chance to pray inside the Saint-Sulpice. A pity you couldn't wait for morning. The light is not ideal. Tell me, Sister, please, of the Rose Line. A rose line is any line that goes from the North to South Poles. Set into the streets of Paris, 135 brass markers... ...mark the world's first prime meridian... ...which passed through this very church. It hides beneath the Rose. I'm sorry? Sister. I do not want to keep you. I will show myself out. I insist. May the peace of the Lord be with you. And with you. They found Neveu's car abandoned at the train station. And two tickets to Brussels paid for with Langdon's credit card. A decoy, I'm sure. All the same, send an officer to the station. Question all the taxi drivers. I'll put this on the wire. Interpol? We're not sure he's guilty. I know he's guilty. Beyond a doubt. Robert Langdon is guilty. This is the Bois de Boulogne? We should be safe in this park for a few minutes. Stay here. Police. What do you want? Fifty euros for all your stuff. Go and get something to eat. Did it occur to you that could be dangerous? No. And now we have a place to think. Any ideas, professor? You could've just handed me a piece of a UFO from Area 51. "What's the next step?" With him, it's always: "Sophie, what's the next step?" Puzzles. Codes. A treasure hunt. To find his killer. Maybe there is something about this Priory of Sion. I hope not. Any Priory story ends in bloodshed. They were butchered by the Church. It all started over a thousand years ago when a French king... ... conquered the holy city of Jerusalem. This crusade, one of the most massive and sweeping in history... ...was actually orchestrated by a secret brotherhood... ...the Priory of Sion... ...and their military arm, the Knights Templar. But the Templars were created to protect the Holy Land. That was a cover to hide their true goal, according to this myth. Supposedly the invasion was to find an artefact... ... lost since the time of Christ. An artefact, it was said, the Church would kill to possess. Did they find it, this buried treasure? Put it this way: One day the Templars simply stopped searching. They quit the Holy Land and travelled directly to Rome. Whether they blackmailed the papacy... ... or the Church bought their silence, no one knows. But it is a fact the papacy declared these Priory knights... ... these Knights Templar, of limitless power. By the 1300s, the Templars had grown too powerful. Too threatening. So the Vatican issued secret orders... ... to be opened simultaneously all across Europe. The Pope had declared the Knights Templar Satan worshipers... ...and said God had charged him with cleansing the earth of these heretics. The plan went off like clockwork. The Templars were all but exterminated. The date was October 13th, 1307. A Friday. Friday the 13th. The Pope sent troops to claim the Priory's treasure... ... but they found nothing. The few surviving Knights of the Priory had vanished... ... and the search for their sacred artefact began again. What artefact? I've never heard about any of this. Yes, you have. Almost everyone on earth has. You just know it as the Holy Grail. Please, Sauniиre thought he knew the location of the Holy Grail? Maybe more than that. This cross and the flower, this could be very old. But look. This metal here underneath is much newer, and there's a modern ID stamp. "Haxo 24." And these dots. These dots are read by a laser. This is more than a pendant. This is a key your grandfather left you. He left us, professor. And vingt-quatre Haxo, it's not an ID ------------------------------ Читайте также: - текст До мозга костей на английском - текст Леди Джейн на английском - текст Жизнь как чудо на английском - текст Остаться в живых (Затерянные) - Сезон 2 на английском - текст Арахнофобия на английском |
