Well, like you said, this is science.

And the numbers don't lie.

I did say that, didn't I?

And the great thing is, I'm right.

- Me too.

But until this is done,

Of course.

I mean it.

You have to promise.

This stays between us.

Isn't he one of the Kennedys?

Not really... he's just

Oh, right.

So this is your social circle?

It was, back when I worked

I mean, I knew that

Mm. I guess it was.

Thank you.

Hold on, hold on, she dug

Yeah, that's a first for me too.

She's single, no kids,
no family in the area.

She worked as a geologist at Columbia,

You mean she was making

Yeah... oil, precious metals,

We all do it once or twice

Things seemed to be going

What was she speculating on?

She'd have told me if the mining rights

had been locked down, but in her shoes,

I wouldn't have said anything, either.

Sorry, every document we have
gets imaged and tagged,

but these are so old,
it was under the old system.

- Sometimes it takes a while.
- [COMPUTER BEEPS]

There. Here we go.

So what are we looking at here?

A set of pamphlets created by

the Knights of the Golden Circle

- to promote their agenda.
- I've heard of them.

Weren't they some kind
of white supremacy group?

Yes, they were a secret society active

during the American Civil w*r.

In the event the Confederacy lost,

they intended to establish
a new pro-sl*very nation.

What does that even mean?

Havana was supposed to be the capital.

It would have included
the American South, Mexico,

parts of South America,
plus Cuba, Haiti,

and the Dominican Republic.

All right, but the Confederacy did lose.

So what happened?

No one really knows.

I guess they all just
went on with their lives.

Are these pamphlets valuable at all?

They're not the most iconic documents

of the Golden Circle, but to
certain people, definitely.

What do you mean?

There were some pretty famous
people rumored to be members...

John Wilkes Booth,
Nathan Bedford Forrest.

It was like a who's who
of the anti-Union movement

of their time.

And by anti-Union, you mean r*cist?

I'm just saying,
this kind of memorabilia

with the historical context,
unfortunately,

- it's probably worth a lot.
- [PHONE RINGING]

Like the n*zi paraphernalia
has value, right?

Awful, but yes, exactly like that.

Right.

Okay, thanks. We'll check it out.

Hana found another rare document theft

at the University

just two days before the theft here.

I mapped the dates

Not too long, though.

No, no, I'll get right on it.

Who else knows about this?

Just us.

And you.

Whew.

The trip to Philly paid off big time.

The unsub used an expired
Pennsylvania driver's license

to get into the UPenn library.

His name is Leonard Oxridge.

Philly PD went
to the address on his license,

but neighbors said he hadn't
lived there in years.

We got an address?

Yeah, I'm running the databases now.

So Oxridge stole a Civil w*r-era map

of a rural area in Pennsylvania
known as Blackburn's k*ll.

Is there a market for maps like that?

I don't know, the map is rare,

but not particularly valuable.

I found something on
Lydia Washburn's hard drive.

You know, she recently conducted

a series of core soil samples.

The results show the average . gram

per ton of precious metal.

What kind of precious metal?

Gold.

Well, that must have been
her side hustle.

What does that mean, grams per ton?

Well, anything higher than grams

is considered a gold mine.

So this suggests that she found a stash

- of solid gold bars.
- Hmm.

Well, that sounds like
a motive for m*rder.

Yeah, definitely. Hold on.

I just got a hit on Leonard Oxridge.

How's Oxridge?

He didn't make it.

Damn it.

Gonna have PD set a perimeter.

You stay there and search
that place high and low.

This guy was obviously
looking for something.

Far as I can tell, Oxridge had no links

to any white supremacy groups.

Okay, but I did find
some ties to other groups.

He was active on a bunch
of treasure hunting websites.

What kind of treasure hunters?

The kind looking for Civil w*r gold

at Blackburn's k*ll
in Knox County, Pennsylvania.

He was hooked on this
one story in particular.

Check this out.

In the summer of ,
a large transport of gold bars

was being moved from
Wheeling, West Virginia,

to the U.S. Mint in Philadelphia
in false-bottomed wagons

to help finance the Union w*r effort.

Sounds like the start of a fairy tale.

I know it sounds crazy,
but bear with me.

So this Lieutenant Castleton
hired a local guide.

But right off the bat,
the lieutenant got sick,

and the guide ran off with the horses.

Now the rest of the group
went to go and get help.

The lieutenant and Sergeant O'Rourke

stayed behind with the gold.

Now neither men or the gold
were ever seen again.

Surprise, surprise.

I can't say I blame the guys for
taking off with the gold, though.

- Oh, yeah?
- Oh, yeah.

Brand-new beginning,
all lux, all the time?

- Come on.
- [BOTH CHUCKLE]

So basically, we'd just
never see you again

- if you won the lottery?
- No.

And all this took place in
Blackburn's k*ll, Pennsylvania?

Yeah, so they say.

Okay, Knights of the Golden Circle.

What do they have to do with all this?

Here's the thing.

There's no record
of any shipment of gold

by the Union Army at that time,
and there's no m*llitary records

of any Lieutenant Castleton
or a Sergeant O'Rourke.

So it is a fairy tale?

Maybe, but there is another
theory about the gold.

Some people think it was the
Knights of the Golden Circle

who transported it.

Now the KGC used pamphlets
as coded directions

for locations.

Pamphlets are what Oxridge
stole from the National Archive.

- Mm-hmm.
- Right.

So we're looking
for someone who's trying

to put a map together to find the gold.

Whoever hired Oxridge had him
steal those documents

so no one else could
use them in the same way.

