Jacques de Molay, Grand Master of the Knights Templar.

You have been found guilty of heresy and conspiring against the Holy Church and

the Crown.

You are hereby under arrest.

Your sword, Monseigneur de Molay.

With this blade, I have defended the weak and the humble and fought a hundred

battles in the name of the Lord.

I will never surrender it.

Arrest him!

The king is approaching the gate. He has a declaration from his holiness, Pope

Clemens, that the order of the Templar must be dissolved.

How many men are with him?

An army.

Are you certain?

Yes, my liege.

The order of the Templars will rise again.

I'm entrusting you with our most sacred documents.

Make certain that which I have given you never falls into the wrong hands.

The king must never wield the sword.

Only a true knight can possess it.

Where will I take it?

La place sacrée.

Now go, quickly, the balcony.

I will face the king.

Claudia, call the airlines. Book two tickets for Paris.

Paris?

Paris, Nigel.

She said Paris.

She said Paris.

I love Paris.

Okay. No, you don't understand. I, like, really, really love Paris. I love

everything about it. The clothes, the fashion, the clothes.

I have to go, Nigel.

You're not going.

Call in sick.

I'm not calling in sick. Fine. Then I'll tell her about the embezzlement.

What are you talking about?

September 15th, 1100 hours. You stole $50 from petty cash.

I borrowed $50. I didn't have any lunch money and there was only a $50 bill.

And you never put it back.

That was last week.

Nigel, in this country we take our crime very seriously.

What you did was a Class B felony punishable by up to a year in state

Look it up if you don't believe me.

Strike one, pal. You're certifiable.

I want to go to Paris. You're not going to Paris.

What do you know about the Knights Templar?

Um, the Crusades.

They protected the pilgrims in the Holy Land. That's right.

Nigel, I could be on the track to the sword of the last Grand Master himself,

Jacques de Molay.

I got a call from Henri Jaber, curator of the French Institute of Antiquities.

Apparently, a 14th century medallion with the Knights Templar symbol on its

was uncovered in a monastery outside Paris.

Are you all right?

Yes, of course.

So they want you to authenticate it?

Yes, the medallion could lead us to the sword.

I just have one question.

Shoot.

In this country, don't you find it refreshing how justice usually wins out

the little guy?

Actually, I found quite the opposite to be true.

It's the big guys that get off and the little guys that get punished. It's not

right, really.

No.

Here's the deal, honey bun.

I don't say a word to the district attorney. You just head to the store du

when I call.

This is a blackmail, Claudia.

This is the land of opportunity, Nigel.

Sydney Fox?

Yes. Peter Graham, assistant to the curator.

I'm glad to meet you. My colleague, Nigel Bailey.

Sidney!

Oh, my God, look at you.

Sorry.

Who are you?

Nigel Bailey.

Lover?

Assistant. Assistant lover.

Assistant assistant.

It's not as if it would be precedent -setting, Sidney.

Take a look at this, Sydney.

It's amazing.

I knew you would be fascinated.

Where did you find it?

A monk brought it to me.

They uncovered it while repairing the masonry behind the altar of their

monastery's chapel.

It could have been covered up in a wall for over 700 years.

700 years.

Folklore holds that Jacques de Molay gave the Order's sacred documents and

legendary sword to a young aide and sent them into hiding.

In a monastery?

No one knows. We've turned the place upside down. No sign of the sword or

documents. The sword supposedly made Jacques de Molay invincible during

Yes. And if it did exist, it must be found.

You may be holding the key to the Grand Master's sword, Sidney.

Here's my cell number. You can call me 24 hours a day.

About what Dr.

Jaber said.

About the medallion? About the assistant lover business.

What did he mean by it not being precedent -setting? Do you think this is

appropriate now, Nigel? You don't want to talk about it? No.

I completely understand.

Have you had many assistants?

When I say had, I mean it only in the employed sense of the word. I just meant

to inquire as to the... What do you say we get our little English mind out of

the gutter and back to the business at hand?

Sorry, Sid.

Forget about it.

I think I know where to begin our search. It's a bar called L

Right.

It was the guy before me, wasn't it?

God, who are these people?

Relic hunters.

Or wannabes.

They'd rob their own grandmother's grave for a fistful of coins.

Wait here.

You drooled on me, Rene.

Oh, sorry.

I didn't know you were in town.

What brings you here?

The food.

I wasn't staring

at you. I was just admiring your necklace.

I've got to make this quick. If I needed an expert on the Knight Templar, who

would I speak to?

So the rumors are true?

They found Jacques de Morlaix's medallion?

Have you seen it?

You have?

Is there such a person?

Michel Prevost.

Was he a scholar?

Maybe you... You should just meet him.

Hmm?

It's the right address.

Say William, log in.

Hey, we're doing everything we can.

That's right.

Amazon chicks does not go with dead man's planet.

Order out of chaos, huh?

We're looking for Michel Prevent.

Yeah.

You're Michel Prevent? And you are?

Sidney Fox.

