Relic Hunter s02e12 Episode Script
M.I.A.
Relic Hunter (PAL) Happy easter, my love.
Oh, alexander.
Oh, it's the most beautiful thing I've ever seen.
Handcrafted by carl faberge, A prize befitting a beautiful czarina.
And only her czar could know what truly fulfils her heart.
(kate:) okay, you're wired.
You can come back in, simon.
We really appreciate this.
Dealers that fence stolen artifacts are on my enemy list too.
Still, interpol is grateful, syd.
We really needed someone with your rep' as a relic hunter To pull off this sting.
Okay, when you get upstairs, If you sense trouble like he senses he's being set up I know.
Get out.
Syd.
Yeah? The bait.
Oh, right.
(sydney:) okay, man in an overcoat, blue sedan I assume they're yours.
(sydney:) what are you doing here? I don't like this.
What took you so long? I got here as quickly as I could.
I have you tell you, claudia, You made very little sense on the phone.
Now, what exactly did kate say? Something went wrong.
They never busted the guy and syd disappeared.
What do you mean she disappeared? I don't know.
Kate wasn't very specific on the phone.
She said she'd fill us in when she got here.
Kate's coming here? Yeah, to debrief us or something.
Why'd syd have to get involved with interpol? I mean, isn't relic hunting dangerous enough? You don't usually drink coffee at night.
Well, these are very unusual circumstances.
Kate.
Hello, nigel.
(claudia:) any news? No.
(kate:) you haven't heard from her? No.
(nigel:) I was very uneasy about sydney Getting involved with your sting operation.
(kate:)what's happened to sydney Had nothing to do with the sting.
And it wasn't a robbery.
How do you know that? The faberge egg we were using as bait Was left behind on the sidewalk.
Well, then what do you think happened? We're focussing on syd's last words.
She was wearing a wire.
(sydney:) okay, man in an overcoat, blue sedan.
I assume they're yours.
What are you doing here? It sounds like she ran into someone she knew.
So while the police investigate in new york, I'm proceeding on the notion that syd was confronted by an old enemy.
That's why I'm here.
I'm hoping you two can help me uncover a suspect.
Can we use that? (nigel:) yeah, sure.
You said uncover a suspect.
How is this going to work? Start thinking of names, Anyone who might hold a grudge against sydney.
Where to start? Where to start? Well, it's not that she's a bad person, But doing what sydney does she did get a lot of enemies.
Well, fortunately, most of them are in jail.
Yeah.
But she was always competing against other relic hunters.
I mean, do they count? Absolutely.
Okay, what about What about the vulture? Nadia napoca in bucharest.
She vowed to get revenge.
Or derek lloyd.
And he kidnapped nigel.
Maybe he and the cia are up to something again.
All right, we have somewhere to start.
Check out the rest of them and get back to me, asap.
Nadia napoca is securely behind bars in bucharest.
And edward patel is dead.
Okay.
Tell me everything you can about the others.
(nigel:) all right, mischa rogoff.
We first ran into him in a paris flea market.
Sydney, catch! Nigel, catch! (mischa:) oh, brilliant.
Really brilliant.
And now, let's see if you can stop a speeding bullet.
Ready? (kate:) I never realized a college professor's life was so dangerous.
(nigel:) that was just the beginning with mischa.
We confronted him again at his chateau.
I knew I could count on you to be on time for something.
Click.
Ah, not bad.
Not the best, but not bad.
Let them go, mischa.
You win.
You've got the wine.
That's more than enough to cover my loan.
Well, I wish I could, but I can't possibly now.
You have seen too much.
Not really.
It may seem that way on the surface But really, we're not that observant.
Oh, really? The security cams show you found my private room behind the closet.
Dispose of them, quietly.
And now, if you'll excuse me, I have less than an hour to go to a very exclusive wine auction.
I'd be a fool to miss it.
Well, we wouldn't want you to be that.
(mischa:) funny, very funny.
Ow, ow.
Ow, my ankle.
What are we going to do with them? Leave them for the cops.
We've got an auction to attend.
Well, they're not going to let us in looking like this.
