MAN:
The Ring of the Fisherman,

which bears the official
papal seal,

must be destroyed immediately
following the pope's death.

The papal apartment
is then sealed

for nine days of mourning,

a period known as sede vacante:

The time of the empty throne.

[BELLS RINGING]

Over the last several days

Catholic leaders
from every corner of the world

have flocked to Rome,
shocked by the sudden death

of this progressive
and beloved pope.

Today, in St. Peter's Square,

the faithful pray
that there is among them

another leader
who can unite their Church,

which has been so riven
by change and dissent

in recent years.

As the body of the pontiff
passes by,

we see prayers are being
offered by the preferiti,

favorites among those
being considered

to succeed him
as the Vicar of Christ.

At the end of the mourning
period,

the College of Cardinals
will lock itself

behind the doors of the
Sistine Chapel for conclave,

the process by which they
will choose a new leader

for the world's
one billion Catholics

who now find their Church
at a crossroads,

its ancient traditions
threatened by a modern world.

VITTORIA:
Help!

[SCREAMING IN ITALIAN]

[PANTING]

A swim might help your jet lag.

I beg your pardon?

You got bags under your eyes.

It's 5 in the morning.

And you're from the Vatican.

Crossed keys
under the triregnum.

It's a papal symbol.

Claudio Vincenzi, Corpo della
Gendarmeria Vaticano.

Vatican police?

I was expecting another letter.

My request for access
to your archives.

Shouldn't you be in Rome?

A kind of busy time
for you guys, isn't it?

In fact, I was in New York,
detailed to the U.N.

I receive a phone call
in the middle of the night:

"Find Professor Robert Langdon.

A matter of great urgency."

They said to show you this.

VINCENZI: The Illuminati? They
disappeared hundreds of years ago.

LANGDON:
Did they? Look at that again.

It's an ambigram.

It's the same image
forward and backward.

Now, that's common for a symbol,

like a yin and yang
or a swastika,

but that's a word.

That Illuminati
ambigramatic symbol

has been considered a myth
for 400 years.

Supposedly, in the 16th century,

some artist created it
as a tribute

to Galileo's love of symmetry.

It was only gonna be revealed

when the Illuminati
had amassed enough power

to resurface and carry out
their final goal.

I wrote a book about it.

Which is why you're here.

The Art of the Illuminati
by Robert Langdon.

Part One.

Haven't been able
to finish Part Two

because I'm not allowed
access to your archives.

It's remarkable. Singular.

Someone is trying
to make you believe

the Illuminati themselves
have returned to Rome.

Right after the death of a pope.

Four cardinals were kidnapped
from their quarters

inside the Vatican

sometime between
3 and 5 a.m. this morning.

Shortly afterward,

that document was sent to the
Office of the Swiss Guard,

along with the threat

the cardinals will be
publicly executed

one per hour, beginning
at 8 p.m. tonight in Rome.

Conclave.

Was to begin today.

We've postponed its start
for a few hours,

a story of illness.

There are no suspicions yet.

What do you want from me?

These criminals
who sent this ambigram,

meant it as a taunt,
a provocation.

But Captain Olivetti think

if you can use it
to learn their identity,

perhaps we can stop
this abomination.

Why me?

Your expertise.

Your erudition.

Your recent involvement

with certain Church,
shall we say...

mysteries.

I wasn't under the impression

that episode had endeared
me to the Vatican.

Oh, it didn't.

But it did make you...

What's the word?
Forma... Formidabile.

Formidable.

A Vatican jet is standing by
20 minutes from here.

Will you come with me?

Professore Langdon,
you've spent your life

searching for symbols like the
one you now hold in your hand.

How much longer
are we going to pretend

you have not already
decided to come?

[HELICOPTER WHIRRING]

VINCENZI:
If the Illuminati have returned

and are in Rome,
we will hunt them down

and kill them.

The Illuminati
did not become violent

until the 17th century.

Their name means
"the enlightened ones."

They were physicists
and mathematicians, astronomers.

They were concerned with the
Church's inaccurate teaching,

and they were dedicated
to scientific truth.

But the Vatican
didn't like that.

So the Church began to...
How did you say it?

Oh, "hunt them down
and kill them."

Drove them underground.

Into a secret society.

[INAUDIBLE]

Professor Langdon.
Yes.

Welcome to Vatican City.

Ernesto Olivetti,

inspector general
of the Vatican police force.

My pleasure.
This way, please.

We'll meet in the headquarters
of the Swiss Guard.

I thought you were Swiss Guard.

No, la Gendarmeria.

We are responsible
for everything

inside the Vatican walls,

with the exception of
the security of His Holiness,

Yeah.
and the Apostolic Palace.

That is Swiss Guard.

The Roman carabinieri are here
as well in an advisory capacity.

So jurisdictionally, this is...

A goddamn nightmare.

[BELLS RINGING IN DISTANCE]

LANGDON: Oh, yes, Pope
Pius IX's great castration.

OLIVETTI:
I beg your pardon?

LANGDON: 1857, Pope
Pius IX felt the male form

would inspire lust.

So he took a hammer and chisel

and unmanned hundreds
of these statues.

The plaster fig leaves
were added later.

Are you anti-Catholic,
Professor Langdon?

No.
I'm anti-vandalism.

I urge you to guard
your tone here.

The Swiss Guard is a calling,
not a profession,

and it encourages
a certain zealotry.

Commander Richter,
the head of the Guard,

is a deeply spiritual man,

and he was close
to the late pope. Understood?

Look, I don't study symbols

because I consider them
unimportant.

Ceremony, traditions,
it's how we mark our lives.

