Robert decides to the cylinder to view closer and sees that there is a hi-tech projector is that an edited version of Botticelli's ' the map portrays the hell '.

At first glance, he could not, but when he took the card back in its original version was trying to recover, it occurred to him that the letters two Italian words were: ' cerca trova '.

As they cross the attic over, where Sienna it has faces Vayentha, which it does not reach in the fight. Sienna and Robert walk further to the baptistery, opposite the Dom, where they find the mask with a riddle of the current owner, Bertrand Zobrist. Sienna knows Bertrand Zobrist and explains later to Robert that he is a geneticist who against the growth of humanity is no longer under control because humanity itself has. He would also work on a way to a disease develop that would wipe out part of the world's population.

Ferris has some dirty spots, which seem suspiciously like those of the plague. They follow the puzzle suddenly falls unconscious to Venice, where Ferris. One thinks immediately of the plague, seen a disease could eradicate people worldwide. Sienna convinces Robert and makes him believe that Ferris succumbed to the effects of the plague, Zobrists pest.

<p style="margin-top:0.5em;margin-bottom:0.5em;line-height:22.399999618530273px;color:rgb(37,37,37);font-family:sans-serif;">At that time Robert is arrested by the soldiers, while Sienna manages to escape. They bring him to Elizabeth Sinskey, a woman he had in his mind and that he thought dreamed to have. It turns out to be the Director of the World Health Organization. She knows that Zobrist had committed suicide a week earlier, but also that he is a great supporter of Dante was. Elizabeth came via Zobrists safe to the cylinder and flew to Robert in Florence to the prompts. However, suddenly stopped communicating with Robert after the meeting with Marta and Wereldgezonheidsorganisatie therefore the Ignazio and feared that he had betrayed them and actually worked with Zobrist.

The consortium has a reputation of strict secrecy. He also had a video left behind in which the place where the plague was clogged was visible. The video was not clear, the only thing one heard and saw was water with a bag inside it. In the video indicated that the world would change the next day. Here the story is clearer: the Provost and his team (Vayentha) Robert kidnapped after meeting with Marta and Ignazio, but Robert had not yet fully solved the puzzle. They gave him a drug that would erase his short-term memory and created a nepwond on Roberts head. Sienna, Vayentha and Ferris are all actors to work for the Consortium. The phone call to the Consulate was even part of the feigned reality. The Consortium decided to collaborate with the World Health Organisation. And Ferris just had an allergic reaction.

Through the help of Robert is they found out where the plague stood. Robert had solved the puzzle for her after all. Robert didn't know if Sienna had to be the place where they had come to know, but if they didn't already know, then it would probably not be long. Robert itself found out that the Hagia Sophia in Istanbul was supposed to be, that is the place where Enrico Dandalo was buried. When they arrive there, they see that they are too late. Sienna had found the net for them. The bag was already broken and the way this happened, was genius: the disease would spread through the water that the whole of Istanbul provides of water distributed.

Sienna was eventually get on the good side, she tried to prevent the disaster. The only reason she looks so mysterious about had done, was because they didn't trust the World Health Organization. that works together with Governments and who are able to use incorrectly, the virus as a weapon.