And Oxridge and Lydia were k*lled

so that they would be cut out
of their share of the find.

Greed is a very powerful motive.

Guys, I found a stash
at Oxridge's apartment.

Stolen pamphlets and Civil w*r map,

government ID he used
to get into the archive,

and Oxridge's cell.

There's over calls to a Tommy Thorne

in Conroy, PA, the last two days.

- This is in Knox County?
- Yeah.

Did you try the number?

It goes straight to voicemail.

Guess what National Guard unit

Tommy Thorne used to serve in?

th Striker Brigade.

Him and his brother, Buck.

They've both got convictions
for trespassing with firearms.

They're both on social media.

Oh, wow.

Redneck treasure hunters.

They're connected to Oxridge,

and they want those pamphlets and maps,

either to sell them
or to find that gold.

Alleged gold.

Whether that gold exists
or not doesn't matter.

What matters is that
our unsub thinks it does.

- Right.
- Guy's got gold fever.

He's willing to k*ll anybody
that gets in his way.

Send that last known to everyone's GPS.

Toby, you don't want to do this.

She took it!

She took the gold, and she
stashed it here somewhere.

No, I didn't.

He doesn't know what he's talking about.

Yes, I do.

Tell them.

Let her go, Toby.

She's just a kid.

I have her on video from my trail cam

taking gold out of that cave.

Take the sh*t when you got it, Ray.

- It's not true.
- Shut up! Shut up!

I believe you, Toby.

But this isn't gonna solve anything.

Put the g*n down.

It's too late for that.

There is gold right here.

Make her...
make her show me where it is.

Make her show me where it is.

- He's crazy.
- And I'll let her go.

He dragged me out here.

No, no!

I followed you out here.

I don't know what he's talking about.

Yes, you do! Stop lying!

What a circus.

[REPORTERS CHATTERING]

What the hell is going on?

The excavation was a bust.

We spent all night looking,
but there's no gold in there.

We dug so far down,
we penetrated the water table

and flooded the cave.

That's not possible.

That gravimeter reading
is like a fingerprint.

How do you explain that?

Well, it looks like
the good people of Knox County

think you're a liar.

They're entitled
to their alternative facts

if that's what they want.

Maybe they just know
when they're being gaslit.

Not to mention a bunch of people

saw armored trucks going up
and down the hill all night.

Empty trucks because
there was no gold to remove.

It was a nice story,
but that's all it was.

This whole thing was a myth.

Well, while you've been
digging in the dirt,

we've been getting real results.

We caught that k*ller and saved a kid.

Stolen pamphlets and map.

Since this is your case now,
you can return these

to the National Archive.

What's in the envelope?
Is that the treasure map?

Why are you lying?

Did you confiscate the gold
for the Treasury Department?

You can't hide what you're doing!

- We need some answers.
- Everybody saw those trucks.

You can't hide what you're doing.

Hey, you okay?

Yeah.

So what Toby said about
having a camera planted

on the trail, is that true?

I don't know, but I doubt it.

The man's a psycho and a liar.

Yeah, he is.

Plus, I was up there
enough looking for the cave.

I'm sure I would have seen it.

So let's say for giggles, it is true.

Would it show you taking gold
out of that cave?

How could it? You heard the lady.

There wasn't any gold.

How could I steal something
that was never there?

You're a smart cookie, Sadie.

♪ ♪

Well, that sounds like a crazy case.

It was.

Hey, do you ever think about

what you'd do if you won the lottery?

Like, the big one, million bucks.

I've fantasized about it, yeah.

Doesn't everybody?

I guess.

But is there such a thing
as too much money?

So much that it takes the fun
out of everything?

You know, money's freedom,
especially to people

- who've never had it before, so.
- Hmm.

Is this how you spent your day,

thinking about being filthy rich?

Part of it, and part of it dealing

with what it can do to people.

Anyway, I can think of better ways

to spend my time right now.

[PHONE RINGING]

Oh.

Doorman.

Hey, Georgie. What's up?

Okay.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Thanks, Georgie.

- Package, I gotta sign for it.
- Oh, no worries.

You know, I'm gonna get out
of these clothes.

Oh, I like that idea.

Fiona?

Wow, I thought you were
the delivery man.

Delivery? Yes.

Man? I take no offense.

Mind if I come in?

Oh, amazing.

Thanks.

Seriously, look at this place.

You still got it, don't you?

Here.

What's this?

You won your silent auction item.

You know, you could have
just popped it in the mail.

Oh, I know, but I was so excited you

came the other night, I just...

I wanted to give it to you personally.

Oh.

Oh, I'm sorry. I mean, I didn't realize.

No, no, no, no, it's okay.

April Brooks, this is Fiona Paley.

Fiona was the cochair
of the gala the other night.

She was kind enough
to hand-deliver my auction win.

Hi, and congratulations.

- That was a lovely event.
- Thank you.

And I wish I would have
met you the other night.

Anyway, I should have called first.

It was lovely to meet you, April.

- You too.
- And congratulations.

Remy, I have to run.

- So what'd you get?
- I don't know.

Three nights at the Sun Valley Lodge.

That swimming with horses thing?

Mm-hmm.

That bid was at grand when we left.

- How high did you go?
- Hmm.

It's for a worthy cause.

Is it the cause, or is it Fiona?

April, come on.

She's just an old friend.

- Yeah, okay.
- We talked about this.

No baggage, no commitments,
no craziness.

- Let's just do us.
- I know.

You have your past, I have mine,

and never the twain shall meet.

Exactly.

Yeah.

You're not mad, are you?

Oh, come on. Don't be mad.

I'm not mad.

Then where are you going?
