We're all going for a ride, you want to come with us?

- No, go ahead, I have things to do.

- Do you mind if I go?

- But be careful okay.

- Of course.

Elisa, take care of the professor,

I'll be back very soon.

- Professor?

- That's what I do, not what I am.

So, how long have you been...

Okay, you guys...

Ok, Igor, take one of this box, to each

of the 5 following addresses.

You did a great job guys...

you really looked like special forces.

- What should I do with the drugs?

- Dump it... in the river.

I knew you were gonna say that.

Oh, sorry man

- Hey, back of man.

- You never watch where you going.

Get your hands of...

Are you all right Professor?

Yea.

You know... that's really one... intense wolf, Wolf.

Life is intense, my friend.

- Survival.

- Survival.

Oh, no, no, I had plenty.

You don't understand, Vodka is for the inside,

The bottle is for the outside,

take it put it against your eye.

You know...

that's a very interesting pendant.

Did you ever had it appraised?

To sell?

Out of the question,

this pendant brings me good luck.

I would never sell it, it's priceless.

Everything has its price.

In the next race, I put 50 Grant,

against your pendant.

Do you really, have this kind of money?

I already took 10,000 dollars from you...

why do you want it so bad?

- I'm an archaeologist.

- And if I say no?

Then superstition, is taking the place of good sense.

Well good professor... okay...

If you win the next race...

the pendant is yours.

But if you lose, and you will,

you will owe me 50,000 dollars... cash.

Deal.

- We got a deal.

- Deal.

The operation against the Beekeeper

and his group failed.

- We didn't consider a third party.

- So who was... our uninvited guest?

Sir, we suspect that Serge,

known on the street as Wolf...

- Serge Wolf?

- Yes Sir, do you know him?

Yes, I knew his father Miguel Wolf...

he was a good friend.

He died of a drug overdose,

when Serge was in high-school.

This must be too good to be true,

At 15, Wolf was a member of a car jacking

gang, he left the gang later for sports...

A couple years later, he got in a huge

fight with a couple of drug dealers.

He was just a kid then, kids make mistakes,

so tell me something I don't know.

The FSB report states, he fought as a mercenary, spend time in the Balkan mountain.

At present he's the leader of a car-racing

gang, he also owns a nightclub.

So what! What does that all have

to do with a drug deal?

We think, the FM Beekeeper, was a bid to take

over the drug take here in Moscow.

And Wolf is the man behind the plan,

that's why we have one little problem.

- Which is what?

- Wolf has an alibi.

When Beekeeper's deal was going down, Wolf was

in a car race, witnessed by hundreds of spectators.

- How did he do?

- He won.

For centuries people have been fascinated

by the treasures of the Knights Templar.

Research has uncovered evidence, that 60

knights, abandon the Orders main temple,

And fled through port La Rochelle...

it is believed...

That they placed the treasure on a ship

leaving France, for an unknown destination.

- Nazarro. - Yes Michael,

these is Pierre Saminault. - Hi.

- I was calling, to invite you to lunch.

- Yea, yea that be nice.

Excellent... we could meet at the Amsterdam?

Yea, I know where it is... yea, let's say one o clock?

- I'll meet you then.

- Okay, see you then.

- Vodka for me please.

- Another one? - Sure.

- Thank you for meeting me.

- Oh, it's my pleasure.

Are you having any luck with your... quest?

Well, everything seems to point,

to the treasure being here in Moscow.

Are you quiet sure, it's not just... urban legend?

Look...

If you look at the local monasteries...

the outer walls are covered with symbols, which are identical to the insignia of the Knights Templar.

- It doesn't prove anything.

- I don't know.

But... the grave-yards and graves of Russian warriors...

have exactly the same symbols,

now that tells me, these are the Knights...

who fled France, and came to Russia

to avoid execution.

Fancy meeting you in the library.

Oh... hi.

- Hi.

- Just... research, you know.

Of course, it looks like you're busy,

I won't keep you.

Oh, no no no, take a seat, I need a break anyway.

Rumor has it, you are searching for

the treasure of the Knights Templar.

- Who told you that?

- Like I said, you're famous on campus.

Well anyway, I like to introduce you,

to very interesting friend of mine.

He's the curator at the university museum,

you never know, he might be able to help you.

Do you really think, that I'm going to reveal

to you all the mysteries, I've been trying...

to uncover, my entire life?

This is the biography of Bartholomew,

written by Bartholomew himself.

Is this sufficient to convince you, I'm serious?

- Can I see this book?

- Of course, go ahead.

Ohm...

It dates the book... at least 500 years old.

Where did you get it?.

It's has been passed down, from generation

to generation in my family.

- Tell me...

- Yea.

Have you... come across symbols such

as these, in these margins before?

Ah... only once.

Let's make a deal, you lend me the

biography for a week,

And in return, I'll give you another

very interesting document.

I don't know... I never left it with anyone before.

- I'll need to know, that it was...

- Safe?

It's what I do... look around.

You won't be disappointed.

This is the interrogation list of a French officer...

In...

He was interrogated by the Emperor

Alexander's special investigators.

The name of the arresting officer was... Nogaret.

- The offspring of Nogaret, the persecutor of the Knights Templar.

- Exactly.

- That's incredible.

- There you have it.

But the crucial fact is, on the interrogation

papers, the same symbols.

A... a rose, arrows, bows and arches.

So...

What about the exchange?

- Done.

- Ahh...

Today is the 18th, come back on the 23rd.

- For me it's hard.

- One more!

From now on.

- I dumped the cocaine in the Moscow river.

- And?...

Then I send the money to three separate clinic's.

How do they make the transaction?

The money is transmitted to the bank

accounts, through the anti drug foundation.

If they try to check out the legal address, they will

come up with an elderly lady in Switzerland.

Nice.

You know it's a shame, we never

get any credit for these.

Remember Brian, it's not about the credit, not at all.

I told you I would find him, and I did.

I know he's the biggest man in Russia,

but it's hard to get to him.

Don't worry, I'll handle it.

The document is definitely real.

Maybe the symbols mean some kind of code.

But... how did Bartholomew know the

symbols of the Knights Templar?

Well, maybe he was one...

you see this here on these papers...

V.D.S.A. are the same letters,

that appear in Bartholomew's book.

Hey, look here.

The translation says: Three feet east,

two feet down, and two stones from the left.

Three feet east of where?

- Dr. Ramirez.

- Michael.
