>> Alfonso.

Come in.

>> I heard you had
an urgent call.

Is everything all right?

>> A very, very dear friend of
mine from overseas was murdered.

>> Oh, my dear friend.

What happened?

>> They-- I don't have--
I don't have the details

but it was-- it was violent.

>> How horrible.

>> Was he being robbed?

>> I don't know.

He had knowledge of many things.

>> I know there's
nothing I can say



that would make anything better,
but perhaps I can help some.

>> How?

>> I just received a message
from a colleague of mine

at University of Chicago.

They have satellite
images that seemed

to indicate an undiscovered
Native American site

in the Four Corners area.

But their budget cuts.

They can't afford to
send out a dig team

so they've offered
the lead to us.

I know this is a
favorite topic of yours,

I thought you might be
interested in hitting the dig.

Now William, if now is not
a good time for you to go,

I understand completely--

>> No, no, no.

I-- I think it would be good.

I-- I'd-- I would like something
to help clear my mind of this.

I want to do it.

>> Good. I thought you might.

I've already emailed
you the details.

You put together your dig team

and I'll have a support
crew meet you at the site.

>> Alfonso.

>> Yes?

>> Thank you!

>> Anytime, William.

And William, if you ever need to
talk, you can always trust me.

20 years at this university,
you have never let me down.

>> How could I?

I'd never want to
incur the wrath

of the famous old battle ax.

[Background Music]
Alfred, what were you into?

What are you trying to tell me?

>> That was no mistake,
and Alfred, there--

their Templar are nice.

>> But this doesn't
make sense to me.

It can't be a coincidence.

>> What is it then?

>> Well, the number-- the number
nine, it keeps cropping up.

>> Well, there was
originally nine knights

that started the order,
right, right, right?

And they served nine
years before the Council

of Choice provided
them with the order

and they were founded in 1119.

>> Okay, but what does it mean?

>> I'm not sure.

But something is calling us.

>> Like I can't-- I can't rest.

Alfred, there's something
about these men.

Something disturbs me.

Nine. Nine.

[Phone Ringing]

>> Archeology department,
Renee speaking.

Of course, what's going on?

>> Dean Castillo just gave
us a dig in Four Corners.

I want you to pull together a
team, some diggers, equipment,

everything you can get,
have them there in two days.

>> Equipment might be an issue

because Marion has got her
postdoc next week in Montana.

>> Marion, perfect.

She needs to come with us.

>> William, it's her postdoc.

>> Just tell her.

It's important, she'll come.

>> Okay. I'm going to talk to
Nathan Sullivan, I saw him today

and he'll handle the sonogram.

>> No! He's good but I
don't want an academic.

I want Melvin on this.

Can you get him?

>> I don't know where he is.

>> Is he still sending pictures

of himself proposing
to you on the phone?

>> I just got one two days ago.

>> Perfect, track him down.

I got to go.

>> Where are you?

Are you still in the Belize?

[ Inaudible Remark ]

I need in you in Four
Corners right now.

[Inaudible Remark]

>> Not for me, for
Professor Sinclair,

he needs you in two days.

[Inaudible Remark]

>> I spoke with Allison Carter

of the Bozeman University
Archeology Department,

and she said that she can
put six freshmen interns

for the duration of the dig.

>> That's fantastic.

>> This is Dean Thompson.

How are you?

>> Hello, Ms. Renee.

We're just finalizing
the details

of Marion's postgraduate
research.

She's going to be supervising
the international dig site

up in the Canadian border.

>> Marion, Professor
Sinclair is gathering a team

for a dig in Four Corners.

>> I would love to be involved.

When?

>> Two days.

>> Two days?

>> Impossible.

And I know that Professor
Sinclair would agree with me

that this supervisory
opportunity

for Marion is just too
important for her career.

>> Who is on the team?

>> Myself and Melvin.

>> Dr. Lamasi [phonetic], I know
that Professor Sinclair has been

like a father to you but he
knows how difficult it's been

to get funding for
your research.

>> I'm sorry but
I have to do this.

>> Okay. I'll do what I can.

Say hi to William for me.

>> Dr. Thompson.

>> Dean Castillo.

I was just going to
send you an email.

Dr. Lamasi has to postpone
our postdoc research.

>> Would she be joining she
be joining Sinclair's dig

in Southern Utah?

>> Actually yeah.

I'm worried about
losing the funding--

>> No, no.

I'll take care of it.

>> Great.

>> All right thank you, Russell.

>> Yeah.

>> Say hello to your wife.

>> I'll do it.

[ Noise ]

[ Music ]

>> [Background Music] All
right, we have some daylight.

