"NARRATOR:" "RickandMarty" "Lagina are convinced they may be close to solving the mystery..." "ALEX:" "Wheredo youwantthis ?" "NARRATOR:...anddefyingthe  curse of Oak Island." "In the past few weeks, they've found unusual metal artifacts in one of the old treasure shafts..." "JACK:" "Oh,my gosh." "NARRATOR:...mysterious bones..." "JACK:" "Wecansee ifthey are actually human bones." "Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa." "DANH.:" "Oh ,thereitis." "NARRATOR:...anda significant amount of coconut fiber." "Now, their efforts are focused on Oak Island's mysterious swamp, which many believe was created as a hiding place, or even a gateway, to an underground treasure vault." "MARTY:" "Pickthatup, Jack, if you will, so he's not dragging it." "Let's just get it coupled up first." "Let's hook it right here and we'll all help him push it in 'cause look, we're right here." "Right now, we're going to do what Rick has been wanting to do." "We're gonna drain the swamp." "Okay." "Because there's been a lot of conjecture that there's something hidden in that swamp." "And nobody has ever done it." "I mean, there's been holes drilled all over the place and people have dug tunnels all over the place but nobody has explored that swamp." "So, that's what we're going to do." "And we'll see what secrets it has." "We have to drain the swamp with pumps." "We got two pumps, there's 190 horsepower there." "Enough ponies going, we'll drain this swamp." "(Dave laughing)" "Need some more ponies." "DAVE:" "Yeah." "MARTY:" "Pursuantto our permit, we can't put any of that water in the ocean." "So, we have to take all that water, pump it basically uphill, and into an area where it will filter through the grass." "I'm here to tell you, that is not easy." "RICK:" "Throwtheswitch." "MARTY:" "I hopenumbertwo  works." "RICK:" "Betterwork." "(engine starting)" "(gurgling)" "MARTY:" "Hey!" "Shut her down, Dave." "(turns off engine)" "RICK:" "Callit coincidence, call it the curse." "Everything that can go wrong on Oak Island, goes wrong." "The island is a harsh opponent." "So, you know, it's just one of those things about Oak Island." "It's just a very frustrating moment." "MARTY:" "Hey." "RICK:" "Youtakeone step forward and two steps back, seems like." "MARTY:" "Getthisone changed over, we'll be running again in five minutes, big brother." "DAVE:" "Tryagain?"

"MARTY:190horsesand about 1,800 gallons a minute." "DAVE:" "Yep." "Cocktailtime." "MARTY:" "Yeah." "(laughter)" "NARRATOR:" "Thenextfew days are critical-- once the swamp is drained, the team will have a gigantic task in front of them searching through approximately" "4.5 acres of mud and sludge." "Why the swamp?" "Over the years, there have been numerous theories about just what, if anything, lies buried on Oak Island." "Some believe the Money Pit-- located approximately 300 feet away from the swamp-- was just a ruse, a decoy set to distract people from the real treasure shaft." "One of them is Norwegian writer and documentary filmmaker," "Petter Amundsen, who, on learning that Rick and Marty were planning to drain the swamp, traveled to Oak Island in hopes of sharing his own incredible theory." "ALEX:" "Allright,guys,this  is Petter Amundsen..." "RICK:" "Petter." "MARTY:" "Petter." "ALEX:...thatI'vebeen talking about." "PETTER:" "Goodto seeyou  again." "RICK:" "Goodto seeyou ." "MARTY:" "Hello,Petter." "PETTER:" "YouareMarty?" "MARTY:" "Marty." "Yes." "NARRATOR:" "Inthepastdecade," "Petter Amundsen has drawn the attention of Rick and Marty" "Lagina with his claim that there is a direct connection between the Oak Island mystery and the works of William" "Shakespeare." "But could such a far-fetched notion really be true?" "PETTER:" "I 'm,uh,so thrilled to be here." "Thank you so much for letting me have this opportunity to present my theory." "MARTY:" "Wethankyou for  coming, and we are eager to hear." "PETTER:" "Okay,this,uh, may  sound a little bit braggish, but" "I actually claim to have found the treasure map leading to Oak" "Island." "And this is found in a most unlikely book, concealed in codes." "And the book I'm talking about is the great folio with the plays of William Shakespeare." "There is a coded map in" "Shakespeare, which I found." "It takes you up in the sky and brings you down to Nova Scotia, leading you to Oak Island." "And it will lead you to what" "I believe is the ultimate" ""point X."" "And it also tells you what the