I just...
I just hope I can help.

So do I.

You were my idea.

[INDISTINCT CHATTER]

Wait here. Please.

OLIVETTI:
Commander?

Commander Richter?

Professor Langdon is here.

Well, we have bigger problems
than that now.

RICHTER:
Dr. Vetra?

I'm Commander Richter,
comandante principale

of the Swiss Guard.
Thank you for coming.

Hello.

Professor Langdon.
Yes.

What a relief,
the symbologist is here.

This way, please, Miss Vetra.

The situation has changed.

We received another threat
from the kidnapper.

VITTORIA: The canister was stolen
from our lab around noon yesterday.

The intruder killed my research
partner, Silvano Bentivoglio,

and mutilated him
in order to bypass security.

We use retinal scanners.

They cut out his eye.

RICHTER: Is that your
stolen canister, Miss Vetra?

Where is that camera, Number 86?

OLIVETTI:
It's wireless.

It too was stolen. It could be
anywhere inside the Vatican.

That canister contains

an extremely combustible
substance called antimatter.

We need to locate it immediately
or evacuate Vatican City.

I'm quite familiar
with incendiaries, Miss Vetra.

I've never heard of antimatter
being used as such.

Well, it's never been generated

in significant quantities
before.

It's a way of studying
the origins of the universe,

to try to isolate what some
people call "the God particle."

But there are implications
for energy research...

"The God particle"?

What we call it isn't important.

It's what gives all matter mass.

The thing without which
we could not exist.

You're talking about
the moment of creation.

Yes. In a way, I am.

The antimatter
is suspended there

in an airtight
nanocomposite shell

with electromagnets in each end.

But if it were to fall
out of suspension

and come in contact with matter,

say, the bottom of the canister,

the two opposing forces

would annihilate one another
violently.

What might cause it
to fall out of suspension?

The battery going dead.

Which it will,
just before midnight.

What kind of annihilation?
How violent?

A cataclysmic event.

A blinding explosion equivalent
to about five kilotons.

Vatican City
will be consumed by light.

Those are the exact words
the kidnapper used.

MAN: We will destroy
your four pillars.

We will brand your preferiti,

and sacrifice them
on the altars of science,

then bring your church down
upon you.

Vatican City
will be consumed by light.

A shining star at the end
of the Path of Illumination.

It's the ancient
Illuminati threat.

Destruction of Vatican City
through light.

Four pillars, there's your
kidnapped cardinals.

You didn't tell me
they were the preferiti,

the favorites,
to be named the next pope.

Play it again.

MAN: We will destroy
your four pillars.

We will brand your preferiti...
Wait, stop it. Stop it.

"Brand" them.

That's another
Illuminati legend.

This one says that there are

a set of five brands,

each one an ambigram.

The first four are the
fundamental elements of science:

Earth, air, fire and water.

The fifth, it's a mystery.

Maybe it's this.

He said they'd be killed
publicly.

Yes.

Revenge for la purga.

"La purga"?

Oh, jeez, you guys don't even
read your own history, do you?

1668, the Church kidnapped

four Illuminati scientists

and branded each one
of them on the chest

with the symbol of the cross

to purge them of their sins,
and they executed them.

Threw their bodies into the
street as a warning to others

to stop questioning Church
rulings on scientific matters.

They radicalized them.

The purga created a darker,
more violent Illuminati,

one bent on retribution.

And look how they intend
to finally get it:

Using antimatter, technology,
to destroy the Church.

Science obliterates religion.

Is there any more?

MAN: ...and sacrifice them
on the altars of science,

then bring your church down
upon you.

Vatican City
will be consumed by light.

A shining star at the end
of the Path of Illumination.

"Path of Illumination."

I need access
to the Vatican archives.

[SCOFFS]

Professor, I don't think
this is the appropriate...

Your petition has been denied
seven times.

No, no. This has nothing
to do with my work.

The Path of Illumination
is a trail through Rome

that leads to the Church
of the Illumination,

the place where the Illuminati
would meet in secret.

If I can find the segno,
the sign

that marks the beginning
of that path,

the four churches along it

may be where he intends
to murder your cardinals.

One every hour
at 8, 9, 10 and 11.

Then the device explodes
at midnight.

If we can figure out
the first church

and get there before he does
maybe we can stop it.

But I can't find
the start of the path

until I get into the archives.

Even if I wanted to help you,

access to the archives
is only by written decree

by the curator and the
Board of Vatican Librarians.

Or by papal mandate.

Yes, but as you no doubt
have heard,

the Holy Father is dead.

What about il camerlengo?

The camerlengo
is just a priest here,

the former pope's chamberlain.

Doesn't the power
of the Holy See rest in him

during tempe sede vacante?

Fellas, you called me.

CAMERLENGO:
His Holiness once told me

a pope was a man torn between
the real world and the divine.

It seems the real world
is upon us tonight.

I'm familiar
with Illuminati lore

and the legend of the brandings.

La purga is a dark stain
on this Church's history.

I'm not surprised this ghost
has returned to haunt us.

Comandante,

have you begun the search
for this explosive device?

Of course,
but it could be anywhere.

My primary concern at the moment
is the safety of the cardinals.

The Sistine Chapel
is a fortress.

As long as the cardinals
are in conclave,

your security concerns
are at a minimum.

Devote as many of your
resources...

If you're about to suggest
a naked-eye search

of the entire Vatican City,

I will tell you we do not
have the people.

Though I am not His Holiness,
when you are addressing me,

you are addressing this office.
Do you understand?

Yes, Father.

CAMERLENGO:
Good.

Now, you said the image
on the screen

was illuminated
by artificial light.

