"De bourdin's in the church i must tell them... glory to god in the highest and for all his mercies, we give thanks." "I really shouldn't be doing this." "Father, you must proceed." "I wouldn't allow my child to be born a bastard." "Do you, guy de bourdin, take josephine pontoise to be your wife, to honour..." " and cherish for as long as you live?" " I do." "And do you, josephine pontoise, take guy de bourdin for your husband, to honour and love for the rest of your life?" " I do." " I hereby pronounce you man and wife." "I made this myself, for you, josephine." "If you ever doubt my love, read it... and be reassured, i adore you and this child more than life itself." "Father louis, take her somewhere she will be safe." " Josephine." "You must think of the child." " No." "Come, my child." "What's the meaning of this?" "By what right?" "In the name of the revolution, de bourdin, you and your aristocracy must die." "It's impossible." "Her office hours are completely booked." "Try next week." "As if." "Ancient studies." "Yeah, he's here." "Nicole chamfort." " Nicole chamfort." " Easy, rover." "Nicole, bonjour." "How's everything in france?" "Did professor fo x read my thesis yet?" "Well, i gave it to her last night." "She promised me she'd get to it." "Nigel, please, i really need her help." "I'll do what i can." "I'll think of some way to pay you back." "I've got to go." " I call you later." " Bye." " Pay me back." "Yes." " And Nicole would be?" " A graduate student." " I see." "She's a friend." "I, i am just trying to help her out." "And what kind of help does she need?" "Nicole is researching the history of her ancestral home." "Apparently, it's... about to be transformed into some jet- setter's resort." "Local land baron is... selling out to michael barney." "The mega-developer guy." "Turning a village into a happening resort." "Am i missing something?" "They are families who have lived in this village for hundreds of years, claudia, they'd be displaced." "Listen, honeybun, sydney hasn't got time to go off on another one of her... adventures, you hear me?" "She's been canceling appointments since the... beginning of the semester and i've just finished rescheduling the last one." "She's booked solid." "Sydney stays put, got it?" "Nigel, Nicole stumbled onto something big." "Nigel and i are going to france." "If we find the wedding vows are pre- signed, it'll prove that guy's the... father to josephine's baby, thus making her child rightful heir to the village." "And the current de bourdin can be legally restrained from selling out... to michael barney." "I'm sorry." "Fire me if you want, but i am not pushing back these..." " appointments one more time." " C ome on, claudia, you can do it." "No." "Well, just tell them sydney went out of town." "Butt, out, loverboy." "I can't." "Why not?" "Dean bernson, the new assistant dean, he's after your relic hunting ass." "What are you talking about?" "Her office called to verify all the cancelled classes, the missed... conferences." "He's ambitious, sydney, and dangerous." "You can't go." "Well, thanks for looking out for me, claudia, but i have to try and help..." " these people." "You're clever." " I am?" "Yeah, i'm sure you'll figure out a way to cover my relic hunting butt." "H ave fun, honeybun." " Nigel." " Nicole." "Thank you so much for coming, sydney." "I can't tell you how much..." " this means to me." " No problem." "I've arranged for us to meet father george first thing tomorrow." "He's the priest at the same church guy and josephine were married at 200 years ago." "Well, hopefully, were married." "Yes, i am afraid this is the only place i could get a room." " Looks charming." " And i could only get one room." " One room?" " U m, that's all that was left." " One room." " For the three of us." "I'm sorry." " Not a problem." " Not a problem." " We'll make it work." " We'll make it work." "Nigel, luggage." "Long day." "Long day." "It's, it's eleven o'clock, our time, syd'." " Why don't you take a rest?" " Yeah, i, i might do that." "And you?" "Actually, that sounds like a good idea." "I think i'll take a... jog." " You're not tired?" " No, i mean, she's a regular machine." "Yeah, they call me the terminator." "I think i'll go and change." "I still can't believe you convinced her to help me, Nigel." "Oh, i, i thought it was a worthwhile cause." "I'll never forget this, Nigel." "Before, in, in class, i, i look at you, but i, i never really saw you." "Do you know what i mean?" " Sydney." " Sydney." "What, what happened to you." "Believe it or not, something good." "We're onto something here