The Mysterious Cities of Gold - S4E21 - Hand in Hand

I won't cry! *sniff*

The heroes tries to tell Gaspard and Leguerra that the world is ending if they don't assemble the artefacts from Ambrosius, but Gaspard won't listen. Leguerra proposes a duel between her and Mendoza for either taking the treasures and build the 7th city or take the treasures to Charles V. While the dual is going on Pedro and Sancho is looking for food and angers an ostrich that hunts them and Gaspard away. The duel ends with Leguerre winning, but accepting that their quest is more important.

They get the treasures, but learns that the stone is still with the olmecs, and through the paintings in the cave they learn that the story of the shaman being kidnapped by the olmecs where the truth and that the cave probably is the end point of his escape from the Olmecs. Leguerra and Mendoza checks it out and believe it might lead to the Olmec base, but fail to notice the shadow of Ambrosius lingering around. Mendoza, Leguerra and Gaspard tries to get to the Olmec base while the others head to Chompard to begin constructing the city. At the castle Esteban is reunited with his father again that seems to be cured from his radioactive poisoning. He has to leave and assemble people he can think of helping them construct the city. Hopefully they save Mayuka that was imprisoned back in season 2 episode 1. Also, Nostradamus appears and informs us that the cataclysm will happen during the summer solstice, 3 months from the present day.

More Maasai documentary and a bit of the creatures of the savanna like giraffes and ostriches.

The Mysterious Cities of Gold - S4E20 - The Sacrifice

 

The adults are reunited with Gaspard and Leguerra and are to be brought to a lake for the sacrifice to appease the demons that have cast the locusts upon the maasai village. The sacrifice is a duel between to people on top of a rickety bridge over this lake of poison that I think turns them to stone or something like that. Mendoza and Gaspard is first and fight each other to settle their differences from the first season and onward.

The kids was able to locate them and finding a kid that have been around they learn that the demons appears to be olmecs that kidnaps children like they did back in the first season, the shaman being one of them that returned. They arrive at the sacrifice and Zia uses the crown from the fire witch to summon the locusts that chase away the shaman. They are all freed and sets out together.

The documentary is more about the maasai village and the women's role in their society as well as a bit info on locusts swarms.
