"First, promise me that whatever I say, you'll keep to yourself." " I promise, Rabbi." " I promise, Rabbi Loew." "Emperor Rudolf II hid one of his most prized treasures in Prague." "Only the emperor and I know where it is hidden." "Drink some water, Rabbi." "You must rest." "No, this is important." "The emperor entrusted me to divide our secret between two confidants." "And I have chosen you, Yitzhak, doyen of our community, and you, Kepler, were chosen by the emperor." "Each of you will be given one half of this yad." "Only this will reveal the treasure again." "However, separately, each half is useless to anyone who does not read these lines." "Remember that everything that exceeds our knowledge comes from the Creator." "He will determine the time when we will be called to face the evil again." "It will happen thus in four hundred years." "Until then protect this secret." "Yet write a book that will carry our message through the years and pass it on when the time comes." "Call the book "The Way of Light"." "Determination of our army to fight the Nazi barbarians..." "Rosenberg, open the door!" "This is the Gestapo!" "Open up!" "Hands up!" "Halt!" "Over there!" " Who is it?" " It's me, Uncle Rosenberg." " Where are your parents?" " I'm here alone." "Esther, give this to your father." "I knew the cell phone ate your brain, but it's this bad?" " I don't comment on your brain." " I'm in a position to do it." "I am responsible for you." "Good morning, Assistant Professor." "What a rain, huh?" "Good morning." "You got yourself a helper?" "It's Andrew, my son asked me to watch him." "He went diving." " Hi, Andrew." " Hi." "Hi." "I don't wanna spend the entire day at lectures again." " Bear with it a bit longer." " I'm stuck here on my vacation." " I want to experience something." " Like what?" " Some adventure." " Science is the best adventure." "During Emperor Rudolf II's reign Prague became known as a city of artists, alchemists, visionaries, charlatans, seekers after truth and of mysteries." "It was a town where Rabbi Loew made a homunculus, the Golem..." " Hi." " Hi." " Playing games?" " No!" " So what are you doing?" " Texting my friends at camp." "Thank you for your attention." "I'll see you next week." " Hello." " Good afternoon, Doctor." " I haven't seen you for a while." " During the summer vacation" "I lecture on history to seniors so I don't have much time." " It's the Third Age University." " Next time I'm gonna enrol." " Anything new?" " Have a look around." "Good book, eh?" "Last week someone found it in an attic." " Can I look at it?" " Go ahead." "I'd say it's from the 17th century, don't you think?" "But it can't have any real value." "You're mistaken." "Via Lucis..." " It means The Way of Light..." " And what does the Maharal mean?" " There is a legend about it." " What legend?" "Peter, please go clean up in back, ok?" "About Emperor Rudolf's treasure and Rabbi Loew - the Maharal." " Look at those glowing eyes." " What is it?" "It's the Golem." "The legend says that it guards the treasure." "But the Golem looks totally different." "It's something terrifying, but not necessarily a clay monster." " It sounds like a fairy tale." " Maybe." "But in the war archives there's a preserved letter from K.H. Frank to Himmler himself." "He claims to have the Maharal near at hand." "If you lend me the book, I'll tell you more." "I'm afraid I can't." "I'm sorry." "I haven't paid for it yet." "It's on consignment." "Thank you." "Goodbye, ladies." "Let's go." "Goodbye." "Hello." "It's me, Mr. Schwarz, the antiquarian." "I believe I have something for you." "The Maharal..." "Knights' Hall at Zvíkov Castle," "M the Old New Synagogue," "R, L the book page 50." "Christina, what did you say the Maharal was?" "Well, that's what the Jews call Rabbi Loew." "It's a Hebrew acronym of Moreinu ha-Rav, Our Teacher the Rabbi," " and Loew means lion." " Look what I have." " Where did you get it?" " It was in that book." "Let's go." "Careful with that." "Grandpa, have you ever found a real treasure?" " Are you doubting me?" " I just thought that you need a sonar, detectors and computers to do that." "The greatest discoveries didn't require any high technology." "A shovel, a trowel, and above all a brain - those are all the tools an archaeologist needs." "Come in." "I just wanted to ask if everything is all right." "Mrs. Hartlová, I always feel at home here." "Not in America." "Here is my home, with my late mother." " Just ring if you need anything." " Thank you, good night." "It doesn't make any sense." "I can't solve it without the book." " What a funny back scratcher!" " Please, put it back." " What is it?" "Some kind of charm?" " It's a yad, a Torah