because... someone definitely doesn't want us here." "Giblert pontoise, beloved son of josephine... orphaned by fate, adopted by the village of st." "Agnes sur loire." "Translation was perfect." "Gilbert's mother josephine died in childbirth." "He was raised by the villagers." "When he died, gilbert left all of his... possessions to the village, as a way of saying thanks." "Well, if he really was a de bourdin heir, then those possessions would... include the entire village." "Father george, would it be possible to look at the church records?" "We're looking for a marriage from 1789." "No, no i am afraid the church archives were lost during the revoloution." "Lost?" "The peasants believed the clergy to be in collusion with the nobles." "They wanted to burn down the church." "Oh, father louis hid the records." " Yes, and other treasures." " Let me guess, they were never found." "That's right, he died before he could tell anyone where he hid them." "Mass is at seven, if you're interested." "I think it's time we paid vincent de bourdin a visit." "Aristocratic families often kept their own records." "But it's not in his interest to help us find the document." "Well, i'm not expecting him to help." "I just want to see if he's hiding anything." " U m... we would like to see..." " yes?" "Mr. De bourdin." "At father george's suggestion." "Very well." "Wait here." "It's nice to know lurch is alive and well." "Yes, yes, i received the sketches and blueprints yesterday." "Tell mr." "Barney... it all looks good." "All right au revoir." "Vincent de bourdin." "You are reporters?" "H istorians, actually." "Oh." "I must tell you i'm late for an appointment in paris." "But if father george suggested we talk, please." "Well, i'll be brief, your proposed development has generated a great deal of interest in your family history." "It's a very rich history." "We are quite proud of it." "Are there any de bourdin family records?" " Certainly." " Would it be possible to see them?" "I'm afraid they are quite old and delicate." "Oh, we're used to handling ancient documents." "Ex cuse me." "Please do not touch that." "This is an original 1855 massante." " 1859." " No, 55." "I'm afraid you're mistaken." "Massante didn't write any seafaring essays... until after the death of his wife." "But i'm sure he makes a mention of... the date somewhere in... oh, my mistake." "I'm sure it was 1855." "There was a story about guy de bourdin." "Guy de bourdin died a bachelor, in a sword fight with anticlerics during the revolution." "I can assure you he was never married." "I never said anything about a marriage." "Who was he supposed to have married?" "Good day." "We appreciate your time." " H ugo." " Ha, ha, ha." "This is the lawyer who is helping us." "You have to be professor fo x." "H ugo." "We are happy you are coming to help us." "The pigs... oh, h ugo's a little protective of our village." "I grew up here." "My family lived five generations here." " Do you know what five is?" " Cinq." "The pigs." "Oh, if we can find documentation that gilbert pontoise is the rightful heir... of guy de bourdin, h ugo will take the necessary legal action." " I see." " Great." "We will be very grateful for whatever you can do to help us to stop the... desecration of our village by the pigs." "I go now." "I love his passion, don't you?" "Dean bernson." "Where's sydney?" "She promised to be at the regents' meeting this morning." "Oh, um, yeah, well, she, she, she really wanted to be there, but she's um sick, really sick with that whole, flu thing that's going around now." "So she's home." "Good, i'll call her there." "No." "Ex cuse me?" "U m, um, well, you, you know how dedicated she is." "She, she came in, but she, she's... oh." "Actually, i was just going to check on her." "Would you, would you mind?" "Thanks." "Syd', how are you doing?" "Just a minute." "Oooh." "Now would not be the best time." "These people are a problem." "We have dealt with problems before." "I don't think there will be too much... trouble taking care of this one." "Are you, are you sure sydney's all right?" " Yeah." " I feel kind of bad." " Don't, don't feel bad." " She's alone, Nigel." "She likes to be alone." "I, i can't help it, Nigel, i feel weird." " Weird?" " U s in here and her by herself." "Nicole, sydney, she's an adventurer." "She's a breed apart from anything... else we know." "When she gets to a new place, she like to explore every nook... and cranny." "My guess is right now she's strolling down some quaint little..." " back alley in complete heaven." " You think so?" "I know so." "Hey, andre." "Pardon." "Hey, sebastian, what