"You have?" "Are you still in possession?" "Mr. Langdon, do you have the tube?" " Yes." " Where are you located?" "Professor, we can't help you if we can't find you." "If that's the consulate, how did they know?" "Because they know." "What do we do?" "Tell them you're over there." " Hello." " Professor, we were cut off." " Yes, sorry." " Where are you located?" "I'm at a hotel, Pensione la Fiorentina." "Stay in your room." "We're sending someone, now." "I'll wait here; room 39." "OK." "We wait and see who they send." "Langdon accessed his email account from an unmasked IP address here in Florence." " When?" " 7 minutes ago." "Via Dolorosa, number 12, apartment 3C." " Via Dolorosa, how long?" " 12 minutes." "Go!" "I want that pointer back and I want Langdon." "Hurry. [FR] Let's get him!" "Go, go, go, now!" "Look at this." "This is odd." "This area here." "This is Dante's 8th level of hell." "It's called the Malebolge, means evil ditches." "There's ten of them." "This letter R, here, is not in the original painting." "It's been added." "There's another one." " Where?" " An E." "On seducers whipped by demons." "There's a C on the cheek..." "of a grafter." "A con man trapped in a river of boiling tar." " V, R." " Ah, there." " T." " There, there, A." "Hm..." "What is that?" "That's text." "Is that in English?" "The truth can be glimpsed only through the eyes of death." "Zobrist." "Bertrand Zobrist." "American billionaire!" " Must be nice!" " Hm!" "Bio-engineer." "Notorious for radical views." "Here he is." "It took the earth's population a hundred thousand years to reach a billion people." "And then just a hundred more to reach two billion." "And only fifty years to double again to four billion people in 1970." "We're nearly at eight billion now." "Bartlett gives the example of a beaker... with a single bacterium in it." "One that divides and doubles every minute." "If you placed the first bacterium into the beaker at 11 o'clock, and it's completely full by 12, at what time is the beaker still only half full?" "11:59." "That's what time it is for us." "In 40 years, 32 billion people will fight to survive." "They'll fail." "We're a minute to midnight." "Every single global ill that plagues the Earth can be traced back to human overpopulation." "But serious birth control measures, they don't stand a chance." "Outrageous!" "Violation of my rights!" "Invasion of my privacy!" "Don't tell me what to do!" "And still we keep attacking our own environment!" "There have been 5 major extinctions in the earth's history." "Unless we take bold immediate action the sixth extinction... will be our own." "We're a minute to midnight." "Looks like he's got a lot of followers." "Yeah, from all over the world." "He is compelling." "The 2 year disappearance, during which some authorities feared Zobrist may have designed an opportunistic viral pathogen." "He created a plague?" "!" "Well, then... but, why Dante?" "Why this map of hell?" "Is this supposed to be a puzzle or a challenge?" "Or a suicide note." "He killed himself 3 days ago." "The levels." "The levels are out of order, that's what's been bothering me." "The circles of hell have been rearranged." "It's the same woman from the hospital." "We can't stay here." "We certainly can't trust the Consulate." "Flatterers adrift in excrement;" "that's not right!" "If the plague exist, do you know how many governments would want it?" "Clerical profiteers; not there." " And what they'd do to get it." " Sowers of discord dead." "No!" "A biological weapon." "The letters." "He has assigned a letter to each sin and then changed their order." "He's made an anagram." "Yes!" "Anagram!" "Let's go." " I know another way out." " E, C, R..."

"I know why I am in Florence." "World Health Organization has landed, stand by." "Be advised," "Agent Bouchard, from the Paris Office is already here." "W.H.O., bring me up to speed." "Bouchard is up there now." " Where are we going?" " The Palazzo Vecchio." "Near the Boboli Gardens." "There's no sign of him." "Bouchard says Langdon is gone and so is the pointer." "Well, I need better." "I need better from you, from you, from all of us." "Better!" "Work faster." "Work smarter." "Don't trust anyone." "Let's do that." " Let's go." " Yes." "We know we can do better. [FR]" "This isn't good enough, yes?" "OK, gotcha." " Identification." " Vayentha." " Go ahead." " I need to speak to the Provost." "Hold on." "*..." "So, the WHO beat you to Mr. Langdon, Vayentha." "The Provost isn't going to like that." "I know him." "He's going to want to liquidate." "Tell him this isn't Berlin." "He tries anything, and I will find him." "Try to reacquire and make contact in 60 minutes." "Did you hear me?" "I am not disposable." "Vayentha, get the Faraday pointer, before the government does." "Shit." "They just said, we'll have the results in an hour. [FR]" " Mr. Sims." " Mm." "There's been a deviation." "Sorry to hear that." " What operation?" " Florence." "Our new player seems to have gone off script." "How unprofessional!" "And now the WHO has overtaken our position." "Tell Vayentha, if she values her position, she will remove Langdon." "Body not found." "Or better yet, a mugging gone