pointer." "Jews use it to read the Torah." "It's at least 500 years old." " Where did you get it?" " I got it last summer." "I was teaching at Third Age University and this strange thing happened to me..." "Good morning, Assistant Professor." " Do you remember me?" " Good morning." "I come to your lectures." "Thanks for a making it a great summer." "Thank you." "I'd like to give you something in remembrance." "Here." "It's no use to me anymore and you'll know what to do with it." "I can't accept it." "No, thank you, really." "Just take it." "Maybe it will be useful to you one day." "I don't even know her name." "That thing really is from Rudolf's era." "It might be part of a yad." "Something's clearly missing." "I use it during my lectures and at conferences." "Tomorrow I'll go back to the antiquarian and get the book." " Even if I have to steal it." " Finally some straight talk." "Now for the weather forecast." "Cloudy tomorrow, with rain in the northern part of Bohemia." "We expect heavy rain in places." "The rivers might overflow." "Temperatures between 18-20 degrees C, moderate north winds." "That's all for now." "We'll be back at midnight." "How long will you stay, Mr. Imko?" "I'm not sure yet." "Two or three days, maybe longer." " Have a nice stay!" " One more thing." "I need to put something in a safe deposit box." " No problem." " Thank you." " Hello." " Hello." "Is anybody here?" "Alice, stay where you are." "Oh my God." "What's going on here, Grandpa?" "This doesn't look good." "Go in there, David, but be discreet." "Are you sure nothing but the book is missing?" "I'm not sure yet but that's it at first glance." " They say someone was murdered." " Murdered?" " Let's come back some other time." " What about the book?" " Not him." " Who is he?" "He is a suspicious character." "He keeps stalking me." " What is he doing here?" " I'm gonna find out." "No, David, wait!" "If somebody came to rob this place why wouldn't he take the money too?" "The book is worth much more than a couple thousand crowns." "Let's wait for the autopsy results." "Steady rain in the northern part of Bohemia, occasional storms." "Seems like the summer isn't coming for a few more days." "Hello." "What a surprise." "That's my colleague, Dr. Knapp." "Our expert." "We know each other." "That's Dr. Konečná." "The faculty nicknamed her Circe, the beautiful yet hard princess." "Dr. Konečná believes that the antiquarian" " was killed over some book." " Via Lucis!" " The Maharal?" "You believe myths?" " I saw it with my own eyes." "I've seen at least five copies." "All of them fakes." "What about the picture?" "Tell him about the notes." " The young lady must be..." " My sister!" "I see." "What other secrets have you discovered, Mss." "Circes?" "Nothing." "Alice got a little confused." "I hope we'll get along better than before." " I hope we won't meet again." " I can't promise you that." "If you remember something, like those pictures, let me know." "Bye." "By the way, your sister is very cute." "Why were you so mean?" "He's cute." "Did you go out with him?" " Come on, let's go." " Who broke up with whom?" " Let's go home." " He left you, huh?" " Move it." "Circe, that's from the Odyssey, right?" "Here you are, Grandpa!" "Do you know how Prague got its name, according to legend?" "In Czech the name means a doorsill or a gate." "Looking into his car wasn't such a good idea." "His name is Martin Šimko." "He is Slovak but studied here." "Great, but I could have told you that in front of the book store." "He's in "At the Peacock", a hotel in the Lesser Town." "He has a room on the first floor, prefers a continental breakfast, drinks only mineral water and has rented a safe deposit box." " How did you find out all this?" " I told the receptionist he broke up with my sister and I hoped to get them back together." "Next time you'll check everything with me, okay?" "The doorsill is actually a gate between us and the astral world." "Between reality and the supernatural." " Hi." " Hi." "I've never seen you here before." "The legend says that the remains of the clay Golem are hidden in the attic of the Old New Synagogue." "And that Rabbi Loew didn't allow anyone except himself to go up there." " My name is Andrew." " Are you a family?" " No, Andrew's parents are diving freaks." " I see." " So this is our hang-out place." " Let's get out of here." "Coincidentally I have remembered another legend." "Rudolf II was quite suspicious." "He worried about conspiracies." "With Rabbi Loew's help he hid a treasure somewhere underground." "From then on the treasure has been guarded by the Golem." "My mom and dad are in the Andes excavating sites." "Me and my grandpa went treasure hunting