Previously on "The Lost Symbol..."

Your husband shot me.

He's not my husband anymore.

(grunting)

Let me see some ID.

SATO: First your brother,

then your father.

You could be next.

This is crazy.

LANGDON: A psychopath is killing people

to ensure that I keep going,

and your Leviathan friends are showing up in gas masks

trying to get me to stop.

But I can't stop, not if I want to get Peter back.

It's a piece of rock.

It's a map.

The pyramid and the capstone

will reveal the location of the portal.

KNOPP: So the bottom line is, if this contract gets awarded

it'll add 10,000 new jobs.

And that's in Nevada alone.

Every one of those

is a future vote the senator can count on.

If those projections are even accurate.

CBO sees it differently.

Your boss didn't get to be chair

of the Armed Services Committee by listening to the CBO.

Now, I know she'd like to keep that position,

but she's gonna have to get reelected first.

If she pushes this over the line,

we'd be happy to ensure she meets her fundraising goals.

(door opens)

SECRETARY: Sir? Your next appointment is here.

He's waiting in your office.

Warren.

Thanks for coming in.

-How have you been? -I've been well.

Still dreaming of that cracked crab down at Nags Head.

(laughs) I'm glad.

Nothing gives Emily and I more pleasure

than sharing that house with people.

So, I've been trying to push through

a piece of defense legislation, and I could use your help.

Well, unless somebody's changed the Constitution

when I wasn't looking,

the Architect of the Capitol doesn't get a vote.

Well, I don't need your vote.

I need your access.

I need to know which way people are leaning.

You're asking me to spy on Congress?

And if I was?

You would strenuously object, of course,

because that would mean betraying your oath

to a sacred institution.

And you would never do that, would you?

Institutions are important.

When individuals are weak,

they ensure the group remains strong.

You understand that.

At least, you used to.

Leviathan exists to protect a secret

more important than any one person's life.

More important than Peter Solomon's,

certainly more important than yours.

"We protect it from those who would do evil.

We must ensure the mystery remains unsolved."

What do you want, Jonathan?

I want to know how far Robert Langdon has gotten.

"The secret hides within The Order."

"The Order," capitalized-- what Order?

It can't just mean Freemasonry, that'd be redundant.

So what?

The Carthusians?

Too hermetic.

Franciscans? Too familiar.

Friend of mine forwarded me the tox screens from Trish.

She was drugged. Ketamine.

Ketamine.

That's like a party drug, right?

Used to be.

People use it now for pain, depression.

Put people in a coma with it sometimes.

Point is, it's not easy to get.

Unless you have a contact.

Like a doctor?

Or pharmacist.

Sophie Bastin.

The janitor's wife?

You said you believed her.

Well, maybe I just wanted to believe her.

I'm thinking I should pay her another visit.

Hey, anything book smart happen in 1514?

Not especially.

Somewhere in the middle of the War of the Holy League,

Copernicus is finishing his theory that the sun is,

in fact, the center of the universe. Why?

Because the box is dated.

1514 AD.

"AD" isn't a date.

It's a person.

* *

(coughing)

(labored breathing)

(coughing)

(grunts softly)

(sighs)

(groans)

(panting)

(exhales sharply)

MAL'AKH: You're awake.

If that's what you're wondering.

You seem to be recovering well.

Is that what this is?

Post-op?

If you're going to torture me,

at least have the good grace to do it while I'm awake.

(sighs)

I assume you have a reason for all this?

You'll understand soon enough.

But first, a statement.

Think of it as, uh, a lecture.

If that helps.

Why Robert? He's not even a Freemason.

He's in need of your encouragement.

There are others who will never let him succeed.

Leviathan?

They don't concern me.

(clicks tongue) Well, they should.

-I'm not reading this. -You will.

Or you will go back into the tank

to whatever awaits you there.

A.D. stands for Albrecht Dürer.

German. 16th century.

In medieval art,

initials were often drawn this way.

Symbols used instead of signatures.

