The Broken Key Page #2

Your references are not enough.

You understand?

You could try talking to

the former director,

Professor Fahrid Al Kamar...

he knew the content of the museum

piece by piece.

He spent his life among papers and

papers.

I know he lives in a small

village not far from here.

Good morning,

I'm looking for Professor Al Kamar.

Do you know him?

I am a researcher.

The Egyptian Museum of Turin sent me

here.

You are a colleague, then...

You go out of the shop and

turn right into the small alley.

After fifty meters you'll find an arch.

The professor's house gate is right

there.

Thank you, sir.

You're not going to find him

there though now.

He spends all his time

inside a cave in the woods.

It's not far from here.

No.

It's impossible...

No, father wake up.

Wake up! Father!

No, do not leave me alone...

Let me stay here... Father!

Father!

No!

Father!

I want to see my father!

Father!

Father!

Rest in peace, my friend.

Ehi!

Who are you?

Don't worry, Professor. I'm Arthur

Adams.

I am an archeologist from York.

What do you want?

I'm Professor Moonlight's assistant.

You should know him.

Moonlight?

Professor Al Kamar?

Yes...

so they say.

I'm doing some researches

on an ancient document.

You are the only one who can help me.

Which document?

The missing fragment

of the Turin Canon!

It's not so easy.

Not here... not now.

Meet me at San Lorenzo's church.

At sunset.

You must go now, boy.

Go!

Ah, you're here, already!

What's going on?

Listen to me, boy.

This is very important:

The place where we met is the tomb

of an ancient Egyptian queen.

These walls...

gives us clues for understanding

the scroll you're looking for.

Look over there,

do you see those roses?

The corn, Hermes... even the Pelican,

too.

These stones tell us that this place

was once an ancient Egyptian site,

linked to the cult of Horus.

Yes... but what about the scroll?

Another time.

Professor Al Kamar?

It's Arthur Adams,

It's midnight! Our meeting...

Professor?

Who did this?

The women knows why.

Go find her!

Your car.

Wait.

See this!

I took it away from the Museum...

to keep it safe...

It is...

the fragment you are looking for.

The Egyptian queen came here

to found the new the city of the Sun,

for her father Akhenaton.

This's the new sacred land

of the Egyptians...

Put me down.

Yes.

Be careful!

Shemsu Hor...

Who are you?

SALIGIA.

I hope you well.

It's the first murder

I have seen in this area.

The killer has no identity.

Unrecognizable.

No badge,

and the fingerprints have

been removed with acid.

It's terrible!

We'll need a couple of hours

for the retina recognition.

And the people at Moratorium...

I hope they will get something

out of that brain. It's a mess.

What are you doing in this area?

I am a University assistant,

specialized in Egyptology.

Well, then you were a colleague

of the director?

You could say so, just met him

today for the first time.

Please, do not leave the area

for the time being.

I will probably need to talk to you

again.

I have a room at the Sun Hotel.

You can find me there.

Destination set.

Can I come in... please... can I?

It's you... again?

What do you want from me?

I don't want to see you anymore!

I'm sorry... I just wanted to...

Oh... I'm sorry, I thought you were...

No, don't worry, it's my fault...

I'm not used to get inside

peoples houses like this, trust me.

I got your address from professor

Al Kamar.

Are you Miss Sarah Eve?

Yes, it's me...

ls the professor all right?

I haven't seen him for a long time.

I'm sorry the Professor

was killed last night.

How did it happen?

I was there... I tried to help him...

too late...

I'm sorry. Do you want me

to pass by later?

Yes, thank you...

Maybe it's better if I stay alone.

Wait!

There's something else

you wanted to tell me, right?

Well... ah...

The professor left me a last message...

Or so I believe...

He told me to contact you

in case something happened to him.

I'm Arthur...

Arthur Adams,

I am an archaeological researcher...

I came here to get some informations

on an ancient scroll.

The Professor was the only one

who could help me...

I think the murder is connected to

this ancient document.

Did you know anything about his

researches?

No...

I just gave him some artistic

counseling...

I am a painter.

I've been working on the restoration

of some sarcophagi.

But...

Why was he killed?

This was lying on the Professor's face.

I think it's a copy...

but it looks very ancient, indeed.

If it's a copy...

a master might have done it.

I'll give you the contact of

a top forensic consultant.

He's a good friend of mine.

Tell him I'm sending you.

I don't know anybody in this town.

Could you please come with me?

I would be glad... plus is your friend.

I am too busy working...

I really can't... I'm sorry.

My office could pay you well...

I'm so happy to see you...

But you never call...

This is Professor Arthur Adams.

Arthur is fine.

A mistake of my youth.

Here's a small present for you...

A real mystery.

What do you think it is?

Just a moment.

Do you think is gonna find connections?

Connections seem invisible,

but they are just hidden behind the

surface.

You simply scratch...

and they burst out, like fireworks.

Only those who have eyes to see...

can spot them... of course.

You know...

he's a strange guy...

a man of science...

He knows a lot about religion,

Kabala, even metaphysics.

He's a pure researcher...

with no prejudices.

He puts no limit to knowledge...

No...

It's not just a replica,

not a recent one, at least...

It must be dating back to the XVI

century.

The brushstrokes...

they seem...

Hieronymus Bosch's!

Let's call a friend of mine...

An enlightened mind, a real expert.

Just a moment.

What did I tell you?

He's just a bit weird.

It's me, how are you doing?

I need to talk to you.

...I would like to end my speech

with this book,

In it... you'll find the analysis of

the relationships between two groups.

One had been:
The Faithful of Love,

which Dante was undoubtedly a member.

The other had been:

The Brotherhood of the Free Spirit,

which no doubt Bosch was an attendant.

Both groups were aware

of the Egyptian philosophy

and the ideas of the Followers of Horus.

Curiously, both men were interested

in the seven deadly sins...

It been said that both men

were particularly sparing.

I'm myself...

guilty of that vice.

This text is...

extremely expensive.

In conclusion,

I like to read you something...

I think you may understand.

This tercet from the Paradise,

where Dante talks about the mystical

Rose.

"The Love, beneath Whose Warmth

this flower has grown in eternal

peace, flamed once again in your womb.

Listen Tully...

we've found a piece of canvas,

it looks like Bosch's, it's Pride...

I've heard that story as a rumor,

a legend.

Bosch created a series of drawings,

before settling them into one.
