Original subtitles

Peter will point the way.

Previously on "The Lost Symbol"...

He's got Peter.

CIA? I thought the Bureau handled kidnappings.

So, this hand belonged to Peter Solomon.

Peter was my mentor.

Solomon's kid worked for us?

Briefly. Three years ago.

He was beaten to death. In Ankara.

The capstone could complete the message.

Mal'akh needs you to find the portal.

We have more work to do, Robert.

Your fate is in Robert's hands now.

If I'm gonna help your dad, I got to go.

I'm coming with you.

-What is that? -Gilded edges,

Hebrew... Probably a religious text.

-Ah, my Hebrew's a little rusty. -Okay, I have an app.

Right. 'Cause you never Google.

-I didn't say anything. -Yeah, I know your looks.

I work on the Global Consciousness Project

with scientists from all over.

This has saved me more than once.

First Kings, chapter three. Old Testament.

First Kings, chapter three. Uh, the Judgement of Solomon.

Huh.

Langdon...

What? Who sent this?

"Pass the wayfarer.

Find the wolf."

What?

We should go.

-Katherine. Your phone. -What? Oh.

Pass the wayfarer...

What are you doing?

Find the wolf.

There's a hatch here.

* *

There's a bolt to the left.

Slide it over.

- Warren?

It's good to see you, Katherine.

Sorry it's under these circumstances.

-Phones? -We left them.

-Good. -Does someone want to tell me what's going on?

We can talk on the way.

* *

Where'd you lose him?

Tunnel, on the way to the platform.

I don't know. He was there, then he wasn't.

And Solomon's daughter was with him.

Katherine?

We'll keep looking,

check the cameras, comb the tracks.

-They've got to be close. -Boss is here.

Keep me posted.

We're saying disgruntled employee.

Workplace shooting.

- Apolitical. - It's my fault.

I left him exposed.

You did your job.

What about the shooter?

The janitor is Nicholas Bastin. 37.

Former Army medic. Honorable discharge 2015.

No criminal record. Politically ambivalent.

Six months ago, he goes off the grid.

-And the other one? -No hits. He's a ghost.

And in addition to leaving a severed hand

at the Capitol, he left two uniforms half-dead

in the park a mile away.

What if there's a connection?

To...?

Zachary Solomon died in a prison riot in Turkey.

And whoever killed him...

left this.

Triskelion. It's an important symbol

in Freemasonry.

Or maybe you're reading too much into this.

You're making it personal.

Maybe.

And the artifact you found in the Capitol basement?

The pyramid's gone. With Langdon.

And with it, many secrets.

We've heard of this portal.

And we are interested in it

and any information it might lead to.

But from where I'm sitting,

it looks like our best chance to find it has flown the coop.

We need Langdon.

What about Peter Solomon?

We can walk and chew gum.

But I would manage my expectations on that front.

Peter is in the Araf.

I'm sorry, what?

The borderland between Heaven and Hell.

Yeah, thank you. I know what the Araf is.

And whether he returns to your world

or moves on to the next

will depend on your actions.

He might already be dead.

That call was made from Solomon's phone.

You were monitoring him?

We monitor a great many people.

Find Langdon.

I've been friends with Peter for 30 years.

Freemason friend?

"The Wayfarer."

A painting by Bosch known for its Masonic references.

I'm sorry for all the cryptic texts,

but I was afraid your messages were being monitored.

Right.

So we're just supposed to follow you now?

-No questions. -I trust him.

He was like an uncle to me and Zach.

Which doesn't explain how he knew where to find us.

I used to be with the State Department.

Architect of the Capitol.

Which puts me in charge

of every building in the Capitol complex.

I know everything that goes on

in these buildings and under them.

We're under the Library of Congress now--

the old circulation room.

Huh.

-So that's the, uh... -The old conveyor system.

It ran books under the other two buildings.

Look, you'll be safe here.

Just lay low for a bit.

Lay low? How is that going to help Dad?

Just until we figure out our next steps.

May I see it?

I used the Mason cipher

to translate it, but...

It requires the capstone to be understood.

You know about the capstone.

Do you know where we can find it?

No.

Long ago, the Master Masons,

they hid the pyramid and the capstone

in two different locations.

No one person is allowed to know

the location of both pieces.

Dad kept this in his safe.

We think it might be a clue.

It's from First Kings. The Judgment of Solomon.

It's just your typical,

moderately disturbing Bible tale.

I don't know why he'd keep it in a safe.

- Neither do I. - There has to be

something about this beyond the story we all know.

Well, if there is, I don't know about it.

Rest.

I'll press my contacts to find out

if there's more information about your father.

Katherine...

I'm so sorry.

Extra phone?

It's not mine.

