:59:05
A spot of blue paint.
:59:08
Yes, but a unique smudge
of blue...
:59:12
blended by your finest
illuminator, brother Adelmo...
:59:14
who possessed this parchment
before Venantius.
:59:17
How do we know that?
Because those notes overrun...
:59:21
Adelmo's blue smudge,
and not vice-versa.
:59:25
Brother William...
:59:28
this abbey is enshrouded
in a terrifying mystery.
:59:32
Yet, I detect nothing,
in your obscure dissertation...
:59:36
that sheds any light upon it.
:59:41
Adso, the light.
:59:46
Someone was at great pains
to conceal a secret...
:59:50
of the first magnitude.
:59:53
The calligraphy is, without
question, left-handed.
:59:56
The only left-handed member of
your community is... or rather was...
1:00:00
brother Berengar,
the assistant librarian.
1:00:04
Now what kind of secret knowledge
would he have been privy to?
1:00:09
- I feel you're about to tell me.
- Books. Restricted books.
1:00:14
Spiritually dangerous books.
1:00:18
Everyone here knew of
the assistant's passion...
1:00:21
for handsome boys.
When the beautiful Adelmo...
1:00:23
wanted to read such a
forbidden book...
1:00:25
Berengar offered him the
key to its whereabouts...
1:00:29
enciphered on that parchment...
1:00:33
in exchange for unnatural caresses.
1:00:36
Enough, brother William!
1:00:38
Adelmo submitted to
Berengar's lustful advances.
1:00:42
But afterwards, wracked by remorse,
he wandered desperate...
1:00:45
in the graveyard, where
he met the Greek translator.
1:00:49
- How could you know this?
- There was a witness.
1:00:52
The hunchback.
1:00:54
Who saw Adelmo giving
this parchment to Venantius...
1:00:59
and running towards
the small tower...
