Blood & Treasure (2019–…): Season 2, Episode 11 - Raid on the Hidden Fortress - full transcript

Previously, on
"Blood & Treasure"...

What do you know about Violet?

She was going
after a bounty

the Khan put out on the Banner.

She's definitely
up to something.

I just killed Kate.

There's a very big chance
the Banner's actually here,

underneath the Museum

of Mongolian Artifacts.

The Soul of Genghis Khan.

Put the CIA on me, Danny?



You're working

for the Khan?

I don't work for anybody.

She is the Khan.

I knew.

You knew?
And you didn't tell me?

I guess we both have
our secrets.

If I can get her alone, I can
get her to give up her plan.

Take me with you. I always thought

we'd end up doing this together.

I'm not leaving Lexi behind!

Congratulations.

Banner inside, carefully. Yes, sir.

Quite the operation
you have here.



Please
don't talk to me.

You're gonna get us
both killed.

Wasn't
talking to you, first off.

I mean it.

It's impressive.

Oh, stop it.

Stop what?

Stop pretending.

You're just here to show
me the error of my ways,

or spy on me
if you can't.

Let's not lie to each other.

Yeah, let's not.

You want me
to be straight with you?

What the hell is wrong with you?

This is insane.

Everything I've done,
I've done for a reason.

I'm gonna change the world.

You can be right by my
side if you want to.

Mr. At well, how are we
looking on time?

On schedule.
T-minus 15 hours.

On schedule for what, exactly?

You don't have to dig
for information.

I'll give it to you.

As long as I know
we can trust each other.

I can't ever trust you again.

So who can you trust?

Danny?

Who lied to you about me,
kept you in the dark?

See, you have been trying
to pull us apart

since the moment you came back
into my life.

I haven't had to do anything.

He's done it all by himself.

Simon.

I assume that you came here

with some kind of plan
for survival.

I sincerely hope for your sake
that wasn't it.

Chuck?

Chuck?

Chuck, can you hear me?

Yeah, uh,
Violet is the Great Khan.

And she killed Kate.

Look, I'm so sorry, Chuck.

I wanted to tell you in person.

I just didn't want you
to hear it from anybody else.

And, Chuck, listen,
it's my fault.

I didn't trust Violet,
and told Kate to look into her.

No, it's my fault.

If she stayed with me,
she'd still be alive.

Um... are you okay?

I haven't really had time
to process everything yet.

What about Lexi?

She's...

with Violet.

Violet kidnapped her?

Not exactly.

Lexi kind of went willingly.

What do you mean,
"went willingly"?

She went with Violet
to try to learn her plan.

But Shaw and I have
our own plan to find them.

You guys got to get out
of Shaw's place right now.

Yeah.

Violet knows we're here.

No, she has the Banner.
She doesn't need you anymore.

Chuck, I got to go.

I got to say, I've
completely outgrown this place.

I don't know what I was thinking
trying to plant roots.

I'm a nomad.

A wanderer.

I know.

I'm gonna miss you, too.

To the Golden Tiger.

We barely knew you.

To the Golden Tiger.

Sup, fellas?

Welcome to our trap.

Lexi Vaziri.

Where did the Khan take her?

It's over.

Start talking.

Where did your Khan take Lexi?

Cyanide capsules

hidden in their teeth.

They must have had

"kill or be killed" instructions
from the Khan.

It's all right.

We'll find her
another way.

I don't know what to do.

I've devoted my life
to the Church.

I feel like
I've been betrayed.

You didn't start
Arcanum Gladio.

You didn't hide that information
in the giftschrank

for the Khan to find.

But priests like me did.

Or they didn't do
anything about it.

And it got my friend killed.

I'm so angry.

I'm so angry at them.

I'm so angry at myself.

Maybe the anger
that you feel is God

trying to get you to do
the right thing?

Cardinal Rossi sent
both of us away,

and he probably killed Alonso,

all to cover up
Arcanum Gladio'scrimes.

And now I think

that the Khan
is blackmailing the Vatican.

I know what I need to do, I
just don't know if I can do it.

Someone...

must take responsibility.

It's up to you
to make a choice.

And spend the rest of my life

living up to it.

That's funny,

someone else was trying
to tell me the same thing.

Thanks, Sister.

When I saw all the cops,

I got very scared for you,
Mr. Shaw.

I'm okay, Hahn.

But those bad guys
aren't gonna stop.

Does that mean
you'll be leaving?

It was only a matter of time.

Only a matter of time.

No IDs, nothing to tell us
where they came from

or where they might be going.

Just some cash,
guns and some cigars.

