01:00Glory to God in the highest.
01:29And for all his mercies, we give thanks.
01:34I really shouldn't be doing this.
01:35Father, you must proceed.
01:37I wouldn't allow my child to be born a bastard.
01:43Do you, Guy de Bourdin, take Josephine Pontoise
01:46to be your wife to honor and cherish
01:49for as long as you live?
01:50I do.
01:52And do you, Josephine Pontoise, take Guy de Bourdin
01:58for your husband to honor and love for the rest of your life?
02:02I do.
02:03I hereby pronounce you man and wife.
02:12I made this myself for you, Josephine.
02:16If you ever doubt my love, read it and be reassured.
02:20I adore you and this child more than life itself.
02:28Father Louis, take her somewhere she will be safe.
02:41Josephine, you must take your child.
02:47Come, my child.
02:52What's the meaning of this?
02:54By what right?
02:55In the name of the revolution, de Bourdin,
02:59you and your aristocracy must die.
03:26Oh.
03:33Oh.
03:34Oh.
03:35Oh.
03:40Josephine.
03:46It's impossible.
03:47Her office hours are completely booked.
03:50Try next week.
03:52As if.
03:54Ancient studies.
03:56Yeah, he's here.
03:58Nicole Champhour.
04:00Nicole Champhour.
04:01Easy, Rover.
04:02Nicole, bonjour.
04:04How's everything in France?
04:06Did Professor Fox read my thesis yet?
04:08I gave it to her last night.
04:09She promised me she'd get to it.
04:11Nigel, please.
04:14I really need her help.
04:16I'll do what I can.
04:17I'll think of some way to pay you back.
04:21Get to go.
04:22I'll call you later.
04:23Bye.
04:26Pay me back.
04:29And Nicole would be?
04:32A graduate student.
04:34I see.
04:37She's a friend.
04:40I'm just trying to help her out.
04:43And what kind of help does she need?
04:46Nicole is researching the history of ancestral hope.
04:49Apparently it's about to be transformed into some jet-setter's resort.
04:52Local land barons selling out to Michael Barney.
04:55The mega-developer guy?
04:57Turning a village into a happening resort.
05:03Am I missing something?
05:04There are families who have lived in this village for hundreds of years, Claudia.
05:08They'd be displaced.
05:09Listen, honey bun.
05:10Sydney hasn't got time to go off on another one of her adventures, you hear me?
05:13She's been cancelling appointments since the beginning of the semester
05:17and I've just finished rescheduling the last one.
05:19She's booked solid.
05:21Sydney stays put.
05:22Got it?
05:23Nigel.
05:24Nicole stumbled onto something big.
05:26Nigel and I are going to France.
05:32If we find the wedding vows the priest signed,
05:34it'll prove that Guy's the father to Josephine's baby,
05:36thus making her child rightful heir to the village.
05:38And the current de Bourdain can be legally restrained from selling out to Michael Barney?
05:43I'm sorry.
05:44I'm sorry.
05:45Fire me if you want, but I am not pushing back these appointments one more time.
05:49Come on, Claudia, you can do it.
05:50No.
05:52Well, just tell him Sydney went out of town.
05:54Butt out, lover boy.
05:56I can't.
05:57Why not?
05:58Dean Bernson, the new assistant dean.
06:00He's after your relic-hunting ass.
06:03What are you talking about?
06:04His office called to verify all the cancelled classes, the missed conferences.
06:08He's ambitious, Sydney, and dangerous.
06:11You can't go.
06:12Well, thanks for looking out for me, Claudia, but I have to try and help these people.
06:17You're clever.
06:18I am?
06:19Yeah.
06:20I'm sure you'll figure out a way to cover my relic-hunting butt.
06:27Have fun, honey bun.
06:43Nigel.
06:45Nicole.
06:46Thank you so much for coming, Sydney.
06:48I can't tell you how much this means to me.
06:50No problem.
06:51I've arranged for us to meet Father George first thing tomorrow.
06:54He's the priest at the same church Guy and Josephine were married at 200 years ago.
06:58Well, hopefully we're married.
07:00Yes.
07:01I'm afraid this is the only place I could get a room.
07:04Looks charming.
07:05And I could only get one room.
07:08One room?
07:10Um, that's all that was left.
07:12One room?
07:13For the three of us.
07:14I'm sorry.
