Cryptographer Peter Amundsen's work on the Shakespeare headstone in Stratford-upon-Avon reveals complex ciphers allegedly planted by Francis Bacon. By applying Baconian grid ciphers to the poem's irregular capitalization, Amundsen identified the names "William Shakespeare" and "Francis Bacon" hidden within the text. His documentary, "Seven Steps to Mercy," further links these codes to Masonic symbolism and the play "Hamlet," suggesting a deliberate trail left for future decoders.

Green reveals that his decoding efforts point to a physical location: the altar stone of Holy Trinity Church in Stratford-upon-Avon. He explains the Hebrew concept of the "Dvir" (the Holy of Holies) and its connection to the name Edward De Vere. The segment describes the traditional construction of consecrated Catholic altar stones, which contain a "saint's cavity" for holding holy relics.

Green discusses the immense resistance from the Stratfordian community and the Church of England regarding his theories. Because the town's multi-billion dollar tourism industry relies on the traditional Shakespeare story, officials are hesitant to investigate the altar. Green admits to performing an unauthorized ground-penetrating radar scan of the altar after being denied formal permission by the Bishop.
