The Curse of Oak Island (2014–…): Season 1, Episode 4 - The Secret of Solomon's Temple - full transcript

Tonight, on The

Curse of Oak Island...

I found the

treasure map leading to Oak

Island.

It is concealed in codes in

the manuscripts of William

Shakespeare and it also

tells you, what the treasure is.

You believe that the

Menorah from the Temple of



Solomon would be buried on Oak

Island?

Yeah, basically.

I'm actually getting

multiple signals.

I'm jumping in.

Hey!

Hey, guys.

Hey, what's up?

New suction hose?

We got the hose, we got

the pumps, we got the swamp.

Grab a hold of that

hose.



It looks pretty heavy.

Get after it.

Start bringing these

over there.

Young guys to the

front.

Rick and Marty

Lagina are convinced they may be

close to solving the mystery...

Where do you want this?

...and defying the

curse of Oak Island.

In the past few weeks, they've

found unusual metal artifacts in

one of the old treasure

shafts...

Oh, my gosh.

...mysterious

bones...

We can see if they are

actually human bones.

Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.

Oh, there it is.

...and a

significant amount of coconut

fiber.

Now, their efforts are focused

on Oak Island's mysterious

swamp, which many believe was

created as a hiding place, or

even a gateway, to an

underground treasure vault.

Pick that up, Jack,

if you will, so he's not

dragging it.

Let's just get it coupled up

first.

Let's hook it right here and

we'll all help him push it in

'cause look, we're right here.

Right now, we're going to do

what Rick has been wanting

to do.

We're gonna drain the swamp.

Okay.

Because there's been a lot of

conjecture that there's

something hidden in that swamp.

And nobody has ever done it.

I mean, there's been holes

drilled all over the place and

people have dug tunnels all over

the place but nobody has

explored that swamp.

So, that's what we're going to

do.

And we'll see what secrets it

has.

We have to drain the swamp with

pumps.

We got two pumps, there's 190

horsepower there.

Enough ponies going, we'll

drain this swamp.

Need some more ponies.

Yeah.

Pursuant to our

permit, we can't put any of that

water in the ocean.

So, we have to take all that

water, pump it basically uphill,

and into an area where it will

filter through the grass.

I'm here to tell you, that is

not easy.

Throw the switch.

I hope number two

works.

Better work.

(engine starting)

(gurgling)

Hey!

Shut her down, Dave.

(turns off engine)

Call it coincidence,

call it the curse.

Everything that can go wrong

on Oak Island, goes wrong.

The island is a harsh opponent.

So, you know, it's just one of

those things about Oak Island.

It's just a very frustrating

moment.

Hey.

You take one step

forward and two steps back,

seems like.

Get this one changed

over, we'll be running again in

five minutes, big brother.

Try again?

We're firing it up

now.

Ready?

Yeah.

(engine starting)

(gurgling)

Not too bad.

We got 190 horses

working for us now.

Right?

Yep.

190 horses and about

1,800 gallons a minute.

Yep.

Cocktail time.

Yeah.

(laughter)

The next few days

are critical once the swamp

is drained, the team will have a

gigantic task in front of them

searching through approximately

4.5 acres of mud and sludge.

Why the swamp?

Over the years, there have been

numerous theories about just

what, if anything, lies buried

on Oak Island.

Some believe the Money Pit

located approximately 300 feet

away from the swamp was just a

ruse, a decoy set to distract

people from the real treasure

shaft.

One of them is Norwegian writer

and documentary filmmaker,

Petter Amundsen, who, on

learning that Rick and Marty

were planning to drain the

swamp, traveled to Oak Island

in hopes of sharing his own

incredible theory.

All right, guys, this

is Petter Amundsen...

Petter.

Petter.

...that I've been

talking about.

Good to see you

again.

Good to see you.

Hello, Petter.

You are Marty?

Marty.

Yes.

In the past decade,

Petter Amundsen has drawn the

attention of Rick and Marty

Lagina with his claim that there

is a direct connection between

the Oak Island mystery

and the works of William

Shakespeare.

But could such a far-fetched

notion really be true?

I'm, uh, so thrilled

to be here.

Thank you so much for letting me

have this opportunity to present

my theory.

We thank you for

coming, and we are eager

to hear.

Okay, this, uh, may

sound a little bit braggish, but

I actually claim to have found

the treasure map leading to Oak

Island.

