A mechanical condor descends onto the Nazca plateau, landing within a massive geoglyph as Spanish soldiers alert Governor Pizarro. The following day, children inspect the lines while Pedro and Sancho find a cobra-shaped control stick inside the machine. Pizarro arrives and arrests the group, forcing Esteban to demonstrate the bird or sacrifice his companions. Mendoza advises Esteban to comply with the demand, planning to use the demonstration as a cover for a mass escape. The segment concludes with a brief informational feature regarding the historical Nazca Lines.