(kate:) so what happened to mischa? We got marie antoinette's diamonds and he got away scot-free.
My guess is that he's still somewhere in europe.
Or seeking revenge on sydney for making a fool of him.
Interpol's running a trace.
We'll find him.
Tell me about sean dryer.
(nigel:)well, we ran into him in madagascar.
A rival relic hunter.
Ruthless.
He was going to shoot sydney in cold blood.
One Two And three little indians.
And Come on, come on.
Where are you? You looking for me? Yeah, I'm looking for you.
Why are you stalking us? Why do you think, lady? Because I'm going to kill you and your friends Before you get to that lono statue and I'm going to get rich.
(kate:) so, he's dead.
Oh no, not this guy.
Get up! (dryer:)you, out of my way.
I've got a plane to catch.
Let him go.
I'll tell you what.
You step aside And I'll forget our past differences and you'll both live.
Unfortunately, I'm not the forgiving type.
I like him As a suspect.
Sean dryer stays at the top of the list.
Kate.
Kate, I don't know if you can hear me.
I'm in some sort of abandoned warehouse.
I don't know where.
I wonder what's taking them so long to get back.
I want to eliminate some of these names.
Kate? Yeah? There's something syd made me promise never to tell.
But, under the circumstances (kate:) yes? She had a stalker.
What? Francois jordan.
What are you talking about? Well, at first, it was just phone calls That sydney wouldn't take and then there were e-mails.
It started getting more and more threatening.
I mean, he just didn't get it.
She was over him.
What was the relationship like? Volatile.
(claudia:) and passionate.
Of course.
Hello.
You are nigel.
Yes.
I am francois.
The francois.
Oh.
Did she ever tell you how we met? She didn't, actually, and I'm sure it's a fascinating story.
It was in the peruvian jungle.
We were after an incan sceptre.
We both reached the temple at the same time When I was bitten by a peruvian pit viper.
She cut me with her knife and sucked the poison out Just like that.
It was so romantic.
But the problem is she is so strong-willed.
I bet she orders you around like you are her stable boy, hmm? Well, not exactly a stable boy.
You just have you put your foot down once in a while.
Let her know you are a man.
She'll respond.
She'll respect you after that.
Believe me, I know.
I see.
(sydney:) nigel.
Nigel! Coming.
We almost didn't make it, sydney.
We could've died.
It was awesome.
The best.
So close to death.
Just like old times.
Sri lanka.
Sao paolo.
Panama.
New jersey.
Your sister's house on thanksgiving.
So much risk.
Danger.
Excitement.
Romance.
We shouldn't be doing this.
Absolutely not.
It'll only lead to disappointment.
Trouble.
Heartache.
We can resist.
We just have to be strong.
Firm.
Like a rock.
What's wrong? What do you have in there? What is this? Sydney, I can explain.
Never mind.
I understand perfectly.
(kate:) were the police informed that francois was stalking her? I wanted her to call them, But syd said she could take care of herself.
(nigel:) that's our syd.
You know, there's someone we've overlooked: Elizabeth rukeyser.
Spell it.
(nigel:) r-u-k-e-y-s-e-r.
Her day job, she was curator of the crawford institute in new york.
(claudia:)but she moonlighted as high priestess in an egyptian cult, Performing sacrifices at a temple in her basement.
You're serious? Afraid so.
I was there.
Let's find her.
Don't waste your time.
(nigel:) she's disappeared.
(chanting) Stop! Don't do that.
Out! I told you You couldn't stay.
You can't destroy that statue.
Why not? Because mafdet doesn't want it destroyed.
She wants her image and spirit to remain for people to see and admire.
(elizabeth:) I serve pharaoh, not mafdet.
Exactly.
You want it destroyed for your own selfish gain (sydney:) so you can have power with the pharaoh.
You don't need to do this.
You are correct.
I want to do it and I will.
Pharaoh has his loyal servants.
Mafdet has none.
She has me.
(sydney:) nigel, she's vanished.
People don't just disappear, nigel.
I would've agreed with you 2 years ago Before I started working for sydney.
