The Lost Symbol	comment	The Lost Symbol, published in 2009 and provisionally known as The Solomon Key, is the third entry in Dan Brown's novel series starring Harvard symbologist Robert Langdon.This time, the story explores the mysteries of the Freemasons and is set in Washington D.C.. Langdon is invited to D.C. by an old friend and mentor (and also not-so-secretly a top-rung Mason), only to discover that he has been an Unwitting Pawn, manipulated by what seems to be a raving lunatic who kidnapped said mentor and now blackmails Langdon into solving the Freemasons' puzzles for him. The final prize in the game is the fabled treasure of Ancient Mysteries, which, Langdon insists, is immaterial but he doesn't have much choice. As if that wasn't complicated enough, the CIA shows up and demands the very same things of Langdon... except that they couldn't care less about his mentor's safety.A movie was announced as a sequel to Angels and Demons, but was scrapped in favour of an adaptation of Inferno. In 2020, NBC ordered a pilot adaptation, with a series order following in March 2021, when it was announced that the adaptation would move to Peacock. Brown executive produces the series, alongside Ron Howard and Brian Grazer, director and producer of the live-action films based on Brown's Langdon-centric books. Ashley Zukerman stars as Langdon, and the cast also includes Valorie Curry, Sumalee Montano, Rick Gonzalez, Eddie Izzard, and Beau Knapp. It began streaming on September 16, 2021, and its trailer can be seen here. For tropes about the series, see here.

The Lost Symbol / int_4061b99	comment	Water Torture: The villain tortures Langdon into solving the last puzzle for him by placing him in a coffin and slowly filling it with water. This is especially bad for Langdon, since he also has severe claustrophobia. Langdon actually technically does drown, but doesn't die because the liquid isn't water but actually "oxygenated perfluorocarbons", a substance that is actually breathable by the human lungs. The coffin is actually an advanced sensory deprivation tank that Mal'akh uses for deep meditation, which he altered to torture Peter and Langdon. However, Sato later reveals the concept is based on a CIA technique, whereby the victim can be repeatedly drowned and brought back by an interrogator (as opposed to waterboarding, which only simulates this). After a few drownings, the victim loses the ability to tell if they are dead or alive, and will tell the interrogator absolutely anything.

Zachary changed his mind about the short-sighted decision between wealth or wisdom he made as a young man, and c.) the fact that Peter did not recognize Zachary, after Zachary had taken steroids, shaved his head, gotten tattoos, etc, etc. Zachary's first beef was his having to decide between A. a pot of money right there and then, and B. the wisdom of the ancients revealed several years down the road plus that pot of money complete with interest, which included his dad's Good Ole Boy Network Approval, in whatever he planned to do. Zach grudgingly admits he hadn't thought things through at the time.