treasure is." "MARTY:" "Okay." "PETTER:" "Nothingless." "MARTY:" "Okay." "Well, that's a lot, you know." "PETTER:" "Yes." "MARTY:" "PetterAmundsen,my first impression, he is a guy on a mission." "I think he's passionately believing his own theory." "But as far as the things I think we can get out of Mr. Amundsen," "I think any clue that anybody can bring to us is valuable." "PETTER:" "WhatIreallywould like to do is to show you some parts of our documentary," "Shakespeare:" "TheHiddenTruth." "NARRATOR:" "Accordingto" "Petter's theory, the first printed collection of William" "Shakespeare's works in 1623 was financed and supervised by the author's close friend, Sir" "Francis Bacon." "Bacon was a scientist, explorer and adventurer whom many believed was also the leader of the Rosicrucians, a secret group of intellectuals with strong connections to the" "Knights Templar." "In his film, Petter is seen presenting his theory to" "Shakespearian actor and scholar," "Robert Crumpton." "He claims to have found numerous clues and codes planted throughout this first edition of" "Shakespeare's works, including strangely capitalized letters... misspelled words." "ROBERT:" "Yeah,youdowonder why he would misspell his own name." "NARRATOR:" "Andeven strategically misnumbered pages that eventually lead to what" "Petter believes is a celestial treasure map." "PETTER:" "Bootesis aslow working star, in North Pole." "NARRATOR:" "Inthefilm,Petter demonstrates to Crumpton that the decoded texts lead to a series of constellations and one of these, Cygnus, or "the swan," was used to represent" "Shakespeare himself." "ROBERT:" Iseetheeinthe hemisphere advanced and made a constellation there."" "PETTER:" "Hesays,you are a constellation." "ROBERT:" "TheCygnus." "PETTER:" "TheCygnus." "It's called the Northern Cross." "NARRATOR:" "Usingaglobeof the earth... and one of the stars..." "Petter then matches the location of the Cygnus constellation to a geographic destination on Oak" "Island." "Specifically, the area on the island known as Nolan's Cross." "PETTER:" "I broughtsomeprops." "MARTY:" "Good." "PETTER:" "Thisis Nolan's" "Cross." "NARRATOR:" "Discoveredby area resident and treasure hunter" "Fred Nolan in 1981, Nolan's" "Cross is a perfectly symmetrical cross made of five large cone-shaped boulders." "Buried at the center, Nolan discovered a sixth stone with a human face carved into it." "PETTER:" "Now,Isay thatthis  cross is more than one symbol." "And I will show you why." "If you add a few more points, like this." "Between these stones, there are certain paths." "The geometry indicates that we are talking abou uh, Tree of Life." "NARRATOR:" "Basedon a reference in the Old Testament, the Tree of Life was said to be one of two trees placed by God in the Garden of Eden." "The other being the forbidden" "Tree of Knowledge." "As depicted by the ancient" "Hebrews and early Christians, the Tree of Life is comprised of ten points called sephirot, with names like Wisdom, Beauty," "Victory, Splendor and Mercy, which collectively are believed to hold the keys to understanding the universe." "This ancient symbol was adopted by none other than the Knights" "Templar and, in later years, by the Rosicrucians, and even the" "Freemasons." "But even more astounding is that" "Petter believes that not only does Nolan's Cross, when matched with the design for the" "Tree of Life, form a perfect three-dimensional treasure map, but that he even knows which of the ten points of the tree is the key to solving the whole Oak" "Island mystery." "PETTER:" "Guesswhichstone is the important one?" "This one." "My theory indicates that that stone's name is Mercy." "And the problem with it is of course that it is right into the swamp." "CRAIG:" "Whydo youthinkthat  stone's the keystone as opposed to any of the rest of them?" "PETTER:" "Shakespeareholdsthe  key." "On the last page of The Tempest, he tells the audience to pierce" "Mercy... and the word "Mercy" is exactly where that stone is if you are crazy enough to put this diagram onto the page." "Here we have also an instruction on what this may contain." "They say that there is a place on the earth where several items have been stored away-- books and especially one lamp." "JACK:" "Whatlamp?" "PETTER:" "Thelampisthe" "Menorah." "MARTY:" "TheMenorah?" "PETTER:" "TheMenorah,from the temple looted by Titus in the year 70 A.D., taken to" "Jerusalem, and it was never seen