These are Burmese.

My mom's stupid boyfriend
smokes them.

He's always complaining

that he can only get them
in Mandalay.

I've got an old gunrunner friend
from London

who's been trying to get me in
on this big job for months now.

In Burma.

Could be her.

Might help us track
where these guys came from,

lead us to Violet.

Eh...

Listen, uh...

I've been putting him
off for six months.

I'm trying to
fly straight.

I-I'm not sure
it's a good idea.

Okay. I can talk
to him by myself

if you're not comfortable.

No. It's Lexi
we're talking about.

I can keep my head on straight

if it gets us
one step closer to her.

But first things first.

Uh, guys, I don't know
when I'm coming back.

I'm gonna need somebody to
take over the Golden Tiger

while I'm gone. I accept!

I wasn't talking to you.

What do you say?

Well...

I'll tell you what,

you can be my apprentice.

I'll make sure
he doesn't over pour.

That-a-boy. Come here.

Now...

Never forget the three rules
of the Golden Tiger.

Happy hour is for suckers,

we're better
than Birkenstocks...

...and the bathroom is
for customers only.

You're ready.

Don't get yourself killed.

No promises.

Thanks, Vince.

I got a lot of ideas
for this place.

Ooh...

Ah...

Pippety-lippety,
pippety-lippety...

Huh! Huh!

My mind is my own...

...enormously.

The rain in Spain is
mainly on the plain.

The rain in Spain
is mainly on the plain.

Shaw.

Mainly on the plain.

Are you okay?

Yeah. It's been a long time

since I've fully inhabited

the character of...

Aiden Shaw, criminal mastermind.

My-my accent is rusty.

And why did
the former criminal mastermind

have these rocket launchers
in his basement?

Because they're defective,
and he couldn't unload them.

But as luck
would have it,

they're the perfect trade
to get info

on where Violet could be.

Wherever that is.

Wow. Look at you.

I thought at least we could have
dinner like civilized people.

You really thought
you could bribe me with food?

It's worked before.

Fine.

I'll eat.

But I won't enjoy it.

I've always wanted you here
with me when I hit it big.

You always said that we'd be
straight with each other.

What happened to that?

There was a Vatican contact
in Kate Reece's phone.

She was talking to them
before she left for Mongolia.

I need to know
who she was talking to.

Kate and I
weren't exactly confidantes.

You know that.

And what does
this have to do

- with the Vatican, anyway?
- Oh, is this the part

when you ask me questions? No,

this is the part where I try to
understand your cause, Violet.

What is this
all about?

Genetic
experiments,

the Vatican, Genghis Khan.

This is not you.

You were all about getting rich,
not about planning genocide.

Have I told you
about what it was like

growing up in Kowloon? I know you
were poor.

I know you worked for some
snobby, rich Hong Kong family.

Well, I was a companion.

And that's a nice word
for being a slave.

I had no shoes,
no bed, no clothes

except for what was on my back.

And I walked that little brat
to school every day

and came back
and scrubbed their toilets.

Sunrise to sunset.

I made a dime a day.

I was eight.

Sorry.

I am.

All this time I've known you...

and not once have you
ever mentioned Genghis Khan.

I don't get it.

Did prison do
this to you?

Did you know that Genghis Khan
was an orphan

that came from nothing and then
conquered half the world?

You know,
when I was in prison,

I'd watch all the little gangs
fighting each other for power.

And then I realized,
if we all became one big gang,

we'd be an unstoppable army.

And so the Great Khan was born.

Yeah.

Then the CIA came calling.

Infiltrating terrorist cells
was hard,

so they figured
getting into the gangs

that they sometimes worked with
was easier.

And they came to me
for help getting in.

They underestimated me.

They didn't realize
I was the one in charge

until it was too late.

By then
I'd already flipped the handler,

got all the sordid sins
from their past,

and how to use it against them.

Yo-ho-ho
and a bottle of rum. Hey, Brando, you're good.

You're good.

There he is.

How are you,
you old pirate?

Swashbuckler, as usual.

You brought me a gift?

Soviet Vampirs.

RPG-29s

with optical sights,
plus a dozen TG-29V

thermobaric antipersonnel
rounds and a dozen

tandem-charge HEAT heads.

Henry Jones.

Nice to meet you.

We're looking to get in business
with the Great Khan.

Just a, uh, free sample here
to whet his appetite.

You don't call me for months,

and you turn up out of
the blue expecting me

to walk your inventory
into a new buyer?

Whatever you make,

I want 50%.

I'll give you ten.

Come on.

Forty.Ten.

You know, maybe-maybe 30?