And this is found in a most

unlikely book, concealed in

codes.

And the book I'm talking about

is the great folio with the

plays of William Shakespeare.

There is a coded map in

Shakespeare, which I found.

It takes you up in the sky and

brings you down to Nova Scotia,

leading you to Oak Island.

And it will lead you to what

I believe is the ultimate

point X.

And it also tells you what the

treasure is.

Okay.

Nothing less.

Okay.

Well, that's a lot, you know.

Yes.

Petter Amundsen, my

first impression, he is a guy on

a mission.

I think he's passionately

believing his own theory.

But as far as the things I think

we can get out of Mr. Amundsen,

I think any clue that anybody

can bring to us is valuable.

What I really would

like to do is to show you some

parts of our documentary,

Shakespeare: The Hidden Truth.

According to

Petter's theory, the first

printed collection of William

Shakespeare's works in 1623 was

financed and supervised by the

author's close friend, Sir

Francis Bacon.

Bacon was a scientist,

explorer and adventurer whom

many believed was also the

leader of the Rosicrucians, a

secret group of intellectuals

with strong connections to the

Knights Templar.

In his film, Petter is seen

presenting his theory to

Shakespearian actor and scholar,

Robert Crumpton.

He claims to have found numerous

clues and codes planted

throughout this first edition of

Shakespeare's works, including

strangely capitalized letters...

misspelled words.

>> ROBERT: Yeah, you do wonder

why he would misspell his

own name.

And even

strategically misnumbered pages

that eventually lead to what

Petter believes is a celestial

treasure map.

Bootes is a slow

working star, in North Pole.

In the film, Petter

demonstrates to Crumpton that

the decoded texts lead to a

series of constellations and

one of these, Cygnus, or "the

swan," was used to represent

Shakespeare himself.

>> ROBERT: "I see thee in the

hemisphere advanced and made a

constellation there."

He says, you are a

constellation.

>> ROBERT: The Cygnus.

The Cygnus.

It's called the Northern Cross.

Using a globe of

the earth...

and one of the stars...

Petter then matches the location

of the Cygnus constellation to a

geographic destination on Oak

Island.

Specifically, the area on the

island known as Nolan's Cross.

I brought some props.

Good.

This is Nolan's

Cross.

Discovered by area

resident and treasure hunter

Fred Nolan in 1981, Nolan's

Cross is a perfectly symmetrical

cross made of five large

cone-shaped boulders.

Buried at the center, Nolan

discovered a sixth stone with a

human face carved into it.

Now, I say that this

cross is more than one symbol.

And I will show you why.

If you add a few more points,

like this.

Between these stones, there are

certain paths.

The geometry indicates that we

are talking abou uh, Tree

of Life.

Based on a

reference in the Old Testament,

the Tree of Life was said to be

one of two trees placed by God

in the Garden of Eden.

The other being the forbidden

Tree of Knowledge.

As depicted by the ancient

Hebrews and early Christians,

the Tree of Life is comprised of

ten points called sephirot,

with names like Wisdom, Beauty,

Victory, Splendor and Mercy,

which collectively are believed

to hold the keys to

understanding the universe.

This ancient symbol was adopted

by none other than the Knights

Templar and, in later years, by

the Rosicrucians, and even the

Freemasons.

But even more astounding is that

Petter believes that not only

does Nolan's Cross, when

matched with the design for the

Tree of Life, form a perfect

three-dimensional treasure map,

but that he even knows which

of the ten points of the tree is

the key to solving the whole Oak

Island mystery.

Guess which stone

is the important one?

This one.

My theory indicates that that

stone's name is Mercy.

And the problem with it is of

course that it is right into the

swamp.

>> CRAIG: Why do you think that

stone's the keystone as opposed

to any of the rest of them?

Shakespeare holds the

key.

On the last page ofThe Tempest,

he tells the audience to pierce

Mercy...

and the word "Mercy" is exactly

where that stone is if you are

crazy enough to put this diagram

onto the page.

Here we have also an instruction

on what this may contain.

They say that there is a place

on the earth where several items

have been stored away

books and especially one lamp.

What lamp?

The lamp is the

Menorah.

The Menorah?

The Menorah, from

the temple looted by Titus in

the year 70 A.D., taken to

Jerusalem, and it was never seen

again.

