Blood & Treasure (2019–…): Season 2, Episode 12 - The Year of the Rat - full transcript
Previously
on Blood & Treasure...
Everything I've done...
...I've done for a reason.
She sent bio weapons
to these coordinates.
Frankfurt Bosch Conservatory.
That's it.
We got to get the word out
to German intelligence.
Chuck, where are you?
I'm in Hong Kong
tailing Cardinal Rossi.
You hang low.
I'll have Shaw come meet you.
Have him meet me
at Jardine House.
That's where Rossi's going.
Father Donnelly!
The Khan sends her regards.
Hey.
It was a biological attack.
The Khan's people released
an unknown toxin into the air.
There's more happening.
We started getting alerts
from across the globe,
about an hour ago.
Coordinated cyberattacks?
My army has dispersed
a biological agent
across the Western world.
Only those who share
the genetic bloodline
of Genghis Khan will be safe.
You have been conquered
by the Great Khan.
God, look at all this.
All this setup is for survivors.
Remember that.
Those cots could be body bags.
We saved a lot of lives
by finding out
about this attack.
Unless they've already been
infected by the Khan virus.
The thing is,
they don't look sick.
Simon said Violet
was gonna attack
on the Chinese New Year.
So, either he was lying
to us... surprise...
Or she jumped the gun
a day early.
Maybe we forced her
to change her plan.
[sighs] Maybe.
I just can't shake this feeling.
All this East vs. West,
this-this fanaticism,
this terror.
It's not Violet.Lexi.
It's not...
Something else is going on.
You need to see her
for who she is.
Maybe she changed in prison
or maybe Violet's always
been wearing a mask.
I know who she is.
Ms. Vaziri.
Mr. McNamara.
Thank you for helping
with the interviews.Yeah.
Our FBI liaison says
that you have been involved
in the hunt for this terrorist.
Perhaps you will note
something that we have missed.
I'm happy to help.
Is this everyone that was near
the site of exposure?
Yes,
within a three-block radius.
We're having them brought here
for quarantine,
so doctors can determine
who has been infected.
First hundred have arrived,
but we will be ready
for almost 30,000 by nightfall.
And how many infected so far?
Eight dead, 100 sick.
It presents itself
like the flu...
Mild fever, fatigue...
But it is strange.
Ever since the initial attack,
no one is showing
any new symptoms.
Did anyone directly
witness the attack?
There is a witness
who may have some answers,
an executive from an office
building near the attack.
I should warn you, though,
even for a man in crisis,
he is unpleasant.
A German banker.
Normally they're so jovial.
Follow me, please.
You'd better be the ones
that are getting me out of here.
Sir, the authorities
are working on that.
We're here investigating
the attack.
As I said,
I saw a guy run from that truck
right before the blast.
Now please go away.
A guy?
One... one guy?
Could you identify him?
Wouldn't I have done that
already?
I couldn't get a good look
from my office.
[phone buzzes]It's up in the penthouse.
Do you have anything
more important going on
than stopping
a worldwide terror attack?
As a matter of fact, I do.
So please
be useful and get me out of here
so I can get back to work. You're good.
Danny, I'm fine.
Yeah.
If I could punch him,
at least I'd be doing something.
Look, I'm just as frustrated
as you are, believe me.
Your old friend didn't turn out
to be a mass murderer.
Really? Jay Reece?
Oh, yeah.
Sorry.
That only pisses me off more
that I didn't even see it.
Look, we won't stop her
by beating ourselves up.
Okay?
We stopped this
from being much worse
because we worked together, Lex.
Let's keep it going. Okay, yeah.
Let's keep it going.
Let's do this.
Uh, what are we doing?
Well, for starters,
there's this little voice
in the back of my head
that keeps telling me
to focus on that guy.
I mean,
he's the only one in here
not on his phone calling anyone.
The banker said
he saw one attacker
at the moment of detonation.
Which means
potentially one bad guy
could have been swept up
in the quarantine.
Didn't expect the German police
to be so close.
Maybe...
he got trapped.
There's only one way
to find out.
Hey!
Hey! Hey!
Hey!
We want answers.
Don't shoot.
Don't shoot![Lexi speaking German]
Please, we need him alive.
We need him alive.
Stop! Stop!
[cries out][gunfire]
Damn it.
Bugger.
Hey, hey. Becker!
It's okay. They are with us.
Jesus.
Look.
Vancomycin.
It's the same antibiotic
we used at Aralsk-7.
We were protecting ourselves
against anthrax in Kazakhstan.
A bacteria, not a virus.
Violet would know that.
She would know that vancomycin
wouldn't work against the virus.
So, either she intentionally
gave her own soldier
something that wouldn't
protect him,
or...
Or there is no virus.
It was just
some localized bacteria.
Oh, but that doesn't make
any sense, either. To what end?
To do all of this?
I think you were right before.
There's something else
going on here.
And Violet's
always one step ahead.
Forgive my tardiness,
Cardinal Rossi.
I don't like being summoned.
And the Vatican
will not be threatened.
Your Eminence, uh,
we both represent entities
far more powerful
than ourselves,
and we hope to serve them well.
Besides,
the Great Khan doesn't want
to threaten the Vatican.
Only you.
Which brings me to the subject
of our meeting.
The Great Khan has
stolen information
from the giftschrank,
which features
your presence as a member
of the Arcanum Gladio.
The CIA and the Vatican
working together,
during the Cold War, to unleash
a genocide in the East.
What will it take
to get that back?
I don't understand.
You want my ring?
Not your ring, per se,
but what it represents.
It means you control
the Vatican Bank, yes?
And my boss would like to do
some banking.
Oh,
and to sweeten the pot,
we've kidnapped
Father Charles Donnelly
just to make sure
he doesn't blab about
the plan before it's done.
It would be helpful
if you'd make him
disappear forever.
Happy to.
The accounts, as discussed.
Finish this today,
and you'll get this back.
Wake him up.
You're far from home, Father.
Technically, it's Bishop.
What are you doing in Hong Kong?
I'm not gonna tell you anything.
That so?
You think I'm scared of you?
I've dealt with worse
than a roomful of
background rejects
from a Michael Bay movie.
I think we've really got
a martyr on our hands here.
Hey, man, don't...[groans]
I wonder how tough you'll be
when I put this blade
under your kneecap.