is this?" "Come here." "You didn't wash this at all." "Now, look here, there are dirts on here and here." "It's all, clean that one." "It's probably the wine." "The wine, right." "We've got to break into the de bourdin chateau." "See, it was driving me crazy." "We know he's definitely hiding something and it's probably got... something to do with the family archives, but it's a big chateau, right?" " Right." " Then i saw your bottle of wine." " A wine cellar." " A constant environment, well-concealed." "We'll start first thing in the morning." "Well, no." "Vincent de bourdin is in paris right now." "I say we strike while the fire is hot." "She's right and now's the perfect time." "There's only lurch to contend with." "You ready?" "One, two, three." "Why don't you go that way?" "I'll check in here." "Right." " Hello?" " put her on." " Not great timing, claudia." " Now!" " Guess who?" " Claudia?" "I can't play this game anymore." "He's on my case." "Who's on you case?" "Dean bernson." "I lied." "I told him that you were sick and that's why..." " you haven't been around." " Good work." "Keep him on the hook." "I can't anymore." "I told him you were on the other line and he... started getting really threatening and said that he'd hold until you got off." " Claudia, there's no way i can." "Hello dean." " Hello, sydney." "I can hardly hear you." "What's wrong with your voice?" "Aarh..." "laryngitis." "I thought claudia said you had the flu." "I do." "It's getting worse." "As a matter of fact, i'm on my way to the doctor right now." "I'll call you back." "No, wait... let's keep looking." "Sydney?" " This lock." " You've picked hundreds of locks." "See this small hole above the keyhole?" "Anyone tampers with this, it emits... a gas, one that'll probably kill us instantly." "The only way we're going..." " to get into this lock is with a key." " Any thoughts on where it might be?" "My guess?" "It's in paris with vincent de bourdin." "It appears monsieur de bourdin is not in his room." "What's wrong with this one?" "Nothing that an hour won't fix." "It's magnetized and complicated." "Besides, there's an easier way." " Oh, thank god." "Parlez-vous, english?" " A little madame." "I, i went to take a shower, came out to get some ice, that door closed... behind me and locked." "Please, can you great, merci, thank you so much." "Thank you." "Nigel." "Why does this seem more complicated that just picking the lock?" "Let's look for the key, all right?" "Yes?" "It's hugo." "I came by for an update." "How are they doing?" "Sydney and Nigel... and the quest against the pig that will destroy our village and the lives..." " that we all sow?" " H ugo, h ugo, the other guests." " I apologise." "I didn't know." " Oh, they, they, they went to, to paris." " Paris?" " Oh, yes, something about a key." "Sydney?" "Found this under the bed." "This has to be it." "Put this back where you found it." "Let's get out of here." " What are you doing here?" " Taking a shower?" "Much more complicated." " Now what?" " My clothes are gone." "I can't believe he's that dumb." "De bourdin family ledger, the years 1785 to 1789." "Just after the marriage between guy and josephine was supposed to have... taken place, the de bourdins made a huge donation unlike anything else..." " on the ledger to a father louis." " A payoff?" "Maybe, hush money to pretend that the marriage never existed." "What do you think, h ugo?" "H ave we got enough to stop them?" "I don't know, pigs." "U m, father george seems to know a lot about father louis." "Maybe he knows... about the payment." "Well, father louis was not only wise and brave, he was shrewd." "If he took money, it would have been to rebuild the chapel that was damaged in the revolution." "There is so much we do not know." "I see." "The tragedy is he died before the restoration was complete." "Thank god he finished his window." "H is window?" "The story has it that he personally designed it himself." "Inoculis salvatori invenes salutem." "Through the eyes of the savior, restoration will be found." "You said father louis died before he told anyone where he hid the..." " treasure and records." " Well, that is correct." "What are you doing?" "Through the eyes of the savior." "Seems father louis is talking to us from the grave." "What are you talking about?" "I think i know where father louis hid everything." "You know where the document is to save the town?" "I think so." "Then i must try to make the court delay the signing of the contract by the pigs." "H a." "Ancient studies." "He's coming here?" "Yeah, yeah, i'll let him know that you