00:00:34No, no, please!
00:00:35I'm gonna be no more!
00:00:41No! No, please!
00:00:44No, please!
00:00:46No, please!
00:00:50No!
00:00:51I'm not willing!
00:00:55I am not willing!
00:01:02Cray!
00:01:04Cray!
00:01:15Cray!
00:01:31Cray!

00:01:53Cray!
00:01:56No!
00:01:57Oh, my God.
00:02:29Oh, my God.
00:03:00Oh, my God.
00:03:27The director, Amy, and Steve are setting up base camp half a kilometer away.
00:03:32You sure you don't want to get a head start?
00:03:36We can always leave a trail for Bella.
00:03:39And leave the woman we're hoping is going to fund the next decade of expeditions alone to pen for herself
00:03:44in the jungle?
00:03:45I don't think so.
00:03:46I mean, anyone can follow a trail.
00:03:50You don't know these office types.
00:03:52Then why is she coming?
00:03:54She's just going to slow us down.
00:03:56She wants to make sure her money's being spent the way she wants it.
00:04:00The last expedition we did, the exhibit was sold out for 14 months.
00:04:04Money's no issue for her.
00:04:06Yeah.
00:04:07But that 14-month run was four years ago.
00:04:11Besides, it's always about money with those types.
00:04:13Well, I guess it's lucky for her we have a lead on that location for the temple.
00:04:18Oh, there she is.
00:04:24Be nice.
00:04:26I'm always nice.
00:04:30I'm always nice.
00:04:32Dr. Jacobs, how was your trip?
00:04:35Rough.
00:04:37I'm just not used to small boats.
00:04:41And, um, I just want to take you a little...
00:04:43Oh!
00:04:45Not to worry, we've got GPS trackers, satellites, everything you need.
00:04:48Camp is about half a kilometer away, so we can move in right now.
00:04:53Um, I hope you have some bug spray.
00:04:56It's easy to get eaten alive out here at this time of year.
00:04:59Um, yeah, I did, but could I borrow yours?
00:05:02It's because mine's buried deep in my luggage, and I don't want to rummage around for it.
00:05:07Of course.
00:05:08We don't want to ruin a fresh man.
00:05:12This is Jess Mansfield, our resident foot-and-mouth specialist.
00:05:17She's also an expert in the region.
00:05:20What? I... I like the colors.
00:05:24Really?
00:05:27Um, okay.
00:05:28Anything else you need before we head off?
00:05:30Um, no. I'm good.
00:05:33All right, let's head out.
00:05:35Okay.
00:05:43A small plane, a minibus, and then that boat.
00:05:47I can't believe I made it here in one piece.
00:05:49But I thought you'd like to know that I invited Dr. Stiglitz to be a keynote speaker
00:05:55at this year's museum symposium at your behest.
00:05:59Has he responded?
00:06:00Mm-mm.
00:06:01Hmm.
00:06:02It's just like him.
00:06:05Well, I'm sure that meant a lot to him.
00:06:07Retirement hasn't been easy for Augustine.
00:06:11Well, if he keeps declining public speaking engagements, the public will stop engaging with him.
00:06:18Oh, I'm sure he'll be out on the appearance circuit the next time he writes his big book.
00:06:23Yeah, when will that be?
00:06:25The last one was five years ago.
00:06:28Oh, I'd love to sit.
00:06:36If you ask me, Augustine hasn't been the same since his last expedition.
00:06:41That's why I informed him I intend to stand up.
00:06:45Okay, thanks.
00:06:49So, what made you want to come out on this expedition, Bella?
00:06:53Dr. Jacobs.
00:06:54You know, Bella, Bella is fine with stuff.
00:06:56And that's a fair question, Jess.
00:07:00I guess I was just a tiny bit jealous of Marlene and all the time she gets to spend in
00:07:06the field.
00:07:07I mean, you both know I got my Ph.D. in museum studies from SUNY,
00:07:13and it's just not that exciting, you know?
00:07:16And I just felt isolated and secluded, and I just wanted to...
00:07:22Oh!
00:07:24I'll get you.
00:07:26Thanks, Marlene.
00:07:28I guess I just wanted to feel the dirt in my fingers, you know?
00:07:35And hold these artifacts in their natural habitat.
00:07:40And then, authorize and negotiate cultural property agreements with Mexico's Ministry of Culture
00:07:48for temporary loans of those very same artifacts.
00:07:51That's when the real adventure begins.
00:07:54Yeah.
00:07:56Well...
00:07:56Yeah, then it is an adventure.
00:08:03How could I pass up the opportunity to tour long-lost Aztec ruins with a private, local kind?
00:08:12I mean, that is a dream.
00:08:17What is that?
00:08:24Get behind me.
00:08:25Okay.
00:08:26Is that a...
00:08:28Jaguar?
00:08:29What?
00:08:30If it were a jaguar, we'd be dead already.
00:08:32Wait, is someone coming to meet us?
00:08:36Everyone should be back at camp.
00:08:39Everyone, take one step back.
00:08:52Yoretsi.
00:08:53You were supposed to meet us at the camp.
