Stop now.

Tell me where it is.

You and your brethren possess

what is not rightfully yours.

I don't know what

you are talking about.

Is it a secret you will die for?

- Please.

- As you wish.

Wait!

My God, forgive me.

In the sacristy...

...the church of Saint-Sulpice,

is the Rose Line.

Beneath the Rose.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Symbols are a language that

can help us understand our past.

As the saying goes,

a picture says a thousand words...

...but which words?

Interpret for me, please, this symbol.

First thing that comes to mind.

- Hatred, racism.

- Ku Klux Klan.

Yes, yes, interesting. But they would

disagree with you in Spain.

There, they are robes

worn by priests.

Now this symbol. Anyone?

Evil.

In English, please.

Devil's pitchfork.

Poor, poor Poseidon.

That is his trident. A symbol of power

to millions of the ancients.

Now this symbol.

- Madonna and child.

- Faith. Christianity.

No. No, it's the pagan god

Horus and his mother, Isis...

...centuries before

the birth of Christ.

Understanding our past

determines actively...

...our ability to understand

the present.

So how do we sift truth from belief?

How do we write our own histories,

personally or culturally...

...and thereby define ourselves?

How do we penetrate years,

centuries, of historical distortion...

...to find original truth?

Tonight, this will be our quest.

My son is a student

of yours at Harvard.

- Michael Culp? He adores you.

- Oh, yeah.

He says you're the best teacher

he's ever had.

Ms. Culp, I think I already gave

Michael an A-minus.

He told me. Thank you.

Mr. Langdon?

Hi.

Bonjour, professor.

I'm Lieutenant Collet from DCPJ.

A kind of French FBI.

Will you take a look

at this photo, please?

My police chief, Capitaine Fache,

had hoped...

...considering your expertise

and the markings on the body...

...you might assist us.

Will you excuse me a moment?

I was supposed to have

drinks with him.

Yes, we know.

We found your name

in his daily planner.

He never showed.

I waited for over an hour.

Why would someone do this to him?

Oh, you misunderstand, professor.

He was shot, yes.

But what you see

in the photograph...

...Monsieur Saunire did to himself.

Teacher, all four are dead.

The snchaux and the

Grand Master himself.

Then I assume

you have the location.

Confirmed by all.

Independently.

I had feared the Priory's penchant

for secrecy might prevail.

The prospect of death

is strong motivation.

It is here.

In Paris, Teacher.

It hides beneath the Rose

in Saint-Sulpice.

You will go forth, Silas.

I chastise my body.

Capitaine Fache is waiting for you.

Okay.

- Mr. Langdon.

- Yes.

I'm Captain Bezu Fache.

You like our pyramid?

It's magnificent.

A scar on the face of Paris.

After me, please.

It's the pairing

of those two pyramids.

It's unique.

The two are geometric echoes.

Fascinating.

I'm not sure how much help

I'm gonna be here this evening.

How well did you know the curator?

Not very well.

Frankly, I was surprised

when he contacted me.

Could we take the stairs?

So Saunire requested

tonight's meeting.

Yes.

How? Did he call you?

E-mail. He heard I was in Paris.

Had something to discuss.

What?

You seem uncomfortable.

The Grand Gallery.

This is where you found the body.

How would you know that?

I recognize the parquet floor

from the Polaroid. It's unmistakable.

Dear God.

Let's cover the talking points again,

Your Eminence.

Many call Opus Dei

a brainwashing cult.

Others, an ultraconservative

Christian secret society.

Obviously, some people fear

what they don't understand.

Perhaps a less defensive tack,

Your Eminence.

The press continue

to be harsh with us.

We are not Cafeteria Catholics.

We don't pick and choose

which rules to follow.

We follow doctrine. Rigorously.

Does doctrine necessarily

include vows of chastity, tithing...

...and atonement for sins through

self-flagellation and the cilice?

Many of our followers are married.

Many of them have families.

Only a small proportion

choose to live ascetic lives.

- Why are some media referring..?

- That will be all, Michael, thank you.

Aringarosa.

Silas has succeeded.

The legend is true.

It hides beneath the Rose.

My part of our bargain

is nearly fulfilled.

I meet the council in an hour.

I will have your money tonight,

Teacher.

The Vitruvian Man.

It's one of Leonardo da Vinci's

most famous sketches.

And the star on his skin?

A pentacle.

And its meaning?

The pentacle is

a pagan religious icon.

Devil worship.

No. No, no, no.

The pentacle before that.

This is a symbol for Venus.

It represents the female half

of all things...

You are telling me that

Saunire's last act on earth...

...was to draw a goddess symbol

on his chest? Why?

Captain Fache,

obviously I can't tell you why.

I can tell you he, as well as anyone,

knows the meaning of this symbol...

...and it has nothing to do

with worshiping the devil.

- Is that so?

- Yes.

Then...

...what do you make of this?

"O, Draconian devil.

Oh, lame saint."

It's a phrase.

Doesn't mean anything, not to me.

What would you do if you had such

limited time to send a message?

Well, I suppose

I'd try to identify my killer.

Precisely.

Precisely.

So, professor...

Officer Neveu.

Please, pardon the interruption.

This is not the time.

I received the crime-scene jpegs