awry:" "a blade, I think." "Cash gone, wallet remains." "Let's have a quick identification and move on." "Move on, move on." "Professor Langdon is out of frame." " And in possession of the tube?" " Yes." "He has the Faraday pointer." "It was such a good frame." " What is Vayentha's condition?" " Intact but anxious." "She should be." "What in god's name has this client gotten us into?" "No, no, no." "This is uh... rhetorical." "Ah, when are we due to receive the client's video?" "It just arrived." "His instructions were to upload it in 24 hours." "I want to look at it now." "But, the client, Mr. Zobrist." "Client?" "The client, is dead." "I want to see the video." "That's a violation of our protocols." "We're not the government." "We get things done." "Mr. Arbogast." "Chief among the attributes that makes us so very good at our job, is that as far as the world is concerned, we don't exist." "If this video implicates or even mentions us in any way," "I want to stop its release, for the benefit of all our clients." "You asked me to avoid abnormalities in procedure, that's all." "What, about Mr. Zobrist,... has ever remotely resembled normal?" " Well, I..." " Also rhetorical." "Bring me the video." "In the Palazzo's Hall of Five Hundred there's a famous mural," "Giorgio Vasari's Battle of Marciano." "Near the top of the mural is a coded message." "It's one the art world's most famous puzzles." " And what's the message?" " Cerca, trova." "Seek and find." "At the hospital, I kept saying I was sorry." "Very sorry, over and over." "Well, maybe that's not what I meant." "The name of the artist, Vasari." "I could have been saying Vasari." "That's good." "You seem clearer." " I am." " What's your middle name?" "Well, I am, I am." "Mm-hm." "Zobrist is dead but if his plague is real... then this map is a trail, he has left, so someone can find it." "Who?" "Someone who believes the same as he does." "And that's why you have it." "Well, I don't remember ever meeting Zobrist." "There's a lot you don't remember." "Maybe they- Maybe they came to you." "Wanted your help with the past." " Because I lecture on Dante?" " Exactly." "They'd show you the Faraday pointer, and try to convince you of their cause." " Mass murder?" " You said you found him compelling." "His argument." "His rhetoric" "Not this plan!" "Zobrist is a psychopath." "Well, maybe they tricked you." "Sent someone you knew." "It's a minute to midnight." " Is that for us?" " Logic would suggest..." "Damn it!" "Here, come on." "Follow me." "We could get there through the garden." "OK, the Palazzo Vecchio is this way." "We just flagged the car charged to her credit card within the past hour." "Antoine what's the police saying?" "[FR]" "They just ran off on foot in the garden." "Tell the police, the WHO will handle the chase." "Attention." "We are now under the authority of the WHO. [IT]" "You can try squad five." "New orders." "New orders from headquarters the Commandant is sending me in." "They're headed east-northeast, from Porta Romana." "We got this." "Prepare to move in quick. [IT]" "Attention." "Possibile sighting, near the school." "Suspects sighted." "Repeat: suspects sighted..." "We see them." "We're going in low." "Check the north stairs." "There's a small gray door down there." "It'll take us into the Vasari corridor." "Right across the Ponte Vecchio and into the Palazzo." " That's the door, see?" " Yeah." "Now!" "Approaching the north-east zone." "Ready security." " Is the garden completey walled?" " On all sides." "The only exits are through the Palazzo Pitti on the north side." "And through the vistors' gates on the east and the west sides." " No other way out?" " I suppose, if you count the Vasari gate." " But it's ancient." "No one knows about it." " Langdon does." "Go back." "Take up positions at the Vasari Corridor. [IT]" "The Professor has become a liability, Vayentha." "The Provost has issued a kill order." "Eliminate Langdon." "Fail, and you'll be held accountable." "Am I making myself clear?" "Copy that, sir." "There, that's the Vasari fresco," "The Battle of Marciano." "There." "There." "Look." "Look, look, look." "OK, see the two farmhouses, dead center up high." "Come down towards 4 o'clock." "And you'll see a small green flag." " Cerca, trova." " Yeah." "Seek and find." "Seek and find." "We sought it and we found it." "So, now what?" "The words Zobrist added to the painting." "The truth can be glimpsed only through the eyes of death." "Eyes of death." "Whose eyes?" "Aah!" "Aah!" " Was I given an injection?" " When?" "At the hospital, with the hypertenol?" "No, no, you were intubated." "Anything you got came through the IV." "Not at the hospital..." "I was fully dressed I was in the back of some car." "At some point in the last two days." "And something was injected into my bloodstream, and now I'm showing signs of an illness." "What if?" "..." "What if what?" "Sienna, what if I'm the carrier?" "Look... if you've got it, then I've got it too." "And everyone, we've come into contact with, has it and will likely die." "But if you don't." "If-If they gave you a narcotic or an hallucinogen, or anything else, then we still have a chance to save half the