Episode 1
Faris Jawad is injured and moves through an apartment building to save his sister Dania from the antiquities smuggler, Quinten. Once he reaches Quinten's room, we see a flashback of events that lead Faris there.

Three weeks earlier, Faris and Dania were in Egypt near Giza, about to enter the Ahmose's Tomb. Faris entered the tomb, while Dania stayed outside and did research when needed. Faris reached the chamber, holding the Gold of Valor and took it. Mercenaries showed up, and Faris rushed back out while fighting them. When Faris reached outside, and ran for his car, it was blown up by Ozgur Saracoglu, the leader of the mercenaries. Faris and Ozgur proceeded to have a hand-to-hand fight, which was stopped by Dania who was riding a quad bike. Faris jumped on the quad bike, and they escaped through the desert, while hey were chased by the mercenaries and a helicopter, which Faris eventually shot down.

Faris got a call from Rasheed Al Kalabi, who invited them both to Tangier, Morocco. Rasheed had recently obtained a diary of his ancestor Ibn Juzzay Al Kalabi, detailing a location of a hidden unpublished journal of Ibn Battuta. Rasheed showed Faris and Dania around in Tangier, stopping for a while in the nearby cafe to explain his connection to Ibn Juzzay, before leading them to his home. They found Rasheed's home broken into and saw the thief jumping out of the window. Faris opted to chase the thief, but once he manged to catch up with the thief, the thief was shot by an unseen assailant. Police come to investigate, and Faris sneaked past them to the main road, where Rasheed and Dania picked him up in a car. Faris took the wheel and they then had a short carchase with the police, but once they managed to get away from the police, they drove towards Atlas Mountains.