Might I suggest
methodically cutting power

to various sections of the city.

When the image goes dark,
you'll have a specific idea

of the camera's location.

Dr. Vetra, besides yourself
and your research partner,

who else knew about this
antimatter project?

No one but the research team.

This project was strictly
confidential.

But Silvano kept detailed
journals.

If he told anyone else

about what we were doing,
he would have made a note of it.

Do you have these journals?

I can have them flown here
from Geneva in an hour.

Please.

Professor Langdon.

Mr. Langdon,

you are correct that I may grant
you access to the archives.

Thank you, Padre.

I said that you were correct
that I may, not that I will.

Christianity's most sacred
codices are in that archive.

Given your recent entanglement
with the Church,

there is a question
I'd like to ask you first,

here, in the office
of His Holiness.

Do you believe in God, sir?

Father, I simply believe
that religion...

I did not ask if you believe
what man says about God.

I asked if you believe in God.

I'm an academic.

My mind tells me I will never

understand God.

And your heart?

Tells me I'm not meant to.

Faith is a gift

that I have yet to receive.

Be delicate with our treasures.

[MAN SPEAKING IN ITALIAN]

The archives are this way.

VITTORIA:
Professor Langdon.

If this path really leads
to the Church of Illumination,

that may be where they've hidden
the antimatter.

"A shining star at the end
of the path." I thought so too.

Follow the path, and we may find
the canister at the end of it.

Can you deactivate the device?
I can change the batteries,

as long as we have
more than five minutes of life.

That would give us
another 24 hours

to get it safely back to CERN.

Robert Langdon.

Vittoria Vetra.

Are you really a symbologist,
or was he mocking you?

Well, both.
You're a physicist?

Bio-entanglement physics.

Interconnectivity
of life systems.

Okay.

Your project, it was geared
towards energy research?

Eventually, yes.

One speck of antimatter

could power an entire city
for a month.

Or tonight,
I guess, destroy one.

VITTORIA: What are we
looking for in the archives?

A bound volume
written by Galileo.

Galileo was Illuminati?

Yeah.
And an obedient Catholic,

who didn't think that Church
and science were enemies,

but just a different language
telling the same story.

He wanted like minds to find
the Church of Illumination,

but he couldn't exactly
advertise its location

so he created a coded path.

[ELECTRICITY CRACKLES]

Richter has started to turn off
the power of various grids.

It'll be back on in a minute.

Then some unknown Illuminati
master sculpted four statues.

Each one a tribute to one
of the fundamental elements,

earth, air, fire, water,

and placed the statues
out in public

in churches throughout Rome.

Each statue held a clue
pointing to the next.

At the end of the path
was the Church of Illumination.

If you could find that,
you were one of them.

What makes you think
he'll murder

the cardinals in the churches?

The Illuminati called
those four churches

by the special name,
L'Altare della scienza.

"Sacrifice them on the altars
of science," he said.

Exactly.

Oh, wow. Look at this.

CAMERLENGO:
Excuse me, signore.

Cardinal Strauss, you've been
informed of the situation?

Yeah.

My belief is we should proceed
with the sealing of conclave.

At this late hour?
That would be highly unorthodox.

And yet within Church law.

It's in my power.
I am Great Elector.

The cruelest honor
in Christendom.

I have no personal ambitions,
Patrick.

Only those I hold for my Church,

St. Peter's Church,

which is under attack
at its most vulnerable moment.

And this is not a coincidence.

The Church will not
fall in a day.

We must evacuate Vatican City.

Oh, that is exactly
what they want.

Publicity and panic.

No, we must not give them oxygen
for the media fire.

But the people
in St. Peter's Square...

Care deeply about
their Church, as we do.

Their faith will sustain them.

Their faith will not
protect them from an explosion.

Well...

We all are bound
for heaven eventually,

are we not?

Spoken like one who has enjoyed
the blessings

of a long and full life.

Patrick,

do not confuse the power

of the office
you temporarily hold

with your true place
here in the Vatican.

You were a favorite
of His Holiness,

but His Holiness
is with his father now.

Mea culpa.

Seal the doors.

PATRICK:
Extra Omnes.

Hello. This way, please.

Oh, beautiful.

GUARD: The chambers
are hermetic vaults.

Oxygen is kept
at lowest possible levels.

It's a partial vacuum inside.

So extended stays
are not recommended.

LANGDON: So don't panic if
you feel light-headed at first.

I'll be just outside the door.

Watching you, Mr. Langdon.

Conclave will go on without us.

It must, now of all times.

May God forgive you
for what you've done.

Father, if God has issues,

they won't be
with what I've done.

They will be
with what I'm about to do.

LANGDON: It was confiscated
from the Netherlands

by the Vatican
just after Galileo died.

I've been petitioning to see it
for about 10 years,

ever since I realized wh...
What was in it.

What makes you so sure
that the segno's there?

The number 503.

I kept seeing it over and over
again in Illuminati letters,

scribbled in the margins,
sometimes just signed "503."

It's a numeric clue.
But to what?

Five? Well, that's a meaningful
number to the Illuminati.

There's the pentagram,
Pythagoras,

dozens of other examples
in science.

But what about three?

Didn't make sense
until I thought,

"What if it's Roman numerals?"

DIII.
D-three.

Galileo's third text.

"Dialogo. Discorso. Diagramma."

Oh.

Yeah.

Just a few days with this,

and I could have
actually finished my book

and sold dozens of copies
at the Harvard bookstore.

"Il Diagramma Veritatis."

Diagram of Truth.

I know about
Dialogo and Discorsi.

Galileo laid out his theories

about the Earth revolving
around the sun.