Back at the Capitol,

they had me in a room, under guard.

A man came in dressed like a janitor.

He shot the guards and gave me this.

Mal'akh.

That's what he called him.

The person who took Peter.

How many people are a part of this?

I don't know.

And the hand?

How do they know it was Dad's?

It was his ring.

Well, a ring can be switched.

The hand had been severed... recently.

That still doesn't prove it was his.

Y-You're right.

No, don't do that.

Don't humor me. I'm not going to break.

I-I don't know what I'm supposed to say.

That's not a surprise.

I'm sorry. I'm just trying to process all of this.

I just need him to be okay.

Me, too.

* *

* *

Trafficking?

What does that even mean?

Well, u-usually, it refers to, uh,

illegal trading, dealing narcotics...

In this case, a staggering amount of heroin

found in Zachary's apartment.

The question is, what are we going to do about it?

Um, Professor Sahin wrote a study

on the Turkish justice system for Human Rights Watch.

She might have a contact.

Maybe this is just what he needs.

To rot in a decrepit, Second World prison?

To not be rescued from his own mistakes.

He doesn't need your lessons right now.

He needs your love.

I gave him my love.

He rejected it.

You wanted him to be just like you.

To share in your obsession with all of this... trivia.

That's what he rejected.

But it doesn't mean that you get to stop being his father.

Excuse me.

You don't really think we should leave him there.

Robert, am I being unfair here?

You-you don't have to answer that.

I-I think you're just...

a father in a difficult situation,

and I... I get that.

Hey.

Hey. Hey.

Langdon, what are you doing?

Let go. He took the page.

I thought he was holding something back before.

He knows why it's important.

Is that true?

I took an oath to protect it.

Protect what?

The ancient wisdom.

Look, I understand

-your skepticism... -Do you? How generous.

But there are other things at play here.

I know these stories. And that is all that they are.

Take the myth of the Masonic pyramid,

built so high God could reach out and touch it.

And you're telling me that's what they're talking about?

Well, perhaps those stories

were deliberately exaggerated.

-To what end? -So that academics

like you would continue to believe

they're a myth.

So no one would search for them.

It's a piece of rock.

It's a map.

What was that?

Maybe we should continue this discussion upstairs.

There's a sect within the Masons.

Very small and very secret.

The Leviathan Group.

Our purpose is to make sure

that the ancient wisdom stays hidden,

until such time as the world is ready.

This is what Peter wants.

So h-he also took your oath.

You said the pyramid was a map. What does that mean?

It is said that, when brought together,

the pyramid and the capstone

will reveal the location of the portal.

And you think Peter would die to keep this secret?

You're entitled to your beliefs, as unhinged as they are,

but this is his life.

What is it, anyway, this secret wisdom?

Is it an... an equation?

An invocation?

No one knows.

No one living, at least.

Well, this is all very on-brand for Dad.

He'd always say that modern physics

was only starting to comprehend

what the ancients knew to be true.

He's why I do what I do.

He's very proud of your work.

The genetics of psychic ability,

collective consciousness...

A lot of people think it's crazy.

But for all my certainty that I'm right and they're wrong,

there is always a subtle voice in my head,

this doubt:

What if it's not real?

Don't you want to know if it's real?

I'm not sure I'm meant to know.

I saw the way you looked at that pyramid.

I know that look.

You may never get this chance again.

Help us find it.

The Hebrew...

It's code.

If that's true, then there has to be a way

to decipher it. A key.

Yes.

And Peter's the only one that has it.

That's how it goes.

One veil is lifted

only to reveal another.

He'd have it close.

Somewhere he can keep an eye on it.

Maybe even on him.

Override key for the safe in my lab.

I keep it on me at all times.

-Does Peter even wear jewelry? -Just one piece.

His ring.

You don't wear yours.

Only for functions.

-A lot of Masons do that. -Not my dad.

He always wears his. Always.

It's small. It doesn't mean it's not concealing information.

it's in the possession

of the Capitol Police.

I don't suppose these tunnels could sneak us

into their evidence room.

I can't help you with that.

I might know someone who can.

You know they make it out of pig bones, right?

Gelatin.

You a vegan?

Hell no. I eat animals.

The meat parts,

not the... other parts.

I could, uh... get you some applesauce.

Why all the baby food?

Doctor said the bullet didn't hit anything important.

Still, you're technically recovering from surgery.

Okay, I'll take the applesauce.

That was quick.

No, wait!

You awake, awake?

You awake?

I think so.

You have a visitor.

Hey.

How you feeling?

Pretty good, you know?

Doc says I could be out in a day or two.

How's your agent?

Oat Milk.

He didn't make it.

Damn. Sorry.

Can you tell me what he said?