world." "It's worth a try, isn't it?" "Professor." "Ah, it is you!" "Why you're back so soon?" "I have no idea who this woman is." "I almost didn't recognize you in that suit." "You've been shopping?" "Ma..." "Professor, you bumped your head." "In the shower, yes." "It... was quite a tumble." " Aii!" " Yeah." "I'm sorry." "This is Sienna... my niece." "You're in Italy, Professor, you don't have to say, 'niece'." " No." "No." " No, he's not..." "Piacere!" "Marta Alvarez." "Pleasure to meet you." "Is Ignazio with you again?" " Ignazio?" " Ah!" "Ignazio couldn't make it this morning." "I'm sorry to bother you, Marta, but..." "I can imagine you know why I'm back, again." "Really?" "Of all the treasures in the Palazzo!" "..." "He and 'il Duomino' spent almost an hour with it up there last night." "It's-It's so morbid." "No." "No, it's cool." "Alright, come on." "I'm headed up that way." "He's an extremely resourceful man." "I was told you were, as well, Mr. Bouchard." "So, tell me," " what do you think he's doing?" " What do you think you're doing?" "I brought you the pointer and now it's gone." " You have a leak." " We lose him in the street... reacquire him at the doctor's apartment." "I can handle boots on ground." " We don't need your help." " What if he's injured?" "A head wound." "What, you think he's confused?" " Doesn't know what he's doing?" " It's possible." "How far did he get that night before he disappeared?" "To the Hall of Five Hundred." "So let's stop chasing him, anticipate him instead." "Antoine, don't stake out his place. [FR]" "Ne sdavaysya..." "Da, davai. [RU] (Don't give up..." "Let's go)" "Oh, wait!" "[IT] Not so fast, please." "I'm about to burst." "Such a romantic date he takes you on, to see a death mask!" "Ah!" "They were common practice in the 1500s." "It's essentially just a plaster cast of someone's face, made a few moments after that person dies." ""Through the eyes of death."" "Whose face was used for this mask?" "The poet..." "Dante." "It is a romantic story, I suppose." "Dante loved Florence, he was prominent and powerful, but..." "The political winds changed and he was exiled." "They threatened to burn him at the stake if he ever returned." "Actually, some people say Dante's exile is the reason his death mask looks so sad." "No." "No, it was because of Beatrice." "Dante only knew her from afar but he was obsessed with her his entire life." "Your niece is a romantic, Professor." "They say Dante wrote his poem about his journey out of hell to reach her." "But he never made it." "She married someone else." "That happens." "Does it?" "Who left who?" "Things fall apart, if you don't look after them." "Oh, we ask that you stay behind the stanchions, please." " Thank you." " Good timing, Professor." "We've only just opened." " Marta." " Si?" "Il professor insisted on seeing the mask... [IT]" "There." "That's us." "That's Ignazio Busoni." "I've known him for years." "He's THE Dante scholar." "The mask's owner insists on the stanchions to keep people back." "He doesn't even permit staff to open the case without him present." "So the mask is not owned by the museum?" "No, a private collector bought it from us, and allows us to display it in perpetuity." "It's common practice, to raise funds." "Who is the collector?" "Bertrand Zobrist, the billionaire." "His ideas were quite eccentric, but still it's such a shame what happened." "That's when I got the call." " Did you see...?" " That's me." "Continue. [IT]" " What's he doing?" " But...!" "Oh." "Professor, I..." "I don't know what to think!" "I'm, I'm... appalled!" "But, this is impossibile!" "[IT]" " Professor." " Professor Langdon!" "Look, there's an explanation for all of this." "It's the carabinieri. [IT]" "The police." "Disappear!" " What happened?" " Where is he?" "It'll all be exposed." "I'll be right back." "Marta, you wait here." " What's going on?" " We had a break-in." "They must be mad." "They can't come in here." "What am I gonna do, now?" "Nothing." "I'm pregnant, I can't even think of..." "This is all my fault!" "Professor." "Professor, I very much want to respect you" " but I do not understand." " Please sit down." " Why you have done this?" " I'm going to explain this." " This is not OK." " Marta, I do not know where that mask is." "But I will do everything I can to find it and return it to you." "Professor, what are you doing?" "Professor, please." "No." "Professor, come back." "You can't do that!" "Professor, please don't." " Hey." "Hey." " Professor." " Just don't follow us." " Please, don't do this." "Professor!" "Let's just calmly find a way outta here." "Why didn't you tell me about Ignazio?" "Would you have helped me if you knew I was a thief?" "You lied to me when you asked for my help." "Well technically, I withheld." "If I really took that mask..." "You did take the mask, I just saw you." "This is not your problem." "You don't have to stay." "Of course, I do." "Human lives are at stake." "I just want to know that I'm on the right side." " You are." "I swear." "Good." "Now let's find what we're looking for." "Call this Ignazio, and ask him where he hid the mask." "Ignazio's disappeared." "He's gone into hiding." "He said, they