The Vatican is expressing sympathy for the mugging victim
a Dusseldorf tourist, now confirmed dead .
The Vatican police have a suspect in custody .
The Vatican Will alloW the crowd back into St. Peter's Square
where security will be doubled .
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. -Hand to the right. Keep panning.
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 haNe 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.
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?
lf the Holy Father was given an overdose of Tinzaparin
what signs would his body bear?
Bleeding of the oral mucosa.
His tongue.
Postmortem' the blood congeals and turns the inside of the mouth black.
Even after 1 4 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?
-Yes, sir. -We'll be leaving straightaway.
Do you smoke?
A little bit.
Then you better sit down before you keel over.
And what's all that right there?
What does this say in ltalian 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?
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 ."
Ecstasy of Saint Teresa. Saint Teresa on fire .
So this sculpture was moved to this church?
Why did they shut down the system? They knoW we're down here.
lf there's no power, there's no oxygen.
-Can we get out? -The door is electronic.
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 feIt 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 ltaly, so l 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.
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.
This way.
lf the Holy Father was murdered, the implications are profound.
Vatican security is impenetrable.
No one from the outside could have got anywhere near him.
It was someone on the inside.
And we can trust no one.
No light reaction on Zone 97 .
Based on the rate the battery is using power
the device will detonate just before midnight.
Holy Father
when I was young' you told me the voice in my heart was God's voice.
You said I should follow it, no matter hoW painful.
Forgive me.
Please.
Give me strength.
What I do, I do in the name of everything you believe.
Remove the cover.
Did you not hear me?
Signore £¬ by law , we are at you command, but--
One day I will ask your forgiveness for putting you in this position.
But today I ask your obedience.
Vatican laWs are there to protect this church.
And it's in that spirit that I command you to break one of them now.
God help us.
Santa Maria della Vittoria. Do you know it?
-Yes, I do. -It's the next church.
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. -We had no idea
that portions of our white zones were cross-wired with that building.
Commander Richter was extending the search.
lf he had known, he never would have killed the power.
Or there is the other possibility.
ls it conceivable the llluminati
have infiltrated the SWiss Guard?
Perhaps.
-I wanna speak to the camerlengo. -The camerlengo is unavailable.
He's found evidence that the Holy Father was indeed murdered.
-He is seeking guidance. -From whom?
From God.
-Make an effort. Please. -Yeah, yeah.
The journals. Where are they?
Who took the journals from this desk?
Someone is here? 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.
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 llluminati.
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.
We must open the doors' tear down the blacken curtains and speak to our flock.
lf 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
l pray
that you break this conclave.
Open the doors
evacuate St. Peter's Square ...
and tell the world the truth.
Oh' my God.
Get him down!
No!
There, there' that chain. On that pulley.
This bench. Get this pew up here. Make a ladder.
My son
God answers all prayers
but sometimes his answer is no.
The College will not break conclave.
May I suggest
you direct your energies
to helping the Swiss Guard find this explosive device
if it exists.
And leave Church leadership
to its leaders.
Eminence.
There is a growing fear that without the four preferiti
a two-thirds majority for any candidate will not be possible.
-Unless-- -Speak plainly.
It is the recommendation of many
that you ask to be removed from your post as Great Elector
thereby making yourself eligible
to wear the Ring of the Fisherman.
Well
if it is God's will
may his will be done.
Signore' are you okay?
Those journals are private property. l demand you return them.
They're material evidence in a Vatican investigation.
l am an ltalian citizen. My rights do not end
-just because I crossed to the other-- -This is not ltaly.
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
when l've decided they contain nothing of value to the investigation.
Do you have something to hide' Comandante Richter?
Do you' Dr. Vetra?
Were it up to me' it would not be this way.
It's a sin to kill with pain.
It's a sin to kill without reason.
Father
they make me a sinner.
Saint Teresa on fire .
Professor Langdon?
-What direction is that? -West' I think.
"'Cross Rome the mystic elements unfold."
Piazza Barberini is here.
Saint Teresa is here.
Where is the Santa Maria del Popolo?
-Santa Maria del Popolo? -Yes.
Thank you.
St. Peter's is here.
We are here.
A church with water .
Wait, Wait, wait.
"'Cross Rome."
The poem must mean it literally' cross Rome.
Professor' Commander Richter has ordered me
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.
ln 1 4 minutes, he's gonna be dead.
This way' professor.
Yes, Padre?
At 1 1 : 1 5, 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.
l don't want the last image of this Church to be of men
sneaking out the back door.
"Let angels guide thee."
There it is.
-There it is. -Professor, I know this fountain.
-There is no angel on it. -The dove. The Angel of Peace .
And it's looking in what direction?
East, I think.
Professor' just Wait here .
Stay put.
Good evening. Can you help me?
I'm waiting for a doctor.
Come here.
Stay calm. Don't shoot.
Hey!
Help!
Somebody help!
Help, somebody!
Cardinal Baggia?
Cardinal Baggia.
Where was he hiding you?
The Church of lllumination, where is it?
Castel-- Castel Sant'Angelo.
Castle of the Angel.
Sir, there's neWs about Cardinal Baggia.
The cardinal told Langdon he was being held in Castel Sant'Angelo.
lf Langdon's right' that's where the bomb is.
Send everyone we can spare .
And you?
I'm staying here.
Vittoria.