00:08:55Everyone, this is Yoretsi Talaka'elo.
00:08:58He's our local guide.
00:09:01Yoretsi?
00:09:03I won't even attempt your last name.
00:09:05I'll slaughter it.
00:09:06Pardon me.
00:09:07Dr. Bella Jacobs.
00:09:09Chief Curator, World History Museum, Los Angeles County.
00:09:13Pleasure to meet you.
00:09:19Shall we have the camp?
00:09:21Yes.
00:09:23Need the way?
00:09:24Let's go.
00:09:26Let's go.
00:10:00Hi, Colton.
00:10:02Stay with us.
00:10:04It's going to be nightfall soon.
00:10:07Still no sign of them.
00:10:09Well, I gave Jess our coordinates.
00:10:12They should be here soon.
00:10:13I gave you into Marlene.
00:10:15Sure, her assistant's great, but...
00:10:17Marlene's...
00:10:18Has the utmost faith in her choice of assistants?
00:10:22Oh...
00:10:23Next time, I'll say our camp, and you can fight off the jaguar we almost ran into.
00:10:28Doctor!
00:10:29We're just starting to get worried.
00:10:31Had to show Dr. Jacobs the scenic roots.
00:10:35Oh, everyone.
00:10:38The Ritzi Talacalel.
00:10:39Our guide.
00:10:42With your guidance, we would treat this place with the utmost respect that it deserves.
00:10:46Senor Tillytail.
00:10:47Taliki.
00:10:48Talacala.
00:10:49Mm?
00:10:50Talacala.
00:10:53I look forward to working with you all, and discovering my ancestral homelands, and presenting
00:11:01the rich and powerful heritage of my people, the chosen people, in your museum.
00:11:08Many artifacts and symbols of our sophisticated culture are still hidden deep within the temple
00:11:15of Quetzalcoatl.
00:11:17Doctor Rapatz, this includes Ahikakatskato.
00:11:21Few pieces like it ever survived the Spanish conquest, and none have been unearthed fully
00:11:27intact.
00:11:28We may have the rare opportunity to recover the first Ahikakatskato in one piece for the
00:11:36first time in six centuries.
00:11:39How can you be so sure?
00:11:40Well, most people say the temple was destroyed, and those who have searched for it come home
00:11:48empty-handed, if they've come home at all.
00:11:50And why is that?
00:11:53Because a group of Quetzalcoatl cultists make human sacrifices.
00:11:58But I thought that Quetzalcoatl was against the practice of human sacrifice.
00:12:03True.
00:12:05But this group, if the legends are true, of course, believe that sacrifices would get
00:12:11them closer to Quetzalcoatl.
00:12:15That only the truest of true believers could commit such acts.
00:12:20So it will likely be a small temple, since it was a small cult.
00:12:24It's most likely swallowed up by the jungle for six centuries.
00:12:27We could be venturing into nothing, though.
00:12:31Nothing, but I...
00:12:32There's always a risk.
00:12:34But we mitigate that risk by having experts like Senor Talaquilal to guide us.
00:12:39No one has seen or even touched a fully intact Ahikakatskato.
00:12:44No one?
00:12:45No one.
00:12:46Well, someone got close.
00:12:48Wait.
00:12:49I'm confused.
00:12:51Someone did or didn't...
00:12:52You know him.
00:12:53Dr. Stiglitz.
00:12:57Ah, right.
00:12:59Is that what drove him to an early retirement, searching for a complete Ehekakatskato?
00:13:05Well, I can tell you he might have succeeded if he had what we have, our secret weapon,
00:13:09Senor Talaquilal.
00:13:13It's thanks to him that we know exactly where to look for the temple.
00:13:18Well, Steve, why don't you show Bella to her tent?
00:13:20I'm sure she's tired and could settle in.
00:13:26Hi, Steve Hill, one of the fuel tanks.
00:13:28Hi, nice to meet you.
00:13:30I'm Bella Jacobs.
00:13:31I can show you to your tent.
00:13:33Oh, okay.
00:13:35Don't mind if I do.
00:13:39Oh, wow, you're so sweet.
00:13:47So?
00:13:49How's Bella doing?
00:13:51Is she in a I'm-gonna-fund-you-for-a-decade mood, or this is your last exhibition mood?
00:14:00Too soon to tell.
00:14:02Although I'm optimistic, she seems excited.
00:14:04Well, yeah, it's her-it's her last chance at joining an expedition before she pulls funding.
00:14:12Oh, do you not know?
00:14:15Am I seriously the one breaking this news to you right now?
00:14:18Well, um, ever since the White House pulled major federal grant programs,
00:14:27trustees have been, like, skittish.
00:14:32Donors and sponsors have been putting major pressure on Bella to secure another Tutankhamen-sized exhibit.
00:14:43Maybe you should get in touch with Dr. Stiglitz, after all.
00:14:46I already have.
00:14:48Yeah.
00:15:11Mmm.
00:15:27Oh, my God.
00:15:42I finally, I finally finished your schedule.
00:15:45Ah, thank you, Peter.
00:15:46It's all good to go.
