Edward and the rest of the Brotherhood catch up to Noah and Nicole, and Edward angrily tells Noah that he's leading them on a wild goose chase. He throws Noah against a wall and levels his gun at him. But then he lowers it, looking past Noah. Noah turns and sees, through a crack in the wall, Shangri-La. It's a nice big place surrounded by mountains with seemingly beautiful weather. There is a temple in the center.
The group, having ditched their winter gear somewhere, approaches the temple. They walk along its grounds, which are lined with Buddhist-esque statues. Buddhist monks are hanging out, and seem not at all surprised to see that they have guests for the first time in, like, thousands of years. In fact, explains a man waiting for them at the entrance, it has been "long prophesized" that they would come today. Edward pushes his way forward and demands the spear piece. The Brotherhood take out their weapons and aim. The head monk sighs and makes a dismayed face. When this is all over, he's going to have to dock the prophesier's pay for not catching this. Also, if I were Edward, I wouldn't be so quick to assume that my weapons even worked against people who have been living in this magical land and are, like, thousands of years old and don't have a food supply. They just may be immortal.
The group enters the temple, which is lined with monks. They bow their greeting. Edward demands that the monks open the big old statue that contains the spear piece. Monk says that they only protect the spear; they have no idea how to open it. Edward pushes Noah forward and tells him to get the spear piece or he'll kill Nicole. Noah approaches the statue and says that something is wrong; the clue says that the statue can only be opened with "the name of God." "So?" sneers Edward. So, says Noah, no one knows the name of God. But Edward is still pointing his gun at Nicole's head, so I guess he's going to try. Noah studies some writing on the Buddha statue's stomach, then presses whatever symbols correspond to the letters "M" and "E." They light up and the statue opens. Well, that was easy. "Me!" Noah says. Head monk smiles proudly, even though I wouldn't be quite so excited that the evil people were getting the spear piece that it was my ONE JOB to protect. "God is within us all," Noah adds, teaching us all a lesson about something.
The spear piece comes forward, surrounded by fog because hey, they had a couple days left over from the fog machine rental they used for the Mayan temple scenes so they figured why not? Plus, the fog obscures our vision of the spear piece so we can't really tell how cheap it looks. Noah tells Edward to go ahead and take the third piece, but Edward tells Noah to grab it, in case it's a trap. Noah reaches in and takes the piece out without incident. Edward grabs it from him and gets on his walkie-talkie to his helicopter pilot, telling him to "track [Edward's] signal" and come pick them up, like, I don't know how exactly that's supposed to happen considering that they are currently in a magical world or whatever. Suddenly, the ground starts to shake, which is enough to distract the Brotherhood. Nicole kicks Edward a couple times and takes the spear piece away from him while the monks take on the rest of the Brotherhood. Noah and Nicole run for the door, but Edward is standing in front of it, and he has a gun. He demands the spear piece. Nicole responds by chucking it behind her. Then she and Noah run away. Instead of shooting them, Edward runs to get the spear.
