All language subtitles for Friday The 13th S01E06 - The Great Montarro.eng

You know normally I don't allow
visitors in my dressing room.

Oh, I am so grateful to you
for the opportunity.

Think nothing of it.

So you're really going to let
me help you with your act.

I can't think of anyone
I'd rather have.

Now, let us toast to the
assistance you will provide me.

So, um, what is it
I'm gonna have to do?

All in due time, my dear.

All in due time.

For now, let us enjoy the few
precious moments remaining.

How many...!

How many times do I have to tell you

Not to bother me
before a performance?

They want us to go on early.

The amazing goldfarb
called in sick.

Get out of here
and stay out of here.

I'll meet you on stage.

Yes, sir!

Farewell my lovely.

Thank you. Thank you.

Now, ladies and gentlemen,

The climax of our
extraordinary show.

I, fahteem the magnificent,
will perform the impossible.

The death defying
cabinet of doom.

You see here nine

Stainless steel blades.

All positioned to plunge
into the cabinet.

I have offered $50,000
to anyone who can perform

The cabinet of doom trick
successfully and live.

But before you
all rush up,

Let me add that two men have
died in this cabinet trying.

Human flesh

And muscle are to these blades

What butter is to a hot blade.

Now, a graphic demonstration
of what happened

To those who attempted

The cabinet of doom and failed.

Let me out!

And now, ladies and gentlemen,

It's my turn.

Silence please.

Let me out!

This feat requires
total concentration.

Thank you. Thank you.

Thank you.

Hey, what are you doing here?

I'm packing up.

No, don't touch that!

No! No!

No!

Oh, no, that's terrible.

What is it?

Fahteem the magnificent.

Who? The what?

Fahteem the magnificent.

He was one of the great
magicians of the world.

It seems that he died
in an accident

Nearly three months ago.

Oh, friend of yours?

No. Not really.

It's just that, ah, those of us
who are interested in magic

Were floored by his sudden
rise to prominence.

He does one
of the greatest

Illusions of all time.

Very few magicians
would even try it.

Yeah, what was it?

The cabinet of doom.

Sounds like a laugh a minute.

He used to strap himself
into a coffin

And then a dozen steel spikes
were driven right into it.

Please. I'm trying to eat.

Oh, no. There was
never a mark on him.

He got out without
even a scratch.

To this day, nobody
knows how he even did it.

A couple of other magicians
tried to duplicate it,

But they didn't even live long
enough to find out what happened.

Yeah, being a magician's
a dangerous job.

I mean, it's not on my list
of career possibilities.

Don't you joke about it, ryan.

Look, some of those tricks
are very dangerous.

I used to do one that was
called the pendulum of death.

Now that really required
impeccable timing,

Dexterity and skill.

You were much... Younger then.

Thank you for pointing
that out to me.

Oh, whatever happened
to fahteem?

Oh, he was putting
the cabinet away,

And the armature with
all the spikes slipped.

I'm glad you find that amusing.

No, it's just that, um,
fahteem the magnificent's

Real name was harvey ringwald
of the bronx.

That name sounds
awfully familiar.

Yes, it does.

The manifest.

I got it here.

Yeah, here it is.

Item number 37492.

Sold to harvey ringwald,

The houdin box.

He had the "uhdan" box.

Uhdan box, hoodeen box,
which one is it?

Ah, it once belonged

To that legendary magician
from France, houdin.

He died trying to perfect it.

And you think they're connected?

Maybe. Who knows?

We better get back this houdin
box before anybody else dies.

It says here that fahteem
had an assistant,

Robert simpson, who now works

For a magic supply house
making properties.

Why don't you guys see
what you can learn from him.

I'm gonna talk to some friends
of mine at the temple of magic.

Fahteem used to hang out there.

Maybe they can tell me
something about him.

Meet you there later.
Mm-hmm.

Sorry, I really don't know
what happened to his things.

I haven't seen them
since the accident.

Nor do I care to.

What about a houdin box?
Does that ring a bell?

Nope.

Our records show that
fahteem bought this box

About two years ago.

So?

Look, it's really important
that we get it back.