00:15:47Yeah, read this for me.
00:15:48I haven't got my glasses.
00:15:49Yeah, what is it?
00:15:52Is it your birthday?
00:15:54Well, happy birthday.
00:15:56Just read it.
00:15:59Um, let's see.
00:16:01I know how much you hate being another year older,
00:16:04but not nearly as much as you like being upstaged.
00:16:07So let me distract you from the former with the latter.
00:16:12I'm going for it.
00:16:14This time with WHM funding.
00:16:17It's my birthday gift to you, Marlene.
00:16:21She's going for what?
00:16:23And is this Dr. Potts?
00:16:34Come, let's work.
00:16:36Let's do.
00:16:48So, basically, I just yell out earthquake because everything's shaking.
00:16:52Everyone runs to the exit except for Marlene.
00:16:55She literally dives for it, dives for the vase at the very last second
00:16:59and catches it just before it hits the ground.
00:17:01I had no idea that that piece made such a journey.
00:17:05It was one of my favorites from last year's Mycenaean exhibit.
00:17:11Marlene, what's your favorite artifact you discovered?
00:17:15There was this necklace, ornate with jewels, emeralds, rubies, adorned on a golden chain.
00:17:24It belonged to a queen, but we found it in a mass tomb.
00:17:28Why was it there?
00:17:30There were a couple of theories about that.
00:17:32One was a coup, but then we would have found other royals with similar jewels,
00:17:36so that was unlikely.
00:17:39It could have been a gift to a servant from a royal friend before they died.
00:17:44Or it could have been a thief clutching it for an eternity.
00:17:48But what do you think?
00:17:51I like to think that it did belong to a queen.
00:17:54A leader of her people who went into battle fighting for her people
00:17:59till their very last breath.
00:18:02They were a coward.
00:18:11What makes you think that?
00:18:14Royals never spent time with peasants.
00:18:17It was beneath them.
00:18:18The woman who wore your necklace was fleeing the battle,
00:18:23leaving her people to die.
00:18:26It was likely hiding somewhere in her clothes,
00:18:28or somewhere even more hidden.
00:18:31You know, that's the funny thing about undocumented history.
00:18:35We never truly know.
00:18:39That's why it's our job to piece together the past.
00:18:42To learn.
00:18:54Well, it's getting late.
00:18:55We've got a long journey ahead of us tomorrow.
00:18:58Let's get some rest.
00:19:01I guess I'll take first watch.
00:19:04Just had some coffee, so I'm wired.
00:19:15Good work.
00:19:19Oh.
00:19:24Oh.
00:19:29Oh.
00:19:33Oh.
00:19:33Oh.
00:19:33Oh.
00:19:35Oh.
00:19:36Come on.
00:19:46I don't know.
00:20:13I don't know.
00:20:38What was it?
00:20:39Did you hear that?
00:20:46You okay?
00:20:47Yeah.
00:20:48Yeah, I'm good.
00:20:53Oh, Lord, look at the size of this thing.
00:20:58It has to be a 20-footer.
00:21:0125-footer.
00:21:02It's a green anaconda.
00:21:06Here, let's see what's up.
00:21:07Everything okay?
00:21:09No, it isn't.
00:21:13Steve, watch out!
00:21:15Don't get so close.
00:21:16Don't worry.
00:21:17It's very dead.
00:21:19It's also very far from home.
00:21:25This can't be a green anaconda.
00:21:27What's it doing 2,000 miles north of its natural habitat?
00:21:312,000 miles?
00:21:32You're talking what?
00:21:34Venezuela?
00:21:35Ecuador?
00:21:36She's right.
00:21:39Anacondas aren't native to this region.
00:21:41Or this country, for that matter.
00:21:43Pythons, sure.
00:21:45Some in Mexico.
00:21:46But this wind must have gotten lost.
00:21:502,000 miles is a long way to get lost.
00:21:53The legends are true.
00:21:55There's a green anaconda.
00:21:57The bottom of the temple pit.
00:22:00Believed to be Quetzalcoatl himself.
00:22:02Trapped in his earthly form.
00:22:04Oh.
00:22:06And you didn't think to tell us about this?
00:22:08Super snake until just now?
00:22:10Obviously, it's not true.
00:22:13Probably just a boa constrictor or anaconda of great length.
00:22:17But we don't know what's down there for sure.
00:22:20Great length?
00:22:2225 feet is great length.
00:22:25Are you sure we didn't just kill it?
00:22:28That was half a millennia ago.
00:22:30No matter what they believe, there's no way that it would have lived this long.
00:22:34Are you okay?
00:22:36Oh, yeah.
00:22:38Not every day you almost get choked out by a giant snake.
00:22:42You know?
00:22:44Fortunately, no, I don't.
00:22:48Here.
00:22:49Have some water.
00:22:55Listen.
00:22:57If you need to take some time, I can arrange it for you to get back to the mainland.
00:23:02No pressure to continue.
00:23:04What's a better story?
