:01:24
Grandpa!
:01:25
You're not supposed to be up here,
looking at that.
:01:29
I just wanted to know.
:01:33
Well, you're old enough, I suppose.
:01:36
You should know the story.
:01:40
OK, here we go.
:01:43
It was 1832.
:01:47
On a night much like this.
:01:57
Charles Carroll was the last surviving
signer of the Declaration of Independence.
:02:04
He was also a member
of a secret society known as the Masons.
:02:08
And he knew he was dying.
:02:11
He woke up his stable boy
in the middle of the night
:02:14
and ordered him to take him to
the White House to see Andrew Jackson,
:02:18
because it was urgent
that he speak to the president.
:02:22
Did he talk to him?
:02:24
No. He never got the chance.
:02:27
The president wasn't there that night.
:02:31
But Charles Carroll had a secret.
:02:34
So he took into his confidence
the one person he could,
:02:38
my grandfather's grandfather,
:02:41
Thomas Gates.
:02:43
What was the secret?
:02:48
A treasure.
:02:51
A treasure beyond all imagining.
:02:58
A treasure that had been
fought over for centuries
