"For what it's worth, I want you to understand," "That I don't believe in this medallion" "Or that a centuries- old prophet foresaw modern-day events." "(nigel:) see."

"Well, I can assure you that that is nothing more than a myth." "How can you be so sure?" "Studying the life of michel de nostradame" "Has been my life's work." "This* story of the medallion was propagated" "Solely by a superstitious labourer" "Who was frightened of nostradamus' curse." "(nigel:) so no one else saw it?" "Well, there was a cardinal," "Henri dallier." "He was overseeing the works at the time of the disinterment." "Now, dallier swore blind that there was no medallion." "But he was the only witness." "Well, the cardinal was a holy man." "I think we might concede that his word was worth something." "What happened to dallier?" "He wound up on the wrong side of vatican politics," "Was reassigned to a monastery in langrune- sur-mer," "Spent the last years of his life there." "(sydney:) yeah, watson?" "It's called langrune- sur-mer." "It's a monastery where cardinal dallier was buried." "Yeah, of course." "I'll call you if we find anything." "(nigel:) what did watson have to say?"

"We're interested in a previous resident of the monastery," "A cardinal henri dallier." "Strange coincidence." "Another gentleman was just here" "Asking about cardinal dallier." "Yeah, we ran into him on the way out." "Paul laurier." "I'm the caretaker of the monastery." "Are any of cardinal dallier's artifacts" "Or records still stored here?" "As I told the other gentleman," "One of the great treasures of langrune" "Is cardinal dallier's journal." "It follows the years from 1600 to his death in 1615," "A rare look at 17th century life," "Not to mention that it's also a portrait of a mind driven far" "Beyond the limits of sanity," "Very far beyond." "Could we take a look at the journal?" "Of course." "Well, how mad was dallier?" "Well, shortly after arriving in langrune," "He began to believe he was seeing visions of the future." "These visions which he called his "terrible sight"" "Became more and more acute over his years here." "Did any of these predictions come true?" "No, that's what makes his story so bizarre." "Dallier's visions were all of one thing:" "His own death." "He saw himself dying?" "(paul:) and the years of pain that led up to it." "As the cancer ate away at him," "Each new day's agony more intense than the last." "(paul:) dallier became convinced" "That nostradamus' curse which afflicted him" "In life would follow him in death and that his remains," "Like nostradamus', would be disturbed which terrified him." "Finally, dallier awoke one day and smiled at his attendants," "Told them that everything was fine now," "That he saw no more future for himself." "And that night, he died exactly as he predicted." "The curse of nostradamus." "Is there any record" "Of the disposition Âf dallier's belongings?" "Yes, the last man asked the same question." "He was particularly interested in a medallion" "Dallier might have had." "I'm sure he was." "(paul:) but like pious men of his day," "Dallier gave most of his worldly belongings to the church." "So, no record of the medallion?" "(paul:) he was buried with his bible and little else." "Due to the value of the journal," "We keep it locked away." "Did he ask to see it?" "The other man?" "Yes." "Mr. Laurier, did you leave him alone at any time?" "Well, just for a minute." "He asked for a glass of water." "Then I'm afraid your book's already gone." "My god." "I have the journal." "The rest is only a matter of time." "Castillo has to be after the medallion." "(sydney:) it sure looks that way." "You think he has a copy of the parchment?" "He must have." "Why else after 400 years" "Do we wind up here within an hour" "Of each other both looking for dallier?" "Then he has to be working with someone who had access to it," "But who?" "Yeah, welcome to the joys of need- to-know." "We just have to get to the medallion before he does." "You heard what laurier said about dallier's last entry?" "Yeah, there's no record of any such medallion." "But then there wouldn't be," "Not if dallier's the thief." "Dallier is sealed in the mausoleum." "We haven't enough time to get official permission" "To exhume the body," "Even if we can get permission at all." "Who said anything about getting permission?" "They should move some of these loose rocks away." "What, so grave robbers don't injure themselves?" "Well, apparently, as a grave robber..." "Yes." ""whoever disturbs these bones" "Invites upon himself a terrible curse."" "About this medallion, maybe you should just call watson" "And tell him you've changed your mind." "Nigel, put a shoulder to this," "Help me open it." "Don't tell me you're still afraid of a little curse." "Okay, look at it this way." "Dallier said it wasn't his curse," "It was the curse of the one that cursed him, right?" "Right." "So that would be nostradamus." "Now, nostradamus wants me to find his medallion," "Right?" "Right." "So nostradamus wouldn't put a curse on me." "Right, you're absolutely right." "Of course he didn't say anything about you." "Huh?" "Okay, castillo," "You're one step too late this time." "(gunshot)" "(paul:) I've already called for the police." "Dallier's tomb, mon dieu," "What have you done?" "If his remains have been damaged..." "Open it." "If he's not here, then where is he?" "I have no idea." "{ Advertisement }" "(paul:) where is dallier's journal?" "I don't have it." "Pardon me if I don't trust you." "Lower." "Well, I guess we've solved the mystery" "As to how you found out about the medallion." "What's going on, mademoiselle fox?" "That's what I'm trying