Ten.

All right, brother, ten it is.

Good to have you
back in the game.

Let's load them in the car.
I'm going there right now.

I'll make the introductions.

Oh, no, no, no.
We don't mean to bother.

Word is, we're
moving out of the base soon.

So if you want to get
in, now is the time.

Otherwise, there's no point
bringing this stuff.

We got to go with him.

This could be our
only chance to find Lexi.

The plan was not for the two
of us to go on a suicide mission

against Violet's whole army. I know,

but what are the chances
that they're leaving

just as we're getting here?

Convergence.

It doesn't work that way! Shaw, it's Lexi.

I am going in
with or without you.

Come on, boys.
Bloody hell.

Get a move on.
What's wrong with you?

Barely a day out of retirement,

and you're already
going to get me killed.

Lexi, this is everything
we've always talked about.

You hate the Haves
as much as I do.

I don't...

hate them.

I just wanted a piece
of the pie.

But why have a piece when you
can have the whole bakery?

We can eat all we want,

and then they can starve.

You always used to tell me
not to take things personally.

Remember?

That it got
in the way?

It sounds like you're not taking
your own advice.

Lexi, if you're not my friend...

then you become my enemy.

I'm trying not to be judgmental,

but this whole mass murderer
thing you've got going on

is a real hang-up.

And why do you need to know
who Kate was talking to

at the Vatican?

What... Do you know
what the difference is

between us?

For you,
it was about being a rebel.

For me, it was about survival.

Playtime is over.

If I have to break you
to get the information I need,

then so be it.

Guards!

- Put her in the hole.
- Listen to what you're saying.

Chain her up.

Get off. Get off me!

You can't... Listen to yourself.

I know about Arcanum Gladio.

Bishop Donnelly.

I know that you were involved.

I know that the Great Khan's
using what you did

to blackmail you.

All I need to know now is
what the Khan gets in return.

You realize life...

is not some, uh,
Jack Clancy novel.

If this were a Tom Clancy novel,
I'd do something dramatic,

like this!

You colluded with terrorists
who attacked the Vatican!

Don't you know,
Donnelly,

the Church has no heroes,

only...

martyrs.

Now...

get out.

Danny, you should have seen
my performance. It was epic.

And I'm pretty sure
Cardinal Rossi

just directly threatened
my life.

But while I was distracting him,

I totally stole
his appointment book.

He is leaving Rome
for Hong Kong tonight.

I think he's meeting up
with Violet.

If I can figure out
what Violet wants from him,

I can blow the whistle
on this whole thing

and maybe torpedo Violet's plan
in the process.

I'll call you from Hong Kong.
Chuck out.

You weren't kidding
about the whole team moving out.

Where's everyone going? No idea.

Khan's given the go-ahead
for the final phase,

which means
the payday is coming.

This way.
Mr. At well,

these are the two lads
I was telling you about.

Aiden Shaw and his
partner, Henry Jones.

Mr. Shaw. Your reputation
precedes you.

Pleasure to meet you.

You, I don't know.

But any friend of Ian is
a friend of mine.

We appreciate the warm welcome.

Mm. Ian,
can I steal you for a minute?

Grab a dolly.

We need to take these
to the weapons depot.

That's not Aiden Shaw.

What do you mean?

I've known him for years.

I am one of the few people
who knew Shaw

and lived to tell the tale.

That's not him.

Let's hot-wire a ride.

Drive back to Burma,
call in the CIA from there.

Violet has the Banner, Shaw.

She's into her endgame.

For all we know, she may kill
Lexi before getting out of here.

That guy knew I wasn't
the real Shaw.

They're most definitely
gonna know

we're not supposed
to be here.

When in Rome.

We go in incognito.
We find Lexi.

We get the heck out.

Call the CIA
first chance we get.

That is a terrible idea.

But I've always wanted to be
a ninja.

Nine o'clock.

Those dudes must be coming
from the weapons depot.

We could use some guns.

They're moving Lexi
into someplace

in the south wing.

Heads up. Heads up.

Uh, go, go, go. Fast.

Looks like Simon's pretty firmly
on Team Violet now.

We got to move fast.

Yeah, you could take down a
whole city with all this stuff.

Taking down a city might
be exactly what they're after.

This is a shipping manifest.

Looks like Violet sent
a huge shipment of weapons

to someplace.

I think we got coordinates here,

all labeled "bio hazard."

Wherever that's going,
it's bad news.

Yeah, and there's still a army
between us and Lexi.

About that.

You see that
documentary I sent

about how Genghis Khan
used misdirection?