[ Music ]

[Noise]

>> This is remarkable.

>> Tales of treasure?

Knowledge?

Wisdom even.

Now what would you give
to that kind of wealth.

>> Well, the legends are pretty
farfetched and gold is gold

but discovery of this
kind of knowledge?

Now that would be
the real treasure.

[ Music ]

>> That is what makes
you noble, friend.

[Noise]

[ Music ]

>> Are you okay?

>> Yeah.

>> No, really.

Are you okay?

[ Silence ]

>> I'll be fine.

>> Okay.

[ Noise ]

>> What's up with the ax today?

It's usually about
deep in dirt by now.

>> You're right.

I've never seen him
like this before.

I think something
is bothering him.

[ Noise ]

>> Stop staring.

>> Nope. I don't want to.

>> How is it going over here?

>> Good. How about yourself?

You need water, or massage,
or you want a husband?

>> You're funny, Melvin.

>> Yeah, funny me.

>> Hey, look at that.

>> Shall we say something?

>> What do you think, Marion?

Cute?

>> Worth a try.

How's your pronunciation?

>> I've been told it sounds

like an archeology
rant being strangled.

>> 'Cause you are an
archeologist, duh.

>> The scary thing is that
he finished his undergrad.

>> Renee?

>> I'll try.

I wish you good luck.

>> [Background Music]
Professor Sinclair.

[ Music ]

>> We do have permission
to be here, right?

>> The Professor takes
care of all that.

As far as I know, this was
old state own property.

>> Maybe he thinks
this is tribal lands.

>> Let's just hope
he doesn't get nasty.

[ Music ]

>> You guys, I think
I've got something.

You know what?

I definitely have something.

>> What is it?

>> Rectangular, defined
corners, six feet long,

four feet wide, four feet deep?

>> Professor Sinclair!

>> Professor!

[ Music ]

>> What do you have?

[ Music ]

Get the shovels.

[ Music ]

>> Sir, we have lock
up location.

Yes sir.

[ Music ]

[ Noise ]

>> All right we've
got something.

[ Silence ]

[ Music ]

This can't be.

This is impossible.

>> What is it?

>> It almost looks European.

>> This is impossible.

>> Professor?

>> Open it.

>> What?

>> Who knows what the air
might do to whatever is inside.

>> We should scan it
before we even touch it.

>> I said open it.

[noise] Come on.

Come on!

[ Music & Noise ]

>> Wow. Okay.

[ Music ]

>> What does that
mean, Professor?

>> It means we're
going to need help.

>> Robert Sinclair.

>> What's up man?

>> How have you been, man?

>> Good.

>> It's been a long time.

>> Thanks for meeting with me.

>> You can get a hold of
me anytime, you know that.

>> Thanks.

>> Serious?

Well, I should charge you double
for getting me up this early.

[ Music ]

>> [Background Music] Come on.

I ain't baby sitting you.

Move it! That's all
you got, seriously?

Come on.

>> What the hell
is this, Robert?

>> Bullshit, come on.

It could be nothing.

>> Come on.

This ain't no sweet.

>> Move it.

What do you pay me for?

I ain't baby sitting you.

Move! Come on.

Move! Come on.

Focus man, focus.

[ Music ]

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Come on, do it!

[ Music & Noise ]

We got a long way to go, man.

>> Is it time?

>> Yup. [noise] So, what
you got going on today?

>> I got to meet with
the museum at noon.

They got these new Arms and
Armor Renaissance exhibit.

I don't know what the
hell they're doing.

Then I got to go meet with these
computer game software nerds

that are developing some sort

of fighting game
that means bullshit.

>> That was the fine
cannon that would fire, huh?

>> You have no idea.

>> You kidding me?

You don't mean ninja wannabes
I have to deal with everyday?

It's ridiculous.

[ Noise ]

>> Mr. Sinclair, we're
so stoked to have you

on the dungeon doomed team.

>> [Background Music] Look.

Robert, it's just fine, okay?

And I'm only a temporary
consultant so, unfortunately,

I'm not going to be able to
join the office softball team,

all right?

[Laughter]

>> No, no, no.

>> There's no softball.

>> I think, like I told you,

we're going to this way
sweet game where you

like to take warriors from
like centuries and different

like countries and they come
together and they fight it out.

>> So, we'd heard you're
like the today master

of historical fighting
and swords

and we just knew we had
to have you on board.

>> Oh, well, I forgot.

The best part is like you're the
warriors there are like weapons

and there are like armor like
it's totally interchangeable

so you could like have maybe
a knight over the round table

with like Kevlar armor

with a Viking horned
helmets swinging a Katana.

