Relic Hunter
306 Star of Nadir

The thief of
baghdad!

He has stolen the
star of nadir!

(nigel:)is that you
and queen talib?

(sydney:)yeah, on a
dig here 10 years ago.

She wasn't known
as talib back then.

Her maiden name
was danielle west

Wild west.

She knew more
about relic hunting

In her little
finger.

I have a feeling
that you two searching

For the star is going
to be quite the reunion.

We shouldn't be
stopping out here.

Sorry.

I can't make out
what they're saying.

They're looking
for someone.

(man:)stop that
man.

[gun shot]

That was close.

Sydney, he gave
that man a gun.

(ticket-man:)passports.

(ticket-man:)passports.

Passports.

Huh?

Our papers are
in order.

We're here to
see the queen.

I've always wanted
to say that.

Then your visit
will be brief.

Why?

You haven't heard?

Queen talib is
dead.

(sydney:)I just can't
believe danielle is dead.

She didn't give
you any indication

That her life may
have been in jeopardy?

She said, "we've
got competition,

Get here as soon
as you can."

I'm just kicking myself
I didn't ask more.

(sydney:)there's
the sultan.

(sultan:)sydney, if only the
circumstances were different.

Your highness.

Hold it.

No way to treat
an old friend.

My associate,
nigel bailey.

Your highness.

Mr. Bailey.

What happened?

I spoke to her
only two days ago.

Listen, why don't I
go to the rooms and...

Well if that's
alright with you...

Please.

Your highness.

Come, sydney.

Danielle was in
a remote village

Teaching children
how to read.

She couldn't have
any of her own,

So teaching them was
what she loved most.

I know she did.

And then on her
way back,

Her jeep went out
of control.

It was an
accident.

It was late,
she was alone,

She must have fallen
asleep at the wheel.

There was no one
to see it happen.

The number of
times, sydney,

I begged her

Begged

For her to take a
driver on those trips,

But...

That wasn't
danielle.

I'd like to stay
for the funeral.

Of course, yes.

It will be after
three days.

Janeeza, as is
our custom.

You'll have to
excuse me, sydney,

Endostand has been
dealt a terrible blow.

Danielle's death
has thrown

The entire country
into turmoil.

I can imagine.

No, you can't.

There are even
wild rumours flying

That her death was an
attack against my government.

Was it?

We have traditionalists.

They are opposed to
my social reforms.

He's even called for
a holy war, a jihad,

To return endostand
to its former ways.

Sharum.

Sharum will take you
to your rooms.

Hello?

Hello?

Hello.

(nigel:)it's alright,
I won't bite.

(guard:)mr. Bailey?

Yes.

I heard voices.

Oh.

Excuse me,
I am omar,

The sultan's chief
of security.

It's just me talking
to my...Self.

I do it a lot,
confuses everybody.

He's gone.

Where is
sydney fox?

She's out. Can
I help?

I have something
for her.

Well, you can leave
it with me.

No. I will come
back.

Please do not tell
anyone I was here.

I... Wait.

You alright?

Yeah, I had to
see this place.

Seems other people
felt the same way.

I just wish we knew
more about what happened.

What did the
sultan say?

It was an accident.

And you're thinking

Danielle's death

And her search for the
star are connected?

It would help
if we knew

Who her competition
were.

Probably the usual
suspects:

Rival relic hunters,
thieves...

One of the sultan's
political enemies.

There may be a
clue in whatever

It was danielle
wanted to show you.

I'll talk to
the sultan

As soon as we
get back.

What?

I don't know.

Fire.

(nigel:)syd.

That's odd.

(nigel:)what?

According to
the sultan,

All that's up this
road is remote villages.

In the mood for
a drive?

After we take a look
at danielle's research.

It has been
settled.

Father, please...

The time for
discussion is past.

Am I to have no
say in this?

Danielle would
have had one.

Danielle was a
woman

Who stood by her
commitments.

I expect no less
from you.

Tomorrow night,

You will be present

At the announcement
of your engagement.

I expect behaviour
befitting a princess.

Perhaps you expect
too much, father.

Sydney, who's
that girl?

(sydney:)that's the
sultan's daughter, alia.

(nigel:)that's the girl who
snuck into our rooms earlier.

You sure?

Yeah.

Nigel.

That's the man
from the train.

Highness, duck!

Get up.

I got him!

We will take
over from here.

I had him.

You shot him
in the back.

I don't recognize
him.

He is not one
of ours.

