a celibate monk.

- We do.

- Sounds good.

Good pep talk.

ARE YOU INSANE?

I am 33 years old!

Celibate a monk? Celibate Monk?

Excalibur...

Do it! Do it now!

Just get it over with.

Flynn look, you're..uh...you're overworked.

Maybe you should...maybe you should take

some, you know, take some time off.

You have some vacation pay coming.

But don't get greedy.

Vacation?

Vacation?

Yeah. Okay.

Vacation.

Do you think he'll come back?

He'll come back, the library

has plans for him.

Prince Vlad Dracul.

This is his insignia.

Order of the dragon.

Vlad was prince of Walachia

in the 15th century.

He was noted to his cruelty.

over 40,000 people were

tortured and murdered

during his brief six year reign.

His favorite method of execution

was impailment on a six-foot stake.

Hence, he earned the nickname

Vlad The Impailer.

Was Dracul a vampire, professor?

Vampire? No.

No, I don't think so.

No. No, the bloodlust fed the rumors

from his enemies, and also his name is

Dracula, meaning son of the

dragon - son of the devil.

But now, he's a moldering corpse somewhere

in those mountains, I'm sure...

...a skeleton, like any other.

Well, that's all the time we

have for this evening.

We will see you this time next week.

For now, be young.

I enjoyed lecture, professor.

Very informative.

2000 years Romanian history, all they

want to know about is the vampires.

Dracula always was Best Seller.

Where do I know your face?

My work has attracted a lot

of attention lately.

Kubichek. You recently resigned as

Security Minister from the Russian government.

Not as much fun as your old

days in the KGB, I suppose.

Haven't you heard,

there's no more KGB?

No more Russia, really.

That government is a sham. I'm going

to do something about that. We are

going to do something about that.

What do you need from me?

He wasn't in synagogue. We found him

much further south, in the Carpathians.

You've found the body?

I'd remembered we had two scrolls we had

taken from Nazis that were in turn stolen

from a monastary in France. I went

into old files and found them.

This one is map to Dracul's body.

And this one provides clues to

where the French monks hid this.

No. No. This is a hoax. I've

searched for this my entire life.

It's real.

And you're going to help us find it.

The Judas Chalice.

Flynn, open up, it's Charlene.

What are you doing here?

Well, my combination speed dating /

wine tasting was two streets down.

- How did that go?

- Here.

This is how you spend your free

time, couped up in your apartment?

Yeah, just catching up on some reading.

Yeah. You, of all people,

don't read enough.

I've also discovered this

new online poker game

which is really amazing.

By using binomial

coefficients and probability

theories, I've been able to

correctly guess the cards

73% of the time. I have won

over 25,000 virtual dollars.

I'm virtually proud of you.

You have time off.

Get out of this apartment.

I just...I don't feel like it right now.

Look, these are travel brochures

for vacations I never took.

So, don't do what I did.

Here. You could go to the Grand Canyon.

You know 7 people fall off the

Grand Canyon every year?

- Wine tasting in Sonoma.

- Wine goes bad.

Just get out of here. Go to

Las Vegas. New Orleans.

And what if New Orleans dumps me?

The city of New Orleans will dump you?

I just...I don't want to get my hopes up on

something new and then be disappointed

And then lose. Again.

Look.

I'm sorry about Katie.

But you can't get stuck,

you gotta move on to new things

to a new someone.

And when I lose the next someone?

You're not the only one this job has cost.

You know my marriage broke

up right before we met.

No, I'm not saying my time with

Gus at all was bad or wasted

but sometimes saying goodbye

is the right thing to do

Keep on living.

Follow the dream.

See where it leads ya.

- This old?

- Yeah.

Um...you're uh...

You're not driving, are you?

No, I got the bike.

Follow the dream.

All aboard. All aboard.

And I got my cab right out front and

my cousin Boudreaux, he got a hotel,

and I can give you a cut rate if...

- A little help here.

- Hey, welcome to the Big Easy

Thank you very much.

Laissez les bon temps roulez.

Let the good times roll.

Boy, it is good to have

tourists back in the city.

I look like a tourist?

Mon ami, You look like THE tourist. Come on.

We take my cab.

- You here on business or pleasure?

- Pleasure.

Aw then, you in luck because

pleasure is my business.

Eh, name's Andre.

Number's on the back.

- Whatever you need, look no further

'cause I'm your man

- Aaw, thank you.

You want some good 'ol creole cooking? My

cousin Joe got the best restaurant in the city.

Night life? You can't beat my cousin

Dupree's jazz cafe.

Fishing? My cousin Earl got

the luckiest boat on the river.

- How many cousins do you have?

- How many you need?

So, what is it? Music?

Booze? Food? Women?

Well, I thought I'd check

out a few museums.

Oh. The museum. Sure.

You do realize you're in

New Orleans, right?

This city is so romantic.

You sure it's in here?

Yes, the scroll specifically says that

the monks assigned a hiding place

somewhere in the the old Capucci monastery.

They turn church into nightclub?

Americans.

Ivan, go.

Mind if I join you?

Hi. I'm Flynn.

That performance was...wow.

Can I buy you a drink?

You already have a drink.

This is gonna sound...it's gonna

sound like a bad pickup line...but

you're the woman I've been dreaming about.

You're right.

It does sound like a bad pickup line.

I'm sorry. I'm sorry.

sorry...sorry...sorry

Yeah, I just got out of this relationship

and I came down here to forget about everything

I had this really crazy dream...and...

- Let's go somewhere a little bit more private.

- Uh...yeah, sure.

Are we in a rush?

Come, come.

That is...definitely...

a fire hazard.

Hazard? Hazard? [echoes]

It's an echo chamber.

It's kind of a specialty

of Eastern temples

But a lot of Western monasteries

use the same architectural design

you see, stand...in the right spot

and a single voice is amplified

into an entire chorus.

Wow. A little fast, huh?

Don't you think we should open

some music, or put on some wine

or take a key from your thigh?

It's okay, Librarian.

You can drop the act. You

are very convincing as a

hapless loser, by the way

Librarian?

How did you...

What do you mean, "hapless loser"?

No, no. Go back to the Librarian part.

- You are the Librarian.

- Yes.

But I'm on vacation.

And how do you even...

- I called you in your dreams.

- I knew you called me in my dream.

This marker will tell you where to go next.

Now please hurry there is little

time left, and the Librarian is the

only one who can protect the Chalice.

Chalice? What chalice?

Are you talking about the Holy Grail?

We already have it.

About that big? Made out of wood?

Drop it!

Kill them both

and bring the marker to me!
