 FADE IN:
 
 EXT. DESERT OF THE AMERICAN SOUTHWEST - DAY
 
 A mountain peak dominates the landscape.
 
 
 TITLES BEGIN.
 
 Riders on horseback cross the desert. From this distance they appear to be a
 company of Army Cavalry Soldiers.
 
 CLOSER ANGLES ON THE RIDERS
 
 reveal only details of saddles, hooves and uniforms. The riders are silhouetted
 against the rising sun as they ride into an ancient CLIFF PUEBLO.
 
 The OFFICER IN COMMAND raises his hand halting his troops.
 
 OFFICER
 Dis-mount!
 
 RIDERS climb down from their mounts... and only now do we realize that
 this is a TROOP OF BOY SCOUTS, all of them about thirteen years of age. The
 \"Commanding Officer\" is only their SCOUTMASTER, Mr. Havelock.
 
 One of the Scouts, a pudgy kid named HERMAN, steps away from his horse,
 bends over and pukes. The other Scouts rag on him.
 
 FIRST SCOUT
 Herman\'s horsesick!
 
 A BLOND SCOUT, however, befriends Herman. He has a thatch of straw-colored
 hair and the no-nonsense expression common to kids whose curiosity and appetite
 for knowledge exceed what they teach in school. Additionally, he has adorned his
 uniform with an authentic HOPI INDIAN WOVEN BELT.
 
 SCOUTMASTER
 Chaps, don\'t anybody wander off.
 Some of the passageways in here
 can run for miles.
 
 Two Boy Scouts climb up the rocky base of the cliff.
 
 
 INT. THE PASSAGEWAY - DAY
 
 The two boys head down the passageway. It\'s dark, and the temperature drops
 several degrees. Spiders have built huge webs that get caught in the boys\' hair.
 
 HERMAN appears very uncertain as to the wisdom of this enterprise, but he\'s
 drawn on by his companion\'s adventurous curiosity.
 
 
 CONTINUED:
 
 HERMAN
 I don\'t think this is such a good
 idea.
 
 LAUGHTER is HEARD; the Blond Scout pulls Herman forward toward its source.
 
 The VOICES GROW LOUDER now as the boys get closer to their source. The light
 of kerosene lanterns dances on the tunnel walls ahead. The boys approach
 cautiously, careful to stay hidden.
 
 HERMAN
 What is it?
 
 This is what they see:
 
 
 FOUR MEN digging with shovels and pick-axes. They have broken into one of the
 pueblo\'s SECRET CHAMBERS... called \"Kivas.\"
 
 The men are ROUGH RIDER (his name describes his dress), ROSCOE (a Bowery
 Boy bully of 14) and HALFBREED (with straight black hair that cascades over his
 shoulders).
 
 And the fourth man wears a LEATHER WAIST JACKET and BROWN FELT
 FEDORA HAT. He has his back turned to us, but we would be willing to bet
 anything that this is INDLANA JONES.
 
 However, when the man turns, and his face is illuminated by the lantern\'s glow,
 we are shocked to discover that it is someone else.
 
 We\'ll call him FEDORA.
 
 TITLES END.
 
 The TWO BOYS are mesmerized by what they see.
 
 Now we realize that the Blond Scout is actually young INDIANA JONES.
 
 FEDORA
 Alfred, did you get anything yet?
 
 MAN
 Nothing. Dig in.
 
 Two of the men stand and look at ROSCOE who steps forward holding a box in his
 hands.
 
 ROSCOE
 Hey, I\'ve got something!
 
 Whoops from the other men.
 
 ROSCOE
 I got something, Garth!
 
 CONTINUED: (2)
 
 ROSCOE rushes forward and gives FEDORA the box. Fedora steps toward a
 lantern resting on a rock.
 
 ROSCOE
 I got something... I got something
 right here.
 
 More whoops from the other men.
 
 FEDORA puts the box on the rock next to the lantern. HALFBREED pushes
 ROSCOE as he jumps with excitement. ROUGH RIDER steps forward to look at the
 box as Fedora opens it.
 
 ROSCOE
 (more whoops; then)
 Oh, look at thatl
 (more whoops)
 We\'re richl We\'re rich!
 
 HALFBREED
 Shut up. Shut up.
 
 FEDORA takes a BEJEWELED CROSS from the box and holds it aloft. Fedora\'s
 comrades practically salivate at the sight of it.
 
 ROSCOE (O.S.)
 Well, we\'re rich, ain\'t we?l
 
 INDY takes off his hat and looks down at the o.s. action.
 
 HERMAN
 Indy? Indy? What are they doing?
 Indiana? Indiana?
 
 INDY
 Shhhl
 
 FEDORA blows dust from the Cross, turning it in his hand, silently appraising its
 beauty... and its value. He seems aloof from the others; somehow superior to
 them.
 
 HALFBREED
 Hey, we got to find more stuff
 to bring back.
 
 INDY stays hidden, but is astounded by what he sees.
 
 INDY
 (hushed; urgent)
 It\'s the Cross of Coronadol
 Cortes gave it to him in 15201
 
 
 CONTINUED: (3)
 
 FEDORA continues to admire the Cross, then places it on the rock next to its box
 and the lantern.
 
 INDY turns back to observe the men.
 
 INDY
 That Cross is an important artifact.
 It belongs in a museum.
 
 A look of resolve comes into INDY\'s expression, and he turns back toward
 HERMAN.
 
 INDY
 Run back and find the others.
 Tell Mister Havelock that there
 are men looting in the caves.
 
 HERMAN doesn\'t seem to be listening. Instead, he watches in wide-eyed horror
 as a SNAKE SLITHERS ACROSS HIS LAP.
 
 INDY
 Have him bring the sheriff.
 
 INDY matter-of-factly picks up the snake and tosses it aside. HERMAN gasps.
 
 INDY
 It\'s only a snake.
 
 INDY grabs HERMAN\'s scout scarf and pulls him closer.
 
 INDY
 Did you hear what I said?
 
 HERMAN
 Right. Run back. Mister Havelock.
 The Sheriff. What, what are you
 gonna do?
 
 INDY
 I don\'t know... I\'ll think of
 something.
 
 INDY releases the scarf, gives HERMAN a pat and Herman dashes off. Indy sees
 the Cross on the rock next to the lantern. As the Robbers continue to search for
 additional valuables, Indy is able to work his way unseen to within arm\'s reach of
 the Cross...
 
 FEDORA looks over at the men digging in a hole b.g.
 
 FEDORA
 Dig with your hands.
 
 INDY picks up the Cross.
 
 
 CONTINUED: (4)
 
 FEDORA (O . S . )
 Not with your mouth.
 
 As FEDORA stands watching the other men digging, INDY puts the Cross in his
 pants and begins to pull himself up a rope hanging nearby. As he climbs, Indy\'s
 feet break a wooden beam, attracting the men\'s attention.
 
 ROSCOE
 He\'s got our thing!
 
 HALFBREED
 Get \'im!
 
 
 
 The three Robbers are so eager to get their hands on INDY, they almost knock
 each other over in the attempt.
 
 Only FEDORA is unperturbed. He casts a disgusted glance in
 the direction of his fleeing companions-then sets off
 after INDY.
 
 
 
 EXT. THE CLIFFS - DAY
 
 INDY EMERGES from the darkness of the Pueblo into the brightness of day.
 
 He pauses-squints-shields his eyes-looks in all directions.
 
 INDY
 Mister Havelock! Anybody
 Everybody\'s lost but me!
 
 He hears RUNNING FOOTSTEPS BEHIND HIM and dashes off. ROUGH RIDER,
 HALFBREED, and ROSCOE are quick to appear and run after him.
 
 FEDORA
 There he isl
 
 MEN
 (AD-LIBS)
 Let\'s go! Let\'s get him! Let\'s
 go!
 
 Indy jumps from one rock to another; the SCOUT TROOP HORSES are below. Indy
 puts two fingers in his mouth and WHISTLES for his horse, who trots over. Indy
 puts the Cross in his belt.
 
 INDY PREPARES TO JUMP into the saddle. Hesitates. Then... he JUMPS. But
 the horse moves exactly at the wrong moment and Indy lands flat on his feet in a
 standing position. The impact sends a shock wave up his body that rattles his
 back teeth. Indy stands up and successfully mounts his horse.
 
 FEDORA AND HIS MEN ARRIVE at the roof\'s edge in time to see INDY climb into
 the saddle and gallop off.
 
 
 CONTINUED:
 
 INDY
 Hyahl Hyah!
 
 
 
 ROSCOE
 Hey! Come back here!
 
 FEDORA puts two fingers in his mouth and WHISTLES... and A VINTAGE TRUCK
 AND AUTOMOBILE come ROARING OUT from behind the Pueblo (Driven by two
 more gang members). Now we glimpse...
 
 
 THE MAN IN THE PANAMA HAT
 
 The passenger in the car. His face is concealed by the hat\'s wide brim. His arm
 is out the window, however, and we see an olive-colored hand protruding from
 the sleeve of an expensive white linen suit. He gestures to the Robbers, now in
 the truck.
 
 PANAMA HAT
 Come on. Get him!
 
 INDY SPURS his mount on to greater speeds but the autos not only keep pace
 with his horse... they begin to squeeze in on it.
 
 Speeding Autos. Thundering hooves. Rushing wind. Flying dust. INDY crouched
 low and leaning forward in the saddle, his heart pounding, his adrenalin
 pumping.
 
 INDY VEERS OFF in a new direction-toward a RAILROAD TRACK.
 
 
 EXT. A CIRCUS TRAIN - DAY
 
 The train is barreling down the track. INDY rides up beside it. He glances over
 his shoulder and sees the car and truck gaining on him. No other choice... he
 LEAPS FROM HORSE TO TRAIN.
 
 He clings to the side of a BOXCAR, as HALFBREED and ROUGH RIDER leap from
 the truck onto the train.
 
 HALFBREED tries to grab INDY, but Indy leaps onto another boxcar. Halfbreed
 runs after him but Indy leaps from the boxcar onto some covered boxes stacked
 on a flatcar.
 
 INDY loses his balance but regains it. With HALFBREED and ROUGH RIDER still
 running after him, Indy enters the trap door of...
 
 
 INT. THE REPTILE CAR - DAY
 
 and finds himself CRAWLING on a CATWALK suspended from the car\'s ceiling.
 Several feet below are NUMEROUS VATS containing all manner of reptiles:
 Alligators, crocodiles, giant lizards, etc.
 
 
 CONTINUED:
 
 Then, HALFBREED ENTERS through the trap door-followed by ROUGH RIDER.
 Halfbreed grabs hold of INDY\'s feet, but Indy kicks at him and he loses his grasp.
 
 INDY crawls away, toward an opening on the opposite side. HALFBREED grabs at
 Indy\'s feet again; Indy rolls away and we SEE large bins of squirming snakes.
 
 The combined weight of the three people is more than the catwalk was intended
 for, and the BOLTS BEGIN TO RIP FROM THE CEILING.
 
 Everyone holds their breath, afraid to make another move. Too late. SEVERAL
 BOLTS TEAR FREE. HALFBREED and ROUGH RIDER SCREAM... but it\'s Indy\'s
 end of the catwalk that DROPS DOWN... PLUNGING INDY to the floor of the car.
 
 He lands hard, with a SPLASH into a vat of water... where he finds himself eye-
 to-eye with an-
 
 ENORMOUS ANACONDA
 
 The head of this snake is so damn big, it looks more like a Tyrannosaurus Rex.
 
 INDY
 Oh...
 
 INDY jumps back in horror... only to land with a SQUISH into the SNAKE VAT.
 
 INDY
 Oh... Oh...
 
 Hundreds of slippery, squirming snakes. INDY sinks into them. They cover him.
 Engulf him. Almost smother him.
 
 INDY jumps out of the side of the vat, freeing himself.
 
 INDY locates a clean-out door at the bottom of the car and uses it to escape.
 
 HALFBREED, meanwhile, tries to open the closed window of the car. He groans.
 ROUGH RIDER moves to assist him.
 
 ROUGH RIDER
 Here, let me.
 
 
 
 EXT. THE TRAIN- DAY
 
 INDY stops, checks to see the Cross still lodged in his belt. Suddenly he looks
 worried as he frantically reaches into his shirt, REMOVES A SNAKE FROM and
 tosses it away.
 
 ROSCOE APPEARS atop the reptile car and manages to grab INDY. Indy kicks at
 him. Roscoe grabs onto the side of the reptile car as Indy moves on to...
 
 EXT. A FLATCAR - DAY
 
 INDY climbs over canvas-covered circus equipment. ROSCOE follows, grabbing a
 long stick with a hook on it. He reaches forward and trips Indy, who falls onto
 the roof of the rhino boxcar.
 
 
 INT. THE RHINO BOXCAR - DAY
 
 as a lamp falls from the ceiling with the impact of Indy\'s fall, hitting a HUGE
 BLACK RHINOCEROS.
 
 
 EXT. THE RHINO BOXCAR - DAY
 
 ROSCOE grabs INDY by the ankle and yanks him off his feet. The two struggle,
 rolling from side to side, coming perilously close to rolling right off the edge.
 Things get even more serious when Roscoe PULLS A KNIFE.
 
 
 IN THE BOXCAR BELOW
 
 ... THE FEROCIOUS BLACK RHINO is becoming extremely agitated by the
 commotion going on atop his cage. Finally, he raises his head and THRUSTS HIS
 HORN THROUGH THE ROOF.
 
 BACK TO THE ROOFTOP
 
 as the horn SMASHES through the wood only inches from INDY\'s head. Indy and
 Roscoe stare at the horn in amazement as they continue to struggle.
 SMASH! The horn comes up again-RIGHT BETWEEN INDY\'S LEGS.
 
 INDY
 Holy smokes!
 
 
 INDY kicks ROSCOE away. Roscoe rolls to the edge of the car but keeps from
 falling. Indy flips over onto his stomach.
 
 
 EXT. THE REPTILE CAR - DAY
 
 The WOODEN TRAP DOOR EXPLODES as a BULLET is FIRED from within. The
 door is pushed open and HALFBREED and ROUGH RIDER hurry out of the car.
 
 
 EXT. THE RHINO BOXCAR - DAY
 
 INDY gets to his feet-looks ahead-sees a WATER TANK alongside the track
 directly up ahead. Indy gets an idea...
 
 In an instant, he calculates his approach-times the distance-and LEAPS for
 the tank\'s WATER SPOUT.
 
 
 CONTINUED:
 
 He catches it perfectly... but his velocity causes the water spout to ROTATE A
 FULL 360 DEGREES. With INDY hanging on, feet kicking, the water spout
 deposits him back on the train, onto the ROOF OF A STOCKCAR, where he looks
 up to see FEDORA walking toward him.
 
 FEDORA
 Come on, kid. There\'s no way
 out of this.
 
 As INDY edges away from FEDORA, a portion of the STOCKCAR\'S ROOF
 COLLAPSES and Indy FALLS THROUGH into the car below.
 
 
 INT. THE STOCKCAR - DAY
 
 INDY CRASHES down from above. Dust rises.
 
 INDY
 Ohhh!
 
 INDY\'s eyes take a moment to adjust to the dark. A bit of sunlight leaks in
 through the cracks between the boards.
 
 Then INDY sees it. At the far end of the boxcar. Rising slowly to its feet... an
 AFRICAN LION. The Lion ROARS. The boxcar walls shake. Indy gasps. Dust
 swirls up into the shafts of sunlight.
 
 And INDY has one more surprise in store: The Cross of Cortes has been dislodged
 from his belt during the fall...
 
 INDY glances around, sees a coiled LION TAMER\'S WHIP hanging on a nail. He
 carefully takes it down by the handle. The Lion sees this and GROWLS SOFTLY.
 
 INDY swallows hard and gives the whip a try. It unravels awkwardly, its TIP
 flying back and HITTING INDY IN THE FACE... CUTTING his chin.
 
 The Lion GROWLS LOUDER. Indy quickly gathers up the whip, wets his lips, and
 tries again. This time-success! The WHIP CRACKS SHARPLY. The Lion
 BELLOWS and SWATS the air... and steps back.
 
 INDY looks amazed and delighted. He CRACKS the whip again. The Lion backs
 away even more. Indy inches forward-bends down (never taking his eyes off
 the Lion)-picks up the Cross-and steps back again, sweat pouring down his
 face.
 
 But now... how to get out?
 
 He looks up at the opening through which he fell and sees FEDORA LOOKING
 DOWN AT HIM. Fedora extends his hand.
 
 FEDORA
 Toss up the whip.
 
 EXT. THE ROOFTOP OF STOCKCAR
 
 FEDORA, assisted by HALFBREED and ROUGH RIDER, \"reels\" INDY out of the
 Stockcar as the Lion ROARS and lunges and Indy screams.
 
 The men, including ROSCOE, pull INDY through the hole in the roof. He stands to
 face them as ROUGH RIDER points a gun in his direction.
 
 FEDORA
 You\'ve got heart, kid.
 (indicates Cross)
 But that belongs to me.
 
 INDY
 (takes Cross from his belt)
 It belongs to Coronado.
 