>> In between that guy and the
pirate with the Robin Hood bow

and like samurai armor and
Conan the Barbarian sword,

who do you think will win?

Who would win?

>> You guys done?

Look, I don't want
to offend you, guys,

I like you bu that's the
stupidest idea I've ever heard.

>> Well, we knew
it was a little--

>> Fantasy.

>> No, a little?

That's it.

You can't mix different time
periods and different cultures,

it never works, it
never has worked, okay?

Each specific weapon has
specific time period associated

with it, and you can sit there
and mix them up and assume

that it's going to
be a good video game.

>> So-- so wait.

What if we take warriors
from the same time period

like a ninja fighting
a musketeer?

>> No.

>> All three musketeers
or just one?

>> We are talking about
a ninja here so it'd have

to be all three musketeers,
[inaudible].

[ Music ]

>> [Background Music] Hello?

>> Hey, it's me.

Don't-- don't hang up.

I really need your help.

>> What the hell do you want?

>> I can't talk about
it over the phone.

I'm at a dig site
near Four Corners.

>> I could care less
where you're at.

Listen, I got to go.

>> It's a matter
of life and death.

Please.

>> [Sighs] Okay.

>> Right. How quickly
can you get here?

>> Tomorrow.

>> I'll wait for
you in the morning.

And one more thing, be careful.

[ Music ]

Cover that dig site
up for the night.

Marion, bring the sword.

[ Music ]

>> Professor, [inaudible] this?

>> No, you better hold on
to it, way too obvious.

>> All right.

Are you sure?

>> Yeah. Whatever cost you
make, protect that sword.

>> I think the battle
ax [inaudible].

>> He is acting very strange.

>> That's true.

>> All right, good morning.

[ Noise ]

[ Music & Noise ]

>> [Background Music]
Need any help?

>> No. Thank you though.

[ Music ]

[ Noise ]

>> [Background Music]
Just give me the sword.

>> What the hell is
going on in here?

>> It doesn't concern you, boy.

I wouldn't consider
that if I were you.

[ Music ]

>> Talking Espanol?

>> Si. Si.

>> [Foreign Language] Robert.

>> Ola, Robert.

[ Foreign Language ]

>> Look, we got to call
the police right now.

>> No, no, no, no,
I'm-- I'm okay.

I'm okay now.

No-- it's not a big deal.

>> You sure?

>> Yeah. Thank you.

>> Okay. Make sure you
double lock the door, okay?

>> I'll keep that in mind.

Thank you Robert, thank you.

[ Foreign Language ]

[ Music ]

[ Silence ]

[ Music ]

[ Music & Noise ]

>> [Background Music] Your son.

Be glorious.

Whatever dad.

[ Music & Noise ]

>> Robert, you made it.

>> You want to tell me what
the hell I'm doing out here?

>> You're out here
because I need your help.

>> Why don't you tell me
what you really want, dad?

Are you still [inaudible]
family?

[ Noise ]

>> Who's that?

>> Who does he think he is?

>> Hey everyone.

I want you to meet Robert.

He's going to be helping us out.

>> So, you two, you
two know each other?

>> I helped her out with teeth
problem that we have last night.

>> What is he talking about?

>> It's nothing, Professor.

>> Tell me exactly
what happened.

>> Last night, this guy
chased me to my room

and he tried to steal the sword.

>> The sword?

>> And Robert here saw
it happening, well.

>> I took care of him.

>> Why didn't you tell me this?

>> Professor, I just didn't
what to worry you about it.

>> He was trying
to steal the sword.

Did either of you notice
anything that looked

like a three-teared
purple cross?

>> Purple cross?

What have you got in
yourself into, dad?

>> We've made an
amazing discovery.

[ Music & Noise ]

>> [Background Music]
This is a joke, right?

You guys planted this?

>> You know, we've been doing
this long enough to know

when something has been planted.

>> Plus the soil would have
been disturbed on the radar.

This is genuine.

[ Music ]

>> European features, Caucasian.

>> You say you have the sword?

>> Yes, we do.

[ Music ]

>> Well, it's quite sturdy.

You don't have to be
so gentle with it.

>> She still has an edge.

>> Well?

>> It can't be what you think.

It's too pristine.

>> But what does your
analysis tell you?

>> Oakeshott, type 18A.

Most pristine I've ever seen.

>> And the date?

>> It doesn't matter.

It can't be what
you wanted to be.

>> Robert, the date?

>> It's impossible.

>> Please, what is it?