I'm needed by the Khan.
Someone's really looking out
for you, Your Eminence.
Bring him downstairs.
If it was anthrax
that killed those people,
the symptoms would be similar.
It would take days
to sort it all out.
So it's a bluff?
Backed up by records she stole
from the CIA and the Vatican
to make it look real.
The virus never worked,
but the world doesn't know that.
Why make up the virus?
Well, she's been inside
our heads.
It's time we get inside hers.
Right, but what could
possibly be her game?
I mean, fake the virus
but carry out the real attacks?
Maybe she just wants chaos,
uh...
No, no, no, no. The...
the Violet I knew,
she's a control freak.
She'd hate actual chaos.
She's type A.
Only if she was controlling
the chaos for some purpose.
Okay, so the question is,
how does the chaos benefit her?
I don't know.
I can't see it.
It's hard to focus
when the whole bloody world
is coming apart.
What if that's the point?[sighs] Hmm.
Look.
These videos that are flooding
social media right now.
This is Rome.
They're saying
that was last night,
but this happened
three years ago.
Chuck and I were at that game.
I remember 'cause we got stuck
on the subway for two hours.
Violet's posting these clips
to make it look like
society's falling apart.
So it's all coordinated.
Genghis Khan wasn't just
a great general.
He was theatrical.Okay.
The idea that his army
were demons from hell...
That was all him.
He would attack
the outer edges of an empire,
let people escape into
the center, spreading panic.
He used calculated rumors and
propaganda to stir up fear.
Now, fear sent people flooding
into the cities for protection,
slowing military response,
clogging the streets,
spreading disease
along with the chaos.
I mean, the battle was half over
before he even arrived.
That's controlled chaos.
Overwhelming the system is
part of the strategy.
[scoffs]The virus isn't real,
but the panic is.
It's a setup.
I think I know what her plan is.
This doesn't scare me, you know.
This isn't the first time
I've been tied up.
That didn't come out right.
You could at least
offer me that chair.
It's just courtesy.
Should've offered me that chair.
It's just courtesy.
[wood clatters on ground][groans]
[laughing]Dude, that was awesome.
I know, right? You were like Macho Man.
Oh, yeah. Let's go.
Come on, little buddy.
Hey, you gonna call me that
every time you rescue me?
You said something
more important
than terror was happening.
What?
I work for
the European Central Bank.
Yes, yes, the penthouse.
You told us. Get to the point.
And I was evacuated
and still not allowed back in,
which has made doing my job
nearly impossible.
Now, these attacks
have caused panic
all across Europe,
but all of
our emergency aid is failing.
What kind of emergency aid?
We should have been flooding
the branches with cash
to avoid a run on the banks,
but these maniacs have attacked
all our shipments.
So, what happens now?
In disasters like this...
9/11 or even the 2008 crash...
Friendly nations
electronically transfer
large deposits
to struggling banks
to prevent total collapse.
That's probably a big number.
Yes, it is.
$1.5 trillion.
This is why
she picked Frankfurt.
She wants to clear out
the European Central Bank.
All these attacks,
the panic, the confusion.
This isn't about terror.
This is a heist.
Becker!
There is no DNA-based virus.
Go.
The Khan is after money.
It's a robbery.
What?
Yes.
Look around you.
We're already dealing
with a biological attack.
- I can't chase theories.
- Agent Becker.
Yes. We got the results back.
He's right.
Doesn't matter if
the DNA attacks are real or not.
It's as she planned.
All of it.
Wait, wait. Bugger.
I think you were right.
About everything.
The transfer isn't working.
The bank servers all over Europe
are being overwhelmed
by DDoS attacks.
Now, there are
countermeasures in place. Hackers
on government payroll
should have been called in.
No, they're all dead.
Violet's army wiped them out
across the globe.
- Still, there are backup systems.
- Destroyed.
By the Khan's attacks on the
server ships in the Atlantic.
Every single one of her attacks
had the appearance of terror
but actually disabled security
measures needed to stop her.
She played us
from the very beginning.
Okay. If the U.S. can't transfer
to Europe,
what's the backup plan?
They reroute. Where?
Right now the only possible
path for the transfer
is through Hong Kong. Hong Kong.
That's it. Yes.
That's where she'll hit.
You need to call,
stop the transfer.
I-I don't have anywhere near
the authorization for that.
Even if I did,
they wouldn't believe me.
This is disastrous.
You must understand.
If $1.5 trillion vanishes
from the economy,
it causes a downward spiral
that will crash the West
if not the world.
People will go to the bank
and their savings will be gone.
This will affect
billions of people.
We need to get to Hong Kong.
All the airports are shut down.
If only we knew someone local
with a private jet.
Of course you do.
Let's go.
You'll be pleased to know
the Cardinal's in line.
It's so much easier to blackmail
someone that has no morals.
Almost everything's in place.
Lexi and Danny have
disappeared from Frankfurt.
But I'm sure that
they still plan
on being a pain in my ass.
They're too far behind you
for them to stop you now.
Lexi's anger clouds
her judgment,
and nothing makes her angrier
than being betrayed.
Which you brilliantly
engineered with Danny as well.
That's her other weakness.
They may have beaten you,
but they will not touch me.
Ah. The last chess piece.
You have one last task,
and then everything
will be ready.
Whatever my Khan needs.
Yeah?
The priest escaped?
What?
How?
Hey.
Treasure Squad, assemble.
Wasn't sure you got our texts.Yeah.
I'm glad you're okay. Get in here, tiger.
[grunts]It's good to see you.
Yeah, we didn't get service back
until we crossed
over Pakistan.Hey.
I'm sorry about Kate. I know.
Me, too.
Hey. Sorry.
I'm glad to see you're okay.
Look, all of Europe is in chaos.
Seems quiet here
in Hong Kong, though.
Well, Chinese New Year
starts tonight.
Violet's terror attacks
in Europe are a world away.
Look, the attacks,
they're not for terror.
She's stealing $1.5 trillion.
D-Damn.
That-That's a lot of money.
Yeah. And she's forcing it
to route through Hong Kong.
She's gonna launder it somehow.
Which means she'll only have
a few options.
Yes? Chuck.
I know how she's gonna do it.
We've been following
Cardinal Rossi.