in Tunisia." " Really?" " Wow!" "Grandpa says that there are many treasures in the world waiting to be discovered." "Do you think somebody can kill over a book?" "I actually suspect one guy." "He is Slovak." "He came on the day the book was stolen." "You lectured well on the Golem." "Sounded like real science." " Thank you." "It is science." " Of course." "Aaron Cohen II." "Second like Emperor Rudolf whose era I'm studying." "As an amateur." "That's very nice, Mr. Cohen, but I'm sorry I'm in a hurry." "Too bad." "I thought we'd have a quiet talk somewhere." "I'm really in a hurry now, I'm sorry." "By the way, your sister went for a walk with my grandson." "Don't worry, he'll watch her." "I'm also interested in that book you saw at Mr. Schwarz's store." "I loved a woman like you, but Arthur killed her." " You mean she was murdered?" " It was a hurricane in Arizona." "It took her and the trailer." "She was gone." "A very sad story." "This is the only memory of her I have left." "Mr. Cohen, you promised to tell me something about the book." "Excuse me, kiddo." " Watch out!" "You know who it was?" " No." " That Slovak dude I mentioned." " He looks like a strangler." "That's all you know about her?" "Only that she teaches history at the University." "What are you after, Mr. Cohen?" "I sense that we're very close to Rudolf's treasure." " Is this about the money?" " It's always about money." "Maybe not." "Others might find something else more important." " Like fame?" " I have to call my sister." " You said you were rich." " What is wealth?" "Feeling at ease about not having to go to work." "A fear that life will slip between your fingers." " Christina, do you have a minute?" " I'm giving a lecture now." "I'll walk with you." " See, this is it." " Zvíkov Castle. 100 k." "From here." " We're going, right?" " I don't know." "I only have a hundred crowns." "I have a debit card." "Let's go." "How can I help you?" "I'd like to buy this guide book and withdraw four hundred crowns." " We have the autopsy results." " And?" " It was a heart attack." "I'm telling you, he was killed over that book." " Ever heard of hidden poisons?" " You've read too many mysteries." " And nothing is missing." " Nothing?" "I held that book." "There were 150 thousand crowns in the box." "Maybe he sold it." "I guess you solved it." "So what do you want from me?" "There is this odd thing that keeps bugging me." " No prints on the box." " So what?" "None at all." "Not even the antiquarian's, you see?" " Hello." " Hi." " Alice is not coming today?" " She and her pal are at a castle." "Traitors!" "They went to the Zvejkov?" "No, to Prague Castle." "They'll be back this afternoon." "I don't get it." "I guess this MHRL here is the Maharal." "L page 50, and then this strange looking pin." "What could it mean?" "They are going south." "Don't worry, boss." "I'll call." "The crown of the Czech kings was kept in the tower for centuries and after Karlstein Castle was built, it was moved there." "When you're outside, notice the symbols on the granite stones." "Historians have argued about their meaning for centuries." "There is evidence of unusual phenomena near the tower, strange sounds and visitor's uneasy feelings..." "If you'd follow me, please." "We'll go from the Knights' Hall to the next room which used to be a dining room..." " Did you notice anything?" " Let's go." "This picture here." "See those letters?" "Look, the Maharal." "What can it be?" "Since the end of the 1700s the castle was a homestead and grain was stored in the palace." "What was that?" "What are you doing here?" "Yeah, some picture." "Okay, I get it." " What's up with that camera?" " What camera?" "Stop fooling me." "Don't you know you can't take photos here?" "Come on, show me what you took a picture of!" " Why d'you take a photo of that?" " I like it." "Erase it, okay?" "Do it or you'll be fined." " I'll wait for you here." " Parents leave them unsupervised." "The local forecast is next." "Due to continuous rain the rivers arr rising." "Meteorologists say up to 100 ml." "Of rain will fall tonight." "Among the areas at the most risk is the pond quay at Poustevny." "People's lives aren't at risk but property damage is great." " Where did David learn Czech?" " Here in Prague." "My son and his wife moved to live with me in Arizona" " only ten years ago." " I see." "You've never mentioned that injury of yours, Mr. Cohen." " I mean if it's not a secret." " Oh, it's a sad story." "My late wife and I were in Indonesia looking for the Little King George ship wreck." "And that day the tsunami came." "Did you hear about it?" "It's some kind of flood, isn't it?" "A wave tall as the Empire State Building took my wife