The shooter. To Langdon.

I don't know.

It's all just...

It's okay. Don't force it.

Who is he? The janitor.

I mean, there's got to be...

video, facial recognition, fingerprints...

You get an ID yet?

Can't say.

Hey, it's me, remember?

The guy who stopped the giant wall

from turning us all into panini?

Dude came into my building.

That building.

You know what I'm saying?

Give me a name.

Right.

It's a need-to-know world.

Get some rest.

Someone's helping them.

And I still don't know how they got out of there.

We swept the station in every direction.

-What about down? -The tunnels?

There's no public access.

This isn't a public person.

Think they might've dropped this.

When you found Katherine in her father's house,

did you search her?

Mm-mm.

It's okay.

The Capitol Power Plant on 25th

should be able to tell us who has access to the tunnels.

I'll head over now.

Where you gonna be?

Peter Solomon's.

* *

Well done.

We'll be needing more sedative.

I'll go see my contact at the hospital.

Unless you need me looking after Solomon?

No, it's fine.

He isn't going anywhere.

* *

* *

I don't understand.

Was it political?

Was he some kind of insurrectionist, or what?

I don't know. They're trying to figure it out.

Look, for four years I went to sleep

afraid that you were gonna be blown up by an IED

or get your head chopped off.

We're supposed to be safe here.

Hey, hey. It's okay.

I'm safe now.

Sorry to interrupt.

-I need to borrow him for a CAT scan. -For what?

I don't need any more gamma rays warping my DNA.

I'm not trying to be Spider-Man over here.

The Hulk.

Gamma rays created the Hulk.

Okay.

I will see you later.

Go.

Where's Angela?

The usual nurse.

Oh. Went home sick.

Sorry, sir, this patient's extremely contagious.

Say what now?

I got shot. I'm not infectious.

Maybe you got the wrong patient.

We need your help.

Oh, hell no.

Just gonna take a quick look.

CIA. Busy day for you guys.

Your friend just left.

* *

I think I know where Katherine got that envelope.

-Is it important? -No idea.

Do you know if Blake sent anyone else

-over to Solomon's house today? -Not that I know of.

You think he's got someone shadowing you?

Wouldn't put it past him.

What'd you find at the plant?

So it services the Capitol and 22 other buildings.

There's five miles of tunnel down there.

And...

do we know who has access?

Engineers, service techs,

and three or four federal agents.

Is the Architect of the Capitol one of them?

His name's Warren Bellamy.

Yeah.

How'd you know that?

Get me his phone.

Get me everything.

* *

Are you crazy?

They're looking for you, man.

We wouldn't be here if we had any other options.

Who's "we," anyway?

I'm Katherine Solomon.

Peter's daughter.

Nice to meet you.

And-and I-I'm sorry.

-Thanks. -We don't have a lot of time.

-What do you need from me? -We need the ring.

From his hand.

The ring. That's evidence. It's in a locker downtown.

Could you call someone? Ask to get it released?

Sure, yeah, like takeout. Maybe get some egg rolls.

You'd have to have someone

go in and sign it out.

We'll have to make do without it.

Well, we don't have any other options.

What do you need it for, anyway?

There's this page from the Old Testament,

the story of Solomon.

We think it's encoded and that the ring could contain

some type of decryption key...

Yeah, okay, that's fine.

He goes on, doesn't he?

Look.

Sato came to see me earlier.

And you were right,

there's something she's hiding from us.

I can deal with secrets to a point,

but I passed that point when that guy started shooting.

Okay.

We'll need to head by the cleaners.

I got another uniform there.

Nice ride.

It belongs to a friend.

Yeah? What's he do?

Architect.

* *

Hey.

Here goes nothing.

If I'm not out in 20 minutes,

call the cops.

What are you going to tell your mom?

Nothing.

She's finally in a relatively stable place,

so I, um...

I can't tell her about this. Not yet.

I should check in at the lab.

And my phone is in a tip jar.

Just pretend it's the '70s.

-Pre-cellular. -Can it be the '80s?

The '80s...

Yeah. Great music.

By every cultural measure,

the '70s was the better decade.

The films alone...

What? The '80s had amazing movies.

"E.T.," "Back to the Future,"

-"Willow"... -Yeah.

I'm talking about grown-up films.

"Godfather," "Network," "Chinatown"...

"Raiders."

"Raiders." "Raiders," okay.

We had a few good months, right?

Before my family exploded

and we got caught in the blast radius?

Ten and a half.

You had a lot going on.

Does Dad ever talk to you about it?

About Zach?

No. You?

No.

I feel like he thinks

I blame him for what happened.

You know, it's hard.

Uh... I didn't know that was going on.

I'm sorry.

I just want to see him

so I can tell him it wasn't his fault.