By the way, thank you
for saving my life
- by chair-punching those guys that kidnapped me.
- Wait, wait, wait, wait.
Wait, what?
Chair-punching? Without me?
We all lead
very exciting lives now.
Listen, the point is,
the Khan's men showed up
to meet with the Cardinal.
And Rossi's on the board
of the Vatican Bank.
Ah, definitely
nothing shady about
a church having its own bank.
Look, it's one of the
biggest banks in the world.
They've got massive holdings,
very little oversight.
And, to be frank,
a pretty shady history
of money-laundering scandals,
some of them even involving
the Mafia.
Wait, Godfather I I I was real?
That film is so underrated.
No, it's not.
Hold up. Guys!
Rossi has the power to oversee
a massive transfer
of funds like that
and to break it up
into so many pieces
that no one would ever notice.
And Violet has a criminal
network all over the world
to make withdrawals.
From any of
over 200,000 Catholic parishes
around the world.
Whatever happened
to all that guilt
Catholics are supposed to have?
Some of us carry all of it.
Touché.
How's Violet going
to get the money
from the Hong Kong bank
to Rossi?
When I stayed back to clean out
Violet's HQ with the CIA,
we found a bunch of these.
This is a remote access tool,
or, for short, a RAT.
Mm-mm. Shaw.Convergence.
Let me see that.
Th-There were
all different sizes,
like she was trying to fit it
into something.
Uh, it can hack signals.
Remotely control devices.
Like a nuclear bomb? No.
Not powerful enough.
It's more of a router
to bounce electronic messages
from one place to another.
Or...
intercept them.
This whole time,
she's needed one thing
to pull off this heist,
and we've been
chasing it down for her.
The Spirit
Banner of Genghis Khan.
She needed a Trojan Horse.
A way to get the remote
access tool inside the walls
of the one place she knew
she couldn't go.
The impenetrable
office of the head
of the Hong Kong
Monetary Authority...
...who also happens to be
a Khan fanatic
and who is controlling the flow
of $1.5 trillion
through his office tonight.
Arthur Chan.
That's why she wanted me
to meet him instead of her.
She already knew him.
I bet she got the idea
for this whole heist
by being the one who sold him
the fake Banner
in the first place.
So, we are saying "Jen-ghis"
now?
She does.
It's the right way.
Mm.
Ah.
Mr. Chan, so good to see you.
With all this madness
in the West,
I almost couldn't make it.
I'm surprised you picked
somewhere so public.
Yeah, I didn't choose the place.
I apologize about insisting
the sale of the Banner
has to happen today.
But it's not the best time,
you know.
With the "most wanted
terrorists" and all.
Well, this Great Khan has
certainly taken over
that position from you.
I'm still very much
a wanted man, I assure you.
Just show me the Banner.
Someone else picked
the case, too?
Uh, options were limited.
Subtle.
Finally mine.
Once I have it authenticated,
you'll have your money.
Double the price, as
we discussed. Yes, yes.
Just in time for me
to hang it on my wall,
right before
the Year of the Rat begins.
Ah, yes.
So everything can be in place
before the New Year
ensures the coming
year's prosperity.
To your continued
good fortune, Mr. Chan.
Great.
Guys.
Vince's contacts told him
that Chan's throwing
a New Year's party tonight
at the Royal Starling Hotel.
He got us on the list,
but we'll need to change.
White tie only.
I, of course, can handle that.
It's best to have a tailor
on standby in every country.
Well, you guys go to the party,
convince Chan to cancel
the transfer.
I'll deal with Rossi.
You'll need backup.
Chuck can handle himself.
Thank you.
He's not the same
soft, mostly useless
cannon fodder
you've always known.
He's a kick-ass bishop now.
You couldn't have said that
without the middle part?
No. You do heal slow.
She's right, though.
I got this. 100%.
And there's no way in hell
that Violet doesn't have
a backup plan
with Chan at the center of it,
so as always, race against time.
Well, you do your part,
I'll do mine.
All right, let's give 'em hell.
Sorry, Chuck.
It's cool.
Your Eminence, this is an honor.
Ah.
Apologies for interrupting
your New Year's.
Please.
The Vatican's accounts
are always a top priority.
I'll need a...
a private banking terminal.
Please.[alarm sounds]
Donnelly?
What is the meaning of this?
Of this?
Oh, of this?
It's actually better
in the original Latin,
but, uh, I'll sum it up for you.
This is a papal interdict
prohibiting you
from transferring
any funds into or out of
any Vatican bank account.
So, all of that blood money
that you were trying to launder
stays right where it is.
What can I say?
Me and Papa are tight.
You've been defrocked, Cardinal.
Oh, I'm sorry.
Mr. Rossi.
I... underestimated you.
That's the last thing
Kate ever said to me.
She was my friend.
And she was murdered by
the person you decided to help.
You could've come clean
and stopped all of this.
She'd still be alive.
If the world finds out
what we did, what we covered up,
they'll all leave us.
No.
I'm proof of that.
Take this man back to Rome.
He's got a lot to answer for.
[quiet chatter][classical music playing]
These colonial hotels
have been around
since the British took over
during the first Opium War.
And Chan chose to throw
a party in one.
How appropriate.
Wait.
We're guests of Tran Quoc Tuan.
That's funny.
Uh, Tuan was a legendary
imperial prince.
Ah. Held off two invasions
by Khan armies in the
13th century, so...
History jokes.
They never get old.
Masks only.
Hey, I wanted to be the Tiger.
You can be the Tiger.
I don't care for it, anyway.
I've seen how that ends.
The Rat.
Hmm.
If you say "convergence,"
I'll kill you.
Tigers let their actions
speak for them.[phone buzzes]
Oh, oh.
Chuck stopped the transfer
into the Vatican Bank.
Rossi's in custody.
That's my little buddy.
So, uh, we're done, right?
No, no.
W-We won.
Not even close.
Violet's getting the same news.
And if she can't get her money
with Rossi's connections,
she'll get it with Chan's blood.
She'll be coming
after the Banner.
If she's not here already.
We need to find Chan first.
Stay alert, everyone.
Any one of these masks
could be Chan
or someone trying to kidnap him.
Or just a bunch of rich brats.
God, I'd love to punch them all
in the face.
Lex, as per usual,
let's hold off on the punching
until we know who's who.
You don't have fun.