I'm going to go check the archives.
Maybe there's someone we've forgotten.
Kate I've missed you.
Then why didn't you call me? I don't know.
I guess our relationship If you can call it that, which I I don't It's never been What? Well, normal.
I mean, look at the way we met.
My jeep has a flat.
I've got to get to the airport.
That's where we're headed, but Please.
(nigel:) well, as you can see, We don't have any space.
Get in.
Where is she going to sit? I'm going to find something to drink.
Do you want anything? No, thanks.
As close as we were -- and We were close -- I'm not sure I caught your name.
Nigel bailey.
Kate.
Thanks again for the lift.
Sure.
Kate Smith.
Okay.
(kate:) I I hope it It wasn't awkward for you and Oh, sydney? Oh, no, no, We We We just work together.
Nothing like that.
Oh.
Well, what do you do? We're teachers, history.
You? Missionary work.
Why does a missionary carry a gun in her bag? It's a dangerous world, nigel.
But then you know that, don't you? (kate:) what about you and sydney? What about me and sydney? Well, you Oh, no, no, no, there's nothing romantic going on between me and sydney, No, heavens, no.
Well, maybe the odd misjudged moment Clumsy fumble but no, no, nothing Nothing like that at all.
Your demonstration was so wonderfully unusual.
Was it the maori or the Sanblas indians? Oh, it was actually a composite of several tribal cultures (sydney:) that embody similar methods of killing.
The most important thing at the beginning of the term Is to get the students excited about history And hungry for more.
Right.
(sydney:) nigel, are you crazy? Get in here.
Now's our chance, nigel.
It is? We don't have much time.
Right.
In front of them? They'll sleep through anything.
We just have to be very quiet.
Right.
Are you up for it? I I I think I am.
I mean, yes, I I I do think I am.
Nigel.
Yes? (sydney:) what's wrong? I'm nervous.
Just follow my lead.
(nigel:) right.
(sydney:) get dressed, quietly.
We're getting out of here.
I hope she's all right.
(claudia:) I know you guys said you don't want anything, But there's an all-night place around the corner.
I got you some food.
Thanks, claudia.
Thanks.
So, we still have to go over avery ko and derek lloyd.
I recognize lloyd's name for some reason.
And he's the only one paris has got back to me on so far.
(kate:) they can't extract anything.
He's protected by a crypto- secret classification.
What? (nigel:) it means it's higher than top secret.
I'm not surprised.
The man has multiple identities.
You can never get a straight answer out of him.
(nigel:) fixed, huh, just like that? On foot.
What? Can't be more than How long is a click again? Oh, wait a minute.
I can call for help.
You're choking me.
Take your hands off of him.
You place a call with a cell phone, it can be traced.
You really want everyone tracking our position? We've wasted enough time.
Start walking.
(claudia:) tell her.
Tell her what? That derek lloyd kidnapped you and brainwashed you.
He's got that swedish syndrome.
What's that? She means stockholm syndrome.
And I He didn't brainwash me.
That's not what sydney said.
Where's nigel? Who do you think you are pulling a stunt like this? Where is he? Would you have come on your own? Where is nigel? Would you have come on your own? No.
Of course not.
You smell great.
Hey, derek, look what I got for us.
Sydney.
What have you done to him? Are you all right? Yes.
I thought you were being held hostage.
Show her the pictures.
Okay.
(kate:) I don't suppose you know how to get a hold of derek lloyd.
He gets hold of you.
It's not a vice versa thing.
Okay.
On to the next one then.
(claudia:) avery ko.
I don't remember him.
You would have if you'd met him.
You can't sell this to the highest bidder, ko.
I believe in free enterprise.
This could kill millions of people.
Yes, that is unfortunate.
Nigel.
Now we're even for khartoum.
(kate:) it's interpol, si5 in paris.
Come on, come on.
Looks like we can eliminate some of syd's friends.
These are all accounted for.
So, what do we do now? (patel:) disciples of kali, behold the sheath.
Miss fox, you left the dig at kashmir rather abruptly.
I didn't have a chance to say goodbye.