Why?

For sentimental reasons.

It belonged to our uncle.

We're willing to pay
good money for it.

Well, you've come
to the wrong person.

I knew nothing
about his equipment.

But you worked
with him, didn't you?

Nobody worked with fahteem.

You worked for him.

You did as he told
you to, that's all.

I was his flunky,
if that's what you mean.

So you didn't know
how his tricks worked?

Magicians guard their secrets
with their lives.

Well that's obviously
what fahteem did.

And his secrets died with him.

And good riddance.

So you have no idea
where his things are now.

Listen, last I heard
they were all auctioned off.

Now, if you'll
excuse me,

I really don't have time

To participate
in your scavenger hunt.

And as far as I'm concerned,

I should have been the headliner
and fahteem the flunky.

Hello.
Yeah, it's me.

Two collectors
just paid me a visit.

They were looking for the box.

Did you tell them anything?

No. No I didn't tell
them anything.

Could there be trouble?

Well, if they get in the way,
we'll just have to lose them.

It's as simple as that.

Okay, handle it.
Okay.

All right, everybody!

All right now,
keep this moving.

I want all the tryouts
completed as fast as possible.

Now remember, the television
cameras tomorrow night

At the competition.
See you up there.

You're in very
good voice, monte.

Well, jack,
how are you?

Good to see you.
You're looking good man.

Yeah, you're not so bad
for an older man.

Sit down.

Well, what did you
want to see me about?

Gee, this is some bash
you're putting on.

Television and everything?

Oh, yeah.
It's, it's the biggest.

100,000 bucks first prize

And admission to
the magic star society.

Magicians from all
over are coming out

Of the woodwork
to try out.

A chance to get
into the inner sanctum.

Mr. Martin,
this is for you.

Tommy,

I thought I told you
this was a closed set?

Well, they were looking
for a runner, so I took the job.

Gotta go.

So, uh, what can
I do for you?

You knew
fahteem the magnificent?

You mean harvey ringwald
the sleazebag?

Yeah. What about him?

What happened to him?

As far as I know,
he had an accident. Why?

He had a piece of equipment
that I wouldn't mind acquiring.

Ooh, I'm afraid you're
a little late for that.

His stuff
has been disbursed already.

You're not thinking of doing the
cabinet of doom trick are you?

Only a certified lunatic like
that tommy would try that one.

Kids.

Jack...

Oh, ah, these are
my business partners.

Oh, glad to meet you.

Well, if that's
all there is,

I'm afraid
I have to go.

I wish I could invite
you to stay.

This is strictly
a closed set.

You know how temperamental
magicians are.

Ah, look,
why don't you come back

Tomorrow night for the show?

Be my guests.

I'll let you in for half price.

Oh, just kidding.

It's on the house.

Excuse me.

Thanks. We just might.

What were you guys able
to find out?

Well, fahteem and
his assistant

Weren't exactly
drinking buddies.

Yeah, do not invite
to the same party.

You will do as I say!

Please, father...

And no more back talk.

Who's running this
show, you or me?

Ever since
your mother died,

You've been nothing
but a problem!

Wow, that poor girl.

Her father seems
to take his act

A little too
seriously.

I think they really want us
out of here. Come on, let's go.

Excuse me.

I'm afraid this place
is off-limits

To all except magicians.

But of course.

I am the great montarro

And I have come
to grace your contest.

I've never heard of ya.

You will.

What's your specialty?

A death-defying act that will
stagger the imagination.

I call it the coffin of blood.

Whoever has the houdin box

Has the power to be the best
magician in the world.

It's my guess they're going

To try and prove it
in monte's competition.

Marvelous.

So all we have
to do is figure,

Out of a hundred
magicians,

Which one just might
possibly have it.

Well, it's not hopeless.

The manifest said
the box is pretty big.

That eliminates quite
a few acts, right?

Most of them I would think.

Don't forget, we're looking
for something spectacular

And death-defying.

Or someone who would be
willing to use a cursed object.

Someone like montarro.

Did you see the way
he treated his daughter?

It was awful.