Yeah, and said the Earth was not
the center of some universe

with heaven above, hell below,

as the Church had said it was.

So they forced him to
recant in the second book.

But what was this one?

This is how he got the word out.

This is the truth, not what the
Vatican forced him to write.

Smuggled out of Rome, printed
in Holland on sedge papyrus.

That way any scientist caught
that was with a copy

could just throw it in water,

and Galileo's heresy
would dissolve, disappear.

And between that
and Vatican burnings,

it's possible that this
is the only copy that remains.

And if I'm correct,

the Segno is hidden
on page number...

Five.

Yeah.

Do you need help with the Latin?

Sure.

Movement of the planets,
elliptical orbits,

heliocentricity.

Sorry, I don't think
there's anything

that could be
interpreted as a...

Wait, wait, wait.

Do that again.

What is that?

Wait a minute, it's a watermark.
And there's a line of text.

Go back.

It's in English.

English?
Why English?

English wasn't used in the
Vatican. It was too polluted.

It was free-thinking.
It was a language of radicals

like Shakespeare and Chaucer.

Here's another one.

"The path of light
is laid, the sacred test..."

Will you write
this down as I dictate?

Sorry, professor, no time.

Yeah, yeah,
what the hell. Yeah.

[CAR ENGINE STARTING]

[TIRES SCREECHING]

MAN:
Twenty minutes till 8.

Where are we headed?
Hold on, hold on.

I'll tell you in a minute.
Let me see that page again.

Where did you get that paper?

We borrowed it.

"From Santi's earthly tomb
with demon's hole."

Are you insane?

"'Cross Rome the
mystic elements unfold.

"The path of light is
laid, the sacred test.

Let angels guide thee
on thy lofty quest."

You removed a document
from the Vatican Archives?

She did.

"From Santi's
earthly tomb."

The first marker
is at Santi's tomb.

Yeah.

But... But who's Santi?
Raphael.

Il Raffaello, the sculptor?
Yeah, Santi was his last name.

So the path starts
at Raphael's tomb.

Raphael's buried
at the Pantheon.

Isn't the Pantheon a church?

Oldest Catholic church in Rome.

[HORN HONKING]

[TIRES SQUEALING]

I just pulled a dozen
of our best men for this.

You better be right.

This is one of the busiest spots
in all of Rome.

He'd never get away with it.
It's impossible.

The poem implies...
"The poem"? Unbelievable.

I'm basing this operation on
an American's interpretation

of a 400-year-old poem.

The information we have clearly
refers to Raphael's tomb.

And Raphael's tomb
is inside that building.

Because the Vatican destroyed
all of the pagan statues

in the late-1800s,
if this is the first marker,

whatever clues were here
to lead us are gone now.

The path is dead. So this
is it, your only chance.

Separate approaches.

RICHTER: No closer than two
blocks and no uniforms. Three minutes.

And I need a set of eyes inside.

Excuse me?

Two weightlifters in matching
black suits and earpieces?

They're hardly disguised.

Well, it's what I have.
Well, fine, I'll go in.

You don't have communication.
You can't carry a walkie-talkie.

Tourists have cell phones.
No, no.

You can't send her
in there alone.

All right, I won't.

Don't look so anxious.
We're supposed to be married.

Well, maybe we're not
getting along today.

Hold my hand.

But don't crush it.

Sorry.
A nervous newlywed.

LANGDON: Oh, look.
Look, honey, the oculus.

That could be the
"demon's hole" in the poem.

VITTORIA: Why are
the tombs at an angle?

LANGDON: They're facing
east to worship the rising sun.

But this is a Christian church.

New religions often adopt the
existing customs and holidays

to make conversion
less of a shock.

Like the 25th of December?

It's the pagan celebration
of the Unconquered Sun,

and also makes a handy
date for the birth of Christ.

Let's check the recesses.
Okay.

I'll go to the right.
I'll meet you at 180 degrees.

WOMAN:
Follow me, please.

Now, the Pantheon, which means
"Temple of All Gods",

was originally built as a temple

to all the gods of ancient Rome

in 27 B.C.

Although the design
of the building

is usually credited
to Apollodorus of Damascus...

VITTORIA:
Robert!

Robert.

It's Raphael's tomb.

But it's the wrong one.

What are you talking about?
He was moved here in 1759,

a century after
Diagramma was published.

Where was he originally buried?

Uh... Uh...

Urbino, I think.
"Santi's earthly tomb."

What could it possibly be?
"Santi's earthly tomb."

Damn it. Santi's tomb.

It must mean
a chapel that he built.

He's not buried in it,
he designed it.

The "demon's hole,"
it's not that oculus.

It's an undercroft.
It's a crypt.

WOMAN: Are there any questions?
LANGDON: Yes. Yes.

Did Raphael Santi
ever design a chapel

with an ossuary annex
and an angel figure

commissioned by
the Catholic Church?

I'm sorry,
I-I can only think of one.

One is good.

Wrong? What do you mean?
It's the Chigi Chapel

in the church of the
Santa Maria del Popolo.

It was once called
the Capella della Terra,

the Chapel of the Earth.

Earth, the first element.
That's it.

You were certain
about the Pantheon.

We have four minutes.

[SPEAKING IN FOREIGN LANGUAGE]

Back to the Vatican?
You can't.

If you care at all about your
church, you'll listen to me.

My church?

My church comforts
the sick and dying.

My church feeds the hungry.

What does your church do,
Mr. Langdon?

That's right,
you don't have one.

Take him if you want.
I'm done with him.

[♪♪♪♪♪]

All right, this makes sense.

Look,
right in front of the church.

