Inferno

It took the Earth's population

100,000 years to reach a billion people.

And then just 100 more

to reach two billion.

And only 50 years to double again.

Four billion people in 1970.

We're nearly at eight billion now.

We are destroying the very means

by which life is sustained.

Every single global ill

that plagues the Earth...

...can be traced back to human

overpopulation.

Why do we demand inaction?

We clear-cut. We dump.

We consume. We destroy.

Half the animal species on Earth

have vanished...

...in the last 40 years.

But still we keep attacking

our own environment.

Does it take a catastrophe to learn

our lesson? To get our attention?

Nothing changes behavior

like pain.

Maybe pain can save us.

There's a switch.

If you throw it...

...half the people on Earth will die.

But if you don't...

...the human race will be extinct

in a hundred years.

What will you do?

Mankind is the cancer

in its own body.

Do you love humanity

enough to save it?

In case they find me,

I left you a path.

The hardest one yet.

Inferno will be at the end.

You are my contingency plan.

You are humanity's final hope.

Make sure Inferno is unleashed.

Seek and find.

Long road...

...but here we are.

Better me than the Americans.

You're going to want to tell me

where it is.

Yes, Mr. Bouchard.

I know I will.

Tell them humanity is the disease.

Inferno is the cure.

Traitors!

Suffer, sinners. Pay for your sins.

Sinners, pay for your sins.

Pay for your sins.

Suffer, sinners. Pay for your sins.

Ruin of souls.

One moment, please.

- What is going... What is happening?

- Dr. Brooks?

Abandon all hope.

All hope.

Sinners, pay for your sins.

Mr. Langdon, I'm Dr. Brooks.

We're gonna do a few checks.

Nothing to worry about.

We'll get rid of this, shall we?

Do you know what day of the week

it is?

Saturday.

It's Monday, 20th of June.

Monday, the 20th of June.

Do you know where we are?

Boston.

Mass General.

And what's the last thing

you can remember?

Uh...

I was on campus.

Everything is blurry. It's out of focus.

Was I in some kind of an accident?

We'll get to that.

Is there someone

we should call for you?

No.

Your wife? Family?

No, no. I'm not married.

Professor Langdon,

you're suffering from a head trauma.

You appear to have

mild retrograde amnesia.

We've done a CT scan.

There's no evidence

of intracranial bleeding.

Which is very reassuring, long-term.

Just try to relax.

Neurologically, you seem to be fine.

Your memory will return

over the next several days.

So we'll wait and watch.

Can you turn off the lights, please?

Of course.

If the head trauma was bad enough

to cause cerebral contusions...

- ...photosensitivity is common.

- Could you please turn off the lights?

What am I doing in Florence?

That's il Duomo.

That's the Palazzo Vecchio, isn't it?

Yes.

Well, how did I get here?

You came to our emergency room

three hours ago with a head wound.

Was I with a woman?

No, a cab driver brought you in.

No wallet, no phone, no ID.

How the heck do you know my name?

We've met.

I saw you lecture at Imperial College

London. We spoke afterwards.

You were very nice to me.

We met?

Sorry, that's not quite fair.

I was 9 at the time.

- Wait, 9 years old?

- I was crazy about puzzles.

And I liked your books.

Maybe not Lost Language of Ideograms.

But the others.

Okay.

I read them all.

What a weird kid.

I was, actually.

- Did I say that out loud?

- You did.

I'm very sorry.

Professor Langdon, the headaches

are going to be intense initially.

And you can also expect nausea,

confusion and dizziness.

That was the front desk.

The police are here to see you.

Me? Why?

Before you talk to them, professor, you

should know all the facts of your case.

Your head wound wasn't caused by an

accident. It was the result of a gunshot.

A bullet grazed the top of your skull,

and you most likely took a bad fall...

...which is what caused

the concussion.

If the bullet had been an inch

to the side, it could've killed you.

Come on, come on.

It's okay. It's okay. Come on.

Taxi!

Get in!

Is he drunk or what?

What was that?

Drive!

Drive! Drive!

- What's going on?

- No idea.

This is gonna hurt.

It's okay. It's okay.

Robert.

Seek and find.

Seek and find.

This is my apartment.

You're still in Florence.

- I'm gonna call the police.

- Wait up.

A policewoman just tried to kill us.

Okay. We'll call the U.S. Consulate

instead if you like.

Just wait. Just give me...

Give me a minute.

Get ahold of things.

Why was someone shooting at you?

I don't know.

Also, when you came into E.R., you were

mumbling something over and over.

Very sorry. Very sorry.

Very, very sorry.

"very Sorry"?

Do you have any idea

why you'd be saying this?

No.

Why was someone shooting at you?

You can keep asking me these questions,

lady, but I'm not gonna know the answers!

My name's Sienna.

Oh, God. I'm sorry.

Hello.

Hi.

Just, you ask a lot of questions.

Yeah, I'm feeling a tad vulnerable

right now.

I'm with someone

other people want to shoot at.

I'm sorry.

Questions are important.

It'll help you recover.

Can I ask you for a cup of, uh...?

Um...

Well, it's brown and it's hot...

...and people drink it in the morning

for energy. Uh...

- Tea.

- Tea. No. The other one.

- Coffee.

- Coffee!

Could I have a cup of coffee?

Sure.

Thank you.

You are very organized.

I like things tidy.

Thank you for helping me

at the hospital.

That was very courageous.

It was just reflexes.

Very sorry.

Very...

...sorry.

I'm having visions.

It's the head trauma.

You won't be able to trust

your own thoughts for a while.

Saw a plague mask.

It's the kind that medieval doctors

wore during the Black Death.

You said something about that.

You were talking in the cab.

It was mostly incoherent...

...but I did hear the word "mask."

anything else?

Bodies.

And blood and fire...

...and hell.

And there's a woman.

Yeah, there's a woman,

and she seemed...

Seek and find.

It all seems so dangerous.

Look, you gotta have somebody

we should call.

I do?

Why?

Was I wearing my watch

when I was brought to the hospital?

No.

- You weren't wearing a watch.

- Oh.

It was important to me.

It was a gift from my parents.

Look, you should go ahead

and clean up.

Your clothes are covered in blood but I

think I've got something that might fit you.

Once you get dressed,

we'll call the police, okay?

Uh,no,no.

The consulate.

Right.

The consulate.

Coffee. Mm.

Hmm. Ignazio?

"What we stole is safely hidden,

as am I. Paradise Twenty-five."

"Now they're after me too."

"ls safely hidden."

"As am I."

What we stole?

Ignazio?

I've left your things in the bathroom.

Try these.

Whose are they?

A friend's.

Does he live here?

- Sometimes.

- Oh.

Sometimes, huh?

You're being rude.

I'm sorry. I'm sorry.

I'm not like this.

You kind of are.

I found this in my old jacket.

It's a bio tube.

They're used to transport

dangerous substances.