 FEDORA
 (overlapping)
 Coronado is dead. And so are all
 his grandchildren.
 
 INDY
 This should be in a museum.
 
 ROSCOE
 Now give me thatl
 
 ROSCOE makes a grab for the Cross-but INDY doesn\'t let go. A tug-of-war
 ensues until a SNAKE WIGGLES OUT FROM INDY\'S SHIRTSLEEVE and WRAPS
 AROUND Roscoe\'s hand.
 
 ROSCOE SCREAMS BLOODY MURDER-releases his grip on the Cross and tries
 to shake off the snake. This is all the opportunity Indy needs. He LEAPS ONTO
 THE NEXT CAR.
 
 FEDORA
 Don\'t let him get awayl
 
 INDY swings down to the caboose. He sees a sign above the caboose door reading
 \"DR. FANTASY\'S MAGIC CABOOSE.\"
 
 INDY
 Magic?
 
 He glances back at the men and quickly opens the door to the caboose, stepping
 inside.
 
 FEDORA puts out his arm, gesturing for the others not to follow INDY.
 
 FEDORA
 Hold it. Make sure he doesn\'t
 double back.
 
 INT. THE CABOOSE - DAY
 
 which contains the circus MAGIC EQUIPMENT. INDY rushes to the rear door of
 the caboose but can\'t open it. He hears FEDORA coming, and dives into a MAGIC
 BOX.
 
 FEDORA
 Okay, kid. out of the box.
 Now.
 
 FEDORA smiles confidently and advances toward the box. The box unexpectedly
 collapses; all four sides flop away... revealing NOTHING. INDY has completely
 vanished.
 
 FEDORA is mystified, frustrated and angered. Then he feels a breeze at his back.
 He turns and discovers that the caboose door is open. He rushes out onto the
 balcony and sees:
 
 INDY RUNNING along the tracks, turning up a street of modest clapboard houses.
 
 
 FEDORA
 Damn.
 
 
 EXT. STREET - SMALL TOWN - DAY
 
 as INDY runs from the railroad tracks and approaches his house we see the name
 \"JONES\" painted on the mailbox.
 
 INDY
 Dad!
 
 INT. THE HOUSE - DAY
 
 INDY bursts through the front door holding the Cross in his hand. A Husky
 BARKS as Indy runs past in search of his father.
 
 INDY
 Dad!
 
 INDY
 Dad!
 
 INT. THE STUDY - DAY
 
 INDY charges in. The study is cluttered with books. Pictures, charts and maps
 clearly reflect the father\'s passion for Medieval studies.
 
 PROFESSOR HENRY JONES is absorbed at his desk. In fact, he is studying a very
 ancient parchment volume which lies open on the desk. The page shows a
 beautifully illuminated picture of what might be a stained-glass window. The
 sketch incorporates a series of Roman numerals. The Professor is not just
 studying it, he is copying it into his own notebook.
 
 
 CONTINUED:
 
 We never get to see the PROFESSOR\'s face in this scene.
 So INDY CHARGES IN.
 
 INDY
 Dad!
 
 HENRY
 Out!
 
 INDY
 It\'s important!
 
 HENRY
 Then wait-count to twenty.
 
 INDY
 No, Dad. You listen to me-
 
 HENRY
 (now he shouts)
 Junior!
 
 No question who is the boss here. INDY gulps, his look says \"What am I going to
 do with this guy?\" And obeys-
 starts counting, VERY, VERY FAINTLY.
 
 INDY
 One, two, three, four...
 
 Now we see what HENRY is concentrating on. We see his hand
 sketching; then, he holds up one finger.
 
 HENRY
 In Greek.
 
 INDY\'s reaction:
 
 INDY
 (louder, in Greek)
 One... two... three... four...
 
 An ancient car is heard arriving. Perhaps INDY glimpses it going past the
 window. Anyway, it stops outside the house. Two men sit in the front seat.
 HERMAN sits in the rear, BLOWING A TRUMPET.
 
 INDY\'s reaction: Trouble!
 
 HENRY is just finishing the sketch.
 
 HENRY
 May he who illuminated this...
 illuminate me...
 
 INT. THE FRONT ROOM - DAY
 
 The study door is just closing, INDY closing it behind him... just as HERMAN
 comes through the front door, still playing the trumpet.
 
 INDY reaches for the trumpet, pulling it from HERMAN\'s mouth. Herman
 continues to spit-right into Indy\'s face. Indy flinches.
 
 HERMAN
 I brought the Sheriff.
 
 HERMAN means the SHERIFF, who now enters the house.
 
 
 INDY
 Just the man I want to see! Now,
 there were five or six of them.
 
 
 SHERIFF
 (interrupting)
 All right, son.
 
 INDY
 (overlapping)
 ... they came after... me...
 
 
 SHERIFF
 You still got it?
 
 INDY
 Well, yes, sir. It\'s right here!
 
 INDY shows the CROSS, more or less handing it to the SHERIFF to make his
 point. The Sheriff takes it casually.
 
 SHERIFF
 I\'m glad to see that... because
 the rightful owner of this Cross
 won\'t press charges, if you give
 it back.
 
 FEDORA enters the house, followed by ROSCOE, ROUGH RIDER and HALFBREED.
 He politely removes his hat and holds it in his hand. He nods at INDY in a
 friendly manner.
 
 SHERIFF
 He\'s got witnesses, five or six
 of them.
 
 The SHERIFF and FEDORA are in Cahoots
 
 The SHERIFF hands the Cross to FEDORA. ROSCOE reaches in and takes it from
 Fedora, then runs out the door.
 
 ROSCOE
 Yahoo!
 
 CONTINUED:
 
 As ROSCOE runs outside INDY sees-through the screen door-the MAN IN
 THE PANAMA HAT waiting patiently beside the car that is parked out front.
 Roscoe approaches and gives the Man the Cross-the Man hands Roscoe some
 money in exchange.
 
 The SHERIFF tips his hat and leaves.
 
 SHERIFF
 Good day.
 
 FEDORA remains behind for a moment. He turns and speaks to INDY in an ironic
 man-to-man way.
 
 FEDORA
 You lost today, kid, but that
 doesn\'t mean you have to like it.
 
 Then, FEDORA takes off his hat and takes a step towards INDY. He holds the hat
 by the crown, and puts it on Indy\'s head, a show of respect and admiration for
 the boy. The hat blocks Indy\'s face.
 
 CLOSE ON THE TOP OF THE FEDORA HAT
 
 The hat brim fills the screen. As the brim tilts up, WE SEE the face of FULL
 GROWN INDIANA JONES.
 
 And... POW!... he\'s punched in the face while his arms are pinned behind his
 back.
 
 FADE IN TITLE: \"PORTUGUESE COAST-1938\"
 
 PANAMA HAT
 Small world, Doctor Jones.
 
 INDY
 Too small for two of us.
 
 THE MAN IN THE PANAMA HAT (years older now) removes the CROSS OF
 CORONADO from Indy\'s belt.
 
 PANAMA HAT
 This is the second time I\'ve had
 to reclaim my property from you-
 
 INDY
 That belongs in a museum-
 
 PANAMA HAT
 So do you.
 (he moves his eyeline)
 Throw him over the side.
 
 THE DECK OF A PORTUGUESE CARGO SHIP
 
 It\'s NIGHT. RAIN POURS down. We\'re in the middle of a violent STORM AT SEA.
 Thirty-foot waves crash across the deck.
 
 The TWO PORTUGUESE SAILORS (who have Indy\'s arms pinned behind his back)
 propel INDY across the deck toward the rail.
 
 As they pass a BUNDLE OF FUEL DRUMS, INDY uses the Two Sailors as leverage
 to KICK UP HIS FEET and break open the CLAMP on the metal bands that hold
 the drums together.
 
 INDY jabs his elbows into the stomachs of the startled Sailors and rushes toward
 the MAN IN THE PANAMA HAT.
 
 PANAMA HAT sees INDY coming and hurries toward the ladder that leads up to
 the bridge. Indy withstands the force of waves crashing on the deck and makes
 his way to where Panama Hat is climbing the ladder. He pulls him off the ladder
 from behind the two men fall down on the deck. Indy takes the cross back from
 Panama Hat.
 
 A sailor delivers a powerful blow to Indy\'s face, sending the cross flying out of
 his grip and skittering across the deck. Indy grabs a crowbar and fends off two
 sailors who attack him from the sides.
 
 INDY sees that the Cross is about to be swept overboard. He lunges for it.
 
 He SNATCHES UP the Cross only to be knocked down to the deck by a giant wave.
 He struggles to his feet, managing to avoid the giant fuel drums sliding across the
 deck around him.
 
 SEVERAL MORE DRUMS come INDY\'s way. He sidesteps them all.
 
 PANAMA HAT
 Grab him, he\'s getting away!
 Grab him!
 
 Indy turns around and pummels two sailors with one punch. Indy sees a large
 Stevedore\'s hook above him and he climbs up on crates to reach it. He grabs a
 hold of the hook and uses it to swing all the way across the deck, narrowly
 avoiding a huge wave behind him. He jumps into the rollicking ocean, still
 holding onto the cross. On the ship, a giant fuel drum rolls wildly, falling directly
 onto a crate of TNT. The crate explodes, causing the entire ship to blow, sending
 an enormous orange fireball into the sky.
 
 LONG SHOT - THE BOAT EXPLODING OUT OF THE WATER
 
 as bits of debris fall from the sky like rain.
 
 INDY BOBS UP
 
 in the water amid the debris, holding the Cross in his hand. He grabs for
 something to keep him afloat. It turns out to be one of the ship\'s LIFE
 PRESERVERS. INDY loops his arm through the preserver.
 
 
 CONTINUED:
 
 Only now do we see the FADED LETTERING on the preserver revealing the
 destroyed ship\'s name and city of port:
 
 VAZQUEZ de CORONADO
 BARCELONA
 
 A SHREDDED PANAMA HAT floats past.
 
 EXT. COLLEGE - DAY
 Students walk along brick, tree-lined paths.
 
 INDY (V.O .)
 Archaeology is...
 
 
 INT. COLLEGE LECTURE HALL - DAY
 
 DISSOLVE TO:
 
 INDY, dressed in professorial tweeds, stands before his class. He turns to the
 blackboard with a piece of chalk and writes the word: \"FACT.\"
 
 INDY
 ... the search for fact. Not truth.
 If it\'s truth you\'re interested
 in, Doctor Tyree\'s Philosophy
 class is right down the hall.
 
 Laughter.
 
 INT. CORRIDOR - DAY
 
 INDY
 So forget any ideas you\'ve got
 about lost cities, exotic travel,
 and digging up the world. Eve
 do not follow maps to buried
 treasure and \"X\" never, ever,
 marks the spot.
 
 
 MARCUS BRODY approaches Indy\'s classroom. He peers through the window in
 the door to see INDY completing his lecture.
 
 INDY
 Seventy percent of all archaeology
 is done in the library. Research.
 Reading.
 
 
 INT. LECTURE HALL - DAY
 
 BRODY enters the lecture hall and stands at the rear of the room.
 
 
 CONTINUED:
 
 INDY
 We cannot afford to take mythology
 at face value.
 
 The BELL RINGS. INDY stands at his desk as students begin to disperse. A
 pretty coed puts a note on the desk.
 
 INDY
 Next week: \"Egyptology.\" Starting
 with the excavation of Naukratis
 by Blinders Petrie in 1885. I will
 be in my office if anybody\'s got
 any problems for the next hour
 and a half.
 
 BRODY approaches as the last of the students leaves the lecture hall.
 
 INDY
 Marcus!
 (slaps his pocket)
 I did it!
 
 BRODY
 You\'ve got itl
 
 INDY removes the cloth-wrapped Cross from his desk. He places it on the desk
 and takes off his glasses as BRODY examines the Cross.
 
 INDY
 You know how long I\'ve been
 looking for that?!
 
 BRODY
 All your life.
 
 INDY
 All my life!
 
 
 BRODY
 Well done, Indy. Very well done,
 indeed This will find a place
 of honor in our Spanish collection.
 
 INDY gathers up his books and makes his way toward the door.
 
 INDY
 We can discuss my honorarium over
 dinner and champagne tonight.
 
 He turns back toward BRODY, now holding the Cross.
 
 INDY
 Your treat.
 
 BRODY
 Yes. My treat.
 
 INT. INDY\'S OUTER OFFICE - DAY
 
 Bursting with STUDENTS, all competing for his attention at once: \"Professor
 Jones! \" \"Doctor Jonesl \" etc., etc.
 
 INDY
 Shush! Shush! Shushl
 
 INDY shoulders his way to the desk of his secretary, an overwhelmed Teaching
 Assistant named IRENE.
 
 IRENE
 Doctor Jones! I\'m so glad you\'re
 back! Your mail is on your desk.
 Here are your phone messages.
 
 MALE STUDENT
 Doctor Jones, you promised...
 Doctor Jones-
 
 IRENE
 This is your appointment schedule.
 And these term papers still haven\'t
 been graded.
 
 INDY takes the term papers then turns to enter his PRIVATE OFFICE. Students
 once again CLAMOR for his attention: \"Doctor Jones!\" \"Wait, Doctor Jonesl\"
 \"My grade!\" \"Sign my registration card!\"
 
 INDY silences the mob with a raised hand.
 
 INDY
 (very efficiently)
 Okay. Irene, put everyone\'s name
 on a list, in the order they
 arrived, and I\'ll see each and
 every one of them in turn.
 
 The Students descend upon poor IRENE, each claiming to be first. INDY slips into
 his -
 
 PRIVATE OFFICE
 
 where he goes to his desk and finds a thick envelope with a foreign postmark on it.
 
 INDY
 (softly; reading)
 \"Venice, Italy.\"
 
 Then, INDY stuffs his mail into his coat pockets, goes to the WINDOW, slides it
 open and STEPS OUT INTO THE GARDEN.
 
 
 EXT. SIDE OF COLLEGE BUILDING - DAY
 
 INDY escapes through the garden.
 
 EXT. FRONT OF COLLEGE BUILDING - DAY
 
 INDY walks briskly toward the street; smiling, erUoying his freedom. As he
 arrives at the curb, a LONG BLACK PACKARD SEDAN pulls up before him.
 
 
 MAN (O.S.)
 Doctor Jonesl
 
 THREE MEN step out of the sedan. Everything about them bespeaks \"G-MAN.\"
 The First Man steps behind Indy.
 
 MAN
 Doctor Jones?
 
 INT. PENTHOUSE APARTMENT - DAY
 
 INDY is ushered into a large Art Deco apartment and left alone. Numerous
 museum-quality artifacts are displayed around the room. Indy takes this
 opportunity to examine them.
 
 After a moment, WALTER DONOVAN enters from across the room. During the
 brief time that the door is open, we HEAR a COCKTAIL PARTY going on in the
 next room: VOICES and SOFT PIANO MUSIC.
 
 DONOVAN strides across the room toward INDY. Although in his late fifties,
 Donovan has the broad shoulders and trim physique of a much younger man.
 Dressed in a tuxedo, he exudes both confidence and power.
 
 DONOVAN
 I trust your trip down was
 comfortable, Doctor Jones. My
 men didn\'t alarm you, I hope.
 
 He shakes hands with INDY.
 
 DONOVAN
 My name is Donovan. Walter Donovan.
 
 INDY
 I know who you are Mr. Donovan.
 Your contributions to the museum
 over the years have been extremely
 generous. Some of the pieces in
 your collection here are very
 impressive.
 
 DONOVAN
 Well, like yourself, Doctor Jones,
 I have a passion for antiquities.
 (beat)
 Have a look over here. This might
 interest you.
 
 
 CONTINUED:
 
 DONOVAN goes to a table where an object is wrapped in cloth. He throws back
 the cloth revealing a flat STONE TABLET-about two feet square, inscribed with
 letters and symbols.
 
 INDY looks impressed. He puts on his glasses to make a closer examination.
 
 INDY
 Well, it\'s sandstone. Christian
 symbol. Early Latin text. Mid-
 Twelfth Century, I should think.
 
 DONOVAN
 That was our assessment as well.
 
 INDY
 Where did this come from?
 
 DONOVAN
 My engineers unearthed it in the
 mountain region north of Ankara
 while excavating for copper.
 (beat)
 Can you translate the inscription?
 
 Translating the inscription is no easy matter, even for someone as knowledgeable
 as INDY.
 
 INDY
 (stumbling through it)
 \"... who drinks the water I shall
 give him, says the Lord, will have
 a spring inside him welling up
 for eternal life. Let them bring
 me to your holy mountain in the
 place where you dwell.
 
 Donovan pours champagne into several fluted glasses as Indy reads.
 
 INDY
 Across the desert and through
 the mountain to the Canyon of
 the Crescent Moon, to the Temple
 where the cup that-\"
 
 Suddenly INDY stops and looks up at DONOVAN with a startled expression.
 
 INDY
 \"Where the cup that holds the
 blood of Jesus Christ resides
 forever. \"
 
 (CONT\'D)
 
 
 CONTINUED: (2)
 
 DONOVAN
 (reverently)
 The Holy Grail, Doctor Jones.
 The chalice used by Christ during
 the Last Supper. The cup that
 caught His blood at the Crucifixion
 and was entrusted to Joseph of
 Arimathaea.
 