00:23:07I almost got choked out by a giant snake, so I packed my stuff and went home, or I almost
00:23:16got choked out by a giant snake before we found a rare, priceless Eheka doodle-dackle, whatever
00:23:23you're calling it, in a lost temple that we haven't set foot in for six centuries.
00:23:30The first one sounds pretty good, but I'm kind of leaning towards the second one.
00:23:34The second one sounds good.
00:23:54The second one sounds good.
00:24:03She is the curator of your facility, is she not?
00:24:09Do you mind if I ask the nature of this expedition?
00:24:14Chiapas?
00:24:15I know the area.
00:24:17Yes, quite well, in fact.
00:24:21Well, um...
00:24:21Please let her know that I called.
00:24:27What's happened?
00:24:29Something the matter?
00:24:34She's gone to southern Mexico.
00:24:36Dr. Potts.
00:24:38With financial backing from the World History Museum.
00:24:41Once it's now.
00:24:43That birthday card.
00:24:46Lord knows I hate cheap sentimentality like that.
00:24:49And she knows this.
00:24:51Mm-hmm.
00:24:52And Marlene would never dare directly tell me to my face what she was planning to do.
00:24:56Because of the museum?
00:24:58Yes.
00:24:59Yes, indeed.
00:25:00Hence the card.
00:25:03Just easier.
00:25:06So then what is she doing?
00:25:08Oh, Peter, don't you see?
00:25:10She's gone to southern Mexico to find the Ehekoskopel.
00:25:14The one she's always been planning to get.
00:25:16And the one that I could never find.
00:25:19But you proved it doesn't exist.
00:25:21No, I just proved that I couldn't find it.
00:25:27Reach out to the WHM.
00:25:29I've declined their kind offer on behalf of your employer.
00:25:32And, uh, send them a signed copy of my book for their silent auction.
00:25:37Oh, and Peter, perhaps you might read it before you do.
00:25:41Mm-hmm.
00:25:54Renting uncharted territory could be rougher terrain out there.
00:25:57So, is this how all these go?
00:26:00Sometimes it's jungle, sometimes it's desert.
00:26:02Desert's easier as long as you have enough water.
00:26:05Now, give me this any day over the desert.
00:26:08Absolutely not.
00:26:09Have you been to the Arctic?
00:26:10A blinding.
00:26:11Heat I can deal with.
00:26:12But cold, unforgiving.
00:26:15Look out!
00:26:16Oh!
00:26:27It is an omen.
00:26:29Quetzalcoatl.
00:26:30He does not want us to be here.
00:26:33I mean, we have to be here.
00:26:36I mean, we have to move on through.
00:26:38I don't know about you people, but I don't want to wait for another snake to show up.
00:26:43Bella, if your exe says that it's too dangerous...
00:26:45Marlene.
00:26:46That's the chief curator for the museum and the one funding this excursion.
00:26:51Marlene, I need artifacts, so I say we press on.
00:26:57Marlene?
00:27:09You okay?
00:27:11Let's go.
00:27:20Okay.
00:27:26Marlene, take a look at this.
00:27:27Oh, now this is what I'm talking about.
00:27:36Not gonna lie, I didn't think we'd find shit.
00:27:41The temple of Quetzalcoatl must not be approached with negligence.
00:27:49You did it, you're at sea.
00:27:53Follow me.
00:27:55Stay close.
00:28:12Remember, we're in an ancient ruin.
00:28:14It's important to be cautious.
00:28:16Be careful.
00:28:17We must not disturb Quetzalcoatl.
00:28:20To think this place has been left untouched for centuries, by anything other than Mother Nature.
00:28:30To think this place is going to be a very good man.
00:28:31This is like a mine cell or a sub-zero.
00:29:02I don't know.
00:29:05I don't know.
00:29:42I don't know.
00:30:05In here?
00:30:06Sacrifices to Quetzalcoatl, the god of wind and creation.
00:30:12Here, take this.
00:30:22Hey, guys.
00:30:27The pit, it's been sealed shut.
00:30:31Well, maybe, maybe Quetzalcoatl was sick of all this, this blood and death.
00:30:38Okay.
00:30:393D surveying systems up and running.
00:30:42I'll have the Geovector online and ready to fly in five.
00:30:46Okay, Irv.
00:30:47You reading this?
00:30:48Yeah, data sets initiating.
00:30:52And data sets received.
00:30:54All right, we're good to go.
00:30:55Come here.
00:30:59Let's go.
00:31:27Let's go.
00:31:57Let's go.
00:32:27Let's go.

00:35:57Let's go.
00:35:58Let's go.
00:35:59Keep moving.
00:35:59Keep moving.
00:36:00Keep moving forward.
00:36:01Frans!
00:36:04Steve.
00:36:05It wasn't my fault, Marlene!
00:36:07Do you know what your careless mistake cost us?
00:36:09Marlene! Marlene! We're safe! We're safe!
00:36:11That is all that matters.
00:36:13Let's just set up camp
00:36:15before it gets dark.
00:36:17We assess when we have clearer heads.
00:36:20Come on. We'll figure this out.
00:36:33Hey, is it really true that the Aztecs
00:36:36were performing ritual sacrifice?
00:36:38Oh, yes. True indeed.