to figure out here." "Where did you get this?" "(sydney:) if you're trying to protect them," "Forget about it." "They're playing you the same as they're playing me." "(sydney:) all right, watson," "It's about time you started doling out" "Some of that need- to-know information." "I took out your friend castillo." "(watson:) well, I don't know any castillo." "Oh, come on, he was carrying one of your nifty cell phones." "And the only way he could've found out" "About that medallion was through you." "Professor fox, I assure you this castillo is not working for me." "How else could the assassins have found out" "About the parchment" "Or the existence of the medallion?" "(watson:) I don't see how." "I'm being completely honest with you here." "Have you come any closer to finding the medallion?" "Not yet." "So they've met." "He was your man?" "Yes." "I decided to go with backup in case" "Professor fox didn't find what we were looking for." "How much more is there you're not telling me?" "I run an investigation my own way." "You should understand that." "Oh, come on, you've been in the service too long, watson." "You're getting paranoid." "By the way, I've always been a fan of yours, sydney." "I'm flattered." "Just hand over the journal." "(castillo:) that medallion could be worth a lot of money." "We could work together, split it." "I don't think so." "Why not?" "Because it's wrong." "You know, I could really help you" "Get over your hang-up with morality." "The only help of yours that I want is to hand over that journal." "You stick to your guns..." "I'll give you that..." "Which is why it pains me to do what I have to do." "Nigel." "Am I alive?" "Yeah, and it still looks like you have all your teeth." "Well, that's something to be grateful for." "Yeah, that and the fact that we still have the journal." "Thank you so much for recovering the journal." "Let's just hope it helps us find where dallier hid the medallion." "Here we are," "April 2nd, 1615," "Dallier's final entry." "Instructions for his burial," "The curse he wrote on anyone who disturbs his rest." "Nothing even hinting he was buried anywhere else." "You said he wrote in his journal every day?" "That's right." "Yet there's a gap here, 3 days no entries were made..." "Right before his death." "Yeah, it was assumed dallier was" "Exhausted or racked with pain." "But in his final entry, he writes that" ""the burden of this terrible curse has been lifted." "He has made his peace, a penitent unto god"." "What could have happened in 3 days" "That would have turned him into a man seemingly unafraid?" "The only 3 days unaccounted for" "Since he began writing his journal." "Is there any way of finding out" "What he did during those 3 days?" "I suppose the monastic records might be of some help." "February, March..." "March 26th..." "Here we are." "March 26," "There's a record of a coach being hired" "To carry cardinal dallier to the church of cordier." "It was a 3 day trip." "Back to cordier?" "Why?" "Of course." "Dallier's confessor, cardinal legros, was stationed there." "And perhaps seeing his death as imminent," "Dallier wanted to unburden his soul." "Or maybe to ask legros to prepare a secret grave" "Where dallier and the medallion would lie undisturbed for all time." "Professor fox is on her way back to the church of cordier." "What?" "That's where she believes the medallion is located." "My god." "Perhaps now, you won't be too sceptical, watson." "Do you realize the odds of the medallion" "Being in the same town as the summit?" "As the hound?" "Stanley, listen to me." "I don't know what I believe," "But this has gone far enough." "We cannot have two relic hunters in cordier during the summit." "What if the press gets hold of them?" "What if they interfere in the conference?" "Stanley, if you value your career," "We've got to call them off." "Yes, you're right, of course." "(cell phone ringing)" "Hello?" "(watson:) the situation has become complicated with fox and castillo." "I need you to simplify things." "But how?" "Kill them." "(guard:) I'm sorry, but the road leading to the chateau" "And the church are out of use for the next 24 hours." "I have to get in there." "I have very important business." "Unless you have credentials for the summit," "I'm afraid you're out of luck." "Summit?" "(guard:) you know, earth day, save the whales," "That sort of thing." "Dignitaries from all over the world will be in there, I suppose?" "I'm sorry, I can't comment on that, madame." ""the chase leads to the place it began"." "(nigel:) yes. "ruin will fall to the man of greatness." "The bird will deliver the hunter"." "(nigel:) now we know where." "How do we figure out who or when?" "The medallion." "If the answer's contained in the parchment," "The medallion is the key to unlocking it." "(sydney:) there's got to be a back entrance." "I say we dump the car." "How did I know you were going to say that?" "Castillo." "Here it is." "1615." "No dallier." "Any ceremonies officiated by legros?" "4." "Strange, there's one here recorded" "Without a name only any number." "1600." "(together:) dallier?" "There's a diagram on the crypt." "(door opening)" "There, April 4th, 1615." ""a penitent unto god"." "Same phrase that's in dallier's journal." "Cardinal legros took care of his friend." "What are you two doing here?" "Hello, brother," "We were going to ask you some more questions about dallier." "How did you get those robes..." "I'm calling the police." "{ Advertisement }" "Any minute, there are going to be 50 men with guns outside that door." "We better hurry up and do what we came here to do." "Right." "(nigel:) I don't see any medallion." "(sydney:) neither