Dan Brown's The Lost Symbol

I want to locate someone.

You get me what I need, I'll get you your pyramid back.

And the capstone.

Previously on "The Lost Symbol..."

Three years ago, Zachary Solomon was

beaten to death in Turkey.

Intel points to this prisoner as Zachary's killer.

He left this.

-Did you know my brother? -He was smart.

Raw intellect can only get you so far.

Raw intellect can only get you so far.

-Stop! -Wait. No, it's Zachary.

Zachary.

The architecture of this building is inspired

by the tomb of King Mausolus

in Halicarnassus.

Which is a country now known as...

-Turkey. -Yes, indeed.

This room is a kaleidoscope of culture;

Egyptian, Hebraic,

astronomical, alchemical,

all accessible only to the 33rd degree.

How do you get to that? The 33rd degree.

Years of commitment and charitable works.

But why?

What's the point of it all?

Brotherhood.

Like minds in lockstep pursuit

of great wisdom.

Why do you need a brotherhood when you have a family?

You'll understand one day, Zachary,

when it's your turn to begin that climb.

Dad?

This is a list that I've put together of some specialists.

-They all come very highly... -I said I didn't want this.

You said you didn't want to talk to me, and that's fine.

I just--

You know, what's the harm in seeing someone?

Carl Jung said some wounds are unhealable.

Would you stay with him? I just need a minute.

-Yeah. -Thank you.

Jung also said, "We don't get wounded alone,

and we don't heal alone."

You told me that once.

I used to lecture to a lot of people

about things I thought were right.

You know, when Zachary was a young boy,

he used to make me

sit beside his bed every night

as he went to sleep, holding my hand.

You were a good father, Peter.

"If thy right hand offend thee, cut it off."

Mark, 9:43.

It's what he recited...

when he sawed it off.

The hand he used to hold.

How did my boy become that...

...monster?

We are preservationists...

sworn to guard what's best left undisturbed.

Men of our word.

But you've made a bargain you have yet to keep.

The pyramid and capstone.

I don't know what to tell you.

Mal'akh had them and took a header off a cliff.

Without him, your best bet is to start combing the Potomac.

And with him?

I told you, he's gone. Dead, maybe.

No.

Not dead.

From darkness to light.

The Leviathan membership includes connections

to a certain security contractor firm.

We've deployed those resources and brought him in.

Why?

I told you.

We want the artifacts.

But he isn't talking.

In fact, he said he'll talk only to you.

Go ahead.

He's sedated.

He'll behave.

Sato.

: Zachary.

Is that who you see?

Or who you wish you did?

You left him in prison.

A lost boy with a belief in nothing

but his own limitations.

Beaten...

within an inch of his life.

What he discovered...

in that inch...

was his true potential.

You American or Canadian, Zachary?

You got a lot of fans.

Half the prison, the guards.

I help keep things quiet here.

When something comes along making too much noise,

I silence it.

What does it mean to you?

It's an owl.

I don't know.

Seemed like a good idea at the time.

The owl is the harbinger.

A symbol of death, ruin

and transformation.

What you mark upon the body is an invocation of power...

or self-destruction.

Sorry, it's just I get, uh...

all of the symbolic,

quasi-spiritual bullshit I can handle from my father.

And what does he believe in?

Everything but me.

He's a Freemason.

It's the pursuit of knowledge,

ancient mysteries, untapped potential...

And a great wisdom that will reveal man's highest self.

I, too, believe this.

Well...

enjoy the Kool-Aid.

I like you, Zachary.

I think we were meant to meet.

But you are a noisy thing.

We have to get you out of here.

You had your chance!

Oh.

I wouldn't have even recognized him.

He's dressed in rags.

He's so thin.

Don't they feed him?

Of course they do.

Dad, you didn't see him.

He's broken.

Isabel...

Dad, we have to do something.

Yes.

I will speak to Warren

and see what the State Department can do

about securing his release.

That could mean months of red tape.

That is diplomacy. It takes time.

He may not have time.

Kat may have another solution.

I may know someone with a contact at the Justice Ministry.

Money will move this faster than the State Department.

Absolutely not.

Bribery is reckless.

It can backfire and it is immoral.

They broke his feet, Dad,

so please don't lecture me on morality.

I'm trying to do what is right here.

-For whom? -For everyone.

Peter, Kat's seen the situation with her own eyes.

A backchannel may be the only thing to save Zach in time.

I will run it by Warren.

Off the record.

I need to get some air.

Robert, will you walk with me?

Sure.

Is that your wife who was here?

Sister.

And is she like your father?

This man who believes in untapped potential

yet cannot see yours?

Look what they did to me.

It's hard for you to understand,

but this was a necessary part of your journey.

Let me take your pain.

What are you doing?

What's happening?

Today...

your healing begins.

Your support for Katherine back there

was very touching.

I don't want to get between you two.

Thankfully, you already are.

I used to worry you two wouldn't be able

to get over your differences, but I was wrong.

A man is allowed to be wrong sometimes.

Isn't he?

This family could do with some good news right now.

So what are you waiting for?

You have the ring, don't you?

-A lot going on, obviously. -What did I tell you

about the timing of things?

You know, you could be waiting for the rest of your life.

Maybe I think too much.

What-what if I'm not there for her?

What if I'm not...

What if I'm no better than my dad?

You know, Jung wrote:

"We don't get wounded alone

and we don't heal alone."

I just think Kate would be a wonderful woman to heal with.

How does it feel?

I broke my hand in high school punching a wall.

Took months to heal.

I don't know how you did this.

But I want to.