The thought that I might not get the chance

to tell him that is...

Katherine.

You're gonna get the chance.

I promise.

I just need him to know that I love him.

It can't end with him the way it did with Zach.

* *

Boo.

Hi.

Special K.

Looking very civilized.

I'm surprised they even let you in.

Robert knew someone

who, uh, helped me pull some strings.

You're still with that twat?

What happened to your feet?

Well, I was having

some interpersonal issues in here,

and there was a rumor I might try to escape.

So the guards made sure I couldn't.

They can't do this to you.

Why?

Human rights?

You're in the wrong part of town, K.

We have to get you out of here.

-We? -Yes.

--You had your chance!

Dad could have gotten me out with one phone call.

Instead, I got a letter.

"I won't allow you to play victim

to circumstances you alone created."

Did you hear about that?

What am I saying?

You probably helped write it.

No. I didn't agree with him.

Oh, you disagreed.

How bold.

Really stood your ground, I bet.

I'm glad you came.

You can give him a message for me.

I'm not his son anymore.

This the one?

Yeah.

Great. I'm-a go lie down now.

* *

* *

* *

* *

What's this?

Hebrew Bible. Published 1814.

It's in three parts. The first part is the Torah.

300,000 letters unchanged in over 2,000 years.

The Jewish tradition of preserving text

is uncompromising.

If a scribe is found to have added, subtracted

or altered a letter, the whole manuscript

is invalidated and buried.

Hmm? Look.

Here.

This entire section-- the Hebrew has been changed.

So, what, the page is fake?

No, doctored.

To hide a message.

Look at it closely.

Can you see anything unusual about it?

Well, looks normal enough.

All the requisite markings are here:

the double-headed eagle, triangle, the...

Oh, wait a minute.

This is supposed to be a yod,

but it's a he.

What?

Yeah, this mark on it. A jeweler's mistake?

What does that look like to you?

Pi.

That is not a mistake, it's a cipher.

Pi.

3.1415926...

You memorized pi?

Part of it.

Did a competition in college once.

Got to the 417th character.

Only 417?

I got hungry.

Okay. So,

starting from there,

first number's three.

Circle the third character.

-Then one, circle the fourth. -Okay.

Four, circle the eighth. And so on.

Okay, so we have 14 letters that spell...

Let see.

Nothing. It's a jumble.

There must be another step.

One veil lifts to reveal another.

Do you recognize the number?

No.

H-Hello?

Oh, good, my text worked.

I always send unknown calls to voice mail, so...

Who is this?

Inoue Sato, with Central Intelligence.

I'm a friend. I was hoping to talk to Robert.

Uh, Robert...?

We don't have time, Mr. Bellamy.

Peter's in trouble.

I don't want anyone else getting hurt.

-Hello? -Langdon.

What do you think you're doing?

I'm trying to help Peter.

You're going to get yourself hurt.

Or Katherine.

I'm giving you a chance to come out on your own, or...

Robert?

Let's go.

You just hung up on the CIA.

They're, uh, outside.

Let's go.

Wait, wait, wait, wait.

Damn. Somebody's coming through the tunnels.

Is there any other way out?

What about this?

That's the old conveyor system.

I know. You said it goes to the other buildings, right?

The system hasn't been in use for years.

-But does it still work? -It's worth a shot.

You want us to go in there?

Robert, it'll be okay.

I'll go first.

* *

In case of emergency.

I'm sorry, but the library's closed.

Where are they?

You doing okay back there?

How much further?

It's not far. I can see the light.

I can't see anything, my eyes are closed.

Just try to relax and enjoy the ride.

Oh, no.

It's okay.

Oh, no.

It's okay.

You'll be okay.

Help me! I'm stuck!

Robert?

Help!

Robert.

Help!

Robert.

You're okay.

You're okay.

We're gonna crawl.

It's not that far.

- You can do this.

Okay?

* *

Hey, hey! Hey!

Hey! Hey, hey, hey! Hey, hey, hey!

Stop, hey!

Hey!

Stop.

Hey.

Hey!

Oh.

Oh, my God.

-Are you hurt? -No. I'm fine.

I'm good. I'm good.

Okay, um...

I'm gonna go check up ahead, make sure it's clear.

Yeah.

Hello?

I understand you've picked up

a fellow traveler.

I am doing what you wanted.

You were told to do it alone.

No, I can't have you distracted by emotions.

Cut her loose.

Or I'll have someone do it for you.

Oh, thank God.

Hello?

Can I use your phone, please?

I'm afraid not.

There's more to be done.

Where is he?

Peter is in the Araf.

The borderland between Heaven and Hell.

Whether he returns to your world

or moves on to the next

will depends on your actions.
