The Da Vinci Code 100-200

Langdon believes that the Mona Lisa became famous because Da Vinci said it was his masterpiece and carried it everywhere he went. At the museum Langdon and Sophie found blood on the Mona Lisa and on the floor beneath it. Langdon said the message the blood says on the Mona Lisa stands for female worshipping religions in the Catholic religion. Landon is then arrested while Sophie hides behind a bench. Langdon is taken captive by Claude Guorard. Sophie and Langdon escape the museum in her car. While in her car, they try to formulate a plan for sure fire escape. They then go to the station to get tickets for the next train out of Paris. Sophie and Langdon buy two tickets and get in a waiting taxi. Langdon discovers an address written on the back of a key. They head toward that address. Fache tells Collet that the train tickets Sophie bought were probably decoys. He decides to alert Interpol to their flight. Sophie then starts to ask Landon questions while in the taxi. Langdon then tells her of documents that were found in a ruined temple. Since then, the documents have made their way around the globe are now hidden in an unknown place. Langdon tells Sophie that the documents and the secret they corroborate are commonly known as the Holy Grail. Sophie realizes that their cabbie is about to turn them in. Holding him at gunpoint, she forces him out of his cab and makes Langdon take the wheel. Langdon can’t drive a stick shift, but they manage to get away. Sophie takes the wheel, and they continue driving toward the address written on the key. As Langdon looks at the key, he thinks about the equal-armed cross engraved on it. The cross is very similar to the symbol used by the Knights Templar, the guardians of the Holy Grail. Sophie wonders if the key is to the Grail itself, but Langdon thinks it unlikely that Sophie’s grandfather was so high up in the hierarchy of the Priory of Sion that he had access such classified information. They finally reach the address on the back of the key. It is the Depository Bank of Zurich, a Swiss bank. In the Depository Bank of Zurich, Sophie and Langdon use the key to get through security.