You come to look at my comic, Sidney Fox?

No, what I'm interested in was lost over 700 years ago.

All right.

What would that be?

A sword.

Every year, two or three times, somebody comes here to tell me that they have

found the sword of Jacques de Molay.

Whether fake or a hoax, they are always fortune hunters out to enrich

themselves.

Since you seem to be the expert here, maybe you could tell me about this.

Where did you get this?

The monastery outside the city.

Do you mind?

These are his reference books.

Comic books are modern myth.

It's one of the few places that heroes still exist.

What about that medallion?

It's an old coin.

It's got some value, but no significance.

But the two men on horseback, it is the symbol of the Templars.

Yes. The tempers were the rock stars of their time.

So if someone decides to commemorate them in a coin, I'm afraid numismatists

over the world have pieces like this in their collections.

Well, that was a waste of time. Maybe not.

What are you talking about?

If the medallion was so common, why did he take a wax impression of it?

We just had an interesting meeting with a fellow named Michel Prévent.

Have you heard of him?

Can't say that I have.

He's supposed to be an expert on the Knights Templar.

I'll run the name by Dr. J. Baird.

Good. Great. Oh, Peter, I've got another call coming in.

I'll get back to you. Okay.

Yep, hello?

Jason, is Nigel with you?

Uh, yeah.

Can I talk to him?

For you.

Me? For you.

Hello? Okay.

Here's the deal.

There's this hot little mid -length number in this month's Mark Fashion,

43. It's by this new Parisian designer, Lelouch. You can get it either at the

boutique or at La Belle Magasin on the right bank.

In teal, size 2.

You can't be serious.

Dead serious, Nigel.

Do you have any idea how much something like that's going to cost?

Fine. Don't get it. In fact, I'm going to get you a new outfit.

It's this really great design, all wide, horizontal stripes in black and white.

Awesome designer.

What's the name again?

Oh, right, the Department of Corrections.

All right, all right, I'll figure something out.

What do you want?

Oh, usual Claudia nonsense.

Is everything okay?

Yes, fine, great, really good, great.

Cindy, it's cold, it's dark, we haven't eaten.

Not yet.

Wherever he's gone, he's probably gone for the night.

Time to go.

We're under the sun.

Some kind of abandoned service tunnel.

What was he doing down here?

Now what?

Padlock, so what?

Padlock on the inside of a room that's completely empty?

Why would anyone lock themselves inside of an empty room?

Unless you didn't want to be seen because the room wasn't really empty.

A hidden space of some kind.

Maybe.

If this room has a light, chances are the hidden one would have one as well.

Like on the same circuit.

Which means it might be on right now.

So if we turn off the light in this room...

Nigel. I'm quite capable of lifting you up, Sydney.

I'm sure you can, but I'll take you up on that next time.

Look, it's not often I get to contribute in a physical way.

Not like your other assistants.

Look at least allow me there

Ah! Ah!

Looks like the Templars aren't the only ones keeping secrets.

You don't suppose.

The rock star himself, Jacques de Molay?

Apparently our friend Michaud has more than just a passing interest in the

sword. So, why was he so blasé by the Medallion?

Sydney, take a look at these.

A line, a crescent moon and a cross.

And all three in the shape of crosses.

What do you think they are?

I have no idea.

Are you okay?

Why did you hit me?

He got away.

What are you doing here?

We know you're intrigued with the medallion and that it's real.

What we don't know is your interest in it.

So you broke in?

We're here with the French Institute of Antiquities.

What do you want from me?

We need your help, Michel.

We need to get to de Molay's sword before the wrong people do.

And how do I know you are the right people?

What did King Philippe have against the Templars?

He borrowed a lot of money from them. And rather than pay them back, he strung

out Pope Clement to sign in their death warrants.

But de Molay had his vengeance, didn't he?

Mm -hmm.

Before his execution, he put a curse on the king and on the pope.

Within one year, they're both dead.

They say the sword was the instrument of his power.

So they say.

Do you believe that?

I know it sounds crazy, but I do.

I don't know why.

I just always have.

Then help us find it, Michelle.

I need more time to study this medallion.

All right, while you're doing that, we'll go figure out who the competition

Not not him.

Who?

Look, Nigel, it's your pygmy friend.

Great necklace.

I wouldn't do that if I were you.

Sidney.

It's good to see you, Sidney.

I'll bet.

Last time we parted, you left me in a flea market with a dead Bedouin named

I cut his throat, stabbed him in the back.

Right.

That sort of business is behind me now, Sidney.

How is it?

I'm in Paris to find a husband.

Settle down.

I'm sure you'll find someone suitable for you in here.

The soul belongs to whoever finds it, Sydney.

Not exactly true, Rita. Whoever finds it has to hold on to it.

You're right about that.

Because if anyone finds it before me, they're as dead as face.

How is Dr. Chebert?

Still sleeping. I filled in Peter Graham, though.

Any luck?

Well, we'll do some cleaning. I found a few markings on the rim of the

medallion.

Early Arabic letters.