were chasing him, too." "But he left a clue." "In the e-mail, "Paradise Twenty-five"." "That's a reference to Dante's Divine Comedy, Canto XXV." "But..." " I need a copy of the book." " A copy of the book?" "That's quaint." "I use Google." "They're closing down the museum." "Only the main exit is gonna be open." "Then, we will go through Armenia." "We're together. [IT]" "All exit doors are now sealed." "This is the only way in or out." "What about hidden exits?" "Tunnels, concealed doorways?" "It's a 700 year old Palazzo, Signore, there are a number of them." "Show me." "Armenia." "Professor, how worldly!" "Secrets of the Palazzo Invisible." "It's a great tour, you should take it sometime." "We should be safe here for a minute." "Go." ""By then with other voice, with other fleece..." ""I shall return as poet and put on, at my baptismal font, the laurel crown."" "Baptismal font." "Il Duomo, the Cathedral where Dante was baptized." "That's where Ignazio works..." "It's where he hid the mask!" "This area's clear!" "They're gonna think we're headed down to the exit." "I'm going upstairs!" "[IT]" "Then we go up." "Alright." "We're right above the Hall of Five Hundred." "There's a stairway leading down to the street on the other side." "So..." "One step at a time." "OK?" "Are you afraid of heights?" "A little." "I'm uncomfortable in tight spaces." "So, don't look down." "Or, do." "I can never remember, which." "It's not that hard." "Sienna!" "Are you alright?" " You OK?" " Yeah." "Alright, just..." "crawl along that beam there." "And I'll meet you on the far side, by the ladder." " Antoine ou est Parker?" " Il est la." "Sir." "Give me six men, stationed here." "Safeties off." "You're being stupid now, Professor Langdon!" "Go, go." "Get out, go!" "They needed you, but now, they've changed their minds." "Get these people out." "Everyone out!" "Clear the room!" "Give me that." "These doors, here." "Eastern side." "That's where they're headed." " OK." " Go, move." "Quick!" "Stop violence to animals!" "[IT]" "Stop violence to animals!" "Stop violence to animals!" "Bouchard." "Agent Bouchard, come in." "What is your location?" "Agent Bouchard, come in." "That same word is on the envelope the video arrived in, along with the date." "That date is tomorrow." "Oh, thank you, that was not lost on me." "The darkest places in hell are reserved for those who refuse to act in time of crisis." "Dante's hell isn't fiction anymore, it's prophecy." "We have created our own hell on earth." "Oh my..." "The warnings have been obvious, the solutions ignored." "So, I took action." "If you're watching this, it means the Inferno virus was released last night at midnight." "And... is now being carried to every corner of the Earth." "Oh my..." "Within 6 days of its release, the virus will replicate itself, in every man, woman and child on Earth." "Expect the current... the current population to be culled by half." "The survivors will witness horrors... unknown to this planet." "But I want them to know why." "That this was our doing and this is our salvation." "Now is the time." "Today is..." " There's more." " I believe I've got the gist." "It appears our organization has spent the last several years in the employ of a madman who now intends to commit a mass murder using a deadly plague of his own creation at some point in the next 24..." "Sorry... less than 12 hours." "So, let's do our level best not to fuck things up any worse than we already have, shall we?" "Without the Faraday pointer, no one can find the virus." "Where is Professor Langdon now?" "He was with Dr. Brooks in the Boboli Gardens but we seemed to have lost visual." "And I'm afraid we have no contact from Vayentha." "I see." "I'm going to Florence myself." "Test her for signs of contagion and quarantine this place." "If we don't find Langdon very soon, we're going to be looking at a great many more dead bodies." "Are you alright?" "It's weakness." "Just weakness, goddammit." "We'll just take a moment." "Did you see her down there?" "Yes." "Everything I've done, every bit of work and study since I was eleven is to stop death, not cause it." "It was self defense." "Someone was trying to kill us." "I dunno if I can finish this." "I understand if you can't." "Look, Zobrist is the murderer, not you." "You saved me." "You don't have to take another step." "No, you're right." "I did what was necessary and I'll do it again if I need to." "I pray that you don't." "Looks like it's closed for repairs." "OK." "Here." "There." "The baptismal font." "Dante, again?" "Always Dante, why Dante?" " Acrylic gesso." " You mean paint." "Water soluble paint." "Smells like a wet dog." "Look at that!" "It's writing." ""Seek the treacherous Doge of Venice, who severed the heads from horses."" "Venice." "Where Dante was infected with the disease that killed him." ""Kneel within the gilded museum of holy wisdom," ""and listen for the sounds of... trickling water."" ""deep into the sunken palace," ""where the chthonic monster waits."" "The plague itself." "Underwater." ""Submerged in the blood-red waters of..." ""of the lagoon that reflects no stars."" "Professor!" "Could you please tell me what the hell