>> Look, based of the-- the
clothing and the armor and this,

late 1200s, early 13 but
it's clearly impossible.

>> How can you be sure?

>> Well, I should
have told you earlier

but Robert is a very
accomplished spathologist

and hoplologist.

>> Who and what?

>> Spathology and hoplology,
it's fairly new terms

for a very exact
type of science.

>> Renee, any ideas?

>> Spathology, the
Greek, spathe for sword.

>> Excellent, excellent.

Although more specifically
the study

and classification of swords.

And haplology?

>> Not sure.

>> Marion?

>> What, you now are
going to bother asking me?

>> Should I?

>> The Greek hoplites?

>> Excellent.

>> So, what does that mean?

>> That means I know about
swords and how to use them.

>> But that sword doesn't
explain what a European knight

is doing in the middle

of the Southwest American
desert in the 14th century.

>> Well, I believe that this
is no ordinary European knight.

>> I need to come up with
some crackpot theory.

>> You solved a lot
of [inaudible].

>> Come on.

>> What else could it be?

That grave holds the remains
of a man who was once a member

of a very elite and
prestigious organization.

It was known as the
Order of the Poor Knights

of the Temple of Solomon.

>> It's impossible.

>> Later, they were known
simply as the Knights Templar.

[ Music & Noise ]

>> There's simply no concrete
evidence to support it.

>> Robert, the evidence is
right over there and part

of it is actually concrete.

>> This entire site
is inconsistent

with historical record.

I mean, who the hell led
you guys here anyway?

>> We got a tip that this was
a potential Native American

dig site.

>> Have you found
any other artifacts?

>> Yes, but they seemed to
be Anasazi which was odd.

>> Why?

>> Well, the Anasazi lands were
more in the Mesa Verde area.

>> See, more inconsistencies,
thus,

lending less credibility
to this site.

>> All right.

Well, what if you consider--

>> There is no what if, dad.

This isn't one of your wacky
conspiracy theories, all right?

I'm sorry.

>> Robert, you're simply not
seeing the entire picture here.

>> Even if that skeleton
is real, one bazaar tomb

in the middle of the desert
doesn't confirm any evidence

of a transatlantic
pre-Columbian migration.

>> All right, one find, yes.

But there are others.

>> Where? What-- they
haven't been debunked?

>> The Westford Knight.

>> Those scratchings are
hardly considered evidence.

>> And what about the Camerons
[phonetic] at Oak Island?

>> You mean sink holes?

>> Okay. So the area
is malleable.

And it's prone to cave-ins.

There's been a lot of
debate and discussion

about subterranean
caverns and passageways.

>> What was their purpose?

>> Some people believed that the
Knights Templar had bowl loads

of treasure when
they left Europe

and they needed somewhere
to stash it.

>> But nothing is there.

>> Correct.

>> Not anymore.

>> What's the treasure
even supposed to be?

>> If you're not familiar

with the Knights Templar,
you wouldn't know.

>> Well, the Knights
Templar began shortly

after the first crusades
in 1099.

Some of the European warriors
had decided to stay behind

and to join religious orders
centering on the Church

of the Holly Sepulchre which
was a traditional burial site

of Jesus Christ.

But as religious pilgrims
began to make their way

to visit the Holy City, a
lot of them fell under attack

by the bandits and
Muslims opposing the

crusader occupation.

And this continued to happen.

So these warriors
decided to take action.

They sought to form an order

to protect these
pilgrims from harm.

By 1129, they've been officially
approved by the Pope and with

that blessing came the financial
backing of all Christian Europe.

For the next 180 years,
the Templars grew in size

and they grew in popularity
and they grew in wealth.

And for reasons that we
still don't understand,

by the early 14th century,
the Pope had the decided

that the Templars
weren't needed anymore.

And rather than simply disband
the order, he sent out orders

to a secret group of
assassins we now know

as the Plaga [phonetic] to
hunt down and to imprison

and to kill all the
Knights Templar.

It was a massacre.

With almost no warning,

the entire Templar
order was wiped out.

But it was rumored that some
of the knights survived.

Many believed that the Pope
was after the Templar's wealth.

However, when the
Pope's man arrived

at the various Templar
holdings, they were empty.

A lot of what happened after
that has been lost to history

and has been distorted
by myths and by legends.

Some believe that the Templar
remnants continue to operate

in one of the few safe havens
in Europe, maybe Scotland.

And others believe that some
of the Templars boarded ships

that were field with
all of their treasures

and that they sailed
off into the west,

never to be heard from again.

>> But nothing was ever found.

>> Until today.

>> Well, one knight's
body is hardly a treasure.