I think the letters translate loosely to read something like Pierre.

Chevalier. The stone knights.

Pierre Chevalier.

Pierre Chevalier.

What's this?

This is my Bible.

It was written 600 years ago by cloistered monks.

They were disciples of the Molay. Maybe the same order that possessed the

medallion.

La place sacrée, the sacred place.

This says that the order's most sacred possession and the sword were kept in a

secret hideaway outside Paris.

What was sacred about her?

Well, nobody knows.

Maybe a ritual retreat.

Well, it's never been found.

There is a painting in the Louvre called Pierre Chevalier.

You always get this kind of treatment in a museum?

You should see what they do for a Disney World.

This painting was a gift for King Philip on his birthday.

And guess who the patron was?

Jacques de Molay?

The two men were on good terms then.

The stone knight.

De Molay commissioned his own treasure map?

Maybe.

Claudia? Is Nigel with you? Yes, he's here. Can I talk to him?

What's going on with you two?

Nothing.

Yes, what do you want?

Where are you?

The Louvre.

Do they have the dress?

It's a museum, Claudia.

They sell dresses in museums?

Paris is so cool.

I am not dress shopping.

Claudia, this is ridiculous.

I just don't have the time.

I saw this really great movie last night, Cool Hand Luke.

You should rent it. It's all about prison.

They've got this tiny metal box that they throw people into, and in the day,

gets really, really hot.

Claudia, I can't. Nigel, what we have here is a failure to communicate.

I'll be in touch.

But...

Is

there something I should know?

No.

Definitely not.

Does this Abbey still exist?

Nothing. No, nothing.

I don't know. It was always a long shot.

Maybe the sword wasn't meant to be found.

I don't think you believe that's true, Michelle.

It's been your quest.

I don't know anymore.

I think it's only a matter of time before we find the sword.

Over here!

Look at this indentation.

It's the exact same shape as the stones. That's right.

Where did those stones come from, Michel?

They were found at the ruins of the old Knights Templet castle years ago.

It seems to be the same geological composition as the stones. Yeah, well,

of the stones fits in there... Then there should be two other indentations

somewhere else around here. Right.

We need those stones.

It's like someone's a step ahead of us.

They've taken everything.

My stones, my research.

Rita.

Where is she, Rene?

I don't know.

You're gonna know.

Talk about the... Bad timing, Claudia.

Sitting with you? She's kind of busy.

Right now.

Well, we're not exactly sure what the stones do yet, but we're headed out to

ruins of the Abbey near Rambouillet.

Thanks for keeping us posted, Sidney.

Now tell Dr. Gebert.

Well, I'd rather tell him myself, Peter.

He's resting, Sidney.

I'll pass on the information.

Okay.

Was that Sidney?

Yes. Yes, it was.

What did you say?

Unfortunately, it's not going well.

They seem to have hit a dead end.

The third one's here.

So,

we'll have to dismantle the stones with the indentations.

What are you doing?

I have an idea. Just humor me.

The line is a symbol for England.

Let's try this in the northernmost position.

The crescent is a symbol for Islam.

The eastern border.

The Holy Cross is a sign for the Templars.

This will stay right here.

Yes! That's it. It fits.

Same here.

Now what?

Now we're back to the rock.

Start walking in the direction of the arrow.

I'll point it up here.

We have to trust the tines, but...

Sankofagai. They buried their dead here.

A Templar memorial.

Incredible.

So nice.

Sydney? Sydney?

Take your hands off that sword.

You're even better than Dr. Jabez said, Sidney.

I can't believe how quickly you found it.

And I can't believe I was taken by a common beast.

Common?

I don't think so.

I'm going to have the Molay sword and the power that goes with it.

This shrine is a holy place.

You have desecrated the memory of the Knights Templar.

I never would have found it without the medallion.

So... I guess it belongs to Dr. Jaber now.

The sword is meant for a knight with a true heart.

This is where it should stay.

With you.

You think so?

You were chosen.

I don't know.

You were the only one that could withdraw the sword.

I'd say it was your destiny, Michelle.

Welcome back.

Did you get it? Oh, I got it, all right.

I'm going to make a few phone calls, then I've got to run through the

If Blaine calls, tell him I'll be back in a few minutes.

This is an address.

Very astute.

Where's my address?

Well, that's the thing. I was in the boutique about to max out my entire

and lay out a month's pay when it hit me.

What hit you?

Section 201 .5, paragraph A.

Huh? The penal code.

You must know it after how easily you quoted it to me.

Obviously, you didn't study it hard enough. Section 201 .5, paragraph A

that any unauthorized use of a designated handicapped parking space is

misdemeanor, punishable by three months in jail, a $500 fine, or both.

But you don't have any... Proof?

It's amazing what Jimmy from the video department will do for a case of beer.

Of course...

A misdemeanor is less than the felony you accuse me of, but considering I have

five separate incidents on tape.

Oh, I had to get you something.

Yeah, Amazon chicks, number 33.

I understand it's collectible.
