Known for his depictions of the apocalypse, will the guys battle demons to capture this valuable work, or is this demonic image more than they bargained for? Then, Corey feels like a third wheel when he checks out two trike-style motorcycles in the same day. Both equipped with V8 engines, will Corey be overpowered by these tricked out machines, or will a tough negotiation "tri" has patience? And later, a guy comes in with a statue of 80's advertising icon Spuds McKenzie. Will Rick and Chumlee try to tame this party animal, or has this dog already had his day?

    The Pawn Stars travel to Utah for a rare shot at a 19th century Hotchkiss Revolving Cannon. A rapid-fire weapon used decisively in the Spanish American War, will Rick overwhelm the seller with an explosive offer, or will negotiations hit a turn for the worse and blow up in his face? Then, Corey and Chumlee try to get the party started, when an antique Wurlitzer jukebox grooves its way into the shop. Will the guys be able to stay in tune long enough to make a deal or will they be left singing the blues? And later, a woman comes in hoping to sell her antique medical quackery device. An electric zapping machine called a "Master Violet Ray," will this piece of weird science heal all of the shop's problems or cause them to seek a second opinion?

    Banned from The Bible II

    Take another look at ancient texts that were edited out of the Bible. Are they the missing links to Christ's true teachings, or heretical attempts to rewrite history? Explore the kabalistic stories of angels and demons disavowed by orthodox leaders, and the apocalyptic visions and the sexual imagery that were barred from the Old Testament. Why was Peter's account of a "Lord of The Rings"-style battle of wits and magic repressed by Rome? With discoveries being made all across the world--in caves, ruined temples, ancient libraries and monasteries--these tantalizing fragments continue to be found and debated. Are they heresy or hidden truth?

    There are six places on Earth believed to be actual entrances into Hell. They include a volcano in Iceland, a cave in the jungles of Central America, and a lake of fire in Africa. According to ancient myth and Christian legend, each is a passage to a terrifying underworld for the damned. Even today, some believe they are still portals. Eerily, they share striking similarities.

And later, the Old Man has a chance to buy an original unused ticket to the 1965 classic bout between Muhammad Ali and Floyd Patterson.

Once a plane that nobody wanted, today it's the principal Navy and Marine fighter-attacker--with a flick of a switch, it transforms from bomber to fighter.

    The Templar Code

    For nearly two centuries, the Knights Templar were the medieval world's most powerful order, a fearsome and unstoppable Crusader militia. Then came accusations of unspeakable crimes. Who were the Templars, really? How did they become so powerful, so fast, and why did they fall just as quickly? Evidence hints that the Templars excavated under Jerusalem's Temple of Solomon. What did they find there? Was it, as The Da Vinci Code suggests, the true identity of the Holy Grail--the bloodline of Christ? Or an unimaginable treasure, documented in the Dead Sea Scrolls, buried 1,000 years before Christ's birth? We explore the Templar's origin, how they lived, trained, fought and became a medieval world power, and the suspicious circumstances behind their sudden downfall. Plus, we reveal why these warriors, dead for seven centuries, and their treasure still populate Hollywood blockbusters. Narrated by Ed Herrmann and featuring preeminent Templar authors.

    Banned from The Bible

    In a 2-hour special, we scrutinize ancient writings that didn't "make the cut" in the battle to create a Christian Bible in the new religion's first few centuries. Biblical archaeologists and scholars examine why they were left out and if others might yet be found. Beginning with the little-known Life of Adam and Eve, we also peruse the Book of Jubilees, the Book of Enoch, the Gospel of Thomas, the Protevangelium of James, the Gospel of Mary, the Gospel of Nicodemus, and the Apocalypse of Peter.