>> Robert, you know more
about medieval weaponry

than probably anybody
on the earth.

Now, just for a moment,
forget about the circumstances

of this particular
find and tell me,

what does that sword tell you?

>> I'd have to know
the makers more about.

>> Hmm, look at that.

But when you turn the
sword fast like that,

you can see the sun
sitting in the valley.

>> Let me see that.

[ Music ]

Robert, how many times
have you seen a sword

with different markings
on each side of the blade?

>> Never.

>> I think we have
ourselves a map.

>> Come on, dad, even if it
is a map, I mean it's a sun

in a valley, there's
tens of thousands

of valleys all over the planet.

>> Too bad they didn't
hammer in GPS coordinates.

[ Music ]

>> Alfred, what were you in to?

What are you trying to tell me?

[ Music ]

>> Professor, what did I say?

There's not going to
be GPS coordinates

on a 700-year-old sword.

>> [Laughs] Melvin, what are
those numbers look like to you?

>> Latitude, longitude, oh okay.

>> Exactly.

Why don't you go and punch
those numbers into your computer

and see where they're
going to take us.

>> Yes sir.

>> Where did you get
those coordinates?

>> From a very, very
good friend.

[ Music ]

>> Alfred.

>> I'm Alfred.

>> Hello Mr. Alfred.

What can I help you with?

>> Actually I was hoping

that you could help me
locate your father, William.

>> I don't know exactly
where he is.

>> Why is that?

>> It's complicated.

>> All right.

Well, thank you for your
time, Robert Sinclair.

[ Music ]

You know you're father is a
good man, you should know that.

[ Music ]

>> Who are you?

>> I'm the original
homeland security, bitch.

[ Music & Noise ]

>> Good work.

I got it, son.

[ Music ]

>> Are we expecting company?

>> If you want to live, hop
in the trunk and come with me.

>> Are you threatening us?

>> No, dumb ass.

I'm saving you.

>> Who are they and
what did they want?

>> Unless you want to find out,
I suggest you get in the truck.

Look there's a bunch
of them and one of me,

how do you like your odds?

>> I think we should
go with him.

Get the gear.

>> Who's that?

>> That's my son, Jaisac.

He's going to slow
those guys down.

>> Renee, we've got hostile.

Grab the gear and the others.

Get them back to town.

If they follow you,
call the police.

Wait for my call.

>> Hey, the sword, you're
going to want to bring that.

>> Who are you?

>> I can tell you and
that nice sword later.

Get in the back.

[ Music & Noise ]

[ Noise ]

>> You want to tell us
what that was all about?

>> Robert.

That's hardly the way
to speak to someone

who just saved our lives.

You should apologize.

>> What the hell do you
know about apologies?

>> My name is Joe.

>> Yeah, Indian Joe.

Keep it Joe to yourself or
I'll stub you in the neck.

>> Mr. Joe, we saw you
watching us earlier.

Are we on your land?

>> No, I live in a
shitty canoe downtown.

I was asked to keep
an eye on you.

>> You are Anasazi, aren't you?

>> Well, if you want
to be racist about it.

>> Excuse me?

>> Anasazi is a name
the Navajos gave us.

It means ancient enemies.

We never call ourselves Anasazi.

>> Well, what would you
call yourself back then?

>> The people.

>> Creative.

What do you call yourself now?

>> Anasazi.

>> By the way.

Why is there an Anasazi
site over here

so far from Mesa Verde?

>> We had to move.

>> Why? Do you need
better hunting grounds?

>> No, the Navajos
kept kicking our asses.

So before we were completely
wiped out, we moved west.

>> How does an Anasazi dig
site end up in new territory

with a European coffin in it?

>> I'll tell you but
you won't like it.

>> What makes you say that?

>> Because you have
that arrogant, I'm right

and everybody else is wrong.

And I'm angry because
somebody pissed

in my corn flakes,
what about you?

>> Why did they want
your skills for?

There are no good
dwellings around here?

>> [Background Music] Our legend
starts as our people settled

down for winter in that valley.

[ Music ]

The village was facing
certain annihilation--

[ Music ]

-- when something
remarkable happened.

The strange warriors asked
us if we were the builders

for the cities and cliffs.

We said, we were, they offered
their protection in exchange

for the use of our skills.

>> This is ridiculous.

This is like something
he would make up.

>> You have to be a bit more
respectful towards your father.

You're going to need him
before all this is over.

>> I haven't needed
him for 15 years.

>> Maybe not, dumb ass.

But he's right about the find.