I am definitely getting the vibe
that we're not the only
partygoers working tonight.
I just clocked two sets
of bad guys pretending to drink
while eyeing the exits.
Spotted a shoulder holster
under this waiter's
jacket over here.
We should assume everyone
in this room is working
for the Khan
until we know otherwise.
Well, it might
help to narrow things down
if we focus on masks
specific to Chan.
That's a good idea.
A man like Chan can't help
but make a statement,
even in disguise.
Hmm, monkey mask.
In the Chinese zodiac, smart,
quick, entrepreneurial.
And definitely not Chan.
Got a horse mask.
Chan does love the ponies.
Nope, dude's got a ponytail.
Really committed
to the whole bit.
I got him.
North end of the floor.
Are you sure?
Mm-hmm.
He's the only one in here
wearing
not just a mask
but an actual relic.
Namsrai,
the Mongolian God of Wealth,
about 800 years old.
A little on the nose for someone
who currently has
a trillion dollars
flowing through his office.
We need to get him out of here
without too much exposure.
Oh, darling, leave that to me.
Don't I know you?
Ah, yes, the stables.
Did you ever find your steed?
As a matter of fact,
I'm still on the hunt.
What are you doing here?
Well, this is my party.
Huh.
Perhaps you can
help me get a drink.
It would be my pleasure.
Please.
Why don't we go in here?
Arthur Chan.
We need to talk.
Help us,
or you'll be dead by morning.
You two know each other?
Put that together, did you?
Wait, you're that idiot
that attacked me
in my parking garage.
Where's your stupid accent?
That was pure Statham.Danny.
I nailed it. Cut to the chase.
Chan, we're here
to save your live.
Let me guess, earlier today
you bought
the Soul of Genghis Khan
from Simon Hardwick.
How could you know that?
It's the only logical last piece
of the Khan's plan.
The largest heist of all time,
and you are at the center of it.
That transfer you authorized...
It's not making it to Frankfurt.
You're insane.
That bailout's saving
the entire Western world
from complete collapse.
It's being robbed.
Simon Hardwick's employer is
the Great Khan.
Yeah, and she is using
the Banner Simon sold you
to hijack that transfer.
It's a Trojan horse
for a remote access tool.
It took over your computer
to reroute all that money.
But we stopped it.
Now we need you to put the money
back where it belongs
before the whole bloody
system... I can't.
I can't access the money.
Wait, what do you mean?
Where-where is it?
If she's using
a remote access tool as you say,
and it can't complete
the transfer,
it will store the information,
so the money is stuck
right there.
Millions of SWIFT bank deposits
locked inside the Banner.
You mean $1.5 trillion
is trapped inside
the Soul of Genghis Khan?
It was already priceless.
Well, now it's priceless
plus a trillion.
We need to get that banner
before Violet finds out
what we've done.
Uh, guys.
I think we're too late for that.
The Khan's already here.
We're running out of time.
Hmm.
May I say, I think you look
like a vision this evening,
even if you do have a knife
strapped to your inner thigh.
I'll just ask,
is that a standard accessory?
Are you planning to use it?
Both. Great.
Rossi gets caught on the
night of our transfer?
It's no coincidence.
You don't think McNamara
and Vaziri
have got anything to do with it?
They're on the other side
of the world by now,
chasing their tails.
They're here. I know it.
Tell our men to find Chan.
And kill Danny and Lexi
on sight.
You're the only person
who can get inside that room.
Come with us now,
and we can stop this
before anyone else gets hurt.
My security can deal with her.
She's got a
bloody army with her.
And she won't leave until she
gets what she came here for.
Me?
Well,
technically all she needs is
your eye and your hand.
The rest of you just,
well, slows her down.
I accept your offer.
Smart move. Okay.
Let's see if we can get out
of here without a gunfight.
I got an idea.
Shaw, we need a way out.
That's him.
In a priceless Namsrai.
Typical.
Hey, Arthur.
Arthur.
What's going on?
We're too late.
They've already got him.
Hey, hey.
Where are you going?
The Dragon Gate.
You can't go.
I'll go.
There are cameras everywhere.
I thought the whole plan is
that nobody's supposed to know
who the Great Khan is.
You head out there,
and everybody will.
Fine.
I'll send a detail with you.
For your protection.
I look forward to celebrating
with you later.
This is so much easier to do
while walking.
What does that mean?
It's a long story.
We should hurry.
Don't touch anything.
The transfer was initiated.
But it was halted
before it completed.
$1.5 trillion,
and it's all in there
because I had
to possess this relic.
The global economy will crumble,
and it's all my fault.
Hey, Arthur.
It is not too late.
We get the Banner
to the authorities,
and all that money goes back
to where it's supposed to be.
And the Khan is defeated.
All right.
Let's go.
Shaw, we have the Banner
and we're headed down.
Figure Violet's not far behind,
so I planned
a more subtle escape.
Meet me down below.
That's a good idea.
We'll see you in two minutes.
We have to be careful.
Once we're outside,
the streets will be
filled with people.
Perfect for trying to steal away
with a priceless
eight-foot golden spear.
The subbasement's
right around the corner.
I need to contact the bank,
the international authorities,
everyone,
as soon as possible.
We need to get as far
from here as we can first.
What happened?
Should auld acquaintance
be forgot.
Poor Arthur.
At least he got to see
the New Year off with a bang.
Hong Kong Police!
Put down your weapons!
Did you call the cops? I thought you did.
Actually, I called them.
On your knees, Khan!
I am not the Khan.
I-I am not the Khan! Okay?
Wait, he's...
he's actually telling the truth.
Yeah, I've been on your side
this whole time.
You've been on your side
this whole time.
We'll get this all sorted out
at the station.
Of course she
set me up to be her fall guy.
She set me up
right from the start.
And this was my one
chance to escape.
Well, I did warn you, didn't I?
Guys, I just followed a
bunch of her men through the caves.
They didn't see me,
but I've got bad news.
What, worse than Chan being
killed and us getting arrested?
Way worse.
That attack on
the Russian military base,
she definitely stole a nuke.
Oh, boy. Oh, God.
Violet's going after that banner
with everything she has.
And once she has it,
she'll blow up Hong Kong
to cover her tracks.
We found where they're taking
Simon Hardwick and my banner.
My Khan.