you're doing?" "Why haven't you called in?" "Who are you?" "Christoph Bouchard, from the World Health Organization." " We've met." " We've met?" "You really don't remember?" "It was just 2 days ago." "He's suffering the effects of a head wound." "He can't remember the events of the last 48 hours." "I'm the one who flew to Cambridge and asked for your help." "I gave you the pointer to decode." "Professor Langdon." "Yes." "OK." "Yeah, I-I remember." "Who are you?" "I was the ER doctor at the hospital when the Professor came in." "What is the last thing you remember?" "I was on the street." "I think it was here." "I was with a woman." " And I was given an injection." " Elizabeth Sinskey." "Elizabeth?" "From the World Health Organization." "Do you know her?" "I do." "But I haven't seen Elizabeth in years." "She's the reason I followed you, alone." "What do you mean?" "I believe Dr. Sinskey is working with a foreign government to find and sell the virus." "No, no, no." "That's not possible." "People change, Professor." "I've been chasing Bertrand Zobrist for 2 years." "And someone has been working against me." "Let's get to the point." "You know where the virus is?" "I assume you have some sort of credentials." "Call the WHO, if you like." "Check me out, but do it quickly." "Venice." "We think it's Venice." "Good." "It's 2 hours by train." "Come on." "If I could find you, so can the others." "I'm buying you both plane tickets to Geneva." "No, not Geneva." "He said Venice." "I heard that." "Excuse us." "Stand back, please." "Excuse us." "Excuse us." "Watch yourself, please." " This is the plane to Geneva?" " Yes, but we just closed the door." "Keep the plane at the gate." "We need to check every passenger." "That would be a waste of time." "And we have very little of that." "3 days ago, after 2 years of searching, I found Zobrist." "He killed himself." "But we took a package from his pocket." "And what was in it?" "The Faraday pointer with the map of hell." "A puzzle, specifically designed for his followers to solve." "We brought it to you." "And we were in the process of decoding it, when you were kidnapped." "Professor Langdon." " You were with Dr. Sinskey, at the time." " Elizabeth, yes." "Did she tell you about any third party interest in the virus?" "I don't remember." " Did she have financial problems?" " Uh, I dunno." " Did she carry more than one cellphone?" " I don't know." " Think." " He doesn't remember." "Millions of persons could die!" "[FR]" "I've no time for your crap, "I don't know, I don't remember"" " Remember goddammit!" " Stop, you're not helping!" "The "gilded museum," is that Saint Mark's." "All of Venice is a museum." "St. Mark's has the Horses of Constantinople, they're bronze statues." "Can I see that?" "I wouldn't touch it." "I wasn't planning on it." "Professor?" "Professor Langdon." "Professor Langdon." "Professor Langdon." "Yes." "Hello, Robert." "Elizabeth." "It's been a long time." "Too long." "What brings you here?" "The WHO needs your help." "My help?" "I hope you still remember your Dante." "What just happened?" "Oh..." "Are you alright?" "Could you get some water?" "He could be dehydrated." "Some food, maybe some fruit or something from the machine." " Quickly." " Please, go..." "Thank you." " Is he lying?" " Through his teeth." "He was not the one that came to Cambridge to see me." "Bouchard, I need help!" "Quickly!" "I think he's collapsed." "He's in there." "I can't open the door." "Langdon?" "Are you OK?" "Langdon, are you OK?" "Let's go!" "You're telling me that for 2 years, you and your organization have been working against me." "That is correct." "To shield Bertrand Zobrist and his research." " To hide him, to protect him." " Regrettably, yes." "And that all of my attempts to prevent him from initiating a worldwide pandemic have failed because of you." "An incisive sum-up, yes." "Now you have the temerity to ask that I simply decide to trust you?" "I'm terribly sorry, I didn't see any other way." "Who, exactly, does your group work for?" "Our clients, of course." "We are a private security firm." "A very successful one." "May I ask, the gentleman who is with you, agent Bouchard, where is he now?" "We don't know." "We lost track of him." "Then the situation is worse than you think." "There is only one reason he would move out of contact." "He wants Mr. Langdon to himself." "Why?" "To find the virus and sell it to the highest bidder I assume." "Leverage, blackmail, you know, the usual shit." "I don't think we have anything further to discuss, Mr. Sims." "And I have less than 8 hours to find this pathogen, excuse me." "From what I understand, you knew the Professor, some time ago." "Personally." "You care about him." "You would even ally with an unscrupulous character such as myself to protect him, wouldn't you?" "My organization has the resources to find the Professor." "If you wanted to start a plague, this is where you do it." "Yeah." "20 million people a year come here from every corner of the globe." "During the Black Death, the Venetians made all the ships anchor in the harbor for 40 days, before they would allow the crews into the city, making sure that they were not carrying