00:00You
00:30I'd say, are you sure New Orleans is the right place?
00:46But where else are you going to find tasteful decor like that?
00:50The symbol isn't popping up on any database.
00:53Good news is, neither are entire towns being gobbled up by plants.
00:56So whatever Mila's up to, she's keeping it close to the vest for now.
01:01Oka was the god of harvests.
01:03Yameja is water.
01:05She's definitely keeping with the environmental theme.
01:07Whatever she's up to, this symbol has something to do with it.
01:11Yeye said it was an answer to my question.
01:15Wait, what was your question?
01:19Sorry.
01:22Don't do that!
01:23Mystic Voodoo Museum and Emporium.
01:35Whoa, hold on!
01:37Slow your roll, smash and grab.
01:40Look!
01:40Hmm.
01:53Have you looked at the symbology text in the library?
02:04Yes, nada.
02:06Have you tried to...
02:07Good night, Zip.
02:12We'll know more in a few hours.
02:14Can't save the world if you don't live in it.
02:16You know, when we were at uni, I thought you'd grow out of this.
02:32What?
02:32Fun?
02:34Yeah.
02:35I don't know.
02:36I guess I thought life beats everyone down eventually.
02:40I should have known better.
02:41Welcome, welcome to the Mystic Voodoo Museum.
03:11Welcome to the Mystic Voodoo Museum and Emporium, my good friends.
03:15I am Chartreuse.
03:18Please, enter and explore my Cave of Wonder.
03:22What's all the Iron for?
03:32Well, it's to ward off evil.
03:34But do not fear, my good friends.
03:37Evil cannot cross a doorway crowned in iron.
03:41That is a fact.
03:43Come, come.
03:44This way.
03:44Take a journey to the birth of Voodoo.
03:53Hundreds of years ago, African slaves were forced across the Middle Passage.
03:58Very terrible.
04:00And brought to New Orleans to work in our lively markets and thriving plantations.
04:05But, as one particular ship returned, that with rich African treasures and idols, it was pulled down to the bottom of the sea, by a creature said to be of enormous size and godlike strength.
04:22And, as the ship broke across the depths, its hull was scattered along the sand, unleashing all manner of dangerous Voodoo across the city that haunts us still.
04:37Oh, what horseshit.
04:42Beg your pardon?
04:43Voodoo isn't dangerous.
04:45It's a belief in spirits being connected.
04:48It says we all live in the Great Cosmic Africa as one.
04:52It's the opposite of evil and dangerous.
04:56Who is this?
04:57Ah, the Lord of Crossroads.
05:01He dwells between the living and the dead.
05:04It is said without Papa Legba, nothing can come into being.
05:10Papa Legba?
05:11The slaves would have called him Eshu.
05:14With one look, he could turn you into a chicken.
05:18He once urinated on a tree and the entire forest died.
05:22He is the god of evil and the bringer of dead.
05:28But don't worry, there is a protection salve made of Elkhorn, sugar, and mangler leaves in the gift shop.
05:35Huh?
05:35Ooh.
05:36Why would the god of Crossroads need to be feared?
05:40Because he is the only spirit who can steal from both humans and gods alike.
05:45He is insidious.
05:48Dangerous.
05:48Hey, this is all just to sell you trinkets and voodoo dolls, okay?
05:52To make us feel different.
05:54Hold on, I'll take over from here.
05:56Ponzi-swindling snake oil salesman?
06:03I don't know, Elsie.
06:04I find it hard to believe your answer is in there.
06:08Me too.
06:09But even the most absurd legends start from a truth.
06:12But which part is true?
06:13Can we think of our beignets?
06:29Ooh, and gumbo.
06:32What exactly is a movoletta?
06:34Why are you following us?
06:40Who do you work for?
06:41Uh, uh, the god almighty.
06:45Lara!
06:45What are you doing?
06:47This man's been following us since we got here.
06:49Huh?
06:50And I'd like to know why.
06:52Yeah, take what I got.
06:53I'm sorry.
06:56Lara!
06:56Lara, oh my god!