Yeah, well, I got what I wanted So I figured I'd dispense with the pleasantries.
Well, yes, you did get what you came for, didn't you? But I got it back.
How did you You didn't really think I'd give up so easily, did you? After escaping the dig and evading the authorities, I dedicated myself to recovering the dagger.
Thanks to you, I knew just where to find it.
The national museum.
There are followers of kali everywhere, But especially in new delhi.
It wasn't difficult to find those who would help Put the dagger back in the proper hands.
In a few hours from now, I shall enjoy the ultimate revenge.
When the sun rises and aligns itself with constellation raipur, You will pay for your meddling in my affairs By being sacrificed to kali.
Thought you only sacrificed virgins.
In your case, we will make an exception.
Well, we've checked everything.
That's it.
Everyone we can think of.
Okay, let's take a different tack.
Now, someone had to know Where sydney was going to be in order to get her.
Did you notice anything unusual Or out of place in the past week or so? (claudia:) wait a minute.
There was something that was a little weird: This grad student of sydney's, I came in here one day And he was in sydney's office by himself.
It looked like he might've been going through her stuff.
Who was he? Oh, some indian guy.
Mohan Mohandu? Mohandas? Gujaret? Yeah.
He's a grad student from india.
(nigel:) he's also an expert on thuggees and the cult of kali.
When syd and I got back from india, He documented our experiences for his thesis.
Did you make any enemies when you were there? Edward patel but, as I mentioned, he's dead.
Mohandas documented that as well.
And where is this mohandas? I Think He lives on campus.
I'll check the directory.
I'll check with my friend at the museum in kashmir.
Maybe he can confirm that patel isn't alive.
I'll check with interpol.
Yeah, jerry? Tell me what you've got on an edward patel And track down a student at trinity college by the name of mohandas gujaret.
Hello, mr.
Prakesh? It's nigel bailey.
Yes, from professor sydney fox's office.
Yes.
What? (kate:) really? Yeah, all right, okay.
Well, it's an incredible coincidence that I called.
Absolutely, yes.
I have to run.
I'm Yes, thank you.
Yeah, get him down here right now.
Okay, look, I've got to go.
Bye.
The dagger that we retrieved from patel Has been stolen from the museum in kashmir.
And my guys have patel on file, But no record of his being deceased.
It's got to be him.
(nigel:) he's the one.
I'm having mohandas picked up and brought here.
This patel, How serious was the grudge that he had against sydney? Well, he He did vow to cut out our hearts.
We were lucky to escape with our lives and the dagger.
(disciples:) rah! One half of the great icon has been recovered.
And we rejoice for we know who it is that has the dagger in their possession: An american relic hunter and her assistant.
And they are here in this camp.
After we complete our ceremony, we shall seek them out.
We shall take the dagger from them and use it to cut out their living hearts.
(disciples:) jai, kali! (kate:) when was the last time you saw patel? In the temple at kashmir.
Like I told you, syd and I snuck in disguised as thuggees, But we had no idea what was about to happen.
How are we going to get to the sheath? How are we going to get out of here with our skins intact? You heard the man.
He's going to cut out our living hearts.
Yeah, he does have a way with words, doesn't he? Kali, guide our hands and favour us with success.
Bring forth the sacrifice.
He's going to kill her.
Who wishes the honour of making the sacrifice? You.
No, the one who hesitates.
Flow with it, nigel, flow.
(patel:) he who most fears to serve kali will benefit most.
Remove your hood.
Let us see who among us is afraid to serve kali.
No.
Remove your hood.
Remove it now.
It's all right, I'm not one of them.
(sydney:) let's go.
Run.
(patel:) there, there she is.
Aah! (kate:) he'd have reason to go after her.
But the question is: Where are they? You will wear this.
It's not me.
Put it on, miss fox.
Why don't you put it on? You seem to like costumes so much.
You are not in a position to protest much.
Dress her yourselves if you have to.
(kate:) if you cooperate, mohandas, We might be able to help you out.
But you'd better do it soon.
Nigel's very good at deciphering sanskrit And I have a hunch all those papers Our agents found at your place Are going to get you in some very big trouble.