Many believe that

the Knights Templar rescued

priceless religious artifacts

from the temple in Jerusalem...

including the Ark of the

Covenant...

the Holy Grail...

and the Golden Menorah of King

Solomon the ultimate symbol of

the Hebrew faith.

I believe the Knights

Templar, when they dug in the

Temple Mount cellars, they found

the Menorah, they brought it to

Europe, to Scotland, and then

the heirs of the Knights

Templar, the Masons, they needed

a new place for it, so they went

west and found the spot for a

new resting place for the

temple treasure.

You believe that the

Menorah from the Temple of

Solomon could be buried on

Oak Island?

Yes.

I look upon you as

owners of a temple.

I believe this.

Norwegian writer

and filmmaker Petter Amundsen

has just presented his

incredible theory to the team at

Oak Island.

He believes that the Golden

Menorah of King Solomon's

Temple, along with other

priceless artifacts, are hidden

on the island at the bottom of

the swamp...

and that coded clues in the

writings of William Shakespeare

point the way.

Iwant to believe

everything you just said, but

it's... it's difficult.

So, what do you want from us?

Try to, uh... find

in... in the bottom of that

swamp, that stone, Mercy.

Although Rick and

Marty are already in the process

of draining the southeast area

of the Oak Island swamp, Petter

is asking that they shift their

focus to a different area of the

swamp where he believes the

treasure is.

It's a simple request, but Rick

and Marty have invested millions

of dollars in this enterprise,

and letting an outsider change

their strategy is not an easy

decision, especially so late in

the process.

All right, well, you

know what, we have a lot to

digest, and I-I...

I want to

thank you again for coming.

ETTER: Thank foriate it.

ening.

Intrigng as he.

We have... we have some

discussion to undertake.

Take care.

Appreciate it.

Thank you so much.

The demonstration that

Petter Amundsen did was great

theater.

Here's a guy that's saying that

something world-class is buried

onyour property, and he's got

his little cryptic way of

showing it you know, you feel

like you're inThe Da Vinci

Code or something.

'Kay, guys, what do you think?

Do you guys see him as

a threat at all?

I don't.

Big Brother?

He does have an agenda.

You know, are we comfortable

with that?

What is the difference?

If there is something found in

the swamp, it's gonna get out.

So, like, the difference between

whether or not he's here on the

island and whether he's off the

island, it's almost nothing.

Rick is troubled.

I can tell you that for sure.

And I think Rick is a little bit

wanting to do this his way, and

somebody else coming in and

challenges that.

What are we getting out

of it, I guess, is what I'm

saying.

What arewe getting out of it?

I mean, to some

extent, Rick, I guess the reason

I don't mind it is I think he

could add something.

Something to our

discovery process?

Yeah.

I find that singularly

impossible.

You know, we were going to

proceed with the swamp draining

prior to his involvement.

We had designs on all areas of

the swamp, not just singularly

his area of interest but our

own.

'Kay.

All in favor?

>> SEVERAL: Aye.

Aye.

The swamp has been

draining for two full days now,

but something is wrong.

The process is taking much

longer than expected.

And Petter Amundsen's so-called

Mercy point is still

underwater and inaccessible.

While they wait for the swamp to

drain, Marty and his son Alex

decide to put Petter's theory to

the test.

Petter.

Yeah.

If the Tree of Life

really is the basis for a kind

of giant 3-D treasure map, then

they should be able to find

additional stone markers

markers that could very well

indicate the entrance to

long-hidden treasure vaults.

This is the bottom

of the cross that Nolan

discovered in 1981.

The Kingdom Stone will be 282

feet from that stone, in the

60-degree bearing.

All right, well, let's

go find Kingdom, then.

Yeah.

(crow cawing)

All right.

...45, 46, 47, 48,

49, 50, 51, 52, 53...

I wish it was a

treasure chest.

You're on your way to

it.

...60, 61, 62, 63,

64, 65, 66.

Yes?

Here it is.

(clanging)

That's it?

So, this is the

foundation.

This is the first step in the

Tree of Life.

So it begins here.

Okay.

And this aligns

perfectly with the rest of the

cross.

So, let's dig.

All right.

There are strange things done

in the midday sun by the men who

toil for gold.

And the Oak Island trails have

their secret tales that would

make your blood run cold!

If Petter

Amundsen's calculations are

correct, the tenth point in the

Tree of Life known as

Malkuth or "Kingdom"

should be located exactly 282

feet directly south of the base

of Nolan's Cross.