do I." "Laurier said that dallier's bible" "Was the only earthly possession he was buried with." "What if there's another inside that no one knows about?" "The medallion." "This way." "They're in the crypt, down there." "(police:) come out now." "We'll break down the door." "Now what?" "No visions of the assassin, nothing." "Great." "Here we are stuck in a tomb with legions of men" "With guns outside the door and the bloody thing doesn't work." "(nigel:) look, let's just open up and we'll say," ""the poet made me do it."" "The poet." "What were the exact words that the poem used?" ""the fox shall hunt the 1600" "And its light shall save the hound"." ""light will save the hound"." "(sydney:) it's illuminating certain words and phrases." "A hidden message." "Stop this." "Please, stop this." "There has to be some other way of doing this, please." "Get the counter- insurgency package." "Go." "Go!" ""the british will bow to the hound"." "Bow to the hound." "Bow..." "Bow to the hound." "Who gets bowed to?" "(together:) royalty." "The target's a member of the royal family." "Okay." "The assassin..." "Come on." "(nigel:) "the hound killed by the cobra."" "Cobra, what does that mean?" "I don't know." "Maybe it's a code name." "Maybe watson will know." "(nigel:) they're cutting through." "Okay." "Come on, give me a signal," "Give me a signal." "Okay, I've got a signal." "(cell phone ringing)" "Sydney fox." "Put her on conference." "Professor fox?" "Watson, we've got it." "(watson:) the medallion?" "The target is a member of the british royal family." "The assassin?" "(sydney:) the assassin is someone called the cobra." "We think it's a code name." "Watson, you are" "The cobra." "(sydney:) you know, watson," "We're stuck in a vault" "With a bunch of french security guys outside." "Can you call them off?" "Don't worry, professor fox." "Just hand yourselves over to the authorities." "I'll take care of everything." "(police:) go!" "(secretary:) sir?" "I need to get to the peace conference, asap." "Yes, sir." "Look, whatever member of the royal family" "Is here is going to be assassinated." "And your proof is a 16th century curse?" "It's a prophecy, actually." "As I've said, you have my cell phone." "Contact mi5, speak to agent watson." "Well, I am mi5." "We've just checked with london." "They say they know nothing about you." "Well, maybe he's top security clearance." "Anyway, the man we were working with is named agent watson." "Ru the session ends in about an hour." "Wel get to the bottom of things then." "It'll be too late by then." "What does he mean he doesn't know anything about us?" "Oh, working on a need-to-know basis." "The left hand doesn't know what the right hand is doing." "At least we've still got the medallion." "All we have to do is figure a way out of here," "Get someone to listen to us." "Looks like the conference is taking place" "On the east side of the building." "Uh huh." "(guard:) checkpoint 2, this is 873," "I have a visual on the vehicle, over." "I'm afraid I'm going to have to ask to see some identification." "Okay, everything seems to be in order." "Thank you." "The conference is just breaking up." "Watson." "We're saved." "Right." "(nigel:) watson, thank god you're here." "Sorry it took so long." "French red tape is even more complicated than our own." "That name that we got you, did it pan out?" "No, no, but our security people think" "They've got everything under control." "(watson:) in the meantime, I'll transport you back to paris personally." "In the bird." "What?" "Whirly-bird." "Nickname for helicopters," "Like the one that delivered you here." ""ruin will fall on a man of greatness" "And a bird will deliver the hunter"." "That's the poem that you gave us, right?" "(nigel:) what are you saying?" "He's the cobra?" "It all makes sense, doesn't it?" "(sydney:) you didn't put us on this to stop the assassination plot." "All you wanted was the medallion." "I really didn't believe, you know." "But I told the truth when I said I don't take any chances." "(nigel:) wait a minute," "We were being flown out of here a minute ago." "How did we get back to this?" "What is it about?" "Politics?" "Politics." "I've dabbled in politics in my time" "And I've chased the money." "Let me tell you, the money wins every time." "Aren't you just..." "Hey." "Aren't you just a little afraid of the medallion?" "It may have predicted the future," "But I'm not sure I'm ready to believe in curses." "Who said anything about the curse?" "Device," "Put it down." "No, arrest him." "He's trying to kill the prince." "Agent watson." "She attacked me." "No, I found this on him." "It's the device that he was going to use to" "Detonate a bomb to kill the prince."

"You know what, nigel," "I think this is definitely" "A need-to-know situation." "I guess someone was looking out for us." "Hey, so now we're even." "I scooped you," "You scooped me." "You must admit we worked pretty well together," "Finding the medallion and saving the prince." "Actually, castillo," "Nigel and I found the medallion and we saved the prince." "Details." "I still think we made good partners." "What, like in jakarta" "Or like at that monastery in langrune-sur-mer?" "Professor fox." "Deja vu." "We've turned agent watson over to the authorities." "In light of the murder of his superior," "They were very eager to get him into custody." "His version of nostradamus' curse is just beginning." "Speaking of the prophets," "The..." "Ummm..." "Oh..." "Right." "It's gone." "What?" "The medallion, it's gone." "(castillo:) a likely story." "Don't look at me." "It was in here when I left cordier." "Where could it be?" "Subtitle by:" "Kiasuseven"
