"Well, it sounds like there's a party going on inside." "Mon dieu, this is my lucky day." "You are very beautiful." "Come in, there's plenty of wine." "Who are you?" "(sydney:)he's with me." "(bernard:)well, in that case, you can come in, too." "(sydney:)the party" "Sounds great, but we're in a hurry." "We're looking for a bernard guillot." "He lives here." "You're looking at him." "(bernard:)I was plowing rows for a new vineyard" "In a field at the edge of town." "Then I hit something hard." "The mask." "Covered in dirt." "I wiped it off, tried it." "The mask disfigured your face." "(bernard:)that wasn't the worst of it." "The pain, more terrible than anything" "I'd ever felt before" "And the nightmares." "Like naomi's visions." "Of executions?" "The doctors told me there was nothing they could do." "I was starting to get worse physically." "I couldn't work." "(bernard:)one of the village elders was told a story" "When he was a boy" "About an executioner during the terror" "Who wore a mask to hide his ugliness." "There is a folk tale in these parts that after he died," "The executioner's body disappeared from the church" "Before it could be buried and that at night," "It can be seen still roaming the countryside." "Without its mask, apparently." "I took it to paris to find some real answers" "And when I couldn't find any, I sold it." "You didn't tell the dealer about the curse." "(bernard:)would you?" "Then, a few days later, a miracle happened." "I got my face back." "When did this so-called miracle happen?" "(bernard:)yesterday around noon." "Around the same time as the photo shoot." "Sydney, I just realized what this means:" "The curse can be removed" "By somebody else putting on the mask." "Bernard, do you know the history" "Of this field that you found the mask in?" "Prior to the revolution," "It belonged to the marquis de beauvilles." "When the aristocracy fell out of power after the revolution," "His estate was partitioned off to the local farmers." "It's been in my family ever since." "Au revoir." "Au revoir." "We're not closer to an answer for naomi." "But we learned something about the curse." "Sure knows how to have fun, doesn't he?" "So when someone else puts on the mask," "That will undo the curse of the last person who wore it." "Yes." "You sure?" "We saw the evidence firsthand." "I'd pay the person, obviously." "What?" "Oh, sure, we'll find a bum," "Stick it on him, pay him a few bucks." "What are you thinking?" "Yes, you're right." "It's..." "It's unthinkable." "We still don't have a solution," "And the doctors say her heart is getting worse." "[cell phone ringing] she may die." "It's 1-800-murder -and-mayhem." "We have someone else, an expert in executions." "The mask is the key to this." "Tell him we'll be right there." "Must we?" "Hello?" "(jean-claude:)julian?" "Jean-claude." "What news?" "How is the poor child?" "Well, naomi's still ill, of course," "But she'll be fine and we'll continue the shoot." "Let's not talk about her now." "Do you have the mask?" "Why?" "With all the publicity about what has happened," "It's legendary," "Worth a fortune to my campaign." "Is it in a safe place?" "Yeah, yeah." "Let me see it." "I..." "I gave it to a professor, a relic hunter named..." "Named sydney fox." "What were you thinking?" "What if she damages it..." "Or worse:" "Puts it in some museum?" "She's trying to help naomi." "Screw naomi." "I have plans for the mask." "Get it back." "Is there a problem?" "I mean, the mask and naomi..." "I talked to the plastic surgeon, too, julian." "We both know there's no hope for naomi." "Without her face," "You're washed up, finished." "But get me the mask" "And I see a whole new avenue for you, julian, for life."

