0:00:03 > 0:00:07THIS FILM CONTAINS SOME SCENES OF A SEXUAL NATURE.
0:00:08 > 0:00:14'Having reached the end of my poor sinner's life, my hair now white,
0:00:14 > 0:00:16'I prepare to leave on this parchment
0:00:16 > 0:00:20'my testimony as to the wondrous and terrible events
0:00:20 > 0:00:22'witnessed in my youth,
0:00:22 > 0:00:28'towards the end of the Year of our Lord 1327.
0:00:28 > 0:00:33'May God grant me the wisdom and grace to be the faithful chronicler
0:00:33 > 0:00:39'of the happenings that took place in a remote abbey in north Italy -
0:00:39 > 0:00:46'an abbey whose name it seems even now pious and prudent to omit.'
0:02:59 > 0:03:00Benedicamus Domine.
0:03:00 > 0:03:04Deo gratias.
0:03:05 > 0:03:09Benedicamus Domine.
0:03:09 > 0:03:11Deo gratias.
0:03:13 > 0:03:20'May my hand now tremble as I relive the past, and revive the uneasiness
0:03:20 > 0:03:24'that oppressed my heart as we entered.'
0:03:58 > 0:04:00Should we tell him?
0:04:03 > 0:04:09No. He will look in the wrong places.
0:04:09 > 0:04:15But...what if he should learn it of his own accord?
0:04:15 > 0:04:18You over-estimate him, my Lord Abbot.
0:04:18 > 0:04:24There is only one authority capable of investigating such matters -
0:04:24 > 0:04:26the Holy Inquisition.
0:04:33 > 0:04:37What is your opinion, Venerable Jorge?
0:04:39 > 0:04:45Dear Brother, I leave such worldly matters to younger men.
0:05:00 > 0:05:03- Adso...- Yes, Master?
0:05:03 > 0:05:08In order to command Nature, one must first learn to obey it.
0:05:08 > 0:05:14Return to the forecourt, skirt the aedificium, enter the quadrangle,
0:05:14 > 0:05:18and there you will find the place you need.
0:05:22 > 0:05:28You told me you'd never been to this abbey before.
0:05:28 > 0:05:33When we arrived, I saw a brother making for the spot in some haste.
0:05:33 > 0:05:38I noticed he emerged more slowly, with an air of contentment.
0:05:38 > 0:05:39Ah.
0:05:40 > 0:05:43Thank you, Master.
0:05:44 > 0:05:47A RAVEN CAWS
0:06:17 > 0:06:22- Pax vobiscum. - Et cum spiritu tuo.
0:06:22 > 0:06:25On behalf of the Benedictine Order,
0:06:25 > 0:06:33I am honoured to welcome you and your Franciscan brothers to our abbey.
0:06:39 > 0:06:42The other delegates have arrived?
0:06:42 > 0:06:49Ubertino de Casale has been here for some weeks. The others are due tomorrow.
0:06:50 > 0:06:55You...you must be very tired... after your long journey.
0:06:55 > 0:06:57No.
0:06:57 > 0:07:00Not particularly.
0:07:00 > 0:07:05- I trust you are not in need of anything.- No. Thank you.
0:07:07 > 0:07:10Well, then, I...
0:07:10 > 0:07:14..I bid you peace.
0:07:17 > 0:07:22I'm sorry that one of your brethren has recently been gathered unto God.
0:07:30 > 0:07:33Yes, a terrible loss.
0:07:33 > 0:07:38- Adelmo was a fine illuminator. - Not Adelmo of Otranto?
0:07:38 > 0:07:43- You knew him? - No, I knew and admired his work.
0:07:43 > 0:07:49His comic art was almost infamous... But he was said to be a young man!
0:07:49 > 0:07:52Oh, yes. Very young indeed.
0:07:52 > 0:07:56- An accident, no doubt?- Yes...
0:07:56 > 0:07:59Yes, as you say, an accident.
0:07:59 > 0:08:03Well, that is... I...
0:08:10 > 0:08:15Brother William, may I speak with you candidly?
0:08:15 > 0:08:18You seem most anxious to do so.
0:08:18 > 0:08:23When I heard you were coming, it seemed an answer to my prayers.
0:08:23 > 0:08:26Here is a man who has knowledge,
0:08:26 > 0:08:31both of the human spirit and of the wiles of the Evil One.
0:08:31 > 0:08:39The fact is, Brother Adelmo's death has caused much spiritual unease among my flock.
0:08:39 > 0:08:41DOOR OPENS
0:08:41 > 0:08:44This is my novice, Adso,
0:08:44 > 0:08:47the youngest son of the Baron of Melk.
0:08:47 > 0:08:50Please, do continue.
0:08:51 > 0:08:55We found the body after a hailstorm, horribly mutilated,
0:08:55 > 0:09:02dashed against a rock at the foot of the tower, under a window which...
0:09:02 > 0:09:07- ..How shall I say this? Which was...- Found closed.
0:09:07 > 0:09:14- Somebody told you. - Had it been open, you would have concluded that he had fallen.
0:09:14 > 0:09:19Brother William, the window cannot be opened,
0:09:19 > 0:09:22nor was the glass shattered.
0:09:22 > 0:09:29- Nor is there any access to the roof above.- Oh, I see.
0:09:29 > 0:09:36There seems no natural explanation, so your monks suspect a supernatural one.
0:09:36 > 0:09:41That is why I need the counsel of an acute man, such as you.
0:09:41 > 0:09:44Acute in uncovering,
0:09:44 > 0:09:49and prudent, if necessary, in, er, covering up,
0:09:49 > 0:09:52before the papal delegates arrive.
0:09:52 > 0:09:56You know I no longer deal in such matters.
0:09:56 > 0:10:02I AM reluctant to burden you with my dilemma, but...
0:10:03 > 0:10:06..unless I can reassure my flock,
0:10:06 > 0:10:11I will have no alternative but to summon the Inquisition.
0:10:13 > 0:10:16PIGS SQUEAL
0:10:34 > 0:10:37Adso!
0:10:46 > 0:10:53That is Ubertino de Casale, one of the great spiritual leaders of our Order.
0:10:53 > 0:10:54Come.
0:11:06 > 0:11:12Many revere him as a living saint. Others would burn him as a heretic.
0:11:12 > 0:11:17His speech on the clergy's poverty is not favourite papal reading.
0:11:17 > 0:11:20So now he must live in hiding.
0:11:21 > 0:11:24Oh...fellow Franciscans!
0:11:25 > 0:11:30You must leave this place at once!
0:11:30 > 0:11:34The Devil is roaming this abbey.
0:11:34 > 0:11:39Ubertino, it's William. William of Baskerville.
0:11:41 > 0:11:43William?
0:11:44 > 0:11:46No...
0:11:46 > 0:11:49No...
0:11:49 > 0:11:52William is dead.
0:12:01 > 0:12:04William, my son!
0:12:04 > 0:12:07Forgive me!
0:12:07 > 0:12:12We had lost trace of you... for so long...
0:12:12 > 0:12:15I tried very hard to be forgotten.
0:12:15 > 0:12:21When we heard of your troubles, I prayed to our Virgin for a miracle.
0:12:21 > 0:12:25Your prayers met with a favourable response.
0:12:25 > 0:12:28This is my novice, Adso of Melk.
0:12:28 > 0:12:32His father has entrusted me with his education.
0:12:34 > 0:12:38He must get out of here at once!
0:12:38 > 0:12:42The Devil is hurling beautiful boys out of windows!
0:12:46 > 0:12:50There was... something feminine...
0:12:52 > 0:12:55something diabolical...
0:12:55 > 0:12:58about the young one who died.
0:12:59 > 0:13:03He had the eyes of a girl...
0:13:03 > 0:13:07seeking intercourse with the Devil.
0:13:09 > 0:13:11Beware of this place.
0:13:11 > 0:13:15The Beast is still among us.
0:13:15 > 0:13:21I can sense him...now...here...
0:13:21 > 0:13:24within these very walls.
0:13:25 > 0:13:28I'm afraid, William,
0:13:28 > 0:13:33for you, for me, for the outcome of this debate!
0:13:33 > 0:13:36Oh, my son!
0:13:37 > 0:13:40The times we live in, hm?
0:13:43 > 0:13:49But let us not frighten our young friend here!