again." "NARRATOR:" "Manybelievethat the Knights Templar rescued priceless religious artifacts from the temple in Jerusalem... including the Ark of the" "Covenant... the Holy Grail... and the Golden Menorah of King" "Solomon-- the ultimate symbol of the Hebrew faith." "PETTER:" "I believetheKnights" "Templar, when they dug in the" "Temple Mount cellars, they found the Menorah, they brought it to" "Europe, to Scotland, and then the heirs of the Knights" "Templar, the Masons, they needed a new place for it, so they went west and found the spot for a new resting place for the temple treasure." "MARTY:" "Youbelievethatthe" "Menorah from the Temple of" "Solomon could be buried on" "Oak Island?" "PETTER:" "Yes." "PETTER:" "I lookuponyou as owners of a temple." "I believe this." "NARRATOR:" "Norwegianwriter and filmmaker Petter Amundsen has just presented his incredible theory to the team at" "Oak Island." "He believes that the Golden" "Menorah of King Solomon's" "Temple, along with other priceless artifacts, are hidden on the island at the bottom of the swamp... and that coded clues in the writings of William Shakespeare point the way." "MARTY:" "I wantto believe everything you just said, but it's... it's difficult." "So, what do you want from us?" "PETTER:" "Tryto ,uh ...find in... in the bottom of that swamp, that stone, Mercy." "NARRATOR:" "AlthoughRickand" "Marty are already in the process of draining the southeast area of the Oak Island swamp, Petter is asking that they shift their focus to a different area of the swamp where he believes the treasure is." "It's a simple request, but Rick and Marty have invested millions of dollars in this enterprise, and letting an outsider change their strategy is not an easy decision, especially so late in the process." "MARTY:" "Allright,well,you know what, we have a lot to digest, and I-I..." "I want to thank you again for coming." "ETTER:" "Thank foriate it." "ening." "MARTY:" "Intrigngas he ." "We have... we have some discussion to undertake." "ALEX:" "Takecare." "RICK:" "Appreciateit ." "PETTER:" "Thankyousomuch ." "MARTY:" "Thedemonstrationthat" "Petter Amundsen did was great theater." "Here's a guy that's saying that something world-class is buried on your property, and he's got his little cryptic way of showing it-- you know, you feel like you're in The Da Vinci" "Codeorsomething." "'Kay, guys, what do you think?" "JACK:" "Doyouguysseehimas  a threat at all?" "MARTY:" "I don't." "Big Brother?" "RICK:" "Hedoeshaveanagenda." "You know, are we comfortable with that?" "ALEX:" "Whatis thedifference?" "If there is something found in the swamp, it's gonna get out." "So, like, the difference between whether or not he's here on the island and whether he's off the island, it's almost nothing." "MARTY:" "Rickis troubled." "I can tell you that for sure." "And I think Rick is a little bit wanting to do this his way, and somebody else coming in and challenges that." "RICK:" "Whatarewegettingout of it, I guess, is what I'm saying." "What are we getting out of it?" "MARTY:" "I mean,to some extent, Rick, I guess the reason" "I don't mind it is I think he could add something." "RICK:" "Somethingto our discovery process?" "MARTY:" "Yeah." "RICK:" "I findthatsingularly impossible." "You know, we were going to proceed with the swamp draining priortohisinvolvement." "We had designs on all areas of the swamp, not just singularly his area of interest but our own." "MARTY:' Kay." "Allin favor?" "SEVERAL:" "Aye." "JACK:" "Aye." "♪ ♪" "NARRATOR:" "Theswamphas been draining for two full days now, but something is wrong." "The process is taking much longer than expected." "And Petter Amundsen's so-called" ""Mercy point" is still underwater and inaccessible." "While they wait for the swamp to drain, Marty and his son Alex decide to put Petter's theory to the test." "ALEX:" "Petter." "PETTER:" "Yeah." "NARRATOR:" "IftheTreeofLife really is the basis for a kind of giant 3-D treasure map, then they should be able to find additional stone markers-- markers that could very well indicate the entrance to long-hidden treasure vaults." "PETTER:" "Thisis thebottom of the cross that Nolan discovered in 1981." "The Kingdom Stone will be 282 feet from that stone, in the" "60-degree bearing." "ALEX:" "Allright,well,let's go find Kingdom, then." "PETTER:" "Yeah." "(crow cawing)" "ALEX:" "Allright." "PETTER:...45,46 ,47 ,48 , 49, 50, 51, 52, 53..." "MARTY:" "I wishit wasa treasure chest."

