The Mysterious Cities of Gold - S3E17 - Free!

Wait, a drugged maharaja? IT IS Temple of Doom!

So Ambrosius captures Esteban. Mendoza duels with Laguerra while Tao blows down the door to Atanos cell and bring him to the courtyard where Zia have scared away the guards as well as the children from the village that breaks down the gate with their elephant. Sancho and Pedro takes the captured adults and storm out of the castle. Esteban is able to fire the antidote at the maharaja from a blowgun who awakens and turn the guards against Ambrosius that in desperation sets the palace on fire. Tao after getting Atanos to the condor heads back to get Esteban. Mendoza continues to fight Laguerra until the castle guards appears to arrest her, but since she let Mendoza and the kids off the hook at the village Mendoza returns the favor. Ambrosius and Laguerra escapes, although not able to get back the orichalcum matrix (although Laguerra seems to be as shifty as Mendoza was back in season 1). Esteban and Tao is caught in the inferno and flees downward until they find the Olmecian machine. Everyone else have escaped outside and as the palace collapses Tao starts up the Olmecian machine and is able to fly of and crash land to safety.

Esteban is reunited with his father and Pedro tells Mendoza that they did deliver on their promise, which makes Mendoza say that they are ready for adventures once again. Which made me wonder what Mendoza thought this have been if not an adventure, traveling across three continents, discovering three cities of gold and be in danger for most of the time?

The documentary was about the Amber palace which it's also known as that inspired the fort (or castle, palace and whatever, the naming differs from episode to episode) where different rooms where and such. Also it was a bit of some kind of giant cooking pot that was used to feed the residence of the palace. Which make sense, but you seldom here about how they are preparing food for a population of 200 people in a castle that much.