He had the ultimate Renaissance mind:

artist, philosopher, alchemist,

and lifelong student of the ancient mysteries.

So we're looking for a painting he did in 1514.

An engraving.

-"Melencolia I." -Creepy.

Dense with symbolism.

It represents mankind's failed attempt

to transform human intellect

into godlike power.

Like in the Rotunda. "Apotheosis..."

"Of Washington."

Exactly.

That's not a coincidence.

And neither is that.

A magic square.

Dürer accomplished what had seemed impossible.

Every number added horizontally, vertically,

diagonally and quarterly,

all equals the same number: 34.

(voice-over): My earlier decryption

of the pyramid gave us meaningless letters.

Using the magic square,

you see that the first box is 16.

That becomes "J."

Second is three, that's an "E."

Then two, "O."

Next box, that's "S."

11's "A." "N."

U-N-U-S.

"Jeova...

"Sanctus...

Unus."

What does it mean?

One true God.

NUÑEZ: All right, cool.

I'm gonna let you Harvard this out.

I'm gonna go see the janitor's wife.

-Great. Yeah. -All right. Okay.

(door opens)

-(door closes) -(phone vibrates)

Robert, my time is running out.

If you fail to locate the portal,

it won't be my hand you find,

but my head.

(sighs)

-Hey. -Hey.

PETER: He understands, Nare-uh-thack... that...

the present situation is unsustainable.

Ness no...

he knows government personnel are involved,

and the time he needs to get from you

what he wants is waning.

Act quickly.

And do not prok...

do not provoke contact with others on this,

or...

this communication may be my last.

I went back and forth over whether I should even show you.

No, it's good.

He's alive.

There's something else I wanted you to see.

Is that...

The capstone.

Um...

it came in a... in a stone box,

and there was an inscription on it that led me to an engraving,

-"Melencolia I." -I know that piece.

Dad used to point it out on our trips to the National Gallery.

Do you, do you remember any-anything he said about it?

Did he... did he ever mention the phrase "one true god"?

I don't think so, not specifically.

I wish he was here to tell me what makes it so important.

Maybe I need to go and see it.

There could be something hidden in the actual engraving

that you can't see in a photo online.

I could go with you. I might remember something.

-It's risky. It's risky us even being here together. -Look, Dad said

that time was running out. We have to finish this,

-and two people can do that better than one. -SATO: She's right.

Whoa.

Heard you left the house in a rush.

Thought you might need help.

Well, I don't.

Wha... Wha-What's going on here? Why is she here?

She has some ideas about who took Dad.

And she helped me with something at the lab.

I think we can trust her.

Warren told me the CIA is looking for the portal, too.

The CIA looks for a lot of things.

I could just take what you've got in that bag

and walk it over to Langley, if that's how I wanted to play it.

But it's not.

Why else would you want to go to the museum with me?

If anything goes wrong, I have something you need.

What's that?

A gun.

(sighs)

(door opens in distance)

(door closes)

(other engine starts)

(clears throat)

* *

MAL'AKH: The shivering is normal.

You've been to a very cold place.

Hell is not a burning pit.

No, in truth, it's...

so very cold.

What was the goal?

The goal is clarity.

Did you see him in the Araf?

Did you live out your poor son's death?

You don't have to feel guilty.

No.

(chuckles softly)

Death was a blessing for him.

And all this you did...

to find the ancient wisdom.

Tell me what you think this will bring you in the end.

What did it bring the Adepts of ancient Egypt?

I will move as a god among the masses.

I will return us to the days of the Old Kingdom.

I will initiate the worthy...

and destroy the weak.

Excuse me, the Albrecht Dürer exhibit?

Oh, I got it. Thank you.

(indistinct chatter)

That's some coincidence.

Let's go.

Little faster.

Hey, wouldn't we be safer in the crowd?

The crowd wouldn't be.

Take it easy, Professor.

Where's your friend?

(grunting)

Langdon, run!

(grunting)

-(yells) -Go!

(tires screech)

Get in!

(tires squeal)

KATHERINE: So these guys were part of your group?

