Then some of the people try looking for him and they were lying to him but he didn’t know little by little he start remembering who is really in his side. Langdon figures out that the virus is in the Hagia Sophia in Istanbul. Sienna abandons Langdon, revealing that she was Zobrists lover and that she will ensure the release of the virus. Zobrist and Sienna used to play treasure hunt games; this trail was the backup plan in case something happened to Zobrist. Langdon is recaptured by Bouchard, but is rescued by Sims and re-teams with Sinskey, who asked him for help in interpreting the imagery from the Faraday pointer. Sims reveals he was hired by Sienna to kidnap Langdon when Zobrist had been killed, and drugged with benzodiazepine to induce a memory loss; the events in the hospital were all staged.