Now this is all under the
assumption that we're able

To get back into
the temple of magic

Long enough to have a look
around, which we can't.

Ah, don't
be too sure.

You heard it yourself.

The guy said the
place is closed.

Except to magicians
and their assistants.

Ah, yes.

You sure
this is a good idea?

Can you think of a better
way of getting in there?

When was the last time you did

The, uh, burning rope
escape trick?

You mean the
pendulum of death!

Ah, it's like riding a bicycle;
you never forget.

Good. Good.

It's the old "pendulum
of death," monte.

The pendulum
of death?

No way!

Oh, come on now.
Monte, look...

No!

You and I,
we've forgotten more

Than these young people have ever known.
No!

Please?
Old time's sake.

Oh, all right.
All right.

But you'll have to
audition like anyone else.

But of course.

I'll try and squeeze you
in late this afternoon.

Only the top five acts get into
the televised finals tonight.

Understood.

Come on!
Come on, miranda.

I'll be down to take a look
at your act in five minutes.

Get it together!

You guys can go on after
the prodigious panzini.

Good.

Good luck.
Thank you, monte.

Well, we got a lot to do and
we haven't much time to do it,

So come on.
Let's get going.

Well, I've got to unload all your gear.

Why don't I check out the prop
room while I'm down there?

That's a good idea.

� �

� �

Ready, set...

Go!

Now the secret pocket
for the key.

Ta-da!

How long did you say it takes
for that rope to burn through?

Oh, lots of time,
almost a minute.

It took you 85 seconds.

Well, it's faster upside down.

I'm a little rusty.

I found something...

In the prop room.

The houdin box.

I don't know.
It looks like that trick fahteem did.

It's got the holes in it
with the big knives,

But get this.

It belongs to montarro.

Then, if montarro is using
the old cabinet of doom box,

That means he has got his hands
on some of fahteem's equipment

That was up for auction.

I better check that out.

You two keep an eye
on montarro and lyla, hmm?

Well, great.
Maybe we'll get lucky.

You won't have
to do your trick after all.

What?! And miss the return
of the great mad marshak?!

Come on. Let's go.

I've spent too many years
scrounging on this

To be stopped by
a little blackmailer.

Why would anyone want
to blackmail us?

Who knows?
Jealousy. Greed.

There are a lot of sick,
demented people out there, lyla.

But what if you don't listen?

Oh, stay out of this!

This is my business,
so let me handle it.

This is my chance, lyla,
and I will not be denied.

Please, father, don't!
Shut up!

Let us not have talk
about such nonsense!

I'm gonna tail him, make sure
he doesn't barge in on jack.

You want to keep
an eye on lyla?

� �

You okay?

Hi. My name's micki.

I'm lyla.

I really appreciate this.

Most people aren't
so friendly.

I know.

Well, maybe when this is
all over we can get together.

If my father lets me.

He's very strict.

Well,

Don't let him get you too down.

I try not to.

I really do love him.

Well, you'll just have
to come to the store.

We'll have some fun.

You don't do this
all the time?

This? Magic?

Hell, no.

You're lucky.

I've been on the road
with my father since I was 16.

Your, um, father
does this trick...

The coffin of blood?

I guess so.

I don't know too much about it.

What about you?

Why are you
doing this?

Well, to tell you the truth,

We're looking...

To see if we can't win $100,000.

I know what you mean.

Oh. Hello,
mr. Montarro.

What are you doing here?

Uh... Same thing you are.

Just checking our equipment.

You're following me.

Well, a-as a matter
of fact, I am.

You do not belong here.

Mr. Montarro!

Can I have
your autograph?

You can just make
it out to ryan.

I was a big fan of
fahteem the magnificent.

Did you know him?

He had an act a
lot like yours.

No, I never met him.

That's too bad.
He was quite a guy.

You will leave now.

No one is allowed

To watch me prepare
the coffin of blood.

Oh, yeah, sure.

I'm sorry to have
bothered you.

Uh... Good luck
at the contest.

Jack, I didn't know you
were in the prop room.

Well, I very nearly wasn't,
thanks to you, huh?

Look. I'm sorry.