07:15Not a problem.
07:16Not a problem.
07:18We'll make it work.
07:19We'll make it work.
07:23Nigel, luggage.
07:40Oh.
07:42Long day.
07:44Long day.
07:46It's 11 o'clock our time, Syd.
07:49Why don't you take a rest?
07:52Yeah, I might do that.
07:55And you?
07:56Actually, that sounds like a good idea.
07:58I think I'll take a...
08:02Jog.
08:03You're not tired?
08:05No.
08:06I mean, she's a regular machine.
08:09Yeah, they call me the Terminator.
08:19I think I'll go change.
08:37I still can't believe you convinced her to help me, Nigel.
08:42I thought it was a worthwhile cause.
08:48I'll never forget this, Nigel.
08:58Before, in class, I'd look at you, but I never really saw you.
09:04Do you know what I mean?
09:06What do you mean?
09:08I don't know.
09:10I don't know.
09:12I don't know.
09:14I don't know.
09:16I don't know.
09:18I don't know.
09:20I don't know.
09:22I don't know.
09:24I don't know.
09:26I don't know.
09:28I don't know.
09:30I don't know.
09:32I don't know.
09:33I don't know.
10:03I don't know.
10:14Sydney.
10:15Sydney.
10:17What happened to you?
10:19Believe it or not, something good.
10:21We're on to something here, because someone definitely doesn't want us here.
10:25Gilbert Pontoise, beloved son of Josephine.
10:30Orphaned by fate, adopted by the village of Saint-Agnes-sur-Loire.
10:36Translation was perfect.
10:38Gilbert's mother, Josephine, died in childbirth.
10:42He was raised by the villagers.
10:44When he died, Gilbert left all of his possessions to the village, as a way of saying thanks.
10:50Well, if he really was a debardon heir, then those possessions would include the entire village.
10:55Father George, would it be possible to look at the church records?
10:59We were looking for a marriage from 1789.
11:02No, I'm afraid the church archives were lost during the revolution.
11:06Lost?
11:07The peasants believed the clergy to be in collusion with the nobles.
11:11They wanted to burn down the church.
11:14Oh, Father Louis hid the records.
11:16Yes, and other treasures.
11:18Let me guess, they were never found.
11:20That's right, he died before he could tell anyone where he hid them.
11:27Mass is at seven, if you're interested.
11:35I think it's time we paid Vincent de Bordain a visit.
11:38Aristocratic families often kept their own records.
11:41It's not in his interest.
11:42I'm not expecting him to help.
11:44I just want to see if he's hiding anything.
12:13Oh.
12:33Um, we would like to see him.
12:35Yes?
12:38Um, Mr. de Bordain?
12:41That Father George's suggestion.
12:47Very well.
12:49Wait here.
12:56It's nice to know Lurch is alive and well.
13:03Yes, as I received the sketches and the blueprints yesterday.
13:07Tell Mr. Barney it all looks good.
13:10All right. Au revoir.
13:15Vincent de Bordain.
13:17You are reporters?
13:18Historians, actually.
13:21I must tell you I'm late for an appointment in Paris.
13:24But if Father George suggested we talk, please.
13:27Well, I'll be brief.
13:29Your proposed development has generated a great deal of interest in your family history.
13:34It's a very rich history we are quite proud of.
13:37Are there any de Bordain family records?
13:38Certainly.
13:40Would it be possible to see them?
13:42I'm afraid they are quite old and delicate.
13:45Oh, we're used to handling ancient documents.
13:48Excuse me.
13:50Please, do not touch that.
13:52This is an original, 1855, Massante.
13:57Uh, 1859?
13:59No, 55.
14:01I'm afraid you're mistaken.
14:03Massante didn't write any seafaring essays until after the death of his wife.
14:06But I'm sure he makes a mention of the dates.
14:09Oh.
14:11My mistake. I'm sure it was 1855.
14:18There is a story about Guy de Bordain.
14:21Guy de Bordain died, a bachelor,
14:24in a sword fight with anti-clerics during the Revolution.
14:27I can assure you, he was never married.
14:31I never said anything about a marriage.
14:33I never said anything about a marriage.
14:36Who was he supposed to have married?
14:40Good day.
14:44I appreciate your time.
15:04Ego!
15:08This is the lawyer who is helping us.
15:11You have to be Professor Fuchs.