Well, instead of a
talkative witness,

You've got a
dead assassin.

(nigel:)I'm no
security expert,

But I'd have wanted
him alive.

Guards, let us find
out how this man

Got onto the
palace grounds.

Your highness...

Let omar take
care of it.

(sultan:)I am
surrounded by men

Whose duty it is
to protect me

And it is you that
saved my life.

Maybe that is why
danielle called you here.

I am indebted
to you both.

Thank you.

Danielle didn't
tell you?

She was looking for
the star of nadir.

(sultan:)no, danielle
gave up relic-hunting.

That's why she
called us here.

So that we could find
the relic for her,

So that she wouldn't have
to break her vow to you.

(sultan:)did she tell you
where it could be found?

(sydney:)well she hadn't shared
that information with us yet,

But I was hoping
that I could

Maybe take a look
at her research.

I knew my wife,
sydney,

There is no research
to find.

It may sound
crazy,

But I think
it'll tell us

Why she was out
on that road

The night that
she died.

She was returning
from teaching children.

I think she may not
have told you everything

That she was doing
out in the desert.

I think she was out there
looking for the star.

No, she wasn't,

Because it
doesn't exist

And you merely
mentioning it

Is enough to fuel
the wild speculation

Surrounding her
death.

Yes, but what if
danielle was right?

What if she found
a clue

Leading her to
the star?

I could pick up
where she left off.

(sydney:)now you and I
both know that the star

Is the supreme
symbol for

The talib clan's claim
to rule endostand.

With this in
your hands,

No one would dare
challenge you.

And all this talk about
a jihad would be over.

(nigel:)your highness,
isn't it possible

These could be
the reasons

That danielle could be
looking for the star?

No! Because it
doesn't exist.

And it has nothing to
do with danielle's death.

(sydney:)I've never
seen you like this.

Is there something
that you're afraid of?

Something that
you know?

Something you
suspect?

No.

But if hakim mustafa
was to hear

That you are looking
for the star...

Hakim mustafa?

The leader of
the taladen.

Alia is to marry
his son, jamaal.

It has been arranged.

The taladen are your
mortal enemies.

I have no son,
sydney,

To assume the
throne.

(sultan:)the only way to prevent
a civil war of succession

That will tear this
country apart

Is for alia to marry
jamaal mustafa.

Danielle would
never have...

Allah akbar,
kalifa talib.

God be with you,
king mustafa.

May I present
sydney fox

And her associate
nigel bailey

This is my son,
jamaal mustafa.

Ah.

(hakim:)I heard what
happened earlier.

How fortunate the
assassin failed.

Fortunate for me.

This attempt
is proof

You have enemies
willing to risk death

To bring endostand
back to its former self.

Its former ways.

Then it is important
that I remain strong.

Through the union
of our families.

So it shall be.

I can't stay here
a minute longer.

Would you excuse
us, your highness?

Yes.

Ooh, sorry.

(soldier:)out
of my way.

(nigel:)why?

Because the taladen
practice a religion

That basically
institutionalizes

The physical abuse
of females.

Some would say
that's merely

Their culture
according to holy law.

Based on an
interpretation

By a few men of
a holy book

That's meant to bring
goodness to men and women.

(nigel:)alright,
I admit

It's insanely brutal
and vicious,

But it's still
your rule.

Never get involved
in politics

I just broke it.

Now my gut is telling
me that danielle

Was close to
finding that star.

She needed us to go
and recover it,

But where?

(alia:)I can
tell you.

The ruins at
azir.

Alia.

I'm so glad
you've come.

I'm sorry for running
away from you earlier,

You startled me.

You startled me.

(alia:)I didn't want
anyone to know

I was coming to
see sydney.

My stepmother
gave this to me

In case anything
happened.

She said you'd know
what to do with it.

She knew.

Did she die because
of the star?

It's looking
that way.

It appears to have
been written

By the thief of baghdad
himself, in 1445.

It's like a will,

It's a list of
everything he stole,

Including the star.

Can authenticate it?

Well he signed it with
his signature mark,

Two swords crossed.

Danielle was trying
to save me

From my marriage to
jamaal mustafa, wasn't she?

I'm not sure.

But knowing your
stepmother,

She would never
have agreed to this.

(nigel:)what you've
done by coming here,

It was very brave.

I tried to tell my
father about the star,

But he is too afraid
to let me look for it.

Afraid of hakim
mustafa?

He threatened
a jihad,

To return endostand
to its old ways

Unless I marry
his son,

So the families
will share power.