According to this, Tomorrow is a very special day for the cult.
The constellation raipur Aligns with the rising sun in the morning in a very unique way.
Yeah, I was just reading about that in this astrology book.
It's like some sort of harmonic convergence.
(nigel:) yeah, but instead of meditating To a bunch of crystals in the desert, The cult sees these circumstances as ideal for human sacrifice.
(claudia:) they're going to sacrifice sydney? That's accessory to murder, mohandas.
Now where is she? To reveal the secret temple, It would be a betrayal of my people.
It would subject me to a fate far worse than any of your prisons.
It's almost sunrise.
(nigel:)what if they've taken her back to india? We're talking about tomorrow with the time change And the travel, they'll never make the window.
Wait a minute, maybe they're not taking her to india.
According to this book, the most powerful point of convergence Is here in the northern hemisphere, 70 degrees longitude.
That's right here on the northeast coast of the us.
(nigel:) wait a minute.
I saw something, an address in new york.
No.
You are signing my death warrant.
(claudia:) you were going to sign sydney's.
There's still a couple of hours until sunrise.
A chopper can get us to new york in time.
Nigel, Help me.
I need to make a phone call to the nypd.
Where's the phone? Nigel.
Oh, okay.
(officer:) everything's set up.
Good.
We think sydney's being held in this building.
It's a longshot, but she may still be wearing our wire.
(patel:) so, miss fox, allow me to set the scene.
An hour from now, this temple will be filled With disciples of kali, chanting themselves into a frenzy.
What you witnessed in kashmir, this was minor by comparison.
When I call for the sacrifice, You will be brought forth and laid prostrate before almighty kali, As you are now.
Of course, by then the drugs will have worn off So you will be fully aware of what is happening to you As the sun rises and your life ends.
(officer:) position, position, position.
Stay close, stay close.
I'll put it over the speaker.
(patel:)And I will have earned redemption in the eyes of almighty kali.
(sydney:) you're really a sick puppy, patel.
That's her.
Let's go.
(officer:) that's a go, blue team.
Let's deliver this package.
(banging) (officer:) go, go, go.
Go, see what that is.
(officer:) move.
Let's go, let's go, let's go, let's go.
Go, go.
Maybe the drugs wore off quicker than you thought.
(sydney:) thanks.
(officer:) freeze! Get down, get down.
On the floor.
(sydney:) you're a hopeless case, patel.
This way.
How did you find me? It's a long story.
I owed you one, kate I'm supposed to shake my head and say, "no, it's all in a day's work," But I'm not.
I'm going to ask you a favour.
Sure.
What? Well, we've still got a little unfinished business.
Simon? Oh, you don't mean Still waiting to be fenced.
Mind if I get some bacon and a cup of coffee to go with that egg first? I don't mean right now.
We set up another meeting for tonight.
So yeah, have all the breakfast you want.
Great.
I've got news for you.
Interpol's buying.
Subtitle by: Kiasuseven
Oh, alexander.
Oh, it's the most beautiful thing I've ever seen.
Handcrafted by carl faberge, A prize befitting a beautiful czarina.
And only her czar could know what truly fulfils her heart.
(kate:) okay, you're wired.
You can come back in, simon.
We really appreciate this.
Dealers that fence stolen artifacts are on my enemy list too.
Still, interpol is grateful, syd.

Believe me, I know.
I see.
(sydney:) nigel.
Nigel! Coming.
We almost didn't make it, sydney.
We could've died.
It was awesome.
The best.
So close to death.
Just like old times.
Sri lanka.
Sao paolo.
Panama.
New jersey.
Your sister's house on thanksgiving.
So much risk.
Danger.
Excitement.
Romance.
We shouldn't be doing this.
Absolutely not.
It'll only lead to disappointment.
Trouble.
Heartache.
We can resist.
We just have to be strong.
Firm.
Like a rock.
What's wrong? What do you have in there? What is this? Sydney, I can explain.
Never mind.
I understand perfectly.
(kate:) were the police informed that francois was stalking her? I wanted her to call them, But syd said she could take care of herself.