 INDY rubs his chin with a dubious expression as he takes the glass of champagne
 DONOVAN now offers him.
 
 INDY
 The Arthur Legend. I\'ve heard
 this bedtime story before.
 
 DONOVAN
 Eternal life, Doctor Jones! The
 gift of youth to whoever drinks
 from the Grail.
 (beat)
 Oh, now that\'s a bedtime story I\'d
 like to wake up to!
 
 INDY
 An old man\'s dream.
 
 DONOVAN
 Every man\'s dream.
 (beat)
 Including your father\'s, I believe.
 
 INDY stiffens slightly at the mention of his father, nods.
 
 INDY
 Grail lore is his hobby.
 He\'s a teacher of Medieval
 Literature. The one the students
 hope they don\'t get.
 
 The door opens and MRS. DONOVAN steps into the room. She\'s a matronly
 woman in an expensive evening gown.
 
 MRS. DONOVAN
 Walter, you\'re neglecting our
 guests.
 
 DONOVAN
 Be along in a moment, dear.
 
 He leans over and kisses her cheek. MRS. DONOVAN sighs to herself and returns
 to the party. INDY, meanwhile, has turned his attention back to the Grail Tablet,
 obviously hooked by its archaeological promise. He moistens his finger with
 champagne and rubs it over the tablet. DONOVAN steps up next to Indy.
 
 
 CONTINUED: (3)
 
 DONOVAN
 Hard to resist, isn\'t it? The
 Holy Grail\'s final resting place
 described in detail!
 
 INDY
 What good is it? This Grail
 Tablet speaks of deserts and
 mountains and canyons. Pretty
 vague. Where do you start
 looking? Maybe if the Tablet were
 intact, you\'d have something to
 go on. But the entire top
 portion is missing.
 
 DONOVAN
 Just the same, an attempt to
 recover the Grail is currently
 underway.
 
 INDY has to shake his head at DONOVAN\'s apparent lack of judgment.
 
 DONOVAN
 Let me tell you another \"bedtime
 story, \" Doctor Jones.
 After the Grail was entrusted
 to Joseph of Arimathaea, it
 disappeared and was lost for a
 thousand years before it was found
 again by three Knights of the
 First Crusade. Three brothers,
 to be exact.
 
 INDY
 I\'ve heard this one as well.
 Two of these brothers walked out
 of the desert one hundred and
 fifty years after having found
 the Grail and began the long
 journey back to France. But
 only one of them made it. And
 before dying of extreme old
 age, he supposedly imparted
 his tale to a-to a Franciscan
 friar, I think.
 
 DONOVAN
 Not \"supposedly,\" Doctor Jones.
 
 DONOVAN produces an ANCIENT LEATHER-BOUND VOLUME with very brittle
 pages. INDY views the manuscript with considerable interest.
 
 
 CONTINUED: (4)
 
 DONOVAN
 This is the manuscript in which
 the friar chronicled the Knight\'s
 story... it doesn\'t reveal on
 location of the Grail, I\'m afraid...
 but the Knight promised that two
 \"markers\" that had been left
 behind would.
 (indicates the Tablet)
 This Tablet is one of those
 \"markers.\" It proves the Knight\'s
 story is true. But as you pointed
 out-it\'s incomplete.
 (beat)
 Now, the second \"marker\" is
 entombed with the Knight\'s dead
 brother. Our project leader
 believes that tomb to be located
 within the city of Venice, Italy.
 (beat)
 As you can now see, Doctor Jones,
 we\'re about to complete a great
 quest that began almost two
 thousand years ago. We\'re only
 one step away.
 
 INDY
 That\'s usually when the ground
 falls out from underneath your
 feet.
 
 DONOVAN
 You could be more right than you
 know.
 
 INDY
 Yes?
 
 DONOVAN
 We\'ve hit a snag. our project
 leader has vanished. Along with
 all his research. Uh, we received
 a cable from his colleague, Doctor
 Schneider, who has no idea of his
 whereabouts or what\'s become of
 him.
 (beat)
 I want you to pick up the trail
 where he left off. Find the man
 and you will find the Grail.
 
 
 CONTINUED: (5)
 
 INDY
 You\'ve got the wrong Jones, Mister
 Donovan. Why don\'t you try my
 father?
 
 DONOVAN
 (after a pause)
 We already have. Your father is
 the man who\'s disappeared.
 
 
 EXT. A RESIDENTIAL STREET - DAY
 
 A FORD COUPE speeds down the tree-lined street.
 
 EXT. PROFESSOR HENRY JONES\' HOUSE - DAY
 
 The Ford coupe pulls up in front of the house. INDY climbs from the car and
 hurries up the walkway. BRODY is a step behind.
 
 BRODY
 Your father and I have been
 friends since time began. I\'ve
 watched you grow up, Indy. And
 I\'ve watched the two of you grow
 apart.
 (beat)
 I\'ve never seen you this concerned
 about him before.
 
 They climb the porch and notice that the front door is ajar. They exchange a
 quick look of concern as they enter.
 
 INT. THE HOUSE - LATE AFTERNOON
 
 INDY approaches the half-open front door.
 
 
 INDY
 Dad?
 (to BRODY)
 He\'s an academic A bookworm.
 He\'s not a field mans
 
 He pushes open the door. He enters the house and calls out.
 
 INDY
 Dad? Dad?
 
 INDY opens one half of the curtains dividing the hall from the sitting room.
 
 We see the place has been ransacked.
 
 
 CONTINUED:
 
 BRODY sees INDY\'s face and opens the other half.
 
 BRODY
 Dear God.
 
 They walk into the room.
 
 
 BRODY
 What has the old fool got
 himself into now?
 
 INDY
 I don\'t know. But whatever it
 is, he\'s in over his head!
 
 BRODY picks up some mail from Henry\'s cluttered desk.
 
 INDY
 Dad?
 
 BRODY
 It\'s today\'s mail. And it\'s been
 opened.
 
 INDY turns and sees the pile of torn papers and envelopes. Then something hits
 him.
 
 INDY
 Mail! That\'s it, Marcus!
 
 He immediately empties his pockets of his own mail taken earlier in the day from
 his college office and finds the envelope with the Venice postmark.
 
 INDY
 (as he tears it open)
 Venice, Italy!
 
 BRODY
 What is it?
 
 
 INDY uncovers a small book. It looks like a JOURNAL or
 DIARY. Indy flips through it: Page after page of
 handwritten notes and drawings. BRODY glances at it with
 great curiosity.
 
 INDY
 It\'s Dad\'s Grail Diary. Every
 clue he ever followed. Every
 discovery he made. A complete
 record of his search for the Holy
 Grail. This is his whole life.
 Why would he have sent this to me?
 
 
 CONTINUED: (2)
 
 BRODY
 I don\'t know. But someone must
 want it pretty badly.
 
 INDY
 Do you believe, Marcus?
 
 As INDY asks the question, he turns to a PAINTING on the wall: A depiction of
 Christ on the Cross, his blood being captured in a golden chalice.
 
 A SECOND PAINTING on the wall shows Eleventh Century Crusaders plummeting
 to their deaths over a high cliff. One Crusader, however, floats safely in midair
 because he holds the Grail in his hands.
 
 INDY
 Do you believe the Grail actually
 exists?
 
 BRODY
 The search for the Cup of Christ
 is the search for the divine in all
 of us.
 
 BRODY sees that INDY is unsatisfied by this response.
 
 BRODY
 But if you want facts, Indy, I
 have none to give you. At my age,
 I\'m prepared to take a few things
 on faith.
 
 INDY
 Call Donovan, Marcus. Tell him
 I\'ll take that ticket to Venice
 now.
 
 BRODY
 I\'ll tell him we\'ll take two.
 
 
 EXT. AIRFIELD - DAY
 
 A LIMO is parked beside a PRIVATE AIRLINER that bears the DONOVAN
 CORPORATE LOGO. BRODY peers inside to DONOVAN and INDY.
 
 BRODY
 Tell me, what\'s going to happen
 when we get to Venice?
 
 DONOVAN
 (overlapping)
 Don\'t worry. Doctor Schneider will
 be there to meet you.
 
 CONTINUED:
 
 BRODY
 (overlapping)
 Schneider?
 
 DONOVAN
 (overlapping)
 I maintain an apartment in Venice,
 at your disposal.
 
 BRODY
 Oh, well. That\'s good. Thank
 you.
 
 BRODY and DONOVAN shake hands. INDY steps from the back seat of the limo.
 He turns back to Donovan and shakes his hand.
 
 DONOVAN
 Doctor Jones. Good luck. Be
 very careful. Don\'t trust anvbody.
 
 
 INT. AIRLINER - FLYING - DAY
 
 INDY opens the Grail Diary and thoughtfully turns through the pages. He stops
 at one page and glances at a PENCIL SKETCH of what might be a stained-glass
 window. Below the sketch is a SERIES OF NUMBERS.
 
 
 EXT. THE PRIVATE AIRLINER - FLYING - DAY
 
 SUPERIMPOSED over a MAP that traces a course from New York City to Venice,
 Italy.
 
 DISSOLVE TO:
 
 
 EXT. VENICE - BOAT LANDING - DAY
 
 INDY and BRODY disembark from the Water Bus onto the Boat Landing as other
 Gondoliers steer their boats in the water.
 
 INDY
 Ah, Venice...
 
 BRODY
 Yes. Uh, how will we recognize
 this Doctor Schneider when we
 see him?
 
 INDY
 I don\'t know. Maybe he\'ll know
 us.
 
 
 CONTINUED:
 
 Suddenly a WOMAN comes up to him. Attractive features. Blonde hair. Eyes
 that are bright and intelligent.
 
 ELSA
 Doctor Jones?
 
 INDY
 Yes?
 
 ELSA
 I knew it was you-
 
 She looks at him with an appraising expression that is brazenly flirtatious.
 
 ELSA
 -you have your father\'s eyes.
 
 INDY is instantly attracted to her.
 
 INDY
 And my mother\'s ears. But the
 rest belongs to you.
 
 ELSA
 Looks like the best parts have
 already been spoken for.
 
 INDY grins, enjoying the repartee. The WOMAN turns to BRODY, who tips his hat.
 
 ELSA
 Marcus Brody?
 
 BRODY
 That\'s right.
 
 The Woman, DR. ELSA SCHNEIDER, extends her hand to BRODY.
 
 ELSA
 (introducing herself)
 Doctor Elsa Schneider.
 
 INDY\'s grin fades. BRODY registers a look of surprise.
 
 BRODY
 Uh... how do you do?
 
 CUT TO:
 
 
 EXT. VENICE CANAL - DAY
 
 INDY, BRODY and ELSA walk along the narrow canal, lined with buildings on
 either side.
 
 
 CONTINUED:
 
 ELSA
 The last time I saw your father
 we were in the library. He was
 very close to tracking down the
 Knight\'s Tomb. I\'ve never seen
 him so excited. He was as giddy
 as a schoolboy.
 
 INDY
 Who? Attila the Professor? He
 was never giddy, even when he was
 a schoolboy!
 
 INDY can\'t take his eyes off ELSA. Perhaps he\'s feeling a bit like a schoolboy
 himself right now. As they cross over a bridge to the opposite side of the canal,
 Indy steals a flower from a street vendor. He holds it out to Elsa.
 
 INDY
 Fraulein-will you permit me?
 
 ELSA
 I usually don\'t.
 
 INDY
 I usually don\'t either.
 
 ELSA
 In that case, I permit you.
 
 INDY gives her the flower.
 
 INDY
 It would make me very happy.
 
 ELSA
 But I\'m already sad-by tomorrow
 it will have faded.
 
 INDY
 Tomorrow I\'ll steal you another.
 
 BRODY
 (cutting in)
 I hate to interrupt you-but the
 reason we\'re here-
 
 ELSA
 (interrupting)
 Yes. I have something to show
 you.
 
 She hands a slip of paper to INDY.
 
 
 CONTINUED: (2)
 
 ELSA
 I left your father working in
 the library. He sent me to the
 map section to fetch an ancient
 plan of the city. When I got back
 to his table-he\'d gone-with
 all his papers-except for that
 scrap which I found near his chair.
 
 INDY extends the scrap of paper to BRODY.
 
 INDY
 Roman numerals.
 
 
 EXT. VENICE PIAZZA - DAY
 
 ELSA leads INDY and BRODY into the large piazza. People walk about and sit at
 tables in front of a large building.
 
 ELSA
 Here is the library.
 
 They have arrived at the front steps of the library.
 
 INDY
 That doesn\'t look much like a
 library.
 
 BRODY
 It looks like a converted church.
 
 ELSA leads the way inside.
 
 
 INT. THE LIBRARY - DAY
 
 INDY, BRODY and ELSA enter, their heels CLICKING across the marble floor.
 
 We notice, along with INDY and BRODY, that the library contains many stained-
 glass windows.
 
 ELSA
 In this case it\'s the literal
 truth. We\'re on holy ground.
 These columns over here...
 
 She indicates FOUR HUGE MARBLE COLUMNS that go from floor to ceiling.
 
 ELSA
 ... were brought back as spoils
 of war after the sacking of
 Byzantium during the Crusades.
 
 
 CONTINUED:
 
 INDY glances at the Columns, then notices a Stained-Glass Window that depicts a
 Knight of the Crusades. Indy lingers for a moment in front of the window.
 
 ELSA
 Now please excuse me. The library\'s
 closing in a few moments. I\'ll
 arrange for us to stay a little
 longer.
 
 The minute ELSA is out of earshot.
 
 INDY
 Marcus-I\'ve seen this window
 before.
 
 BRODY
 Where?
 
 INDY whips out the Grail Diary and opens it to the sketch he noticed in the
 airplane.
 
 INDY
 Right here. In Dad\'s Diary.
 You see?
 
 BRODY glances at the Diary, then at the window-noticing that the Roman
 numerals in question have been worked into the window\'s design.
 
 BRODY
 Look, Indy. The Roman numerals!
 
 INDY
 Dad was onto something here!
 
 BRODY
 Well, now we know the source of
 the numbers, but we still don\'t
 know what they mean.
 
 INDY and BRODY now see ELSA approaching. Indy quickly tucks the Diary back
 into his pocket.
 
 INDY
 (explaining to Brody)
 My dad sent me this Diary for a
 reason. Until we find out why,
 I suggest we keep it to ourselves.
 
 ELSA
 Find something?
 
 INDY doesn\'t reply. He\'s looking in five directions at once. His eyes moving
 across the walls and ceilings-charged with the thrill of discovery.
 
 
 CONTINUED: (2)
 
 BRODY
 (to ELSA)
 Uh, yes. Three, seven and tent
 That window seems to be the source
 of the Roman numerals.
 
 ELSA
 My God, I must be blind
 
 INDY
 Dad wasn\'t looking for a book
 about the Knight\'s Tomb... he was
 looking for the Tomb itself
 
 ELSA wears a blank expression.
 
 INDY
 Don\'t you get it? The Tomb is
 somewhere in the library! You
 said yourself it used to be a
 church! Look.
 
 INDY\'s eyes travel up one of the four huge marble columns.
 
 INDY
 Three.
 
 INDY looks again to the stained-glass window. He points.
 
 INDY
 Three!
 
 INDY has discovered that each Column is numbered with a Roman Numeral. Indy
 hurries away toward Column VII. All BRODY and ELSA can do now is try to keep
 up with him.
 
 INDY
 Seven.
 
 He points again to the stained-glass window.
 
 INDY
 Seven... Ten.
 
 He looks down to the scrap of paper in his hands.
 
 INDY
 And ten. Now where\'s the ten?
 Look around for the ten.
 
 INDY walks past aisles of book-lined shelves. He stops, turns, then looks down.
 
 
 CONTINUED: (3)
 
 INDY
 Three, seven and ten.
 
 He climbs a spiral staircase leading up to a LOFT and looks down at BRODY and
 ELSA. The floor beneath their feet is an elaborate tile design containing a huge
 \"X\"-visible only from this higher angle.
 
 INDY
 Ten.
 (wryly; to himself)
 \"X\" marks the spot.
 
 INDY rushes down the staircase and goes to the CENTER TILE where the two
 sides of the X intersect. He blows dust away from the tile and tries to pry it up,
 but cannot.
 
 INDY rushes past BRODY to a cordon held in place by a brass stand underneath
 the stained-glass window.
 INDY raises the brass stand and timing his actions, hits the tile precisely as the
 Librarian stamps a book. The Librarian regards the stamper curiously.
 
 INDY continues to pound at the tile as the Librarian resumes his stamping, still
 puzzled by the SOUND ECHOING through the library.
 
 Finally INDY breaks the tile. As he bends to remove the pieces of broken tile, a
 TWO-FOOT SQUARE HOLE IS REVEALED.
 
 Cold air and a wet, rancid smell escape from the hole.
 
 INDY
 Bingo.
 
 ELSA
 You don\'t disappoint, Doctor Jones.
 You\'re a great deal like your
 father.
 
 INDY
 Except he\'s lost, and I\'m not.
 