the Plague." "The word, quarantine, comes from the Italian, quaranta:" "forty." "It's nice to have you back, Professor." "There... the horses." "These are recreations, the originals are in a museum for preservation." "We should be quick." "Bouchard knows we're coming here." "Per favore." "(Please)" "Ask that guide, if the heads have ever been severed from these horses?" "Mi scusi. (Excuse me)" " Scusi." " Per favore. (Please)" "Per favore." "Questi cavalli... le teste sono mai state rimosse nel passato?" "Si narra che durante le crociate, i cavalli furono portati a Venezia da Costantinopoli." "According to the tale, during the Crusades, the horses were looted from Constantinople." "Quando cercarono di caricarli a bordo delle navi..." "But they were too large to be loaded on board the ships," "Quindi, si, le teste furono rimosse... so their heads were removed and then reattached." " By whom?" " Who removed them?" "The Immortal Doge, Enrico Dandolo." " Enrico Dandolo." " The Doge who lived forever." "Of course, Enrico Dandolo." "Dandolo tricked the Venetians into the Crusades." "He was supposed to sail his ships to Egypt, but he sacked Constantinople instead." "I'm sorry." "Of course!" "The Gilded Museum of Holy Wisdom!" "Are we in the wrong basilica?" "We're in the wrong country." "Dandolo ruled Venice, but he was not buried here." "So where was he buried?" "Hagia Sophia." " Istanbul." " Istanbul." "There's always a way out." "Here." "Here." "Let's see if we can get that open." "I got your foot." "Can you get it?" "Shh!" "Is there someone there?" "Can you give us a hand?" "[IT]" "Yes...?" "Give us a hand?" " 100 euro." " Yes, yes!" " A hundred euros." " Here, I got it, I got it." "C'mon, c'mon, c'mon!" "What are you doing?" "You called him a murderer, a psychopath." "What?" "But history will call us saviors." "Oh my god." "Oh my god." "I'm not afraid to act, Robert." "But, doing nothing terrifies me." "The path and the pointer..." "he left that all for you." "Zobrist." "You knew him?" "Knew him?" "!" "I loved him." "You're wearing his suit." "No." "Sienna, no." "Thank you, forever." "Thank you for everything." "No." "No." "Sienna, no!" "Sienna!" "No, Sienna!" "Sienna, no!" "Slow down, slow down." "You're too fast." "Oh, come on." "Come on!" "This took me 3 days!" "Too easy." "I love it." ""Everything before you exists." ""An idea." ""Now it's real." ""Love awakens the soul to act."" "That's not fair." "Quoting Dante to me." "But it's, 'beauty', not 'love'." "What?" "It's a minute to midnight." "It's sooner than I expected." "Where are we going?" "Oh." "I see." "We planned it together, we designed it together," "but this part belongs only to you." "It's just safer if you don't know where." "What if they find you first?" "What then?" "If you want to know, you're not alone, you've got to start by trusting me." "Unless we take bold, immediate action the sixth extinction... will be our own." "You were right." "I'm gonna make you another path." "Inferno will be at the end." "If something should happen to me, the first clue will be delivered to you." "I know you'll do what must be done." "Seek and find." "You are not alone." "So... the beautiful young woman went for the bad guy." "That happens." "You look disappointed." "I'll give you a minute." "Elizabeth is not the one who wants the virus to sell, you are." "You've been used." "Elaborate schemes created by people to get you to do what they want." "But me," "I'm very direct." "And this is a moment of great opportunity for me." "So, where is the virus?" "Come on, Professor!" "How much life is there in the world?" "How much more, is fighting to be born?" "Nothing wrong with thinning the herd, once in a while." "It's healthy." "I've seen many acts of god:" "f2amine, typhoons, cholera." "And you know what?" "Sometimes it hits the right people." " That's inhuman." " Humanity is inhuman." "Life maybe cheap, but the means to end it on a mass scale, no one ever stops paying for that." "I'm going to ask you for the last..." "Terribly sorry." "Didn't see any other way." "Must do this quickly." "The less blood the better." "Who are you?" "Oh, a facilitator." "Among other things my company creates illusions." "You never had a real head wound." "But, I-I lost my memory." "Chemically induced." "We gave you an injection of benzodiazapenes." "Sorry, it can produce a skin rash." "It should fade in a day or so." "All this was a..." "This was a fake?" "I prefer, 'created reality'." "My agents kidnapped you." "They cleared your memories so we could create a fresh scenario, whereby you would be invested in the idea of helping us." "A small incision was made in your scalp to give the impression of a bullet graze." "There are no locks on hospital doors." "Exactly." "Highest marks." "What about the policewoman who shot the Doctor in the hospital?" "Also was faked." "Her gun fired blanks." "And there were squibs in the door." "The doctor was an agent wearing a blood packet." "The taxi driver at the hospital was working for us as well." "At the Palazzo Vecchio she tried to kill me." "With real bullets." "At my behest." "When things had appeared to go tits up," "I tried to sweep it all away, quickly." "By