At the U.S. Embassy in Prague, Ambassador Heide Nagel watches the Alchymist Hotel and reflects on having frightened media liaison Dana Daněk into compliance after revealing the covert operation Nagel accidentally uncovered. A Marine from the embassy security group reports that ÚZSI Captain Janáček has issued a public Blue Alert for American citizen Robert Langdon, claiming Langdon killed an ÚZSI officer. Nagel recognizes the allegation as false and fears Langdon will be killed if found.

Nagel immediately calls Mr. Finch on Signal and reports the worsening situation: ÚZSI is hunting Langdon with lethal intent, Katherine Solomon is missing, and Attaché Harris went to Crucifix Bastion and has stopped answering. Finch explodes at Nagel for not controlling ÚZSI; Nagel snaps back that the mess is Finch’s operation. Finch lowers his voice and warns Nagel to remember who put her in her position, reasserting his power over her.

Elsewhere, field officer Housemore, exhausted and barely slept, receives updated orders from Finch: go to Crucifix Bastion immediately and secure Gessner’s lab. Although Housemore understands Gessner is essential to Threshold, she knows Finch’s larger underground facility is located elsewhere, making the order feel like an emergency containment step. Finch also tells Housemore he is coming to Prague in person, confirming to Housemore that the mission is spiraling out of control.

In Old Town Square, the Golěm moves through tourists listening to a guide’s theatrical talk about Prague’s “monsters,” including the golem legend and Kafka’s Metamorphosis. The Golěm thinks about Kafka’s statue and the idea of a stronger figure carrying a weaker soul, which the Golěm connects to carrying Sasha. Refocusing on purpose, the Golěm heads north with a clear goal: infiltrate Threshold and destroy it, believing Sasha was not the first victim and others will follow unless it is ended forever.
