The Broken Key Page #3

A guy came to see me,

and he was asking me a lot of

questions...

about the drawings.

He was mentioning some kind of plot...

You see!

So, I think he was nuts... mad.

A crazy man.

So, I send him off

I told him to go away.

But I remember his name:

Frank Mam.

As a poet Virgil surname.

Thank you very much, Taron.

Okay, see you later.

He found this guy, Frank Mara.

He's been busted a few times

for violence and intimidation.

He's now living in an underground

area of the town... slums.

A shelter for thieves and invisible

people.

So, let's go.

Look!

People call it the Gate of Hell...

a mysterious place.

Attention, don't come in.

It's dangerous for you!

We're looking for a man called

Frank Maro.

Can you help us?

What do you want? Go away!

Come on!

No.

He will be good to you

if you don't challenge him...

He's Gengis...

I know where to find

the man you are looking for...

I can help you.

But, he's the one who set the price.

I know where you can find him...

I can bring you to him...

It will be expensive though...

How much?

Let's say a 50 post-credits pass

gallery.

A 30 post-credits pass is enough!

Okay, let's go.

The pass, first!

Arthur.

Arthur, let's go.

Sure.

Follow your heart...

The light of your most brilliant star...

will lead you to the roots...

to the Truth...

Here we are, it's him.

Who the hell are you?

You've come here to kill me, right?

I know nothing,

I've seen nothing.

Get away... leave me alone!

Don't worry, we don't mean to hurt you.

Don't be scared, we only want

informations.

What?

James, are you okay?

Get him out of here.

Take him away!

I'll be after you.

Let's go away!

They're looking for me.

I'm coming...

I'm coming with you...

Wait for me, please.

I'm coming with you!

You must help us...

You must tell us everything you

know about Bosch's paintings OK'?

We will protect you, don't be scared.

You don't know

who these guys are.

You can't imagine.

They can reach everywhere...

Nothing can stop them.

Nobody can!

They... they... Who are "they"?

Frank, please, listen to me.

You must help us, now!

Please...

It's too dangerous...

For me, for you Miss...

and for everybody.

Believe me!

It's for your own good.

For everybody's good.

Who knows about this story?

There's a writer...

He's living in a small village

in the mountains...

He's a Count...

Rosebud...

He's been living

and working there all his life.

The name, damn it!

His name is Francis Rosebud.

I know nothing else about him.

He's the heir of the Count

who built the village.

I hope you're not trying to trick us!

I'm not cheating.

I know very little about all this.

The other ones know...

I have nothing to do with it.

Nothing! Nothing!

Why did they want to hide the truth?

I don't know.

I don't know!

They're very dangerous people.

But Rosebud...

I know...

He wanted to talk.

Yes, he has written things that...

That's enough for me.

I don't know anything else.

Leave me alone...

Leave me alone!

That's all we can get from this man...

using this white-glove treatment, at

least

Look... Look what they say about the

Count.

He's a scientist, a mathematician...

He's discovered some links

between the works of Nicolas Tesla

and a mysterious structure

hidden inside the Pyramid of Cheops,

the Zed!

He's been expelled by the University

on a charge of molesting.

Here, at an essay's presentation,

he's with a model...

They look very intimate.

Can we trace her down?

No... no she's not a model...

She's an agent of a

para-governmental organization

of the big "Z".

It's an escort service for the

oligarchs.

They're called "Priss"

"High pleasure models".

I've questioned her for

an ongoing investigation,

but she's not involved.

Well, I can contact the girl...

Then I can arrange a meeting

if you want...

We're making a TV show

about magic towns

and we need a presenter.

We've saw you in an article

about the Count of Rosebud.

Our show is starting precisely over

there.

A strange coincidence, isn't it?

Yes, I love coincidences...

They attract me and scare me

all the same.

Do you personally know the Count?

We'd like to talk

to him and meet him...

to gather informations

for our TV show.

The Count is an excellent customer,

very gentle and kind.

Yesterday, I was with him.

Sometimes he invites me to his place.

A really ghostly place.

If you go there...

you could have your arm healed.

There is a mysterious woman, Althea,

living next to the village church.

She's a real healer and you

can ask her for information, too...

Shes spent her entire life

in the village.

Where she was born.

I was waiting for you...

I've a constant pain in my arm.

It's there, since I was badly wounded...

Let me see...

Yes...

Yes, I can do something...

Wait for me here.

How do you heal the sick people

who come to see you?

All my ancestors had a gift

and were healers...

My mother before me,

her mother before her...

and so on,

from immemorial time...

the touch of the Masca

is a gift, not a job...

It's a mission.

My ancestors got

their "Art" directly from Thoth,

the ancient god of Medicine.

Can I ask you something?

Of course, my dear, tell me.

We've come here to find a man:

The Count Rosebud.

I guessed it, of course.

Can you help us?

Francis was born here.

He bears the same name of his ancestor,

the nobleman who built the village.

But he's very different.

He has wasted all his money

in some unclear business.

He lives with his sister,

a strange woman...

She never comes to the village,

she spends all her time in the cemetery.

Her son died

immediately after birth,

no chance to put him

in the Moratorium, too young.

A fatherless son.

Francis never comes to the village

either.

They live in the castle above the

village.

It's her, I guess.

Let's go and talk to her.

Sorry to bother you, Madam.

We're looking for the Countess Rosebud.

Can you help us?

Young Countess...

The young Countess...

Yes.

Yes, it's me. What do you want?

We're looking for your brother,

the Count Francis.

And what do you want from him?

Miss Nora Segni told us

we could find him here.

We wanted to talk to him

about the origins of Rosebud.

He's in town for some business.

He will be back tonight.

You can find him at the village inn.

He spends his dinner time there,

with his friends.

I have to go now.

I will tell him about your visit.

Don't worry!

I'm glad you come with me.

My arm... ls not aching anymore...

Did you know, everywhere we look,

there his some traces of Egypt.

Maybe, we are on the right track...

or maybe...

It's just your imagination.

Yeah.

The Countess has just called...

The Count is inviting you to his castle.

They live in the castle.

Follow those alleys,

pass under... our magic door...

reach the fountain of live...

go straight... and there you are.

Please, come in.

Thank you.

My brother is waiting for you.

Welcome... thank you for accepting

my suddenly invitation.