Why didn't you
say something?

I was too scared.

Besides, I didn't
want montarro to know.

Don't you think that's a little brave?
I think

It's a little stupid,
but I'm here anyway, aren't I?

Now, let's get on with it.

Yeah, what have we learned?

Well,
for starters,

Lyla doesn't
have a clue.

In fact,
she's terrified of him.

Yeah, who wouldn't be?
Montarro?

And that coffin of blood.

That, that rig
is really just that.

There's no way out
of that thing.

There's gotta be something else.

Those blades would
carve a turkey.

Has to be the houdin box.

I can't see it can be
anything else.

That would explain
montarro's paranoia.

Now all we've gotta do
is find that thing.

After you've done your trick.

Well, that first.
Come on.

Listen, I can only

Wait ten minutes.

We've gotta get set up
for the finals tonight.

Don't worry.
He'll be here.

Where do you
think he is?

God, I hope he hasn't
had second thoughts.

I don't know.

I'll check the john.

I'll check his
dressing room.

Jack.

Jack?

He wasn't in the john.
I checked the prop room.

He wasn't even in
the wine cellar.

Ryan, I checked his
dressing room. I...

Jack.
Jack!

Let's get this
show on the road.

You're holding up everything.

Okay, okay, okay.

Come help me
with this.

Ladies and gentlemen.

What you are about to witness

Is one of the most
dangerous escapes

Ever attempted by a magician--
the pendulum of death.

As you have seen, the
magnificent marshak's hands

Have been completely immobilized

By the straightjacket
he is wearing.

To further render him helpless,

Stainless steel chains have
been wrapped around his body

And tied to this belt
by those two padlocks.

Impossible as this feat
may appear to be already,

The magnificent marshak
has raised the stakes

By attempting to free himself
while suspended by his legs over

This bed of spikes.

There is one more
little complication.

The rope from which he is
suspended, shall be burning.

He will have 60 seconds
to extricate himself

Before the rope burns
completely through,

Sending him plunging
onto the bed of spikes.

Magnificent marshak,
are you ready?

Begin!

Hoist him up!

Ryan.

Hurry up, jack.

Jack!

He can't get out!

Do something!

Take him down!

Jack!

Call an ambulance.

Somebody get
an ambulance.

Oh, my god!

Easy. Easy with him.

Call an ambulance.

I should never have
let him do this.

I've seen it
all before.

Shut up!

Shut up!

Someone do something.

I don't understand.

Where's jack?

I don't know!

Ryan, micki!

Jack!
Thank god!

Oh, my god.

Where've you been?

The kid wanted
his chance so badly,

He locked me in the closet.

Jack, look at that
for chance.

The key's broken.

That wasn't broken--
that was filed.

Are you saying
this wasn't an accident?

I'm saying somebody wanted me dead.
Why?

Why would they want you dead?

Because we're
getting too close.

Well, if they
kill jack,

They get rid of all three of us.

Exactly.

Montarro!

Montarro could have done this,

But he's a little
too obvious.

Now, who else is there?

Miranda. What about miranda?

She's been watching
us like a hawk.

Yes, I think it's time
we paid her

A little visit and had a chat.

It's robert!

Robert?

Fahteem's assistant? But...

Miranda was robert?

Wait a minute. W-where,
where's the suicide note?

Ryan, it-it
may not even be suicide.

Somebody was trying to get
rid of me, and now robert.

Why? What's
the connection.

Why does there have
to be a connection?

I'll bet there
is a connection.

Maybe it's just
a random killer.

Th-this is his act.

Oh, boy.
Sorry.

Wait a minute.
What's this?

Looks like sawdust.

What would sawdust
be doing in his hair?

Hey, robert,

Check this...

Oh, my god!
Hey, hold it!

no, please.

I don't know anything.

It was all bobby's idea.
J-just don't hurt me.

What was bobby's idea?

N-nothing...

shall we try that again?

I didn't want any part
of blackmailing montarro.

Blackmailing
montarro?

Why would anyone want
to blackmail montarro?

Ryan, let me
talk to him.

Now, listen you.