That's disgusting.

You know, it's not
too late for us to try

And get you out
of here.

I would never willingly
marry a taladen.

But I love my
father,

And I love my
people.

Then what do you say
we find that star

And put the power
back in your hands?

Can we do that?

Well with the star,

Your father would
have no need

Of an alliance
with mustafa,

And you won't have
to marry his son.

Yes.

You said danielle was looking
at the ruins near azir?

Then that's where
we'll start.

When do we
leave?

We?

You're not going
anywhere.

You're going to save my
life but leave me here.

Meet me by the south
gate after dark.

Tomorrow my
attendants

Can say I'm sleeping
the day away.

Like a princess.

You really think hakim
mustafa would call for jihad?

I did not see
you at prayers.

Don't worry,
hakim,

I tend to my
own prayers.

Sit?

Perhaps not
well enough.

Your daughter
left the palace

With the female relic
hunter and her associate.

I'm sure you're mistaken.
Omar, fetch alia.

Perhaps you're
right.

My daughter knows
her duty, hakim.

I am told this the
same woman adventurer

Who was a friend
to your late wife.

Say what you're
about to say next

With great care,
hakim.

Only that rumours
are flying.

That they are searching
for the star of nadir.

A rumour that,
if true,

Will trigger
a jihad

And see our
beloved country

In flames before
nightfall.

We are fortunate
my son values

The stability this
allegiance will bring

And knows his solemn
duty to his people.

Is that not true,
jamaal?

Yes, father.

Your highness,
she's gone.

And so is her
vehicle.

Her attendants were
covering for her absence.

Rest assured that
she will return

Safely.

I will pray for
our nation's future

And for yours,
you are right.

Jamaal, we'll go
and make certain.

Omar.

Alia is your
responsibility.

Yes, your highness.

How could he know

Before you that
she was gone?

Shall I find out,
your highness?

Why would my father's men
be guarding the ruins?

If they are your
father's men.

Looks like word's out
on our relic's location.

(nigel:)the thief's will
is cryptic in places.

Obviously intended
to be read

By one of the members
of his inner circle

Someone who knew his
shorthand, so to speak.

While it doesn't mention
azir specifically,

It does say this about
the star of nadir:

"ride due north from
the palace of the talibs

Until your horse
gets winded two-fold.

Look for the star
within the stars.

Two-fold.
What's that,

About thirty,
forty miles?

40 would put us
here in azir.

(nigel:)it was a
thriving oasis

Back in the days of
the thief of baghdad,

Unfortunately it was
also rather large.

I mean, searching these
ruins would take months.

Sydney, the ruins
of al baraq mosque

Are here in azir.

Al baraq means
"stars among stars"

"look for the star
within the stars"

The thief had a
sense of humour.

Well we know
from sources

Tales of the
arabian nights

That the thief was a
notorious prankster.

(sydney:)he stole the
jewel in broad daylight

From under the
sultan's nose.

Wouldn't it be
just like him

To hide the sultan's
most precious relic

In one of the
sultan's mosques?

The al baraq would
have been the largest,

Most central building
at the time.

Those steps leading
up to the flat surface

Remains of the
foundation?

Let's check it out.

What about
the guards?

You read
my mind.

Alia, why don't
you stay here

Until one of us gives the al
l- clear signal.

And what will
we be doing?

As if I already
didn't know.

Three guesses.

Actually four.

Hi.

Alia, do something.

[honking]

Are you
alright?

Yeah, thanks.

What were you
planning for an encore?

That was about as far
as I thought it through.

Thanks but next
time...

Stay put. Got it.

We better tie the rest
of these guys up.

(alia:)what exactly
are we looking for?

(sydney:)I'm
not sure.

The thief's will said
to look for a star

Within the stars.

Sydney.

I think I've found
something.

What are you thinking,
a foundation stone?

(nigel:)it looks
local,

It was probably
quarried nearby.

These markings
are old.

Yeah. Much older than
the rest of the ruins.

[together]stars.

That's the ancient clan
symbol of the talibs.

Another star
within stars.

There's a stone
floor down below.

Okay, I got you.

This must be part
of the foundation

Of some much older
structure that survived.

(sydney:)nigel.

(nigel:)the thief's
mark.

It's an inscription
of some sort.

801 a.H. An
islamic year.

(nigel:)the earliest date
for an islamic calender

For which a julian
calender date

Is exactly known
is 10 a.H.,

Which is 632 a.D.

So if you do
the math...

801 a.H. Becomes...