forever." "Mein Gott!" "I got away with two screws in my knee." " Life is not fair." " No, it isn't." " Oh, the young gentleman is back." " Hello." "Where have you been wandering, detectives?" " We were at a castle." " I know that." "But not here in town, at Zvíkov." "It's a really weird place." "Is anybody there?" "Is anybody there?" "Damn, Rascal." "You scared me." "You think that was nice?" "I have it." "The castle caretaker almost caught me." "I hope he's gone now." "Okay, hurry up." "We'll meet at the ruin." "Here it is, boss." "It's a detector?" "Nothing, huh?" "I could have left the frame there." " They're coming to pick us up." " You are out of your mind." " Why agree to it without me?" " This is really important!" "I'm not dressed to go on some field trip." "I packed everything this morning." "It's in Mr. Cohen's car." "You can't be serious!" "Oh, I promised Andrew to take him with us." " Let's stop by the janitor's." " That's out of the question." "Alice and David deserve praise." "I think they deserve something completely different." "If it's true that the carving leads to the treasure then I will pay for Alice's studies at Harvard." "I think we have company." " It's the strangler again." " The Slovak!" " He's after us." "Christina, I'd like you to meet the Slovak Indiana Jones." "Mr. Cohen, I thought you were only interested in excavations." "I think it's worth it to follow the way of light, don't you?" "So the antiquarian called you too?" "How much did you promise him for it, Mr. Cohen?" " I'm sorry, we're in a hurry." " You're in a hurry." "I understand." "CLOSED FOR TECHNICAL REASONS" "I wonder what's behind those technical reasons." " Are you coming, Christina?" " Of course." " You'll be here when I come back." " Oh yeah, Jeez." " What will you do, Mr. Cohen?" " We'll think of something." "Look..." " What are you doing here?" " And what are you doing here?" "I live here." " Why is the castle closed today?" " What's up with the cops here?" " A picture was stolen." " What picture?" "The one you photographed." "How do you know?" "That it was stolen or that you took a picture of it?" " What's that river down there?" " It's a dam." " I see." "Mr. Cohen wants to contribute to renovate your castle." "I can confirm that he is a very generous man." "The police closed it all off." "It's all kind of odd." "Odd?" "They could have killed me over some stupid carving." "Yet they left Pieter Breughel the Elder's early work there." "Stupid carving." "That's interesting." "I can at least show you the reproduction of the Breughel." "Last year we put out this book we are very proud of." "Here, our Breughel." "Yes, it is very strange that they only took that carving." "Notice how masterfully he works with light." "It's a masterpiece." "Mad Meg." "You can buy the book." "We will definitely buy it." "What about the carving?" "We will be open tomorrow and I'll give you a personal tour." "You can stay overnight." "Will you take it?" "Tomorrow." "Mr. Jí a..." "Hello." "Our chief asks whether we could borrow the book with the picture of that lost carving." "It's for the report." "But don't destroy it or nobody's gonna buy it." "How much is it?" "It's not cheap, it's on glossy paper." "My wife can sell you one." "When you sit here all year round then you know every stone here." "But I have never seen a boat like this before." "It was anchored on that side." "Who knows what they wanted." "I'm not saying it's not strange but the way I look at it we have one missing book here that nobody reported as stolen and one worthless carving that is gone from that wall over there." "How can the deceased report that something was stolen?" "And how can the police look for something that has no owner?" " Who else bought the book?" " The American bought two copies and then some Slovak and that man from the Prague police." "See the Breughel is a real prize." "It's good nothing happened to it." "He said that a strange boat was anchored across the water." "There is no bridge here." "We need to borrow a boat." " But there's no time today." " What are we gonna do then?" "We'll spend the night here." "The caretaker would put us up." "We have to take Andrew back." "I don't want to go back." "I want to stay here with you." "It will be harder to convince Christina." "Let's go." "Last time I slept in the castle I was still in school." "You know what's strange?" "Imko followed us to the castle but he didn't show up." "What kind of game is he playing with us?" " I think he's holding a book..." " And..." "That thing he has in his other hand is some kind of a stick." "It is a magic wand." " This is the house in the window." " It might be a mirror." " We're going to bed." " Already?" "It's