But will they really find a

stone there, and, if so, what

might it reveal?

Wait a second.

You know, this is...

this is simply the wrong stone

it's too small.

(Petter groans)

Yeah.

Sorry.

Wrong.

You know, when a guy

is so intense like that, so

sure, you get caught up in it,

and then he... we go and we dig

up the wrong rock?

Well, that was... let a lot of

air out of the balloon.

We have to look for

it.

It's in this area, but, uh...

Is it this?

Is this it here?

Suddenly, Marty's

son Alex spots something in the

ground just a few feet away.

Yes, this is it.

Good.

This is it?

Yeah.

It's a large stone.

Perhaps thereis something to

Petter's theory, after all.

How far do we go this

way?

This is the end of

it.

Are we gonna be able

to move this, the three of us?

I don't really see

why we shouldn't move it.

(distorted, echoing caw)

Here we go.

(panting)

There it is.

The Kingdom Stone.

What is interesting is it's

rounded on the back.

And the flat side...

Yeah, here it comes.

The stone Marty,

Alex and Petter have found is

completely flat on one side,

as if it had been deliberately

cut.

Well, the stone ielf

is interesting, because you'd

think there'd be the other

half of it somewhere.

The Kingdom Stone...

You know, glacial stones often

are split perfectly flat,

because the granites get

fissures in them...

natural

cleavage planes, or planes

where they're weakest.

They get ice in there and they

split.

It is, I guess,somewhat

peculiar that the other side of

it isn't there, you know,

'cause it's clearly split

cleanly.

What makes today's

finding perhaps even more

significant is that the six

large boulders that make up what

has become known as

Nolan's Cross, and which

Petter believes form the

foundation for the Tree of

Life, also each have strangely

flat sides.

Okay, well, let's wash

it off.

It's granite.

Yeah, so...

You'll see...

These white dots here, here,

here.

And then another

startling revelation

three carved indentations

forming a triangle?

Could this be a sign?

A symbol linking the stone to

the Knights Templar...

and their successors,

the Rosicrucians?

And could the triangle shape

similar to that of the Oak

Island swamp be significant?

But how?

Here's all I'm willing

to say.

We're willing to look for that

Mercy point.

Thank you.

Is that good enough?

That's all I would

like to hear.

Is that good enough?

That's good enough.

We're going to leave

no... no stone unturned.

(laughter)

On our quest.

'Cause that's what this is.

This is a quest.

This is now being

proved.

We're going to check

out his Mercy point.

We're going to check it out as

best we can, and if we find

something, then you'll see the

excitement level.

Good work, good work.

All right.

Could Nolan's

Cross, along with the island's

other many strange carved

stones, really form the basis

for an elaborate treasure map

one which indicates that the key

to solving the Oak Island

mystery lies at the bottom of

the swamp?

But if so, the challenge remains

how to get to it, and so far the

island does not appear eager or

willing to cooperate.

This is the long sought

Frustrated by the

amount of time it's taking to

drain the swamp, Rick and Marty

have hired a local helicopter to

see if they can get a better

idea of their progress from the

air.

You don't want to walk

into that rear one, Rick.

Why?

You want a haircut?

(Dave laughs)

They also want to

see if a bird's-eye view can

help them spot Petter's

so-called Mercy point the

place in the swamp the Norwegian

filmmaker claims is a gateway to

an incredible underground

treasure vault.

Although they know every inch of

the landscape from years of

studying maps and books, seeing

it from the air is giving Rick

and Marty a vantage point

they've never had before.

From the air, the swamp does

indeed look man-made.

The triangle shape also suggests

the ancient symbol of a

pyramid... a shape that has

strong connections to

Freemasonry.

>> FRED: Yep.

Although the

helicopter ride didn't provide

an answer to the question of why

the swamp is taking so long to

drain, Rick and Marty Lagina are

convinced that the key to

solving the Oak Island mystery

may very well be located near

what Petter Amundsen calls "the

Mercy point."

Stones arranged in a diamond

formation and in line with the

so-called Mercy point?

A coincidence, or could they

really have been placed here to

mark the entrance to the

underground area where the

treasure is buried?

If it can only be seen from the

air, who or what was it intended

for?

Unfortunately for Petter

Amundsen, his time on Oak Island

is almost at an end.

He has just received a call that

he must return home to Norway

for business reasons, and the

swamp's failure to drain has

robbed him of a firsthand

opportunity to see whether his

incredible theory can be proven.

