George Washington,
Benjamin Franklin, Paul Revere.

:04:06
They knew they had to make sure
:04:08
the treasure would never fall
into the hands of the British.

:04:12
So they devised a series of clues
and maps to its location.

:04:16
Over time the clues were lost or forgotten,
:04:18
until only one remained -
:04:20
and that was the secret that Charles Carroll
entrusted to young Thomas Gates.

:04:32
Charlotte.
:04:34
"The secret lies with Charlotte. "
:04:38
Who's Charlotte?
:04:40
Oh, not even Mr Carroll knew that.
:04:43
Now look here, Ben.
:04:45
The Freemasons
among our Founding Fathers left us clues.

:04:49
Like these.
:04:51
The unfinished pyramid.
The all-seeing eye.

:04:55
Symbols of the Knights Templar,
guardians of the treasure.

:04:59
- They're speaking to us through these.
- You mean laughing at us.

:05:04
You know what that dollar represents?
:05:07
The entire Gates family fortune.
:05:10
Six generations of fools...
chasing after fool's gold.

:05:14
It's not about the money, Patrick.
It's never been about the money.

:05:17
Come on, son. Time to go.
:05:20
You can... say your goodbyes.
:05:30
Grandpa?
:05:34
Are we knights?
:05:39
Do you want to be?
:05:41
All right. Um... kneel.
:05:56
Benjamin Franklin Gates,
:05:58
you take upon yourself the duty
of the Templars, the Freemasons