so unlike you." "Usually I can't make you go to bed." "Tomorrow will be a hard day." "So we should turn the light off or Andrew won't fall asleep." "Nighty bitey." "G'night." "The Slovak keeps me up." "I saw the boat too." "There's a spooky house there." " Where do you live?" " At the castle." "Get in." " Sure you don't wanna go with us?" " No, I have to go home." "See you." "This must be the house." "Watch my back." " I'm gonna check it out." " Shouldn't I go too?" "Whistle if something crops up." " Look..." " Who is it?" " The strangler!" " Holy Moley." "He's going inside." " Can you whistle?" "Not really." "What's up?" " I'll go help him." " Wait, don't be stupid!" " Why are you here, Mr. Cohen?" " That's what I wanna know." " How did you get here?" " On a rowboat." "Let me tow you back with my speedboat." " What is this, Grandpa?" " A frame." "Good thing Christina doesn't know." "She would give you a hard time." "In the morning I'll tell her that I have to go back to Prague." "Let's go." "It's starting to rain." "This is how your adventures end." " Are you sure he's your grandpa?" " You're stupid." "What's up?" "We can't trust anyone." "You have to watch him 24/7." "Why didn't he take the frame to the police?" "Why did he go to the castle?" "Why would he stay overnight?" "Because if he said no, it would look suspicious." "David!" "Alice!" "It's ready." "I made some marble cake." "If you don't want to watch it, it's okay." "I thought you might be a little bored when it's raining outside." "We'll be right there." "She wants to show us some old slides." "How Prague looked when she was our age." "Not having the heart to say no I said we'd wait for you." "Old slides?" "That's so nice of you." "This is Golden Lane." "It looks the same." "This could be the Lesser Town." "The square right after the war." "And now Prague Castle." "Just a second." "Oh my, I put it in upside down." "I'm sorry." " Leave it in for a minute." " Really?" "Okay." " I got it!" " What?" " We learned about it in school." "Do you Americans know what the camera obscura is?" "This is where the light refracts and this is a lens so the house is projected here." "If you direct it correctly then it should show where the treasure is." " What about the letters?" " Those are probably instructions." "David, I got an idea." "That note from the book store..." "Hello." " Good evening, this is Mr. Imko." " Oh, that's you." " I have to see you." " Why?" "I have something that will convince you that we are a team." " You have the book?" " You'll see." "So tomorrow at noon by the pendulum." " Did you knock, Mrs. Hartlová?" " No, I didn't." "But come in, Mr. Cohen." "This is a special report." "What a disaster." "Meteorologists warn about likely strong winds added to the rain." "Let's see the places destroyed by the flood." "For me, you are the main suspect, Mr. Imko." "In reality, you are much more beautiful than on the Internet." "You are wasting your energy." "You wanted to show me something." "I wanted to confess something, Christina." "I'm not such an amateur in history." " Wow!" " We're colleagues." "I studied at Heidelberg where also I'm teaching now." "Excuse me..." "You are..." "the Mr. Imko..." "Slovak." "Last year you received the Ben Popescu Award, is that right?" " Can I get under your umbrella?" " Of course." " What exactly was the award for?" " Shall we get a drink somewhere?" "Oh yeah, the earthquake." "My late wife and I were in Turkey." "We were looking for the Golden Crescent and then it happened..." "7.2 on the Richter scale." "You know how strong that is?" "My poor wife didn't get out of the hotel in time and I..." "A half kilo of metal screws they put into me." "I'm sorry." "What is it you brought, Mr. Cohen?" "I almost forgot." "The kids found this frame by the castle." "It might have something to do with the carving." "Maybe he bought it from the antiquarian." " Right." " Don't you see, it's my grandpa." "Maybe it's not hereditary." "I have a crazy sister." "This is how the camera works." "They painted pictures using it." "Then everything was upside down." " Beautiful..." " And you have the other half." "You want to buy it from me?" "It's not for sale." "It's not about that." "You know how I got interested in history?" "You fell in love with your history teacher." "That too." "But even as a little boy I believed that one day" " I would resolve a big mystery." " Where did you get it?" "It was a coincidence, or maybe fate." "Of course I knew about the Maharal mystery from school." "I travelled in the Middle East and I came across it at some remote market." "It's a sign." "We must join them." "Where is your part?" " On my shelf." " Shall we go?" "I have a