Bob stands up and says that a Librarian hundreds of years ago decided that the Spear was too powerful to remain intact: since it couldn't be destroyed, he broke it into three pieces and scattered those pieces around the world. Noah says that's great then, because the burglars only have the fragment and that won't do any harm, will it? Bob says that Hitler had a fragment, too, and look at what he did. Suddenly, Jane gasps, and my TiVo again pauses itself. So I don't know what exactly happened there, but my guess is that she noticed that one of the robbers had a snake tattoo on his or her person, and that means that the spear was stolen by The Serpent Brotherhood, an evil organization that remind me of G.I. Joe's opponent, C.O.B.R.A.
Noah picks up the phone to call the police and report the robbery, at which Jane makes fun of him for not realizing how crazy he would sound if he were to inform the police that a fragment of the Spear of Destiny had been taken. Noah puts the phone down. Bob tells Noah that he is the only person who can bring the spear fragment back to The Library. Noah laughs at this, knocking some items of a desk while he's at it. Bob says that Noah is the only person on the planet who can do this, and Jane adds that if Noah is successful, he'll be a hero. Noah is all, "'If'?" Bob ignores this and gives Noah a special book that the burglars didn't find because Bob was hiding it in the "plain sight" of his table. Bob says that the book contains all the clues Noah will need to locate the other two Spear pieces. He says that the second piece is somewhere in the Amazon Jungle. Jane throws Noah his backpack and tells him to get going.
The trio proceeds down a staircase. Noah skims through the book and instantly deduces that it is written in the language of the Birds. At first, I thought this meant that the book was just a series of tweets and chirps, but Noah is actually talking about the language spoken by all humans until they all got together and, with the awesome teamwork skills that come with sharing a common language, built the Tower of Babel and it got a little too close to Heaven for God, so God made humans speak in all different languages. And that's why we have Spanish today. Noah says that the language of the Birds is a "dead language," although to be "dead," I thought something had to exist in the first place. According to this movie, however, the Bible is true and everything in it totally happened, so I'm kind of wondering why this is showing on TNT instead of, say, the PAX network. And how I always get stuck recapping shows with these pseudo-religious themes.