How do you say, how do

you say yes in Norwegian?

Ja.

Ja.

We say"ja takk"

yes, please.

Ja takk.

Did I say that right?

Ja takk.

Okay, so, may I take the other

part the dirty part of it?

Ja takk.

But before he

leaves the island, Petter wants

to show Rick and Marty the exact

spot where he believes the

fourth stone in the Tree of

Life the so-called Mercy

stone is located.

Okay, if you sink,

you're not coming out.

Whoa, whoa, whoa.

Sorry.

Yeah, sure.

Good thing my catlike reflexes

came in handy.

To navigate their

way through the half-drained

swamp, Rick, Marty, and Petter

lay down a makeshift walkway

using large plywood boards.

Rick, watch it.

Although the

plywood will help keep their

feet from sinking down into

centuries of accumulated muck,

it will do little to mask the

pungent stench of rotting plant

and animal matter.

It is very deep and

it's very dangerous.

Careful.

I'd like to probe

this whole area if I could.

Making matters

worse is the now persistent rain

which seems to be refilling the

swamp faster than the pumps can

drain it.

It would be great if

the if this rain would stop

because, I mean, we're losing

ground in the swamp, right, or

we're gaining water in the

swamp.

We, we just, at considerable

time and expense, drained it,

and here she is filling up

again.

(tapping)

That did sound hollow.

There is some kind of

floor with small stones on top

of it.

A floor covered

with stones?

Could Petter be standing over

some incredible man-made

structure, perhaps the actual

treasure vault built centuries

ago?

So, Marty, this is

something for your expert to

check out.

Yes.

So, I'm not an expert

on swamps.

(Marty laughs)

But, uh, this whole area is

the... the fillet if you like.

Yeah.

I can't pinpoint it

exactly because I don't have the

data.

Keep trying!

(Petter laughs)

We didn't haul all this plywood

out here for nothing.

I think, if we can't

accomplish more than this, we

know that it is a stony ground,

and if this is some part of the

secret vault, it's impossible

for me to say, but I would be

very interested in learning what

the experts would make of this.

Petter's theory is rich

in terms of detail, in terms of

discovery processes, but it's

just one among many.

Until it's proven, it's just one

more theory among a myriad

number of theories.

We were very hopeful and we

wanted him to succeed.

I mean, why, uh, why else are we

here?

Well, Swiss time is

ticking away fast, and we have a

plane to catch back to good old

Norway.

Okay.

And again, thank you

so much for letting me on to

your island.

You're very welcome,

you're very welcome.

A very special place.

I hope that I will stay within

the information loop because I

would be really interested in

knowing what's out there.

I really think they will find

the Mercy point, and what

happens from then on I can only

speculate, but I hope that they

will treat it with care and

behave responsibly.

We will not stop, we

will pursue this to the end.

You know, we have, we have an

agenda here as well, and we, we

think that cooperatively we'll

we will see success.

I will shake your

hand to that.

Thank you so much.

You're welcome.

Fortunately

Petter's visit was not in vain.

Rick and Marty are now committed

to locating the so-called Mercy

point and finding out once and

for all if the treasure of Oak

Island is within their grasp.

If you had g

For centuries Oak

Island has been a riddle wrapped

in an enigma.

For those who have risked their

lives and fortunes trying to

find treasure here, it is a

giant three-dimensional jigsaw

puzzle with numerous clues,

challenges, and dead ends that

all seem to be deliberately

planted.

But will solving it take skill,

persistence, and courage, or

will it require something more?

Perhaps the island was

intentionally and elaborately

coded so that only someone with

the right keys can get at the

treasure.

Welcome to what we

affectionately call our war

room.

Have a seat.

Great.

Someone who will

have to spend years looking,

someone who could very well be

in this room.

Well, Dave, Steve,

we're very excited you're here.

Impatient with the

lack of progress in getting the

swamp to drain, Rick and Marty

Lagina have decided to bring in

two metal detection experts to

join them in their search.

If there really are objects made

of precious metals buried deep

beneath the swamp, they should

be able to find them using the

latest in high-tech equipment.

We're a little bit, uh,

taken aback by the size of the

swamp, how much work we have to

do, so we're very much looking

forward not only to the new

technology but new ideas, new

input, new a new way to

approach this thing.

Then we'll be able to make

really good progress in the

swamp.