06:58You're so embarrassing!
07:05Start talking.
07:07You promised me a drink.
07:12Whiskey straight, please.
07:13Uh, hurricane, please.
07:15Heavy on the passion fruit.
07:17My kind of guy.
07:18What is that symbol?
07:19Uh, where?
07:21On your chest.
07:21Oh, a bathmark.
07:25It gives me, what do you call it?
07:27Edge.
07:30Thank you for noticing.
07:31Hmm.
07:33Look, everyone comes to New Orleans to find something.
07:37A life they can't have back home.
07:40A looseness their mama would spank them for.
07:45But you?
07:47Uh-uh.
07:48You've come for the mystery of New Orleans.
07:50Yes, I can tell.
07:53Treasure hunters, right?
07:56Marauders of relics.
07:59Baglers of bones.
08:04Oh my god.
08:05Why does everyone keep saying we're...
08:07Yeah, treasure hunters, big time.
08:09I can tell.
08:11Your keen interest was easily spotted, Monfrey's.
08:13Whenever Shatrous the Obtuse
08:18talks up the shipwreck in his little museum play,
08:21someone always walks out looking for scuba lessons.
08:24Yeah, well, Lara already knows how to scuba.
08:27Hmm, fancy folk.
08:30The point is,
08:31Trucy thinks it's all fun and ticket sales.
08:33But irony is, he's right.
08:35There's a whole lot of loot down there.
08:37Just waiting for someone crazy enough
08:41to believe Trucy enough
08:42to believe me.
08:44Believe you about what?
08:46Uh, where it is.
08:49Mm-hmm.
08:50Then why haven't you gotten it yourself?
08:52I'm more of a middleman, Sassifras.
08:54Wet feet and dirty hands are for chumps.
08:56Oh, what do you know about the loot?
09:01Hmm.
09:02That wasn't just a slave ship
09:04that was sunk out in those waters.
09:07No, ma'am.
09:08It was the ship carrying
09:10the great Obaba Njoku himself.
09:14The good king of the rivers.
09:17You know, they even named the ship after him.
09:19After they burned his kingdom to the ground
09:22and loaded up their hull with his treasures.
09:24It was...
09:25It was the final spit in the face.
09:30Obaba Njoku was the colloquial name
09:32of a French slave ship
09:34operating around the 1700s
09:35called the Afri-Kane.
09:37What happened to it?
09:39It looks like it left the African coast
09:41for New Orleans and never made it.
09:43And was never found.
09:45Trucy thinks it was full of voodoo stuff.
09:48But it was treasure.
09:50Bread.
09:52Dough.
09:53Scratch.
09:54Loli.
09:55Loli.
09:57Loli.
09:58Yeah.
10:00Hey.
10:03One thing Trucy does get right
10:06is the great sea beast
10:08that dragged it down, down, down.
10:14A great sea beast.
10:17Oh, an echo.
10:19Look, I'm a simple man
10:23with an irrational fear of dark water
10:25that I share with most people, by the way.
10:27Nobody's got the ovaries
10:29to go after the treasure.
10:30And those that have...
10:32That's what you're waiting for, right?
10:37Money in return for the location.
10:41Money's a construct.
10:44I want five hurricanes,
10:46a hotel for the week,
10:48kind of a new pair of shoes.
10:51Um, done.
10:54Kaiube.
10:56Zip.
10:56Got it.
10:57Mapping it now.
10:58Tara, what's happening?
11:00He has the symbol.
11:02Yeah.
11:02Also a drinking problem.
11:03Maybe he'll lead us to exactly what we need?
11:06Oh.
11:22Hmm.
11:30Yeah.
11:30Okay.
11:31Check.
11:32Loud and clear.
11:33If we see any signs of Fig or Mila up here,
11:36we'll let you know.
11:37And watch out for the sea beasts.
11:40Hmm.
11:58Hmm.
11:59I will never doubt a drunk over again.
12:03I wonder if he came on a ship like this.
12:30Who?
12:31Whoever it was.
12:33The first Zip who stepped foot in America.
