The looting of Babylonian relics from the Iraq war starts a trail that intertwines with the destiny of the Middle East, as the drama continues.
Opportunistic war-zone journalist Jimmy Paul attempts to flog a Babylonian necklace and sacred tablet to dodgy antiquities dealer Max Garris, while Kahmil Hammadi, an Iraqi archaeologist and Gillian's ex-lover, arrives in Bath with a cultural delegation.
Gillian is suspicious of Kahmil's story to reclaim a looted brick from the Hanging Gardens of Babylon and, when Garris is found murdered, she knows there's more at stake than an ancient brick. The looted necklace, etched with a snake image of the Babylonian goddess of evil, Tiamet, leads the team to the writings of ancient gods. Kahmil is looking for The Tablet of Destinies, a sacred object which is inscribed with prophecies and has remained hidden since Alexander entered Babylon. He believes that it will bring hope to Iraq, but his brother is concerned that it will draw out occultists who follow Tiamet and Gillian fears that Kahmil is after glory – is he behind Garris's murder?
Photographic evidence locates the Tablet but the team is attacked by a venomous snake and they witness the grotesque death of Jimmy Paul. Are the followers of Tiamet behind this? Could Ali, the security guard who is looking after Khanna, a child chess genius from Iraq, be responsible or Rachel Highgrove, who is organising the cultural delegation?
The team must decipher the ancient cuneiform inscriptions of the Tablet that predict the name of "The Gate" – a person who will rise up and bring peace, unification and hope to Iraq.
Julie Graham stars as Professor Gillian Magwilde, Hugh Bonneville as Professor Gregory Parton, Adrian Lester as Doctor Ben Ergha, Gugu Mbatha Raw as Viv Davis and Michael Maloney as Professor Daniel Mastiff.
Guest stars in this week's episode include: Silas Carson as Kahmil, Darrell D'Silva as Anwar, Vicky Hall as Nurse Strong, Matt Rippy as Jimmy Paul, David Ryall as Max Garris, Nina Sosanya as Rachel and Frances Tomelty as Karen Magwilde.

It's the make-or-break final week as the search for Britain's Missing Top Model concludes. The three remaining models are about to face their most demanding and daunting challenge. The girls get their first taste of shooting on location at an East London housing estate.
In an unforgiving environment, and exposed to the elements, they must meet the demands of Amelia Troubridge, a photographer who has shot for Tatler, Vogue and Esquire. Amelia has high expectations and a need for energetic performances from all three girls. It's a genuine test of their stamina and will to win. The resulting photographs will see one of the women eliminated, as only two will go through to the final stage of the competition and tackle the most challenging assignment any would-be model could imagine – a nude shoot.
The competition reaches a nail-biting finale as the judges wrangle over who they believe is the deserving winner. The casting vote weighs heavy on the shoulders of one of the panel members, who has the responsibility of making one of the girls' dreams come true and leaving the other devastated.
Next week's show follows the winner's incredible photoshoot for Marie Claire, photographed by Rankin.