"This is the first step in the" "Tree of Life." "So it begins here." "MARTY:" "Okay." "PETTER:" "Andthisaligns perfectly with the rest of the cross." "MARTY:" "So,let'sdig ." "ALEX:" "Allright." "There are strange things done in the midday sun by the men who toil for gold." "And the Oak Island trails have their secret tales that would make your blood run cold!" "NARRATOR:" "IfPetter" "Amundsen's calculations are correct, the tenth point in the" "Tree of Life-- known as" ""Malkuth" or "Kingdom"-- should be located exactly 282 feet directly south of the base of Nolan's Cross." "But will they really find a stone there, and, if so, what might it reveal?" "MARTY:" "Waitasecond." "PETTER:" "Youknow,thisis... this is simply the wrong stone-- it's too small." "(Petter groans)" "Yeah." "Sorry." "Wrong." "MARTY:" "Youknow,whenaguy  is so intense like that, so sure, you get caught up in it, and then he... we go and we dig up the wrong rock?" "Well, that was..." "let a lot of air out of the balloon." "PETTER:" "Wehavetolook for it." "It's in this area, but, uh..." "ALEX:" "Isit this?" "Is this it here?" "NARRATOR:" "Suddenly,Marty's son Alex spots something in the ground just a few feet away." "PETTER:" "Yes,thisisit." "Good." "MARTY:" "Thisis it ?" "PETTER:" "Yeah." "NARRATOR:" "It'salargestone." "Perhaps there is something to" "Petter's theory, after all." "MARTY:" "Howfardowego this way?" "PETTER:" "Thisis theend of it." "MARTY:" "Arewe gonnabeable  to move this, the three of us?" "PETTER:" "I don'treallysee  why we shouldn't move it." "(distorted, echoing caw)" "ALEX:" "Herewe go ." "♪ ♪" "(panting)" "PETTER:" "Thereit is ." "The Kingdom Stone." "What is interesting is it's rounded on the back." "And the flat side..." "Yeah, here it comes." "NARRATOR:" "ThestoneMarty," "Alex and Petter have found is completely flat on one side, as if it had been deliberately cut." "ALEX:" "Well,thestoneleif  is interesting, because you'd think there'd be the other half of it somewhere." "MARTY:" "TheKingdomStone..." "You know, glacial stones often are split perfectly flat, because the granites get fissures in them... natural cleavage planes, or planes where they're weakest." "They get ice in there and they split." "It is, I guess, somewhat peculiar that the other side of it isn't there, you know, 'cause it's clearly split cleanly." "NARRATOR:" "Whatmakestoday's finding perhaps even more significant is that the six large boulders that make up what has become known as" "Nolan's Cross, and which" "Petter believes form the foundation for the Tree of" "Life, also each have strangely flat sides." "MARTY:" "Okay,well,let 'swash it off." "It's granite." "PETTERAMUNDSEN:" "Yeah,so..." "You'll see..." "These white dots here, here, here." "NARRATOR:" "Andthenanother startling revelation-- three carved indentations forming a triangle?" "Could this be a sign?" "A symbol linking the stone to the Knights Templar... and their successors, the Rosicrucians?" "And could the triangle shape-- similar to that of the Oak" "Island swamp-- be significant?" "But how?" "MARTY:" "Here'sallI'm willing to say." "We're willing to look for that" "Mercy point." "PETTER:" "Thankyou." "MARTY:" "Isthatgoodenough?" "PETTER:" "That'sallIwould like to hear." "MARTY:" "Isthatgoodenough?" "PETTER:" "That'sgoodenough." "MARTY:" "We'regoingtoleave no... no stone unturned." "(laughter)" "On our quest." "'Cause that's what this is." "This is a quest." "PETTER:" "Thisis nowbeing proved." "MARTY:" "We'regoingtocheck out his Mercy point." "We're going to check it out as best we can, and if we find something, then you'll see the excitement level." "PETTER:" "Goodwork,goodwork ." "MARTY:" "Allright." "NARRATOR:" "CouldNolan's" "Cross, along with the island's other many strange carved stones, really form the basis for an elaborate treasure map-- one which indicates that the key to solving the Oak Island mystery lies at the bottom of the swamp?" "But if so, the challenge remains how to get to it, and so far the island does not appear