15:13Ego!
15:15We are happy you are coming to help us.
15:18The pigs!
15:20Oh, Hugo is the little protective of the village.
15:24I grew up here.
15:26My family lives here.
15:28I'm the only child.
15:30I grew up here.
15:32My family lives here.
15:34Five generations here.
15:36Do you know what five is?
15:39Cinq.
15:40The pigs!
15:42Oh, if we can find documentation
15:45that Gilbert Pontoise is the rightful heir of Guy de Bordain,
15:48Ego will take the necessary legal action.
15:51I see.
15:53We will be very grateful for whatever you can do to help us
15:57to stop the desecration of our village.
16:01By the pigs!
16:07I go now.
16:09I love his passion, don't you?
16:21Dean Benson.
16:23Where's Sydney?
16:25She promised to be at the Regents' meeting this morning.
16:27Yeah, well, she really wanted to be there,
16:31but she's sick.
16:34Really sick with that whole flu thing that's going around now.
16:39So she's home.
16:41Good. I'll call her there.
16:43No!
16:46Excuse me?
16:50Well, you know how dedicated she is.
16:53She came in, but she's...
16:56She's...
17:02Actually, I was just going to check on her.
17:05Would you mind?
17:11Syd, how are you doing?
17:12How are you doing?
17:24Now would not be the best time.
17:32These people are a problem.
17:35We have dealt with problems before.
17:38I don't think there will be too much trouble taking care of this one.
17:43Are you sure Sydney's all right?
17:46Yeah.
17:49I feel kind of bad.
17:52Don't feel bad.
17:54She's alone, Nigel.
17:56She likes to be alone.
18:02I can help you.
18:04No, I can't.
18:06I can't.
18:08I can't.
18:10I...
18:12I can't help it, Nigel. I feel weird.
18:14Weird?
18:16Us in here and her by herself.
18:19Nicole, Sydney, she's an adventurer.
18:24She's a breed apart from anything else we know.
18:27When she gets to a new place, she likes to explore every nook and cranny.
18:32My guess is right now she's strolling down some quaint little back alley in complete heaven.
18:37I don't think so.
18:39I know so.
18:55Pardon.
19:07Change that one.
19:12It's probably the wine.
19:14The wine. Right.
19:18We've got to break into the de Bourdin chateau.
19:21It was driving me crazy.
19:23We know he's definitely hiding something and it's probably got something to do with the family archives.
19:27But it's a big chateau, right?
19:29Right.
19:30Then I saw your bottle of wine.
19:31The wine cellar.
19:32A constant environment, well concealed.
19:34We'll start first thing in the morning.
19:35Well no, Vincent de Bourdin is in Paris right now.
19:37I say we strike while the fire's hot.
19:39She's right and that's the perfect time.
19:41There's only little to contend with.
19:50You ready?
19:51One, two, three.
20:36Why don't you go that way?
20:37I'll check in here.
20:38Right.
20:51Hello?
20:52Put her on.
20:53Not great timing, Claudia.
20:55Now!
20:57I'm sorry.
20:59I'm sorry.
21:00I'm sorry.
21:01I'm sorry.
21:02I'm sorry.
21:03I'm sorry.
21:04Now!
21:06Guess so.
21:08Hello?
21:09Claudia?
21:10I can't play this game anymore.
21:11He's on my case.
21:12Who's on your case?
21:13Dean Bernson.
21:14I lied.
21:15I told him that you were sick and that's why you haven't been around.
21:17Good work.
21:18Keep him on the hook.
21:19I can't anymore.
21:20I told him you were on the other line and he started getting really threatening and said that he'd hold until you got off.
21:25Claudia, there's no way I can...
21:26Hello, Sydney?
21:28Hello, Dean.
21:30I can hardly hear you.
21:31What's wrong with your voice?
21:32Laryngitis.
21:34I thought Claudia said you had the flu.
21:36I do.
21:38It's getting worse.
21:45As a matter of fact, I'm on my way to the doctor right now.
21:47I'll call you back.
21:48No, wait.
22:04Okay.
22:22Let's keep looking.
22:35Sydney?
22:49This lock.
22:51You've picked hundreds of locks.
22:53See this small hole above the keyhole?
22:56Anyone tampers with this, it emits a gas, one that'll probably kill us instantly.
23:00The only way we're gonna get into this lock is with the key.