called." "Sydney," "sydney." "It's dean bernson," " sydney?" "What are you doing?" " Yes?" "A tribal dance." "I learned it from a batu witch doctor." "It's my last hope." "This is the worst cold i've ever had." "Achoo!" "Achoo!" "Achoo!" "People must've lived in these caves for centuries." "Here." "A chapel." "Probably been like this since father louis used it to minister to the peasants." "Fresh-cut." "People still come here." "Whatever father louis may have written might have already been found." "Take a look at this." "It's identical to the stained glass window." "What is father louis trying to tell us?" "Maybe there's something behind here." " Syd', i'll do it." " You sure?" "Syd'." "Oooohhh." "Let's split up." "I'll take this way." "Right." "Aah!" "What's wrong?" "Birth certificates." "Baptisms." "A marriage document." "To you, josephine pontoise de bourdin, i shall always be true, i shall always... love and our child, so help me god." "Your beloved husband, guy de bourdin." "Signed and dated by father louis." "We have the proof to stop the development." "It will never see the light of day." "H ugo?" "I'm sorry, i'm weak, i'm broke." "I'm swine." "Oh, no, h ugo, you're smart." "And now, you're rich." "I'm afraid i have to go with h ugo on this one." "Get rid of them and destroy the documents." "You didn't say anything about killing anyone." "I have no option." "I sincerely doubt that i could buy them like i bought you." "Actually, i think you might find we can be quite a bargain." " Shut up." " No." "Killing?" "No." "Oh, now, h ugo, now you are not being so smart." "Your protestations are... making you sound like a liability." "And come to think of it, you have outlived... your usefulness." "Kill him, too." "Hugo, you know what i call these people?" "Pigs!" "Disgusting pigs!" "C ome on, let's get out." " You think they got through?" " No way." "That took a lot of guts." " I was stupid, but not a pig." " No signal." "U h huh, time to find another way out of here." "The only way out of here was through that tunnel." "Maybe." "Maybe not." " Bats are mammals." " They need air." "Water." "Well, it looks like they're headed in another direction." "Why don't you check this way?" "You, you can blame me for this." "I was so carried away, wanting..." " to stop de bourdin." " Nicole, we will get out of here." "How can you be so sure?" "Because i've been in situations like this before, many times." "And because sydney's here." "They flew out of some place up here." "I see a, there's a tunnel of some kind... it's got to be a way out." " Oh great." " Sydney, what's wrong?" "Small problem." "There's more than one tunnel now." "We're trapped." "There's a strange sound." "That's michael barney's car." "We're going to be too late." " They're not going to open it." " You don't think, ah?" "C ouldn't be that stupid." "Amazing." "Stop." "I don't know how much you know about your business partner, mr." "Barney, but he doesn't have the right to sell what isn't his." "This document proves that the village legally belonged to gilbert pontoise... de bourdin, who bequeathed it to the villagers and their descendants." " Be out in a moment." " Right." "Out in a moment." "Out in a moment." "Are you sure sydney won't be coming back?" "Oh, you don't know sydney when it comes to poker." "The only way we'ii... see her before sun-up is if she loses the shirt off her back." "You know what i like best about englishmen, nigel?" "When it comes to... women, they don't take things for granted." "You're, it's, this is good." "It's not right." "H uh?" "I, i can't help thinking about guy and josephine." "H uh?" "Their passion was born out of love." "Ours is, out of lust." "You, you think?" "Oh, let's not cheapen it." "I could come back and, and visit and we could... get to know each other, if you'd like that." " Full house?" " Pair of threes." "Some families have lived in st." "Agnes sillouia for centuries and the... discovery of the artifacts which were hidden in a cave by a local priest... to protect them from the anticlerics during the french revolution was... almost as important as saving the town from the billionaire developer... michael barney's bulldozers." "Oh, i've got to pick up Nicole from the airport." "See you guys later." "Must be the jerry lewis syndrome." "There is no accounting for french taste." "Dean bernson." "You look like you're feeling better." "Much better." "I probably caught it from you." "I'm desperate." "You've got to help me." " Help you?" "How?" " The batu dance." "U m, of course, she'll help you." "I'll just turn on the music." "English subtitles by dvdtec h"
