CHAPTERS 81-82:

1) What were 2 things that Teabing expected when his

plane landed at Biggin Hill airport? Sir Leigh Teabing paid
Biggin Hill not only for a private hangar but a "per landing fee" for his
frequent arrivals and departures. The custom-built Jaguar stretch
limousine that he kept in his hangar was to be fully gassed, polished,
and the day's London Times laid out on the back seat.
2) What happened when Teabing's plane landed that
made the police so angry? rather than braking and turning into
the terminal, the jet coasted calmly past the access lane and continued
on toward Teabing's hangar in the distance.
3) How did Teabing react when he got off the plane? He
sounded more bewildered than concerned.
4) Why would Teabing not let the police on his plane?
"No you won't, Inspector. This is private property and until you have a
search warrant, you will stay off my plane. I am offering you a
reasonable option here. Mr. Edwards can perform the inspection."
5) Why did the British police let Teabing and Remy
leave? "Let them go," the inspector ordered. "We received a bad tip."
6) How did Langdon and Sophie get into the limo? With
the police closing in fast, Langdon and Sophie dragged the monk down
the gangway to ground level and out of sight behind the limousine.
Then the jet engines had roared again, rotating the plane and
completing its turn as the police cars came skidding into the hangar.
7) Why does Teabing think that the church they are
looking for is on Fleet Street? he'd come across numerous
references in his Priory research
8) What is different about this church? "The church is
round. The Templars ignored the traditional Christian cruciform layout
and built a perfectly circular church in honor of the sun."
9) Why does Langdon and Sophie say that 'they are
invisible'? The Kent police would tell Fache the plane was empty,
 and Fache would have to assume they were still in France. We are
invisible. Leigh's little stunt had just bought them a lot of time.
10) What is Sophie asking Robert about his opinion in
regards to what they may find? "What do you think we should
do with the Sangreal documents if we ever find them?"

CHAPTERS 83-84:

1) How was Teabing trying to get them into the church

before it was actually open to the public? "As you are no
doubt aware, I am escorting Mr. and Mrs. Christopher Wren the
Fourth."
2) What did Sophie show the alter boy for proof? a small
cylinder wrapped in protective fabric.
3) Why did the alter boy finally decide to let them in?
Maybe Father Knowles had simply forgotten these family members
were coming
4) How were the Knights Templar churches the 'first
ATM's'? The Templars invented the concept of modern banking. For
European nobility, traveling with gold was perilous, so the Templars
allowed nobles to deposit gold in their nearest Temple Church and
then draw it from any other Temple Church across Europe. All they
needed was proper documentation.
5) Why did Langdon think that they had found the right
place? In London lies a knight a Pope interred.

Langdon felt shaky as he inched deeper into the circular room.

This had to be the place.

6) Why did Remy untie Silas? "I had wanted to free you
earlier," the servant apologized, "but it was impossible. With the police
arriving at Château Villette, and then at Biggin Hill airport, this was the
first possible moment. You understand, don't you, Silas?" To free him.
7) Why did Remy live with Teabing? to access all of Sir
Leigh Teabing's research.
8) What does the pilot have to do for Fache to keep his
license? Open the safe
9) Why does Bishop Aringarosa call Fache? "I am deeply
concerned. I have changed my plans."

CHAPTER 85:

1) What did Sophie recognize about the 10th tomb?

frowning at the tenth tomb. "We seem to be missing an entire knight."
2) What did the alter boy inform them about the 'tombs'
they were looking at? "These are not tombs."
3) Why did the alter boy wet himself? The prim man in the
tuxedo calmly produced a very small revolver, which he aimed directly
at the boy's forehead
CHAPTERS 86-87:

1) Why does Robert say that Silas wants to find the

Holy Grail more than he does? "You're wrong. You want it
much more. You've proven you're willing to kill for it."
2) Why was Remy not to reveal himself? he could see Silas
was uncertain how to handle the situation.
3) Why was Remy willing to help The Teacher? The
cryptex was to be Rémy's ticket to freedom and wealth.
4) How does Teabing react to seeing Remy? Sir Leigh
Teabing's heart practically stalled to see Rémy aiming a gun at him.
5) Why was Remy taking Teabing? Rémy laughed. "I don't
think so. He and I have such a nice history. Besides, he still might
prove useful."
6) List one reason why Andre Vernet was such a
'model citizen'. No police record—not even a parking ticket.
Educated at prep school and the Sorbonne, he had a cum laude
degree in international finance.
7) What did Collet and the other investigators find in
the barn? Nestled against the far wall sat an elaborate computer
workstation—two tower CPUs, a flat-screen video monitor with
speakers, an array of hard drives, and a multichannel audio console
that appeared to have its own filtered power supply.

CHAPTERS 88-89:

1) Why did it NOT surprise Langdon that Remy was

involved? Whoever was pursuing the Grail had recruited someone
on the inside.
2) What is the only way that Langdon has any chance
to help Teabing? it was essential that he find the tomb first.
3) Why were they going to King's College? to take the tube
to nearby King's College, which was renowned for its electronic
theological database. The ultimate research tool, Langdon had heard.
Instant answers to any religious historical question.
4) Why was Fache apologizing to Sophie? "I made a
terrible mistake tonight. Robert Langdon is innocent. All charges
against him have been dropped. Even so, both of you are in danger.
You need to come in."
5) How did Sophie react to Fache's orders? Sophie's jaw
fell slack. She had no idea how to respond. Fache was not a man who
apologized for anything.
6) Why was Fache skeptical of Vernet's claim as to
why he wanted to recover the stolen wooden box? "Mr.
Vernet, my men have done some checking into your background and
your interests. You are obviously a man of great culture and
refinement. I would imagine you are a man of honor, as well. As am I.
That said, I give you my word as commanding officer of the Police
Judiciaire that your box, along with your bank's reputation, are in the
safest of hands."

CHAPTERS 90-92:

1) Who were bugged? Jacques Saunière was being

bugged. Prominent people.
2) What did they learn about the bug in Sauniere's
office? The knight sitting on Saunière's desk!
3) What did The Teacher say to Silas about
Remy? "You must believe that I would much prefer to receive the
keystone from you—a man of God rather than a criminal—but Rémy
must be dealt with. He disobeyed my orders and made a grave mistake
that has put our entire mission at risk."
4) Why does Remy feel bad for Silas? The Teacher used
you, Silas.
And your bishop is a pawn.
5) What is compartmentalized cryptography? When an
intelligence agency intercepted a code containing sensitive data,
cryptographers each worked on a discrete section of the code. This
way, when they broke it, no single cryptographer possessed the entire
deciphered message.
6) Why did the librarian agree to help Sophie and
Langdon? she felt intrigued and found herself pondering the verse
carefully. "You are friends with Leigh Teabing, you are in England, and
you are looking for a knight." She folded her hands. "I can only assume
you are on a Grail quest."
7) Why did Sophie decide to give the rest of the riddle
to the librarian? To have her figure out who the knight
is and where he’s buried.
