Blood & Treasure (2019) s02e11 Episode Script

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. Atwell, 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's crimes.
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 overpour.
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. Atwell,
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 "biohazard."
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 bioweapons
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 Sonnemannstraße.
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.
