't lie to me, Thaddeus. Where are they?!
- Thaddeus: And if you're wondering if I was behind the Horsemen's recent debacle... well, I'll let you work that out for yourself.
- Dylan: Hey, I burned you once; I'll burn you again. And I'm not playing, Thaddeus.
- Thaddeus: It's not my game, Agent Rhodes. It's yours. You started it when you locked me in a cell. This is simply my move. Next one is yours, and yours alone.