An obelisk, a lofty pyramid.

Egyptian symbol
adopted by the Illuminati.

If he's going to kill him,
he'll do it here.

[CHURCH BELLS TOLLING]

Eight o'clock.

VITTORIA:
Robert.

[SPEAKING IN ITALIAN]

No, no, here.
It's an annulus.

[FIREWORKS]

[KIDS YELLING IN ITALIAN]

Which one is the Chigi Chapel?

It's in one of these apses.

[BANGING]

[BIRD FLUTTERING]

[MAN SPEAKING IN ITALIAN
OVER WALKIE-TALKIE]

Pyramids in a Catholic church.

This is it.
This is the Chigi Chapel.

[RATTLING]

[DISTANT BANG]

The demon's hole.

But it's askew.

Come here.

Hand me your flashlight.

What's that?

MAN [IN FOREIGN LANGUAGE]:
I call as my witness Christ the Lord,

who will be my judge,
that my vote is given

to the one before God
I think should be elected.

I elect as the most high
pontiff, Dominic Scolamiero.

I elect as the most
high pontiff,

Edoardo Rossi.

[IN ENGLISH] They are voting for
themselves to prevent a majority.

They are waiting for the
preferiti to be rescued.

Perhaps we should as well, yes?

[CROWD CRIES OUT]

WOMAN:
Not until the smoke is white

will the College of Cardinals
have chosen a new Holy Father.

For now, the Vatican seat of
ultimate power remains vacant.

Get the body out of there, and
search the rest of the building.

Chartrand!
Sir?

Outside, a perimeter.
Secure but invisible.

No lights, no guns,
nobody knows.

Understand?
Yes, sir.

MAN:
I'm calling all off-duty.

No information.

Is it Raphael?

The chapel is Raphael.

But the sculptures are Bernini.

The unknown Illuminati master...

Bernini?

He worked for the Church.

Almost exclusively.

But the Illuminati
were infiltrators.

There wasn't
a powerful organization

on Earth they didn't penetrate,

including the Vatican
by hiding in plain sight.

LANGDON:
Habakkuk and the Angel.

He's the prophet that predicted
the annihilation of the Earth.

"Let angels guide thee
on thy lofty quest."

This is the first marker.

The path is alive.

LANGDON:
Southwest.

It was pointing southwest.

Earth, air, fire, water. We're
looking for a Bernini sculpture

having to do with air.

The second church is
somewhere southwest of here.

You're sure this time?

I need a map showing
all the churches of Rome.

I could use it now.

All right, the purple areas
with these black crosses

represent the churches.

But nothing intersects
the line until it hits...

Until it hits St. Peter's.

Michelangelo designed
St. Peter's. Not Bernini.

Michelangelo designed
the Basilica.

Bernini designed
St. Peter's Square.

The second marker must be
a statue in St. Peter's Square.

It's 10 minutes till 9.
Can you go any faster?

Not unless you want the full
attention of the world press.

WOMAN [IN ITALIAN]: There was
no consensus after the first ballot,

but Cardinal Baggia,
the Italian,

is the odds-on favorite...

[IN SPANISH] There is no
new Pope, but it is possible

that Cardinal Guidera,
the Spaniard,

is the most probable...

[IN GERMAN] It is possible that
Cardinal Ebner, from Germany,

is the favorite...

WOMAN [IN FOREIGN LANGUAGE]:
Stem cell research is murder!

You're condemning
sick people to die.

Man is not God.

There, another obelisk.

Check the crowd. It's almost 9.
He's gotta be here already.

There must be
100 statues up there.

LANGDON: None of them
are angels. Those are all saints.

How in God's name
would anyone create

a sculpture about air?

Bas-relief. Of course.
It's still a sculpture.

Check the ground.
Look at the carvings.

Look for another having
something to do with air.

LANGDON:
"West Ponente." West wind.

LANGDON:
Vittoria!

Here it is.

West wind. An angel
blowing out five streaks of air.

This is it.

[MEN SPEAKING IN ITALIAN]

MAN [IN ITALIAN]:
Clear the square.

[MEN SPEAKING IN ITALIAN]

PATRICK:
"...from within your walls

to squeeze life
from the Bishop."

He's actually claiming
responsibility

for the death of His Holiness.

That's ridiculous.
He died of a stroke.

It implies the
Illuminati murdered him

with his own medication.

What?

Down here.

"With man's solution
we stilled his heart.

With his own needle did
we pierce his unholy veil."

OLIVETTI: Did the Holy Father
take any kind of medication

by injection?

Tinzaparin.

He had thrombophlebitis.

He took an injection every day.
But no one knew that.

Someone knew.

Well, he had health
concerns and seizures as well.

But he took steps to make sure
he was watched, for safety.

He didn't want it made public so
we have no reason to discuss it.

Tinzaparin is lethal
in the wrong dosage.

An overdose could cause
massive internal bleeding

and brain hemorrhages.

It might look like
a stroke at first,

but in a few days his
body would show signs.

This could easily be examined.

Miss Vetra, in case you're
not aware of it,

papal autopsy is
prohibited by Vatican law.

We're not going to defile
His Holiness's body

just because his
enemies claim...

Why would they
send this letter now?

PATRICK:
Well, to cause panic.

"The sun will blind at midnight,

and neither police nor
professors can stop it."

He knows I'm here.

Obviously they were hoping
this letter would become public.

We might be wise
to pre-empt their next attempt

by making an announcement of our
own to refute this absurd claim.

That's out of the question.

Cardinal Strauss has insisted

this entire matter
be kept internal.

He shouldn't even be aware
of it. He's in conclave.