They were Leviathan?

Yes.

I'm sorry I put you in this position.

It was my choice.

It takes a while sometimes to decide

where one's loyalties lie.

Warren.

Thank you.

I don't know what we'd do without you.

Well, I guess you're gonna find out.

I have to go.

Where?

Somewhere far away

until this blows over.

Be safe.

You, too.

We could offer you protection.

No.

If I stay, they'll find me.

And they know how to find anyone.

I appreciate you not saying anything to her

about Zachary.

I hope you get what you're looking for in all this,

not only for your sake but for theirs.

(phone ringing)

Sato.

We're fine.

I'm with Langdon and Katherine at Solomon's house.

There's no need. I can handle it.

I understand.

Robert, my time is running out.

(taps keyboard)

Hey.

Maybe you should stop watching that?

Dad used to play this game with me.

He would talk backwards,

and then I'd try to guess what he was saying.

I always knew the game had started

when he said my name.

And listen.

He understands, Nare-uh-thack...

That's "Katherine" backwards.

(backwards): Katherine...

So he could have planted clues in the audio?

Mm-hmm. Here.

PETER: ...situation is unsustainable.

Ness no...

(backwards): On ssen...

"On sen."

Something sounds familiar about that.

In Japanese, onsen is a term for hot springs.

-Hot springs. -Right.

He could be trying to tell us something about the geography.

Yeah, like where he's being held, near hot springs.

-West Virginia, maybe. -This is a long shot, you know?

Maybe, but worth investigating.

We don't have time.

My boss knows what happened at the museum.

He's worried Leviathan could come for those.

He's told me to bring them in

so our analysts can try to crack it.

KATHERINE: You can't do that.

If you do that and Mal'akh finds out, my dad is dead.

If I don't check in soon, the Agency will send people,

-and they won't be nice like me. -There has to be another way.

The other way is to solve this thing

and give Mal'akh the answers he wants, but...

without more time,

I don't know how to get them.

Damn it.

But he doesn't know that.

He doesn't know you're at an impasse.

We can fake it.

-What does that mean? -Robert tells him he's figured out

the location of the portal and arranges a drop.

A drop. So then I meet him,

and, uh, what, I'm supposed to lie?

Do what you're good at.

Tell him a story.

Keep him occupied while we extract Peter.

You'd be going against orders.

Sometimes it takes a while to decide

where one's loyalties lie.

I'll keep it stripped down, bring in one person I trust,

-no more. -Maybe one more:

someone I trust.

(phone vibrating)

(sighs)

-Hello? -Hey. It's Robert.

Langdon? I almost didn't answer.

-Where are you? You okay? -Yeah.

Yeah, this is Sato's phone.

-Say what? -I'm with her and Katherine.

Things have escalated.

Did you find anything on your end?

Nah, I searched the whole house.

This place is a bust.

Okay, well...

Sato has a plan-- it could be dangerous, so I won't blame you

-if you don't want to be a part of it. -No, I'm part of it.

-What do you need me to do? -We're gonna set an exchange

to get Peter back.

Can you meet us?

-I'll text you the address. -Leaving now.

(floor creaks)

(grunts)

(objects clatter)

(camera clicks)

I have...

the answers.

I want Peter.

(beeps)

How's the arm?

Fine, thanks.

I didn't know you two knew each other.

Oh, yeah, we go way back.

(phone vibrating)

-Yes? -MAL'AKH: I'll be at 57 Caelian Street

in two hours.

You bring your answers.

Have him ready to go in 90 minutes.

(phone vibrating)

Is everything all right?

Cop from the Capitol came back.

He won't be a problem anymore.

-SATO: What do you think? -ADAMU: Could be worse.

CCTV all through the square.

If we can tap those cameras,

-we'll have angles. -Maybe.

This guy doesn't do anything without a reason,

so why'd he choose this site?

Who's Blake sending?

I want to keep this small.

Blake would never back this.

He doesn't care about Peter Solomon.

So he doesn't know?

-Not about this. -We need backup.

