Dan Brown's The Lost Symbol

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.

Then I got a new job: 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.