0:13:53 > 0:13:57She's beautiful, is she not?
0:13:59 > 0:14:05When the female, by nature so perverse,
0:14:06 > 0:14:09becomes sublime by holiness,
0:14:09 > 0:14:14then she can be the noblest vehicle of grace!
0:14:16 > 0:14:23IN LATIN:
0:14:29 > 0:14:30Hm?
0:14:33 > 0:14:37- I don't like this place.- Really?
0:14:37 > 0:14:43I find it most stimulating. Come.
0:14:43 > 0:14:50Dear Adso, we cannot let ourselves be influenced by irrational rumours of the Antichrist.
0:14:50 > 0:14:55Let us instead exercise our brains and try to solve this conundrum.
0:14:57 > 0:15:00IN LATIN:
0:15:06 > 0:15:14'My master trusted Aristotle, the Greek philosophers, and his own remarkable intelligence.
0:15:14 > 0:15:19'Unhappily, my fears were not mere phantoms of a youthful imagination.'
0:15:19 > 0:15:23A dark end for a brilliant man!
0:15:36 > 0:15:39SHOUTING AND FIGHTING
0:15:41 > 0:15:45Another generous donation by the Church to the poor(!)
0:15:47 > 0:15:54Perhaps he didn't fall from there, but from somewhere over there,
0:15:54 > 0:15:56and the body rolled down?
0:15:58 > 0:16:01No Devil needed any more!
0:16:01 > 0:16:05SCREAMS AND CRIES
0:16:18 > 0:16:24Yes, more blood! That's where he fell from. He jumped.
0:16:27 > 0:16:32- Adso, are you paying attention? - Yes. He jumped.
0:16:33 > 0:16:37He jumped? You mean he committed suicide?
0:16:37 > 0:16:41Yes! Why else would he go up there in a hailstorm?
0:16:41 > 0:16:47- It wasn't to admire the landscape! - No. Perhaps...someone murdered him.
0:16:47 > 0:16:51And toiled up there with the body?
0:16:51 > 0:16:56Much easier to get rid of it through their charity sluice-gate!
0:16:56 > 0:17:01No, my dear Adso, it's elementary.
0:17:03 > 0:17:06Suicide?
0:17:06 > 0:17:10Do you think this is a place abandoned by God?
0:17:10 > 0:17:15Have you ever known a place where God WOULD have felt at home?
0:17:20 > 0:17:24We praise Almighty God
0:17:24 > 0:17:31that there are no grounds for suspecting an evil spirit is here, either of this world or another.
0:17:33 > 0:17:39We praise our Lord that the debate, which we are so honoured to host,
0:17:39 > 0:17:45may now proceed without a shadow of fear.
0:17:47 > 0:17:49We also praise the Almighty
0:17:49 > 0:17:54for sending us Brother William of Baskerville,
0:17:54 > 0:18:02whose experience in previous duties, although onerous to him, has been of such service to us.
0:18:02 > 0:18:05May serenity and spiritual peace
0:18:05 > 0:18:10reign once more in our hearts.
0:18:13 > 0:18:16HE CLAPS ONCE
0:18:28 > 0:18:32IN LATIN:
0:19:08 > 0:19:11Master?
0:19:11 > 0:19:14Hm?
0:19:17 > 0:19:19If I may ask,
0:19:19 > 0:19:25what "onerous duties" was the Abbot talking about?
0:19:25 > 0:19:28Were you not always a monk?
0:19:28 > 0:19:32Even monks have pasts, Adso.
0:19:34 > 0:19:41- Now, do try to sleep. - Just... Yes, Master.
0:19:47 > 0:19:51IN LATIN:
0:20:05 > 0:20:08HE LAUGHS SOFTLY
0:20:13 > 0:20:15SQUEAKING NOISE
0:20:30 > 0:20:36ADSO MUMBLES IN FITFUL SLEEP

0:22:32 > 0:22:35< Padre! Padre!
0:22:35 > 0:22:38SHOUTING CONTINUES
0:23:01 > 0:23:06This one, I grant you, did NOT commit suicide.
0:23:36 > 0:23:39Water! Water!
0:23:48 > 0:23:57I am to blame. Had I not been so eager to believe your theory, this might have been prevented.
0:23:57 > 0:24:02I am convinced that Brother Adelmo took his own life. Now, whether...
0:24:02 > 0:24:09- ..The first body was found... - ..this is connected, I intend...
0:24:09 > 0:24:12..after the hailstorm,
0:24:12 > 0:24:17and the second trumpet, the sea became blood!
0:24:17 > 0:24:21And, behold!
0:24:21 > 0:24:24Here is blood!
0:24:24 > 0:24:30The Prophecy of the Apocalypse! At the third trumpet, a burning star
0:24:30 > 0:24:36will fall in a fountain of water!
0:24:36 > 0:24:39Just seven days?!
0:24:39 > 0:24:44CRYING AND WAILING

0:24:52 > 0:24:57Grated stem of bladderwort for treating diarrhoea...
0:24:57 > 0:25:02And as for onions, administered in small quantities, warm and moist,
0:25:02 > 0:25:10they help prolong the male erection - in those who've not taken our vows!
0:25:19 > 0:25:21Uh-huh.
0:25:21 > 0:25:26Do you find many circumstances in which you apply arsenic?
0:25:27 > 0:25:32Yes, indeed! It is a most effective remedy for nervous disorders -
0:25:32 > 0:25:35as a compound, in small doses.
0:25:35 > 0:25:39What if not-so-small doses?
0:25:41 > 0:25:43Death.
0:25:52 > 0:25:55What was this man's function here?
0:25:55 > 0:26:01He was our finest Greek translator. Devoted to the works of Aristotle.
0:26:01 > 0:26:06- Was he a friend of handsome Adelmo? - Indeed so, they worked together.
0:26:06 > 0:26:10In a brotherly way, you understand. Not like...
0:26:10 > 0:26:16I mean, flesh can be tempted according to nature...or against.
0:26:16 > 0:26:20They were not of the latter disposition,
0:26:20 > 0:26:23if you ascertain my meaning.
0:27:22 > 0:27:24Huh-huh-huh!
0:27:24 > 0:27:29Penitenziagite! Huh-huh-huh!
0:27:30 > 0:27:34Watch out for the draco who cometh in futurum to gnaw on your anima!
0:27:34 > 0:27:38La morte e sopra nos!
0:27:38 > 0:27:40Ha-ha-ha-ha!
0:27:42 > 0:27:45You contemplate the apocalypse, huh?
0:27:45 > 0:27:48La bas, nous avons Il Diavolo!
0:27:51 > 0:27:53Huh-huh-huh-huh!
0:27:53 > 0:27:56Ugly com' Salvatore!
0:27:57 > 0:27:59Ha! My little brother!
0:27:59 > 0:28:02Penitenziagite!
0:28:02 > 0:28:04Penitenziagite?
0:28:08 > 0:28:10Uh?
0:28:10 > 0:28:14- Ma...- You said "penitenziagite". I heard you.
0:28:14 > 0:28:16Ha-ha! Ma... Ma...
0:28:16 > 0:28:20Domine frate magnificentissimo.
0:28:21 > 0:28:26Io no uno...Dolcinito heretico...
0:28:26 > 0:28:28Les hommes must do penitenzia!
0:28:28 > 0:28:31Ich am a monk! Sancti Benedicti!
0:28:31 > 0:28:36HE GABBLES WILDLY AS HE LEAVES
0:28:45 > 0:28:49- Master...- Hm? - What language was he speaking?
0:28:49 > 0:28:52All languages. And none.
0:28:53 > 0:28:59- And what was the word you both kept mentioning? - Penitenziagite.
0:28:59 > 0:29:06- What does it mean?- It means that the hunchback undoubtedly was once a heretic.
0:29:06 > 0:29:11"Penitenziagite" was a rallying cry of the Dolcinites.
0:29:11 > 0:29:14Dolcinites? Who were they, Master?
0:29:14 > 0:29:19- Those who believed in the poverty of Christ.- So do we Franciscans!
0:29:19 > 0:29:24But they wanted EVERYONE poor - so they slaughtered the rich.
0:29:24 > 0:29:25Huh!
0:29:25 > 0:29:28You see, Adso,
0:29:28 > 0:29:35the step between ecstatic vision and sinful frenzy is all too brief!
