Jack Hunter and The Lost Treasure of Ugarit - First Season

GPS orbiting at 12,000 miles.

- How long before the satellite passes out of range?

It will pass out of range in 15.

Team leader, take position.

And, bring the package to me, intact, copy?

Copy.

We have visual on transport.

Ma'am, we have the package in sight.

Waiting for final go.

Team leader, you have a go.

Move, move, step away, sir.

What the hell...

Take cover.

Get down.

Get down.

Shit!

Say.

Oh!

No.

Go, go

This way!

No!

Damn it.

- Get me the Director, and bring me Jack Hunter, now.

Ah.

- What the hell do you think you're doing, Hunter?

Liz and I had a deal.

Get in the car.

Littman.

Petrovsky.

You cost me a lot of money.

A million US, I paid to get you out of jail.

It'll be worth it, trust me.

- Ah Littman, you keep saying this all the time.

I'm starting to think that I made

a bad choice, hiring you.

A very bad choice.

And, I don't tolerate failure.

- You let this guy arrange your transportation out of Cairo.

We now have the NSA breathing down our backs.

Now Littman, tell me some good news.

The Iris is in a safe place, huh?

The Iris is in a safe place.

Mmm?

And I have a lead on the second piece.

It's in Turkey.

- You want me to call my travel agent or what?

- My contacts in that region are solid, rest assured.

Because, when it comes to excuses,

you have reached your limits.

You have only two days, not a second more.

Ma'am.

You are totally out of line--

- You were supposed to keep me informed, Liz.

That was the deal.

And,, if it wasn't for me, you'd have three body bags

coming home right now.

We lost Littman.

Surprise, surprise.

He didn't have the Iris with him.

He must have hidden it somewhere.

- Well, we've gotta get the Iris and the Eye

before he puts the two pieces together.

Is that it?

Octavius raided Egypt after Mark Anthony

and Cleopatra died.

He filled Rome's coffers with all the Egyptian gold

and artifacts that he could get his hands on.

- So, you're telling me that the Eye of the Star

is hidden in the Vatican catacombs?

No, I'm telling you it would have been.

Constantine moved the capital of the Roman Empire

from Rome to Constantinople,

and he moved the treasury with it.

Everything went, the Eye, the treasure of Ugarit,

it's all gone.

All that from this?

Why would they bother to leave a coin?

- Oh, because the Romans were a little funky about death.

They believed that by placing a coin in each of the eyes

of the deceased it would help them to ascend to heaven.

Think of it as a fee for passage.

So the Eye is somewhere in Istanbul?

- I don't think the Romans even knew what they had,

I mean, if they did, there would have been some sort of

historical documents on the Eye's power.

I mean, something about it.

And, we find the top antiquities dealer here in Turkey,

somebody who specializes in these types of relics.

Littman's gonna have the same idea, too.

So, we need to move quickly.

I saw this is Akhenaton's tomb.

I did a little research.

The Egyptians believe that the Eye

was placed in a holy box.

See if we can find it.

Corporal, scan this into our database

and see if we have anything on record that matches.

How's your shoulder?

Oh, I'll live.

I think we have something here.

That's it.

What information can you give me on it?

- This photograph is off a private auction book

from the early 1970s.

The piece was showcased

by Antaki and Son Antiquities in Istanbul.

It says here it was sold to a private collector

for $100,000.

Well, we have a lead, Antaki and Sons.

- Find out everything you can about that dealer, now.

- Ma'am, here's what I have so far on the owners.

Wait, go, go back.

What?

Nothing.

Well, well, well, what do we have here?

Antaki's son and Nadia attended university together

and from the looks of it, they were a couple.

No.

- It's one thing when an American asks questions,

but it's another when it's an old flame.

Get her here, now.

Not happening, Liz, do you hear me?

- When are gonna you realize this is bigger than all of us?

We just brought home American soldiers going after Littman,

just the latest casualties.

What about Frederick?

No.

You know don't think for a second

that I, that we, won't make your life

a living hell.

My God, what has happened to you?

Oh, Jack, how are you, my friend?

Hey.

Okay.

Good?

- Good to see you too, Tariq. - Thank you.

Jack, you must help me find these special glasses.

Special glasses?

Yes.

Will you?

To protect my eyes.

I'll make it a priority.

Oh, thank you, Jack, thank you.

Ah.

Hi.

Hey.

Thanks for coming.

- We started this together, we need to finish it.

Together?

- I'm here to stop a disaster from happening,

so the sooner we get to Mr. Antaki's the better, right?

Right.

So...

Tariq.

Of course I know they're on to us.

We move quickly and efficiently, don't worry.

Yes, we are tracking it down now.

I'll keep you posted.

Armen Antaki.

Let's go.

- So, you went to college with Antaki's son, huh?

Fuad?

Yeah.

Fuad (scoffs).

How did you know that, Jack?

- Oh, I was checking him out online, you know, the internet.

Yeah, I've heard of the internet.

Great picture of you two, by the way.

You looked very happy.

Were you good friends?

It ended badly, if you must know.

No, I wa, I, really?

- Look Jack, I can assure you, if they have any information

that can help us, they'll tell me, don't worry.

He likes to worry.