We're, we're here at

your disposal, and, uh, well,

hope-hopefully what we bring to

the table will aid you in your

quest.

Great.

Here's what our agenda is.

Uh, we'd like to investigate

this area initially.

Weather's going to play a role.

Access is going to play a role.

Currently, we have one pump on

station.

It sort of drained,

but it's not de-mucked.

Is it walkable?

Can you get out on the, uh... on

the swamp.

That's-that's the

issue.

The whole perimeter is

somewhat walkable, but this

position in particular, which

we're very interested in, is

still flooded.

We want to explore

this swamp.

That's our mission right now.

Yes.

And we want to use

the highest tech equipment

there is.

Yes.

Yes.

What we're looking for is the

breadcrumbs that lead us in a

particular direction.

The machine I'm

wondering about there's

conjecture that there's a vault

of some sort in the swamp.

What machine do you use for

that?

That's not a metal thing.

Well, it actually...

We have a pulse, ground balance

system that we're bringing in

from Germany.

We contacted Lorenz, and we

asked that they ship a unit

called the Deep Max.

But what's it give

you a visual, or...?

Yes, yes, you either

have a 2-D or a 3-D visual.

Made in Germany,

the Lorenz Deepmax X6 is a

revolutionary metal detecting

device.

It can scan through various

types of soils and surfaces,

even water.

It can also identify very

specific types of metals

including gold and silver up

to 40 feet deep underground.

Can't wait, honestly.

That's right.

Throw in all your

gizmos out there.

Let's do it.

All right.

As far as I'm

concerned, I'm, uh...

I'm so

excited about being here.

I got a really, really strong

belief that there's something on

Oak Island.

I also believe that you two are

going to find it, so...

Yay!

I like that guy.

(laughter)

It's music to my ears.

Let's do that.

Oh, yeah.

Yes.

Let's roll.

Guys, we are very

excited you're here.

We can't wait to get the data.

Yeah, great.

We can't wait to find

something, so let's go do it.

Let's do it.

I think that's

probably okay.

While Marty helps

David Spencer assemble the Deep

Max X6...

That's it.

That's it.

...Rick and Steve

Zazulyk begin a preliminary scan

of the swamp with a conventional

metal detector.

This is the long

sought-after, fabled, Mercy

Point position.

Okay.

So, I just have one

question.

Will that find something if it's

in a concrete vault?

Depending on how deep

it is, if you had concrete here

right now, and you had gold or

silver or something underneath

it, this machine will hear it.

Then, let's go.

Let's go.

Let's go and find it.

Okay.

So, here's the thing.

What we should do...

See that piece of rebar?

Yeah.

I'd like to get to the

other side of that point.

With what you know, is

there, like, a specific spot?

We have a general area.

And this is it?

And this is it.

Okay.

Don't fall in!

Yeah, don't fall in.

I just wondered how far I'll

sink.

Nothing here.

No.

Which way do you want

to go that way or this way?

I want to keep going

right around the whole thing.

Anything?

No.

Nothing out there as

far as you can reach?

Yeah, we might...

No.

We might start getting better

hits out here.

I don't know how far we can go

out right now.

We should have got...

More planking is what we should

have got.

You got something?

No.

Come in from that side

and try to sweep and see if it

registers from that side.

Okay.

(loud droning beep, chirping)

You got something?

Yeah.

I just want to check it again.

(beeps)

It's funny.

I'm getting...

I'm actually getting multiple

signals.

Really?

Yeah.

A signal?

See that?

See that?

Yeah.

That's a hit.

>> RICK (laughing): You got...

You got to be kidding me.

Did Rick and Steve

just find something metallic at

the bottom of the swamp?

And with a simple metal

detector?

Something that

significant, like gold or

silver...

Mm-hmm.

...would be up in this

quadrant around here.

God, that's-that's

where it is.

I know.

(Rick laugh)

(both laugh)

That's what you want,

isn't it?

This is what you

wanted, right?

That's what I want.

So, that's it, buddy.

Hey.

Let's keep going.

Maybe we can find something

else.

(beeping)

I got a...

I got a

definite signal here, too.

Here we go.

Could there really

be one or more metal objects

lying buried at the bottom of

the swamp right where Petter

Amundsen claimed they would be?

You got... you got

stuff here, buddy.

There's something

there?

Yeah.