Yeah. Yeah.

He'd light giant bonfires across
miles and miles of hilltops

to make his army look
ten times bigger than it was.

Yeah.

It's about to get lit.

What are your men
gonna do with Lexi?

She's not giving up her
contact at the Vatican.

I'm done with her.

Now I'm gonna break her.

Whatever it takes.

Why don't you let me
have a word with her?

Thing is,
if I do speak to Lexi,

it'd be really good
to know how the Vatican

fits into your plan.

Are you going to play me now,
too, Simon?

If you don't tell me
your vision,

I can't help you execute it.

I don't need your help.

Pride comes before a fall,
Great Khan.

And the best leaders
delegate.

Let's face it,

I'm the only man here
who can get through to her.

Lexi will give up her contact
at the Vatican.

If she won't talk to me,
she's not going to talk to you.

You betrayed her trust.
I never had it.

And that's a good thing?

Lexi believes I'm driven

almost exclusively
by self-interest.

So if I want to know something,
she'll quid,

and she knows I'll pro quo.

And what exactly do you have
to offer her?

I'm an inveterate liar, darling.

I could offer her anything.

Maybe your head on a plate.

Well, if you can
get her to talk...

I'll tell you everything
you want to know.

Flash-bangs.

Guaranteed to make our ghost
army sound twice as big.

You really are back
in your element.

In kind of a frightening way.

Nothing to be afraid of.

All this
"straight and narrow" stuff,

I've been going about it
all wrong.

I have a gift.

I can be the same guy
I've always been...

I just got to use
my gifts for good.

You know, like Iron Man.

He's always blowing stuff up,

and he's the greatest Avenger
there is.

You mean after Captain America.

Yeah. Sure, man.

Let's make some noise.

Shoo, fly.

Give me one good reason
why I don't tell Violet

about your friend
Father Chuck...

and him helping you,
him aiding your investigation

into her affairs.

Here's a reason.

The minute you tell her

is the minute
you're of no more use to her.

She'll be done with you.

If you're lucky,
you'll be hanging from a hook.

Unless that information propels
me into her inner sanctum.

Well, it's hard to tell
with Violet, isn't it?

The only real question is:

Is that what I really want?

What are you doing here, Lexi?

Are you some, uh...

Trojan horse sent in
to open the fortress gates

from the inside,
see the cavalry ride in

by the cover of dark?

I don't know if
you've heard,

but Danny tends to keep his
plans secret from me as of late.

Please, spare me.

That was an exquisite piece
of theater

you performed in Mongolia,
I assume for Violet's benefit.

Didn't fool me for a minute.

No way.

What, that was real?

Well, that was a good time
for a lovers' tiff, wasn't it?

While being kidnapped
at gunpoint.

I don't need judgment from you,
right hand of the Khan.

Please tell me Danny is here
to save you

from your massive folly.

I don't need Danny
to rescue me.

Well, good for you.

I need him to rescue me.

Although,
if he's not here with an army,

I don't fancy his chances much.

He's here?

You saw him? Certainly someone

who looks very much like him,

standing next
to a very Shaw-like figure.

Listen, Danny and I made a deal
together in Kazakhstan.

I help you. You help me.

Simon, I'm hanging
from a meat hook.

Yes, I noticed. It
looks painful.

What is their plan?!

I don't know!

Showtime.

Whoo!

Lexi, if I return to Violet with
nothing, she's gonna kill me,

then she's gonna kill you. She's gonna kill
you anyway.

You know that!

Simon, cut me down.

Please.

Unfortunately,
I can't take the risk.

Please.

But, uh...

maybe you stole a steak knife

at dinner,
while no one was looking.

After all,
you are an...

expert thief.

Good luck.

Let's go.

The Americans are here! Run!

Simon!

It's Danny McNamara.

Looks like he's
brought help.

Are you planning on
switching sides,

- so they can throw you right back into prison?
- Well, that might be better

than waiting for you to decide
if I've outlived my usefulness.

Have you?

Or you can tell me
Lexi's contact at the Vatican

before I rip it out of her.

His name is
Father Charles Donnelly.

Goes by the name of Chuck.

It's an air assault!

Get to cover!

Now! Run!

Hey. We need to move
the Khan's prisoner.

Where is she?

She's behind
those doors.

Lexi!

One, two, three!

She's gone.

Rope's frayed.
Maybe she freed herself.

Come on. We got
to find her.

Okay, the king's chambers
would have been in there.

That'll be Violet's room.

Yeah, I don't know,

a lot of guys with guns
between us and that door.

I got you covered.

After you.

Happy New Year.