23:04Any thoughts on where it might be?
23:07My guess?
23:08It's in Paris with Vincent de Bourdain.
23:16It appears Mr. de Bourdain is not in his room.
23:25What's wrong with this one?
23:27Nothing that an hour won't fix.
23:28It's magnetized and complicated.
23:30Besides, there's an easier way.
23:34Oh, thank God.
23:36Parlez-vous English?
23:38A little, madame.
23:40I went to take a shower, came out to get some ice.
23:42The door closed behind me and locked.
23:45Please, can you...
23:46Great.
23:49Merci, thank you so much.
24:03Nigel!
24:10Why does this seem more complicated than just picking the lock?
24:12Let's look for the key, all right?
24:19Yes?
24:20It's Hugo.
24:30I came by for an update.
24:33How are they doing?
24:35Sidney and Nigel?
24:37And the quest against the pig that would destroy your village?
24:40And the lives that we all stole?
24:42Hugo, Hugo, the other guests...
24:44I apologize.
24:46No.
24:47No?
24:48Oh, they went to Paris.
24:50Paris?
24:51Oh, yes, something about a key.
24:55Sidney?
24:56I found this under the bed.
25:07This has to be it.
25:11Put this back where you found it. Let's get out of here.
25:18What are you doing here?
25:22Taking a... shower?
25:48Ah!
25:51Much more complicated.
26:01Now what?
26:03My clothes are gone.
26:18What?
26:36I can't believe he's that dumb.
26:47What?
27:05My dad's family ledger.
27:07Years 1785 to 89.
27:18Just after the marriage between Guy and Josephine was supposed to have taken place,
27:22the D'Bordains made a huge donation,
27:24unlike anything else in the ledger, to a Father Louis.
27:27A payoff?
27:28Maybe. Hush money to pretend that the marriage never existed.
27:31What do you think, Hugo? Is there enough to stop them?
27:34I don't know.
27:38Pigs!
27:42Father George seems to know a lot about Father Louis.
27:45Father Louis, maybe he knows about the payment.
27:50Well, Father Louis was not only wise and brave.
27:53He was shrewd.
27:55If he took money, it would have been to rebuild the chapel that was damaged in the Revolution.
28:01There is so much we do not know.
28:03I see.
28:05The tragedy is he died before the restoration was complete.
28:08Thank God he finished his window.
28:12His window?
28:13The story has it that he personally designed it himself.
28:33Innoculus Salvatore Inverness Salutem.
28:39Through the eyes of the Savior, restoration will be found.
28:44You said Father Louis died before he told anyone where he hid the treasures and records.
28:50That is correct.
28:56What are you doing?
28:58Through the eyes of the Savior.
29:14It seems Father Louis is talking to us from the grave.
29:24What are you talking about?
29:26I think I know where Father Louis hid everything.
29:28You know where the document is to save the town?
29:31I think so.
29:32Then I must try to make the court delay the signing of the contract by the pigs!
29:44Ancient Studies.
29:46He's coming here?
29:48Yeah, yeah. I'll let him know that you called.
30:07Sydney!
30:14Sydney!
30:16It's Dean Britson!
30:20Sydney?
30:22Yes?
30:23What are you doing?
30:24A tribal dance.
30:26I learned it from a Batuu witch doctor.
30:28It's my last hope.
30:29This is the worst cold I've ever had.
30:32Ah-choo!
30:34Ah-choo!
30:36Ah-choo!
30:38Ah-choo!
30:40Ah-choo!
30:41Ah-choo!
30:56People must have lived in these caves for centuries.
31:00Here.
31:11Ah-choo!
31:42Ah-choo!
31:53A chapel.
31:54It's probably been like this since Father Louis used it to minister to the peasants.
31:58A fresh cup.
32:00People still come here.
32:02Whatever Father Louis may have hidden might have already been found.
32:09Take a look at this.
32:12It's identical to the stained glass window.
32:15What is Father Louis trying to tell us?
32:21Maybe there's something behind here.
32:22Syd, I'll do it.
32:24You sure?
32:26Syd.
32:41Ah-choo!
33:11Ah-choo!
33:42Let's split up. I'll take this way.
33:45Right.
33:58What's wrong?
34:12Ah-choo!
34:22Ah-choo!
34:23Ah-choo!
34:33Birth certificates.