killing me?" "!" "Oh, I apologize unreservedly, Mr. Langdon." "I did lose an experienced agent." "There's a great deal of situational ebb and flow in my line of work." "Look, here we both are, now." "I know, I behaved terribly." "But a puzzle needed solving." "Who better to solve it than you?" "Glance away, will you?" "Not my best work." "But, it'll do for the Italians." "Zobrist had followers everywhere as Sienna first came to me for help." "Or so I thought." "She came to us with serious concerns shortly after Zobrist died." "Somehow, she knew Zobrist had hired us." "She said he was doing biological work that could be lethal in the wrong hands." "She didn't mention a plague." "But we heard enough to be alarmed." "So we agreed to work with her to find Zobrist's project." "And when Dr. Sinskey brought you in, we saw an opportunity." "It was Elizabeth who came to see me." "Yes." "Dr. Sinskey got the Faraday pointer from agent Bouchard." "She brought it to you to decode, and she even secured it with your thumbprint." "That left us with no choice, so we took you from her on the street." "The hospital scenario encouraged you to trust Dr. Brooks." "When you called to the Consulate it was answered by our man." "Professor Langdon?" "Thank heavens you're alive." "We've been looking for you." "Are you still in possession?" "You had the pointer and we had you." "It was all working seamlessly until Miss Brooks stole you away." "To make sure the virus is released." "It appears." "Young people are disappointing." "I find they become tolerable around 35." "You mentioned Dr. Sinskey." "I've been so worried." "Are you alright?" " I'm fine." " Are you?" "I'm okay." "I'm alright." "Thank god." " Do you know where the virus is?" " Istanbul." "Now's the time." "Today is our rebirth." "Inferno is salvation." "I am so sorry I brought you into this, Robert, after all these years." "No." "I'm glad you did." "I met him, you know." "Zobrist. 2 years ago." "He asked for my help." "He wanted the WHO to endorse mass sterilization in drinking waters and staple foods." "So I threw him out of my office, put him on the watch list." "But he disappeared and..." "I suppose that's when Zobrist hired Sims." "I should probably have... have..." "I don't know." "What?" "You have always blamed yourself for things that weren't your fault." "Still very sweet." "Here, the doorway." "I wish it would have happened differently, back then." "We didn't look after it." "It fell apart." "Is that a regret?" "Only when I think about it." "The most interesting things happen in doorways," "At the borders." "Right along the edges." "Ancient fishermen learned to sail where the warm water met the cold." "The little fish would reach the edge of the warm water and they'd stop." "And the big fish would come out of the cold water and they'd eat them." "And the fishermen..." "Well, they caught everybody." "Doorways." "Not one particle of you has changed, Robert." "You talk too much." "And then... not at all" "Elizabeth," "I couldn't ask you not to go to Geneva." "I couldn't." "I didn't want to ask you to leave Cambridge." "Is that, how it happened?" "I don't trust my memory, anymore." "I never forget anything." "Well, that's a gift." "No, it isn't." "Leave him alone!" "Hey, hey!" "What are you doing?" "Hey, leave him alone!" "Turn around!" "Don't look at me, bitch, look away!" "Stop it!" "Don't look!" "Robert!" "Thank you." "[TURKISH]" "[TURKISH]" "[TURKISH]" "[TURKISH]" "[TURKISH]" "I'm a friend of the poet." "[TURKISH]" "[TURKISH]" "For what did Zobrist die?" "That others may live." "I've come very far to make sure nothing interferes." "The delivery system we designed will discharge the viral agent by midnight tonight." "But there are others who are on their way to stop it." "I need to find it before they do and trigger an explosion to ensure its release." "How do we help?" "During the Plague of Justinian, 5000 people died every day in the streets of Istanbul, the border between East and West." "Another doorway." "Which is why he chose it." "If the bag's intact, we can contain it." "But if someone ruptures it, before we get there... 95% of the earth's population will be infected in 4 to 7 days." " Professor." " Doctor." "My name is Mirsat, I'm the curator here." "Have you completely evacuated the building?" "Well, to the extent that we can but the place is massive." "Could you tell me specifically what it is you're looking for?" "The tomb of Enrico Dandolo." "Of course, this way." ""Kneel within the gilded museum of holy wisdom, and listen for the sounds of trickling water."" ""Follow deep into the sunken palace."" "I hear water flowing under these stones." "Where does it go?" "Just drainage." "It goes to the city cistern." "We're looking for a large, underground space, perhaps with columns, artificially lit from within." "That's it." "The ancient system." "Sixth century." "Yerebatan Sarayi." "Well, some call it the sunken palace." "Take us there." "These words can only mean one thing." "Yerebatan Sarayi, The Sunken Palace." "Once we descend, you'll see exactly what he described." "How do I use it?" "There's a cap in the body of each brick." "The device also has a detonation