00:36:40In fact, the Aztec armies would capture their
00:36:42prisoners of war and sacrifice
00:36:44them to their gods.
00:36:48Wow. Dude, that's crazy.
00:36:51I mean, you read about stuff
00:36:52like this, but to think
00:36:54that those people actually did those things?
00:36:57And why?
00:37:07You enjoying retirement?
00:37:13Well, what else is there
00:37:14left to accomplish?
00:37:16You know, I've discovered ruins and relics
00:37:18the world had long thought lost forever.
00:37:21I've traveled to the
00:37:22four corners of the globe.
00:37:24I've written many books about these places.
00:37:26And some have been turned into
00:37:28some pretty decent movies.
00:37:30Others, eh, not so much.
00:37:33So,
00:37:34now I'm retired.
00:37:39Why do you ask about sacrifices?
00:37:41I wonder something you wrote in your book.
00:37:44Ah.
00:37:46It was, uh, right here.
00:37:49Aztec religions became bloodthirsty.
00:37:52Human sacrifice became important in maintaining cosmic order.
00:37:56However,
00:37:57the high priests believed that
00:38:00the sun needed human blood just
00:38:02to rise inside.
00:38:04Well, yes, of course, crazy.
00:38:05The sun has always been essential to human civilization.
00:38:09But the Aztecs
00:38:10also believed that Quetzalcoatl
00:38:12was the god of creation.
00:38:14And that he spilled his blood to bring humanity
00:38:16into life.
00:38:18But oddly, he was against the, uh,
00:38:20sacrifice of the unwilling.
00:38:22Really?
00:38:23And blood rituals in general.
00:38:26I wonder what it is that Marlene has found
00:38:28that makes her think that the Aztecs
00:38:29was in Chiapas.
00:38:34The temple
00:38:35at Quetzalcoatl.
00:38:38Perhaps she's found it.
00:38:40Hmm.
00:38:40But then,
00:38:41why would the Aetzalcoatl be there?
00:38:45Well,
00:38:46maybe
00:38:47they wanted to hide it where they didn't think anyone would look.
00:38:51And why would you say that?
00:38:55Well, if Petzalcoatl
00:38:57was against human sacrifice,
00:38:59then no one would be using
00:39:01the ceremonial breastplate in a place of worship,
00:39:03right?
00:39:04So maybe they hid it there because
00:39:06no one would look for it.
00:39:09Hmm.
00:39:11You know, that's not completely off base.
00:39:14I gotta say,
00:39:15I've heard worse suppositions.
00:39:17Thank you. Cheers.
00:39:18Thanks.
00:39:18Hmm.
00:39:19Hmm.
00:39:26Hmm, hmm.
00:39:27Hmm.
00:39:33Hmm.
00:39:35Hmm.
00:39:37Hmm.
00:39:40Hmm.
00:40:47Did you hear that?
00:40:49Did you guys hear that?
00:40:50Yeah.
00:40:52Where's Steve?
00:40:52Is everyone else there?
00:40:53Steve!
00:40:54Steve!
00:40:55Steve!
00:40:55Steve!
00:40:56Steve!
00:40:58We should call search and rescue.
00:41:00They could do an aerial search.
00:41:01We need to find Steve or this space here is over.
00:41:03But we need to find him.
00:41:04Every moment counts.
00:41:05All right, Jess and Bella, you stay here.
00:41:07You try and contact air rescue.
00:41:09Irv, Amy, take the gun.
00:41:10Go back to where we came from.
00:41:12See if you can find Steve or his tracks.
00:41:14Anything.
00:41:14Look.
00:41:16Ritzy, Hector and I, we're gonna go west.
00:41:19Everyone meet back here in 15 minutes.
00:41:22You got it?
00:41:22Copy.
00:41:40Air rescue!
00:41:41Come in!
00:41:42We have a missing person!
00:41:45Please, come in!
00:41:48Air rescue!
00:41:49This is Dr. Bella Jacobs.
00:41:51We have a missing person emergency.
00:41:54I repeat, a missing person emergency!
00:41:57Over!
00:41:58I hope they find him.
00:42:00He seems like such a good guy.
00:42:19Steve!
00:42:21Are you hurt?
00:42:23Come on, buddy.
00:42:24Make a sound if you can hear us.
00:42:26Steve!
00:42:30Steve!
00:42:31Steve!
00:42:31Hide-and-seek's over, buddy.
00:42:35Steve!
00:42:36Answer us, please!
00:42:46Keep going.
00:42:48Steve!
00:42:50Steve!
00:42:58Air rescue?
00:43:00Air rescue?
00:43:08Maybe Ritzy's right.
00:43:12Maybe there is bad energy here.
00:43:18Air rescue!
00:43:20Please!
00:43:21Come in!
00:43:23We have a missing person!
00:43:25Please, we're in need of assistance!
00:43:28We have a missing person!
00:43:34Do that!
00:43:37Steve!
00:43:39Steve!
00:43:41Steve!
00:43:45Steve, come on!
00:44:06I've never lost anyone on an expedition before.