lecture now." "Let's meet in half an hour at school." "See, those are the letters from the picture." "So M is the house, H, R we don't know and L page 50." "The Maharal page 50..." "Let's go!" " I have to wait for my sister." " I'm going ahead." "Join me." " What about me?" " It's getting dangerous." "We'll tell you what we found, okay?" " But..." " That's an order!" "Kiddo, huh?" "You're studying physics?" "What's wrong with you?" "Are you in love?" "Stupid." " Christina." " I'm coming, Martin." " See you after the lecture." " I'm coming, Martin." " Stupid." "Let's go inside." "It looks like it's gonna rain." "Incredible." "They really belong together." "The magic wand." "Aside from the yad we will need the book and the synagogue's picture." "See, it's on the wall here." " But why is it upside down?" " The Maharal explains it." "My sister took some notes and a picture of some soldier from the book." " You idiot." " Look what I have." " Where did you get it?" " Let's get out of here." "It's not here." "Did you take the yad that was here?" " What?" " A pointer with a magnifier." "No, I didn't see it." " Shocking, huh?" " Why would she side with him?" " It's a... gang." " Oh please." "They're trying to trick us." "All grown ups are weird." "My own sister?" "!" "She was always crazy, but this?" "What if she's not my sister?" "Do we look alike?" " Look..." " That's Veronique." "What is she doing in Prague?" "It's that thing from our picture, huh?" "Well, we gotta go now, see you." "Let's go, Alice." "Yes, Mr. Cohen." "We're coming to see you." "He is in front of the book store." "Do you know how to get there?" "Of course." "What's going on here?" "Evacuation of citizens can be ordered by law." "A minute ago the sun came out but let's not get fooled by it." "We are standing right in front of the flood barriers." "They were placed in many critical spots around Prague and should protect Prague citizens from high waters." "Forty four, forty eight, fifty." "Here it is." "It looks like something from the "Young Scientist" magazine." "The camera obscura." "Here's the lens, and it's projected here." "In this house you put it in one of these holes." "We already saw the house somewhere." "Right." "It's the house from the Zvíkov carving." "So it's the magician's house." "Here you are." "I came to clean up." "I see you have a new friend." " What's your name?" " Andrew." "Hi, Andrew." "I'm the landlady here." "What is it you're playing with?" "I see you are studying." "That's good." "Let me see." "Where did you get it?" "Show it to me!" "That's my grandpa's book." "We counted over 300 of them just in Prague itself." "But they occur outside the capital city as well." "They could be the boundary stones but it's odd that all of them are the same." "What do you think they are, Professor?" "Who knows, but they're estimated to be almost 500 years old." "People believed that they protected the city." "According to sources they have something to do with the Golem." "But there is only one Golem, no?" "What is the Golem, Mr. Cohen?" "Is it a robot?" "Or is it some kind of energy?" "Who knows?" "A higher intelligence?" "The one controlling its essence can treat it like a Play-Doh and simply create the shape he needs." "We were occupied by Germans." "I don't remember everything but one day my parents left me at home alone and someone came." "It's me, Esther, Uncle Rosenberg." "Listen to me carefully." "The Germans have been looking for this book for years." "It's more valuable than you can imagine." "It's important not to let it be taken by anyone illegitimate." "One more thing, Esther." "Tell your dad I know it's the third hole on the right." " Don't forget." "The third hole." " On the right." "Third hole on the right." "I keep hearing the urgency in his voice." "I never saw him again." "We were taken to Theresienstadt." "My parents didn't survive the war." " Do you know this house?" " Of course I do." "It's the Old New Synagogue." "We used to go there often." "What about these tiny windows?" "Are they still there?" "Definitely, the synagogue has been the same for centuries." "Third hole on the right." "Abracadabra." "I came straight from the police station." "David went to the university." "He's meeting yours sister there." " Those kids!" " Let's go." "Thank you, Professor." "It looks totally the same, even the windows." "What is it?" "Where did you get it?" "It's you, the shop assistant." "What are you doing here?" "I'm selling old postcards to tourists." " Where did you get it?" " Well, it's..." "We're taking it to the police." " G'bye." " Bye." "That's my grandpa." " Look..." " Wow!" " You climb the ladder to go up?" " I guess so." " It's my sister!" " Don't