His final instructions

before sealing the doors
were very clear.

Cardinal Strauss does not
dictate Vatican protocols.

As you say, yet, technically,

now that conclave has begun,

it's his privilege and duty
to control public announcements.

I've drafted a release about
the incident in the piazza,

but any other statements
are specifically prohibited.

For that, Cardinal has asked me

to remind you we have a chimney.

Commander Richter,
the search for the device?

Well, we've turned
the power on and off

to about 20 percent
of Vatican City.

Nothing on the video yet.
We're running out of options.

How long would you
need to evacuate everyone?

If I pull all my men from the
search for the bomb, 30 minutes.

Mr. Langdon. You have been
right so far about the path.

It's now 9:15.

How quickly can you
find the next church?

The lines on the carving pointed
east, away from Vatican City.

But there were five of them,
so there's room for error.

About 20 churches
intersect those lines.

None of them have names
that invoke fire.

So a Bernini sculpture must be
inside one of them that does.

We'll need to get into
the archives to find it.

Would you escort Mr. Langdon?
Yes, Father.

[SPEAKING IN ITALIAN]

Silvano's journals.

The killer's name could
be in here. May I stay?

Please.
Fine, of course.

Professor.

Would it surprise you to
find those clothes suit you?

It would surprise
the hell out of me.

[IN ITALIAN] The Vatican
is expressing sympathy

for the mugging victim

a Dusseldorf tourist,
now confirmed dead...

[IN FOREIGN LANGUAGE] The
Vatican police have a suspect in custody...

[IN FRENCH]
The Vatican will allow the crowd

back into St. Peter's Square,

where security
will be doubled...

[IN ENGLISH] The Vatican did
admit that where there are crowds,

so often follows crime.

We're trying now to get the
name of the tourist who was...

Oh, wait.

We're getting word now of smoke.

Smoke from the
Sistine Chapel chimney.

Apparently there's
been another vote.

The smoke is black.

Once again, the cardinals have
failed to reach consensus,

and the Catholic Church
remains without a leader.

What are you looking for now?

Church assets.

I beg your pardon?

Artwork.
It's valuable.

Corporations tend to keep
track of their holdings.

The Catholic Church is not
a corporation, it's a beacon.

A source of inspiration

for one billion lost
and frightened souls.

Sure, I get that.
It's also a bank.

Commander Olivetti
said I was not to

leave your side this time.

It wasn't me, it was her.

[CROWD CHATTERING]

[IN GERMAN]
Power is now cut to Zone 73.

No light reaction
on the monitor.

Restore power and move on to 74.

What sort of signs?

I'm sorry?

If the Holy Father was given
an overdose of Tinzaparin,

what signs would his body bear?

Bleeding of the oral mucosa.

His tongue.

Post-mortem, the blood congeals

and turns the inside
of the mouth black.

Even after 14 days?

It wouldn't show up until
at least a week after his death.

He was very important to me.

Yeah, I understand.

Will you come with me, please?

Signore, would you
organize a security team

to escort Miss Vetra and myself
down to the crypt?

MAN: Yes, sir.
We'll be leaving straightaway.

[HEAVY BREATHING]

Do you smoke?

A little bit.

Then you better sit down
before you keel over.

LANGDON: And what's
all that right there?

What does this say
in Italian right here,

next to the Ecstasy of Saint
Teresa? Right there.

"Moved at suggestion
of the artist."

"Moved"? To another church.
At the suggestion of Bernini?

GUARD:
I don't know.

Here. Translate
all of this for me,

and I'll buy you
a pack of smokes.

I'm looking for
a reference to fire.

Fires.

"Seraphim," meaning
"the fiery one."

Right.

"His great, golden spear,

a point of fire."

Then "woman left
completely afire."

LANGDON: Ecstasy of Saint
Teresa. Saint Teresa on fire.

So this sculpture
was moved to this church?

[ALARM BEEPING]

LANGDON: Why did they
shut down the system?

They know we're down here.

GUARD: If there's no
power, there's no oxygen.

Can we get out?
The door is electronic.

MAN:
Oh, God.

Well, that's disappointing.

Where are we going?

To see my father.

I don't understand.

I was orphaned when
I was 9 years of age.

A bombing in Ulster.

The UVF protesting the visit
of a Catholic archbishop.

The archbishop felt responsible,

and he adopted me
the following day.

I was raised by him
and by the Church.

He was the wisest
man I ever met.

Even when I was
young and stubborn,

I wanted to be ordained.

But I was brought up in Italy,

so I also wanted to
do my military service.

I wanted to fight.

He told me,
"Learn to fly."

So I joined the
Aeronautica Militare,

flew helicopters, bringing
the wounded back to hospital.

He was a great man.

Your father died?

Fourteen days ago.

[IN GERMAN]
Command, do you read me?

Power is off.
Oxygen is very low.

Come in.
Can you read me?

Can you get anything?

No. The walls are lead-lined.
There's no signal.

Vatican security

No one from the outside could

It was someone on the inside.

And we can trust no one.

[IN GERMAN]
No light reaction on Zone 97.

Based on the rate the battery

Holy Father...

when I was young, you told me

the voice in my

You said I should follow it,
no matter how painful.

Forgive me.

Please.

Give me strength.

What I do,

I do in the name

Santa Maria della Vittoria.

Yes, I do.
It's the next church.

[SIREN WAILING]

I think someone
just tried to kill me.

I promise you we had no idea...
He knows I'm here.

Yes.
You heard me ask permission.

You gave me an escort.
Yes, but we had no idea

that portions of our white zones

were cross-wired
with that building.

Commander Richter
was extending the search.