-You're all right. -I'm all right.
What about you? I just heard.
I'm all right, I'm okay.
Robert' we can't trust Richter. He took Silvano's journals.
There must be something in there he doesn't want us to see.
The head of the Swiss Guard.
Castel Sant'Angelo, it's close' so the signal from that camera
could still reach the Vatican.
The Church of lllumination is somewhere here.
Your canister is inside it.
Come with me .
For 400 years, the llluminati met right under the Church's nose.
The Vatican used this as a hideout and as a prison for their enemies.
lf the explosion happens here' Would the blast radius take out the Vatican?
And part of Rome along With it.
Go on.
They're pointing to it. The angels.
The canister must be down there. Come on.
-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 find a flashlight.
All of these stones are rectangular granite.
Except right here. What is this?
It's a pentagram.
An eye
that leads to .
Nowhere.
Robert?
These walls overlap and there's a passageway back here.
Here, let me have the flashlight.
It's a passageWay that leads to the Vatican.
An ancient escape route.
My God.
Here.
Look.
This would be the perfect place for the llluminati to blow...
the whole building up.
Here. Here.
Get on the radio. Get the word out. Conclave remains sealed.
But the camerlengo gave the order for evacuation at--
I'm countermanding it.
This is it. This is their church.
The canister should be lit by artificial light.
It's not here' Robert.
"A shining star at the end of the path." It has to be.
It's not here.
-What did the poem say? -Nothing.
Nothing, it's all over. It was just the four lines' each one describing the .
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, l would not exist, now would l?
l'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.
Be careful.
These are men of God.
The camerlengo.
-Camerlengo will grant you audience. -Good.
l'd like to see him alone.
That's impossible, sir. No one sees the camerlengo alone.
Have you forgotten who you're working for?
No, sir.
Have you come to make me a martyr?
Here. Here. Here.
-l need to see the camerlengo. -He is not available.
-l demand to see the camerlengo! -He is not available.
We'll see about that.
All locked up. Senza chiave, it's a one-way portal.
The only entrance is on the other side.
No! Hey!
l don't care Who he talks to. He doesn't go into that room.
This is Robert Langdon and Dr. Vetra! Open the door!
Open up!
Open the door!
Hey!
The camerlengo is in danger.
He's the one! He's got a gun!
-llluminatus! -You bastard.
-llluminatus! -Sanctimonious bastard!
Order the evacuation.
We only have 1 9 minutes.
Here, he's--
Get the helicopter for the older cardinals.
Yes, sir.
Robert?
The brand' the symbol' could it have another meaning?
Crossed keys. But those are upside down.
St. Peter.
The first pope
was crucified upside down.
-On Vatican Hill. -A few hundred feet below us.
Necropolis' city of the dead.
"Upon this rock I will build my church."
Or bring it down upon itself.
The bomb is in St. Peter's tomb.
The grid is still cycling.
The power to this section must be down.
It must be here. It must be.
Don't touch it.
We have seven minutes.
Robert' hold this.
It's cold doWn here' isn't it?
What's wrong?
Cold decreases battery life.
We may have less than five minutes.
So?
lf I pull the power with less than five minutes
the residual charge won't hold suspension.
We should leave it here and get clear if we can.
-At least down here, the damage-- -No!
-No, wait! -Father!
We are live here at St. Peter's Square
where despite a bomb threat and an order of evacuation
the crowd is actually growing in size as we await an official...
announcement from the Vatican spokesman
as to the exact nature of the threat
and whether or not they are treating it as a credible danger.
This way.
A bomb?
Roberto, there's an emergency. I'll take her up alone.
He's got clearance.
Oh' my God.
Get doWn!
Cardinal Strauss?
It was the camerlengo. He saved us all!
He saved the church and he is alive.
Praise God. Praise God.
He is alive.
He sacrificed himself for all of us.
It's so incredible. He survived.
You know, the worst thing we thought would happen
was that our work Would fall into the hands of the energy companies.
We thought we could change the World.
So naive.
No, no. Not naive.
lnnocent, maybe.
But that's not a crime.
I'm not so sure.
Go back to work.
Change the world.
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.
l 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.
They are singing in St. Peter's Square .
And what happened here tonight transcends our laws.
Does it?
ls 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.
lf 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.
l 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.
lf 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.
l read the journals, 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 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 you conjured up an old enemy from the past.
The llluminati.
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.
lf 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.
l've shown the journals to Father Simeon.
The moment the doors to the conclave open
he will tell the cardinals what you've done.
l was planning on doing this alone.
Put it down.
But perhaps it's better that you're here.
Put it down.
Put it aWay.
Help! He's the one! He's got a gun!
-llluminatus! -You bastard.
-llluminatus! -Sanctimonious bastard!
And get the helicopter for the older cardinals, right?
Robert?
The brand, the symbol, could it have another meaning?
l've been summoned by the College of Cardinals.
Gently
but within our Walls.
Father, into thy hands l commend my spirit.
Church sources now confirm...
that Camerlengo Father Patrick McKenna
has died of internal injuries sustained in his heroic fall.
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.
--as we await the appearance of the neW Holy Father
Cardinal Baggia of ltaly
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.
l am an old man. I will counsel him briefly.
Mr. Langdon
thanks be to God for sending someone to protect his Church.
l don't believe he sent me' Father.
Oh' my son
of course he did.