Whoever did this to bobby
could easily do it to you.

Bobby knew something,
didn't he?

Something about a box?

How did you know?

Just tell me!

All right.

There was this box
that fahteem used

To do the cabinet
of doom trick.

Now, robert tried to find out
everything he could about it,

But fahteem wouldn't let him
know the first thing.

Fahteem died.

The box vanished.

He was probably
killed for the box.

Montarro.

So you came here
to search for it.

Bobby said that if we
found out who had the box,

We could write our own ticket.

So we came and we turned
the place upside down and...

And robert found it.

Where?

Where is it?

He didn't tell me that.

But what he did tell me was,
he sent a note to montarro

To arrange terms,

That we'd be the headliners

In exchange for our silence.

Well, he got robert's
silence, didn't he?

Now, you'll be next
unless you help us.

Now, tell us
about the box.

How does it work?

I don't know that

And I don't
want to know.

What I do know is that
whenever fahteem performed

The cabinet
of doom trick,

Somebody had to be
inside the box.

The curse.

What?

Nothing.

The victims get locked
in the houdin box.

There's no illusion,
there's no sleight of hand.

It's just cold-blooded murder.

The show goes on
in half an hour.

We've got to stop it.

I can go and see monte and try
and get him to postpone it,

Or at least stop that,
that coffin of blood thing.

All right. I'll
go speak to lyla.

The poor thing probably has no
idea what her father's up to,

But if I can persuade her
not to perform this evening,

There's no way he
can possibly go on.

I'll go look
for montarro.

He's probably lining
up another victim.

Oh, no.
Oh, no.

Well, uh, why don't
you come with me

And we'll take care of it?

Lyla, I've gotta
talk to you.

Um, sure. Um,
you look worried.

Is your friend okay?

He's fine. It's you
I'm worried about.

Me?
Yeah.

Don't worry about
me. I'm fine.

Father and I are getting
along pretty good now.

Lyla, I'm gonna
ask you to trust me.

I do. What are you getting at?

If you didn't help your father

Do the coffin
of blood trick this evening,

What would happen?

Are you kidding? Everything.

He can't do it alone.

Well, then that's what I'm
gonna ask you to do. What?

This means the world to him.

He's given
his whole life to this.

Lyla, he's given more
than his life. This is magic.

Real magic.

Oh, come on.

There's no such thing as magic.

That's what I used to believe.

You're serious, aren't you?

Dead serious.

Look, lyla,

There's something
called the houdin box.

I think your father has it.

So that's what he's been
so secretive about.

You've seen it?

He's kept it hidden.

Where? Can I see it?

Sure. I'll show you.

Where is it?

It's over here.

Is this what you're
talking about?

Yeah, I think it is.

Let me have a look.

Oh. It's caked with blood.

Lyla!

What's that, micki?

I can't understand
a word you're saying.

Just help me, lyla.

You thought my father was
the great montarro.

I'm the great montarro.

All he can do is
boss me around.

But without me, he's nothing.

I'm the one who made him
what he is.

Not the other way around.

What do you mean?
He doesn't even know what's going on.

Lyla! Please...!

Please!

And nobody, nobody is going
to get in my way.

Not fahteem,

Not robert,

Not even you.

I was beginning to like you.

I really want to thank you
for helping me with the act.

I would have had to find
myself a victim anyway.

But you've saved me the trouble.

Lyla, please. I'm sorry you
won't be able to see us win.

But you'll be there in spirit.

Oh, help me, somebody.

Help me, please!

Somebody, help me!

Montarro's up next.

Monte, you've got
to listen to me.

You've got to postpone the
montarro's performance.

What, what, come on, jack.

Look, look, I'm
deadly serious.

This is important!

A little professional
jealousy.

Too bad about that
little trick of yours.

You know me better than that.
I thought I did.

Now please excuse me. No, no, no,
no. Don't you know what's going on?

Can't you see?

Now look, all I can see is that
I've got a show to produce,

Which somebody is
trying to sabotage.

What are you talking about?

The murders.
What murders?

Tommy. Tommy?
Ah, tommy was a foolish kid.