 ELSA
 Lower me down.
 
 INDY is impressed with Elsa\'s spirit, and cooperates agreeably-holding her by
 the hands and lowering her into the hole. When her feet finally touch ground
 below, Indy releases his grip on her and slips the Grail Diary to BRODY.
 
 INDY
 Look after this for me, will you?
 
 Then INDY disappears into the hole.
 
 INT. CATACOMBS BELOW LIBRARY - DAY
 
 INDY jumps down a steep step. He reaches back to help ELSA.
 
 INDY
 Come on.
 
 INDY and ELSA glance around. This is really a horrid place. Dark and dank.
 foul smelling. Elsa turns. She removes a cigarette lighter with a unique ivory
 four-leaf clover design.
 
 INDY and ELSA inspect markings carved onto the walls.
 
 ELSA
 Pagan symbols. Fourth or Fifth
 Century.
 
 INDY
 Right. Six hundred years before
 the Crusades.
 
 ELSA
 The Christians would have dug
 their own passages and burial
 chambers centuries later.
 
 INDY takes the lighter from her and lights their way down a dark passageway.
 
 INDY
 That\'s right. If there\'s a
 Knight of the First Crusade
 entombed down here, that\'s where
 we\'ll find him.
 
 
 INT. LIBRARY - DAY
 
 THREE MEN carrying guns make their way down the spiral staircase toward an
 unsuspecting BRODY. One of the Men, KAZIM, raises his gun and brings it down
 hard on Brody\'s head.
 
 BRODY
 Ohhhh. . .
 
 KAZIM gestures with his gun toward the now-unconscious BRODY. The other two
 men take Brody\'s hands and drag him into one of the book-lined aisles.
 
 INT. ANOTHER PART OF THE CATACOMBS - DAY
 
 DECOMPOSING CORPSES rest in niches carved into the stone walls. Grotesque
 skeletal remains with rotting linen stretched across blackened bones.
 
 INDY holds the lighter up as he and ELSA inspect symbols carved into the walls.
 
 
 CONTINUED:
 
 ELSA spots a symbol cut into the wall that she doesn\'t recognize. As she blows
 away some cobwebs:
 
 ELSA
 What\'s this one?
 
 INDY only has to give it a quick glance to know.
 
 INDY
 The Ark of the Covenant.
 
 ELSA
 Are you sure?
 
 INDY
 (deadpan)
 Pretty sure.
 
 INDY holds the lighter up and he and ELSA enter another dark passageway.
 
 ANOTHER PART OF THE CATACOMBS
 
 INDY steps to the wall and runs his hand over the stone. He scrapes the cobwebs
 away to reveal the ROMAN NUMERAL \"X.\"
 
 INDY
 Watch out.
 
 ELSA now holds the lighter as INDY rams his shoulder into the wall. The wall
 collapses on impact and Indy falls through into another room.
 
 
 ANOTHER ROOM - THE CATACOMBS
 
 as INDY falls through the hole in the wall onto rocks surrounded by bubbling,
 green, slimy liquid. More skeletons surround him, resting in their carved niches.
 ELSA holds the lighter as she peers in at him through the hole in the wall.
 
 INDY
 Petroleum. I could sink a well
 down here and retire.
 
 INDY reaches up and tears a piece of cloth from one of the skeletons, which
 breaks apart and falls into the oil-slick water.
 
 INDY uses the scrap of cloth and a bone to fashion a crude torch, which he then
 dips into the oily water.
 
 INDY
 Give me the lighter.
 
 ANOTHER PART OF THE CATACOMBS
 
 Using the cloth-wrapped bone torch to guide their way, INDY and ELSA come
 upon a NARROW PASSAGEWAY. The water is knee-deep and TEEMING WITH
 RATS. Thousands of them Crawling on one another\'s backs. SQUEALING.
 Squirming. Thrashing in the water.
 
 INDY
 Oh, rats...
 
 ELSA gasps as the rats scamper between her legs.
 
 INDY moves forward through the rat-infested water as ELSA follows, still gasping
 in horror. Suddenly he slips into a hole. Recovering his balance, he reaches out
 to Elsa.
 
 INDY
 Come onl
 
 She gasps once again, terrified. INDY lifts her and carries ELSA as he moves
 forward.
 
 
 THE CATACOMBS - THE HOLE IN THE WALL
 
 KAZIM and his men step to the opening Indy made earlier and shine their
 flashlights through to the rat-infested water.
 
 ANOTHER PART OF THE CATACOMBS
 
 More rat-infested water as ELSA, now walking again, follows INDY through
 another passageway lined with skulls and bones.
 
 INDY reaches for a wall to steady himself and inadvertently grabs a skeleton. A
 bone comes loose in his hand as rats scurry about and leap at him from all
 directions.
 
 He takes a moment to compose himself, then steps across the water to ELSA\'s
 side. He steps into the water, then reaches up to help Elsa do the same.
 
 INDY
 Come here.
 
 LARGE BURIAL CHAMBER
 
 The chamber is flooded with black, briny water.
 
 INDY
 Look. . .
 
 In the center of the chamber, jutting up above the water, is what amounts to an
 \"island altar\" on which SEVERAL ANCIENT COFFINS rest. They move toward the
 altar.
 
 
 CONTINUED:
 
 INDY and ELSA begin to inspect the ornately carved COFFINS like the scholars of
 antiquity that they are. These are big oak caskets held together by straps of
 etched brass.
 
 INDY
 It must be one of these...
 
 ELSA
 Look at the artistry of these
 carvings and the scrollwork.
 
 One coffin is elevated above the others.
 
 ELSA
 It\'s this one.
 
 Together they begin to push on the lid-STRAINING and GROANING until it
 slides away and BANGS against the stone platform.
 
 
 INSIDE THE COFFIN
 
 lie the DECOMPOSED REMAINS of a KNIGHT IN ARMOR. INDY and ELSA look
 in...Elsa gasps.
 
 INDY
 This is itl we found it! Look-
 the engraving on the Shield. It\'s
 the same as on the Grail Tablets
 The Shield is the Second Marker!
 
 INDY unfolds a piece of paper and holds it over the shield.
 
 ELSA
 What\'s that?
 
 INDY
 It\'s a rubbing Dad made of the
 Grail Tablet.
 
 The missing portion of the rubbing is completed by the shield.
 
 ELSA
 Just like your father-giddy
 as a schoolboy.
 
 INDY laughs.
 
 ELSA
 Wouldn\'t it be wonderful if he
 were here now to see this?
 
 INDY
 (chuckles)
 He never would have made it past
 the rats! He hates rats! He\'s
 scared to death of them!
 
 CLOSE - A HAND
 
 as it lights a match.
 
 PULL BACK TO REVEAL KAZIM dropping the lighted match into the oil-slick
 water.
 
 
 INDY AND ELSA
 
 ELSA holds the torch. INDY looks around. Listens. Something is wrong. And
 then he sees the GLOW OF FIRELIGHT dancing across the Catacomb walls.
 
 This is followed by THOUSANDS OF RATS FLEEING from around the corner of the
 Narrow Passageway, STAMPEDING toward ELSA and INDY-SHRIEKING and
 SQUEALING as they approach.
 
 The rats literally wash over them-like a rodent tidal wave-in their efforts to
 escape a:
 
 HUGE ORANGE BALL OF FIRE
 
 ROARING around the corner hurtling towards them-feeding on the oil slick;
 consuming the oxygen.
 
 ELSA SCREAMS.
 
 INDY
 Get back! Back against the wall.
 
 INDY braces his back against the altar and TOPPLES THE COFFIN with his feet.
 It CRASHES against the stone platform and SPLASHES into the water.
 
 INDY
 Quick! Under it!
 
 They jump into the water beside the bobbing, overturned coffin.
 
 INDY
 Air pocket!
 
 ELSA hesitates. INDY literally DUNKS her and pushes her underneath.
 
 
 UNDER THE COFFIN
 
 ELSA surfaces into the air pocket created by the coffin, SPUTTERING and
 SPITTING.
 
 Now INDY pops up into the air pocket. He looks at ELSA-they are both soaking
 wet.
 
 INDY
 Don\'t wander off.
 
 
 CONTINUED:
 
 ELSA
 What?
 
 INDY disappears under the water and swims out from under the coffin.
 
 ELSA
 What?
 
 UNDER THE WATER
 
 INDY swims, looking for an escape route.
 
 UNDER THE COFFIN
 
 The rats are beginning to force their way inside, swimming through the water
 and climbing on ELSA, who squirms and screams in terror.
 
 INDY pops back up through the water.
 
 INDY
 I think I\'ve found a way out.
 Deep breath.
 
 ELSA groans. They take a deep breath and both dive under the water.
 
 
 EXT.

EXT. VENICE PIAZZA - OUTDOOR CAFE - DAY
 
 The perfect picture postcard-St. Mark\'s Square and the Grand Canal beyond.
 Cafe customers are startled to see INDY and ELSA climb out of the sewer, wet
 and smelly. Indy looks around at the postcard-perfect setting and smiles.
 
 INDY
 (wryly)
 Ah, Venicel
 
 Indy\'s delight, however, is short-lived since KAZIM and TWO OTHER TURKISH
 AGENTS are running towards them with drawn guns.
 
 He grabs ELSA by the hand and the two of them run down the dock and LEAP
 INTO A MOTORBOAT.
 
 
 INT. THE MOTORBOAT - DAY
 
 INDY fires up the engine and pulls away from the dock... but not before a
 Turkish Agent JUMPS in with him.
 
 ELSA grabs the wheel and begins to steer the boat while INDY and the Turk trade
 punches.
 
 EXT. THE HARBOR - DAY
 
 Indy\'s Speedboat BOUNCES across the choppy waters heading in the direction of
 the DOCKED STEAMSHIP.
 
 KAZIM and his men rush to TWO MORE SPEEDBOATS tied to the dock.
 
 They chase after INDY.
 
 INDY grapples with the Turkish Agent. As Indy grips his arms, we SEE a GUN in
 the Agent\'s hand. It FIRES.
 
 As INDY fights with the Turk, he becomes aware of the Speedboats behind him
 and two enormous Freighters ahead of him, joined together by two giant ropes.
 
 INDY, having gained the advantage, leans on top of the Turkish Agent.
 
 INDY
 (to ELSA)
 Are you crazy?! You don\'t go
 between them!
 
 ELSA can barely hear INDY over the noise of the motor.
 
 ELSA
 Go between them? Are you crazy?!
 
 INDY finally delivers the punch that sends the Turkish Agent flying overboard.
 Turning, Indy sees that ELSA has committed the speedboat to a course BETWEEN
 the two Freighters, now being pushed even closer together by a Tugboat.
 
 INDY
 I said go around!
 
 ELSA
 You said go between them!
 
 INDY
 I said don\'t go between them!
 
 It\'s purely academic at this point since the hulls of the the two Freighters loom
 up on either side of them like cavern walls.
 
 
 EXT. FULL SHOT - THE HARBOR - DAY
 
 One Enemy Speedboat chases INDY between the two Freighters. But the Speedboat
 containing KAZIM veers off and goes around.
 
 
 EXT. BETWEEN THE TWO FREIGHTERS - DAY
 
 It\'s a race for daylight as the two Freighters drift ever closer to one another.
 
 Indy\'s Speedboat just manages to squeeze through the gap. But the Enemy
 Speedboat EXPLODES as it is crushed between the two Freighters, FLYING INTO
 THE AIR and SPLASHING back down into the water.
 
 INDY AND ELSA
 
 spin their boat around in a sharp half-circle to see KAZIM\'S SPEEDBOAT appear
 racing toward them. He stands in the moving boat, FIRING A MACHINE GUN at
 INDY and ELSA.
 
 
 KAZIM\'S SPEEDBOAT
 
 matches Indy\'s move for move.
 
 FULL SHOT - THE HARBOR
 
 The two boats race across the water nearly side-by-side. A CHATTERING
 MACHINE GUN from Kazim\'s boat SPLINTERS the wood of Indy\'s boat, until
 finally the rear of the boat CATCHES ON FIRE.
 
 The machine gun runs out of ammunition. KAZIM puts it down and takes control
 of the wheel from one of the Turkish Agents in the boat with him.
 
 As Indy\'s boat drifts toward the GIANT, TURNING PROPELLERS at the STERN of
 ANOTHER STEAMER, Kazim\'s boat draws up alongside and hits them. INDY
 steps into Kazim\'s boat. He knocks one of the Turkish Agents to the deck, then
 turns his attention to KAZIM. The two men trade punches as the boat spins
 helplessly in the churning water.
 
 ELSA
 No!!
 
 INDY kicks KAZIM in the face, knocking him into the water, then pulls him back
 into the boat, now being SUCKED THROUGH THE CHURNING WATER toward the
 Steamer\'s giant propeller blades.
 
 INDY
 Why are you trying to kill us?
 
 KAZIM
 Because you\'re looking for the
 Holy Grail.
 
 INDY
 My father was looking for the
 Holy Grail. Did you kill him
 too?
 
 KAZIM
 No.
 
 INDY
 Where is he? Talk-or you\'re
 dead. Damn it, tell me! Tell
 me!
 
 KAZIM
 If you don\'t let go, Doctor Jones,
 we\'ll both die.
 
 
 CONTINUED:
 
 INDY
 Then we\'ll die.
 
 KAZIM
 My soul is prepared. How\'s yours?
 
 By now half the boat has been chopped up into matchwood and the blades are
 getting closer.
 
 INDY
 This is your last chance.
 
 KAZIM
 No, Doctor Jones. It\'s yours!
 
 The wind of the blades is on their necks. INDY grabs KAZIM just in time and
 jumps... into the motorboat, driven by ELSA, which gets alongside in the nick of
 time.
 
 INDY
 All right! Where\'s my father
 
 KAZIM
 If you let me go, I will tell you
 where he is.
 
 INDY
 Who are you?
 
 KAZIM
 My name is Kazim.
 
 INDY
 And why were you trying to kill
 me?
 
 KAZIM
 The secret of the Grail has been
 safe for a thousand years. And
 for all that time the Brotherhood
 of the Cruciform Sword has been
 prepared to do anything to keep
 it safe.
 
 KAZIM pulls back his shirt to reveal a birthmark... or is it a tattoo? Whatever it
 is, it\'s a cruciform sword; a Christian cross which tapers down, like the blades of
 a broadsword.
 
 KAZIM
 Let me get off at this jetty.
 
 The boat is close to the edge of the canal. INDY gives ELSA a nod, telling her to
 bring the boat in. KAZIM steps ashore.
 
 
 CONTINUED: (2)
 
 KAZIM
 Ask yourself, why do you seek
 the Cup of Christ? Is it for His
 glory, or for yours?
 
 INDY
 I didn\'t come for the Cup of
 Christ. I came to find my father.
 
 KAZIM
 In that case, God be with you in
 your quest. Your father is being
 held in the Castle of Brunwald on
 the Austrian-German border.
 
 KAZIM walks away.
 
 INT. VENICE APARTMENT - DAY
 
 CLOSE ON THE WATER-SOAKED PAPER IMPRESSION: The rubbing taken from
 the shield of the Grail Knight.
 
 BRODY is giving it careful study while he dabs the lump on the back of his head
 with an ice pack.
 
 INDY
 How\'s the head?
 
 BRODY
 It\'s better, now I\'ve seen this.
 It\'s the name of a city.
 \"Alexandretta?\" Hmmm...
 
 INDY, wearing a bathrobe, leans over to study the impression.
 
 INDY
 The Knights of the First Crusade
 laid siege to the city of
 Alexandretta for over a year.
 The entire city was destroyed.
 
 BRODY lowers the ice pack from his head and looks at INDY.
 
 INDY
 The present city of Iskenderun
 is built on its ruins. Marcus-
 you remember what the Grail
 Tablet said. \"Across the desert
 and through the mountain to the
 Canyon of the Crescent Moon.\"
 (pause)
 But where exactly?
 
 
 CONTINUED:
 
 BRODY
 Your father would know. Your
 father did know. Look. He
 made a map.
 
 BRODY picks up the Grail Diary.
 
 BRODY
 He must have pieced it together
 from clues scattered through the
 whole history of the Grail Quest.
 A map with no names.
 
 
 INSERT: A PENCIL-DRAWN MAP
 
 It covers two pages of the Diary. BRODY\'s finger moves across it.
 
 BRODY
 Now, he knew there was a city
 with an oasis due east. Here.
 He knew the course turned south
 through the desert to a river, and
 the river led into the mountains.
 Here. Straight to the canyon.
 He knew everything except where
 to begin, the name of the city.
 
 INDY
 (solemnly)
 Alexandretta. Now we know.
 
 BRODY
 Yes. Now we know.
 
 INDY
 (rising)
 Marcus, get hold of Sallah. Tell
 him to meet you in Iskenderun.
 
 INDY closes the Grail Diary and puts it into the pocket of his robe.
 
 BRODY
 What about you?
 
 INDY
 I\'m going after Dad.
 
 
 INT. INDY\'S BEDROOM - DAY
 
 INDY opens the door. His bedroom has been ransacked...the mattress on the
 floor, the drawers turned out.
 