12:36You don't know where your family's from?
12:39In elementary school,
12:40they had Heritage Day.
12:42Bring food,
12:43do a report on what country your family came from.
12:47All my friends were excited to bring their bratwurst
12:49and their garlic naan.
12:51And I told my mom I was sick that day.
12:55So I wouldn't have to go.
12:59I mean,
13:00it'd be nice to visit where the fam's from.
13:03But, uh...
13:04I just don't know where to visit.
13:05I don't know where to visit.
13:27Now, first of all, I guess we'll have to find out a reasonable thing...
13:28Let's go.
13:58Seriously?
14:05Go away, woman!
14:28Lara! Get out the water!
14:40Let's go.
14:42Let's go.
14:46Let's go.
15:14Oh, my God.
15:16Lara?
15:18Come on.
15:20Come on.
15:22Come on.
15:24Let's go.
15:54Let's go.
16:24Let's go.
16:30This really does help.
16:35So, Mila is finding and taking Orisha masks.
16:40She kills Orisha to gain its power.
16:43So she has Oko's plans.
16:45And the water mask is safe with sexy amaze, y'all lady.
16:47She clearly wants whatever this power is, too.
16:50So whoever these masks belong to, they're in danger.
16:54Pretty sure it's Abeji.
16:56The look of surprise cuts deep.
17:01Here.
17:05Abeji.
17:06You heard of Castor and Pollux?
17:09Romulus and Remus?
17:11Saints Cosmos and Damien?
17:13The medieval physicians.
17:15All twins.
17:16Bingo.
17:17Cosmos and Damien were twin healers.
17:19They traveled across the Holy Land and Europe during some of the worst plagues and wars in history.
17:24If I'm right, and we know the odds there,
17:27I think all these twins from legend were actually Taiwo and Kehinde.
17:33The Orisha Abeji.
17:33So, Mila wants the power to heal?
17:39If Taiwo and Kehinde were actually Cosmos and Damien,
17:42they were executed for heresy in the Roman prefect of Cilicia in Turkey.
17:47I don't get it.
17:48So, Abeji are already dead?
17:51Who's dead?
17:53Uh, how did he get in here?
17:57Hey, tiny man.
17:59Clearly the brains of the operation.
18:01And the sharpest.
18:03Nice suit.
18:03Finally.
18:05The hobo gets it.
18:07You find the loot?
18:11I mentioned the 30% finder's fee, right?
18:16Orisha.
18:17Interesting course of study.
18:20My father loved these stories.
18:23Hey, Abeji.
18:25The healers.
18:26Interesting fact.
18:27Unlike other Orisha,
18:29they are not tied to a tribe of people, no.
18:31They go wherever they are needed.
18:35Goody laddie, that two shoes.
18:40Orisha masks are made of meteorites.
18:43Comets orbit the sun.
18:45Technically, they don't hit that.
18:46Seriously.
18:47Seriously.
18:48Where's the hole, ladies?
18:51Truth is mad, but it's not crazy.
18:54The sea beast, take it?
18:56Where did you find that?
19:06On the ship.
19:07Just like you said.
19:08No.
19:09The ship had treasure.
19:10Ivory.
19:11Relics.
19:12That...
19:12Why was that there?
19:17Where's the other one?
19:18It's gone.
19:22You know who this belongs to.
19:29The symbol on your chest.
19:31I saw it in a vision.
19:33Your measure told me it would lead to answers.
19:35You are an Orisha.
19:41Who does this mask belong to?
19:44Taiwo.
19:46My sister.
19:48Then Taiwo's twin is in danger.
19:50Do you know where she is?
19:54Taiwo will know.
19:55So Yemi told you about me, eh?
20:03That's sweet.
20:04She must like you.
20:06Or really, really hate you.
20:11Why is that?
20:18Because I am the trickster extraordinaire.
20:22The messenger for humanity.
20:25The warrior spirit.
20:28Papa Legba.
20:29Hey!
20:30All around important person.
20:32You get the drinks.
20:33You're welcome for knowing me.