He died trying to do something
he shouldn't a been doing.

Monte, it should have been me
landing on those spikes.

Oh, what are you contemplating,
don't flatter yourself.

Who'd want to kill you?

What, then robert.
Robert?

You mean miranda, the guy
with the identity crisis,

And a few screws
loose in his belfry.

He committed suicide which
isn't hard to understand.

That's just what the killer
wanted you to believe.

Jack, I haven't time
for all of this.

We're on the air.
Now, please...

I can't get through to monte,
he's not going to stop the show.

Montarro's on next.

Yes, I know. I know.

Look, have you seen micki?

No, no.

Wait a minute, if micki
went to talk to lyla

And lyla's here.
Where's micki?

No mistakes now.

This is our big chance.

Hi. Have you
seen micki?

Uh, not for awhile.

We have to go on.

Lyla has sawdust on her back.

Didn't robert have
sawdust in his wig?

Maybe they get it
from that dummy

They use in their
coffin trick.

No, no. They haven't
even done the act yet.

Besides, I saw sawdust
around here somewhere else.

What? In the prop room?

No, no, in the wine cellar.

When I was going down
to look in the prop room,

I saw sawdust in
the wine cellar.

What would lyla be doing
in the wine cellar?

Recently, too.

While she has
her costume on.

Micki!

Thank you,
ladies and gentlemen.

We hope you enjoyed
the fabulous rossini.

Judges, cast your ballots.

And now, ladies and gentlemen,
in a few moments,

The next contestant
for your consideration,

A newcomer-- the great montarro.

And now, ladies and gentlemen,

The great montarro
will perform

His death-defying act
of skill and courage,

The famed and infamous
coffin of blood.

There are nine
stainless steel blades.

Each one positioned
to plunge through the lid

And impale the
magician within.

Like the late
fahteem the magnificent,

I have offered
$50,000 to anyone

Who can successfully perform
the coffin of blood.

And by that I mean,
anyone who survives it.

Micki!

Where the hell could she be?

Micki!

Let's try there.

Help!

I heard something!

Help!

Micki?

Imagine, if this
had been human flesh.

A graphic description

Of the impossibility of
escaping the coffin of blood.

this is the
best I've ever seen you.

They love it.

Help.

Help, ryan!

I've never seen
anything like it.

There's no door.

Well, there's got to be a
trigger or something. Come on.

I don't know. I don't know.

I see her, I see her.

Micki! Micki!
Hold on! I'll get you out!

Jack!

And now, the great montarro
will attempt the impossible.

Jack, what are you doing?

This crystal might be the lock.

If I can just pry it out,

Help.

Jack!

Ryan, pass me the flashlight.

Dim the lights, please.

Are you ready?

The great montarro is ready.

Hurry!

Father!

Father!

No!

Father!

Father!

No, no, no!

Oh, no!

No! No! No! No!

� don't chain me down,
little darlin' �

� I long to be free �

� don't chain me down,
little darlin' �

� and please, ma-ma... Me. �

There we go.

Isn't that weird.

A girl like lyla could turn
out to be such a psycho.

Never judge a book
by its cover.

Or a man by the jacket
that he's wearing.

Yeah, but you never know, jack.

Micki could turn out
to be a real schizo.

I'd have to be to work
with you, wouldn't I?

Have you got anything
in a 40 regular?

Oh, this is you, my boy.
This is just you.

As a matter of fact,
maybe we can find you pants

And a ball and chain
to match.

Micki, would you make
this tighter, please?

Oh, my pleasure,

Sure you can handle it?

Sure, I'm sure.

This is gonna be as easy as
lying down between silk sheets.

That certainly ought
to wrap it up.

Good.

Micki...
Yeah.

...You got the stopwatch?

Yeah, you want
me to time you?

I'm ready, I'm
ready, let's go.

Ready.
Okay, whenever you are.

Set...

Go.

Jack, would you like
another cup of coffee?

I don't mind if I do.

Here, let me put this right
where you can see it.

Oh, but it only runs
up to an hour.

Um...

Guys!

Hey!

Guys, this isn't funny anymore.