"You know, this guillotine is so wonderful." "It is so much kinder than the axe." "Hmm?" "No, thanks." "What were you able to find out?" "What we hold here, my friends, is history." "The executioner's mask, a strong force." "Feel it." "No, thanks." "I would like to put it on myself." "There's a strap at the back." "We could just..." "We've had enough of that for one week." "The curse, hmm?" "And yet its beauty..." "It's almost magical." "A famous artisan made this, you know," "For the executioner of bourg." "And according to my research," "This executioner would bear the pain of every soul" "He took so that anyone wearing his mask" "Thereafter would take on the sufferings of this executioner," "His physical as well as his mental torment." "And now, the..." "The person now cursed in this way, a friend of yours?" "Yes." "Well, the only way to end her sufferings would be to..." "To find the executioner's grave" "And then put the mask on his remains." "And that's it?" "Do you know where we could find them?" "Unfortunately, no." "There's a folk tale in bourg that the body disappeared." "I heard about it." "Sorry." "Did this executioner have a name?" "During the revolution," "The executioners were anonymous" "To protect their families from..." "Retribution." "So they would take boys of the right age from orphanages" "And apprentice them to this craft." "Oh-ho-ho..." "Those were the days." "How does an orphan afford a mask by a famous artisan?" "I wondered that." "He couldn't." "Dare I say another dead end?" "No, no, not entirely." "There was an orphanage near bourg," "In a town called beauvilles." "Beauvilles?" "Beauvilles, that's..." "That's near where bernard guillot found the mask." "I don't know if it still exists." "Thank you for all your help." "We'll let you know what we find out." "Yeah, well, come back soon." "Oh, we sure will..." "With an armed detail and a straightjacket." "Why do I feel lucky that we got out of there alive?" "Julian, it's sydney." "(sydney:)I have an update." "We're heading to an orphanage in a town" "Called beauvilles, near bourg." "What's in an orphanage in beauvilles?" "I'll fill you in on that later." "Just tell naomi to hang on." "I have a hunch we're on the right track." "(julian:)hold on a second." "What's the orphanage called?" "(sydney:)I don't know." "Why?" "In case I need to get in touch with you." "You know, these cell phones" "Can be fairly unreliable out in the country." "Well, I can't imagine there's more than" "One orphanage in a small town." "We'll fill you in later." "(nigel:)funny." "Even the word "orphanage"" "Conjures up images of dickens and oliver twist." "Don't worry, we'll be in and out of here as quick as possible." "Looks kind of like a boarding school." "Ugh..." "What?" "Please don't ever mention that word in my presence again." "Brings back some very unpleasant memories" "Of incarceration during my youth." "You went to boarding... (nigel:)stop." "I considered it more of a cold," ".Cruel institution presided over by a staunch, heartless" "Head mistress we referred fondly to as the dragon lady." "What?" "Parlez-vous anglais?"

"Good, good, good." "Good, good, good." "(head mistress:)actually, we don't usually allow anybody" "To view the review the files because..." "Well, I suppose since you are asking" "For something that does go back so far in time" "And, of course, you being a history professor..." "How long has the orphanage been here?" "Well, actually, we prefer to refer to it as a pension." "The institution's been caring for children for, gosh," "At least over 300 years." "Would you please not touch that?" "!" "Yes, ma'am." "So..." "The files you'll be looking for" "Will be in through there and, of course," "All recent documents are strictly off-limits." "Do we understand?" "(nigel:)yes, ma'am." "Well, I think I should leave you to it then." "[mocking] "strictly off-limits"..." "I shall never send my kids away." "These children had no family." "They were orphans." "That's the point, nigel." "Then I shall have to adopt some poor wretch" "And save them from the wrath of headmistress satan." "Bet she's got one of those metal boxes, you know," "The ones they use in those southern prison movies for punishment." "Oh, nigel." "What've you got there?" "Financial records dating back to 1760." "Well." "This ledger lists arrivals" "To the orphanage in remarkable detail." "Well, the revolution began in 1789," "So a child born 20 years prior" "Would make him just about the right age." "About 19 years." "Here, look what I found in 1770." "1770, the year a deformed child is dropped off at the orphanage." "That could be our guy." "The executioner." "The historical profiles of the orphanage" "List that construction on a new wing..." "Where is it?" "Here." "Construction on a new wing began the same year he arrived." "Yeah, they don't make cash like that at a bake sale." "In 1770, the financial records say" "A major anonymous donation was made." "And construction of the new wing began." "That area hasn't been used for, gosh, over 