 INT. HALLWAY - DAY
 
 INDY approaches another door (Elsa\'s bedroom) and knocks.
 
 INDY
 Elsa?
 
 He goes in.
 
 
 INT. ELSA\'S BEDROOM - DAY
 
 ... and finds that Elsa\'s bedroom is in a similar ransacked state to his own. The
 room is empty.
 
 He is worried for her, knocks and calls out:
 
 INDY
 Elsa?
 
 He steps into the room and knocks upon the bathroom door.
 
 INDY
 Elsa?
 
 He opens the bathroom door, peering inside.
 
 INDY
 Elsa?
 
 
 INT. ELSA\'S BATHROOM - DAY
 
 Elsa is standing before a mirror, wearing a silk bathrobe. She gasps, startled, as
 INDY enters. He retreats back into her bedroom as she reaches up to turn off a
 record player sitting on a ledge above the bathtub.
 
 
 INT. ELSA\'S BEDROOM - DAY
 
 ELSA joins INDY, waiting in the ransacked room. she looks around in shock.
 
 ELSA
 My room!
 
 INDY
 Mine, too.
 
 ELSA
 What were they looking for?
 
 She looks to INDY, who pulls the Grail Diary from his pocket.
 
 INDY
 This.
 
 
 CONTINUED:
 
 ELSA
 The Grail Diary.
 
 INDY
 Uh-huh.
 
 ELSA
 You had it? You didn\'t trust
 me!
 
 She looks hurt and beautiful. She comes closer to him.
 
 INDY
 I didn\'t know you.
 
 She\'s awfully hard to resist.
 
 INDY
 At least I let you tag along.
 
 ELSA
 Oh, yes. Give them a flower and
 they\'ll follow you anywhere.
 
 INDY
 Knock it off. You\'re not mad.
 
 ELSA
 No?
 
 INDY
 No. You like the way I do things.
 
 ELSA
 It\'s lucky I don\'t do things the
 same way. You\'d still be standing
 at the Venice pier.
 
 She stomps her foot angrily. INDY flinches. She starts to walk away but Indy
 grabs her.
 
 INDY
 Look, what do you think is going
 on here? Since I\'ve met you,
 I\'ve nearly been incinerated,
 drowned, shot at, and chopped into
 fish bait. We\'re caught in the
 middle of something sinister here.
 My guess is Dad found out more
 than he was looking for. And
 until I\'m sure, I\'m going to
 continue to do things the way I
 think they should be done.
 
 
 CONTINUED: (2)
 
 He pulls her to him and kisses her.
 
 ELSA
 How dare you kiss me!
 
 Now ELSA reaches for INDY and kisses him.
 
 INDY
 Leave me alone. I don\'t like
 fast women.
 
 But he embraces her, and ELSA begins to nibble at his ear.
 
 ELSA
 And I hate arrogant men.
 
 INDY smiles slyly as they fall to the bed.
 
 
 EXT. VENICE CANAL - DAY
 
 A GONDOLIER SINGS as he steers his gondola carrying two passengers past
 Indy\'s window.
 
 
 INT. INDY\'S BEDROOM - DAY
 
 INDY lies on top of ELSA, kissing her. He stops for a moment as he hears the
 GONDOLIER SINGING.
 
 INDY
 Ahh, Venice.
 
 ELSA reaches up and pulls him back down to her.
 
 
 EXT. ROAD THROUGH THE AUSTRIAN MOUNTAINS - DAY
 
 A Mercedes-Benz glides through the sharp mountain curves. This is
 SUPERIMPOSED OVER A MAP that charts their course from Venice across Austria
 toward Salzburg.
 
 
 EXT. CASTLE IN THE AUSTRIAN MOUNTAINS - DAY
 
 Storm clouds darken the skies. THUNDER EXPLODES in the
 distance; lightning flashes. The Mercedes-Benz drives into the courtyard of the
 formidable stone castle.
 
 INDY
 What do you know about this
 place?
 
 ELSA
 I know the Brunwalds are famous
 art collectors.
 
 INT. MERCEDES-BENZ - DAY
 
 INDY reaches into the back seat and retrieves his bullwhip.
 
 ELSA
 What are you going to do?
 
 INDY
 Don\'t know. Think of something.
 
 He glances up to the beret ELSA is wearing. She reaches up and adjusts it.
 
 
 INT. CASTLE ENTRANCE HALL - DAY
 
 A BUTLER walks to the door and opens it to reveal INDY and ELSA standing
 outside in the rain. she now wears Indy\'s fedora; Indy is wearing Elsa\'s beret.
 
 BUTLER
 Yes?
 
 INDY, followed by ELSA, steps inside, shaking the water from his overcoat. He
 adopts a Scottish accent.
 
 INDY
 And not before time! Did you
 intend to leave us standing on
 the doorstep all day? We\'re
 drenched!
 
 As INDY says this he pushes his way past the startled BUTLER, pulling a
 handkerchief from the man\'s pocket. ELSA follows, taking off her coat. INDY
 SNEEZES HARD.
 
 INDY
 Now look! I\'ve gone and caught
 a sniffle.
 
 INDY dabs at his nose with the handkerchief as ELSA looks on in amused
 amazement.
 
 BUTLER
 (coldly; with
 Austrian accent)
 Are you expected?
 
 INDY
 Don\'t take that tone with me, my
 good man. Now buttle off and tell
 Baron Brunwald that Lord Clarence
 MacDonald and his lovely assistant
 are here to view the tapestries.
 
 
 (CONT\'D)
 
 CONTINUED:
 BUTLER
 Tapestries?
 
 INDY
 Dear me, the man is dense. This
 is a castle, isn\'t it? There are
 tapestries?
 
 BUTLER
 This is a castle. And we have
 many tapestries. But if you\'re a
 Scottish lord, then I am Mickey
 Mouse.
 
 INDY
 How dare he?!
 
 Simultaneously knocking the BUTLER cold with one slug on the jaw. The Butler
 falls against a wall tapestry, sliding down to the floor, out cold.
 
 
 INT. CASTLE HALLWAY - DAY
 
 INDY and ELSA move cautiously and quietly down the wide, vaulted hallway.
 APPROACHING VOICES ARE HEARD. Indy and Elsa creep past a room full of
 NAZI SOLDIERS working around a large table with a map atop it..
 
 INDY reacts to the sight of them.
 
 INDY
 (to ELSA; softly)
 Nazis. I hate these guys.
 
 INDY and ELSA continue down the hallway. Indy carries a gun in his hand and
 his whip hangs from his belt. He steps to a closed door and listens.
 
 INDY
 This one. I think he\'s in here.
 
 ELSA
 How do you know?
 
 INDY points out an ELECTRICAL WIRE.
 
 INDY
 Because it\'s wired.
 
 He studies the situation for a moment, then decides to enter one of the other
 doors. He knocks at the door-there is no response. He looks back at ELSA and
 enters.
 
 INT. CASTLE ROOM - DAY
 
 The room is dark and empty. INDY throws open the window shutters and looks
 out. RAIN comes down in sheets. There is a wide ledge beneath each window-
 but below that is a SHEER DROP. Indy wants to get out onto the window ledge,
 which is several yards away.
 
 ELSA
 Indy? Indy?
 
 INDY reassures her.
 
 
 INDY
 Don\'t worry... this is kid\'s play.
 I\'ll be right back.
 
 He leans out the window and wraps his bullwhip around some wires that protrude
 from the castle wall above the next window.
 
 He gives the whip a forceful tug to make certain it will hold his weight.
 
 
 EXT. THE CASTLE - DAY
 
 INDY SWINGS from the window to the stone gargoyle.
 
 CLOSE ON THE WINDOW LEDGE
 
 A PAIR OF WOODEN SHUTTERS seals the window.
 
 INDY takes hold of the bullwhip with both hands, pushes off with his feet...
 swings toward the shuttered window with his feet extended... CRASHING
 THROUGH THE WOODEN SHUTTERS as a CLAP OF THUNDER disguises the noise.
 
 
 INT. THE ROOM - DAY
 
 INDY CRASHES THROUGH SHUTTERS AND GLASS into the room. The broken
 shutters hang by their hinges. Rain and cold air whip through the open window.
 
 No sooner does Indy get to his feet, than a VASE COMES CRASHING DOWN ON
 THE BACK OF HIS HEAD.
 
 Stunned, INDY sinks to one knee... and Indy\'s father, PROFESSOR HENRY JONES,
 steps out of the shadows.
 
 HENRY
 Junior?
 
 INDY gets to his feet.
 
 INDY
 (a reflex)
 Yes, sirl
 
 CONTINUED:
 
 This reply is a kneejerk reaction on Indy\'s part. Now they look at each other.
 
 HENRY
 It is you Junior!
 
 INDY
 (an old familiar
 irritation)
 Don\'t call me that, please.
 
 HENRY
 (amazed)
 But what are you doing here?
 
 INDY
 I came to get you! What do you
 think?
 
 NAZI VOICES ARE HEARD approaching. INDY and HENRY press themselves
 against the wall, Henry still holding the broken vase in his hand.
 
 INDY steps to the window and looks down. HENRY moves to a lamp, holding the
 vase under the light for a closer look.
 
 HENRY
 (sotto, mumbled)
 Late Fourteenth Century, Ming
 Dynasty.
 
 HENRY is all about the broken vase which he still holds in his hand. Father and
 son get onto crossed lines for a couple of moments.
 
 HENRY
 Oh, it breaks the heart.
 
 INDY
 (quietly to himself)
 And the head.
 (to HENRY, aggrievedly)
 You hit me, Dad!
 
 HENRY
 (referring to the
 vase)
 I\'ll never forgive myself-
 
 INDY
 (surprised,
 misunderstanding)
 Don\'t worry-I\'m fine.
 
 HENRY
 Thank God!
 
 
 CONTINUED: (2)
 
 HENRY has clearly been concentrating entirely on the vase... he is examining the
 broken end carefully.
 
 HENRY
 ... it\'s fake. See, you can tell
 by the cross section.
 
 HENRY throws the vase against the wall where it SHATTERS.
 
 INDY
 No! Dad, get your stuff. We\'ve
 got to get out of here.
 
 HENRY
 Well, I am sorry about your head,
 though. But I thought you were
 one of them.
 
 INDY
 Dad, they come in through the
 doors.
 
 HENRY
 (laughs)
 Good point.
 
 INDY steps to the door and stands, listening.
 
 HENRY
 But better safe than sorry.
 
 HENRY slides his umbrella through the straps of his bag.
 
 HENRY
 Humpf-so I was wrong this time.
 But by God, I wasn\'t wrong when I
 mailed you my Diary. You obviously
 got it.
 
 INDY
 I got it and I used it. We found
 the entrance to the catacombs.
 
 HENRY
 (excited)
 Through the library?
 
 INDY
 Right.
 
 HENRY
 I knew it. And the tomb of Sir
 Richard?
 
 
 CONTINUED: (3)
 
 INDY nods.
 
 INDY
 Found it.
 
 HENRY
 (breathless)
 He was actually there? You saw
 him?
 
 
 INDY
 Well, what was left of him.
 
 HENRY
 (trembling with
 anticipation)
 And his shield... the inscription
 on Sir Richard\'s shield...?
 
 INDY
 Alexandretta.
 (beat)
 
 It\'s a great moment in HENRY\'s life. He turns aside, lost to himself for a
 moment, then turns to INDY with joy.
 
 HENRY
 Alexandretta... of course... on
 the pilgrim trail from the Eastern
 Empire. Oh, Junior...
 
 INDY winces, and would interrupt but suddenly it\'s not the moment.
 
 HENRY
 ... you did it.
 
 
 INDY
 No, Dad. You did. Forty years.
 
 HENRY
 If only I could have been with
 you.
 
 INDY
 There were rats, Dad.
 
 HENRY
 Rats?
 
 INDY
 Yeah. big ones. What do the
 Nazis want with you Dad?
 
 HENRY
 They want my diary.
 
 
 CONTINUED: (4)
 
 INDY
 (interested)
 Yeah?
 
 INDY\'s interest is a moment which becomes important later but for now it passes.
 
 HENRY
 I knew I had to get that book as
 far away from me as I possibly
 could.
 
 INDY\'s hand moves unconsciously to his pocket. His eyes turn inward.
 
 INDY
 (thoughtfully)
 Yeah. . .
 
 Then... BAMI The door is kicked open and three NAZIS enter. One is an S.S.
 OFFICER. The other two are SOLDIERS with machine guns. HENRY and INDY
 raise their hands.
 
 S.S. OFFICER
 Doctor Jones!!
 
 HENRY & INDY
 Yes!!
 
 
 S.S. OFFICER
 I will take the book now.
 
 INDY/HENRY
 (simultaneously)
 What book?
 
 S.S. OFFICER
 (to INDY)
 You have the Diary in your pocket.
 
 HENRY laughs genuinely, believing himself to be laughing at the expense of the
 S.S. OFFICER.
 
 HENRY
 You doltl Do you think that my
 son would be that stupid that
 he would bring my Diary all the
 way back here?
 
 At which point an awful thought strikes HENRY.
 
 HENRY
 You didn\'t, did you?
 (a beat)
 You didn\'t bring it, did you?
 
 
 CONTINUED: (5)
 
 INDY
 Well, uh...
 
 HENRY
 You did!!
 
 
 INDY
 Look, can we discuss this later?
 
 HENRY
 I should have mailed it to the
 Marx Brothers.
 
 INDY
 (overlapping)
 Will you take it easy....!
 
 HENRY
 Take it easy?! Why do you think
 I sent it home in the first place?
 (points towards
 the NAZIS)
 So it wouldn\'t fall into their
 hands!!
 
 INDY
 I came here to save you.
 
 HENRY
 Oh yeah? And who\'s gonna come to
 save you, Junior??
 
 INDY\'s eyes blazes His nostrils flares He\'s so pissed off, he literally RIPS A
 MACHINE GUN from the hands of one of the startled soldiers... and for a moment
 we think he\'s going to use it on his dad.
 
 INDY
 I told you--
 
 He turns and sprays the room with machine gun fire, cutting all three NAZIS to
 ribbons and blowing them backwards across the room.
 
 INDY
 --don\'t call me Junior!
 
 HENRY looks shocked and horrified.
 
 HENRY
 Look what you did!!
 
 Indy grabs him and pushes him ahead.
 
 HENRY
 (aghast)
 I can\'t believe what you just....
 
 INT. CASTLE HALLWAY - DAY
 
 INDY leads HENRY down the hallway as he searches for Elsa.
 
 INDY
 Elsa? Elsa?
 
 He opens a door and enters:
 
 INT. FIRST CASTLE ROOM - DAY
 
 
 INDY and HENRY rush back into the room where ELSA had been left, only to
 find: A Nazi COLONEL HOLDING ELSA HOSTAGE.
 
 His name is VOGEL: a vicious-looking, lantern jawed brute. One arm is wrapped
 around Elsa\'s waist, the other hand presses the muzzle of a LUGER behind her
 ear.
 
 VOGEL
 That\'s far enough Put down the
 gun, Doctor Jones. Put down the
 gun or the Fraulein dies.
 
 HENRY
 But she\'s one of them!
 
 ELSA
 Indy, please!
 
 HENRY
 She\'s a Nazi!
 
 INDY
 What?!
 
 INDY is thrown. He doesn\'t know what to do. He looks at ELSA, then back to his
 father. Everyone is yelling at once:
 
 HENRY
 Trust me!
 
 
 ELSA
 Indy, no!
 
 VOGEL
 I will kill her!
 
 HENRY
 Oh yeah? Go ahead!
 
 INDY
 No! Don\'t Shoot!
 
 
 CONTINUED:
 
 HENRY
 (to Indy)
 Don\'t worry. He won\'t.
 
 ELSA
 Indy, please! Do what he says!
 
 HENRY
 And don\'t listen to her!
 
 VOGEL
 Enough! She diesl
 
 VOGEL jams the barrel of the luger painfully into ELSA\'s neck. Elsa SCREAMS.
 
 INDY
 Wait! Waitl
 
 And then Indy gives in. He drops the machine gun to the table and it slides
 across, SHATTERING GLASS. HENRY GROANS audibly.
 
 VOGEL releases his grip on ELSA and shoves her toward INDY. She is propelled
 directly into his arms. He holds her tightly. She buries her face in his chest.
 
 ELSA
 I\'m sorry.
 
 INDY comforts her.
 
 INDY
 No, don\'t be.
 
 Her hand slips into his coat pocket and removes the Grail Diary.
 
 ELSA
 But you should have listened to
 your father.
 
 She steps back next to VOGEL. INDY is stunned. HENRY gives him his most
 withering look of reprimand.
 
 
 INT. BARONIAL ROOM - DAY
 
 A large baronial room decorated with ancient tapestries and suits of armor.
 Firelight-from the giant fireplace-dances across the ceiling and walls.
 
 INDY and HENRY are ushered in, hands tied behind back, accompanied by VOGEL
 and ELSA and TWO NAZI GUARDS.
 
 ELSA crosses the room toward a high-backed chair facing the fireplace. INDY and
 HENRY do not have the advantage of seeing who is sitting in that chair. They
 only see a HAND REACH OUT AND TAKE THE BOOK.
 