>> You mean to tell me
that Knights Templar sailed

over the Atlantic
in the 13th century,

crossed nearly the entire North
American continent just to end

up in some hellhole of a
desert and make an alliance

with a nearly extinct
tribe simply

because they admired
their architecture?

>> Hey, the truth doesn't
require your belief.

>> Where is the proof?

>> I know enough about you.

I know that you can spot a fake.

>> I have to do some
more testing.

>> That's a lot of crap.

>> It appears to be authentic.

>> Your father was right.

The markings on the
sword are a map.

>> How did you know we
thought it was a map?

>> Because I'm smart.

Now, I believe you will
give us a map coordinates.

>> How did you know that?

>> You don't need
coordinates, you need me.

[ Music ]

>> Whoa, whoa, what are
you doing with that?

That's dangerous.

>> What? Don't you
think a little girl

like me can handle
a sword this big?

>> Well, it depends.

>> For what?

>> Lots of things.

Strength, agility, technique,

the ability to perform
various postures

and positions at
a very rapid pace.

>> How did you get
involve with swords?

>> My dad.

>> Well, I assume
that's predictable.

>> I suppose.

>> You're so passionate
about history.

These things only natural,

he will want instill
some of that in you.

How old were you when you
stopped talking to him?

>> I was 15.

>> I didn't know him then.

I have some difficulties
in my life

and only he was there for me.

I don't know what
happened between you two

but the William Sinclair that I
know has been nothing but kind,

understanding, and honest.

I've been with him on
over a dozen weeks.

I don't know what
we're dealing with

but I know he desperately
needs you, we all do.

[ Music ]

Whatever.

>> My parents got
divorced when I was 11.

They said it was-- they
reconciled with differences.

They just told us that
they needed to live

in different places for a while.

They sent me out to
a bunch of camps.

>> Camp, are you a scout?

>> No, no, not scout camp.

I'm talking real
life policy camps.

Camps where they taught me
Muay Thai, martial arts,

and Greek or Roman wrestling.

>> That seems strength
for a kid.

>> I was good.

I was really good.

>> Your father must
have been so proud.

[ Music ]

>> What's up with
you love birds,

what are you guys doing, huh?

[ Music ]

[ Silence ]

[Noise]

>> You going to want to go
about 300 yards up that way.

>> What are we looking for?

>> You'll know when you see it.

>> You're not coming with?

>> No, I've got to go pull it
down a little bit at Walmart.

I hate that shit job.

>> Is there anything
else we need to know?

>> [Background Music] You
know Marela [phonetic],

you still remember.

>> How do you know my real name?

No one calls me that.

>> You're grandmother did.

[ Music ]

>> I won't stay here too
long if I were you, guys.

>> What was that all about?

>> My name is Marela,
no one ever called me

that except my grandmother.

She died when I was six.

I hardly remember her at all.

She used to have this
long, beautiful black hair.

She used to tell me
stories about Indians.

I think that's how I became
so interested in them.

>> Are you okay?

>> Yes, I am.

>> Okay, let's go.

[ Music ]

>> This is about 300 yards.

[ Music ]

>> Alfred.

>> Marion, look at this.

Have you ever seen a
symbol like this before?

>> Oh, it-- it appears to
be a sword at the Hilton

but then the blade
terminates in a key.

>> A key. The sword is the key?

The sword is the key.

The sword is the key.

And? [Laughter]

>> And I have absolutely no idea

but the sword is the
key, this is remarkable.

There has to be more on this.

The sword is the key.

The sword is the key.

Let the light of the
blade be your guide.

Say it to the Lord.

[ Music ]

>> There's got to be
something right here.

Right here.

[ Music ]

Right.

[ Music ]

>> What now?

>> Step back.

[ Music ]

Look at that!

>> Wow.

>> Renee, it's me,
we found something.

Bring the man in the gear.

I'll have Marion send
you the coordinates.

>> What are you guys
waiting for?

Come on! Let's go!

>> Robert, stay by the
sword until we're up there.

>> Okay.

[ Music ]

>> How did it go?

>> Everything is fine.

[ Music & Noise ]

>> What did you find?

>> It looks like one
of those glasses we saw

at the knight's tomb.

>> Now what?

Is there somewhere
to stick the sword?

>> It doesn't look like it.

>> It's just a rock.

>> Hey, dad, you're
going to hurt yourself.

[noise] What the hell!

Oh shit!

[ Music & Noise ]

>> Kneel.

[ Music & Noise ]

In Hoc Signo Vinces.

[ Music ]

Rise, Sir William.

[ Music ]

>> There's something you
should know about me.

[Background Music] I'm a
member of the Templar Order.

