You know, these mating rituals,

they look a little ridiculous...

...but these natives

really know their stuff.

Over there. Now. Go.

Pretend like it's not

getting to you a little.

Good night, Flynn.

Good night, Nicole.

Oh, yeah.

She wants me.

Good night.

Flynn?

Where's the funny guy I was with?

They are here.

Flynn!

Move. Come on.

Move! This way, through the hut.

The book!

I know, I know. I got it, I got it.

They're right behind us. Move.

Flynn, run.

They're right behind us.

- Flynn, come on, stop looking back. Move.

- Nicole, wait.

Bad guys chasing behind us.

Don't ever leave my sight again,

understand?

What is this, Slap the Librarian Day?

Oh, I get it, you're just being professional.

It isn't as if you genuinely care for me.

Shut up.

Why are you smiling?

I don't like it when you smile.

That means you're about

to do something dangerous.

Oh, you know me so well.

Don't look down.

Did you see that?

That Librarian is incredible.

Flynn.

Flynn, take my hand.

- Nicole!

- Come on!

Flynn!

Flynn!

- Nicole. Nicole.

- I got you.

According to the book, we take this river

and follow the sun until it ends.

And I do believe the sun has ended.

All right. Now we're close.

All we have to do...

...is walk the circumference

of the Earth...

...divided by the length

of the Fortress of Ollantaytambo.

Oh, yeah? And how the hell

are we gonna figure that out?

Seven hundred and ninety-two yards.

That way.

One, two, three, four.

Five, six.

Seven hundred and ninety, 791, 792.

Well, there's nothing.

You must have got something wrong.

I don't get facts wrong.

It's everything else I screw up.

When the Toltecs invaded Chichn Itz...

...it was rumored

that a group of Mayan priests...

...fled Mexico with their entire treasury.

As the story goes...

...they built a Mayan temple deep

in the Amazon jungle to hide the treasure...

...never to be heard from again.

So how do we get inside, genius?

Those are Mayan numbers.

Mayan priests were obsessed

with numbers.

- Oh, you'd fit right in.

- The time it takes a bird to become a bird.

To get inside you must know the time

it takes a bird to become a bird again.

- The procession.

- Yay! What is that?

The time it takes the constellations,

what Mayans called "birds of heaven"...

...to make a complete revolution

around the galaxy, 25,765 years.

The Mayans were the first to discover it.

All right.

Twenty-five thousand.

Seven hundred.

Sixty-five.

Watch out!

Where are we?

I am not sure.

We are in a Mayan death chamber.

Escape is granted only to those

who can solve the secret of the room.

Yep.

The only way out...

...is that doorway on the other side.

Okay, so how do we get to that door?

That's the secret.

That's not good.

We have to find a way to get

to that doorway on the other side...

...before the wall pushes us

into the abyss.

- Oh, really?

- Yep.

- Any clues in that book of yours?

- No, no.

- Okay, we're on our own.

- So now what?

I'm not sure.

Now would be a damn good time

to come up with something brilliant.

"Sure, Flynn, just figure it out.

That's why you're on the mission. "

Focus. Big mission. Fate of the world.

- Nothing's coming to me.

- Great. Choking, just like I knew you would.

Hey. Oh, I get it, reverse psychology.

- Good.

- No, not reverse psychology.

- Anger, annoyance.

- Okay, I got it.

This is an exact replica

of their Great Temple of Teotihuacn.

Three hundred quahuitls by 20 quahuitls.

There is a place in this chamber

where all priests...

...could receive salvation no matter what,

and that place would be...

...there?

That's midair, Sherlock.

You trust me?

You only live once.

- Unless you believe in Buddhism or Sikhism.

- I hate you.

Well...

Optical illusion. Mirrors.

The Mayans were the first tribe

in the Americas to use them.

Good.

There it is.

- There's the second piece.

- No.

Well, it's an exact rhythm.

One, two, three. One, two, three.

- Why does that sound so familiar?

- It's called a waltz.

We have to dance our way

to the treasure.

I broke every toe of every girl

that I danced with at my high school prom.

Even my mother wouldn't dance with me.

- You took your mother to the high school...?

- All right, all right. Don't start.

Come on, we'll do it together.

It's easy. It's all in the hips and the butt.

One, two, three. One, two, three.

One, two, three.

- No, no.

- What?

- Not yet. Not ready yet.

- One, two, three. One, two, three.

- One, two, three. One, two, three.

- One, two, three.

- One, two, three. One, two, three.

- One, two, three. One, two, three.

- Shouldn't I be the one dipping you?

- Technically.

You better have a damn good reason

for doing that.

Yeah, well, these things

are always booby-trapped.

- I'll do it.

- No, I can do it. I can do it.

I just forgot to factor in...

...the slope of the floor.

- So there.

- Okay.

This means that all biblical history

has to be reevaluated.

Why don't you get

the last piece of the Spear...

...and then you and Judson can have

a lovely long chat in Aramaic...

...about all the history stuff

while I take a shower.

I believe the phrase is "hands up. "

Up.

I really admire your work.

I knew you'd bring me the piece, Nicole.

- Edward?

- You're the last Librarian.

Wait a minute.

- You're dead.

- And yet, here I stand.

- I saw you die.

- You saw an elaborate special effect.

Your tears were perfect.

I couldn't have planned it better myself.

So they really didn't cut off your head.

You're the Librarian?

But why?

Absolute power

is the ultimate aphrodisiac.

You remember how I loved

a good aphrodisiac.

I'll kill you, you bastard.

Goodbye, Nicole.

It really was nice to see you again.

- You can't kill her.

- Why not?

Because you need me

to find the last piece.

And I won't do it without her.

I don't need you.

I have this.

The Language of the Birds.

Nobody can read this.

Nobody except a real Librarian.

In the Language of the Birds,

that means you're up the creek...

...and I've got the only paddle.

Tell me where the piece is,

and I'll let her live.

- Don't tell him.

- It's in Shangri-la.

Don't screw with me. That's a legend.

Shangri-la is in Mount Kailas.

- In the Himalayas.

- Idiot.

Excuse me for trying

to save your life again.

The Spear is more important than my life.

He's not gonna get

anywhere near that spear.

Unless I interpret the clues in that book.

That's Mount Kailas.

Where's your Shangri-la?

We can't find it from the air.

All the clues are on the ground.

Lars, we're gonna have to climb.

Get ready to take her down.

At least you didn't fail at your job.

He's still alive.

No, he just faked his own death...

...and became head of the very

evil organization we've been fighting.

That's much better.

It's this way.

Flynn! No!

I got you.

Hold on.

Nicole.

Come on.

Not on my watch.

You're leading me on a wild-goose chase.

I should kill you myself.

Welcome.
