"The Gold Bug." Oh, what a story.

It has everything...

a delirious search for treasure, the descent into madness, along with ciphers and bugs, a skull nailed to a tree.

You?

I'm glad my misfortune amuses you.

It's just the, uh...

irony caught me by surprise.

Okay.

So...

The very rare 1943 Lincoln penny that I...

liberated from Grayson Blaise was stolen.

The thief knew where to find me.

He knew I had it.

Now he has it.

And I need a little help to get it back.

You fooled us once into helping you acquire that penny.

I think we'll pass on helping you reacquire it.

The man we're looking for...

this man is on a quest.

Fantastic news.

The loan committee approved an extension.

This is a new payment schedule...

He has k*lled in service of it, and unless we stop him, he will k*ll again.

Red: In recent years, Federal Reserve Notes issued in the 1930s have turned up in Manila and Singapore.

"The United States of America will pay to the bearer on demand $100,000." How many of these notes are floating around?

None, according to your government.

It denies issuing any such notes and insists the few that have turned up are counterfeit.

I thought this was about your penny.

It is because without the pennies, we will never find the notes or the man who's k*lling to get them.

This is never easy...

but your P&L statements are not promising.

I'm afraid we have no choice but to foreclose.

Please.

I'll do anything.

"Pennies"...

wasn't there only one?

No, there are four.

Bronze...

minted in 1943.

Before stealing it, you were willing to spend $3 million of our money to buy one of the pennies at auction.

Collectors value them because they believe they were minted in error...

bronze one-offs when every other penny was made of copper.

But what collectors don't know, what makes them truly valuable, is not that they were a mistake, but that there is a code put there by the man who minted them...

a map to a vast fortune.

The lost Federal Reserve Notes that Treasury claims it never made.

Finding the long-lost notes is a quest for the financial holy grail.

Hundreds of millions of dollars, redeemable upon request.

And the man who att*cked you knew this?

Aram, if you would.

Three security guards m*rder*d at the Sharjah Museum in Dubai, an Italian art collector dies when his home is consumed by a fire set by an unknown arsonist, and just last night, an antiques dealer m*rder*d in Georgetown.

After informing our Blacklister that I'd arranged to meet with him.

That's how he got the where and the when, and he used that intel to ambush me.

Cooper: Three incidents, presumably only three pennies...

That leaves him one short.

You were once an insurance investigator.

Funny...

I have a personal situation involving a rare coin.

Perhaps we could help each other.

Any indication he knows where this last penny is?

No, and if he gets it, he gets the code and the treasure, which means we need to locate that penny before he does.

Our only interest is in stopping this guy.

The treasure's not our concern.

Oh, don't be such a spoilsport.

Aram: Okay.

Check this out.

I think I may have located the fourth penny.

All right, after the coins were minted, they disappeared for about 30 years.

No record of them anywhere.

But then, in 1975, they started to appear at auctions.

The missing penny was last sold in 1984, and, according to the bill of sale, the man who bought it passed away two years ago.

But did he have it when he d*ed?

Yes, and it was included in an extensive art collection that he left to the University of Pennsylvania.

So, they have the coin?

Yes and no.

I spoke to the head of donations at the university, and she says the coin is on loan at the Gabor Museum.

Ressler and Navabi, get to the museum.

Find out what they know.

How did you become aware of this?

A German auction house sold a cast fake of a litra from Sicily.

We have reason to believe that forger duplicated the 1943 coin you have on loan.

If so, you may be able to help us solve a case that would eclipse the Ready electrotypes sold by the British Museum.

Can that even be possible?

Other than secreting away a fortune and hiding its whereabouts in the pennies he minted, I know curiously little about your father.

Usually the person who creates a legend becomes legendary.

Why not him?

My father was...

a little man with big dreams.

Stern: He worked for the Treasury Department in Denver, started out as an apprentice.

His goal was to become a master engraver.

But then...

Then the Federal Reserve Notes went missing.

He had access, so he was a suspect, but was never charged.

They punished him anyway.

Demoted him to the maintenance staff, gave him a little office in the boiler room.

He worked weekends, holidays, sometimes he slept on a cot down there.

Then, in '43, the Mint made security upgrades.

The same year he put the cipher on the coins.

Within the year, he was let go.

My father spent the rest of his life living in the shadow of a crime nobody could prove he committed.

♪ ♪ He d*ed a broken man.

Penniless.

A lowly maintenance worker, and yet, what he did is...

legendary.

What he allegedly did.

Sometimes I wonder if that's all there is...

a legend.

If the pennies hold the secret to your inheritance, why didn't your father give them to you?

He did, in his will.

But at the time, I was a snot-nosed 16-year-old, and to me, he was a failure who'd been accused of a crime he had nothing to show for.

So I spent them on candy...

four fireballs.

Whoops.

The next month, his executor gave me a letter my father had left for me.

That's when I learned that the pennies were the key to a great treasure.

And you spent the past 40 years looking for it.

Stern: The Mint was built in 1897.

The boiler room's in the basement.

It hasn't been used since renovations were done in '43, abandoning the old boiler room.

Professor: Construction documents show it was sealed off during the renovations...

no doors, no windows.

A new vault blocks the only entrance.

What about the air-duct system?

The ducts could give us access if we were pencil thin and weighed under 50 pounds.

We're not getting in through the ducting.

Production supplies, trash, and food deliveries pass through daily, but all require IDs.

[Camera shutter clicking]

We'd need a hell of a story to get through the gate.

We'd still have to contend with the surveillance.

Which is extensive...

cameras on the production floor, cameras in the halls.

What about the vault?

The only way into the boiler room is through that vault.

Which is made of steel and concrete.

So, this is the holding vault?

Yes, when banks hand over their mutilated bills, they're brought here to have their authenticity validated before being shredded and sent to waste energy facilities for disposal.

Professor: 16-inch thick concrete.

Concrete that can only be accessed from inside the vault, which means...

No water supply.

We'd have to dry-cut with diamond blades.

Are you telling me that Stern's father's treasure is in the Mint?

He's certainly convinced so.

But the more I think about it, I'm not so sure there's any treasure at all.

I mean, treasure?

[Chuckling]

Really?

Who knows.

Either way, I'm afraid I can't chat.

I've got my hands full with a bit of a plumbing problem.

Good luck with Stern.

I have faith in you, Harold.

You always get your man.

I just committed the crime of the 21st.

Except it isn't a crime.

Hundreds of millions in Federal Reserve Notes payable on demand, which the Treasury says don't exist.

The Mint said nothing was stolen.

And so the treasure myth lives on.

I appreciate you telling me that truth...

but it isn't the one I was looking for.

The evidence locker.

What about it?

What you took, aside from the penny.

I didn't take anything else.

Evidence was logged in material to the disappearance of Robert Navarro...

a person of interest in the death of Tom Keen.

You didn't take it?

No, I did not.

...but I'm pretty sure he meant it as a compliment.

Is everything okay?

Dembe said it was urgent.

You're to be congratulated.

I may be old, but I'm not an old fool, and you completely hoodwinked me and Harold.

He thinks I stole a bloody rag from evidence.

Right.

About that...

You were the anonymous tip.

You told the MPD that the penny was about to be stolen.

You knew if they stopped the robbery in progress, they'd book the penny into evidence.

And you didn't call me to help me steal the penny or to distract you from your obsession with Tom's k*ller.

You called me to help me help you retrieve a rag covered in your blood...

evidence that might have convicted you of murdering Robert Navarro.

I did not intend to k*ll him.

I intended to get him to identify Tom's k*ller.

He got the upper hand.

There was a fight.

Where's the body?
