Nicole and Noah jump and land in mid-air. Noah kneels and knocks on the invisible floor. He says they're standing on an optical illusion, a mirror. Noah explains that the Mayans were the first to use them, and jumps across the other side, and Nicole follows. They enter a chamber with a fog machine in it, and I guess the Mayans were the first to figure those out as well. The second piece of the spear is at the end of a long hallway. Noah steps forward, but Nicole pulls him back, just in time to avoid getting nailed by a wall of CGI arrows. The camera pulls back to show that the hallway is filled with a booby-traps. Besides the arrows, we have some swinging axe-things and a bunch of lightning bolts. Don't ask me how the Mayans managed to make those, and so well that, a thousand years later, they were still going.
Noah realizes that the booby traps occur at a steady rhythm. Nicole figures out that the rhythm is a waltz. "We have to dance our way to the treasure!" she says. Damn, the Mayans invented the waltz too? Noah laughs and says he can't dance, and reveals that he took his own mother to his high-school prom with him. Damn, that's...damn. Nicole grabs his arms as a waltz starts up on the soundtrack. She tells him to relax, and they start to dance. They make their way past all the ridiculous traps and finish with a Nicole dipping Noah, just as two buzz saw things come flying at them at neck level.
Noah and Nicole approach the spear piece, which is surrounded by piles of Mayan treasure and more fog. Nicole reaches for spear, but Noah smacks her hand away, saying that the pedestal could be booby-trapped, because, like the writers of this movie, he's seen Indiana Jones. Noah picks up a piece of gold and chucks it at the spear. The spear goes flying off the pedestal, and a big stone carving of a face slams onto the ground in front of the pedestal. Noah walks around it and picks up the spear piece.
Somehow, Nicole and Noah have left the Temple. Noah is muttering something about Biblical history, and Nicole starts to make fun of him -- until she sees the entire Brotherhood waiting for them outside the temple, weapons raised. Kelly walks up and takes Nicole's machete and Noah's spear piece, being sure to tell him shyly that she is a big fan of his.
The Brotherhood bring Noah and Nicole back to the fancy camp they've set up. Out of a tent comes one Kyle MacLachlan. Nicole looks surprised to see him. Noah, too: "You're the last Librarian!" Noah says. "You're dead." And he's the smart one. Nicole says she saw Edward die. "You saw an elaborate special effect," Edward responds. Well, I'm glad someone involved in this movie had something to do with an elaborate special effect. Nicole asks Edward why he would do this. "Ultimate power is the ultimate aphrodisiac," he says. While lame snake tattoos on one's hand are the ultimate opposite of that, I'd say. But it's nice to know that the writers have explained the entire basis of the conflict of this movie around Edward's need for sex. Nicole lunges at Edward, put is quickly pulled off of him by some cronies. Edward points a gun at her and says goodbye.
