The film starts with Jacques Sauniere being chased by a hooded man called Silas, he demands to know where the Keystone in being kept and with a gun to his head Jacques tells him it is hidden in the church of Saint-Sulpice under the rose. Jacques is then shot dead but before he dies he manages to leave clues for his Granddaughter, Sophie to find. Also called to the murder scene is Professor