If he had known the archives
were on that grid,

he never would have
killed the power.

Or there is the
other possibility.

Is it conceivable
the Illuminati...

have infiltrated
the Swiss Guard?

Perhaps.

The journals.
Where are they?

Who took the journals
from this desk?

[CLATTERING]

[DOOR CREAKING]

CARDINAL 1: Someone is here?
CARDINAL 2: What is this?

Signore, this is unacceptable.

For a camerlengo
to enter the chapel

once conclave has begun...

Forgive me.
There's been a development.

[TIRES SCREECHING]

[PEOPLE EXCLAIMING]

[IN ITALIAN] His Holiness
Celestine V was murdered.

Is it so hard to believe
it could happen again?

Signori, please a moment.

Please, signori.

Our Church is at war.

We are under attack
from an old enemy.

The Illuminati.

They have struck us from within.

Murdering our Holy Father.

And threatening us
all with destruction

at the hands
of their new god, science.

They call it retribution.
They think it justified.

Because of the Church's attacks
on men of science in the past.

And it's true.

Since the days of Galileo

this Church has tried
to slow the relentless

march of progress,

sometimes with misguided means.

But science and religion
are not enemies.

There are simply some things

that science is just too young
to understand.

So the Church pleads, "Stop.

Slow down. Think. Wait."

And for this they
call us backward.

But who is more ignorant,

the man who cannot
define lightning,

or the man who does not respect

its natural awesome power?

The battle is well underway,
signori.

We must defend ourselves.

But what if this time we fight
their stealth with openness?

Combat their wicked scheme
with simple truth,

and end this brutish
battle once and for all.

If the outside world could
see this Church as I do,

looking beyond the ritual
of these walls,

they would see a modern miracle.

A brotherhood of imperfect,
simple souls,

who want nothing more than
to be voices of compassion

in a world spinning
out of control.

Signori, I ask...

I pray...

that you break this conclave.

Open the doors,

evacuate St. Peter's Square,

and tell the world the truth.

[IN ITALIAN]
Oh, my God.

I am an Italian citizen.
My rights do not end

crossed to the other...

This is not Italy.

It's not even Rome,
it's the Vatican.

A country of its own
with its own laws.

And when those journals
passed the border,

they became my property.

I will give them back to you

contain nothing of value

to the investigation.

Do you have something
to hide, Comandante Richter?

[LAUGHING]

Do you, Dr. Vetra?

to escort you to the Vatican.

Piazza Navona.

Earth. Air. Fire. Water.

Cross Rome.

Bernini's Four Rivers.

Professor Langdon,
the Vatican insists

that I have to take you back.

The Vatican is about to see

its fourth cardinal
murdered tonight.

Now, look.
You can do as they say

and force me
back to the Vatican,

where we can all mourn
his death together.

Or you can show
how real cops act,

and take me to the
Piazza Navona,

where we still might
be able to stop it.

Oh, by all means,
let's talk it over.

In 14 minutes,
he's gonna be dead.

This way, professor.

Yes, Padre?

At 11:15, if the Church
is still in peril,

give the order
to evacuate the cardinals.

But with dignity.

Let them walk out into
St. Peter's Square

with their heads held high.

I don't want the last image
of this Church to be

of frightened old men
sneaking out the back door.

"Let angels
guide thee..."

he was being held

If Langdon's right,
that's where the bomb is.

Send everyone we can spare.

And you?

I'm staying here.

He took Silvano's journals.

There must be something in

The head of the Swiss Guard.

Castel Sant'Angelo,
it's close enough,

so the wireless signal
from that camera

could still reach the Vatican.

The Church of Illumination
is somewhere here.

Your canister is inside it.

Come with me.

For 400 years,
the Illuminati met

right under the Church's nose.

The Vatican used
this as a hideout

and as a prison
for their enemies.

If the explosion happens here,

would the blast radius
take out the Vatican?

And part of Rome along with it.

[SPEAKS IN ITALIAN]

Go on.

They're pointing to it.
The angels.

The canister must be
down there. Come on.

[MEN YELLING IN ITALIAN]

Where are they going?
To search the outer castle.

No, no. It has to be here!

Robert, it's a dead end.

No, it's not.

See if you can

All of these stones
are rectangular granite.

Except right here.
What is this?

It's a pentagram.

An eye...

that leads to...

LANGDON:
Nowhere.

Robert?

These walls overlap and there's
a passageway back here.

Here, let me

to blow the whole building up.

Get on the radio.
Get the word out.

I'm countermanding it.

LANGDON: This is

The canister should be

It's not here, Robert.

"A shining star at the end

What did the poem say?
Nothing.

Nothing, it's all over.

It was just the four lines,

There's a fifth brand.

It's not an ambigram,
it's just two crossed keys.

The symbol for the Vatican.
No.

No, the papacy.

They intend to kill him.

Before they destroy the Vatican,
they're gonna kill

and brand the pope himself.
There is no pope.

Tempe sede vacante.

Il camerlengo.

We have to warn him.
Take a step back, please.

Take your cell phone
from your pocket.

Throw it in the fire.

Murderer.

You know, when they call me...

and they all call me...

it is so important
to them that I know

that what they ask
is the Lord's will.

Or Allah's, or Yahweh's.

And I suppose they're right.

Because if he was not vengeful,
I would not exist, now would I?

I've had several chances
to eliminate you tonight.

You're still alive
because you have no weapon,

and they didn't
ask me to kill you,

but if you pursue me,

it is another matter.

Cold decreases battery life.

Innocent, maybe.

But that's not a crime.

I'm not so sure.

Go back to work.

Change the world.

