The Order Page #5

Synopsis: Alex Bernier (Ledger) is a member of an arcane order of priests known as Carolingians. When the head of the order dies, Alex is sent to Rome to investigate mysterious circumstances surrounding the death. The body bears strange marks on the chest which may or may not be the sign of a Sin Eater (Furmann), a renegade who offers absolution, last rites and therefore a path to heaven outside the jurisdiction of the church. Alex enlists the aid of his old comrade Father Thomas (Addy) and of a troubled artist (Sossamon) upon whom he once performed an exorcism. He soon finds himself plunged into a mystery only to find himself at the heart of it.

Really good too.

I don't know, there's something

about her that-

She sees things differently.

She feels things differently.

I wish I never saw her face.

Alex, you're a fool.

Same as you were once.

Alex,your head rules your heart.

- Oh, and what rules yours?

- Laughter, of course.

Hey, hey, you laugh

to keep from going mad.

- You laugh to keep the wolves at bay.

- It's still laughter.

- As for you, SpaghettiO, choose life.

- Right.

Let your heart wear the crown,

not your head.

Here we are.

Time to see Chirac.

Who is he anyways?

A rising darkness.

A rising darkness?

We're looking for Rosalinda.

Sure. She's over there.

Girl with the faraway eyes.

We need you to take us to Chirac.

Don't start your posturing,

you pagan worshipping pig.

You owe me a debt.

My friend and I

are looking for the other.

Just what does he mean

by the dying?

-

-

Ask him.

Oh, sh*t. Uh-

Where- Where can I find the sin eater?

The other will find you.

Upon the stone where all is built-

he brings you claves...

regni caelorum.

Claves regni caelorum?

The keys to the kingdom of heaven.

Upon the stone

where all is built.

Upon the stone

where all is built.

Ah, I hate riddles.

Petrus, stone. Petram.

Peter is the stone upon which all,

right, the church is built.

St. Peter's.

Well, the other will find me then.

St. Peter's. Doesn't anyone

just meet for coffee anymore?

- And he will bring you claves regni-

Alex!

Come on.

Let's get out of here.

Thomas.

Thomas.

No point in hangin' around.

Thomas!

Tommy, love.

How long have you

been a priest, Thomas?

Certain pleasures

are forever out of reach.

- Denied.

- Thomas!

Leave it for a sunny day.

Come on.

All mouth and no trousers.

Remember that girl

in Dublin? Megan was her name.

Did you feel foolish, Tommy?

In love with a whore.

Thomas?

It's personal. Ignore it.

The first and only lesson, remember?

Tommy love. Oh, Tommy.

I love you, Tommy.

- Come on, mate.

- Never give them an inch.

- Tommy.

- Not one f***in' inch!

Thomas? Thomas! Thomas!

In the name of God

and Jesus Christ...

to hell with you!

I love you, Tommy.

I'll pray for you, Tommy.

- Thomas!

Sh*t!

I said there was no point

in hanging around.

You never laugh, Alex.

It's not good for the soul.

I thought you might

be the nurse.

- Thomas, what happened? Where's Alex?

- He's off in search of coffee.

As for me, I was hoisted up

by me own petard.

Mara, if I can ask...

what happened

between you and Alex?

It's okay.

If I was embarrassed,

I'd wear bracelets.

My little brother was murdered,

and they brought Alex in to consult.

The Filmore murders.

Dominic sent Alex.

That was his first time on his own.
