MCOG OPENING THEME (TRACK 21) 1m 42s
THE OLMEQUES (TRACK 29) 1m 44s
In the last episode of Mysterious Cities of Gold, our friends do battle with the Olmecs with a little help from the golden condor, but in the battle, Zia’s father is terminally wounded. But not before he has revealed the exact location of one of the cities of gold.
TAO’S THEME (TRACK 5) 2m 29
Tao ponders his jar; why does it react to the Olmecs' crystal? Is their power source similar to the sun-power with which the Hiva people destroyed themselves? Gomez and Gaspard turn up, forcing the children to go into the mountain with them. Wynacocha announces that the main body of the Olmec army has been defeated.
THE OLMECS (Track 29) 1M 44S
The three sailors hear about the children being taken into the mountain and look for a way to follow them inside. Gomez, Gaspard and the children are coaxed down a corridor and a long staircase by a projection of Menator. The children manage to escape and run ahead. Gomez and Gaspard give chase, and they all end up in the cryochamber where the suspended Olmecs are kept.
Menator makes another holographic appearance, explaining the plight of his people:
Long ago a terrible war broke out, most of the world's population wiped out. The Olmecs took refuge in the mountain, the Earth poisoned by the war. Over generations, their bodies changed. No longer able to bear children, they seek immortality through their cell-transplant experiments.
Menator pretends to know the location of the Cities of Gold to trick Gomez and Gaspard into co-operating. It works, and they follow him, dragging the children along. The three sailors, meanwhile, enter the mountain via the cave with the stream.
Gomez, Gaspard, and the children, are led to the room with the huge face on the wall. It slides open from the centre, and Menator invites them to enter the darkness beyond. The children try to escape but are cornered.
Mendoza, Sancho and Pedro burst in, and a fight ensues.
Menator drags Zia into the darkness. The wall slides closed. Menator looks down from one of the face's eyes, threatening to hurt Zia. Rather than allow this, Esteban tells him where the Cities of Gold are. Light fills the room. A strange Olmec machine burrows its way through the mountain, bringing ceilings crashing down all over the base. The Doctor and his companions escape from their cell only to be killed by the machine's passing. The machine emerges into the open air, revealing itself to be a bizarre flying machine.
PRINCIPAL THEME (Track 21) 1m 27s
The Olmec flying machine attacks the Maya, vaporising some with a heat ray. Esteban heads back to the condor to chase the Olmec machine in the hope of rescuing Zia.
Tao and Mendoza go with him.
An aerial game of cat and mouse ensues between the two craft.
The Olmec machine rams the condor, trying to force it to land. That fails, so the Olmecs fire warning shots with the heat ray. Esteban takes the condor above the Olmec machine, upside down; opening the canopy he jumps onto the top of the Olmec machine, Tao following and leaving Mendoza to roughly land the condor. The Olmec machine lands near the condor, and Mendoza slips away.
Esteban and Tao, on the roof of the Olmec machine, find an way in, and once inside follow a guard to the control room. Once there they knock out the machine's pilots. Tao tries to figure out the machine's controls, causing chaos as it hurls itself around. Kalmec comes to the control room to investigate, and while Esteban runs off to find Zia, he captures Tao. Esteban finds Zia with Menator on the command deck. Zia closes the door. Kalmec fetches a portable heat-ray gun to cut open the door. Esteban breaks the window and he and Zia jump out into the lake below. Esteban swims, carrying Zia, to a nearby island.
END THEME TRACK 36 1M 50
In our next episode of Mysterious Cities of Gold, Esteban and Zia are washed up on a nearby island but wake up finding themselves in bed and looking up at the High Priest of the Cities of Gold. Mendoza meanwhile has worked out where the cities of gold are and he, Sancho and Pedro are planning the final stage of their journey. Join us as our story continues.
