Recap

The team gets word that one of Damien Moreau's guys, John Douglas Keller, is coming through. They track him coming in from Baghdad, moving antiquities. They figure he's bringing in a smuggled antiquity, and his bodyguards are outside so they hit him as he gets off the plane. Parker is ready to move in and do a briefcase switch, get what he's bringing in, and put the hooks into him. Keller meets his one bodyguard and Eliot moves in, but a young girl, A'yan, approaches an undercover Eliot and asks him for help. Nate takes his place while Eliot escorts the girl over to the person meeting him. The team realizes that Keller hasn't made a switch and must have his smuggled goods coming in separately. Hardison, posing as a customs inspector, greets Keller. The alerts go off and a security team moves in on A'yan and arrests her for smuggling. Hardison has no choice but to let Keller go. Keller confirms with his bodyguard, Ennis, that the other girls he has smuggling his goods made it through and dismisses her as an acceptable loss. Nate sends the others to follow Keller, and Sophie insists that they talk to A'yan and find out what's going on. Nate warns that it's too dangerous, but lets her talk to the girl's family...

Episode Quotes
Parker: Yeah, but unlike a stolen Monet or the Rosalind Diamond, these pieces aren't registered or insured, so they're impossible to track. Man, I should've got into that years ago. Yeah. I mean before we went straight, of course.

Nate: Hardison, are you in their computers yet?
Alec: Accessing. Okay, a-apparently the computer system is also an antique. Possibly steam-powered, which would be cool.

(spotting an antiquity)
Parker: Oh, hello. Last time I saw you as at the Louvre. Well, actually you were in the back seat of my car, but before that you were at the Louvre.
Nate: Parker, focus!
Parker: Okay.

Alec: Small one is land purchases--old manor houses up for auction, all within the last two years, all in Scotland. Ha! Places like, uh... Loch Glengorra... and Loch McGr-r-r... I'm not even gonna try to pronounce it, man. It's just a bunch of random Gs and Ns.

Eliot: Who's the Duchess of Hanover?
Alec: And what's a lost barony?
Parker: Can I keep the statue?
Sophie: We have a lot of work to do--about 200 years' worth, actually.
Nate: All right, guys, let's go steal a royal title.

Nate: The name of this con is called "The Mummy's Tiara."
Alec: Come on, man, that can't be real.
Parker: Am I gonna have to steal a corpse again?

Eliot: What’s that smell?
Alec: Uh, y-you don't want to know how they wet paper back in the day.
Eliot: Did you...
Alec: Do not ask me, man.
Eliot: Damn it, Hardison!
Alec: Why you so sensitive? You touch worse.
Eliot: I'm going out for baba ghanoush!
