The eyes of Horus

I watched the scene during the film's climax several times where Horus and Bek are falling off the obelisk and I could not figure out how Horus got the first eye back. They show the eye go rolling off the thing at the same time Bek is sliding to his death. Horus has to choose which to go after and he saves Bek.
Then they both fall, but Horus is able to transform and fly at the last second, saving them both. When they land Horus says he always thought he had to have his eyes to transform. Then all of a sudden you can see he has one of the eyes back in his head. He gets the second one back toward the end of the movie when that little girl hands it to him. So the girl must have found the eye that fell from the top of the obelisk, right? But how did Horus get the first one back? What did I miss?

Bek stole the first Eye from Set's supposedly burglar proof pyramid, that was in the first 1/4 of the movie when Bek is jumping around inside the pyramid [only one was there since Set had plans for the other in his collection of god's powers]

Bek gives it to Horus when he visits him in his prison pyramid and so he can help him release Zaya from the afterlife

Hi, Manuel:
Thanks for your reply. Sorry that my post wasn't clear. Yes, I remember that part pretty well when Bek did his Indiana Jones act inside the pyramid. There was just the one eye in there and he took it. Later he gives that eye to Horus when he finds him so that Horus will bring his girlfriend Zaya back from the dead.
Horus has just the one eye all the way up to when they encounter Set (after they have visited Ra) inside the pyramid. There's a fight, Thoth gets killed, Bek doesn't pour the water out of that flask like he should have to stop Set, etc. But then during all of the hubbub, doesn't Set take that eye away from Horus again? Or am I crazy?
Hell, I guess I better watch the silly thing again, right? LOL

Its not shown when/how Set kept the one eye, he already had it with him or in his pyramid ready for when he collected Thoth's brain and Isis' wings... Horus still had his other eye that Bek gave him all the way to the end
It was all part of Set's plan for his super god powers, and why not BOTH eyes? [can't remember how that plan was talked about it with Set & his Master Builder]

I thought this was a more 'serious' movie [like the last Noah movie] but then I saw a lot of birds flying a boat in & the fighting & turning into animals and gold blood and I said "oh, silly like Clash of the Ttians" ...lol