(nigel:) that's our syd.
You know, there's someone we've overlooked: Elizabeth rukeyser.
Spell it.
(nigel:) r-u-k-e-y-s-e-r.
Her day job, she was curator of the crawford institute in new york.
(claudia:)but she moonlighted as high priestess in an egyptian cult, Performing sacrifices at a temple in her basement.
You're serious? Afraid so.
I was there.
Let's find her.
Don't waste your time.
(nigel:) she's disappeared.
(chanting) Stop! Don't do that.
Out! I told you You couldn't stay.
You can't destroy that statue.
Why not? Because mafdet doesn't want it destroyed.
She wants her image and spirit to remain for people to see and admire.
(elizabeth:) I serve pharaoh, not mafdet.
Exactly.
You want it destroyed for your own selfish gain (sydney:) so you can have power with the pharaoh.
You don't need to do this.
You are correct.
I want to do it and I will.
Pharaoh has his loyal servants.
Mafdet has none.
She has me.
(sydney:) nigel, she's vanished.
People don't just disappear, nigel.
I would've agreed with you 2 years ago Before I started working for sydney.
I'm going to go check the archives.
Maybe there's someone we've forgotten.
Kate I've missed you.
Then why didn't you call me? I don't know.
I guess our relationship If you can call it that, which I I don't It's never been What? Well, normal.
I mean, look at the way we met.
My jeep has a flat.
I've got to get to the airport.
That's where we're headed, but Please.
(nigel:) well, as you can see, We don't have any space.
Get in.
Where is she going to sit? I'm going to find something to drink.
Do you want anything? No, thanks.
As close as we were -- and We were close -- I'm not sure I caught your name.
Nigel bailey.
Kate.
Thanks again for the lift.
Sure.
Kate Smith.
Okay.
(kate:) I I hope it It wasn't awkward for you and Oh, sydney? Oh, no, no, We We We just work together.
Nothing like that.
Oh.
Well, what do you do? We're teachers, history.
You? Missionary work.
Why does a missionary carry a gun in her bag? It's a dangerous world, nigel.
But then you know that, don't you? (kate:) what about you and sydney? What about me and sydney? Well, you Oh, no, no, no, there's nothing romantic going on between me and sydney, No, heavens, no.
Well, maybe the odd misjudged moment Clumsy fumble but no, no, nothing Nothing like that at all.
Your demonstration was so wonderfully unusual.
Was it the maori or the Sanblas indians? Oh, it was actually a composite of several tribal cultures (sydney:) that embody similar methods of killing.
The most important thing at the beginning of the term Is to get the students excited about history And hungry for more.
Right.
(sydney:) nigel, are you crazy? Get in here.
Now's our chance, nigel.
It is? We don't have much time.
Right.
In front of them? They'll sleep through anything.
We just have to be very quiet.
Right.
Are you up for it? I I I think I am.
I mean, yes, I I I do think I am.
Nigel.
Yes? (sydney:) what's wrong? I'm nervous.
Just follow my lead.
(nigel:) right.
(sydney:) get dressed, quietly.
We're getting out of here.
I hope she's all right.
(claudia:) I know you guys said you don't want anything, But there's an all-night place around the corner.
I got you some food.
Thanks, claudia.
Thanks.
So, we still have to go over avery ko and derek lloyd.
I recognize lloyd's name for some reason.
And he's the only one paris has got back to me on so far.
(kate:) they can't extract anything.
He's protected by a crypto- secret classification.
What? (nigel:) it means it's higher than top secret.
I'm not surprised.
The man has multiple identities.
You can never get a straight answer out of him.
(nigel:) fixed, huh, just like that? On foot.
What? Can't be more than How long is a click again? Oh, wait a minute.
I can call for help.
You're choking me.
Take your hands off of him.
You place a call with a cell phone, it can be traced.
You really want everyone tracking our position? We've wasted enough time.
Start walking.
(claudia:) tell her.
Tell her what? That derek lloyd kidnapped you and brainwashed you.
He's got that swedish syndrome.
What's that? She means stockholm syndrome.
