did a Harvard sculler outrow an Oxford man at Henley? Surely such a travesty has never occurred. Your heart is true. You may pass. Welcome to Chвteau Villette. The truck's signal is coming online. It's about time. Locked on and tracking, sir. Very good. Tell Collet not to move in until I get there. Attention! All of Collet's units to Chвteau Villette. The suspects Neveu and Langdon are lik ely at that location. Aringarosa. I still don't know why he put you into this... ...and I'm sorry. But... ...l'm also very glad. You are requested to make yourself at home. Robert! And you travel with a maiden, it seems. Sir Leigh Teabing, may I present Miss Sophie Neveu. Sophie, Sir Leigh Teabing. It's an honour to welcome you... ...even though it's late. Thank you for having us. I realize it's quite late. So late, mademoiselle, it's almost early. What a lovely smile you have. Earl Grey? Lemon. Correct. Chвteau Villette. Yes. A dramatic late-night arrival. What can an old cripple do for you, Robert? We wanna talk about the Priory of Sion. The keepers? The secret war? Sorry for all the mystery. Leigh, I'm into something here that I cannot understand. You? - Really? - Not without your help. Playing to my vanity, Robert. You should be ashamed. Not if it works. There are always four: The Grand Master and the three sйnйchaux... ...make up the primary guardians of the Grail. Thank you, Remy. That'll be all for now. The Priory's members span our very globe itself. Philippe de Chйrisey exposed that as a hoax in 1967. And that is what they want you to believe. The Priory is charged with a single task: To protect the greatest secret in modern history. The source of God's power on earth. No, that's a common misunderstanding. The Priory protects the source of the Church's power on earth: The Holy Grail. I don't understand. What power? Some magic dishes? Robert. Has he been telling you that the Holy Grail is a cup? The Good Book did not arrive by facsimile from heaven. The Bible as we know it was finally presided over by one man: The pagan emperor Constantine. I thought Constantine was a Christian. Oh, hardly, no. He was a lifelong pagan... ...who was baptized on his deathbed. Constantine was Rome's supreme holy man. From time immemorial... ... his people had worshiped a balance between nature's male deities... ...and the goddess, or sacred feminine. But a growing religious turmoil was gripping Rome. Three centuries earlier... ...a young Jew named Jesus had come along... ...preaching love and a single God. Centuries after his crucifixion... ... Christ's followers had grown exponentially... ... and had started a religious war against the pagans. Or did the pagans commence war against the Christians? Leigh, we can't be sure who began the atrocities in that period. We can at least agree that the conflict grew to such proportions... ...that it threatened to tear Rome in two. So Constantine may have been a lifelong pagan... ...but he was also a pragmatist. And in 325 anno Domini... ...he decided to unify Rome under a single religion, Christianity. Christianity was on the rise. He didn't want his empire torn apart. And to strengthen this new Christian tradition... ...Constantine held a famous ecumenical gathering... ...known as the Council of Nicaea. And at this council... ... the many sects of Christianity debated and voted on, well... ...everything, from the acceptance and rejection of specific gospels... ... to the date for Easter... ...to the administering of the sacraments, and of course... ...the immortality of Jesus. I don't follow. Well, ma chиre, until that moment in history... ...Jesus was viewed by many of his followers as a mighty prophet... ------------------------------ Читайте также: - текст Всё будет хорошо на английском - текст Вертихвостки на английском - текст Крулл на английском - текст Эрагон на английском - текст Петля Ориона на английском |