00:44:09I haven't lost anyone just yet.
00:44:14What is it?
00:44:16Look at this size of this snakeskin.
00:44:19Liz is out here with us.
00:44:27What's up?
00:44:28Did you find Steve?
00:44:30No, we found this.
00:44:32Oh!
00:44:36It's fresh.
00:44:37Recently shed.
00:44:39Let's see.
00:44:3912, 24 hours, maybe.
00:44:41How can you tell?
00:44:42It's pliable.
00:44:44Supple.
00:44:44It's not dry and brittle.
00:44:46There's one massive snake.
00:44:49That's bigger than the one that almost got me.
00:44:52That's not funny.
00:44:56Yeah, I think we should, uh, go home.
00:45:00I don't know.
00:45:02We should not.
00:45:03Why not?
00:45:05Evil energy.
00:45:06It will follow us wherever we go.
00:45:09Uh, I'm sorry.
00:45:12So, we're just kind of stuck here?
00:45:14Forever?
00:45:15Because you're all too scared to just leave?
00:45:17Because of some religious superstition?
00:45:20We must find the evil energy.
00:45:24Defeat it.
00:45:25Then and only then can we leave safely.
00:45:29How do you find that energy?
00:45:32Much less, um, destroy it.
00:45:35We head back to the temple.
00:45:38Okay, uh, may I remind you that the geovector scan didn't find anything.
00:45:43There is nothing undiscovered inside that temple.
00:45:46What about Steve?
00:45:47Maybe he's there.
00:45:49Bella's right.
00:45:50We can't leave without Steve.
00:45:53We all need to stick together.
00:45:56So then we head back to the temple to look for Steve.
00:45:59Yeah.
00:46:00Fine.
00:46:01Fine.
00:46:02If it were one of us, he wouldn't give up.
00:46:04Steve wouldn't give up.
00:46:06We have to keep going.
00:46:08Yeah.
00:46:12Great.
00:46:15We need to head out.
00:46:16Let's go.
00:46:19I'm going to hang back for a second and try to one more time to contact air rescue.
00:46:24Hector, just hurry up.
00:46:26We can't wait for you.
00:46:34Okay.
00:46:44Air control, do you copy?
00:46:45Over.
00:46:47Air control, do you copy?
00:46:49Over.
00:46:51Air control, do you copy?
00:46:54We hear you.
00:46:55Who are you?
00:46:57Air control, this is Hector Rojas.
00:46:59I'm part of the new student civilization.
00:47:01We have lost one of our members.
00:47:03What is your location?
00:47:05My location?
00:47:10What is your location, sir?
00:47:42What is your location, sir?
00:47:48Steve?
00:47:55Steve!
00:47:57The pit.
00:47:58It's open.
00:48:05Okay, well, I don't think Steve's down there, so...
00:48:10Let's keep moving.
00:48:27You were good?
00:48:32It's totally empty in here.
00:48:36Guys, I don't think he came this way.
00:48:39It's the most obvious path, unless there are passages we have yet to discover.
00:48:58Wait, why would he come down this way?
00:49:01Steve being Steve.
00:49:10Steve.
00:49:14Steve!
00:49:15Are you okay?
00:49:18Hold on.
00:49:19We'll help get you out.
00:49:20Oh, I'm sorry, guys!
00:49:20I'm sorry!
00:49:24I'm sorry!
00:49:26I'm sorry.
00:49:32I'm sorry.
00:49:35It's the first one!
00:49:36I'm sorry.
00:49:41He's alright.
00:49:41Oh!
00:49:43No!
00:49:45Joe!
00:49:46No!
00:49:48Oh!
00:49:49No!
00:49:49And I don't know how to be followed!
00:49:54She's dead.
00:50:00Jess? Bella?
00:50:05Orlean?
00:50:09Bella?
00:50:11Bella's gone.
00:50:15Okay. Okay.
00:50:18All right.
00:50:18Um, we need to get Eretzian and Jess out.
00:50:24Um, we have some pulley ropes in the gear.
00:50:27Okay. I'll check it.
00:50:30Just hold on. We're coming.
00:50:34I think there's a way out of here.
00:50:37Let's go.
00:50:39Eretzian thinks he's found a way out.
00:50:43Okay. Be careful.
00:50:45Be careful. If you find a way out, just meet us back at the camp.
00:50:56Oh, no.
00:50:57Oh, Bella.
00:51:04Okay.
00:51:04Okay. What do you want to do?

00:56:10This tunnel, it was used for prisoners, right?
00:56:14There had to be a way for them to come in and get them out.
00:56:19There's something on the ground.
00:56:22Where?
00:56:25There's a tablet on the ground.
00:56:29It has an etching of Quetzalcoatl on it.
00:56:34Okay, okay, okay, I see it, I see it.
00:56:39If, if we press it, we may, may just be able to get out of here.
00:56:45How do you know?
00:56:47There are no skeletons in here.
00:56:50There has to be a way out.
00:56:53This is our only chance.

00:58:03We're down here!
00:58:05Somebody!
00:58:08They cannot hear us down here.
00:58:11This is a prison.