This guy's got people, we don't know how many.

Remember the M23 rebellion?

UN commander snatched back from his captors

-by just two operatives. -In a rented minivan.

We were good.

(chuckles)

This isn't Kinshasa.

This is American soil.

Doing this without a permit could blow back.

Only if we don't execute.

(indistinct conversation)

You haven't told her?

Good.

It's not going to help anything.

I'm gonna ask you once more:

take this up the chain.

We have less than two hours to save a man's life,

so I'm gonna ask you:

go with me on this.

Please.

LANGDON: There's a cross grain

on Dürer's engraving

that only appears when lit from underneath.

So when we got to the museum, I saw it: a symbol.

Which was?

A Maltese cross. An eight-pointed cross

adopted by a subset of the Knights Templar.

-Suddenly it made sense to me. -Stop.

-What? -Who was with you at the museum?

No one.

You said "we."

Could you tell the story backwards?

-Why would I do that? -Because the most reliable way

to detect a liar is to ask them to tell their story in reverse.

-He's not gonna ask me that. -And you need to relax.

-I need to relax? -If you don't,

he'll see right through you.

Let me guess, you want me to meditate?

I remember this argument.

What argument? There was no argument.

Meditation was pretty much

the only thing that got me through Zach's death,

and you called it "flimsy."

The only thing that got you through.

You say that like my support meant nothing.

You left.

You pushed me away.

Okay, can we just...

(scoffs)

This is a perfect example.

Um, I let you derail me just then.

(breath trembling): When we're in stressful situations,

our anxiety runs wild, and...

mistakes from the past,

fear of what could go wrong in the future takes over.

I hear you.

I-I just think I need to simplify...

all this.

Yeah.

You really feel like I wasn't there for you?

You're here for me now.

(groans softly)

-I wish you could meet him. -(low, muffled groan)

Then maybe you'd understand.

Maybe you haven't suffered enough.

When you suffer like we did,

when there is nothing left to believe in,

and then someone comes into your life

and shows you how it was all

a necessary stage in the process of being reborn...

(takes deep breath): well...

that brings a great clarity.

It allows you to believe with a fortitude

you would have never had before.

And you would die for that kind of belief.

(voice-over): You've reached Alfonso Nuñez.

I'm not able to take your call.

Leave a message, I'll get back to you as soon as I can.

Voice mail again.

What if something happened to him?

Well, we can't worry about that right now.

Okay, Langdon.

We're all in place.

Can you hear me okay?

SATO: Crystal clear.

Whenever you're ready.

Just a walk in the park.

LANGDON: What about Nuñez?

Stay focused.

Don't talk.

Scratch your nose if you hear me.

Langdon, could be him at six o'clock.

Sorry, false alarm.

(coughs)

I don't see him. Do you see anything?

Stay put.

We're here on his terms.

(phone vibrating)

SATO: Answer it. Put the phone on your left ear,

so there's no feedback from the earwig.

I'm in the square. Where are you?

MAL'AKH: Closer than you think.

But I'm not coming to you.

You're coming to me.

Now follow my directions.

Do not deviate, or I will hang up

and you will never see Peter again.

Okay, I understand.

Over your left shoulder,

there's a trash can on the southwest corner.

Go to it. Now.

I'm here.

Good. Now say goodbye to the CIA.

-What? -Toss your earpiece in the trash

and head directly north.

Langdon, don't. He's bluffing.

MAL'AKH: Do it now.

Hold here.

You're going to cross in ten seconds.

Five.

Four.

-Three. Two. -Whoa, hold on, there's a bus.

-One. Go. -Oh, shit.

(horn blows)

We lost him. He's alone.

No, he's not. Adamu, we lost contact.

Don't let him out of your sight.

ADAMU: You got it.

-(tires screeching, horns honking) -Hey!

Adamu, do you have a visual?

Stand by.

He's moving north now.

(audio breaking up)

SATO: Say again? You're breaking up.

-He's planned all this. -(audio breaking up)

He's two steps ahead.