>> I thought you said they
were all killed or imprisoned?

>> I also said that some of
them escaped the Great Purge.

Some of the men went
into hiding.

>> How did you come
to be involved?

>> I was working in Europe with
a colleague Alfred De Molay.

We were researching,
studying Templar lore

and eventually he told me that
the Templar still existed.

He was one of them.

He asked me to join.

>> De Molay?

As in Jacques De Molay?

>> Direct descendant.

>> Who is Jacques De Molay.

>> He was the last Grand
Master of the Knights Templar.

>> That last known Grand Master.

>> And this Alfred De
Molay, he's the one

who gave you the
coordinates to the site?

>> He must have discovered
it in his research

and deciphered the location.

>> I don't get it.

If he knew the coordinates,

how come he didn't tell
you everything else?

>> Because he was murdered the
night that he sent them to me.

>> I should've known
that this was going

to turn you another
one of your lies.

>> I didn't know!

>> You didn't know?

You didn't know?

Just like you didn't
know about the letters

that mom was sending me

for seven years before
she committed suicide?!

>> I'm sorry!

I was wrong!

I was wrong!

And I was wrong to
keep her from you!

>> I think you owe
them an apology.

>> I may have dragged you into
something very, very dangerous.

I believed that Alfred De
Molay may have been murdered

by a member of the Plaga.

>> The soldiers sent by the
Pope to kill the Templars?

>> Any answers we're
going to find,

we're going to find
inside this cave.

>> Look, I'm done
with this shit.

If you care about your
lives, I would stay

as far away from
him as possible.

I'm out of here.

>> You two head back to the
trucks and get the gear.

We're going in.

[ Music ]

>> He abandoned me.

He shipped me off to
be raised by schools

and then he cut me
off for my mom.

>> He needs you.

If you think he's so wrong
for leaving you, did you think

by you doing the same
thing to him is going

to make all things better?

>> So your friend that was
killed sent you a personal

message with coordinates in it?

So, all they have to do is
they got to send message

to find out who you are?

>> Exactly.

>> Is that what you [inaudible]
talking at the hotel?

>> Houston, we have a problem.

[ Music ]

>> [Background Music]
Everybody into the cave.

Now!

[ Music ]

[Inaudible Remark]

>> Get us some pegs and run.

[ Music & Noise ]

>> About a handful of these
are sent to the light.

Aw.

[ Music ]

[Inaudible Remark]

>> Adoration.

>> [Inaudible] is perfectly
shaped for that form.

>> So we take them all and
put it into [inaudible].

>> And if we choose
the wrong one?

>> Who knows?

[Inaudible Remark]

>> What do you think, Professor?

>> I don't know.

[Foreign Language]

>> What? I don't know,
there's something written

in Latin over here.

>> Where?

>> Right on this pot of gold.

[ Music ]

>> "Whosoever is merciful to
the poor lendeth to the Lord:

the Lord shall repay."

>> The beggar.

>> Exactly.

>> Shit!

>> We don't have much time.

>> Yeah. I got this.

[ Music & Noise ]

>> Hurry up.

[ Music & Noise ]

>> Somebody has to put the
ball back on the pillar.

>> I'll do it!

>> No!

>> I said I'll do it.

>> No!

>> Renee! Renee!

No!

[ Music & Noise ]

[ Noise ]

>> Renee?

>> No.

[ Noise ]

[ Music ]

>> [Background Music] Dad,
you got to keep moving.

[ Music ]

>> There's no way out of here.

>> There's got to be something.

[Inaudible Remark]

>> Curiosity, generosity.

>> Two of the six
tests of the Templars.

[ Music ]

>> Hey dad!

What do you think of this?

>> Looks like someone
was pulled into the wall.

>> Professor, come look at this.

>> Maybe there's some trick
here like the last escape.

>> Melvin!

>> Look at the markings
on this floor.

Clearly, someone
was here before us.

They probably saw
everything that we've seen

and then crossed this panel.

>> I know I'm not
touching anything.

[ Music ]

>> We have to make a choice.

>> And which one?

>> That's kind of gay.

What? It's two dudes
on the same horse.

You can't tell me
that's not a real fruity.

>> That's it.

>> What? They're gay?

>> Two Knights on
the same horse.

It's a Templar symbol.

>> Why is that?

>> In the early days they were
very poor so it's a reference

to that, and to their
central purpose

of helping others in need.

[ Music ]

>> Dad, don't.

>> I want to do this.

This is our only
way out of here.

Besides, if I'm wrong, you're
their only hope of survival.

Son, don't forget
to say your prayers.

