The Librarian: The Curse of the Judas Chalice Page #4

---

Security Minister of the new Russian

Government until six months ago

when you resigned under the

charges that you were...agressive.

Democracy not working for you, Sergei?

Chaos not working for me. Starvation.

Well, one man can't fix it all.

One man leading army of

unkillable soldiers can.

Who could stand against

an army led by Dracul?

- Manned by a hundred, a thousand undead.

- He's here.

You raided the coffin?

We are going to bring

order back to Russia.

We are going to rebuild Russia

to her former glory and beyond.

Wow. I actually never sat this

close to a psychopath before.

Kill him.

You can't kill me.

That coin has writing on

it over 500 years old.

You meat heads won't

be able to decipher it.

I, on the other hand,

have phD's in cryptology

and every language

you can imagine.

Face it, Kubichek.

You need me.

You don't put much faith

in my organizational abilities

Professor Amil Lazlo?

- You've heard of him?

- Of course. You're a genius.

Thank you.

I have read every book you've written

on Eastern European folklore.

I especially the synth...

So...if I have Professor Lazlo?

Uh, yes. In that case, killing

me is totally an option.

I'm sorry, son, I had no

choice. They forced me.

Make it interesting. Have your...

Didn't we bring more men?

George disappeared, then Peter, then

two others. Drinking, maybe?

So hard to find good help.

Look, I get this

from Voodoo shop.

Datura, made from a poisonous weed known

to cause disorientation and hallucination.

Used in Voodoo ceremonies.

You always talk in, like, whole

paragraphs. You ever notice that?

Open up.

Get the car.

Drug kicks in, we'll drive him into the

river. Make it look like an accident.

Okay, Mr. Librarian. What kind of fancy

books will get you out of this one?

Houdini and wrote books, too.

You?

Flynn Carsen. I got about two minutes

before I'm in a full blown hallucination.

So we gotta get you outta here.

- I just deciphered the markings...

- There's no time for tha--

- You did?

- Yes.

What language is it this

time? Is it French?

Langue d'oc. It makes reference

to the Vigenre cipher. Here.

- Find the numerical transposition...

- Yes.

- M-E-A-L-I...

- How many combinations?

- Ten charactors...

- Factor of 10.

Divided by four which is

the repeated characters

907,200

It's Latin. Illuminate.

[mumbles]

- What? Illuminate what?

- Wait a minute.

The tarnish on this coin. Silver

oxidizes, it doesn't corrode like this.

I was so preoccupied with the writing,

I never examined the coin itself.

- It's glass.

- Glass.

This isn't a coin.

This is a lens.

Morgus Bay.

That's where we need to go.

God, you make one

hell of a historian!

Flynn? Flynn?

I'm out of time. We

gotta get you going.

Come on. Come on.

No, no.

My legs are too slow.

You go. I will...

- I'm good.

- Good luck.

- Please help me. People are chasing me.

- Need a chaser, Bro? PARTY! YEAH!

- Okay, going away.

- Get up Flynn.

You're not going to think yourself

out of this one, book boy.

Where did she come from?

- Simone?

- I leave you alone for one day...

Now please, GO, before

there is trouble.

- Nicolai, shoot this tramp.

- With pleasure.

Shoot her!

- Flynn!

- Simone!

- Missed.

- Didn't.

Simone?

Don't die.

Don't die because of me.

- Hello?

- Hi.

Oh good, you're awake.

I made you some tea.

But I saw you get shot.

You had no pulse,

you were dead.

Yeah, sure, I was already dead.

What do you mean dead?

Like undead? Like a vampire?

Afraid so. Tea?

Oh! That is very hurtful!

Well, excuse me! I just woke

up in a vampire's lair!

You didn't...you didn't...

I don't kill for food.

See?

Blood.

- Oh God.

- Check for holes.

Kidding. You're so uptight.

That's early Baroque,

about 300 years old.

In fact, a lot of this stuff is.

Yes, momentoes I have

collected over the years.

And...how old are you?

Americans...to ask a

lady such a question.

I'm 403 years old.

- 400?

- Oui.

- And three?

- Yes.

Well, I've dated older

women before, but

dead is new for me.

Yeah, so I thought I knew a lot about

history because I've studied it, but you

you have actually lived it.

- How did you ...

- I was born in Paris in 1603.

It was a very exciting century, there

was Galileo, Shakespeare, Rembrant,

a thrilling time to be alive.

And in Paris, I met Francoise.

He was a teacher at the university.

We love and we

were soon engaged.

I always loved music ever

since I was a little girl.

And by the age of 25 I was an

opera singer at the Royal Court.

It was the best time

of my life until...

I died on June 12, 1628.

A vampire passed his curse onto

me, condemning my soul to

walk the night forever.

Never to rest.

And Francoise?

I never saw him again.

My destiny took my

love away from me.

He did love books very much.

I stayed on in Paris

for another 200 years

trying to find the

vampire and kill him.

But he vanished. I learned

about the Judas Chalice and how

it could resurrect dead vamipires.

With such a power, I knew the

undead could overrun the Earth.

You wanted to protect it.

That's why I followed the

trail to the monastery.

But I couldn't decipher

the writing on the pendant.

So I decided to stay on in New

Orleans to protect at least

this part of the puzzle.

Until I saw some man studying

the monastery and I knew that

trouble was coming.

That's why you appeared in my dream.

- You were asking for help.

- From the Librarian.

How do you know about the library?

See, that's just...

Oh, all vampires know about the library.

You Librarians have been around

almost as long as we have.

This is from before Crusades.

It depicts the library's

eternal battle against evil.

More to your job than just

saving old relics, huh Flynn?

The symbol on the shield,

that's the Tree of Knowledge.

Who's the knight?

He is known as the Scholar.

He is the greatest Librarian of them all.

Legend has it, he built the library

and is keeper of all of its secrets.

He is known as Iahuda.

That's Hebrew. It's the Hebrew name for...

The Hebrew name for Judson.

The sunrise is in one hour.

I can't go out during the day.

Simone, I need you to come with

me. I know where the Chalice is.

Morgus Bay, about a half

a day's drive from here.

It's too far, I will never

survive the trip in the sunlight.

I know somebody.

Hey, hey, Mr. professor man.

This is my cousin Earl.

You disappeared on me

after the big show.

Sorry, Andre, I met some

friends. This is the luckiest

boat in New Orleans, huh?

Well, I never said it was the prettiest.

Simone, Andre.

Andre, Simone.

Cousin Earl.

If that's the freinds

you met, I forgive you.

You're starting to get that

New Orleans spirit, mon ami.

How far to Morgus Bay?

We should get there around

nightfall. But why Morgus? I

mean, it ain't nothing but swamp...

I'm going in the

cabin now, Andre.

We don't want to be

disturbed until nightfall.

Okay. I get it.

- Okay?

- I get it.