0:29:36 > 0:29:41Well, could HE not have killed the translator?
0:29:41 > 0:29:47No! Fat bishops and wealthy priests were more to the Dolcinite taste,
0:29:47 > 0:29:54not a student of Aristotle. But you're right, we'll keep an open mind.
0:30:01 > 0:30:04We're fortunate to have snow here.
0:30:04 > 0:30:08Often the criminal unwittingly writes his autograph.
0:30:08 > 0:30:12Now, what do you read from these?
0:30:14 > 0:30:19- They're twice as deep as the others. - Good, Adso. Thus we may conclude...?
0:30:19 > 0:30:24- Well, that the man was very heavy. - Precisely. And why was he heavy?
0:30:27 > 0:30:30Because...he was very fat?
0:30:30 > 0:30:35Or because he was burdened with the weight of another man.
0:30:37 > 0:30:42Let us commit the autograph of this sole to our memory.
0:30:42 > 0:30:47But the footprints lead away from the jar -
0:30:47 > 0:30:50- in THIS direction.- You turnip!
0:30:50 > 0:30:55It is a possibility that he walked backwards, dragging the body thus.
0:30:55 > 0:30:59Hence furrows, caused by heels.
0:31:00 > 0:31:09Now, WHERE did the erudite Greek translator meet the anonymous author of his death, hm?
0:31:34 > 0:31:37Ah, Brother Librarian,
0:31:37 > 0:31:43may we examine the work of the two unfortunates gathered unto God?
0:31:43 > 0:31:49- Your request is unusual.- As are the circumstances of their deaths.
0:31:57 > 0:32:01- Brother Adelmo sat there. - Thank you.
0:32:10 > 0:32:13WHISPERS IN LATIN
0:32:22 > 0:32:26A donkey teaching the scriptures to the bishops...
0:32:28 > 0:32:30The Pope as a fox...
0:32:31 > 0:32:39The Abbot as a monkey! He really had a talent for comic images.
0:32:39 > 0:32:41HYSTERICAL SCREAM >
0:32:54 > 0:33:01I hope I did not offend you, Brother William, but I heard persons laughing at laughable things.
0:33:01 > 0:33:06You Franciscans, however, view merriment with indulgence.
0:33:06 > 0:33:10St Francis was much given to laughter.
0:33:10 > 0:33:16Laughter is a devilish wind which deforms the lineaments of the face,
0:33:16 > 0:33:23- and makes men look like monkeys! - Monkeys do not laugh. Laughter is particular to man.
0:33:23 > 0:33:26It is a sin! Christ never laughed.
0:33:26 > 0:33:30- Can we be so sure? - Nothing in Scripture says he did.
0:33:30 > 0:33:33Nothing says he did not.
0:33:33 > 0:33:37The saints employed comedy to ridicule enemies.
0:33:37 > 0:33:44When the pagans put St Maurus into boiling water, he said it was too cold.
0:33:44 > 0:33:47The sultan scalded himself testing it!
0:33:48 > 0:33:55A saint immersed in boiling water does not play childish tricks! He restrains his cries,
0:33:55 > 0:33:57and suffers for the truth!
0:33:57 > 0:34:05And yet Aristotle's second book of Poetics was devoted to comedy as an instrument of truth.
0:34:07 > 0:34:09You have read it?
0:34:09 > 0:34:11Of course not! It has been lost.
0:34:11 > 0:34:18No, it was never written! Providence does not want futile things glorified!
0:34:18 > 0:34:21- I must protest...- ENOUGH!
0:34:21 > 0:34:29This abbey is overshadowed with grief, yet you intrude on our sorrow with idle banter!
0:34:29 > 0:34:32Forgive me, Venerable Jorge.
0:34:32 > 0:34:35My remarks were truly out of place.
0:34:40 > 0:34:44- Which was the Greek translator's desk?- This one. >
0:34:57 > 0:34:59Come, Adso.
0:35:09 > 0:35:15- What did you deduce from that? - That we should not laugh there.
0:35:15 > 0:35:20But did you notice how few books there were on the shelves?
0:35:20 > 0:35:29All those scriveners, copyists, translators... But where were all the books they need for their work,
0:35:29 > 0:35:32and for which this abbey is famed?
0:35:33 > 0:35:36Where are the books?
0:35:37 > 0:35:41- Are you testing me, Master? - What do you mean?
0:35:41 > 0:35:48It seems that whenever you ask me a question, you already have the answer.
0:35:50 > 0:35:53- Do you know where the books are? - No.
0:35:55 > 0:36:02But I'll wager my faith that the tower contains something other than air.
0:36:09 > 0:36:14Did you notice that little door the librarian closed as we came in?
0:36:32 > 0:36:35Master! Master, quick! I have him!
0:36:39 > 0:36:41- Enough!- He tried to kill us!
0:36:45 > 0:36:46Salvatore!
0:36:50 > 0:36:59Please! Don't talk to the abbot about his past! He's innocent of the deaths here, I swear it.
0:37:01 > 0:37:07Brother Remigio, my price is some information.
0:37:13 > 0:37:19'I could not comprehend why my master dismissed my suspicions of the hunchback,
0:37:19 > 0:37:24'and why it was so urgent that we visit the tower.
0:37:24 > 0:37:32'I assumed he could not resist the temptation to enter the library and look at the books.'
0:38:13 > 0:38:15DOOR OPENS >
0:38:44 > 0:38:49No lock! As I thought, it must be bolted from inside.
0:38:49 > 0:38:53- How do we get in? - Through another entrance.
0:38:53 > 0:38:59Let's see what the moon-faced assistant librarian was trying to conceal from us this morning.
0:39:19 > 0:39:23Tiny Greek letters, like inky ant prints!
0:39:50 > 0:39:51Ah, yes!
0:39:54 > 0:39:57Written in lemon juice!
0:40:13 > 0:40:20It's some zodiacal code giving directions...but to where?
0:40:22 > 0:40:25HEY! Who's there?!
0:40:45 > 0:40:48- My magnifying glasses! - They were on that book.
0:40:53 > 0:40:56You go that way!
0:41:03 > 0:41:06FOOTSTEPS
0:41:37 > 0:41:40FOOTSTEPS APPROACH
0:41:58 > 0:42:01(Come on out...
0:42:01 > 0:42:03(you little witch.)
0:42:03 > 0:42:07I know you're here. I can smell you!
0:42:12 > 0:42:17What's the matter with you, hey? Are you afraid of me?
0:42:30 > 0:42:33HE GASPS
0:42:50 > 0:42:53HE WHIMPERS
0:43:08 > 0:43:11HE CRIES WITH PAIN
0:43:33 > 0:43:39'Who was she? Who was this creature that rose like the dawn,
0:43:39 > 0:43:44'as bewitching as the moon, radiant as the sun,
0:43:44 > 0:43:48'terrible as an army poised for battle?'
0:44:52 > 0:44:54SHE WHIMPERS
0:45:15 > 0:45:19SHE MOANS
0:47:00 > 0:47:04- RAT SQUEALS - Good evening!
0:47:09 > 0:47:13This is where you catch them!
0:47:15 > 0:47:18You see, they are piu grassa!
0:47:19 > 0:47:22- You... You eat them?- Mmm!
0:47:24 > 0:47:27- You like?- Thank you, no!
0:47:27 > 0:47:31Except during Lenta. Ich bin good Catolico!
0:47:31 > 0:47:35In that case, you must tell me...
0:47:44 > 0:47:48So, Adelmo gave the parchment to Berengar?
0:47:48 > 0:47:53- No! No! To the translo...trans... - Translator!
0:47:53 > 0:47:56- To Venantius, the black monk!- Si!
0:47:56 > 0:47:59And what happened then?
0:48:31 > 0:48:35Master! I've found another one!
0:48:43 > 0:48:46Where are your wits, boy?
0:48:46 > 0:48:52Have you ever met anyone with a ribcage big enough to hold such a heart?
0:48:52 > 0:48:55- Hm?- No.
0:48:55 > 0:48:57No!
0:48:57 > 0:49:00It's the heart of an ox.
0:49:00 > 0:49:07One of the monks probably gave it to that peasant girl in exchange for...favours.
0:49:07 > 0:49:09Girl? What...?
0:49:11 > 0:49:14The one I saw scuttling away.
