Crimson Rivers II: Angels of the Apocalypse

Labaudieu Abbey - Lorraine, France

Not that room.

That's number 13. It's unlucky. Nobody gets that room.

I'm not superstitious Father.

A new brother has taken a room not assigned to him.

JEAN RENO

CRIMSON RIVERS II "ANGELS OF THE APOCALYPSE"

Hello, Father. Insp. Niemans from Paris.

What's this about?

Holiday donations Early this year.

Step aside. I'll handle it.

Excuse us. We're still in shock.

We don't want any bad press.

Me neither.

Must they come, too?

Which way?

Follow me.

Let's go, gentlemen.

Take a DNA sample.

Where can I wash my hands?

They won't answer you.

They've taken a vow of silence.

You're in a Montanist abbey.

Never heard of that I suppose.

Montanus…

a preacher from the second or third century.

Very impressive.

I thought your order died out long ago.

We survived as best we could until the ninth century in Lombardy.

Charlemagne's grandson built this monastery…

our last and only refuge.

- How many of you in all? - Thirty-two.

Anyone ever stray?

None.

When was the wall redone?

A week ago by a couple of local masons.

Is there a file?

No we don't keep archives.

Tell me…

why are the monks' nails so dirty?

The vegetable patch requires much attention…

especially with this erratic weather.

Excuse me have you seen a little boy?

- Hey, little guy, what are you up to? - Kevin! What are you doing?

Thank you, sir.

You scared me!

- You have a call. - Thanks, I'll get it.

Hello? Hello? Hello?

I don't want to hear it.

Get me a religion expert right away.

Thank you.

Niemans, the DNA came in.

Oxygen in the blood means he was walled in alive.

Inspector this will be your office.

We don't have his name.

GENOTYPEXPLORER

REPORTED MISSING

Philippe Esaquidar.

Is that him?

It was. Print it.

Agrarian plot, unit of measure three letters.

Hectometer?

Three letters!

- Can I sleep? - Sure.

We've already been here 19 hours I'm just goofing around, and you screw up my wrist.

The dealer's got a problem or he's moved.

It's not his pad. It's his girlfriend's.

Look.

What are you doing?

It's been three weeks in this hole 19 hours on her own…

I'll handle it. Then we go.

Don't screw it up.

Hold it, we've been tailing him for six months.

Six months is too long.

Penelope, is that right?

Sorry to disturb you. Emilio gave me your address.

I've been out there for hours and I'm freezing.

So I thought the lovely Penelope…

would be kind enough to offer me some coffee…

just to warm up.

I don't have coffee. I have tea.

Tea it is.

Have a seat.

Have you known Emilio long?

I don't know, seven years?

- I don't have sugar. - No problem.

Thank you.

Don't know why I let you in. Emilio would never allow it.

He's always been paranoid.

Have you known him long?

We've done some business together.

If Emilio wasn't so jealous…

I'd screw you right now.

You're sweet.

I bet you're a good lay.

- He's not going to do it? - You're such an idiot.

I don't believe this.

Think Emilio will be here soon?

He'll be here. You've got to go.

And I'll get laid.

Open up!

What the hell's up?

Dimwits see anyone enter the building?

Nobody. Nothing in sight.

Open this door!

What are you doing son of a bitch?

I said never let anyone in. Bitch!

Do it again I'll kill you!

Who the hell are you, asshole? A cop?

Don't move! Damn it!

Let's see your hands! Don't move, asshole!

Get up and get moving!

If you don't mind repeating the same thing inside, and in French.

Philippe was my oldest brother.

He wasn't a drinker and didn't go out a lot.

He was a child prodigy.

Until he went off the deep end.

He was walled up like Nostradamus.

Do you know why Nostradamus was buried in a wall?

No.

Because he didn't want people trampling on his tomb.

Do you think your brother…

Did he want…

He was nuts but not that nuts.

He wanted to suffer like Christ. I guess he got his wish.

Why did you speak to me in German before?

No reason.

They're buying us out.

They constantly offer to buy my place.

It's a chance to start over somewhere else.

What's the point?

Judgment Day is almost here.

At least that's what my brother said.

Was it long that he held…

such strange ideas?

Ever since he met his master…

his light.

Does this light have a name?

Jesus.

Two steaks got lost in the forest.

It's night. When one steak turns around nobody's there.

Suddenly the other steak appears.

Where the hell were you?

I was grounded.

I don't get it.

Shit!

Where the hell did he come from?

Are you okay? Can you hear me?

- I didn't see him coming. - Shit, he looks like Jesus.

It was safer on the cross!

Try not to move. We'll get you to a hospital. Don't worry.

Park the car.

Have mercy!

Where are you going?

Sir, can you hear me? Do you understand me?

Did someone hurt you? Have you been hurt?

Try to calm down!

Can't I take you to the hospital?

Sir, I can help. I'm a cop, look.

Have mercy!

Calm down.

Call an ambulance!

Calm down. Try to calm down.

Lord!

I can help. I'm a cop.

Lord!

Father!

Come to me!

Lord!

- They're coming. - Who?

- They're here! - Who's here?

What do we do, Reda?

That's not a nail it's a 9mm.

Call an ambulance.

What the hell is this?

Would you cool it? He's in the hospital.

Want a beer, Reda?

FINGERPRINT ANALYSIS

IDENTITY UNKNOWN

Hello. Insp. Niemans.

- What do you want? - I would like to talk to you.

If you're looking for my husband I've had no news for three months.

Not a word, not a sign. Nothing.

Excuse me.

Turn off the TV Sebastien.

I met Mr. Michel Esaquidar Philippe's brother.

A friend of your husband's I believe.

The TV, Sebastien!

Haven't seen him for ages. That's fine with me.

We found Philippe Esaquidar's body yesterday morning.

- He's dead? - Plastered in a monastery wall.

Go play in your room children.

I knew there'd be trouble.

The monastery's cursed.

Everyone around here knew but they wouldn't listen.

Who are "they"?

Listen, if you want me to find your husband before he's hurt…

then tell me everything.

It's Andrew who dragged him into this.

Andrew who?