I want it back.
Captioning sponsored by CBS
And FORD.
We go further, so you can.
on Blood & Treasure...
Everything I've done...
...I've done for a reason.
She sent bio weapons
to these coordinates.
Frankfurt Bosch Conservatory.
That's it.
We got to get the word out
to German intelligence.
Chuck, where are you?
I'm in Hong Kong
tailing Cardinal Rossi.
You hang low.
I'll have Shaw come meet you.
Have him meet me
at Jardine House.
That's where Rossi's going.
Father Donnelly!
The Khan sends her regards.
Hey.
It was a biological attack.
The Khan's people released
an unknown toxin into the air.
There's more happening.
We started getting alerts
from across the globe,
about an hour ago.
Coordinated cyberattacks?
My army has dispersed
a biological agent
across the Western world.
Only those who share
the genetic bloodline
of Genghis Khan will be safe.
You have been conquered
by the Great Khan.
God, look at all this.
All this setup is for survivors.
Remember that.
Those cots could be body bags.
We saved a lot of lives
by finding out
about this attack.
Unless they've already been
infected by the Khan virus.
The thing is,
they don't look sick.
Simon said Violet
was gonna attack
on the Chinese New Year.
So, either he was lying
to us... surprise...
Or she jumped the gun
a day early.
Maybe we forced her
to change her plan.
[sighs] Maybe.
I just can't shake this feeling.
All this East vs. West,
this-this fanaticism,
this terror.
It's not Violet.Lexi.
It's not...
Something else is going on.
You need to see her
for who she is.
Maybe she changed in prison
or maybe Violet's always
been wearing a mask.
I know who she is.
Ms. Vaziri.
Mr. McNamara.
Thank you for helping
with the interviews.Yeah.
Our FBI liaison says
that you have been involved
in the hunt for this terrorist.
Perhaps you will note
something that we have missed.
I'm happy to help.
Is this everyone that was near
the site of exposure?
Yes,
within a three-block radius.
We're having them brought here
for quarantine,
so doctors can determine
who has been infected.
First hundred have arrived,
but we will be ready
for almost 30,000 by nightfall.
And how many infected so far?
Eight dead, 100 sick.
It presents itself
like the flu...
Mild fever, fatigue...
But it is strange.
Ever since the initial attack,
no one is showing
any new symptoms.
Did anyone directly
witness the attack?
There is a witness
who may have some answers,
an executive from an office
building near the attack.
I should warn you, though,
even for a man in crisis,
he is unpleasant.
A German banker.
Normally they're so jovial.
Follow me, please.
You'd better be the ones
that are getting me out of here.
Sir, the authorities
are working on that.
We're here investigating
the attack.
As I said,
I saw a guy run from that truck
right before the blast.
Now please go away.
A guy?
One... one guy?
Could you identify him?
Wouldn't I have done that
already?
I couldn't get a good look
from my office.
[phone buzzes]It's up in the penthouse.
Do you have anything
more important going on
than stopping
a worldwide terror attack?
As a matter of fact, I do.
So please
be useful and get me out of here
so I can get back to work. You're good.
Danny, I'm fine.
Yeah.
If I could punch him,
at least I'd be doing something.
Look, I'm just as frustrated
as you are, believe me.
Your old friend didn't turn out
to be a mass murderer.
Really? Jay Reece?
Oh, yeah.
Sorry.
That only pisses me off more
that I didn't even see it.
Look, we won't stop her
by beating ourselves up.
Okay?
We stopped this
from being much worse
because we worked together, Lex.
Let's keep it going. Okay, yeah.
Let's keep it going.
Let's do this.
Uh, what are we doing?
Well, for starters,
there's this little voice
in the back of my head
that keeps telling me
to focus on that guy.
I mean,
he's the only one in here
not on his phone calling anyone.
The banker said
he saw one attacker
at the moment of detonation.
Which means
potentially one bad guy
could have been swept up
in the quarantine.
Didn't expect the German police
to be so close.
Maybe...
he got trapped.
There's only one way
to find out.
Hey!
Hey! Hey!
Hey!
We want answers.
Don't shoot.
Don't shoot![Lexi speaking German]
Please, we need him alive.
We need him alive.
Stop! Stop!
[cries out][gunfire]
Damn it.
Bugger.
Hey, hey. Becker!
It's okay. They are with us.
Jesus.
Look.
Vancomycin.
It's the same antibiotic
we used at Aralsk-7.
We were protecting ourselves
against anthrax in Kazakhstan.
A bacteria, not a virus.
Violet would know that.
She would know that vancomycin
wouldn't work against the virus.
So, either she intentionally
gave her own soldier
something that wouldn't
protect him,
or...
Or there is no virus.
It was just
some localized bacteria.
Oh, but that doesn't make
any sense, either. To what end?
To do all of this?
I think you were right before.
There's something else
going on here.
And Violet's
always one step ahead.
Forgive my tardiness,
Cardinal Rossi.
I don't like being summoned.
And the Vatican
will not be threatened.
Your Eminence, uh,
we both represent entities
far more powerful
than ourselves,
and we hope to serve them well.
Besides,
the Great Khan doesn't want
to threaten the Vatican.
Only you.
Which brings me to the subject
of our meeting.
The Great Khan has
stolen information
from the giftschrank,
which features
your presence as a member
of the Arcanum Gladio.
The CIA and the Vatican
working together,
during the Cold War, to unleash
a genocide in the East.
What will it take
to get that back?
I don't understand.
You want my ring?
Not your ring, per se,
but what it represents.
It means you control
the Vatican Bank, yes?
And my boss would like to do
some banking.
Oh,
and to sweeten the pot,
we've kidnapped
Father Charles Donnelly
just to make sure
he doesn't blab about
the plan before it's done.
It would be helpful
if you'd make him
disappear forever.
Happy to.
The accounts, as discussed.
Finish this today,
and you'll get this back.
Wake him up.
You're far from home, Father.
Technically, it's Bishop.
What are you doing in Hong Kong?
I'm not gonna tell you anything.
That so?
You think I'm scared of you?
I've dealt with worse
than a roomful of
background rejects
from a Michael Bay movie.
I think we've really got
a martyr on our hands here.
Hey, man, don't...[groans]
I wonder how tough you'll be
when I put this blade
under your kneecap.