After a preliminary

search of the area of the swamp

now known as the Mercy Point,

Rick, Charles and metal

detection expert Steve Zazulyk

believe they have made an

incredible discovery.

Listen.

(metallic clinking)

All right, I'm-I'm...

I'm gonna put my foot on that.

I'm literally going to jump in.

How about your

glasses?

Back up.

I'm gonna put my foot on it.

Hang on.

Hang on a second.

Okay, that's the edge...

Okay.

...right there, right,

so...

Okay, well, is there

anything here?

(metallic click)

Holy (bleep).

I'm going to put my foot on

that.

I-I...

I have to.

It's 50 years for me.

I'm jumping in.

There's something there.

There's no doubt about that.

There's something.

Something flat.

It sounds foolish, but I got so

excited, I jumped in the swamp.

I mean, you kind of lose a

little bit of rational

decision-making.

I jumped in.

Fried my iPhone.

My sister's going to get

extremely mad at me because I'm

out of... out of contact.

(laughing)

Can I take the detector and put

it down where I'm standing?

Seriously, I want to

dive in there right freaking

now, buddy.

Go!

What about your... your...?

As long as I come up

with a menorah between my teeth,

I'll be happy.

(laughing)

Is it exciting?

Of course it's exciting.

We've been on this for, going on

seven years now.

We have a target.

I mean, if you're not excited,

then go get your plane ticket.

See ya!

Oh.

Did you hear that?

Uh...

Here.

(beeping)

Hear that?

Holy (bleep).

Yeah, I do.

Yeah.

Now we're metal detecting.

(laughter)

Okay?

Yes!

There you go, buddy.

(laughing): Yeah.

Yes!

Could Rick Lagina

really be on the verge of

solving the Oak Island mystery?

Has he discovered the secret

hiding place of the Knights

Templar treasure?

The Golden Menorah of King

Solomon's Temple?

The Ark of the Covenant?

(Marty laughs)

Look at Rick!

(laughing)

(laughter)

Oh, man.

Yuck it up.

Yuck it up.

Keep laughing.

It's the creature from

the black lagoon!

When I first saw Rick, you know,

he's all wet, and he's drippy,

he was covered in mud.

But as he got closer, I have to

admit, I got kind of excited

'cause I could see in his face

that he was quite convinced he

found something significant.

I mean, he was...

You know, known him forever,

right?

I could tell.

He was just... he was beaming.

Yes, big brother?

Yeah.

Yeah!

What?

I have something.

You do not.

Bull (bleep).

You talk to the man

right there.

So we went down to

this area that everybody was all

excited about, right?

Yes, yes.

And uh, your brother

and I went out kind of like real

close.

Yeah?

And I got an

incredible hit.

Yeah.

Meaning?

On our meter, it was a

strong enough signal for your

brother and I to jump right in.

And?

And when I went down,

it got stronger and stronger,

and then when we went in there,

our foot went right on a solid

object down there.

You know, where it's showing on

the meter where there's a nice

signal, typically where I find

silver and gold...

Yeah?

...is where it was

hitting.

(laughter)

Rick is absolutely,

you know, convinced that we'll

uncover some, if not... if not

actual treasure, at least some

significant clues.

But I got to admit, it was a

thrill for me, too.

No, let's go get it.

Let's get Big Max in the swamp.

This is exciting.

I mean, I don't believe it,

okay, 'cause I'm not going to

believe it until I see it.

>> STEVE & RICK: Yeah.

But still, cool.

Look at him.

He's...

Yeah, he's very

excited.

He's very excited.

All right, I can tell.

Well, you know, the

deal is, it's a 200-year-old

search, and maybe this isn't the

big breakthrough, but it surely

is going to lead us well down

that road.

We're very, very,very hopeful.

After centuries of

failed searches, fortunes spent,

and lives lost, are Rick and

Marty Lagina about to bring this

legendary story to its

conclusion?

Or could it be like so many

other such moments on the

island another dead end?

Next time onThe Curse of Oak

Island...

This is the most

sophisticated equipment that's

ever been on this island.

That's what we're

looking for.

Wow.

This could be it.

This could be the find.

What are you

getting, Rick?

What are you getting,

big brother?

Whoa!

Whoa!

No!

Are you serious?

What?

That's a game changer.

It predates the

Money Pit by at least 150 years.
It's the first piece

of evidence that I've been able
to hold in my hand.

This is the most

valuable thing that's ever been
found on Oak Island.