And I He didn't brainwash me.
That's not what sydney said.
Where's nigel? Who do you think you are pulling a stunt like this? Where is he? Would you have come on your own? Where is nigel? Would you have come on your own? No.
Of course not.
You smell great.
Hey, derek, look what I got for us.
Sydney.
What have you done to him? Are you all right? Yes.
I thought you were being held hostage.
Show her the pictures.
Okay.
(kate:) I don't suppose you know how to get a hold of derek lloyd.
He gets hold of you.
It's not a vice versa thing.
Okay.
On to the next one then.
(claudia:) avery ko.
I don't remember him.
You would have if you'd met him.
You can't sell this to the highest bidder, ko.
I believe in free enterprise.
This could kill millions of people.
Yes, that is unfortunate.
Nigel.
Now we're even for khartoum.
(kate:) it's interpol, si5 in paris.
Come on, come on.
Looks like we can eliminate some of syd's friends.
These are all accounted for.
So, what do we do now? (patel:) disciples of kali, behold the sheath.
Miss fox, you left the dig at kashmir rather abruptly.
I didn't have a chance to say goodbye.
Yeah, well, I got what I wanted So I figured I'd dispense with the pleasantries.
Well, yes, you did get what you came for, didn't you? But I got it back.
How did you You didn't really think I'd give up so easily, did you? After escaping the dig and evading the authorities, I dedicated myself to recovering the dagger.
Thanks to you, I knew just where to find it.
The national museum.
There are followers of kali everywhere, But especially in new delhi.
It wasn't difficult to find those who would help Put the dagger back in the proper hands.
In a few hours from now, I shall enjoy the ultimate revenge.
When the sun rises and aligns itself with constellation raipur, You will pay for your meddling in my affairs By being sacrificed to kali.
Thought you only sacrificed virgins.
In your case, we will make an exception.
Well, we've checked everything.
That's it.
Everyone we can think of.
Okay, let's take a different tack.
Now, someone had to know Where sydney was going to be in order to get her.
Did you notice anything unusual Or out of place in the past week or so? (claudia:) wait a minute.
There was something that was a little weird: This grad student of sydney's, I came in here one day And he was in sydney's office by himself.
It looked like he might've been going through her stuff.
Who was he? Oh, some indian guy.
Mohan Mohandu? Mohandas? Gujaret? Yeah.
He's a grad student from india.
(nigel:) he's also an expert on thuggees and the cult of kali.
When syd and I got back from india, He documented our experiences for his thesis.
Did you make any enemies when you were there? Edward patel but, as I mentioned, he's dead.
Mohandas documented that as well.
And where is this mohandas? I Think He lives on campus.
I'll check the directory.
I'll check with my friend at the museum in kashmir.
Maybe he can confirm that patel isn't alive.
I'll check with interpol.
Yeah, jerry? Tell me what you've got on an edward patel And track down a student at trinity college by the name of mohandas gujaret.
Hello, mr.
Prakesh? It's nigel bailey.
Yes, from professor sydney fox's office.
Yes.
What? (kate:) really? Yeah, all right, okay.
Well, it's an incredible coincidence that I called.
Absolutely, yes.
I have to run.
I'm Yes, thank you.
Yeah, get him down here right now.
Okay, look, I've got to go.
Bye.
The dagger that we retrieved from patel Has been stolen from the museum in kashmir.
And my guys have patel on file, But no record of his being deceased.
It's got to be him.
(nigel:) he's the one.
I'm having mohandas picked up and brought here.
This patel, How serious was the grudge that he had against sydney? Well, he He did vow to cut out our hearts.
We were lucky to escape with our lives and the dagger.
(disciples:) rah! One half of the great icon has been recovered.
And we rejoice for we know who it is that has the dagger in their possession: An american relic hunter and her assistant.
And they are here in this camp.
After we complete our ceremony, we shall seek them out.
We shall take the dagger from them and use it to cut out their living hearts.
(disciples:) jai, kali! (kate:) when was the last time you saw patel? In the temple at kashmir.