button." "A call from this cellphone will trigger the explosion." "And that's enough to break the bag?" "The walls are cement all around." "You need both bombs, different angles, as far apart as you can." "Tha will break the bag." "History says that the Black Plague caused misery and death." "But, what they don't tell us, is that it also produced a leaner population, and gave birth to the Renaissance." "We are rushing as fast as we can into the seventh circle of hell." "Suicidally profligate" "Why is suffering later preferable to suffering now?" "What if we embrace it." "And maybe pain can save us." "You're getting this, aren't you?" "I can see that you are." "I mean, I need to know that I'm not alone." "Too many damned people." "He has chosen well." "I need schematics of all conduits in and out of the cistern." "Full isolation and containment protocols." "Physical and chemical barriers along..." "Wait!" "This is the city's water supply?" "Well, not anymore." "We've modernized." "But there is water in there." "Yes, it eventually filters down into the earth." " Why are all these people here?" " It's a tourist attraction." "The acoustics are excellent." "Tonight is the summer solstice concert; very popular." "People come from all over the world to hear it." "He created a bioaerosol." "So it will spread in the air." " Empty the place." " No." "Contain it." "Jam all communications down there." "No messages get in or out." "Got it." "Shall we go in?" "Robert, you don't have to go in there with us." "Yes, I do." ""Blood-red waters of the lagoon that reflects no stars."" "My god, this is a labyrinth!" "How many sections?" "There are dozens, Professor." "Dozens." "Let's find it." "Check every section, every column." "Check them all." "Spread out." "[TURKISH]" "Cut off cellphone service, now!" " No communications." " Yes, sir." "Who is our US contact over here?" "I need some help." " Here, this way." "Medusa." " The Greek spirit, why?" "It belongs to a specific category of Greek spirits:" "Chthonic monsters." " This is it?" " Yes." "The color, the columns; exactly what we saw in the video" "This is the area, so spread out, check the pillars." " I'll take the wall line." " The corners." "Under the walkways." "If you find anything, report to me immediately!" "Light this here, someone." "Seconds matter." "Excuse me." "Excuse me." " What's going on?" " Sir, I need you to step aside." "Step aside!" "Everyone." "TURKISH" "I got it." "It's here." "In this far corner." "Don't." " Hazmat guys aren't set yet." " Can't wait." "Quickly!" "This could break any moment." "Sienna!" "Sienna!" "Will this cube nitrogen purge, without blood access?" " It should." " It better." "Sienna." "Sienna." "There are too many of us down here!" "You won't get to that bag before we do!" "No." "But I can make sure it breaks." "No, don't do this, Sienna, don't." "You'll be murdering innocents." "Yes, people will die." "a lot of them, but the crisis will be averted." "It's what nature demands." "The problem won't just be slowed down, it'll be solved permanently." "Killing billions to save lives." "That's the logic of tyrants!" " For a greater good, humanity..." " Genius just can't come with extra rights!" "No, it comes with the responsibility to take action when others won't!" "You wanna do something?" "Fine!" "Then scream at the top of your lungs." "Let it vent and leave!" "If you love humanity, if you love this planet, you'd do anything to save it." "The greatest sins in human history have been committed in the name of love." "No one will look on this act and call it love." "They'll be alive." "What does it matter what they say about us." "Hey, what are you doing?" "Don't!" "Dont!" "Don't shoot the box!" "Robert, keep clear!" "Are you alright?" "You alright?" "I'm fine." "Where's the box?" "Where's the box?" "It's contained..." "No breach." "The virus is completely contained." "Target is contained!" "TURKISH" "Target is contained, prepare for transport." "She thought she was saving the world." "So did they all." "So, w-what happens, now?" "We take it back to Geneva for taxonomy in isolation." "We have to generate a massive genome sequence first, to get an idea of what we're dealing with." "There' a lot of work to be done." "And you?" "..." "Cambridge?" "Yeah." "Dr. Sinskey?" "Life pulls us apart, again." "Like Dante and Beatrice." "I have something for you." "I picked this up the night you were taken." "I seem to remember it was important to you." "Yes." "Yes, it is." "Do you ever think... about what could happen with you and me?" "I do." "I guess life must have its mysteries, Professor." "Even for us." " Scusi, do you speak English?" " Yes." "Have you seen Marta Alvarez, of the museum staff?" "Marta isn't here just now." "She's had her baby." "She had her baby?" "Oh, that is great news." "Great news!" "Well, you might tell someone that the lights on the Dante mask should be turned on 'cause I can barely see it." "I know, sorry, sir." "The Dante mask is no longer here." "It was stolen." "Really?" "I was just looking at it." "Excuse me." "It's back!" "The mask is back!" "[II]" "Livio, look, the mask!" "A man told me he saw it!" "Someone's returned it!"