eager or willing to cooperate." "RICK:" "Thisis thelongsought" "NARRATOR:" "Frustratedby the amount of time it's taking to drain the swamp, Rick and Marty have hired a local helicopter to see if they can get a better idea of their progress from the air." "MARTY:" "Youdon'twanttowalk into that rear one, Rick." "RICK:" "Why?" "DAVE:" "Youwantahaircut?" "(Dave laughs)" "NARRATOR:" "Theyalsowantto see if a bird's-eye view can help them spot Petter's so-called Mercy point-- the place in the swamp the Norwegian filmmaker claims is a gateway to an incredible underground treasure vault." "Although they know every inch of the landscape from years of studying maps and books, seeing it from the air is giving Rick and Marty a vantage point they've never had before." "From the air, the swamp does indeed look man-made." "The triangle shape also suggests the ancient symbol of a pyramid... a shape that has strong connections to" "Freemasonry." "FRED:" "Yep." "NARRATOR:" "Althoughthe helicopter ride didn't provide an answer to the question of why the swamp is taking so long to drain, Rick and Marty Lagina are convinced that the key to solving the Oak Island mystery may very well be located near" "what Petter Amundsen calls "the" "Mercy point."" "Stones arranged in a diamond formation and in line with the so-called Mercy point?" "A coincidence, or could they really have been placed here to mark the entrance to the underground area where the treasure is buried?" "If it can only be seen from the air, who or what was it intended for?" "Unfortunately for Petter" "Amundsen, his time on Oak Island is almost at an end." "He has just received a call that he must return home to Norway for business reasons, and the swamp's failure to drain has robbed him of a firsthand opportunity to see whether his incredible theory can be proven." "MARTY:" "Howdo yousay ,how do you say yes in Norwegian?" "PETTER:" "Ja." "MARTY:" "Ja." "PETTER:" "Wesay"ja takk--"" "yes, please." "MARTY:" "Jatakk." "Did I say that right?" "PETTER:" "Jatakk." "Okay, so, may I take the other part-- the dirty part of it?" "MARTY:" "Jatakk." "NARRATOR:" "Butbeforehe leaves the island, Petter wants to show Rick and Marty the exact spot where he believes the fourth stone in the Tree of" "Life-- the so-called Mercy stone-- is located." "RICK:" "Okay,if yousink, you're not coming out." "MARTY:" "Whoa,whoa,whoa." "PETTER:" "Sorry." "MARTY:" "Yeah,sure." "Good thing my catlike reflexes came in handy." "NARRATOR:" "Tonavigatetheir way through the half-drained swamp, Rick, Marty, and Petter lay down a makeshift walkway using large plywood boards." "MARTY:" "Rick,watchit." "NARRATOR:" "Althoughthe plywood will help keep their feet from sinking down into centuries of accumulated muck, it will do little to mask the pungent stench of rotting plant and animal matter." "PETTER:" "Itis verydeepand it's very dangerous." "MARTY:" "Careful." "PETTER:" "I 'dliketo probe this whole area if I could." "NARRATOR:" "Makingmatters worse is the now persistent rain which seems to be refilling the swamp faster than the pumps can drain it." "MARTY:" "Itwouldbegreatif the-- if this rain would stop because, I mean, we're losing ground in the swamp, right, or we're gaining water in the swamp." "We, we just, at considerable time and expense, drained it, and here she is filling up again." "(tapping)" "That did sound hollow." "PETTER:" "Thereis somekindof floor with small stones on top of it." "NARRATOR:" "A floorcovered with stones?" "Could Petter be standing over some incredible man-made structure, perhaps the actual treasure vault built centuries ago?" "PETTER:" "So,Marty,thisis something for your expert to check out." "MARTY:" "Yes." "PETTER:" "So,I'mnot anexpert on swamps." "(Marty laughs)" "But, uh, this whole area is the... the fillet if you like." "MARTY:" "Yeah." "PETTER:" "I can'tpinpointit exactly because I don't have the data." "MARTY:" "Keeptrying!" "(Petter laughs)" "We didn't haul all this plywood out here for nothing." "PETTER:" "I think,if