The Mysterious Cities of Gold - S4E12 - Farewell Master!

 

He probably will be back.

Ambrosius starts up the philosopher's stone in a bid to get immortality. At the same time Gaspard and Leguerra finds the armoury and the frozen bodies off the olmecs. They escape the big muscle of the olmecs. Ambrosius gets taken hostages by the others. Apparently the stone used to belong to the Atlanteans but was stolen away by the so called pacifists in order to stop the war. The stone is really a conduit like everything else and is going to be used in order to awaken all the olmecs. Leguerra rescues Ambrosius and spill the beans about the olmecs plans and as they try to escape Ambrosius suits up and want to go back, but the others have had enough of his schemes and after a tussle he falls off, but when Leguerra is about to drag him up by his hook-shot, it fails and he seemingly falls to his death. Gaspard gets control of the ship, but the gate to base closes and they crash.

Meanwhile Zia, Tao and the boy returns with mask to the village and is told that the mask must be brought back to its home, this unknown city. To find it they must follow the patterns on the mask in reverse order since it has chronicled the journey of the mask. And as they leave the woman elder tells the boy yet another part of the story, that when the mask returns, the end of times is near. And then we see a city in a cave where a woman in leopard dress dances, a leopard dressed warrior appears and tells her that a girl is on their way and they head out.

The documentary was about the Ethiopian highlands that was the inspiration for the ravine where the Olmec base was hiding. With this I can't see another end that Ambrosius have to make a redemption sacrifice and die at the end saving... maybe Tao since he seemed closest to him. The Olmecs have clearly taken over the villain part of the show and it ramps up. Also, the first seconds of the episode amazing with the small hints of synths and the visuals of the base looks just fantastic. Gets vibes from the Burning Shield back in season 1.