00:58:12The walls are too thick.
00:58:19Help!
00:58:26A la poa.
00:58:33You said something!
00:58:34You said something and it opened.
00:58:36What did you say?
00:58:38It's a la poa.
00:58:40An ancient nato.
00:58:41It means to open.
00:58:44Why didn't you do that in the first place?
00:58:49Your bantering gave me the idea.
00:58:52Oh, come on.
00:58:54Watch where you walk.
00:58:55It could all be rain.
00:59:04In roughly 24 hours, the solar cycle will reach its maximum phase or peak.
00:59:11Meaning what?
00:59:12Sorry, I'm a little lost.
00:59:13I haven't finished your book yet.
00:59:15Well, when the solar cycle reaches its peak is exactly when the Aztecs would increase their human sacrifice rituals.
00:59:22More blood spilled.
00:59:23The temple at Quetzalcoatl was infamous for the amount of blood shed there.
00:59:28If Marlene has in fact found this temple and something has been awakened inside,
00:59:34then it's very hard to prevent it from escaping the temple and frankly,
00:59:37putting the whole world in jeopardy.
00:59:40All because of the, uh...
00:59:43The solar cycle?
00:59:43Yeah.
00:59:45The cosmic imbalance has long had a devastating effect on civilization for centuries.
00:59:53Great.
00:59:53So we've got, what, like 24 hours?
00:59:58We got this.
00:59:59Fine.
01:00:00It's fine.
01:00:01Have you seen 24?
01:00:03They got a lot done.
01:00:05What?
01:00:12We're only getting deeper into this temple.
01:00:17A library.
01:00:24Serpents.
01:00:25They're everywhere.
01:00:27Look at this, Amy.
01:00:29Ancient iconography.
01:00:32It's the symbol for the cult.
01:00:34Early to mid-1400s.
01:00:371400s.
01:00:37It's the, it's the rise of the Aztec Empire under the ruler.
01:00:41Um, it's a coaddle.
01:00:48Wait, wait, wait.
01:00:49Look at this.
01:00:51It's not a coaddle script.
01:00:53It's just got the same phrase over and over and over again.
01:00:55You're right.
01:00:57Chosen.
01:00:58Chosen ones.
01:01:00Rulers.
01:01:01Chosen to lead.
01:01:02It's everywhere.
01:01:06But, Emperor Itzaquaddle's rule was not dominated by this attitude.
01:01:11While it not at first, it was introduced later towards the end of his rule.
01:01:17Mid-1400s, the Aztec Empire became highly militarized.
01:01:21And human sacrifices were widely accepted.
01:01:26Under the rule of the royal advisor, Tlacolol.
01:01:31Tl-Tlacolol?
01:01:33As in...
01:01:36Tlacolol.
01:01:38Okay, it's too dark.
01:01:40We have to be careful so we don't walk into another trap.
01:01:46This temple...
01:01:49If the people had made it, would not have many traps in here.
01:01:54Yeah?
01:01:55Why is that?
01:01:56They were protected in other ways.
01:02:00What do you mean, other ways?
01:02:02They took measures.
01:02:05To appease the gods.
01:02:12They took forms on Earth that represented their power absolute.
01:02:18What does that mean?
01:02:21Pray you never have to find out.
01:02:30What was that?
01:02:38We need to keep moving.
01:02:40It's not safe here.
01:02:45The temple housed what they believed to be Ketsokotol in his earthly form.
01:02:49Feathered serpents.
01:02:51He would grow larger and larger with every sacrifice he was offered.
01:02:56There was another theory.
01:02:58The Tlacololol belief.
01:03:01And that means protector, right?
01:03:04This temple was not built to house but to imprison.
01:03:08As a way to protect the world from the danger and the havoc it would wreak if it was ever
01:03:12released from the sacred land.
01:03:14Yeah, but this temple, it's falling apart.
01:03:18Yeah.
01:03:19Thanks to us and the collapse, the sacrificial pit has been reopened and the danger reawakens.
01:03:28So, how are we gonna kill this thing?
01:03:33Kill it?
01:03:34In my experience, gods don't die that easily.
01:03:37So, what are we gonna do?
01:03:38Are we just gonna let this, this, this thing become the dominant apex predator on the planet and destroy everything?
01:04:02Peter!
01:04:04Now, listen.
01:04:05This area can be very unforgiving.
01:04:07So, stay close, listen to every word I say and whatever you do, do not stray apart.
01:04:14Okay?
01:04:16Give me the guns.
01:04:24Look, Augie, I'm staying here.
01:04:26Okay, if this goes south, you need someone at base camp.
01:04:30Okay?
01:04:32Okay.
01:04:33Stay safe.
01:04:35I'll see you.
01:04:39Okay, we need to look and find something that's gonna help lead us to just in the other at sea.
01:04:43The map, maybe?
01:04:50Okay, wait, check this out.
01:04:52That looks like a drawing of the temple.
01:04:54What it must have looked like.
01:04:57Perfect, then, uh, where are we in all this?
01:05:02Well, we're probably three stories down to preserve the humidity of the scrolls.