[Noise]

>> Professor Sinclair,
you're the man!

Let's go!

[ Music ]

>> Melvin!

[ Music ]

>> What now?

[Inaudible Remark] I'm not
as familiar with this one.

Maybe strength to fight?

>> [Inaudible], it's the
last test of the Templars.

>> So we're being tested?

What's the trick?

How do we get out of this one?

>> There's no trick.

There's no mystery to solve,

there's no riddles
to figure out.

[ Music & Noise ]

>> You come any closer
and I'll cut you down.

>> You have no right to
wield that sword, boy.

>> I know that voice.

Alfonso! Alfonso!

[ Music & Noise ]

>> Dean Castillo.

>> Why?

>> My ancestors stay true

to the mother church
while yours betrayed

and perverted her ways, Templar.

>> How long have you known?

[ Music ]

You killed Alfred.

>> He was a heretic.

>> Alfred was a Knight
Templar, so am I.

[ Music ]

[ Foreign Language ]

[ Music ]

>> Your mother church
is a whore.

[ Music & Noise ]

Sinclair!

[ Music & Noise ]

You disappoint me.

>> Heretic.

[ Music & Noise ]

>> He's gone.

>> My God, have mercy
on his soul.

[ Music & Noise ]

>> Ah, you guys!

>> Let's go!

Come on!

[ Noise ]

[ Music ]

>> [Background Music] Yes!

[Inaudible Remark]

[ Music ]

>> Welcome Professor.

>> Thank you.

>> Please follow me.

>> I had wished that our first
meeting would've been more

peaceful brother William.

But I am glad you
are still alive.

>> These are my favorites.

>> Yes, I know.

Alfred was my brother.

My name is Phillipe De Molay.

I oversee the operations
of the Order here.

This facility is the hidden
center of the Templar Order

for many centuries now, even
my own brother knew not my

part here.

>> Phillipe, I'm
afraid my involvement

with the Order may have
contributed to his death.

>> Nonsense brother William.

It is not unusual for a Templar
to pass on what he has learned

to one he has deemed
worthy of such information.

>> What the hell
are you doing here?

>> Mr. Joe.

>> Yeah, big surprise, huh?

What? You thought this is
the pale-skin-only club?

>> No, I just thought you had
that crappy job at Walmart.

>> Nah, I was just
jerking your chain.

>> It's the Anasazi.

They built this for the
Templars, didn't they?

>> That's the only [inaudible]
we could build casinos, huh?

>> Now Joe, be nice
to our guests.

>> My grandmother
was Native American,

was she an assassin too?

>> You got it.

We had to make sure
the alliance continued.

Your grandmother was a Templar.

She wanted you to
take her place.

>> Robert, you, of course,

can see how you were
chosen through your father.

All of your weapons training
was in preparation for you

to take his place
within the Order.

>> Unless you're going
to keep being all moody.

>> Joe, that's not very nice.

>> Yeah, so what?

I'm getting out in this moment.

It's stinky.

>> So, what is the
reason for this place?

I don't understand.

>> Did you know what the purpose
of the original Templars was?

>> To protect pilgrims
en route to holy land?

>> After our efforts and
the holy land failed,

the Order developed a radical
plan, a Templar nation.

We needed a nation free
from the oppression of rule,

the ability to change laws
without repercussions.

It was not long before the Order
put a young man by the name

of Christopher Columbus
on the past of his ideals.

>> Columbus was a Templar?

>> Do you recognize the
banner he had sailed over?

>> It bears the Templar cross.

>> So, all the stories we hear
were arranged to hide the truth

that your were setting
up your own country?

>> [Laughs] Yes.

>> But it's America now and
you guys are still down here.

Why did Templar nation fail?

>> My dear boy, who
says that we failed?

>> Brother, Senator Aldemar
[phonetic] is reporting to you.

>> Very good.

If you please excuse me, I
have matters to attend to.

I've arranged for transportation
for you all back to the village.

>> Well, wait, aren't you going
to swear to us the secrecy?

>> What if we tell
other people about this?

>> [Laughs] Who would
believe you?

>> Did she just say
Senator Aldemar?

[ Music ]

>> And so, now he's
just going back

and forth to Washington, DC.

>> So how is it possible,

I mean half a dozen men
running the whole nation?

>> They don't-- they
don't actually have

to control everything, just give
it a little push now and then

when things need correcting.

>> I think you guys are
going to want to see this.

>> [Background Music]
With a move

that shocked the
political world,

the beloved Senator Aldemar
has declared his intention

to run for president.

Instantly, he has
become the favorite

as millions backed his banner
of political and moral reforms.
