:15:01
Cos it's a prison.
:15:03
Wait a minute. "Iron pen" - the "iron"
does not describe the ink in the pen,
:15:08
it describes what was penned.
:15:11
It was "iron" -
it was firm, it was mineral...
:15:14
No, no, no, that's stupid.
:15:16
It was... It was firm,
it was adamant, it was resolved.
:15:22
It was resolved.
:15:25
"Mr Matlack can't offend. "
:15:27
Timothy Matlack was the official scribe
of the Continental Congress.
:15:31
Calligrapher, not writer. And to make sure
he could not offend the map,
:15:35
it was put on the back of a resolution
that he transcribed,
:15:39
a resolution that 55 men signed.
:15:45
The Declaration of Independence.
:15:54
Come on, there's no invisible map on the
back of the Declaration of Independence.
:15:58
That's clever, really.
A document of that importance
:16:01
would ensure the map's survival.
:16:03
And you said there were several Masons
signed it, yeah?
:16:06
Yeah. Nine, for sure.
:16:10
We'll have to arrange a way to examine it.
:16:14
This is one of the most important
documents in history.
:16:17
They're not just gonna let us waltz in there
and run chemical tests on it.
:16:21
- Then what do you propose we do?
- I don't know!
:16:27
We could borrow it.
:16:30
Steal it?
:16:34
- I don't think so.
- Ben...
:16:36
the treasure of the Knights Templar
is the treasure of all treasures.
:16:40
Oh, I didn't know that.
Really?
:16:43
Look, Ben... I understand your bitterness.
I really do.
:16:48
You've spent your entire life
searching for this treasure,
:16:50
only to have
the respected historical community
:16:52
treat you and your family
with mockery and contempt.
:16:56
You should be able to rub this treasure
in their arrogant faces,
:16:58
and I want you to have
the chance to do that.
