Langdon, Sophie, and Teabing arrive at the Temple Church, a circular stone building whose design reflects the pagan tenets of simplicity and wholeness. Unfortunately, it is closed. Not to be deterred, Teabing knocks until an altar boy answers. Claiming to be escorting “Mr. and Mrs. Christopher Wren the Fourth” on a tour, Teabing pushes past the altar boy into the vestibule, presumptively to scatter a pinch of the original Wren’s ashes in the sanctuary (372). Confused but not wanting to risk the anger of his superior, the boy lets them in. As they survey the interior of the church, Teabing points out 10 crypts, each one containing a Knight Templar.

In a deserted alley near the Temple Church, Rémy climbs into the back of the limo with Silas. He tosses back two shots of vodka and takes out a wine opener from the limo’s wet bar. He unfolds the small knife and frees Silas from his bonds, apologizing for not doing it earlier. Like Silas, Rémy serves the Teacher. The Teacher has recruited Rémy to work for Teabing so Remy would have access to Teabing’s Grail research. Remy returns Silas’s pistol and pulls one of his own from the limo’s glove box.
