Spoilers ahead
A man, identified as Jacques Saunière, is relentlessly chased by a mysterious hooded figure known as Silas in the breathtaking Grand Gallery of the Louvre, located in Paris. Silas, who is later revealed to be affiliated with an ultra-conservative Catholic sect called Opus Dei, is intent on locating the Priory’s Clef De Voute, or “keystone.” This keystone’s existence poses a significant threat to the very foundations of the Roman Catholic Church by potentially exposing a devastating secret. After a tense confrontation, Saunière admits under duress that the key is hidden in the sacristy of the Church of Saint-Sulpice, “beneath the Rose,” before Silas fatally shoots him in the stomach.