100 years." "We weren't able to keep up the maintenance." "Well, if we could just see it." "No, I'm afraid that's not possible." "If there were a problem," "We'd be liable." "Well, surely we could just..." "What?" "Good, good, good, good." "Well, thank you for all your help." "Oh, my pleasure." "[whistle]" "Children, come on." "You still have it?" "Must be another way into that building." "We'll just go around outside" "And jump the wall." "With this?" "How's it going, nigel?" "(nigel:)well, according to the layout of the wing built in 1770," "There should be a staircase going down right here." "Look, this has been boarded up." "You can tell this was added later." "Look." "Oh." "Kick it, syd." "Okay." "Shh..." "Some kick." "Whose room was this?" "It's luxurious." "Yeah, not institutional like the others." "It's almost like an aristocratic mother" "Would've decorated for her child." "I mean, not that I would know," "But it sure seems like someone went to a lot of trouble and expense" "Assembling all the comforts of home." "Hardly the place you hide an outcast child." "There's a strong draft in here." "There're no windows." "Is it coming from here?" "(sydney:)no." "It's coming from in here." "Why on earth would you have a secret" "Passage in an orphan's room?" "{ Advertisement }" "These are foundation stones from a building." "What's left of it, anyway." "Well, there's nothing in the historical" "Profile of the orphanage" "That mentions any other buildings." "They built a tunnel into that room" "Without the co-operation of the orphanage?" "Doesn't seem likely, does it?" "It's blocked." "Looks like half a coat of arms." "Same date as the construction on the new wing, 1770." "Do you recognize it?" "Not without the other half." "There we go." "That's the coat of arms of the marquis de beauvilles." "The same guy with the field in bourg." "Why would the marquis put up a building" "Connected to the new wing of the orphanage?" "Maybe because he built both?" "Wait a minute, wait a minute." "There's another entry in here dated 1770 which caught my eye." "The same day that the deformed child arrived" "And the request was given to build a new wing," "A healthy child was adopted..." "August 7th, 1770." "Makes you wonder if the 3 events are connected." "An anonymous person donates a large sum" "Of money to build a nursery." "A deformed child is abandoned and a healthy one adopted." "Maybe by the marquis de beauvilles." "Isn't there still a chateau de beauvilles nearby?" "I think so." "I think it's..." "It's a short car ride away." "Look, let's get out of here before" "That witch puts us in detention." "[cell phone ringing]" "Hello?" "It's julian." "Naomi's getting worse." "Tell him we're getting close." "Look, we're leaving the orphanage now," "We hope to follow a good lead." "Sydney says to say we're getting close." "(nigel:)the marquis de beauvilles really knew how to live." "Oh, well, looks like we'll have to come back tomorrow morning" "And take the tour." "Ah." "I prefer the private ones." "They're so much more informative." "By my count, this is the 34th portrait of the marquis" "And we have more rooms to go." "(sydney:)handsome harry de beauvilles." "(nigel:)the marquis sure thought a lot of himself, didn't he?" "Do you see a family genealogy around here?" "No, but there was a library back there." "Why?" "I think we should give the marquis' family tree a little shake," "See what falls out." "There might be a family crypt down below." "August 7th, 1770, a child is delivered to the orphanage." "And another taken." "Two days later, handsome harry, marquis of beauvilles," "Presents to the world a beautiful baby boy." "What a hypocrite." "Lucky for us the french aristocracy" "Put such a premium on their family records." "The family crypt." "What do you expect to find?" "I have a hunch who built that wing in the orphanage" "And it wasn't the marquis." "Well, I'll just wait outside." "(nigel:)what exactly is this hunch of yours we're acting on?" "Call it maternal instinct." "Really?" "Maternal bond, a mother's love," "More powerful than any curse." "4 graves." "But only 3 names:" "Mom, dad, son..." "And a 2nd child no one else knew about," "The executioner of bourg." "Take a look at the dates." "The marquise outlived both her husband and her son." "She brought him here." "Maternal bond, nigel." "She couldn't abandon her child no matter what he looked like." "(nigel:)well, she had no choice while the marquis was still alive." "But she never abandoned her real son." "The special caretaking with that nursery started me thinking." "(nigel:)she made donations," "She built a nursery with a tunnel" "So she could visit him undetected." "And when he died, his body didn't disappear." "The marquise had it brought down here" "And laid to rest beside hers for all eternity." "It's a beautiful folk tale." "Let's put it to the test."

"She's had her time." "Now, it's my turn." "Give me the mask, please." "Give it to him, nigel." "What are you doing?" "You want the mask?" "It's in the bag."