0:49:15 > 0:49:19- He must have been a very ugly monk. - Why ugly?
0:49:23 > 0:49:31If he'd been young and beautiful, she would no doubt have blessed him with her favours for nothing!
0:49:31 > 0:49:39In any event, whatever happened in this dreadful kitchen has no bearing on our investigations.
0:49:39 > 0:49:41The hunchback has convinced me
0:49:41 > 0:49:44that Berengar is the key to the...
0:49:44 > 0:49:46What did you say?
0:49:46 > 0:49:49Nothing, Master.
0:49:49 > 0:49:51Good!
0:49:59 > 0:50:02A COCK CROWS
0:50:06 > 0:50:09- Master?- Mmm?
0:50:11 > 0:50:14There's something I must tell you.
0:50:14 > 0:50:16I know.
0:50:17 > 0:50:20Then will you hear my confession?
0:50:22 > 0:50:26Well, I'd rather you told me first as a friend.
0:50:33 > 0:50:35Master...
0:50:36 > 0:50:38have you...
0:50:38 > 0:50:42ever been...in love?
0:50:42 > 0:50:45In love? Yes.
0:50:45 > 0:50:48- Many times.- You were?
0:50:48 > 0:50:51Of course! Aristotle...
0:50:51 > 0:50:55- Ovid...Virgil...- No! I meant...
0:50:55 > 0:51:00Ah! Are you not confusing love with lust?
0:51:04 > 0:51:06I don't know.
0:51:07 > 0:51:10I want only her own good.
0:51:12 > 0:51:17I want her to be happy. I want to save her from poverty.
0:51:19 > 0:51:21Oh, dear.
0:51:21 > 0:51:25- Why "Oh, dear"? - You ARE in love!
0:51:25 > 0:51:28Is that bad?
0:51:28 > 0:51:31For a monk, it presents problems!
0:51:31 > 0:51:36Doesn't Saint Thomas Aquinas praise love above all else?
0:51:36 > 0:51:39Yes... The love of God, Adso.
0:51:39 > 0:51:42- The love of God.- Oh.
0:51:45 > 0:51:48And the love of...woman?
0:51:48 > 0:51:52Of woman, Thomas Aquinas knew precious little!
0:51:52 > 0:51:57But the Scriptures are clear. Proverbs says,
0:51:57 > 0:52:03"Woman takes possession of a man's precious soul." And Ecclesiastes tell us...
0:52:03 > 0:52:06"More bitter than death is woman."
0:52:07 > 0:52:11Yes, but... what do YOU think?
0:52:11 > 0:52:13Well...
0:52:13 > 0:52:17I don't have the benefit of YOUR experience,
0:52:17 > 0:52:22but I find it difficult to convince myself
0:52:22 > 0:52:27that God would have introduced such a foul being into creation
0:52:27 > 0:52:32without endowing her with SOME virtues. Mm?
0:52:34 > 0:52:39How peaceful life would be without love, Adso.
0:52:40 > 0:52:44How safe...how tranquil...
0:52:47 > 0:52:49..and how dull.
0:52:50 > 0:52:53WIND BLOWS
0:52:54 > 0:52:57CHEERFUL SINGING
0:53:01 > 0:53:03How beautiful!
0:53:03 > 0:53:08Lord, you have guided our steps to this refuge of spiritual peace
0:53:08 > 0:53:13because you wish for reconciliation as much as we Franciscans.
0:53:13 > 0:53:16Let us go, Brothers!
0:53:16 > 0:53:20Thy will be done, O Lord. Amen.
0:53:20 > 0:53:24- KNOCKING - Brother Berengar?
0:53:30 > 0:53:33He's probably hiding somewhere,
0:53:33 > 0:53:38with the book and my magnifying glasses.
0:53:45 > 0:53:47Brother Berengar!
0:53:52 > 0:53:55Master, look! The door!
0:54:02 > 0:54:05Ah! Brother Malachia!
0:54:05 > 0:54:10- I was looking for your assistant, Brother Berengar. Is he here?- No.
0:54:10 > 0:54:13Oh, I see.
0:54:13 > 0:54:16Do you know where we might find him?
0:54:16 > 0:54:18No.
0:54:18 > 0:54:23- Is he perhaps upstairs, in the library?- No.
0:54:23 > 0:54:28- I am curious to see the library. May I do so?- No!
0:54:29 > 0:54:31Why not?
0:54:31 > 0:54:34It is a strict rule of the Abbot.
0:54:34 > 0:54:42- No-one is permitted to enter the library other than myself and my assistant.- I see!
0:54:42 > 0:54:44Thank you again.
0:54:49 > 0:54:54MASS IS BEING SUNG
0:54:56 > 0:54:59Maybe something's happened to him.
0:55:00 > 0:55:02Maybe we'll find him in water.
0:55:02 > 0:55:07- What?- The third trumpet, as Ubertino said.
0:55:07 > 0:55:09The Book of Revelation.
0:55:09 > 0:55:13That is not the book we're after!
0:55:13 > 0:55:17# ..Sicut erat in principio et nunc et semper... #
0:55:37 > 0:55:41Welcome to our abbey, Brother Michele.
0:55:43 > 0:55:46Hey, you! Hey! HEY!
0:55:46 > 0:55:49Back in line like the others!
0:55:49 > 0:55:51Let him go!
0:55:51 > 0:55:55This is Cuthbert of Winchester, one of our Franciscan guests.
0:55:57 > 0:55:59Come, your Grace.
0:56:02 > 0:56:07 But the Abbot seems convinced that the Devil is at work here.
0:56:07 > 0:56:15The only evidence I see of the Devil is everyone's desire to see him at work.
0:56:15 > 0:56:18What if Ubertino is right? >
0:56:18 > 0:56:24This debate is crucial! The Pope wants to crush us!
0:56:24 > 0:56:32- He'll declare us heretics! - I only have one brother to question to solve the matter.
0:56:32 > 0:56:38 We place our trust in you. Pray God you do not abuse it.
0:56:42 > 0:56:45Brother William.
0:57:25 > 0:57:30- Did you find a book in Greek? - No.
0:57:41 > 0:57:43I was right.
0:57:43 > 0:57:46So was the Book of Revelation.
0:57:48 > 0:57:52- We must talk at once. - Indeed we must!
0:57:53 > 0:57:58And I have much to tell. ..After we've examined the corpse.
0:58:02 > 0:58:08- Vine leaves in the bath alleviate pain.- He was left-handed.
0:58:08 > 0:58:16- He was inverted in many ways. - Are there other left-handed brothers here?- None that I know of.
0:58:18 > 0:58:21Ink stains!
0:58:29 > 0:58:32He did not write with his tongue(!)
0:58:41 > 0:58:44- A few lines of Greek.- Yes.
0:58:44 > 0:58:50Written by Venantius. Some random notes from the book he was reading
0:58:50 > 0:58:55just before he died. See how the calligraphy changes?
0:58:55 > 0:58:59From this point on, he was dying.
0:58:59 > 0:59:02What do you conclude from that?
0:59:04 > 0:59:07A smudge of blue paint!
0:59:07 > 0:59:14Yes, but a unique smudge of blue, blended by your finest illuminator, Brother Adelmo.
0:59:14 > 0:59:17He possessed this before Venantius.
0:59:17 > 0:59:24We know that, because the random notes overrun the smudge, not vice versa.
0:59:24 > 0:59:27Brother William...
0:59:27 > 0:59:31this abbey is enshrouded in a terrifying mystery.
0:59:31 > 0:59:38Yet I detect nothing in your obscure dissertation that sheds any light on it.
0:59:38 > 0:59:40Adso!
0:59:40 > 0:59:41Light!
0:59:44 > 0:59:52Someone was at great pains to conceal a secret of the first magnitude. Mm?
0:59:52 > 0:59:55The calligraphy is left-handed,
0:59:55 > 1:00:01and the only left-handed brother is, or was, Brother Berengar.
1:00:01 > 1:00:07Now, what kind of secret knowledge would he have been privy to?
1:00:07 > 1:00:11I've the feeling you are about to tell me.
1:00:11 > 1:00:15Books! Restricted books. Spiritually dangerous books.
1:00:17 > 1:00:22Everyone here knew of the assistant librarian's passion for boys.
