The Mysterious Cities of Gold - S4E11 - The Bako

 

Zia flies toward Mozambique and she also have a stowaway, the boy hunter that happened to be in the condor as well. They sneak in by the sewers and is caught in Gomez office as they have grabbed the mask. The boy tricks Gomez to put the mask on and as he does it shines with golden light and he screams and runs off the balcony and lands on the ground. Zia and the boy grabs the mask and runs back through the sewers and Zia tells the rats to attack the soldiers. Back at the condor she puts on the mask and is again granted a vision. This time on top of another city of gold as Sancho and Pedro is sobbing and Esteban tries to pull Mendoza away. Zia isn't able to speak and she sees Tao through a could off fog and as she runs toward him he is pulled back and then falls off and disappears from the city and then she wakes up.

With this fear of Tao's life she heads toward Zimbabwe and drops the boy of the king's sister that longs for Pedro and ask the king permission to use the gate now that she have both medallions since Esteban gave his to her before the duel to avoid injuries. She finds Tao and he tells her of da Vinci's clues and show her the Mona Lisa that seems to have inscriptions in the eyes. Right eye just a signature of da Vinci, but the other had a code that Zia translates to "build the seventh city", meaning that the 7th city doesn't exist, but they have to build it. so I was wrong back at the final of the second season about the cities, but right regarding the Olmecs at least.

Speaking of the Olmecs, back at their base they set out fixing the airship and Ambrosius goes away to experiment on the stone. Gaspard and Leguerra eavesdrop on the three Olmecs and they are on their way of getting rid of them since they only need Ambrosius. The one Esteban saved show some hesitation on what they are about to do.

There was also a brief scene in the beginning when we were back in India from Ambrosius old base where a girl from the village (can't recall if she was an important character in the last season) is taking some fruit where she encounters Estebans father Darth Vader style as he goes out from his healing chamber. I think they hinted at him knowing about Tao in Chambard. 

Documentary about how Saint Sebastian seemed to actually be alive during nighttime with markets and and other things and then a bit about the Mona Lisa and the mysteries surrounding the painting. Beside the usual I didn't know that some believed that it was sort of a hidden self portrait of da Vinci. Interesting!
