an insurance magnate. For the finale of their performances, the Four

Rhodes, Dray, and Bradley attend the Four Horsemen's next performance in New Orleans.
The group's finale involves their stealing about $140 million from
Tressler's bank account and distributing it to the audience, which
comprises people whose insurance claims had been denied or reduced by
Tressler's company. Rhodes attempts to arrest the Four Horsemen, but
they escape with help from audience members who were hypnotized
to tackle whoever next yelled "Freeze". An infuriated Tressler hires
Bradley to expose and humiliate the Four Horsemen in their next
performance. Later, while researching the Four Horsemen's background,
Dray learns about rumors of a secret society of magicians called "The
Eye" and suggests to a skeptical Rhodes the case might be connected to a
magician whom Bradley once exposed, and was so humiliated that he
attempted a dangerous underwater stunt and drowned.Before the Four Horsemen's last performance in New York City,
Rhodes and Dray locate the group's hideout and confront Wilder there.
Wilder attempts to escape in a stolen car, but during the chase it flips
and explodes. Rhodes and Dray learn that the Four Horsemen are
targeting a particular safe, which is under the surveillance of another
FBI team which has taken over the case. They intercept the safe en route
to 5 Pointz,
but find it empty. The ability of the Four Horseman to continually
outwit the FBI leads Rhodes to suspect that there must be a fifth member
of the team, potentially Dray or Bradley.He designed the Horsemen plot to obtain revenge on those involved:
Bradley, for humiliating his father, and potentially even sabotaging the
trick; the bank in Paris and Tressler's company, which refused to pay
insurance on his father's death; and the company that produced the safe
used in the trick. Due to the inferior quality of metal used to
construct the safe, it warped, resulting in Rhodes' father's inability
to escape it. Rhodes was living in poverty until The Eye recruited him.
He admits that he has fallen in love with Dray. Dray then decides not to
turn him in, and together they overlook the Seine River.