answer it!" "My sister's telling weird things about this attic to the old folks." " Like what?" " Just weird." "About ghosts and stuff?" "One, two, the third one on the right." "That's it." "Hartlová Apartments." " It's Mr. Cohen." "Is David there?" " No, he isn't." "He and his friends went to the synagogue." "Okay, and now the screen." "Put the lens there." "The other part goes here." " Now turn the lights off." " Can you help me?" "Wow, it works." " Ugh." "The treasure's in a sewer." " In a sewer?" "Why not in a sewer?" "Let's go." "Which way?" "This way." "Okay, boss, I understand." "You can't talk." "They got into the sewer but not me." "I don't have a light." "It ends here." "We have to slog." " What are we looking for anyway?" " I don't know." " We're not looking for treasure?" " But where?" " Let's go back." " There's a rat." " Why are you screaming?" " Something moved." " Did we come this way?" " I think that way." "We've come through here three times already." "I'm scared." "There's no signal here." "Damn kids, what are you doing here?" "Put it away." "You're going in the opposite direction." "Let's go." "Come on." "It got a little complicated here but I'll come as soon as I finish." "I wanted to help them and also to know where they got the book." "Let's go to the station." "Hold on." "You are complete nitwits." " So that's it." " I keep wondering, Mr. Cohen, if I should give you a summons or just arrest you." "You want to arrest me for Mr. Schwarz's heart attack?" "If you do so I will immediately wake up the American ambassador." " It was a robbery, Mr. Cohen." " I didn't steal anything." "I'm not a thief." "I came to the store and Mr. Schwarz was on the ground." "Cloudy tomorrow, with rain in the northern part of Bohemia." "We expect heavy rain in places." "The rivers might overflow." "Temperatures between 18-20 degrees C, moderate north winds." "That's all for now." "We'll be back at midnight." "I paid the exact amount we agreed to over the phone." "Twice as much as you offered, Mr. Imko." "It's your duty to report it." "You found a dead man." "I'm an American citizen." "I don't know all your laws." "How would I buy the book?" "You surprised me." "What a stupid mistake." "A big shot professional like you leaving a finger print?" "Here it is, boss." " I told him I wouldn't take it." " Him?" " Go ahead." "Help yourself." " The Maharal had a sense of humour when he called the book The Way of Light." "Because the light must pass through here." "I got an idea." "Whether I'm right or not..." "Let's try our luck in the synagogue's attic." "Don't go anywhere." "The entire city is closed." "Meteorologists talk about a hundred-year flood but it could very well be a thousand-year flood, even the biggest flood in Prague's history." "Let me help you." "Just tell me which one of them it is." "Attention!" "Attention!" "The area is closed." "It's a state of emergency." "Leave the area immediately and follow the instructions of the crisis tram and police..." "It's important how far and at what angle the ray refracts." "This is what the Maharal writes about the angle in his book:" "The ray falls as a full moon is reflected on a calm lake." "What does it mean?" "It symbolizes the inner calm needed for higher inspiration but what's more important the hand can point this way too." "It looks like a door." "Not bad." "It's better than a sewer." "Let's go." "Well?" "It doesn't matter since he undercut me with the frame." " Let's get the tools in the car." " It's not your business anymore." " I have to arrest you all." " Are you crazy?" " That's him." " What?" "Everybody down into the basement." "You, kid, take the handcuffs." "Find out where he is." "Try to locate his car." " Yes, sir." " Lieutenant." " What?" " Those two from Zvíkov are back." " Who is back?" "Mr. Jí a." "Dr. Knapp summoned them again." "I don't have time now." "I'll question him on the way." "You bastard!" " You won't get away with it." " Shut up, old man and enjoy it." "Good luck." "What's the Slovak Indiana Jones going to do in this situation?" "I admire your sense of humour." "Any idea what to do?" "Of course." "David, push my stick closer." "Hold it." " Oh yeah, the old school." " Andrew, come here." "It won't open." "Maybe it's rusty or locked." "Look..." "We'll drown here like rats." "Help!" "Help!" "There's no point." "The entire neighbourhood has been evacuated." " So do something, damn it." " Okay, but what?" "Let's try to break it." "There must be a way to turn the water off." "This can't be turned off." "It's a flood." "Go, Andrew!" " Are you an alien?" " Me?" "Why?" " What are you doing here?" " What did you find?" "I need a saw or a key for the handcuffs." "Wait, I'll