I'm needed by the Khan.
Someone's really looking out
for you, Your Eminence.
Bring him downstairs.
If it was anthrax
that killed those people,
the symptoms would be similar.
It would take days
to sort it all out.
So it's a bluff?
Backed up by records she stole
from the CIA and the Vatican
to make it look real.
The virus never worked,
but the world doesn't know that.
Why make up the virus?
Well, she's been inside
our heads.
It's time we get inside hers.
Right, but what could
possibly be her game?
I mean, fake the virus
but carry out the real attacks?
Maybe she just wants chaos,
uh...
No, no, no, no. The...
the Violet I knew,
she's a control freak.
She'd hate actual chaos.
She's type A.
Only if she was controlling
the chaos for some purpose.
Okay, so the question is,
how does the chaos benefit her?
I don't know.
I can't see it.
It's hard to focus
when the whole bloody world
is coming apart.
What if that's the point?[sighs] Hmm.
Look.
These videos that are flooding
social media right now.
This is Rome.
They're saying
that was last night,
but this happened
three years ago.
Chuck and I were at that game.
I remember 'cause we got stuck
on the subway for two hours.
Violet's posting these clips
to make it look like
society's falling apart.
So it's all coordinated.
Genghis Khan wasn't just
a great general.
He was theatrical.Okay.
The idea that his army
were demons from hell...
That was all him.
He would attack
the outer edges of an empire,
let people escape into
the center, spreading panic.
He used calculated rumors and
propaganda to stir up fear.
Now, fear sent people flooding
into the cities for protection,
slowing military response,
clogging the streets,
spreading disease
along with the chaos.
I mean, the battle was half over
before he even arrived.
That's controlled chaos.
Overwhelming the system is
part of the strategy.
[scoffs]The virus isn't real,
but the panic is.
It's a setup.
I think I know what her plan is.
This doesn't scare me, you know.
This isn't the first time
I've been tied up.
That didn't come out right.
You could at least
offer me that chair.
It's just courtesy.
Should've offered me that chair.
It's just courtesy.
[wood clatters on ground][groans]
[laughing]Dude, that was awesome.
I know, right? You were like Macho Man.
Oh, yeah. Let's go.
Come on, little buddy.
Hey, you gonna call me that
every time you rescue me?
You said something
more important
than terror was happening.
What?
I work for
the European Central Bank.
Yes, yes, the penthouse.
You told us. Get to the point.
And I was evacuated
and still not allowed back in,
which has made doing my job
nearly impossible.
Now, these attacks
have caused panic
all across Europe,
but all of
our emergency aid is failing.
What kind of emergency aid?
We should have been flooding
the branches with cash
to avoid a run on the banks,
but these maniacs have attacked
all our shipments.
So, what happens now?
In disasters like this...
9/11 or even the 2008 crash...
Friendly nations
electronically transfer
large deposits
to struggling banks
to prevent total collapse.
That's probably a big number.
Yes, it is.
$1.5 trillion.
This is why
she picked Frankfurt.
She wants to clear out
the European Central Bank.
All these attacks,
the panic, the confusion.
This isn't about terror.
This is a heist.
Becker!
There is no DNA-based virus.
Go.
The Khan is after money.
It's a robbery.
What?
Yes.
Look around you.
We're already dealing
with a biological attack.
- I can't chase theories.
- Agent Becker.
Yes. We got the results back.
He's right.
Doesn't matter if
the DNA attacks are real or not.
It's as she planned.
All of it.
Wait, wait. Bugger.
I think you were right.
About everything.
The transfer isn't working.
The bank servers all over Europe
are being overwhelmed
by DDoS attacks.
Now, there are
countermeasures in place. Hackers
on government payroll
should have been called in.
No, they're all dead.
Violet's army wiped them out
across the globe.
- Still, there are backup systems.
- Destroyed.
By the Khan's attacks on the
server ships in the Atlantic.
Every single one of her attacks
had the appearance of terror
but actually disabled security
measures needed to stop her.
She played us
from the very beginning.
Okay. If the U.S. can't transfer
to Europe,
what's the backup plan?
They reroute. Where?
Right now the only possible
path for the transfer
is through Hong Kong. Hong Kong.
That's it. Yes.
That's where she'll hit.
You need to call,
stop the transfer.
I-I don't have anywhere near
the authorization for that.
Even if I did,
they wouldn't believe me.
This is disastrous.
You must understand.
If $1.5 trillion vanishes
from the economy,
it causes a downward spiral
that will crash the West
if not the world.
People will go to the bank
and their savings will be gone.
This will affect
billions of people.
We need to get to Hong Kong.
All the airports are shut down.
If only we knew someone local
with a private jet.
Of course you do.
Let's go.
You'll be pleased to know
the Cardinal's in line.
It's so much easier to blackmail
someone that has no morals.
Almost everything's in place.
Lexi and Danny have
disappeared from Frankfurt.
But I'm sure that
they still plan
on being a pain in my ass.
They're too far behind you
for them to stop you now.
Lexi's anger clouds
her judgment,
and nothing makes her angrier
than being betrayed.
Which you brilliantly
engineered with Danny as well.
That's her other weakness.
They may have beaten you,
but they will not touch me.
Ah. The last chess piece.
You have one last task,
and then everything
will be ready.
Whatever my Khan needs.
Yeah?
The priest escaped?
What?
How?
Hey.
Treasure Squad, assemble.
Wasn't sure you got our texts.Yeah.
I'm glad you're okay. Get in here, tiger.
[grunts]It's good to see you.
Yeah, we didn't get service back
until we crossed
over Pakistan.Hey.
I'm sorry about Kate. I know.
Me, too.
Hey. Sorry.
I'm glad to see you're okay.
Look, all of Europe is in chaos.
Seems quiet here
in Hong Kong, though.
Well, Chinese New Year
starts tonight.
Violet's terror attacks
in Europe are a world away.
Look, the attacks,
they're not for terror.
She's stealing $1.5 trillion.
D-Damn.
That-That's a lot of money.
Yeah. And she's forcing it
to route through Hong Kong.
She's gonna launder it somehow.
Which means she'll only have
a few options.
Yes? Chuck.
I know how she's gonna do it.
We've been following
Cardinal Rossi.
By the way, thank you
for saving my life
- by chair-punching those guys that kidnapped me.