1:00:22 > 1:00:30When Adelmo wanted to read a forbidden book, Berengar offered him the key to its whereabouts,
1:00:30 > 1:00:37- enciphered on that parchment, in exchange for unnatural caresses. - Enough!
1:00:37 > 1:00:41Adelmo submitted to his lustful advances.
1:00:41 > 1:00:48Racked by remorse, he wandered desperately in the graveyard and met the Greek translator.
1:00:48 > 1:00:53- How do you know? - The hunchback was a witness.
1:00:53 > 1:00:57He saw Adelmo hand over the parchment.
1:00:57 > 1:01:02He saw him run to the small tower and hurl himself from the window.
1:01:02 > 1:01:06While Berengar punished himself,
1:01:06 > 1:01:13Venantius, helped by the coded instructions on the parchment, found the book in the library.
1:01:13 > 1:01:19He took it back to his desk and began to read it.
1:01:19 > 1:01:23After scribbling down a few mysterious quotations, he died
1:01:23 > 1:01:25with a black stain on his finger.
1:01:25 > 1:01:32The assistant librarian dragged the body to the pig pens to avert suspicion falling on him.
1:01:34 > 1:01:36But he left clues.
1:01:36 > 1:01:41The book remained on the translator's desk.
1:01:41 > 1:01:48Berengar read it last night. Soon after, overcome by some agonising pain,
1:01:48 > 1:01:52he took a soothing bath - and drowned.
1:01:52 > 1:01:54He, too, had a blackened finger.
1:01:54 > 1:02:01All three died because of the book which kills or for which men will kill.
1:02:01 > 1:02:04Grant me access to the library.
1:02:04 > 1:02:09< Brother William, your pride blinds you!
1:02:10 > 1:02:17By idolising reason, you fail to see what is obvious to everyone in this abbey.
1:02:20 > 1:02:23HE WHISPERS
1:02:32 > 1:02:35Thank you, Brother William.
1:02:35 > 1:02:38We are mindful of your efforts,
1:02:40 > 1:02:45but I shall now ask you to refrain from your investigations.
1:02:49 > 1:02:57There will be someone arriving with the Papal delegation who knows the wiles of the Evil One.
1:03:01 > 1:03:06A man I believe you know only too well.
1:03:09 > 1:03:14Bernardo Gui of the Inquisition.
1:03:23 > 1:03:26Master, who is Bernardo Gui?
1:03:27 > 1:03:29< William!
1:03:29 > 1:03:36I've been searching the entire abbey for you. Michele wishes to speak to you...
1:03:36 > 1:03:38alone.
1:03:38 > 1:03:45- Do you know who is coming here? - Bernardo Gui. Ubertino must be moved to a place of safety.
1:03:45 > 1:03:48It is you that concerns us.
1:03:48 > 1:03:54Your investigations are irrelevant. With erroneous conclusions.
1:03:54 > 1:03:59- It's the truth. - William is right. He's always right.
1:03:59 > 1:04:04No matter what the consequences, for himself or anyone else,
1:04:04 > 1:04:09William of Baskerville must always prove himself right.
1:04:09 > 1:04:17Was it not your vanity, your stubborn pride, that brought you into conflict with Bernardo?
1:04:17 > 1:04:23Do not tempt fate twice, William. No-one will be able to save you this time.
1:04:37 > 1:04:42'My flesh had forgotten the sinful pleasure that our union had given me
1:04:42 > 1:04:46'but my soul could not forget her.
1:04:49 > 1:04:56'And now, now that I saw her in the midst of her poverty and squalor,
1:04:56 > 1:04:59'I praised God in my heart that I was a Franciscan.
1:04:59 > 1:05:04'I wanted her to know that I did not belong to this rapacious abbey,
1:05:04 > 1:05:09'but to an order dedicated to lifting her people out of their physical destitution...
1:05:13 > 1:05:15'..and spiritual deprivation.'

1:06:08 > 1:06:10Farewell, William.
1:06:11 > 1:06:16You are mad and arrogant,
1:06:16 > 1:06:21but I love you and shall never cease to pray for you.
1:06:22 > 1:06:25Goodbye, dear child.
1:06:27 > 1:06:32Try not to learn too many bad examples from your master.
1:06:32 > 1:06:34He thinks too much,
1:06:34 > 1:06:38relying always on the deductions of his head
1:06:38 > 1:06:45instead of trusting in the prophetic capacities...
1:06:45 > 1:06:47of his heart.
1:06:48 > 1:06:51Learn to mortify your intelligence.
1:06:51 > 1:06:55- Hey!- Weep over the walls of our Lord.
1:06:57 > 1:07:01Oh, and do throw away those books!
1:07:01 > 1:07:05There is a side of Ubertino... that I truly envy.
1:07:05 > 1:07:09Remember, fear the last trumpet, my friends,
1:07:09 > 1:07:11the net will fall from the sky
1:07:11 > 1:07:17- and then will come a thousand scorpions.- Yes, yes. We won't forget.
1:07:45 > 1:07:47Which one frightens you most?
1:07:50 > 1:07:53- They all do.- Look closely.
1:08:00 > 1:08:03- That one.- My choice exactly.
1:08:06 > 1:08:09CLICK...
1:08:23 > 1:08:25After you.
1:09:14 > 1:09:19Those are the foundations of the tower.
1:09:26 > 1:09:28How do we reach the library?
1:09:28 > 1:09:30A RAT SQUEALS
1:09:31 > 1:09:36The rats love parchment. Let's follow him.

1:09:51 > 1:09:53..339...340...
1:09:59 > 1:10:01I knew it!
1:10:05 > 1:10:07Adso.
1:10:07 > 1:10:09I knew it!
1:10:33 > 1:10:40Adso, do you realise we're in one of the greatest libraries in the whole of Christendom?
1:10:41 > 1:10:44RESOUNDING LAUGHTER
1:11:04 > 1:11:09- How will we find the book we want? - In time.
1:11:10 > 1:11:13The Beatus of Lebana.
1:11:14 > 1:11:16That, Adso, is a masterpiece.
1:11:16 > 1:11:21This is the verse annotated by Umberto di Bologna.
1:11:21 > 1:11:26How many more rooms? How many more books?
1:11:31 > 1:11:36No-one should be forbidden to consult these books.
1:11:42 > 1:11:47Perhaps they are thought to be too precious or fragile.
1:11:47 > 1:11:55No, it's not that. It is because they contain a wisdom that is different from ours,
1:11:55 > 1:12:00ideas which encourage us to doubt infallibility.
1:12:09 > 1:12:11Master?
1:12:11 > 1:12:16And doubt, Adso, is the enemy of faith.
1:12:16 > 1:12:19HIS VOICE ECHOES
1:12:19 > 1:12:22Master?
1:12:36 > 1:12:38Master?
1:12:40 > 1:12:43Master, wait for me!
1:12:44 > 1:12:47But I AM waiting for you.
1:12:47 > 1:12:50FOOTSTEPS
1:12:52 > 1:12:55But I can hear you walking.
1:12:56 > 1:13:01I'm not walking, Adso, I'm down here.
1:13:01 > 1:13:05FOOTSTEPS AND CREAKING
1:13:17 > 1:13:20Is that you up there?
1:13:20 > 1:13:23Where are you, boy?
1:13:24 > 1:13:26I'm lost!
1:13:29 > 1:13:33FOOTSTEPS RUN BY
1:13:46 > 1:13:51Well, Adso, it would appear that we're in a labyrinth.
1:14:04 > 1:14:07- Are you still there?- Yes.
1:14:07 > 1:14:10How do we get out?
1:14:10 > 1:14:12With some difficulty!
1:14:12 > 1:14:15(If at all.)
1:14:15 > 1:14:20You see, Adso... that is the charm of a labyrinth.
1:14:20 > 1:14:23Adso, stay calm.
1:14:23 > 1:14:26Open a book and read aloud.
1:14:26 > 1:14:31Leave the room you're in and keep turning left.
1:14:32 > 1:14:36"Love does not originate as an illness.
1:14:36 > 1:14:43"The Muslim theologian, Ibn-Hazm, states, 'A lovesick person does not want to be healed.'
1:14:44 > 1:14:50"Love causes irregular breathing and quickens the pulse. He identifies melancholia with lycanthropy -
1:14:50 > 1:14:55"a disease that produces wolf-like behaviour in sufferers.
