Dan Brown's The Lost Symbol

-Is everything okay? -The less you know, the better.

Previously on "The Lost Symbol..."

Three years ago, Zachary Solomon

-was beaten to death. -So, what's the connection?

That's what you're going to Turkey to find out.

I was there with him in the end.

Mal'akh made it very clear that he wants me

doing this on my own.

-To the mind-body connection. -Cheers.

Sojani, how's Turkey?

Great coffee.

And, I'm gonna be sending you something shortly.

It's about the guy that killed Zachary Solomon.

She was just here.

She came here to help me, and the last thing

-I ever did was lie to her. -No.

-I should have listened to you. -Kat...

Why couldn't I just listen to...?

We couldn't have known he'd do something like this.

We did know! He warned us.

God, what was I thinking?

You were thinking about your father.

My father.

We don't even know if he's still alive.

He's alive.

I want to believe that, I do.

But... but if he's not, then Trish died for nothing,

and all we're doing is putting more people in danger.

I have to know if he's alive.

The only way to know for sure,

is for us to find the capstone and give Mal'akh what he wants.

Not us.

You.

-I'm not leaving you. -You have to do this alone,

you have to do what he wants.

Find the clues, and hope that in the end,

you're right, and this ancient wisdom is just some myth.

-Of course it is. -You saw what was on that film.

I don't know what I saw.

A natural phenomenon, a trick of editing...

Dad would always cite these historical anomalies:

how did the ancient Egyptians

move hundred-ton stones and build pyramids?

How did the pre-Columbian tribes cut solid granite

with more precision than a modern laser?

He thought that it could be explained by some kind of power

that we've forgotten. What if he was right?

What if that power reemerged in the hands of someone truly evil?

I'm not going to be there to remind you,

but if your mind isn't open, you are limiting

what you can perceive, and understand.

Like, answers from the universe?

We need all the help we can get.

Kat.

You can't go back to the house.

Sato probably has people watching it.

I'm counting on it.

So, this dude made them kill themselves.

-A whole flock of birds? -No, that would be impossible.

So, what then? Mass suicide? I mean, can birds even do that?

It's got to be some kind of trick photography.

If I can just find the edits...

Does this mean anything to you?

Looks like a Triskelion.

Why?

Where he left Trish, he drew that.

It represents different things to different cultures.

Celtics, pagans, Freemasons.

Most often it represents a-a cycle:

birth, death, rebirth.

Uh-oh. You got that look.

Film companies use shape sequences as edge code

to indicate different things like date or production number.

Squares, triangles, X's, crosses, but they didn't

start using three-shape sequences until the '80s.

This circle shouldn't be here.

Um...

That a scanner?

Okay, here we are.

Boom, got that...

Microdots were used as early as World War I

in tiny notes sent by carrier pigeon.

They could hide information in something

as small as a punctuation mark.

Huh.

-There it is. -What the...?

"An architect with 46,

builds a bridge of weightless bricks."

It's a riddle.

That's incredible.

Sojani found a former guard from Ag Gecidi prison,

now runs a coffee shop in Istanbul.

-He gave her this. -What am I looking at?

Zachary Solomon, three years ago at the prison.

And this is one of the only known photos

of a prisoner who went by the name of Samyaza.

Look familiar?

Intel points to him as Zachary's likely killer.

Which means, he left this...

which should look familiar.

And when you consider that, this guy?

Starts to look a lot like...

-...this guy. -No way.

You think he came 5,000 miles to finish off the family?

Never underestimate a man with a God complex.

Hey, coast is clear out front.

-You got it? -I think so.

"An architect with 46,

"builds a bridge of weightless bricks.

"In Etam waits a stone once hewn,

"returned at last to mother's womb.

"Lastly, heed the Starling's call,

for all who seek must also fall."

Yeah, I'm more of a sudoku guy.

I'm not sure if I know what it means either.

-The word "stone" is pretty clear. -Right.

Wh-Where's Etam?

It's interesting-- in the 9th century BC,

it was a city located in the Kingdom of Judah.

In present day, I'd put it somewhere south of Bethlehem?

See, I was thinking I'd come with you

on this capstone mission,

but Israel might be a little far for me.

Yeah, I appreciate the offer,

but I think it's best if I go it alone.

Hold up. You might need protection.

And who's going to protect you? And your wife?

Zoe went to stay at her cousin's, so...

Oh.

Um, I think I got to do this on my own.

Okay. All right, hold on, hold on.

Wait, wait, wait, wait.

Any sign of trouble,

make sure you get to a phone and you call me.

-Thank you. -Yeah?

-Yeah. -All right.

Oh...

Oh, all right.

-Yeah. -Come on. I'll let you out the back.

What do you mean you don't know what it is?

You know everything.

Well, that's the problem

when knowledge gets lost to history.

But people have theories about henges, okay?

Some people think that a henge was an ancient burial site.

Other people say that ancient astronomers

would use a henge as a sundial-- you know sundials?

And they'd use it to worship a solar deity, a sun god.

I don't get why Zach and Mommy didn't want to see this.

Well, sweetie, not everyone's as curious as you are.

Always keep that.

You make me curious; you're my own little sundial.

Where are you, Dad?

Hi, Katherine.

I'm Inoue Sato.

Can I have a few moments alone in my father's house?

Do you think that's such a good idea,

considering everything that's happened?

You and Robert have been through a lot.

I can't imagine what a shock this has all been.

Your father, now your research assistant.

-If there's anything I can do... -I just want my dad back.

-Me, too. -Really?

Because, as far as I can tell, you've been spending

all your time chasing us.

I'm trying to protect you.

Roosevelt was once shot in the chest

right before giving a speech.

Didn't faze him, though.

And he went on to give an iconic performance.

They should have tried poisonous gas.

Something happen?

Son, I've been locked up in a CIA bed-and-breakfast

for the last 48 hours.

Seems they're after the portal as well.

Look, you called me here. Why?

I decoded the Hebrew from the Bible page.

It led us to Oaken Hill Cemetery.

Guy showed up, tried to gas us; I thought it might be one of

your Leviathan friends.

Well, there are members within the group that, uh,

will go to extremes to protect the secret.

How's Katherine? Is she all right?

Not really. A woman she works with

was killed last night, body was left

at the Adams Memorial as a warning to us.

I heard about that.

I had no idea there was a connection.

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.

How can I help?

We found a film.

There was a riddle hidden in the edge code, a clue:

"An architect with 46."

The "S" of the six written as a dollar sign.

Forty-six...

-That mean something to you? -Well, if I were to guess,

I'd say that was in reference to the architect