 
 CONTINUED:
 
 INDY
 (quietly to HENRY)
 She ransacked her own room and I
 fell for it. How did you know
 she was a Nazi?
 
 HENRY
 Umh?
 
 INDY
 How did you she was a Nazi?
 
 HENRY
 She talks in her sleep.
 
 INDY nods, and then the statement catches up with him. He looks at HENRY
 with surprise.
 
 HENRY
 I didn\'t trust her. Why did
 you?
 
 MAN IN CHAIR
 Because he didn\'t take my advice.
 
 The MAN IN THE CHAIR gets to his feet and turns, revealing himself to be...
 WALTER DONOVAN. INDY and HENRY react with stunned expressions.
 
 INDY
 Donovan
 
 DONOVAN
 Didn\'t I warn you not to trust
 anybody, Doctor Jones?
 
 DONOVAN smiles benignly and flips through the Grail Diary.
 
 HENRY
 I misjudged you Walter-I knew
 you\'d sell your mother for an
 Etruscan vase.
 But I didn\'t know you\'d sell your
 country and your soul to the slime
 of humanity.
 
 DONOVAN
 (suddenly erupting)
 Doctor Schneider There\'re pages
 torn out of thisl
 
 ELSA rushes to DONOVAN\'s side. she takes the Grail Diary from him. Elsa takes
 a look for herself-then glances up at Indy.
 
 
 CONTINUED: (2)
 
 ELSA
 This book contained a map-a
 map with no names-precise
 directions from the unknown city
 to the secret Canyon of the
 Crescent Moon.
 
 INDY
 So it did.
 
 
 DONOVAN
 Where are these missing pages?
 This maps we must have these
 pages backs
 
 HENRY gives INDY a look of surprise. Indy smirks.
 
 ELSA
 (to Donovan)
 You\'re wasting your breath. He
 won\'t tell us. And he doesn\'t
 have to... it\'s perfectly obvious
 where the pages are...
 (looking at Indy)
 ... he\'s given them to Marcus
 Brody.
 
 HENRY now wears a pained expression.
 
 HENRY
 (to Indy)
 Marcus?! You didn\'t drag poor
 Marcus along, did you? He\'s not
 up to the challenge.
 
 DONOVAN
 He sticks out like a sore thumb.
 We\'ll find him.
 
 INDY
 The hell you will. He\'s got a
 two-day head-start on you, which
 is more than he needs.
 (beat)
 Brody\'s got friends in every town
 and village from here to the Sudan.
 He speaks a dozen languages, knows
 every local custom. He\'ll blend
 in. Disappear. You\'ll never see
 him again. With any luck, he\'s
 got the Grail already.
 
 HENRY looks amazed and impressed.
 
 EXT. TRAIN STATION - CITY OF ISKENDERUN - DAY
 
 BRODY disembarks from the train along with the other PASSENGERS, a cross-
 section of ARABS and TUSKS.
 
 BRODY
 Does anyone here speak English?
 Or even ancient Greek?
 
 A Man in the crowd holds out a cup of water to BRODY.
 
 BRODY
 No water, no thank you. No, fish
 make love in it.
 
 BRODY continues through the crowd past various STREET VENDORS. A Woman
 holds a chicken out to him.
 
 BRODY
 Thank you so much. No, I don\'t
 like that. No, I really don\'t
 want... No, no, thank you very
 much. No, thank you, madam.
 I\'m a vegetarian.
 
 
 The Woman walks away, leaving BRODY alone in the crowd.
 
 BRODY
 Does anyone understand a word I\'m
 saying here?
 
 SALLAH shoulders his way through the mob toward BRODY.
 
 SALLAH
 Mister Brodyl
 
 They meet and hug, then begin to walk.
 
 BRODY
 Oh, Sallahl What a relief!
 
 SALLAH
 (laughs)
 Marcus Brody, sir. And where is
 Indy?
 
 BRODY
 (overlapping)
 Oh, he\'s in Austria. A slight
 detour.
 
 SALLAH
 You are on your own?
 
 A Woman runs in and tugs on BRODY\'s coat. He waves her away.
 
 
 CONTINUED:
 
 BRODY
 Yes, but don\'t panic. Everything\'s
 under control. Have you. . .have
 you arranged our supplies?
 
 SALLAH
 Oh, yes, of course. But where
 are we going?
 
 BRODY
 Oh, this map will show you. It
 was drawn by, uh...
 
 BRODY searches in his coat pocket for the map as a SINISTER MAN approaches.
 
 SINISTER MAN
 Mister Brody?
 
 BRODY puts the map back in his pocket. The SINISTER MAN clicks his heels and
 bows quickly.
 
 SINISTER MAN
 Welcome to Iskenderun. The
 Director of the Museum of
 Antiquities has sent a car for
 you.
 
 BRODY takes off his hat.
 
 BRODY
 Oh, what?... your servant, sir.
 
 SALLAH
 And I am his.
 
 
 SINISTER MAN
 Follow me, please.
 
 The man turns and joins a SECOND MAN. BRODY and SALLAH follow them.
 
 BRODY
 My reputation precedes me.
 
 SALLAH
 There is no museum in Iskenderun.
 
 The SECOND MAN overhears SALLAH. He and his companion turn quickly.
 
 SECOND MAN
 Papers please.
 
 SALLAH
 Papers?
 (laughs)
 Of course.
 
 
 CONTINUED: (2)
 
 SALLAH puts Brody\'s luggage down and glances at BRODY.
 
 SALLAH
 Run.
 
 
 BRODY does not run. SALLAH pats his clothing, searching for his papers.
 
 BRODY
 Yes.
 
 SALLAH
 Papers, sir. Got it here.
 
 SALLAH laughs and pulls out a newspaper.
 
 SALLAH
 Just finished reading it myself.
 (laughs; then, to
 Brody)
 Run!
 
 BRODY looks confused. SALLAH shows the newspaper to the SECOND MAN.
 
 BRODY
 Yes.
 
 
 SALLAH
 Egyptian Mail. Morning edition.
 (to Brody)
 Run!
 
 BRODY
 Did you say...? Uh, uh...
 
 SALLAH puts the newspaper in front of the SECOND MAN\'s face, then punches
 him through the newspaper.
 
 SALLAH
 Run!
 
 
 The SECOND MAN falls, knocking over a vendor\'s stand. SALLAH and BRODY
 begin to run. SALLAH knocks the FIRST MAN into another vendor\'s stand. The
 STAND COLLAPSES on impact.
 
 SALLAH grabs BRODY and pulls him through the crowded streets.
 
 SALLAH
 (to Brody; pointing)
 Okay, okay, quick, quick, quickl
 Hide in that doorl Hide in that
 door!
 
 SALLAH points to a DARKENED DOORWAY, hung with a curtain, at the top of a
 ramp. BRODY runs up the ramp, throws back the curtain and disappears into
 the darkness.
 
 
 CONTINUED: (3)
 
 Then-METAL DOORS ARE SLAMMED behind Brody and we realize that he has
 actually run into the back of a Nazi TROOP TRUCK.
 
 SALLAH runs after the Truck until he reaches a wall, then leans against the wall
 dejectedly as the Truck drives away with BRODY inside.
 
 
 INT. CASTLE ROOM - DAY
 
 The room is dark. Ancient, floor-length drapes cover the windows. A HUGE
 FIREPLACE that\'s nearly large enough for a man to stand upright in dominates
 one wall.
 
 The NAZI GUARDS have tied INDY and HENRY back-to-back in a pair of chairs.
 ELSA and DONOVAN stand over them. VOGEL enters.
 
 HENRY
 Intolerable.
 
 
 VOGEL
 Doctor Schneider. Message from
 Berlin. You must return immediately:
 a rally at the Institute of Aryan
 Culture.
 
 ELSA
 So?
 
 VOGEL
 Your presence on the platform is
 requested... at the highest level.
 
 ELSA
 Thank you, Herr Oberst.
 (to DONOVAN)
 I will meet you at Iskenderun.
 
 DONOVAN
 Take this Diary to the Reich
 Museum in Berlin. It will show
 them our progress, ahead of
 schedule. Without a map, I\'m
 afraid it\'s no better than a
 souvenir.
 
 He hands her the Grail Diary.
 
 VOGEL
 (to DONOVAN, meaning
 Indy and Henry)
 Let me kill them now.
 
 
 CONTINUED:
 
 ELSA
 No. If we fail to recover the
 pages from Brody, we\'ll need them
 alive.
 
 DONOVAN
 (to VOGEL, with a
 helpless shrug)
 Always do what the doctor orders.
 
 DONOVAN leads VOGEL out. The NAZI GUARDS follow. Once they are gone,
 ELSA turns to INDY.
 
 ELSA
 Don\'t look at me like that-we
 both wanted the Grail, I would
 have done anything to get it.
 You would have done the same.
 
 INDY shakes his head \"no.\"
 
 INDY
 I\'m sorry you think so.
 
 She runs her hand down the side of his face. INDY pulls away.
 
 INDY and HENRY are still tied back-to-back of course. ELSA bends to speak
 quietly into INDY\'s ear... which is near enough to Henry\'s ear.
 
 ELSA
 (whispers)
 I can\'t forget... how wonderful
 it was.
 
 HENRY
 Thank you. It was rather wonderful.
 
 She smiles and kisses INDY passionately. HENRY glances back and looks rather
 disappointed.
 
 VOGEL appears to remind ELSA of her appointment.
 
 VOGEL
 Doctor Schneider! Your car is
 waiting.
 
 ELSA
 (to INDY, after
 finishing the kiss)
 That\'s how Austrians say goodbye.
 
 ELSA exits. VOGEL stays behind for another moment.
 
 
 CONTINUED: (2)
 
 VOGEL
 And this is how we say goodbye in
 Germany, Doctor Jones.
 
 VOGEL punches INDY in the jaw. A hard and vicious jab that snaps Indy\'s head
 around.
 
 HENRY
 Ohh. . .
 
 VOGEL exits. INDY shakes his head clear.
 
 INDY
 (to himself)
 Ooooh... I like the Austrian way
 better.
 
 HENRY
 So did I.
 
 INDY
 Let\'s try and get these ropes
 loose. We\'ve got to get to Marcus
 before the Nazis do!
 
 HENRY
 (confused)
 You said he had two days\' start.
 That he would blend in. Disappear!
 
 INDY
 Are you kidding?-I made that
 up! You know Marcus-he got
 lost once in his own museum!
 
 Indy and Henry are pulling at the ropes with great urgency.
 
 INDY
 Can you try and reach into my
 left jacket pocket?
 
 HENRY is able to wiggle his hand towards Indy\'s coat pocket. INDY squirms his
 body around towards Henry\'s hand.
 
 HENRY
 What am I looking for?
 
 INDY
 My lucky charm.
 
 HENRY
 Feels like a cigarette lighter.
 
 
 CONTINUED: (3)
 
 INDY
 Try and burn through the ropes.
 
 HENRY\'s fingers open the lighter and ignite the flame.
 
 HENRY
 Very good.
 
 HENRY yelps as the cigarette lighter burns his hand. He drops the lighter to the
 floor. Henry kicks at the lighter, trying to reach it, but cannot. The rug starts to
 burn. INDY doesn\'t know it yet.
 
 HENRY
 I ought to tell you something.
 
 INDY
 Don\'t get sentimental now Dad-
 save it \'til we get out of here.
 
 HENRY
 The floor\'s on fire! See?!
 
 INDY
 (turns and sees)
 What???
 
 HENRY
 And the chair.
 
 INDY
 All right, movel Move! Rock
 your Chair. Do what I do.
 
 They begin to rock their chair legs, inching their way off the burning carpet.
 
 
 EXT. CASTLE - DAY
 
 as ELSA is driven away. VOGEL and DONOVAN remain behind, flanked by NAZI
 SOLDIERS .
 
 Another car pulls up and VOGEL holds the door open for DONOVAN who gets into
 the rear seat. A LIEUTENANT approaches with a written message for Donovan.
 
 LIEUTENANT
 Etwas wichtig, mein Herr.
 
 DONOVAN puts on his glasses to read the message.
 
 DONOVAN
 Well, we have Marcus Brody. But
 more important, we have the map.
 
 A RADIO OPERATOR steps forward with yet another written message for
 DONOVAN.
 
 
 CONTINUED:
 
 
 RADIO OPERATOR
 Aus Berlin, mein Herr.
 
 DONOVAN
 (reading)
 \"By the personal command of the
 Fuhrer. Secrecy essential to
 success. Eliminate the American
 conspirators.\"
 (to VOGEL)
 Germany has declared war on the
 Jones boys.
 (to DRIVER)
 Los fahren.
 
 The car drives off.
 
 INT. CASTLE ROOM - DAY
 
 INDY and HENRY are still in their chairs, tied back-to-back. Indy tries to
 communicate with Henry, but each time he calls him, the men turn their heads in
 opposite directions.
 
 INDY
 Dad!
 
 HENRY
 What?
 
 INDY
 Dad!
 
 HENRY
 What?
 
 INDY
 Dad!
 
 Finally they turn their heads in the same direction.
 
 HENRY
 What?
 
 INDY
 Head for the fireplace!
 
 HENRY
 Oh.
 
 
 BANGING, ROCKING and HOPPING their chairs, they work their way INTO THE
 FIREPLACE-the only safe place from the now ROARING FIRE.
 
 CONTINUED:
 
 INDY
 I think I can get these ropes
 off.
 
 Indy struggles to free his hands. His foot kicks out and accidentally hits a metal
 grill that operates a Secret Door.
 
 INDY
 Whoopsl
 
 The fireplace floor rotates like a Lazy Susan and Indy and his father find
 themselves in the:
 
 
 INT. RADIO ROOM - DAY
 
 where a NAZI RADIOMAN wearing headphones sits at an elaborate panel of dials,
 switches and meters, and a WOMAN stands over a map plotting coordinates.
 Their backs are turned to INDY and HENRY.
 
 The floor begins to rotate again, and INDY and HENRY find themselves back in:
 
 
 INT. CASTLE ROOM - DAY
 
 inside the fireplace, still tied back-to-back.
 
 HENRY
 Our situation has not improved.
 
 INDY glances over his shoulder at HENRY.
 
 INDY
 Listen Dad... I\'m almost free.
 
 INDY\'s foot hits the grill again... and the fireplace rotates to:
 
 
 INT. RADIO ROOM - DAY
 
 FOUR NAZI RADIOMEN and the WOMAN are still hard at work with controls and
 coordinates. Suddenly the Woman looks up and spots HENRY and INDY. She
 screams.
 
 WOMAN
 Alarm!
 
 Now the RADIOMEN turn to see HENRY and INDY.
 
 WOMAN
 Schnel!!
 
 TWO NAZIS draw their revolvers and FIRE SEVERAL SHOTS at INDY and HENRY
 
 INT. CASTLE ROOM - DAWN
 
 INDY and HENRY rotate into the room which is now an INFERNO. The carpet,
 drapes and furniture are all ablaze.
 
 HENRY
 This is intolerable!
 
 INDY
 I\'m out, Dad!
 
 
 INDY finally breaks free. And he immediately begins to untie his father.
 
 HENRY
 Well done, boy!
 
 INT. RADIO ROOM - DAY
 
 All FOUR RADIOMEN now have their guns drawn. They activate the lever and
 begin to rotate through the Secret Door.
 
 
 INT. CASTLE ROOM - DAY
 
 The RADIOMEN appear in the fireplace on the other side-but there is NO SIGN
 OF INDY AND HENRY.
 
 The RADIOMEN move cautiously toward the flame, shielding their faces with one
 hand, holding their guns with the other. Is it possible that INDY and HENRY
 escaped through these flames?
 
 Not a chance.
 
 They\'ve hidden themselves UP THE CHIMNEY. And now they DROP DOWN,
 BEHIND the RADIOMEN.
 
 One of the RADIOMEN grabs INDY by the neck. As they struggle they fall against
 the rotating wall and disappear into the next room, leaving a frightened HENRY
 behind.
 
 HENRY presses against the wall, which rotates again. As he disappears into the
 next room, a DEAD NAZI RADIOMAN swivels into the room. The other NAZIS
 rush forward to him.
 
 INT. RADIO ROOM - DAY
 
 INDY picks up a BUST OF HITLER and uses it to jam the rotating wall in place,
 sealing the NAZIS inside the burning room.
 
 
 INT. CASTLE HALLWAY- DAY
 
 Vogel strides purposefully down the hallway. He BARKS an order, and TWO
 MORE NAZIS fall into step with him.
 
 INT. RADIO ROOM - DAY
 
 INDY grabs his whip, his leather sack and Henry\'s case from a table. He hands
 the case to HENRY and they begin to run.
 
 INDY
 Come on Dad.
 
 INT. SECRET ROOM - DAY
 
 INDY and HENRY step into an empty room.
 
 INDY
 Dead end.
 
 HENRY looks horrified by what he\'s been forced to do as INDY searches
 frantically for an exit.
 
 INDY
 There\'s got to be a... a secret
 door around. A passageway or
 something.
 