1:14:55 > 1:14:58"The lover's appearance changes.
1:14:58 > 1:15:03"His lips shrivel and his face becomes covered
1:15:03 > 1:15:07"with pustules and scabs. Marks resembling the bites of a dog appear on his face.
1:15:07 > 1:15:14"He ends his days by prowling graveyards...at night
1:15:14 > 1:15:16"like a wolf."
1:15:16 > 1:15:21- Master, I can see a lantern. - Don't move.
1:15:21 > 1:15:25- Stay where you are. - I can see a man.
1:15:25 > 1:15:28He's stopped.
1:15:28 > 1:15:35- What's he doing? - He's raising his lantern. - How many times?
1:15:35 > 1:15:37Three times.
1:15:37 > 1:15:41It is I. Raise your lantern.
1:15:54 > 1:15:56What?
1:16:01 > 1:16:05You foolish boy! It's only a mirror.
1:16:15 > 1:16:19- Save the books! - I'm trying to save YOU!
1:16:24 > 1:16:29A trap-door and a mirror, we must be almost there.
1:16:29 > 1:16:32HORSE WHINNIES
1:16:36 > 1:16:42If I have deciphered the instructions of the Greek translator correctly...
1:16:45 > 1:16:50I didn't hand over the original without first making a copy!
1:16:50 > 1:16:57"Manu supra idolum agi primum et septimus de quatuor" is what?
1:17:01 > 1:17:05With the hand above...the idol...
1:17:05 > 1:17:09..press the first and the seventh... of four.
1:17:09 > 1:17:12Very good.
1:17:15 > 1:17:19- What idol? - That's what we're here to find out.
1:17:19 > 1:17:26- The first and seventh of four what? - If I knew that, I'd be teaching theology in Paris!
1:18:22 > 1:18:25Again!
1:18:25 > 1:18:29CLICKING NOISE
1:18:29 > 1:18:33- Do you hear that? - HE IMITATES THE CLICKING
1:18:34 > 1:18:37It's my teeth!
1:18:37 > 1:18:41- What?- My teeth! - Don't be afraid.
1:18:41 > 1:18:44I'm not afraid. I'm cold.
1:18:48 > 1:18:55- We shall return. - Don't leave on my account. - This eludes me for the moment.
1:18:57 > 1:18:59Let me see.
1:18:59 > 1:19:03If I knew the way out of the labyrinth...
1:19:03 > 1:19:08We come to a fork, mark it with an arrow and... No, no, no!
1:19:11 > 1:19:14- Master?- Dear boy, I'm thinking.
1:19:14 > 1:19:18- If there are arrows at the fork... - Master?
1:19:24 > 1:19:26Well done, boy!
1:19:26 > 1:19:32Your classical education serves us well.
1:19:32 > 1:19:35MEN CONVERSE
1:19:49 > 1:19:51CAT MIAOWS
1:20:07 > 1:20:10Abigor, pecca pro nobis.
1:20:10 > 1:20:13Amon, miserere nobis...
1:20:13 > 1:20:16Haborym, dominum damnamus...
1:20:16 > 1:20:22Leonardo, asperge me spermate tuo et inquinabor!
1:20:31 > 1:20:35Sputa, s'il vous plait. Sputala.
1:20:41 > 1:20:43Thank you.
1:20:46 > 1:20:50Lucifer, be at my servicio pour l'amour de la femina!
1:20:52 > 1:20:55THE WOMAN SINGS TO HERSELF
1:21:09 > 1:21:10Lasciami!
1:21:27 > 1:21:30BELL TOLLS
1:21:31 > 1:21:35SHE SCREAMS
1:21:43 > 1:21:45Bernardo, search the creature.
1:22:00 > 1:22:08My Lord Abbot, you invited me to investigate the presence of the Evil One in your abbey.
1:22:08 > 1:22:12I have already found it.
1:22:12 > 1:22:15THE WOMAN CONTINUES SCREAMING
1:22:15 > 1:22:23How many times have I seen these objects of devil worship - the black cockerel and black cat?
1:22:23 > 1:22:27She did it for the food, not the devil. Tell him!
1:22:27 > 1:22:35William remembers the trial where a woman said she had lain with a demon in the form of a black cat.
1:22:35 > 1:22:42You don't have to draw on my past experiences to formulate your conclusions.
1:22:42 > 1:22:47Not when faced with such irrefutable evidence.
1:22:47 > 1:22:52A witch. A seduced monk. Satanic rites.
1:22:52 > 1:22:57Tomorrow! Tomorrow we shall learn if these events are connected
1:22:57 > 1:23:02with the graver mystery that afflicts your abbey.
1:23:02 > 1:23:07Lock them up that we may sleep safely tonight.
1:23:17 > 1:23:20You said...you said nothing.
1:23:20 > 1:23:26I said nothing because there was nothing to be said.
1:23:26 > 1:23:33You're ready enough to speak the truth when it comes to books and ideas.
1:23:33 > 1:23:39She is already burnt, Adso. Gui has spoken. She is a witch.
1:23:39 > 1:23:42That's not true and you know it.
1:23:42 > 1:23:44I know.
1:23:46 > 1:23:53I also know that anyone who disputes the verdict of an Inquisitor is a heretic.
1:23:56 > 1:24:00You seem to know a lot about it.
1:24:01 > 1:24:03Oh, yes.
1:24:06 > 1:24:09Won't you tell me?
1:24:10 > 1:24:13As a friend?
1:24:13 > 1:24:16Well, there's not much to tell.
1:24:16 > 1:24:22I too was an Inquisitor... but in the early days.
1:24:22 > 1:24:27The Inquisition then strove to guide, not to punish.
1:24:29 > 1:24:34Once I had to preside at the trial of a man
1:24:34 > 1:24:41whose only crime was to have translated a Greek book that conflicted with the Scriptures.
1:24:43 > 1:24:48Bernardo Gui wanted him condemned as a heretic.
1:24:49 > 1:24:52I acquitted the man.
1:24:52 > 1:24:58Then Bernardo Gui accused me of heresy for defending him.
1:25:00 > 1:25:03I appealed to the Pope.
1:25:04 > 1:25:07I was put in prison,
1:25:08 > 1:25:11tortured...
1:25:17 > 1:25:20..and I recanted.
1:25:22 > 1:25:26What happened then?
1:25:27 > 1:25:30The man was burnt at the stake.
1:25:30 > 1:25:33And I'm still alive.
2:59:50 > 2:59:57.
3:00:00 > 3:00:02SCREAMS
3:00:21 > 3:00:24Brother Salvatore.
3:00:25 > 3:00:29These torments will cause me as much pain as you.
3:00:36 > 3:00:42But you can put an end to them now. Open your heart and search into your soul.
3:00:42 > 3:00:46- Search! - I search, Signor.
3:00:47 > 3:00:49I search!
3:00:51 > 3:00:59Who among your brethren is the heretic responsible for these murders?
3:01:00 > 3:01:03Non lo so, Magnifico.
3:01:03 > 3:01:07No sabe. No sabe nada. No sabe.
3:01:12 > 3:01:16Stupido! Stupido! Me know nothing!
3:01:19 > 3:01:22A COCK CROWS
3:01:25 > 3:01:31'Did I lie awake that night suffering for the girl, or for myself?
3:01:31 > 3:01:38'With the dawn came the envoys of the Pope, our adversaries in the forthcoming debate.
3:01:38 > 3:01:41'But it meant so little to me now.'
3:02:04 > 3:02:07Your Eminence, venerable Brothers,
3:02:07 > 3:02:12at last we meet for this long-awaited debate.
3:02:12 > 3:02:18We have all journeyed great distances to end the dispute
3:02:18 > 3:02:22which has impaired the unity of the Holy Church.
3:02:22 > 3:02:31Good people throughout Christendom are directing their gaze at these venerable walls,
3:02:31 > 3:02:35anxiously awaiting our answer to the vexed question -
3:02:37 > 3:02:44did Christ or did he not own the clothes that he wore?
3:02:53 > 3:02:59Beloved brethren of the Franciscan Order,
3:02:59 > 3:03:07our Holy Father, the Pope, has authorised me to speak on his behalf.
3:03:07 > 3:03:14The question is not whether Christ was poor, but whether the Church should be poor.