bring you the key." "I have to confess something." "I can't swim anyway, Mr. Imko." "I'm sorry, Mr. Cohen." " Let's talk informally." " Shouldn't the older one offer?" "At this moment it doesn't matter, does it?" " I'm Aaron." " Martin." "I wonder how many times I get to call you Aaron." "I wouldn't try to count." "Damn, all this shit!" "If I at least drowned in the Danube." " Andrew?" "!" " I got the key for the handcuffs." " Where did you get it, you wiz?" " You'd be surprised." "So, how does it look here?" "I see we came just in time." "For all inhabitants there arr emergency accommodations." "In the coming hours, all evacuated areas may be flooded." " Do you know how to drive?" " I think so." "She is the only one who thinks that." "When you change you will get the kids and the castle caretaker and get out of here." "Okay?" "What do you take it for?" "For my stomach." "It's too much for me to take now, you know." "Careful, you will need it." "Last time he called my wife." "This time he called me." "Did you hear it, Aaron?" "That's unbelievable." "Knapp stole that carving and then summoned the castle people" " to find out more." " What police work." "That would never happen in America." "Hey, do you have a permit to carry that?" "I have a Colombian firearm permit for this toy." "I'll pretend I didn't hear or see it." "Shall we go?" "The rest of you will get out of here." "Is it hard to get a firearm permit in Colombia?" "I have no idea." "I got mine in Bangkok." "I'll go first." "It looks like he lost it and could be shooting." " So you better watch out." " Look, what is it?" "That could be a civilian bunker." "Pine torches." "They could be useful." "I'm sorry about that little scam Mr. Cohen used at the castle." "What scam?" "Oh, nothing..." "The accommodation was great." "By the way, your daughter is very cute." "What's her name?" " Veronique." " Where is she now anyway?" "They were just here..." "Attention!" "Alice!" "Wait here." "The evacuated areas might be flooded." "Now we are probably right under the Jewish cemetery." "Look..." " I think we got it." " What is it?" "Well, nobody really knows." "Excuse me, my equipment is little bit more modern." "Guys..." "Stupid kids." "What are you doing here?" "Didn't we tell you to leave?" "I wish you were mine." "It's called the way of light." "But it's pitch black here." "This wasn't the deal we had, David." "Nothing here." "I think we can go on." "Gentlemen, considering what's going on outside" "I think we'll have to postpone it." "Knapp is probably gone too." "Was that you, Andrew?" "No." "Let's go." "Hold it." "Wow!" "It looks like an underground cemetery." "The tunnel seems to end here." "This is supposed to be the treasure?" "So remember this place." "We'll return after the flood, okay?" "Where is Veronique?" " It looks like..." "...the philosophers' stone." "It'll happen thus in 400 years." "Everything will be flooded out." "It will be the children who will fight the world's evil." "The Golem will recognize them." "Nobody move or I'll shoot her!" "Put it down and go to the others!" "Step back!" "Come on!" "Climb up, quick!" "Come on, hurry up!" "Stones!" "Cover your head." "Come on, hurry up!" "Hurry up, we are outside." "What's up with my glasses?" "I can see without them." "My frostbite from Alaska is better now too." "You said it happened in Arizona where your wife died." "I thought it was in Turkey." "You were married to someone besides grandma at the ranch?" "It doesn't matter." "Important is that the arthritis is gone." "My stomach stopped bothering me too." "What a blast, huh?" "Since then I haven't smoked a single cigarette." "And I didn't even have to use those nicotine patches." "So it seems the philosophers' stone is good for nearsightedness, arthritis and all kinds of bad habits." "That's so funny." "You know the kind of discovery we were near?" " What is it?" " Nothing." "You stole that in that book store too?" "No, it's a good luck charm David gave me." " David, I see." " Are you jealous?" "Maybe Martin will give you something too." "Let's go outside." " Help yourself, Mrs. Jíšová." " I'd like to discuss it with you." "The water will recede soon and we can get some speleologists..." " That was cool." " Great vacation." "You know what I think?" "That the Golem saved us from Knapp." "It'd be so cool to have a Golem." "If I had one I'd wish for a camel." "The Golem is not a Genie to fulfil your wishes." "What if he was?" "What would you wish for?" " Me?" "I'd want a super computer." " I'd want a monkey." " What about you, Alice?" " I don't know." " Come on, say it." " I really don't know." " Come on!" "I'd like us to have a sea." "It'd be so cool to have a Golem."