 INDY begins to run his hands over the walls-frantic.
 
 HENRY
 I find that if I just sit down
 and think...
 
 HENRY sits on a chair which tips back, hitting the wall behind it. The floor at
 INDY\'s feet suddenly begins DROPPING AWAYI
 
 INDY grabs a railing to keep from falling, but loses his grip and plunges through
 the opening which has formed a SPIRAL STAIRCASE. He rolls down the stairs.
 
 INDY
 Dad!
 
 HENRY
 ... the solution presents itself.
 
 HENRY follows INDY down the staircase.
 
 
 INT. CAVERN/UNDERGROUND HARBOR - DAY
 
 The stairway deposits Indy and Henry into an enormous WATERY CAVERN
 beneath the mountain on which the castle was built.
 
 A full-scale Nazi BOAT DOCK has been built inside the cavern. We see
 MOTORBOATS, GUNBOATS, SUPPLY BOATS, etc.
 
 INDY
 Great. More boats.
 
 
 CONTINUED:
 
 INDY boards one of the motorboats and STARTS THE MOTOR.
 
 HENRY
 Would you say this has been just
 another typical day for you? Huh?
 
 HENRY tosses his case at INDY who catches it and angrily throws it back to his
 father.
 
 INDY
 (ironically)
 Ooofl No! It\'s been better than
 most.
 
 INDY moves back to the dock and pushes the boat away. HENRY looks confused.
 
 INDY
 Come on, Dad. Come onl
 
 HENRY
 What about the boat? We\'re not
 going on the boat?
 
 
 INT. SECRET ROOM - DAY
 
 VOGEL and the NAZI SOLDIERS enter the room and spot the spiral staircase
 leading below. They quickly descend the stairs.
 
 
 INT. CAVERN/UNDERGROUND HARBOR - DAY
 
 as VOGEL and the NAZI SOLDIERS rush to the dock. Vogel sees that a motorboat
 is missing. He orders the Nazi Soldiers into a boat.
 
 VOGEL
 Sie alle ins Boat. Schnell!
 
 CAMERA PULLS BACK TO REVEAL a large box which suddenly BREAKS APART
 as INDY, now on a motorbike with HENRY in the sidecar, ROARS PAST THE
 DOCK, hitting TWO NAZI SOLDIERS who scream as they fall into the river.
 
 VOGEL screams after INDY and HENRY as they drive off.
 
 STRAIGHT CUT TO:
 
 EXT. COUNTRY ROAD - DAY
 
 INDY looks pleased as he drives the motorbike along the road, but HENRY
 appears worried.
 
 INDY
 Ha!
 
 FOUR NAZI SOLDIERS ON MOTORCYCLES
 
 They chase down the road after INDY and HENRY.
 
 INDY turns the motorbike down a smaller, dusty tree-lined road. HENRY gasps
 as he is jostled about in the sidecar. One of the NAZI SOLDIERS gives chase along
 a higher road running in the same direction.
 
 
 EXT. ROAD BARRICADE - DAY
 
 INDY approaches the barricade from one direction as one of the NAZI SOLDIERS
 approaches from a higher road.
 
 A GUARD steps from the road station and calls to the vehicles as INDY and
 HENRY SMASH THROUGH THE BARRICADE.
 
 GUARD
 Halt! Halt!
 
 THE NAZI SOLDIER rides his motorcycle through the other side of the barrier--
 IT SHATTERS.
 
 INDY AND HENRY
 
 INDY grabs at a FLAGPOLE as they roar past-it snaps off in his hand.
 
 The NAZI SOLDIER drives his motorcycle toward INDY and HENRY. He
 unshoulders his machine gun.
 
 INDY uses the broken flagpole as a lance and knocks the NAZI SOLDIER from his
 motorcycle.
 
 THE RIDERLESS MOTORCYCLE
 
 drives on toward the other NAZI SOLDIERS now approaching the guardhouse,
 COLLIDING WITH TWO OF THEM.
 
 The remaining NAZI SOLDIER maneuvers his motorcycle around his fallen
 comrades and continues the chase.
 
 
 INDY AND HENRY
 
 As the remaining NAZI SOLDIER rides alongside their motorbike he cocks his gun,
 preparing to fire.
 
 INDY quickly jams the remaining portion of the flagpole through the spokes of the
 Nazi\'s front wheel.
 
 The NAZI SOLDIER\'S MOTORCYCLE FLIPS THREE TIMES, throwing him high into
 the air.
 
 
 CONTINUED:
 
 INDY glances back and smiles, but the smile fades as he looks forward again to
 see a sign at a CROSSROAD. Arrows pointing in opposite directions indicate the
 way to BERLIN or VENEDIG.
 
 Indy starts down the road marked VENEDIG.
 
 HENRY
 Stop!
 
 INDY
 What?
 
 HENRY
 Stop! Stop!
 
 The motorbike skids to a stop.
 
 
 HENRY
 You\'re going the wrong Way! We
 have to get to Berlin!
 
 INDY
 (pointing towards
 Venedig)
 Brody\'s this way.
 
 HENRY
 My Diary\'s in Berlin.
 
 INDY
 You don\'t need the Diary, Dad.
 Marcus has the map.
 
 HENRY
 There is more in the Diary than
 just the map.
 
 INDY
 All right Dad-tell me.
 
 HENRY
 Well, he who finds the Grail must
 face the final challenge.
 
 INDY
 What final challenge?
 
 HENRY
 Three devices of such lethal
 cunning.
 
 INDY
 Booby traps?
 
 
 CONTINUED: (2)
 
 HENRY
 Oh, yes. But I found the clues
 that will safely take us through,
 in the Chronicles of St. Anselm.
 
 INDY
 But what are they? Can\'t you
 remember?
 
 HENRY
 I wrote them down in my Diary so
 that I wouldn\'t have to remember
 
 INDY
 Half the German Army\'s on our
 tail and you want me to go to
 Berlin? Into the lion\'s den?
 
 HENRY
 Yes! The only thing that matters
 is the Grail.
 
 INDY
 What about Marcus?
 
 HENRY
 Marcus would agree with me.
 
 INDY
 Two selfless martyrs. Jesus
 Christl
 
 HENRY slaps him across the face. INDY is rocked to his foundations, not by any
 means entirely by the blow itself.
 
 HENRY
 That\'s for blasphemy. The quest
 for the Grail is not archaeology.
 It\'s a race against evil.
 If it is captured by the Nazis,
 the armies of darkness will march
 all over the face of the earth.
 Do you understand me?
 
 INDY
 This is an obsession Dad. I never
 understood it. Never. Neither
 did Mom.
 
 HENRY
 Oh yes, she did. Only too well.
 Unfortunately she kept her illness
 from me until all I could do was
 mourn her.
 
 EXT. CROSSROADS - DAY
 
 Arrows point in opposite directions to VENICE and BERLIN. The CAMERA MOVES
 IN on the portion of the sign reading BERLIN.
 
 
 EXT. CITY SQUARE - BERLIN - NIGHT
 
 A Nazi Rally-a book-burning is in process.
 
 The mound of burning books is ten feet tall and growing by the minute as College
 Students and Nazi Brownshirts continually toss more books onto the fire.
 
 Flags, banners and standards displaying the swastika are waved rhythmically
 from side to side in a motion that echoes the mounting frenzy of the enormous
 crowd.
 
 INDY and HENRY walk toward the Square. Indy wears the uniform of a Nazi
 Soldier. He is now buttoning up the tunic-which happens to be several sizes
 too big.
 
 HENRY
 My boy, we are Pilgrims in an
 unholy land.
 
 Then... Indy sees something that makes him stop in his tracks. WE PAN ALONG
 HIS LINE OF SIGHT to:
 
 THE PODIUM
 
 where high-ranking Officers of the Third Reich stand flanking ADOLF HITLER as
 they oversee the rally.
 
 
 ANOTHER ANGLE
 
 ELSA is walking away in an open area, background of torches, vehicles, Nazi
 Officers... one of whom is now none other than INDY, coming up to her before she
 knows he is there. His voice is quiet and tough, his eyes hard.
 
 INDY
 Fraulein Doctor. Where is it?
 
 Still startled, her reaction makes it clear that Indy is even now a lover in her
 thoughts.
 
 ELSA
 How did you get here?
 
 INDY
 Where is it? I want it.
 
 INDY pushes ELSA against a column and begins to search her clothing for the
 Diary. He pulls the book from Elsa\'s pocket.
 
 
 CONTINUED:
 
 ELSA
 You came back for the book?
 Whv?
 
 INDY
 My father didn\'t want it
 incinerated.
 
 She understands him. It\'s as though he slapped her.
 
 ELSA
 Is that what you think of me?
 I believe in the Grail, not the
 Swastika.
 
 INDY
 (vicious)
 Yet you stood up to be counted
 with the enemy of everything the
 Grail stands for-who gives a
 damn what you think?
 
 
 ELSA
 (hard and fast)
 You do.
 
 Now it\'s as though she\'d slapped him back. His hands fly to her neck.
 
 INDY
 All I have to do is squeeze.
 
 ELSA
 All I have to do is scream.
 
 It\'s a standoff emotionally. He knows he\'d never do it. she knows it too. And
 the same goes for screaming.
 
 INDY releases her and backs away. she looks at him with a lover\'s pain. He
 moves over to HENRY.
 
 INDY
 I\'ve got it. Let\'s get the hell
 out of here.
 
 They move off and almost run headlong into HITLER and his entire entourage
 coming down from the Podium. 50 kids push their autograph books for Hitler\'s
 signature.
 
 HITLER pauses to sign them. Hitler looks Indy\'s way. They make eye contact. It
 only lasts a moment but the moment is electric.
 
 HITLER breaks the spell by taking the Grail Diary from him, opens it to the first
 page and signs his autograph. He hands it back and moves on.
 
 EXT. AIRFIELD - BERLIN, GERMANY- DAY
 
 Indy\'s motorcycle pulls up to the main terminal.
 
 
 INT. TERMINAL BUILDING - DAY
 
 A Plainclothes Agent distributes leaflets bearing HENRY\'S PICTURE to Nazi
 Soldiers inside the terminal.
 
 HENRY leans in a doorway reading a newspaper as INDY enters down the stairs
 and taps Henry\'s shoulder.
 
 They begin to walk toward the boarding gates.
 
 HENRY
 What did you get?
 
 INDY
 I don\'t know. The first available
 flight out of Germany.
 
 HENRY
 Good.
 
 INDY and HENRY show their papers to the Boarding Guards, then join the line of
 passengers, which has already begun to move toward a:
 
 
 MOORED ZEPPELIN
 
 Ten stories tall and longer than two football fields: Flying in the grand tradition!
 
 
 INT. THE ZEPPELIN - PASSENGER COMPARTMENT - DAY
 
 The Zeppelin is about to take off. INDY and HENRY make themselves comfortable
 in one of the compartments.
 
 INDY
 Well, we made it.
 
 HENRY looks over his newspaper at INDY.
 
 HENRY
 When we\'re airborne, with Germany
 behind us, then I\'ll share that
 sentiment.
 
 INDY
 Relax.
 
 But INDY looks out the window and is suddenly concerned when he sees:
 VOGEL AND A GESTAPO AGENT
 rushing across the tarmac toward the Zeppelin.
 
 VOGEL
 Nicht zumachen! Wir steigen ein!
 
 INDY
 
 sits back in his chair, looks to HENRY, now reading his newspaper.
 
 A STEWARD enters and sets a bowl of nuts on the table in front of INDY and
 HENRY, then continues down the aisle of passengers. Indy follows after the
 Steward. He puts his arm around the Steward\'s shoulder and together they walk
 up a flight of stairs.
 
 VOGEL
 
 now walks up the aisle. He approaches a MALE PASSENGER hidden behind a
 newspaper. VOGEL uses his walking stick to lower the newspaper and show the
 Passenger the leaflet with Henry\'s photograph.
 
 VOGEL
 Haben sie disen Mann gesehen?
 
 The Passengers at the table shake their heads in the negative. VOGEL shows the
 picture to other Passengers.
 
 FEMALE PASSENGER
 Nein.
 
 INDY (O.S.)
 Fahrscheine, bitte.
 
 MALE PASSENGER
 Nein.
 
 VOGEL turns to see:
 
 INDY
 
 WEARING THE HAT AND JACKET OF THE CHIEF STEWARD.
 
 MALE PASSENGER (O.S.)
 Ich habe ihn night gesehen.
 
 INDY
 Tickets please.
 
 The Passengers do not react to the request, made in English.
 
 INDY
 Fahrscheine meine Dame. Bitte.
 
 VOGEL
 
 approaches HENRY, still hidden behind his newspaper. Again, VOGEL uses his
 walking stick to lower the paper, revealing Henry\'s face.
 
 VOGEL
 Guten Tag, Herr Jones.
 
 Now INDY, still playing the role of Steward, asks VOGEL for his ticket.
 
 INDY
 Fahrscheine meine Herr.
 
 VOGEL
 Weg.
 
 INDY
 Tickets please.
 
 HENRY looks confused.
 
 VOGEL
 (in German)
 Was?
 
 
 
 VOGEL glances up and recognizes INDY-who quickly punches Vogel in the face,
 knocking him toward the window. In another quick move, Indy TOSSES HIM OUT
 THE WINDOW onto the tarmac below.
 
 Shocked Passengers blink in bewilderment.
 
 INDY
 (in German; with a
 shrug)
 No ticket.
 
 Everyone else with a ticket quickly produces it and waves it in Indy\'s face.
 
 
 EXT. AIRFIELD TARMAC - DAY
 
 VOGEL gets to his knees as the huge Zeppelin rises into the sky above him,
 revealing an airplane attached to the belly of the airship. Vogel shakes his fist at
 the rising Zeppelin.
 
 VOGEL
 Du wirst nochmal boren von mir!
 
 INT. ZEPPELIN - DAY
 
 INDY and HENRY together again in their compartment.
 
 HENRY
 You know, sharing your adventures
 is an interesting experience.
 
 CONTINUED:
 
 INDY
 (meaning ELSA)
 That\'s not all we shared. It\'s
 disgraceful. You\'re old enough to
 be her fa---er, her grandfather!
 
 HENRY
 Well, I\'m as human as the next
 man.
 
 INDY
 I was the next man.
 
 HENRY
 (laughs)
 Ships that pass in the night...
 
 HENRY opens his Diary and begins to thumb through it.
 
 INDY
 Do you remember the last time we
 had a quiet drink? I had a milk
 shake.
 
 HENRY
 Hmmm... What did we talk about?
 
 INDY
 We didn\'t talk. We never talked.
 
 HENRY
 And do I detect a rebuke?
 
 INDY
 A regret. It was just the two of
 us, Dad. It was a lonely way to
 grow up. For you, too. If you
 had been an ordinary, average
 father like the other guys\' dads,
 you\'d have understood that.
 
 HENRY
 Actually, I was a wonderful father.
 
 INDY
 When?
 
 
 HENRY looks up from his Diary.
 
 HENRY
 Did I ever tell you to eat up?
 Go to bed? Wash your ears? Do
 your homework? No. I respected
 your privacy and I taught you self-
 reliance.
 
 
 CONTINUED: (2)
 
 
 INDY
 What you taught me was that I was
 less important to you than people
 who had been dead for five hundred
 years in another country. And I
 learned it so well that we\'ve
 hardly spoken for twenty years.
 
 HENRY
 You left just when you were
 becoming interesting.
 
 INDY
 Dad, how can you --?
 
 HENRY
 (interrupting)
 Very well. I\'m here now.
 
 He closes the Diary and leans back in his seat.
 
 HENRY
 What do you want to talk about?
 Hmmm?
 
 INDY stutters uncomfortably as HENRY stares at him, waiting for a response.
 
 INDY
 (laughs)
 Well... I can\'t think of anything.
 
 HENRY
 Then what are you complaining
 about?
 (laughs)
 Look, we have work to do. When
 we get to Alexandretta we will
 face three challenges.
 (he reads from the
 Diary)
 \"First, the breath of God. Only
 the penitent man will pass.
 Second, the Word of God, only in
 the footsteps of God will he
 proceed. Third, the Path of God,
 only in the leap from the lion\'s
 head will he prove his worth. \"
 
 INDY
 What does that mean?
 
 HENRY
 (laughs)
 I don\'t know. We\'ll find out.
 
 
 CONTINUED: (3)
 
 
 Sunlight falls across the table from the window. INDY reaches for the drink. The
 bar of sunlight turns like the hand of a clock over the tabletop across the drinks.
 
 We see INDY puzzled. Only for a moment.
 
 INDY
 They\'re turning around. They\'re
 taking us back to Germany.
 
 
 INT. FRAMEWORK OF ZEPPELIN - DAY
 
 INDY and his father emerge from the hatchway into the belly of the Zeppelin.
 The Zeppelin\'s elaborate metal framework is exposed.
 
 INDY and HENRY hurry down the catwalk until arriving at a PAIR OF
 DOORWAYS framed into the Zeppelin\'s outer skin.
 
 INDY
 Well, I thought it would take
 them a lot longer to figure out
 the radio was dead. Come on,
 Dad. Move!
 