we can't accomplish more than this, we know that it is a stony ground, and if this is some part of the secret vault, it's impossible for me to say, but I would be" "very interested in learning what the experts would make of this." "RICK:" "Petter'stheoryisrich  in terms of detail, in terms of discovery processes, but it's just one among many." "Until it's proven, it's just one more theory among a myriad number of theories." "We were very hopeful and we wanted him to succeed." "I mean, why, uh, why else are we here?" "PETTER:" "Well,Swisstimeis ticking away fast, and we have a plane to catch back to good old" "Norway." "MARTY:" "Okay." "PETTER:" "Andagain,thankyou so much for letting me on to your island." "MARTY:" "You'reverywelcome, you're very welcome." "PETTER:" "A veryspecialplace." "I hope that I will stay within the information loop because I would be really interested in knowing what's out there." "I really think they will find the Mercy point, and what happens from then on I can only speculate, but I hope that they will treat it with care and behave responsibly." "RICK:" "Wewillnot stop,we will pursue this to the end." "You know, we have, we have an agenda here as well, and we, we think that cooperatively we'll-- we will see success." "PETTER:" "I willshakeyour hand to that." "Thank you so much." "RICK:" "You'rewelcome." "NARRATOR:" "Fortunately" "Petter's visit was not in vain." "Rick and Marty are now committed to locating the so-called Mercy point and finding out once and for all if the treasure of Oak" "Island is within their grasp." "STEVE:" "Ifyouhad g" "NARRATOR:" "ForcenturiesOak" "Island has been a riddle wrapped in an enigma." "For those who have risked their lives and fortunes trying to find treasure here, it is a giant three-dimensional jigsaw puzzle with numerous clues, challenges, and dead ends that all seem to be deliberately planted." "But will solving it take skill, persistence, and courage, or will it require something more?" "Perhaps the island was intentionally and elaborately coded so that only someone with the right keys can get at the treasure." "MARTY:" "Welcometo whatwe affectionately call our war room." "Have a seat." "STEVE:" "Great." "NARRATOR:" "Someonewhowill have to spend years looking, someone who could very well be in this room." "RICK:" "Well,Dave,Steve, we're very excited you're here." "NARRATOR:" "Impatientwiththe  lack of progress in getting the swamp to drain, Rick and Marty" "Lagina have decided to bring in two metal detection experts to join them in their search." "If there really are objects made of precious metals buried deep beneath the swamp, they should be able to find them using the latest in high-tech equipment." "RICK:" "We'realittlebit, uh, taken aback by the size of the swamp, how much work we have to do, so we're very much looking forward not only to the new technology but new ideas, new" "input, new-- a new way to approach this thing." "Then we'll be able to make really good progress in the swamp." "DAVID:" "We're,we 'rehereat your disposal, and, uh, well, hope-hopefully what we bring to the table will aid you in your quest." "RICK:" "Great." "Here's what our agenda is." "Uh, we'd like to investigate this area initially." "Weather's going to play a role." "Access is going to play a role."

"What we're looking for is the breadcrumbs that lead us in a particular direction." "MARTY:" "ThemachineI'm  wondering about-- there's conjecture that there's a vault of some sort in the swamp." "What machine do you use for that?" "That's not a metal thing." "DAVID:" "Well,it actually..." "We have a pulse, ground balance system that we're bringing in from Germany." "We contacted Lorenz, and we asked that they ship a unit called the Deep Max." "MARTY:" "Butwhat'sitgive  you-- a visual, or...?" "DAVID:" "Yes,yes,you either have a 2-D or a 3-D visual." "NARRATOR:" "Madein Germany, the Lorenz Deepmax X6 is a revolutionary metal detecting device." "It can scan through various types of soils and surfaces, even water."
