Short filmTranscript
00:30Those look kind of like totem poles.
00:36Yeah, kind of.
00:37Ward off evil spirits?
00:48That's right.
00:49Looks like my father chose the right island to study primitive culture.
00:56Is the graveyard next to the church up there?
00:59Yes.
01:05You must be tired. I've got a room set for you at the inn.
01:08No, I'd rather stay in the rectory in my father's room.
01:13My father really loved this church, didn't he?
01:16Among other things. He was restoring it when he died.
01:21Where is your sister?
01:23You'll need her later. Why don't you change and I'll take you down to where your father is.
01:29Your father was a fine man. Really fine.
01:33You probably knew him better than I did.
01:37Don't feel badly. He understood.
01:40He used to say how he was digging into the past like an old snoop while you were building into the future.
01:46But he was very proud of you.
01:50Your father was getting into paganism, heathenism, and all the other things I once went in for.
01:55Probably still does.
01:57I just can't understand how he got killed like that.
02:00Like I told you in the letter, we don't know.
02:03Well, he just wasn't a careless man.
02:06We didn't even know that your father had found this place.
02:09I don't know.
02:10I don't know.
02:11I don't know.
02:12I don't know.
02:13I don't know.
02:14I don't know.
02:15I don't know.
02:17We didn't even know that your father had found this place.
02:20It's an old ruin that's been buried 600 years.
02:23The tomb itself is over 700 years old.
02:27He's under that.
02:30There was no way to get him out.
02:32I mean, we tried, but we couldn't budge it.
02:35Must weigh tons.
02:38The only thing I've been able to figure out is that these supports were old and about to give way,
02:42and your father brushed against one of them.
02:45What was he doing under there?
02:48I don't know.
02:50We never knew about this tomb.
02:52There's a maze of tunnels coming in and out of here.
02:57How do you know about them?
02:59Why do you keep it a secret from everyone?
03:03I'm afraid that's something we'll never know.
03:05And there's nothing we can do.
03:08We can bury him.
03:10I'm not going to leave him here.
03:16This is the heraldry of the Dauphins.
03:20Mm-hmm.
03:21King Louis VII chose it for his bride.
03:23Does this island ever French?
03:25No.
03:26But King Louis touched down here once in the middle of the Second Crusade,
03:30during the 13th century.
03:32As a matter of fact, that's why I'm here.
03:35I'm writing a historical novel about that crusade.
03:38Many are.
03:39I remain.
03:40It implies forever.
03:42Hannah, 1269.
03:46For the sake of the dead
03:49and the welfare of the living,
03:52let this tomb remain untouched and its occupant undisturbed
03:57until the coming of Christ.
