Synopsis for "The Woman from Aladdin"
2,000 years ago in Jerusalem, a man collected drops of Jesus Christ’s blood in the Holy Grail as he died on the cross. Roman soldier Longinus then pierced Christ’s side with his spear. In present-day Los Angeles, Lukasz attends a museum exhibition of the spear in his guise as Eden Blake. He magically senses its authenticity and thinks it may be powerful enough to turn him back into a man. That night, he returns as Mantra only to find strange, superpowered beings attacking the men guarding the spear. Mantra briefly grabs it and fights the creatures until one of them nullifies his powers. As they escape with the spear, the guards mistake Mantra for one of thieves, and he flees. Months later at Aladdin, Lukasz (now living as Eden) is ambushed after being summoned to the office of her supervisor, Dr. Sarn. She swiftly fends off her attacker, and Sarn appears to tell her she has passed the test. Sarn then briefs her on the disappearance of agent Blythe Ashwin in London while on assignment to retrieve the spear. Noting Eden resembles Ashwin, Sarn assigns her to go undercover as Ashwin and complete the mission. Eden receives field training, memory implantation, and a disguise to complete her cover. Upon arriving in London, she breaks into Ashwin’s hotel room and finds a clue pointing to a local night club. She goes there as Ashwin and meets up with German operatives who lead her to the basement and what they claim is the spear. When one of them forcibly kisses her, she decks him, starting a fight. She knocks out one, but another holds her at gunpoint until he is shot from behind and killed. The shooter, having seen her with the Germans in the club upstairs, demands to see her identification.