01:05:06Okay, if we entered here.
01:05:09Uh-huh.
01:05:10Got separated here.
01:05:13Okay, then this is where they'd probably be.
01:05:15So, you think the dress is here?
01:05:21You should wear this.
01:05:25That would be highly inappropriate.
01:05:29I insist.
01:05:31It will protect you.
01:05:36Protection from what?
01:05:38It is your destiny.
01:05:42The gods are watching.
01:05:44And I won't take no for an answer.
01:05:46Where?
01:05:48That's you.
01:05:52You're...
01:05:53You're scaring me.
01:05:54I mean...
01:06:00We're just a few hallways away.
01:06:04Beyond the lookout for traps.
01:06:12Where is it?
01:06:36You're scaring me.
01:06:38Okay, let's go.
01:06:51You were scaring me.
01:06:53You're scaring.
01:06:54It's so hard.
01:06:55I'm not even tormented.
01:06:55You're scaring me.
01:06:55I'mconic.
01:06:57You're scaring me.
01:07:03boldly, look for sure.
01:07:04Hold on, I'm sorry.
01:07:05It's so hard to come down.
01:07:09You look perfect.
01:07:13This feels really inappropriate.
01:07:18I can assure you everything you guys had should see.
01:07:25Yasi, I really think that, you know, I should take this off and we can just find a nice thing
01:07:30to be.
01:07:32And it's not going to happen.
01:07:36What do you mean?
01:07:41I have bigger plans for you.
01:07:47Yasi, I really think that, you know, we could just go find the others and we could...
01:07:58What are you doing?
01:08:03What I shouldn't have done.
01:08:05Long ago, what my ancestors were too cowardly.
01:08:14You don't have to do that.
01:08:16You don't understand.
01:08:19I must.
01:08:22I must.
01:08:23Susan, no.
01:08:24No, please, please.
01:08:26No.
01:08:26Please.
01:08:27No, no, no, no, no, no.
01:08:30No!
01:08:35Oh, good call.
01:08:37Going right.
01:08:38Except we need to go left.
01:08:41Left?
01:08:43Isn't there another way?
01:08:47There is, but it's longer.
01:08:49Let's take it.
01:08:52Stay close.
01:09:13Amy.
01:09:21I'm sorry.
01:09:22I'm going to help you.
01:09:23No, no, no, no, you need to go.
01:09:24No, I'm not leaving, I'm not leaving.
01:09:26You need to go!
01:09:38I'm sorry.
01:09:39I'm sorry.
01:10:01No, no, no, no, no, no.
01:10:20What are you doing?
01:10:23Get away from me.
01:10:24I have no idea how great an honor it is to be sacrificed.
01:10:31There will be stories written about you.
01:10:33I would rather be writing the stories than talking about.
01:10:38It is an honor.
01:10:42It's such an honor.
01:10:43Why don't you sacrifice yourself?
01:10:49No, no, no.
01:10:56My country, my people, they are lost.
01:11:01They don't know their history.
01:11:03The great and powerful empire that ruled this country for centuries.
01:11:13The first was his vision that brought the Aztec Empire to great new heights through sacrifice and destruction.
01:11:27That is not to lay the inevitable.
01:11:31I must appease our gods.
01:11:53Doors.
01:11:55Doors.
01:11:55Doors.
01:12:02Doors.
01:12:03Are you here?
01:12:11We're gonna get out of here, okay?
01:12:14Okay, okay.
01:12:15Okay, all right.
01:12:17Okay, all right.
01:12:19Are you ready?
01:12:20Okay.
01:12:21Where are we going?
01:12:22Okay.
01:12:23Let's go, let's go.
01:12:31Okay.
01:12:33Okay, okay.
01:12:35Okay.
01:12:40With your ruts you gone, I don't think that book is going to help us.
01:12:43There's got to be something here, otherwise you wouldn't have kept it.
01:12:49If the Telakala line is ended, Ketokotl will grow until it devours the world.
01:12:56But we already knew that.
01:12:58The only way to kill Ketokotl is to pierce its heart with the ceremonial blade.
01:13:04How are we supposed to do that?
01:13:06That thing is enormous.
01:13:08If we leave here, it's going to kill us.
01:13:13Okay, you need to get down to the lower levels.
01:13:15What?
01:13:15Make a bunch of noise, grab its attention, distract it.
01:13:18I'll go to the sacrificial pit, and I'll grab the blade off of Uretzi's body.
01:13:23That's your plan?
01:13:24The temple is falling all around us, and a snake is chasing us.
01:13:27Do you have a better idea?
01:13:31We just have to get out of here.
01:13:32No, we have to kill it, otherwise it's going to kill us.
01:13:36No.
01:13:37Jess.
01:13:40You have to go.
01:13:44Okay.
01:13:46Okay.
01:13:47Okay.
01:13:49Okay.
01:13:51Okay.
01:13:52Okay.
01:14:03Hey!
01:14:04Hey!
01:14:05Come and get me!
01:14:08You want a so bad one right here!
01:14:11Come and get me!
01:14:19Come and get me!

01:14:31Come and get me!