It's gone.

What'd she need it for?

Okay.

No, no, no, no, no, no! - No, no!

Lexi!

It's us.

Oh, my God.

Danny.

Oh, it's...

uh, it's you.

And Shaw.

What the hell is happening
out there?

Sounds like you brought
an entire army with you.

Just us.

Shaw's, uh...

reembracing his gift.

It's kind of awesome.

Good. Uh,
the Banner's gone.

Again.

Where's Violet? I don't know.

Apologize.

Lexi,

- look, about Mongolia...
- No, no. Later, later.

We've got work to do.

Whatever they were planning was
T-minus 15 hours

when I first got here,
so time is of the essence.

We found a manifest.

She sent bio weapons
to these coordinates.

Bioweapons?

I don't think these
are coordinates.

This is our old code.

It's a simple
alphanumeric reference.

Let's see.

Frankfurt.

Bosch.

Conservatory.

Frankfurt Bosch Conservatory.

That's it.

We got to get the word out
to German intelligence.

You do that.

I'm gonna go after Violet,
try and stop her.

Stay alive.

My name's Danny McNamara.
This is a walk-in report.

I need to speak
to Agent Kate Reece's supervisor

at CDC Directorate.

Yeah.

You barely said one word
to me the whole flight.

I hadn't slept
in two days.

Okay. 'Cause I thought maybe
sleeping 15 hours straight

was meant to send me a signal.

It was meant to get me prepared
for whatever horrible attack

Violet is planning

that we weren't able to stop.

Look, you can't
blame yourself.

I'm not blaming myself.
I'm blaming you.

Ah. Had you just come to me

when you figured out
what was happening,

we would have been able
to stop her.

And now who knows
what's gonna happen?

Lex...

I'm sorry I didn't trust you to
do the right thing with Violet.

We wouldn't have known
about the attack

if you hadn't
infiltrated her base.

I messed up.

Look, if anything would
have happened to you...

I'm-I'm glad you're safe.

I've just spent
the last two hours

coming up with arguments to use
against you, and now...

you've gone and wasted
all that time.

You want to try any
of those out?

There's no point now.

I had some real zingers
prepared, let me tell you.

Oh, I know you did.

I'll tell you.

Yeah.

Chuck, where are you?

I'm in Hong Kong
tailing Cardinal Rossi.

Didn't you get my message?

Yeah, I did. I just didn't think
you'd be travelling

across the world
with no one covering your back.

Here, hang low.
I'll have Shaw come meet you.

Fine. Have him meet me
at Jardine House.

That's where Rossi's going.

Will do. Hey, I gotta go.

Keep your head down.
I'll call you as soon as I can.

BND Agent Becker,
Danny McNamara.

Hey.Hello.

Come with me, please.

Father Donnelly!

Yeah? The Khan sends her regards.

It was a biological attack,
as you anticipated.

Just off
the SonnemannstraBße.

The Khan's people deployed
a truck with a dispersal system

and released an unknown toxin
into the air.

So it's safe to assume
that the gas was laced

with a DNA-targeted virus.

Thankfully for us,
your message arrived in time

for us to issue a citywide
shelter-in-place order.

We're not exactly sure

how many people
were affected,

but it could have been
much worse.

This way.

There is more happening.

We started getting alerts
from across the globe

about an hour ago.

Moderate at first.

Citywide cell tower
failure in Sydney.

DWP malfunction
in Tehran and Baghdad.

- Coordinated cyberattacks?
- Yes.

Then the targets got bigger.

Air traffic control went down
in all of Spain.

Director, OT Alert
coming from the United States.

Power outages reported
in New York,

New Jersey, Pennsylvania...

Get me the director

at Langley.Trying.

There's cell
and Internet interference

that's overriding
communications.

Where?

Everywhere.

Everything is frozen!

Someone is hacking
into our system.

This is
a message from the Great Khan.

The long dominance of the West
is at an end.

Is this signal local?

This is not a warning.

It is a declaration of war.

It is being broadcast
all over the world.

50 years ago, the West
tried to create a weapon

of genocide against the East.

They failed to make it work.

I have succeeded,

and have turned your own weapon
against you.

My army has dispersed
a biological agent

across the Western world.

Only those who share
the genetic bloodline

of Genghis Khan will be safe.

All others will be dead
within days.

If my symbol burns in your city,
you and those you love

have already been exposed.

There is no cure.

There is no chance of survival.

Today, the greedy,
once powerful nations

will finally reap
what they have sown.

Your civilizations
will lie in ruins.

Your sins will be repaid.

You have been conquered
by the Great Khan.