[CROWD SINGING
IN FOREIGN LANGUAGE]

[CHATTER]

MAN: A gift. Do you
understand what I'm saying?

For Catholics, for everyone.

Camerlengo's age
shouldn't be an obstacle.

Signori, you are no doubt aware

that by holy law
the man is ineligible

for election to the papacy.

He is not a cardinal,
he is a priest.

He is of insufficient age.

Well, maybe there's a way

we could consider
the possibilities.

I am sorry.
The protocols of conclave

are not subject to modification.

I will not call
a ballot on this matter.

But, signore, you would
not call the ballot.

Surely you remember.

You gave up your
post as Great Elector.

CARDINAL: They are
singing in St. Peter's Square.

And what happened here
tonight transcends our laws.

Does it?

Is it God's will that we give
ourselves over to frenzy?

Discard the rules of the Church?

Perhaps we need
not discard them.

Signore, I am thinking now
of Romano Pontifici Eligendo,

Numero Sessanta...

Acclamation by Adoration.

[SPEAKING IN ITALIAN]

If the Holy Spirit
speaks through us,

and we call
a man's name out loud...

That is election by adoration.

He's God's choice.
Yes.

And the candidate need only be

an ordained member of the clergy

present in the Sistine Chapel

at the moment of his election.

I think we have it settled.

Signore Camerlengo.

Yes?

The cardinals ask
you to join them

in conclave as soon as possible.

Me?

Yes, Padre.

What are you doing?

Silvano's journals.
I want them back.

Richter said...

His Holiness suffered
from seizures,

but steps were taken...

for safety.

"Made sure he was watched,"
he said.

What if he was trying
to give me this key?

That's the papal office.

If the pope was worried
about seizures,

he must have had
Richter install cameras

without telling anyone.

To keep an eye on him.
For safety.

Maybe it records.

RICHTER: I read
the journals, Patrick.

PATRICK: The scientist
kept journals. So?

Well, you figure
prominently in them.

Really?

Bentivoglio wasn't
just a physicist,

he was also a Catholic priest.

And as such,
he was deeply conflicted

about the implications
of his work

and in need
of spiritual guidance.

Like Galileo.

About a month ago, he requested
an audience with the Pope,

but you know that.

Because you granted
the audience,

and you were also
present during it.

The God particle. To actually
claim an act of creation.

The blasphemy.
The arrogance.

The Holy Father didn't
see it like that.

He urged him to go public.

His Holiness thought
that the discovery

could actually
scientifically prove

the existence of a divine power,

and begin to bridge the gap
between science and religion.

His work was not religious,
it was sacrilegious.

But you...

You saw the Pope's position
as a softening of Church law.

As an old man's weakness.

Your father's weakness.

You murdered
the Vicar of Christ.

He raised me to protect
this Church, even from within.

And then... Then you conjured up
an old enemy from the past.

The Illuminati.

You found the ancient brands
in the papal vaults,

and put them to use.

To spread fear.

The cardinals are men of belief.

Right now, their belief
in evil is uniting them.

The entire Catholic world
will be united by this attack.

There is no attack.

You're trying to convince
the cardinals they're in a war

so they will choose
a warrior to lead them.

We are at war.

We're weak when
we should be strong.

If science is allowed to claim
the power of creation,

what is left for God?

It didn't work, Patrick.

It isn't finished.
Oh, yes, it's finished.

It's finished.

I've shown the journals
to Father Simeon.

The moment the doors
to the conclave open

he will tell the cardinals
what you've done.

I was planning on
doing this alone.

Put it down.

But perhaps it's better
that you're here.

Put it down.

Put it away.

[SCREAMS]

Help! He's the one!
He's got a gun!

[MOANS]

Illuminatus!
You bastard.

Illuminatus!
Sanctimonious bastard!

[GUNSHOTS]

PATRICK [OVER TAPE]: And get the
helicopter for the older cardinals, right?

VITTORIA [OVER TAPE]:
Robert?

The brand, the symbol,
could it have another meaning?

I've been summoned by
the College of Cardinals.

Gently...

but within our walls.

[SPEAKING IN GERMAN]

Father, into thy hands
I commend my spirit.

[SCREAMING]

[CROWD CHEERS]

WOMAN:
Church sources now confirm

that Camerlengo
Father Patrick McKenna

has died of internal injuries
sustained in his heroic fall.

MAN 1 [IN SPANISH]: Crowds
of the faithful are calling for

the camerlengo's immediate
canonization and sainthood.

The Vatican also
announced the death

of three of its cardinals

in the fire
at Santa Maria della Vittoria.

MAN 2: ...as we await the
appearance of the new Holy Father

Cardinal Baggia of Italy,

one of the four
original preferiti,

who, despite terrorist
attempts at disruption,

seems to have been selected

in one of the swiftest
and smoothest conclaves

in modern Church history.

Professor Langdon?
Please.

A token of thanks
from His Holiness,

and from his new camerlengo.

We are grateful
you saved his life.

And it's our understanding
that you require this text

to complete your scholarly work.

We ask only that in your last
will and testament

you ensure...

it finds its way home.

Of course.

And when you write of us,

and you will write of us,

may I ask one thing?

Do so gently.

I'll try.

Religion is flawed,

but only because man is flawed.

All men, including this one.

He chose the name Luke.

There's been many
Marks and Johns...

never a Luke.

It's said he was a doctor.

It's quite a message,
science and faith all in one.

The world is in need of both.

You will counsel him wisely.

I am an old man.
I will counsel him briefly.

Mr. Langdon...

Thanks be to God for sending
someone to protect his Church.

I don't believe he sent me,
Father.

Oh, my son,

of course he did.
