The first 200 lines.
Previously on Blood & Treasure...
We've known all along
that Farouk was planning to use Antony and Cleopatra
somehow in an attack.
His crew is still out there,
and they have a bioweapon.
Go ahead, Simon.
Antony and Cleopatra are being held in a vault
in the Bank Saint-Laurent in Paris.
We're building a replica
of the tomb in a brand-new wing
in my museum in Egypt.
What better way to unveil her to the world.
Jay, did you know that you were Karim Farouk's father?
I've known for years.
I don't care that you fathered someone
who became a terrorist.
You couldn't help what he would become.
That's not how the world would see it, Ana.
Everything I've ever worked for would be destroyed forever.
Maybe you're the last person
who has to die in the name of
Karim Farouk.
_
I blame myself.
Farouk or d...
Somebody who worked for him...
Must have intended the poison for me.
Unfortunately for Ana, they put it
in the wine and not the bourbon.
Jay, you need to put the unveiling
of Antony and Cleopatra on hold
until Farouk's crew is finally caught.
I agree. I've already given the order.
So the poison was in the wine?
Why? What are you thinking?
Farouk poisoned two other people.
But the other two instances were a contact poison.
Easier to target, less chance of a mistake like this.
Why change it up now?
Hey, guys, I got to talk to you about...
What are you doing?
Dr. Castillo...
She's dead.
How?
Supposedly, poisoned wine.
They think Farouk's crew is behind it.
What do you mean "supposedly"?
I have my doubts, but until we know more,
we need to be careful.
Danny, I actually do know more.
I talked to a friend of mine who's an imam in Egypt.
He sent me a document from Zara Farouk's mosque.
It's from a baby's Sebou.
Egyptian birth custom, like a baby shower
seven days after the child is born.
What did it say?
It listed the name of the baby's father.
Jacob Reece.
Oh, my God.
What-what-what does this have to do with Castillo?
Castillo signed for the package. She opened it.
She found out Reece's secret and went right to him.
Gwen.
Danny, I'm sending you and Lexi something.
Hold on. Let me put you on speaker.
So, I went through Ghazal's hard drive
and I found a number of e-mails
from a private account to Ghazal,
from Yates, Reece's head of security.
And they're not explicit, but it's pretty clear
that they are referring to Farouk.
How is that clear?
Well, they're using chess terms.
Look at the first one, from the first day
of the Farouk operation,
when you were still working the case.
"In current game, my king is going to be captured.
"How should I proceed?"
Yates...
"Use the bishop to block."
Ghazal is the bishop and Farouk is the king.
Ghazal's next e-mail: "King escaped capture.
"Good advice."
When we were trailing Farouk, and he veered off
towards the border to avoid getting captured...
Ghazal warned him off.
Ghazal was Reece's mole.
Not Farouk's.
Going through Ghazal's finances,
it seems like he received a pretty
hefty payment the next day.
And the bank that issued it,
it's the same bank that issued the check to Zara Farouk.
Reece wanted him killed.
But it was a capture mission.
He couldn't risk Farouk talking.
That bastard.
He was willing to keep a terrorist on the loose
rather than take the chance of his secret being exposed.
Wait, when we tracked
Farouk to the free port in Geneva,
Reece gave me specific instructions to alert
only him when we found Farouk, and he'd handle it.
It was never about saving Castillo.
He's been using me since day one.
And then he murdered Castillo to keep his secret.
- Danny! - Is everyone okay?
I'll go talk to him.
Lexi, wait.
I found something else in Ghazal's e-mails.
Great, just what he needs.
It actually concerns you as well.
Thought I broke it.
Here.
There's something else,
but before I tell you, I need you to promise me
you won't throw yourself off this ledge.
How much worse can it get?
Do you remember, two years ago,
after Farouk went on the run,
and all the antiquities he looted
were taken by the Americans?
My father was then brought in to
help inventory everything. Well...
Apparently he found a box of paperwork
amongst Farouk's things...
Including an official birth certificate
listing Reece as the father.
- What? - My father called Ghazal to make sure
it was all authentic. Ghazal told him he would handle it.
Took all the paperwork and swore him to secrecy.
That's what was in the office safe,
in the file I stole for Fabi.
Ghazal kept it as leverage on Reece.
And told Reece he destroyed it.
Reece had your father killed.
He made it look like Farouk did it.
Just like he did with Castillo.
Hmm.
We've really come a long way.
How's that?
I almost broke my hand punching a wall...
And you just found out Reece murdered your father, and...
Your first instinct was to come up here...
Not race out there and put a bullet in him.
Well... it was my first instinct.
But now I've got a Danny in my head,
so here I am trying to figure out...
What to do.
I am so sorry, Lexi.
I promise you we're gonna get justice for your father.
Danny... everybody who knows Reece's secret is dead
except us, and we can't prove a thing.
Maybe, maybe not.
The file Fabi was working on was destroyed.
But if he shared his investigation
with the Brotherhood, they might have everything
we need to take down Reece.
Okay... I'll check in with Alina and the Brotherhood.
She's always been straight with me.
You have a lot of nerve calling.
I'm sure it was you that robbed the bank
and gave Antony and Cleopatra to the authorities.
Well, we'll call it even for the Brotherhood
leaving us stranded on an island in the Caribbean.
I admit, it was a bold move.
But part of me wishes you were still on our side,
helping us stop Farouk's crew.
Wait... where are you?
Outside Tanis, Egypt.
One of Farouk's men popped up
on our radar renting a truck.
Our operatives followed that truck to a small port,
where it was loaded with suspicious-looking crates.
We believe those crates contain
the biotoxin, and that they're
probably targeting the unveiling
of Antony and Cleopatra, which means
hundreds of people are at risk.
They're coming.
I've got to go. I will catch up with you later.
Wait! Al...
Travelers have been urged to avoid the area of Tanis,
targeted by a thwarted terrorist bombing this afternoon.
At least 20 people were killed in
the ensuing firefight and explosion.
This comes at a time when the country's
- vital tourism industry... - Gwen. What'd you find?
A lot of bodies with Serapis medallions.
There are no survivors.
... more than three years
- after two deadly terror attacks... - I'm sorry, Lexi.
The toxin's been destroyed, and the Egyptians believe
that this is the last of Farouk's men.
The threat of the Farouk attack is over.
A state of emergency
has been in effect in Egypt since...
They gave their lives to stop it.
Gwen.
