The Broken Key Page #4

Synopsis: In a near future, due to the effects of an uncompromising law on the eco-sustainability of supports, paper has become a rare item, a luxury possession. Printing is now a crime. Libraries have turned into inaccessible museums. Everything is floating, in a stream of data running in the ether, reaching every tablets and smartphones thanks to a fast net created and universally controlled by the "Big Z": Zimurgh Corporation. On the background of this realistic vision of the future, our sci-fiction/thriller movie is developing, in the suggestion created by a future vision of Turin, still a fascinating, esoteric and mysterious town. A series of murders followed by many clues will lead the protagonist, a British scholar of ancient Italian origins - new Adam and revived Arthur King - to walk on the path traced, so many centuries before, by Dante Alighieri and by the painter Hieronymus Bosch.

I hope I can help you.

Please.

My dear "friend", Nora...

told me you are interested in making

a TV show about Rosebud.

Yes, we are preparing a series about

the magic towns of Piedmont.

I've been studying the same

subject for many years.

It looks like the whole area of Piedmont

has the shape of a huge town...

with precise mathematical proportions.

An open-sky sanctuary.

A heritage from the Egyptian models.

Far more than this,

every architectural model...

is in perfect harmony with

the human proportions.

I've been searching for perfection

through the body my whole life.

I'm especially interested in

the female shape...

As my master Tesla,

I consider the female body

as the symbol of the primordial energy.

The human body as an energy

transmitter...

Wait a minute. I want to show you

something.

Don't worry about

the Shuster Law, my friends...

Now, have a close look: The Tesla's

Tower has the same structure of the Zed.

Here the Zed is inserted in the Ankh

key...

Tesla was prevented from ending his

work...

so bad.

Let's go back to Rosebud, now...

That's the reason of your visit, right?

Yes.

This area has been breeding

many Master Masons,

skillful about alchemical

and hermetic symbols.

Nicolao, the famous stone-cutter,

was working in the nearby

Abbey of St. Michael.

The Abbey of St. Michael...

The Abbey of St. Michael...

is one of the Gates of Heaven.

As Rosebud:
A sacred place.

My ancestor was a very influent man...

in this hall, many important figures

of the XIX century

have gathered from all over Europe.

Look at the Starry Sky...

It's the last relic of those bright

times.

Sorry to bother you, Count.

It's for you.

Thank you.

Excuse me.

Hello?

Thank you.

Sorry, a friends in trouble.

But we can talk again tomorrow, right?

Ehi, who are you?

This is the Police, are you Arthur Adams?

Yeah.

Sorry, but Mr. Moonlight has been killed.

What?

How did happen?

We can't give you information,

you've to come here immediately.

Of course, no informations.

We don't have a clue,

we've only an ancient painting.

What, a painting?

Yeah, I've to come here tomorrow.

No, I'm coming right now, immediately.

There is no reason for this murder.

You know Agent, when I was in Italy

for my researches.

A similar murder happened

there, same patterns...

I think they're connected.

You can ask for information from

the agent Taron Irons in Turin...

Just a second.

York's agent here, Detective McGuire.

Are you the agent Iron?

Yes, it's me.

Do you know Mr. Adams?

Yes, I know him, he's a very good guy.

I guarantee for him.

He's not involved in this murder.

You were right.

The Italian agent witnessed for you...

But, please, remain at our disposal.

Professor Ludwig Adrian Moonlight

has made you his universal heir.

He left a small part of

his fortune to the Foundation.

He must have loved you very much.

He was like a father to me...

My mentor.

This was included in Moonlight's...

last will.

I leave you here.

Arthur...

you were like a son to me.

So I decided to make you

my heir in every sense.

I trust you will find the Way

to follow your destiny...

and continue our search without me.

Remember."

the true nature of things is always hidden.

This is your journey.

Be strong!

Be yourself...

and be goddamn genius!

Good Luck, my boy.

...and then the notary gave me

a postal package,

a confidential box... and a letter.

Inside, there was the missing scroll.

And the letter?

It was totally in the Professor's style.

He wrote me about a task I've to

accomplish.

We've to go back to the Egyptian Museum.

Everything started over there.

There must be something I'm missing.

We've to dig inside the paper archives.

No, it's crazy.

It's a major violation

of the Shuster's law.

We'll end up in jail!

No one can enter in the archives, okay?

It's too dangerous.

Nothing is impossible.

A dear friend of mine

is working in the archives.

What are you doing?

Go back to your bed!

No time to rest. I'm fine.

Esther, it's nice to see you.

It's a long time. Can we go?

Yeah.

It's done.

Esther will let us get inside the

archives.

But you have to be very careful.

Just the two of them...

You stay here with me.

There are so many things

you have to tell me.

Okay, then.

Pay attention,

and look at every detail

that can help us.

Thank you.

So...

I go this way, you can go the other.

Okay.

Sarah, are you okay?

Sarah, where are you?

Are you all right?

Are you okay?

Why didn't you answer me?

I heard you...

but I didn't want to scream.

I was far from you,

trying to find the light switch.

It switched off automatically.

Are you okay?

I feel better now. What did you find?

I just had a look.

Inside this folder there's a

document mentioning our scroll...

and the followers of Horus

connected with the seven deadly sins.

They mention the god Thot

and strange links with

Dante, Egypt and Bosch.

The author of the document is a woman:

Sandra Tule.

Here, she talks about something

kept in the Abbey of St. Michael.

We've to show this document

immediately to James,

maybe he can find other connections.

Okay.

We've found something.

St. Michael... St. Michael Abbey.

My friends... Welcome to Paradise.

I'm father Hugo.

I assume, you're here to see the Abbey?

Yes.

As you can see,

Paradise is difficult to reach!

Your friend seems like is not in

condition for such a difficult walk.

Perhaps I can get in the car with you,

we go to the main gate

and then we can walk from there.

Thank you.

Lovely.

...sooner or later this road

is going to kill me.

If not that, the beer

and the sandwiches will...

Anyway,

it's better to go with a full stomach,

yes?

And surely, the air of this sacred place

will have me go as a happy man!

Thank you for you company.

Enjoy the Abbey.

Thank you.

I'm going to the dining hall,

after such a rigorous walk,

one should've something of substance.

Enjoy-

It was carved by Nicolao.

My friends are still here.

Excellent!

How about I take you for

a behind-the-scenes tour?

And how about you?

Are you coming?

Yes, I'm coming...

Maybe that man wants to come, too...

What man?

No, he's not there anymore.

...as I was saying before,

the Abbey is dedicated

to the Archangel Michael...

Here, he's crushing the tempting devil.

As you know...

The temptations of Satan

can be intense...

and only the Saints can resist them.

One temptation I can't resist is:

Gluttony.

Why everybody always blames the

gluttons?

Dante puts them in Hell.

Bosch paints them eating like pigs.

Everybody has to eat, right?

Ah, I have a real treasure for you.

It's my favourite... come!

The chapel down below

was built in the 5th Century.

Incredible, ah!?

Come up here, I get something

very special for you. Please.

The Susa Valley.

Arthur!

Don't worry, he must be inside the

Abbey,

we'll find him later.

He can't get lost...

there's only one way down.