- Wait, wait, wait, wait.
Wait, what?
Chair-punching? Without me?
We all lead
very exciting lives now.
Listen, the point is,
the Khan's men showed up
to meet with the Cardinal.
And Rossi's on the board
of the Vatican Bank.
Ah, definitely
nothing shady about
a church having its own bank.
Look, it's one of the
biggest banks in the world.
They've got massive holdings,
very little oversight.
And, to be frank,
a pretty shady history
of money-laundering scandals,
some of them even involving
the Mafia.
Wait, Godfather I I I was real?
That film is so underrated.
No, it's not.
Hold up. Guys!
Rossi has the power to oversee
a massive transfer
of funds like that
and to break it up
into so many pieces
that no one would ever notice.
And Violet has a criminal
network all over the world
to make withdrawals.
From any of
over 200,000 Catholic parishes
around the world.
Whatever happened
to all that guilt
Catholics are supposed to have?
Some of us carry all of it.
Touché.
How's Violet going
to get the money
from the Hong Kong bank
to Rossi?
When I stayed back to clean out
Violet's HQ with the CIA,
we found a bunch of these.
This is a remote access tool,
or, for short, a RAT.
Mm-mm. Shaw.Convergence.
Let me see that.
Th-There were
all different sizes,
like she was trying to fit it
into something.
Uh, it can hack signals.
Remotely control devices.
Like a nuclear bomb? No.
Not powerful enough.
It's more of a router
to bounce electronic messages
from one place to another.
Or...
intercept them.
This whole time,
she's needed one thing
to pull off this heist,
and we've been
chasing it down for her.
The Spirit
Banner of Genghis Khan.
She needed a Trojan Horse.
A way to get the remote
access tool inside the walls
of the one place she knew
she couldn't go.
The impenetrable
office of the head
of the Hong Kong
Monetary Authority...
...who also happens to be
a Khan fanatic
and who is controlling the flow
of $1.5 trillion
through his office tonight.
Arthur Chan.
That's why she wanted me
to meet him instead of her.
She already knew him.
I bet she got the idea
for this whole heist
by being the one who sold him
the fake Banner
in the first place.
So, we are saying "Jen-ghis"
now?
She does.
It's the right way.
Mm.
Ah.
Mr. Chan, so good to see you.
With all this madness
in the West,
I almost couldn't make it.
I'm surprised you picked
somewhere so public.
Yeah, I didn't choose the place.
I apologize about insisting
the sale of the Banner
has to happen today.
But it's not the best time,
you know.
With the "most wanted
terrorists" and all.
Well, this Great Khan has
certainly taken over
that position from you.
I'm still very much
a wanted man, I assure you.
Just show me the Banner.
Someone else picked
the case, too?
Uh, options were limited.
Subtle.
Finally mine.
Once I have it authenticated,
you'll have your money.
Double the price, as
we discussed. Yes, yes.
Just in time for me
to hang it on my wall,
right before
the Year of the Rat begins.
Ah, yes.
So everything can be in place
before the New Year
ensures the coming
year's prosperity.
To your continued
good fortune, Mr. Chan.
Great.
Guys.
Vince's contacts told him
that Chan's throwing
a New Year's party tonight
at the Royal Starling Hotel.
He got us on the list,
but we'll need to change.
White tie only.
I, of course, can handle that.
It's best to have a tailor
on standby in every country.
Well, you guys go to the party,
convince Chan to cancel
the transfer.
I'll deal with Rossi.
You'll need backup.
Chuck can handle himself.
Thank you.
He's not the same
soft, mostly useless
cannon fodder
you've always known.
He's a kick-ass bishop now.
You couldn't have said that
without the middle part?
No. You do heal slow.
She's right, though.
I got this. 100%.
And there's no way in hell
that Violet doesn't have
a backup plan
with Chan at the center of it,
so as always, race against time.
Well, you do your part,
I'll do mine.
All right, let's give 'em hell.
Sorry, Chuck.
It's cool.
Your Eminence, this is an honor.
Ah.
Apologies for interrupting
your New Year's.
Please.
The Vatican's accounts
are always a top priority.
I'll need a...
a private banking terminal.
Please.[alarm sounds]
Donnelly?
What is the meaning of this?
Of this?
Oh, of this?
It's actually better
in the original Latin,
but, uh, I'll sum it up for you.
This is a papal interdict
prohibiting you
from transferring
any funds into or out of
any Vatican bank account.
So, all of that blood money
that you were trying to launder
stays right where it is.
What can I say?
Me and Papa are tight.
You've been defrocked, Cardinal.
Oh, I'm sorry.
Mr. Rossi.
I... underestimated you.
That's the last thing
Kate ever said to me.
She was my friend.
And she was murdered by
the person you decided to help.
You could've come clean
and stopped all of this.
She'd still be alive.
If the world finds out
what we did, what we covered up,
they'll all leave us.
No.
I'm proof of that.
Take this man back to Rome.
He's got a lot to answer for.
[quiet chatter][classical music playing]
These colonial hotels
have been around
since the British took over
during the first Opium War.
And Chan chose to throw
a party in one.
How appropriate.
Wait.
We're guests of Tran Quoc Tuan.
That's funny.
Uh, Tuan was a legendary
imperial prince.
Ah. Held off two invasions
by Khan armies in the
13th century, so...
History jokes.
They never get old.
Masks only.
Hey, I wanted to be the Tiger.
You can be the Tiger.
I don't care for it, anyway.
I've seen how that ends.
The Rat.
Hmm.
If you say "convergence,"
I'll kill you.
Tigers let their actions
speak for them.[phone buzzes]
Oh, oh.
Chuck stopped the transfer
into the Vatican Bank.
Rossi's in custody.
That's my little buddy.
So, uh, we're done, right?
No, no.
W-We won.
Not even close.
Violet's getting the same news.
And if she can't get her money
with Rossi's connections,
she'll get it with Chan's blood.
She'll be coming
after the Banner.
If she's not here already.
We need to find Chan first.
Stay alert, everyone.
Any one of these masks
could be Chan
or someone trying to kidnap him.
Or just a bunch of rich brats.
God, I'd love to punch them all
in the face.
Lex, as per usual,
let's hold off on the punching
until we know who's who.
You don't have fun.