3:03:16 > 3:03:21You Franciscans wish to see the clergy renounce its possessions,
3:03:21 > 3:03:26surrender its riches and dissipate its treasures.
3:03:29 > 3:03:31William, I've found the book.
3:03:32 > 3:03:38- I've found the book in Greek at the dispensary.- Don't touch it!
3:03:39 > 3:03:43Return. Lock yourself in. I'll soon be there.
3:03:44 > 3:03:50THE ENVOY: This would deprive the Church of resources to combat unbelievers,
3:03:50 > 3:03:53and wage war on the infidel.
3:03:53 > 3:03:56< Even the greatest monument...
3:05:14 > 3:05:16Aaargh!
3:05:27 > 3:05:30HE GIVES A BLESSING IN LATIN
3:05:41 > 3:05:48Quick, Brother! Salvatore has confessed to his radical past. You have little time to escape.
3:05:55 > 3:05:57Thank you.
3:06:34 > 3:06:37How dare you call the Pope's brothel God's palace on Earth!
3:06:37 > 3:06:38Answer that!
3:06:38 > 3:06:40These murders are a sign.
3:06:40 > 3:06:45THEY ALL ARGUE AND SHOUT
3:06:45 > 3:06:46Ssh!
3:06:46 > 3:06:50Categorically, Christ owned a purse.
3:06:50 > 3:06:55THEY ALL SHOUT TOGETHER
3:06:55 > 3:06:58Gentlemen, Brothers...!
3:06:58 > 3:07:02CONFUSED SHOUTING
3:07:05 > 3:07:07If you please!
3:07:08 > 3:07:12A matter has occurred of the utmost gravity.
3:07:12 > 3:07:17Let me go! I didn't kill him. I was at the granary taking the inventory. I have never killed anyone.
3:07:17 > 3:07:22- I swear it!- Then explain the purpose of your escape.
3:07:25 > 3:07:31I had already ordered your arrest on other charges. I was correct.
3:07:31 > 3:07:39Had someone else not looked in the wrong direction, several men of God might still be with us.
3:07:49 > 3:07:53MUTTERS THE INSCRIPTION TO HIMSELF
3:07:55 > 3:07:58"Choose vulgar persons.
3:07:58 > 3:08:01"Take pleasure from their defects."
3:08:02 > 3:08:07- Please, dear boy, I am trying to think.- So am I.
3:08:08 > 3:08:13Then try using your head instead of your heart.
3:08:13 > 3:08:21- Are books more important than people to you?- Did I say that? - You never seem to care about anyone.
3:08:21 > 3:08:24Couldn't you show a little pity?
3:08:28 > 3:08:33Perhaps that is the style of my pity.
3:08:33 > 3:08:35Pity won't save her from the fire.
3:08:45 > 3:08:50I remind all present that they are bound by their vow of obedience.
3:08:50 > 3:08:58And, on pain of excommunication, bound to aid the Inquisitor in his struggle against heresy.
3:08:58 > 3:09:03To sit on this tribunal and share the burden of the verdict,
3:09:03 > 3:09:09I will require the counsel of two fellow judges.
3:09:20 > 3:09:23My Lord Abbot.
3:09:23 > 3:09:24And...
3:09:30 > 3:09:33..Brother William of Baskerville.
3:09:33 > 3:09:35THEY GASP
3:10:09 > 3:10:11Salvatore?
3:10:13 > 3:10:16Salvatore!
3:10:20 > 3:10:26Salvatore, will you repeat your confession of last night...
3:10:27 > 3:10:33..that you and your accomplice were members of a heretical group?
3:10:34 > 3:10:38Si, domine bellissime. Si, heretenae. Tutti! Tutti!
3:10:38 > 3:10:42- Si! Si!- Thank you.
3:10:42 > 3:10:46- I am not homo literatus... - Thank you.
3:10:47 > 3:10:50I beg, Magnifiquissimo.
3:10:51 > 3:10:55In nomine Patri, et Filii et Spiritus Sancti...
3:10:55 > 3:10:57Enough!
3:10:57 > 3:10:58Si!
3:11:00 > 3:11:05Remigio, do you deny the confession of your accomplice?
3:11:07 > 3:11:09No.
3:11:09 > 3:11:11< I don't deny it.
3:11:11 > 3:11:15I'm PROUD of it!
3:11:18 > 3:11:21For the 12 years I lived here,
3:11:21 > 3:11:26I did nothing but stuff my belly, shag my wick,
3:11:26 > 3:11:30and squeeze the hungry peasants for tithes.
3:11:30 > 3:11:34But now, you have given me the strength
3:11:34 > 3:11:37to remember what I once believed in
3:11:37 > 3:11:41with all my heart, and for that, I thank you.
3:11:43 > 3:11:51- Do you remember wantonly looting the property of the Church? - To return it to its proper owners!
3:11:51 > 3:11:55And did you not slaughter bishops and priests?
3:11:55 > 3:11:58Yes! And...
3:11:58 > 3:12:02I'd butcher YOU if I had half the chance!
3:12:09 > 3:12:14Holy Mary, Mother of God, hear my humble prayer.
3:12:16 > 3:12:20I know that my sin was very great,
3:12:20 > 3:12:22but I beg of you,
3:12:22 > 3:12:27don't let her suffer for MY wrong-doing.
3:12:27 > 3:12:33Blessed Mother, years ago you granted a miracle by saving my master.
3:12:33 > 3:12:37Will you not do the same for this girl?
3:12:39 > 3:12:44My master says that the simple folk always pay for all.
3:12:45 > 3:12:50Please, Holy Mother, do not let it be so.
3:12:53 > 3:12:58Guilty is that witch, who has seduced a monk
3:12:58 > 3:13:04and has practised her diabolical ritual within this hallowed place!
3:13:05 > 3:13:08Guilty as Salvatore...
3:13:10 > 3:13:16..who confessed to his heretical past and was caught in flagrante delicto with a witch!
3:13:16 > 3:13:19Guilty is Remigio di Varagine...
3:13:20 > 3:13:24..who is unrepentant of his former heresies,
3:13:24 > 3:13:29- and killed the herbalist, Severinus. - That's a lie!
3:13:29 > 3:13:32I never killed him or anyone else in this abbey!
3:13:32 > 3:13:36I request you, Lord Abbot, to confirm my sentence.
3:13:44 > 3:13:47My heart is filled with sorrow,
3:13:47 > 3:13:53but I can find no reason to contest the just sentence of the Holy Inquisition.
3:13:55 > 3:13:58- BERNARDO: - And you, William of Baskerville?
3:14:05 > 3:14:08Yes...he is guilty.
3:14:09 > 3:14:15Guilty of having, in his youth, misinterpreted the message of the Gospels.
3:14:15 > 3:14:19And he is guilty of having confused
3:14:19 > 3:14:25the love of poverty with the blind destruction of wealth and property.
3:14:28 > 3:14:30But, my Lord Abbot,
3:14:30 > 3:14:35he is innocent of the crimes that have bathed your abbey in blood.
3:14:37 > 3:14:41Brother Remigio cannot read Greek,
3:14:41 > 3:14:49and this entire mystery hinges on the theft of a book, written in Greek and hidden in the library.
3:14:50 > 3:14:58Since Brother William has disputed the verdict, we are obliged to extract a confession.
3:14:58 > 3:15:05- Take him to the forge and show him the instruments! - I'll confess anything you want!
3:15:05 > 3:15:09But don't torture me!
3:15:09 > 3:15:12- I can't bear it!- Very well.
3:15:12 > 3:15:15Why did you kill them?
3:15:15 > 3:15:17Why?
3:15:17 > 3:15:20I don't know why.
3:15:22 > 3:15:26- Because the Devil inspired you? - Yes, that's it.
3:15:26 > 3:15:34I was inspired by the Devil! I am inspired by the DEVIL!
3:15:34 > 3:15:38Lucifer! I summon you, Lords of Hell!
3:15:38 > 3:15:43REMIGIO CONTINUES TO BABBLE AND SHOUT
3:15:45 > 3:15:48The shepherd has done his duty.
3:15:48 > 3:15:53The infected sheep must now be consigned to the purifying flames!
3:15:53 > 3:15:59You may burn Brother Remigio, but you will not put a stop to the crimes!
3:15:59 > 3:16:06Other monks will meet their deaths here, and they also will have blackened fingers and tongues!
