The Librarian: The Curse of the Judas Chalice Page #5

---

Laissez les bon temps roulez, baby.

Gas me up, Cous'.

Now Morgus is a mile inside the swamp.

Now the water is too shallow, you

gonna have to paddle the rest from here.

You sure about this?

Leave the light on for us.

Are you okay?

- I'm fine. Are you okay?

- Yes. I'm fine.

Okay.

It's a warning.

Somebody doesn't want

us to go any farther.

Oh...is that what I think it is?

Cover your eyes.

It's the Pride. That's Lafitte's ship.

See, Jean Lafitte was a

19th century pirate, he was...

Flynn...

We must be near the Barataria

swamp. But he used to use this

maze of swamps as his headquarters

Flynn, I know, I was here twice when

it was docked in New Orleans. Parties.

- So you knew the pirate Lafitte?

- Mmm-hmm.

Lightweight when it came to rum.

Not so tough, passed

out in his puffy shirt.

Well, I guess you knew him well.

- If I remember correctly, these stairs lead to...

- Look out!

Trip wire.

Would you have survived that?

Head cut off? As bad

as sunlight. I go POOF.

Stake through the heart?

Only wood from an

Aspen tree will work.

- Hey!

- Just asking.

- This way?

- That leads to Jean's quarters.

- You mean his bedroom, don't you?

- Now, now. Don't be jealous.

Well, well, well.

The man himself,

buried with his treasure.

I guess you can take it with you.

That's just...nasty.

Combination lock.

It'll be opened with

the right six letters.

- Clue is in...

- French?

The faith was breached,

the mark was sealed.

- Faith was breached?

- The mark was sealed.

- Um, violation, deception, betrayal

A betrayal, sealed with a kiss.

You see, Judas signaled the Romans

and sealed Christ's fate with a kiss.

- And in French, kiss is...

- Un baiser.

- Ready?

- Yes.

A little help.

The Judas Chalice.

Holy Grail for vampires.

I thought it would be bigger.

Anticlimactic after all this treasure.

Wow. This stuff is like

catnip for you guys, huh?

You know, I think that

we should go now.

Kind of a shame, really.

Can't take the whole

thing back with us.

This would make a wonderful addition

to the Large Collection Annex.

They could put it right

next to Noah's Ark...

15 men on a dead man's chest.

Yo ho ho and a bottle of rum.

I really must thank you for

finding the Chalice for me.

Old man said you did all the work.

Professor?

I have looked for this my

whole life, son. I had to see it.

You.

Old man warned me about you.

I thought it was all nonsense

but better safe than sorry.

Kubichek, if you hurt her I swear I'm...

You'll what?

Take away my life?

I'd originally planned to

resurrect Vlad on Russian soil

But tomorrow we begin with America.

Build up nice little army...

You don't know what you're doing.

You're unleashing a monster!

You would know what sort of monster.

How long since you last fed?

Lock them in.

Let them rot together for eternity!

Or until hunger gets better of her.

Flynn, are you okay?

My eye really hurts. This door's made out of

iron, these walls are 6 inces of wood, and

it's about 20 hours 'til they resurrect Vlad.

Okay, Simone, do your thing.

I could do that.

I'm sorry Flynn, I'm too weak,

I haven't fed in over 24 hours.

Okay, well don't get any ideas. You

just sit right over here and relax.

I can't believe this.

After centuries trying to protect the

Chalice, I failed. And I led them here.

Well, technically, I led them here.

But it's not over yet. For a 403 year old

woman, you sure don't have a lot of patience.

This looks promising.

Newton's third law.

I've got an idea.

Potassium nitrate. Perfect.

- Flynn, there are no cannon balls.

- We don't need them.

Newton's third law?

Every action has an equal

and opposite reaction.

The explosion should be strong

enough to drive this cannon back

- and through that door.

- Should?

Well...like about 60% of

the plans I come up with

there is a strong possibility that it

could all go horribly, horribly wrong.

We could die in the explosion.

- Well I can't die.

- Right, so I'm the only one who

could die in the explosion.

Glad we clarified that.

- Okay. Here we go.

- Wait.

For luck.

Here goes nothing.

Wait, wait, wait...

Yay Newton!

Andre!

Andre!

He's been hit from behind. See

if you can go start the boat.

Andre?

Simone! No, no, no!

Stop the boat!

I'm sorry, Flynn, but

you can't come with me.

Simone, what are you doing?

Simone!

Your girl done stole

my cousin's boat.

- Thought you said this boat was lucky?

- It is. For her.

- This is my cousin Horace.

- I'm not complaining.

Just talked to Earl, the boat's

back at the dock, safe and sound.

Well, looks like you got an

honest girl, there. For a thief.

- Thanks.

- You need anything else?

Don't suppose you can help me

find a plantation house being

rented by a bunch of Russians?

Well, there are a lot of plantation

houses in New Orleans. Uh, can't

you tell me anything else?

No. I don't really remember

much from my visit there.

What, you been there already?

Well, what you need me for?

Look, I know you got the photographic

memory in that head of yours.

I got faith in you.

- Thanks, Andre.

- Bonne chance, Mr. professor man. C'mon, Cous'

Surprise!

That went better in my head.

What are you doing here?

You shouldn't be here.

Why? So I won't see

you steal the Chalice?

- To become all powerful?

- You don't understand.

I understand. You betrayed me.

- You want the Chalice for yourself.

And I thought you cared about...

- I do care.

Get back! I'll use

this if I have to.

Flynn, I left you at the dock

because I was trying to protect you.

Well, we got you got here again. Honestly,

we're not this good. You two kind of

suck at sneaking around. Bring them.

Just in time.

I am sure Vlad Dracul will

be starved when he's awake.

You're making a big mistake, Kubichek.

Let's see. Open coffin.

What's next, old man?

Blood must be spilled into

the Chalice, and then

poured on the corpse at

the stroke of midnight.

Let's give Dracul a

taste of his dinner.

It's working.

IT'S WORKING!

Rise from the dead, warrior prince!

Rise and do my bidding!

This can't be!

You crippled fool!

It was all a hoax!

I kill you!

Lazlo?

- Lazlo is a vampire?

- I recognized him at the ship.

He was the one I was

trying to protect you from.

The one who made me.

We've got to get that

Chalice away from him.

You look for you missing men, Ivan?

Sorry, I had to snack

on the journey.

You killed my men, Lazlo!

Please call me Vlad.

If you're Vlad, who's that?

It's a peasant in a box.

I have lived for centuries among you humans

unnoticed until dead cattle got sick. Cholera.

1829 pandemic?

- Flynn?

- I'm sorry.

I drank infected blood, and I was trapped

in this withering body. Until now.

You wanted the Chalice for a

cure. To revive your powers.

Lucky for me, Kubichek

found the first clue.

- Not so lucky for Kubichek.

- Well, I wouldn't say that.

Now that I have the Chalice,

I will summon my children

and they will drink and we will

plunge your world into darkness.
