This was just a

terrible accident.

What are we supposed

to do with the body?

What about his family?

We'll send him

back with the guides.

And don't worry, I'll take

care of all the expenses.

You can't fix this

sh*t with money, man.

The man has a family that

doesn't even know he's dead

and you want to send his body on

a mule with a f***ing paycheck.

What the f*** is wrong with you?

I didn't push him into

the hole, all right?

This was just an accident.

Listen, I have to finish

what I came here to do.

And if you don't like

it, you can leave.

Just make sure you don't

disclose any information

about this place.

OK?

F*** you, f*** your

job, and f*** your money!

Hey, hey!

Come on.

- No, no.

- F***!

Hey, Come on.

We're going to do this.

Doctor, Miller, no fast tricks

or any sh*t like that, OK?

Especially no

[inaudible] bullshit.

Is that clear?

Yes.

The second rule

here is safety.

- OK.

- OK.

Mark, you're going

to go right after me

so you can take your footage.

- You got it.

That's right.

Yeah, got it?

Got it.

OK.

Hang on to it carefully.

There you go.

There you go.

- I got it.

- OK.

OK.

Mark, are you ready?

Yes, boss.

...the step.

Hey, come down, you're

the next contestant.

This is quite something.

Watch your head.

OK, guys, we're going

to prep our next stage here.

- Mark.

- Yeah.

Help Manny with all the gear.

We're going to make

sure the place is safe

and then you can

take your footage.

- Got it.

- Jorge.

Si.

Bring all the power lines.

OK.

OK?

Dr. Green, are you safe?

I'm always safe.

Watch your step.

OK.

Watch it.

Watch it.

- OK.

- OK.

- OK.

- OK.

Slowly.

OK.

OK.

This is good.

Manny, are we

seriously doing singles?

Yep.

Tried to do doubles here.

Over there.

That pattern over there,

that's the entrance.

Oh, wow.

Huh?

More steps.

Guys, there's more steps here.

We don't need to rappel any more

when you reach this point, OK?

OK.

I wonder who put

these steps here.

Yeah.

Watch your step, Mark.

Got it.

Wow.

This is it.

Danielle, gear up and

get your team to gear up.

We need to explore here.

This doesn't feel right

Hold up.

Hold on, babe.

It's not the time for you

to do something like this.

We're not supposed

to be down here.

She's right.

She's f***ing right.

We don't need another dead

body around here, do we, Doc?

Manny, control your situation.

Raul, as I said before, you're

free to go whenever you want.

All right, listen up, everybody.

We can't stop now.

So if anybody wants to

back out, now's the time.

If you want to stay behind,

Miller will take care of you.

Isn't that right, Miller?

Whatever you need.

You see?

You're going to be safe.

Safe and dry.

And maybe we will need you.

You're a professional diver.

You know how to monitor us, OK?

Please help us.

You're taking it too far.

Mark, camera ready?

Yeah, sure.

Raul?

Jorge is ready with the lights.

Christ on a crutch.

Dr. Green, maybe

you want now to tell

us what are we looking for.

The lost Hall of Records.

I thought Fray Diego de Landa

took care of all the codices.

That's a little bit naive.

He only burned a little

over half a dozen of them.

They may have taken

some back to Rome,

but the lost library

of the Mayans

was lost five centuries before

the Spaniards even arrived.

It is said to contain

at least thousands

of manuscripts and codices.

We're going to do a loop

and come back as soon as we get

down to a third of our tanks.

Roger that.

OK, let's have some fun.

Raul, Jorge, Mark,

can you read me?

Yep.

Jorge, the immersion [inaudible]...

Raul.

Say it.

Very good, Mark.

Let's take care of

these five things

and we're all going to be fine.

Dude, you're such a nerd.

Check out

these permissions, guys.

I can't believe we're getting

a hundred Gs to do this sh*t.

Everyone, check

your air and report.

Ten percent.

Same here.

Twelve.

Fourteen.

This is the most

beautiful place in the world.

I'll be damned, guys.

You gotta check this out.

This is unreal.

How'd they get this

thing down here?

Mark, time's up.

Let's go back.

Just a sec, boss.

I got some footage of

this plaque for Dr. Green.

He's going to love it.

OK, we are leaving now.

Jorge, take the lead.

There it is.

No, it's not clear enough.

I need to go down there.

It's not clear?

I was just comparing some

of the glyphs on the entrance

rock and the ones on the walls

with some ancient

Sumerian inscriptions that

talk about a non-ignited star

that visits our solar system

every 3,200 years.

It's four times

bigger than Jupiter

and supposedly brings

punishment to all humanity.

The Mayans named it

Va Sheck, which is

a Mayan word for dark mirror.

According to the

legend, we're all

to meet our own demons

again upon the arrival

of this dark star.

The legend provides that

for every human incarnated

on earth, there is an evil

copy in the dark star craving

to possess a physical

body on our planet.

They were defeated and captured

the last time they tried.

Captured?

Where?

Well, according

to the glyphs, here.

And what do you think?

What do I think?

I think the Mayans left

these glyphs to deceive me.

Oh my god, babe!

What?

Oh my god.

Oh my god!

What the f***?

What in the f***?

Grab one of-- yeah.

Get those f***ing

things in there.

Hold on.

Get back.

Get back.

Hold on.

Ready?

You guys are all right?

Yes.

Yes.

Thanks a lot, man.

No problem.

Where are they coming from?

I don't f***ing know.

Guys, we're doing

the same loop we did yesterday.

Everybody OK?

Copy that.

Dr. Green, we're

going to follow the line

to our last checkpoint,

exactly as we

did when we crossed the cavern.

Stay right behind me.

Got it.

Doctor, there is a chamber coming up.

Watch your head coming

out of the water.

OK.

Babe, stay by

in case we need you.

This place is spectacular.

Look at the size of this roof.

Man, I can't believe this sh*t.

It just gets better and better.

We're on the right track,

I can feel it.

There is another

flooded tunnel here.

Get ready.

Just follow me.

Dr. Green, stay close.

Your status, everyone?

Almost twenty percent.

Eighteen percent.

Fourteen.

Right there with Jorge.

Seventeen.

OK.

I'm at fourteen.

Doctor, when you reach

thirteen, we go back.

Copy that.

What the hell are those things?

Holy Mother of God.

Mark, tell me

you're getting this.

Every frame of it.

I always knew, I was

born for this moment.

What is this place?

Who are these guys?

Look at these paintings.

Ancient aliens.

Annunakis.

I knew it.

This has got to be it.

The lost library of the Mayans.

You better get over here, Doctor.

You have to see this.

Just keep an eye on your gauges.

This is impossible.

What are those things?

My god.

This is it!

This is extraterrestrial

technology.

What is this place?

It doesn't look like

a library to me.

Danielle, we should go back now.

Wait a minute.

This is a freaking

Japanese cemetery.