3:16:06 > 3:16:12Your Eminence, we Franciscans are as appalled as you by Brother William's outburst!
3:16:12 > 3:16:17ENVOY: Again we have seen that your theories protect heretics and lead to murder.
3:16:17 > 3:16:20The debate is concluded!
3:16:20 > 3:16:27It seems Brother William has relapsed into the errors of which he was formerly purged.
3:16:27 > 3:16:34Having sought yet again to shield a heretic from just punishment by the Inquisition,
3:16:34 > 3:16:40he will accompany me to Avignon for confirmation of my sentence by His Holiness Pope John.
3:16:54 > 3:16:56I'm right!
3:16:56 > 3:17:01'If only I could find the book and prove that Bernardo was wrong.
3:17:01 > 3:17:05'But the Antichrist was victorious again,
3:17:05 > 3:17:11'and nothing seemed to be able to hinder him further.'
3:17:48 > 3:17:54JORGE: When the pyres are lighted tonight, let the flames
3:17:54 > 3:17:57purify each of us in his own heart.
3:17:57 > 3:18:03Let us return to what was, and must be, the office of this abbey -
3:18:03 > 3:18:06the preservation of knowledge!

3:18:09 > 3:18:12not "search for"!
3:18:12 > 3:18:16Because there is no progress in the history of knowledge,
3:18:16 > 3:18:21merely a continuous and sublime recapitulation.
3:18:21 > 3:18:29Let us now praise the Almighty that the bloody-eyed and cloven-hoofed Antichrist
3:18:29 > 3:18:33has been purged from our sacred precincts,
3:18:33 > 3:18:37and our monastery has returned to peace.
3:18:45 > 3:18:53HE GASPS FOR BREATH It had the power of 1,000 scorpions! He told me...
3:18:53 > 3:18:58Who told you? His fingers and tongue are black as pitch, just as Brother William foretold!
3:18:58 > 3:19:00(Adso!)
3:19:12 > 3:19:19It's Brother Malachia! Malachia? Dear God! Not Malachia!
3:19:19 > 3:19:22Will it never end?
3:19:22 > 3:19:24Malachia!
3:19:34 > 3:19:37- William was right! He said... > - Yes! He knew!
3:19:37 > 3:19:44I, too, would have known had I been the murderer. Find William of Baskerville!
3:19:44 > 3:19:50- But we can't open the mirror! - Try pressing the first and seventh letters in "four".
3:19:50 > 3:19:55- But "four" only has four letters! - In Latin, Adso! "Quatuor"! Remember the inscription above the mirror.
3:19:55 > 3:20:00- But we have to press above an idol. - Not Latin "idolum", but the Greek "eidolon"!
3:20:00 > 3:20:05It means "image" or "reflection"! OUR reflection.
3:20:07 > 3:20:11- This way, Master! - No, THIS way, Adso!

3:21:04 > 3:21:06CLICK!
3:21:14 > 3:21:15(Come.)
3:21:40 > 3:21:43Good evening, Venerable Jorge.
3:21:50 > 3:21:54I have been expecting you these several days past, William.
3:21:54 > 3:21:58You must have flown to this chamber to reach it ahead of us.
3:21:58 > 3:22:01You have discovered many things
3:22:01 > 3:22:03since your arrival at this abbey,
3:22:03 > 3:22:09but the short route through the labyrinth is not among them.
3:22:09 > 3:22:12So, now. What is it that you want?
3:22:14 > 3:22:19I want to see the book in Greek that you said was never written -
3:22:19 > 3:22:26a book entirely devoted to comedy, which you hate as much as you hate laughter.
3:22:26 > 3:22:30I want to see what is probably the sole surviving copy
3:22:30 > 3:22:35of the second book of the Poetics of Aristotle.
3:22:35 > 3:22:42Ah, William, what a magnificent librarian you would have been!
3:22:42 > 3:22:46Here is your well-earned reward.
3:22:47 > 3:22:52Read it. Leaf through its secrets.
3:22:55 > 3:22:58You have won.
3:22:58 > 3:23:03# ..Kyrie
3:23:03 > 3:23:08# Eleison... # MAN SHOUTS AN ORDER
3:23:11 > 3:23:19- # ..Christe... # - Kyrie eleison. Christe eleison. Kyrie eleison.
3:23:19 > 3:23:24# ..Eleison... #
3:23:24 > 3:23:30"..We shall now discuss the way comedy stimulates our delight in the ridiculous
3:23:30 > 3:23:36"by using vulgar persons and taking pleasure from their defects."
3:23:36 > 3:23:39Carry on, William! Read it!
3:23:39 > 3:23:44- Master, please! We must hurry! - Is the light too dim for you?
3:23:44 > 3:23:47I'm sure the boy can read it.
3:23:47 > 3:23:51I would not want my faithful pupil to turn your poisoned pages.
3:23:51 > 3:23:55Not without the protection of a glove.
3:24:01 > 3:24:04The door! Quick! Before he shuts us in!
3:24:15 > 3:24:18(Stay! Stay!)
3:24:19 > 3:24:21Shh!

3:24:39 > 3:24:42# ..Christe... #
3:24:43 > 3:24:48- HIS VOICE ECHOES:- Venerable Brother! Many books speak of comedy.
3:24:48 > 3:24:51Why does this one fill you with such fear?
3:24:51 > 3:24:55- Because it is by Aristotle! > - Adso! This way!

3:25:14 > 3:25:16MONKS FALL SILENT
3:25:20 > 3:25:24Do you, Salvatore, renounce the Devil and embrace Jesus Christ
3:25:24 > 3:25:29- as your Lord and Saviour? - # Ninna nanna a sette e venti
3:25:29 > 3:25:33# Il bambino si addormenti... #
3:25:33 > 3:25:35SALVATORE CONTINUES TO SING
3:25:35 > 3:25:40- Do you, Remigio di Varagine, renounce the Devil and embrace...? - What for?
3:25:40 > 3:25:45It is better to die fast than to be in prison the rest of your life!
3:25:45 > 3:25:50The devil I renounce is YOU, Bernardo Gui!
3:25:54 > 3:25:58Do you renounce the Devil and embrace Jesus Christ?
3:26:03 > 3:26:07But what is so alarming about laughter?
3:26:07 > 3:26:12ECHOING: Laughter kills fear. Without fear, there can be no faith.
3:26:12 > 3:26:18Because without fear of the Devil, there is no more need of God!
3:26:19 > 3:26:24But you will not eliminate laughter by eliminating that book.
3:26:24 > 3:26:27No, to be sure!
3:26:27 > 3:26:31Laughter will remain the common man's recreation.
3:26:31 > 3:26:35But what will happen if, because of this book,
3:26:35 > 3:26:40learned men were to pronounce it permissible to laugh at everything?
3:26:40 > 3:26:43Can we laugh at God?
3:26:43 > 3:26:46The world would relapse into chaos!
3:26:46 > 3:26:51Therefore, I seal that which was not to be said
3:26:51 > 3:26:55in the tomb I become.

3:32:56 > 3:32:59Mas... Master!
3:33:00 > 3:33:02Adso!
3:36:00 > 3:36:03'I have never regretted my decision,
3:36:03 > 3:36:10'for I learned from my master much that was wise and good and true.
3:36:10 > 3:36:15'When at last we parted company, he gave me his eyeglasses.
3:36:15 > 3:36:20'I was still young, he said, but someday they would serve me well.
3:36:20 > 3:36:25'In fact, I am wearing them now as I write these lines.
3:36:25 > 3:36:30'Then he embraced me fondly, like a father, and sent me on my way.
3:36:30 > 3:36:35'I never saw him again, and know not what became of him.
3:36:35 > 3:36:38'But I pray always that God received his soul,
3:36:38 > 3:36:44'and forgave the many little vanities to which he was driven by his intellectual pride.
3:36:44 > 3:36:48'And yet, now that I am an old, old man,
3:36:48 > 3:36:54'I must confess that, of all the faces that appear to me out of the past,
3:36:54 > 3:36:57'the one I see most clearly is that of the girl,
3:36:57 > 3:37:03'of whom I've never ceased to dream these many long years.
3:37:03 > 3:37:08'She was the only earthly love of my life,
3:37:08 > 3:37:12'yet I never knew, nor ever learned...
3:37:12 > 3:37:14'her name.'