I am definitely getting the vibe
that we're not the only
partygoers working tonight.
I just clocked two sets
of bad guys pretending to drink
while eyeing the exits.
Spotted a shoulder holster
under this waiter's
jacket over here.
We should assume everyone
in this room is working
for the Khan
until we know otherwise.
Well, it might
help to narrow things down
if we focus on masks
specific to Chan.
That's a good idea.
A man like Chan can't help
but make a statement,
even in disguise.
Hmm, monkey mask.
In the Chinese zodiac, smart,
quick, entrepreneurial.
And definitely not Chan.
Got a horse mask.
Chan does love the ponies.
Nope, dude's got a ponytail.
Really committed
to the whole bit.
I got him.
North end of the floor.
Are you sure?
Mm-hmm.
He's the only one in here
wearing
not just a mask
but an actual relic.
Namsrai,
the Mongolian God of Wealth,
about 800 years old.
A little on the nose for someone
who currently has
a trillion dollars
flowing through his office.
We need to get him out of here
without too much exposure.
Oh, darling, leave that to me.
Don't I know you?
Ah, yes, the stables.
Did you ever find your steed?
As a matter of fact,
I'm still on the hunt.
What are you doing here?
Well, this is my party.
Huh.
Perhaps you can
help me get a drink.
It would be my pleasure.
Please.
Why don't we go in here?
Arthur Chan.
We need to talk.
Help us,
or you'll be dead by morning.
You two know each other?
Put that together, did you?
Wait, you're that idiot
that attacked me
in my parking garage.
Where's your stupid accent?
That was pure Statham.Danny.
I nailed it. Cut to the chase.
Chan, we're here
to save your live.
Let me guess, earlier today
you bought
the Soul of Genghis Khan
from Simon Hardwick.
How could you know that?
It's the only logical last piece
of the Khan's plan.
The largest heist of all time,
and you are at the center of it.
That transfer you authorized...
It's not making it to Frankfurt.
You're insane.
That bailout's saving
the entire Western world
from complete collapse.
It's being robbed.
Simon Hardwick's employer is
the Great Khan.
Yeah, and she is using
the Banner Simon sold you
to hijack that transfer.
It's a Trojan horse
for a remote access tool.
It took over your computer
to reroute all that money.
But we stopped it.
Now we need you to put the money
back where it belongs
before the whole bloody
system... I can't.
I can't access the money.
Wait, what do you mean?
Where-where is it?
If she's using
a remote access tool as you say,
and it can't complete
the transfer,
it will store the information,
so the money is stuck
right there.
Millions of SWIFT bank deposits
locked inside the Banner.
You mean $1.5 trillion
is trapped inside
the Soul of Genghis Khan?
It was already priceless.
Well, now it's priceless
plus a trillion.
We need to get that banner
before Violet finds out
what we've done.
Uh, guys.
I think we're too late for that.
The Khan's already here.
We're running out of time.
Hmm.
May I say, I think you look
like a vision this evening,
even if you do have a knife
strapped to your inner thigh.
I'll just ask,
is that a standard accessory?
Are you planning to use it?
Both. Great.
Rossi gets caught on the
night of our transfer?
It's no coincidence.
You don't think McNamara
and Vaziri
have got anything to do with it?
They're on the other side
of the world by now,
chasing their tails.
They're here. I know it.
Tell our men to find Chan.
And kill Danny and Lexi
on sight.
You're the only person
who can get inside that room.
Come with us now,
and we can stop this
before anyone else gets hurt.
My security can deal with her.
She's got a
bloody army with her.
And she won't leave until she
gets what she came here for.
Me?
Well,
technically all she needs is
your eye and your hand.
The rest of you just,
well, slows her down.
I accept your offer.
Smart move. Okay.
Let's see if we can get out
of here without a gunfight.
I got an idea.
Shaw, we need a way out.
That's him.
In a priceless Namsrai.
Typical.
Hey, Arthur.
Arthur.
What's going on?
We're too late.
They've already got him.
Hey, hey.
Where are you going?
The Dragon Gate.
You can't go.
I'll go.
There are cameras everywhere.
I thought the whole plan is
that nobody's supposed to know
who the Great Khan is.
You head out there,
and everybody will.
Fine.
I'll send a detail with you.
For your protection.
I look forward to celebrating
with you later.
This is so much easier to do
while walking.
What does that mean?
It's a long story.
We should hurry.
Don't touch anything.
The transfer was initiated.
But it was halted
before it completed.
$1.5 trillion,
and it's all in there
because I had
to possess this relic.
The global economy will crumble,
and it's all my fault.
Hey, Arthur.
It is not too late.
We get the Banner
to the authorities,
and all that money goes back
to where it's supposed to be.
And the Khan is defeated.
All right.
Let's go.
Shaw, we have the Banner
and we're headed down.
Figure Violet's not far behind,
so I planned
a more subtle escape.
Meet me down below.
That's a good idea.
We'll see you in two minutes.
We have to be careful.
Once we're outside,
the streets will be
filled with people.
Perfect for trying to steal away
with a priceless
eight-foot golden spear.
The subbasement's
right around the corner.
I need to contact the bank,
the international authorities,
everyone,
as soon as possible.
We need to get as far
from here as we can first.
What happened?
Should auld acquaintance
be forgot.
Poor Arthur.
At least he got to see
the New Year off with a bang.
Hong Kong Police!
Put down your weapons!
Did you call the cops? I thought you did.
Actually, I called them.
On your knees, Khan!
I am not the Khan.
I-I am not the Khan! Okay?
Wait, he's...
he's actually telling the truth.
Yeah, I've been on your side
this whole time.
You've been on your side
this whole time.
We'll get this all sorted out
at the station.
Of course she
set me up to be her fall guy.
She set me up
right from the start.
And this was my one
chance to escape.
Well, I did warn you, didn't I?
Guys, I just followed a
bunch of her men through the caves.
They didn't see me,
but I've got bad news.
What, worse than Chan being
killed and us getting arrested?
Way worse.
That attack on
the Russian military base,
she definitely stole a nuke.
Oh, boy. Oh, God.
Violet's going after that banner
with everything she has.
And once she has it,
she'll blow up Hong Kong
to cover her tracks.
We found where they're taking
Simon Hardwick and my banner.
My Khan.
I want it back.