34:37Baptisms.
34:39The marriage document.
34:41To you, Josephine Pontoise de Bourdin.
34:45I shall always be true, I shall always love you, and our child, so help me God, your beloved husband, Guy de Bourdin.
34:51Signed and dated by Father Louis.
34:53We have approved a step for development.
34:55We'll never see the light of day.
35:03Hugo?
35:04I'm sorry. I'm weak.
35:06I'm sorry. I'm weak. I'm broke.
35:10I'm swine.
35:11Oh, no, no, no, Hugo, you're smart.
35:13And now you're rich.
35:15I'm afraid I have to go with Hugo on this one.
35:17Get rid of them and destroy the documents.
35:20You didn't say anything about killing anyone.
35:22I have no option.
35:24I sincerely doubt that I could buy them like I bought you.
35:29Actually, I think you might find we can be quite a bargain.
35:32Shut up.
35:33No. Killing, no.
35:35Oh, no, Hugo, now you are not being so smart.
35:37Your protestations are making you sound like a liability.
35:41And come to think of it, you have outlived your usefulness.
35:46Kill him, too.
35:50Hugo, you know what I call these people?
35:55Bitch! Disgusting bitch!
36:02Come on, let's get out!
36:05Come on!
36:36You think they got through?
36:37No way.
36:41It took a lot of guts.
36:42I was stupid, but not a pig.
36:45No signal.
36:46Huh? Time to find another way out of here.
36:49The only way out of here was through that tunnel.
36:52Maybe. Maybe not.
36:56Bats and mammals.
36:58They need air.
36:59Water.
37:00It looks like they're headed in another direction.
37:06Why don't you check this way?
37:14You can't blame me for this.
37:16I was so carried away wanting to stop the Burdon.
37:20Nicole, we will get out of here.
37:24How can you be so sure?
37:27Because I've been in situations like this before.
37:30Many times.
37:32Many times.
37:37And because Sidney's here.
38:03They flew out of someplace up here.
38:17I see a... there's a tunnel of some kind.
38:20There's got to be a way out.
38:23Oh, great.
38:25Sidney! What's wrong?
38:27Small problem. There's more than one tunnel now.
38:30We're trapped.
38:42There's a strange sound.
38:46What is it?
38:48I don't know.
38:50What's that sound?
39:21That's Michael Barney's car. We're going to be too late.
39:29They're not going to open it.
39:33You don't think...
39:36Couldn't be that stupid.
39:50Oh!
39:54Amazing.
40:01Stop!
40:04I don't know how much you know about your business partner, Mr. Barney,
40:07but he doesn't have the right to sell what isn't his.
40:09This document proves that the village legally belonged to Gilbert Pontoise de Bourdin.
40:14It bequeaths it to the villagers and their descendants.
40:21Be out in a moment.
40:23Right. Out in a moment.
40:26Out in a moment.
40:28Are you sure Sidney won't be coming back?
40:31Oh, uh, you don't know Sidney when it comes to poker.
40:34The only way we'll see her before sunup is if she loses the shirt off her back.
40:39You know what I like best about Englishmen, Nigel?
40:43When it comes to women, they don't take things for granted.
40:48You're, uh... It's...
40:51This is good.
41:17It's not right. Huh?
41:20I... I can't help thinking about Guy and Josephine.
41:24Huh?
41:26Their passion was born out of love, ours is out of lust.
41:31You think?
41:35Oh, let's not chip in it.
41:39I could, um, come back and visit.
41:45And, um, we could, um, get to know each other.
41:49If you'd like that.
41:58Full house?
42:00Pair of threes.
42:05Some families have lived in Saint-Agnes-sur-Loire for centuries,
42:08and the discovery of the artifacts, which were hidden in a cave
42:11by a local priest to protect them from the anti-clerics during the French Revolution,
42:15was almost as important as saving the town from the billionaire developer Michael Barney's bulldozers.
42:22Oh, I've got to pick up Nicole from the airport. I'll see you guys later.
42:25Must be the Jerry Lewis syndrome. There is no accounting for French taste.
42:31Dean Bernson!
42:33You look like you're feeling better.
42:36Much better.
42:38Oh, I probably caught it from you.
42:43I'm desperate. You've got to help me.
42:45Help you? How?
42:48The batu dance.
42:51Um, of course she'll help you. I'll just turn on the music.