Like I told you, syd and I snuck in disguised as thuggees, But we had no idea what was about to happen.
How are we going to get to the sheath? How are we going to get out of here with our skins intact? You heard the man.
He's going to cut out our living hearts.
Yeah, he does have a way with words, doesn't he? Kali, guide our hands and favour us with success.
Bring forth the sacrifice.
He's going to kill her.
Who wishes the honour of making the sacrifice? You.
No, the one who hesitates.
Flow with it, nigel, flow.
(patel:) he who most fears to serve kali will benefit most.
Remove your hood.
Let us see who among us is afraid to serve kali.
No.
Remove your hood.
Remove it now.
It's all right, I'm not one of them.
(sydney:) let's go.
Run.
(patel:) there, there she is.
Aah! (kate:) he'd have reason to go after her.
But the question is: Where are they? You will wear this.
It's not me.
Put it on, miss fox.
Why don't you put it on? You seem to like costumes so much.
You are not in a position to protest much.
Dress her yourselves if you have to.
(kate:) if you cooperate, mohandas, We might be able to help you out.
But you'd better do it soon.
Nigel's very good at deciphering sanskrit And I have a hunch all those papers Our agents found at your place Are going to get you in some very big trouble.
According to this, Tomorrow is a very special day for the cult.
The constellation raipur Aligns with the rising sun in the morning in a very unique way.
Yeah, I was just reading about that in this astrology book.
It's like some sort of harmonic convergence.
(nigel:) yeah, but instead of meditating To a bunch of crystals in the desert, The cult sees these circumstances as ideal for human sacrifice.
(claudia:) they're going to sacrifice sydney? That's accessory to murder, mohandas.
Now where is she? To reveal the secret temple, It would be a betrayal of my people.
It would subject me to a fate far worse than any of your prisons.
It's almost sunrise.
(nigel:)what if they've taken her back to india? We're talking about tomorrow with the time change And the travel, they'll never make the window.
Wait a minute, maybe they're not taking her to india.
According to this book, the most powerful point of convergence Is here in the northern hemisphere, 70 degrees longitude.
That's right here on the northeast coast of the us.
(nigel:) wait a minute.
I saw something, an address in new york.
No.
You are signing my death warrant.
(claudia:) you were going to sign sydney's.
There's still a couple of hours until sunrise.
A chopper can get us to new york in time.
Nigel, Help me.
I need to make a phone call to the nypd.
Where's the phone? Nigel.
Oh, okay.
(officer:) everything's set up.
Good.
We think sydney's being held in this building.
It's a longshot, but she may still be wearing our wire.
(patel:) so, miss fox, allow me to set the scene.
An hour from now, this temple will be filled With disciples of kali, chanting themselves into a frenzy.
What you witnessed in kashmir, this was minor by comparison.
When I call for the sacrifice, You will be brought forth and laid prostrate before almighty kali, As you are now.
Of course, by then the drugs will have worn off So you will be fully aware of what is happening to you As the sun rises and your life ends.
(officer:) position, position, position.
Stay close, stay close.
I'll put it over the speaker.
(patel:)And I will have earned redemption in the eyes of almighty kali.
(sydney:) you're really a sick puppy, patel.
That's her.
Let's go.
(officer:) that's a go, blue team.
Let's deliver this package.
(banging) (officer:) go, go, go.
Go, see what that is.
(officer:) move.
Let's go, let's go, let's go, let's go.
Go, go.
Maybe the drugs wore off quicker than you thought.
(sydney:) thanks.
(officer:) freeze! Get down, get down.
On the floor.
(sydney:) you're a hopeless case, patel.
This way.
How did you find me? It's a long story.
I owed you one, kate I'm supposed to shake my head and say, "no, it's all in a day's work," But I'm not.
I'm going to ask you a favour.
Sure.
What? Well, we've still got a little unfinished business.
Simon? Oh, you don't mean Still waiting to be fenced.
Mind if I get some bacon and a cup of coffee to go with that egg first? I don't mean right now.
We set up another meeting for tonight.
So yeah, have all the breakfast you want.
Great.
I've got news for you.
Interpol's buying.
