During the events of The Ninth Gate (1999) played by James Russo
Dean Corso goes to Bernie's bookstore and shows him the four volume Ibarra edition of Don Quixote that he purchased from the Old Man's family. They then agree to split the profit from selling it to a Swiss buyer. Later, Dean asks Bernie to hide Boris Balkan's copy of The Nine Gates for him. Dean returns and finds Bernie dead and hung by one leg in his store.