-Adamu. -(audio breaking up)

ADAMU: Wait.

I see him.

He's going into the Caelian parking structure,

-corner of H and 23rd. -I'm coming.

Listen in.

If things go bad, call 911, say there's a bomb. Got that?

Yeah.

MAL'AKH: Take the stairs.

Go to level 1.

Section C.

(low groaning)

I could see your pain when we met yesterday.

You looked like Nick before he found peace.

(Nuñez grunts)

-Now you'll have no more pain. -(exhales)

(grunting)

Put it down.

We don't have to do this.

Okay? My friends are gonna give your boss everything he wants.

Okay? They get Peter Solomon back, and everybody wins.

He can't go back.

He's the instrument.

(pants)

Instrument?

What the hell are you talking about?

For the final stage.

Okay, look.

We can do this here or downtown,

but either way I got the gun, so...

I'm taking you in, and you're gonna tell us everything.

-No! -(grunting)

I'm here.

Level 1, section C.

MAL'AKH: We meet upon the level.

And what have you brought for me?

Put it on the ground.

And what does it say?

"Jeova Sanctus Unus."

It's Latin for...

One true God.

The pyramid and capstone come together to form a map.

I'm not saying anything else until I see Peter.

Peter!

Are you okay?

Now tell me...

where has the map pointed you?

It's not that simple.

There are parts of this myth that require greater context.

Oh.

Well, please...

enlighten me, Professor.

(panting): As you know...

...the legend says that the Freemasons

brought the ancient wisdom from the Old World to the New.

But if one goes back further, then it was the Knights Templar

who originally discovered it.

And it is from them

that we get this very specific

protective mechanism, this portal...

I got eyes on Peter.

-So, keeping all that in mind... -There's one man with him.

LANGDON: ...according to the myth,

the pyramid will lead us to a large stone

covering the entrance to a spiral staircase

that descends several hundred feet into the ground.

MAL'AKH: I know the myth.

What else?

You have to understand,

this staircase...

doesn't exist.

Perhaps, not surprisingly, it's a metaphor.

A-a spiral symbolically represents a unity

of the mental, physical and spiritual self

in an expansion of consciousness.

MAL'AKH: I'm losing my patience, Professor.

It wasn't until I saw the, the capstone

and I read the inscription

that I was able to narrow down the location.

"The secret hides within the Order."

Not the Masonic Order, per se...

We go now.

You take Bastin. I'll cover Mal'akh.

...but the Order of the Eastern Star.

(sighs)

And the Order of the Eastern Star

is headquartered here in D.C.,

the Perry Belmont House on...

on C Street.

The Belmont House.

It was finished in 1906, but the plot of land

over which the house was built had remained undeveloped

for decades because of a very large,

very problematic stone right in the center of the property.

Mal'akh!

This is over.

Drop your weapon.

Give the bag to Langdon.

Come with me, sir.

What's the final stage?

"Peter Solomon is the instrument of the final stage."

What does it mean?

MAN: Freeze! Right now!

-Hands on your head! -Hands on your head!

-(grunts) -(gunshot)

-MAN: Left, go left. -(engine starts)

Don't shoot!

-(tires squealing) -Go, go, go, go.

-Let him go. Let him go! -Stop!

(tires screech)

(grunts)

(tires squealing)

Hold your fire!

What happened?

Where's my dad?

Katherine...

(Katherine crying)

What happened?

They're gone.

Gone?

Wait, wait.

Robert? Robert?

Robert!

What happened?

No.

How did this happen?

Who are all these people?

There wasn't supposed to be anyone else.

They're ours. And, no,

they weren't supposed to be here.

But somehow they knew.

You think this was me?

You seemed real eager to tell Blake.

Then his guys show up.

What am I supposed to think?

(gasps)

MAL'AKH: No more lies.

This is your last chance.

You are now free of distraction.

In isolation we find things in ourselves.

Buried things.

Here you will solve the great mystery.

If you don't,

you will watch Peter die.

And then you will die.

Publish or perish, Professor.

(breathing heavily)