1423 a.D.

The year of
the theft.

Did the thief
do that?

That's odd.

Yes, the hilts
of the swords

Are crossed at the top
as opposed to the bottom.

Think if we
inverted it,

It might activate
a trigger?

And it is the
thief's signature.

(sydney:)hold this.

[rumbling]

The star
of nadir.

It's beautiful.

[rumbling]

Come on, we better
get out of here

Before this place comes
down around our ears.

Oh gosh, nigel,

You know we really
should come back

And document this...

Step out of there.

(sydney:)omar,
what a pleasure.

Your weapon,
please.

Jamaal?

You've never
even met him?

No.

What's this
all about?

I have come to take
you back to the palace.

Return with me.

No, we have found...

Alia.

(jamaal:)you
have no choice.

Neither
of us do.

You have brought shame
on your family, alia.

Put on your veil.

Not in this
century, omar.

(omar:)obey your
future husband

And do your duty.

You disobedient,
little...

She has turned her back
on her family, jamaal.

Let her suffer
the result.

Enough.

This can't be
avoided.

You know what
is at stake.

I cannot...

Betray my father.

Why don't you take

Those men back
with you, alia.

Come with me back
to the palace.

Who are these
soldiers, omar,

That ignore a princess
of endostand?

(omar:)I'll have
them escort miss fox

And mr. Bailey
safely to the palace

In the range
rover.

Two of you,
go on ahead.

Will you be
alright, sydney?

Go on.

We'll be fine.
Won't we?

(soldier:)we searched
down below, omar,

There's no sign
of the star.

(jamaal:)omar, we've
got what we came for.

Not quite.

Where is the
star, ms. Fox?

I don't know what
you're talking about.

Have it your way.

Both of you,
back down there.

What's happening?

You don't know?

(sydney:)fine, but all
we found down there

Were some rags that
belonged to a thief.

You think that
I am a fool?

No. No, no, no. A
fool? You? No, no?

Look, the return
of endostand

And its rightful
heritage,

It cannot be stopped.

Let me guess, I
give you the star

And then neither it
nor us makes it back

To the palace.

Give me the star,
spare your life.

Okay.

Alright, I hate
using guns,

But I'll make an
exception in your case.

Put 'em down.

Put your guns down
or I shoot him.

Do it!

Move. Move. Get
in the car.

(sydney:)what's
this, omar,

Some kind of
remote?

You military guys
love that crap.

Is that why you wanted us
to take the range rover?

A little something
added

To help take it
off the road?

Just like you did
with danielle's car!

Son of a...

What's this?

I heard your daughter
was found in azir,

With this western
treasure-seeker.

As you can see,

She has returned
willingly, hakim.

Good. Complete
obedience.

That is what a man
requires from his wife.

You will learn
to manage her.

I doubt anyone will
ever do that, father.

Silence!

You will do as
you are told.

Not by you.

You can learn a lot
from your son, hakim.

Jamaal, come here.

(sultan:)about loyalty
and honour.

I believe this is
the rightful property

Of the sultan of
endostand.

Back where it belongs
after 600 years.

It cannot be real.

The star was lost to your
family for generations.

You need me

And this alliance.

Not once omar makes
a full confession

That implicates you.

(nigel:)just before
heading off to jail.

(jamaal:)father, the
sultan rules endostand.

There will be no
jihad

And there will be
no marriage,

Unless alia and
I wish it.

(sydney:)sorry about
your jihad, hakim.

(sultan:)have you ever
met a western woman

With a passion, hakim?

They tend to perform
miracles.

Your highness.

Your highness.

Thank you.

Thank danielle.

[fax ringing]

(karen:)you think?

Okay, thanks, ahmed,
I'll let you know.

The museum in
endostand says

They're extending
an open invitation,

All expenses paid,

If you'll set up the
star of nadir exhibit.

Dry climate, all
expenses

I'd be there in
a heartbeat.

Tell them I'd
be delighted.

Maybe I can
get ahmed

To spring for
another ticket.

Uh huh.

It's from
alia. Nigel.

Alia's sending us all
of danielle's research.

That's great,
because something's

Been bothering me about
the thief of baghdad's will

That the rest of her
research might help clear up.

Oh?

Well the writer's
supposedly

The man himself.

He's having trouble
with his pronouns.

He keeps referring
to himself

In the female gender.

That's curious.

Yeah.

Unless the thief
wasn't a he but a she.

I wonder.

(sydney:)I suppose
anything's possible.