 Then INDY opens the doors. We see plenty of blue sky and white clouds. We also
 see a small BIPLANE that is suspended from the Zeppelin by a HOOK & CRANE
 DEVICE.
 
 INDY
 Come on, Dad. Come on!
 
 EXT. AIRPLANE - DAY
 
 INDY climbs into the cockpit of the Biplane as HENRY takes the tail gunner\'s
 seat.
 
 HENRY
 (with delight)
 I didn\'t know you could fly a
 plane.
 
 INDY
 Fly--yes. Land--no.
 
 
 INT. THE BIPLANE - DAY
 
 INDY turns in his seat to give HENRY the \"thumbs up.\" Henry smiles valiantly
 and points down to the ground.
 
 Then they both become aware of a STRANGE SOUND in the skies behind them.
 Something between a ROAR and a WAIL.
 TWO MESSERSCHMIDT FIGHTER BOMBERS
 
 streak out of the clouds and race across the sky.
 
 
 INDY AND HENRY
 
 shrink in their seats as the MESSERSCHMIDTS (going three times as fast as they
 are) SCREAM past on either side.
 
 INDY
 Dad, you\'re gonna have to use the
 machine gun. Get it ready.
 
 HENRY turns and grips the MOUNTED MACHINE GUN with a perplexed
 expression.
 
 INDY
 (turning; pointing)
 Eleven o\'clo

Eleven o\'clock!
 
 HENRY pulls out his watch.
 
 INDY
 Dad-eleven o\'clock!!
 
 HENRY
 What happens at eleven o\'clock?
 
 INDY uses his arm to demonstrate that he\'s referring to a direction and not a
 time.
 
 INDY
 (frustrated)
 Twelve-eleven-ten. Eleven
 o\'clock. Fire!
 
 HENRY does-and the EXPLODING GUN nearly shakes him out of his seat.
 
 Indy\'s slow speed and small size works to his advantage. The speeding
 Messerschmidts continually overshoot him, WHIZZING past in a blur-making
 wide turns miles away in the sky.
 
 HENRY has one of the Messerschmidts in his sight. He pulls back on the trigger
 --RATTA-A-TAT-TAT! RATTA-A-TAT-TAT!
 
 The Messerschmidt banks to the left, but HENRY keeps it in his gun sight. Henry
 swings the gun around, inadvertently CUTTING HIS OWN REAR STABILIZER IN
 HALF.
 
 INDY
 Dad, are we hit?!
 
 HENRY
 More or less.
 
 CONTINUED:
 
 
 HENRY
 Son, I\'m sorry. They got us.
 
 INDY looks back at the missing tail section, then at his father.
 
 The plane begins to go down. INDY struggles to control its descent.
 
 INDY
 Hang on, Dads We\'re going in!
 
 HENRY slumps down fearfully in his seat.
 
 
 EXT. A FIELD - DAY
 
 The wheels of the plane touch down. OUT OF CONTROL, the PLANE SKIDS and
 CRASHES first into a corral of goats and then into the farmhouse beyond sending
 a cloud of dust into the air.
 
 As INDY pulls himself from the cockpit:
 
 HENRY
 (sarcastic)
 Nice landing.
 
 INDY
 Thanks.
 
 
 Suddenly, INDY\'s attention is directed to:
 
 
 TWO SCREAMING MESSERSCHMIDTS
 
 coming in low. Guns BLAZING.
 
 As BULLETS EXPLODE around them, INDY and HENRY jump over a stone
 barricade. Henry, frightened, grabs at Indy.
 
 HENRY
 Those people are trying to kill
 us!
 
 INDY
 I know, Dadl
 
 HENRY
 It\'s a new experience for me.
 
 INDY
 It happens to me all the time.
 
 
 EXT. ROAD - DAY
 
 An OLD MAN kneels at his car repairing a rear tire.
 
 THE MAN
 
 turns to the wheel, the hubcap in his hands. Suddenly the wheel moves forward,
 startling the Old Man.
 
 
 INT. THE CAR - TRAVELING - DAY
 
 INDY has the throttle down, both hands tightly gripping the steering wheel.
 HENRY is a very nervous passenger.
 
 INDY sees a LOW-FLYING MESSERSCHMIDT coming up behind him in the SIDE
 MIRROR.
 
 As the Messerschmidt ROARS by overhead, BULLETS EXPLODE around them,
 narrowly missing the car.
 
 HENRY
 This is intolerable!
 
 INDY
 This could be close.
 
 
 EXT. THE ROAD - LONG SHOT - DAY
 
 The car races toward a TUNNEL that cuts through a steep MOUNTAINSIDE.
 
 The Messerschmidt bears down on Indy\'s car, machine guns CHATTERING.
 
 The car ENTERS the tunnel. The Messerschmidt cannot pull up in time. It
 SLAMS into the MOUTH OF THE TUNNEL, SHEARING OFF its WINGS.
 
 
 INT. THE TUNNEL - DAY
 
 The FLAMING FUSELAGE continues to ROCKET through the tunnel like a bullet
 down the muzzle of a gun. SPARKS fly as its belly SCRAPES against the
 pavement and the sides of the tunnel.
 
 
 INT. THE CAR - DAY
 
 Indy and Henry look over their shoulders to see this wingless BALL OF FIRE
 gaining on them; about to overtake them.
 
 HENRY
 Faster, boy --faster!
 
 
 EXT. THE ROAD - OTHER SIDE OF THE MOUNTAIN - DAY
 
 The car exits the tunnel at top speed and veers off the
 road. The flaming Messerschmidt fuselage shoots past and
 EXPLODES in the middle of the road.
 
 INT. THE CAR - DAY
 
 As the car emerges safely from the flames, Henry wipes the sweat from his brow.
 
 HENRY
 Well, they don\'t come any closer
 than that!
 
 HENRY looks out the windshield and sees the second Messerschmidt SCREAMING
 out of the sky toward them.
 
 
 EXT. THE ROAD - LONG SHOT - DAY
 
 The MESSERSCHMIDT drops its single UNDER-FUSELAGE BOMB. It EXPLODES in
 the road directly ahead of the car, missing it by only several feet.
 
 THE CAR
 
 FALLS INTO THE HOLE made by the bomb.
 
 DISSOLVE TO:
 
 
 EXT. ROAD - DAY
 
 INDY climbs out of the car, still in the bomb crater. He turns back to HENRY.
 
 INDY
 Dad, he\'s coming back.
 
 INDY and HENRY run down the mountainside to:
 
 
 A DESERTED MEDITERRANEAN BEACH - DAY
 
 INDY and HENRY run to the shoreline. Indy reaches for his gun, tucked in his
 pants. He opens the chamber-the GUN HAS NO BULLETS.
 
 
 THE MESSERSCHMIDT
 
 swings around and is coming in for another pass.
 
 
 INDY AND HENRY
 
 exchange a wordless glance. They don\'t even think about running: there is no
 place to run to. HENRY hands his case to INDY.
 
 Holding his umbrella, HENRY suddenly spins around and runs screaming and
 shouting into A FLOCK OF SEA GULLS...
 
 THE SEA GULLS take to the wing in flight. Thousands of them.
 
 INDY
 
 Bullets kick up sand leading up to him... then-
 
 THE MESSERSCHMIDT AND THE SEA GULLS meet in midair. MASSACRE! Sea
 gulls are shredded by the Messerschmidt\'s whirling propeller blades into a
 FEATHERY WHITE PUREE that SPLATTERS against the cockpit and CLOGS THE
 ENGINE.
 
 ENGINE SPUTTERS... STALLS... Silence. The Messerschmidt falls from the skies
 and EXPLODES in an OFF CAMERA SOUND EFFECT.
 
 INDY stands as before-stunned-a statue.
 
 HENRY walks back to INDY.
 
 HENRY
 I suddenly remembered Charlemagne.
 \"Let my armies be the rocks and the
 trees and the birds in the sky.\"
 (he chuckles)
 
 INDY wears a proud expression as he watches HENRY walk down the beach.
 
 
 EXT. MOSQUE - DAY
 
 FADE IN TITLE: \"REPUBLIC OF HATAY\"
 
 FADE OUT TITLE.
 
 
 EXT. COURTYARD OF SULTAN\'S PALACE - ISKENDERUN - DAY
 
 The SULTAN is seated in his royal chair, flanked by WALTER DONOVAN and
 VOGEL and surrounded by his minions.
 
 DONOVAN holds the missing Grail Diary pages.
 
 DONOVAN
 These pages are taken from Professor
 Jones\' diary, Your Highness. And
 they include a map that pinpoints
 the exact location of the Grail.
 
 DONOVAN and the SULTAN walk together through an archway.
 
 DONOVAN
 As you can see, the Grail is all
 but in our hands.
 (beat)
 However, Your Highness, we
 would not think of crossing your
 soil without your permission,
 nor of removing the Grail from
 your borders without suitable
 compensation.
 
 
 CONTINUED:
 
 
 SULTAN
 What have you brought?
 
 VOGEL
 Bring den Schatzl
 
 TWO NAZI SOLDIERS bring forward a HUGE STEAMER TRUNK. They open the lid
 and begin to empty it of its contents:
 
 Gold and silver objects of every description.
 
 DONOVAN
 Precious valuables, Your Highness,
 \"donated\" by some of the finest
 families in all of Germany.
 
 The SULTAN gets up from his chair and walks toward the trunk. He goes right
 past it and begins to inspect the Nazi staff car parked nearby.
 
 SULTAN
 Rolls-Royce Phantom Two. 4.3
 litre, 30 horsepower, six cylinder
 engine, with Stromberg Downdraft
 carburetor.
 
 The SULTAN points to the engine under the hood.
 
 SULTAN
 Can go from zero to 100 kilometres
 an hour in 12.5 seconds. And I
 even like the color.
 
 DONOVAN
 (after a beat)
 The keys are in the ignition,
 Your Highness.
 
 SULTAN
 You shall have camels, horses, an
 armed escort, provisions, desert
 vehicles-and tanksl
 
 DONOVAN
 You\'re welcome.
 
 Somebody else is also taking note...and we see that it is KAZIM, the spy at the
 court.
 
 ELSA is revealed coming down the stairs toward DONOVAN and VOGEL.
 
 ELSA
 We have no time to lose. Indiana
 Jones and his father have escaped.
 
 EXT. ISKENDERUN STREET - DAY
 
 SALLAH drives his car through the crowded streets, INDY beside him and HENRY
 in the back seat.
 
 SALLAH
 We go this way.
 
 SALLAH waves his arms and shouts to a CAMEL HERDER.
 
 SALLAH
 Get that camel out of the way!
 
 INDY
 What happened to Marcus, Sallah?
 
 SALLAH
 (overlapping)
 Ah, they set out across the desert
 this afternoon. I believe they
 took Mister Brody with them.
 
 HENRY removes his hat and hits INDY with it.
 
 HENRY
 Now they have the map! And in
 this sort of race, there\'s no
 silver medal for finishing second.
 
 
 EXT. DESERT VALLEY - DAY
 
 Elsa and Donovan\'s party-consisting of a SUPPLY TRUCK, OPEN CAR, TUhKISH
 SOLDIERS RIDING CAMELS, SPARE HORSES AND A TANK AND VARIOUS OTHER
 VEHICLES-all moving along through the ramble of this box canyon.
 
 ELSA, DONOVAN and VOGEL travel in the open car. The TANK is a vintage World
 War I model with enormous treads. The Turkish soldiers wear native dress and
 carry both carbines and sabers.
 
 BRODY sits alongside ELSA in the rear of the car carrying DONOVAN. Donovan
 hands a canteen back to him.
 
 DONOVAN
 Care to wet your whistle, Marcus?
 
 BRODY
 I\'d rather spit in your face.
 But as I haven\'t got any spit...
 
 VOGEL snatches the canteen away from BRODY before he can drink.
 
 VOGEL
 We must be within three or four
 miles. Otherwise we are off the
 map.
 
 
 CONTINUED:
 
 
 He hands the map to ELSA, drinks from the canteen, and hands that back to
 DONOVAN.
 
 DONOVAN
 Well, Marcus, we are on the brink
 of the recovery of the greatest
 artifact in the history of mankind.
 
 BRODY
 You\'re meddling with powers you
 cannot possibly comprehend.
 
 HENRY and SALLAH are at INDY\'s side as he views Donovan\'s party in the
 distance. Parked nearby is a CAR containing all of their supplies.
 
 INDY
 Ah, I see Brody. He seems okay.
 They\'ve got a tank. Six-pound
 gun.
 
 Then Donovan notices a reflection from the hills.
 
 What he sees is:
 
 
 THE SUN REFLECTING OFF THE LENSES OF INDY\'S BINOCULARS
 
 HENRY
 What do you think you\'re doing?!
 Get down!
 
 INDY
 Dad, we\'re well out of range.
 
 At that moment the tank FIRES A SHELL in their direction.
 
 It WHISTLES overhead and BLOWS UP THE PARKED CAR. INDY, HENRY and
 SALLAH cover their heads as automobile fragments rain down upon them.
 
 SALLAH
 That car belonged to my brother-
 in-law.
 
 INDY
 (gesturing to the
 others)
 Come on--come on!
 
 
 EXT. DESERT VALLEY - DAY
 
 VOGEL
 I can\'t see anyone up there.
 
 
 CONTINUED:
 
 DONOVAN
 Maybe it wasn\'t even Jones.
 
 ELSA
 No. It\'s him all right. He\'s
 here somewhere.
 
 DONOVAN
 (to VOGEL)
 Put Brody in the tank.
 
 KAZIM peers over a rock, pointing his rifle at the group below.
 
 DONOVAN
 (to ELSA)
 Well, in this sun, without
 transportation, they\'re as good
 as dead.
 
 BULLETS EXPLODE off the vehicles and cliff. DONOVAN and ELSA duck.
 
 A NAZI SOLDIER falls from the tank as BULLETS EXPLODE around him.
 
 KAZIM\'S MEN, BRETHREN OF THE CRUCIFORM SWORD, continue to FIRE. ELSA
 and DONOVAN take cover beside the parked car.
 
 DONOVAN
 It\'s Jones, all right.
 
 
 ANGLE ON INDY\'S GROUP
 
 INDY and HENRY, followed by SALLAH, take cover behind a rock to watch
 Kazim\'s Men and the Nazi Troops exchanging fire below them.
 
 HENRY
 Now, who are all these people?
 
 INDY
 Who cares? As long as they\'re
 keeping Donovan busy. Dad, you
 stay here while Sallah and I
 organize some transportation.
 
 CUT BACK to the action. The BRETHREN are firing at the
 DONOVAN party and are being fired on by the Donovan party.
 
 TWO NAZI SOLDIERS throw HAND GRENADES into the cliffs. They EXPLODE,
 killing one of Kazim\'s Brethren.
 
 The battle continues-a fierce exchange of GUNSHOTS, GRENADES and
 MACHINE GUN FIRE with losses on both sides.
 
 INDY AND SALLAH
 
 crouch behind a rock watching as men on both sides of the battle run amongst
 camels and horses.
 
 INDY
 I\'m going after those horses.
 
 SALLAH
 I\'ll take the camels.
 
 INDY
 I don\'t need camels.
 
 SALLAH
 But, Indy-
 
 INDY
 No camels!
 
 
 DONOVAN AND ELSA
 
 They look down at KAZIM who lies mortally wounded on the ground at their feet.
 ELSA looks saddened.
 
 DONOVAN
 (re KAZIM)
 Who is he?
 
 KAZIM
 A messenger from God. For the
 unrighteous, the Cup of Life
 holds everlasting damnation.
 
 KAZIM dies.
 
 
 INDY
 
 leaps atop a TURKISH SOLDIER on horseback, pulling the man and the horse to
 the ground. A SECOND TURK comes to assist his comrade; INDY mounts the
 horse, knocking both Turks to the ground.
 
 
 INT. THE TANK - DAY
 
 BRODY has been left alone in the tank. HENRY climbs down into the tank and
 taps Brody on the shoulder, startling him.
 
 HENRY
 Marcus!
 
 BRODY
 Arghhh! Oh!
 
 
 CONTINUED:
 
 They exchange an old University Club toast, swinging their arms at one another
 and missing. Then HENRY flaps his arms and tugs his ears.
 
 HENRY
 \"Genius of the Restoration-\"
 
 Now BRODY tugs his ears, flaps his arms and touches his head.
 
 BRODY
 \"-aid our own resuscitation!\"
 
 They exchange a handshake.
 
 BRODY
 Henryl What are you doing here?!
 
 HENRY
 It\'s a rescue, old boys Come on.
 
 
 As HENRY starts to climb out of the tank, TWO NAZI SOLDIERS DROP DOWN from
 above, their Lugers drawn. They are followed by VOGEL.
 
 VOGEL
 (re HENRY)
 Search him.
 
 The NAZI SOLDIERS point their guns at HENRY and BRODY.
 
 VOGEL
 (to HENRY)
 What is in this book? That
 miserable little Diary of yours!
 
 VOGEL removes a glove and slaps HENRY with it.
 
 VOGEL
 Here\'s the map. The book is
 useless, and yet you come all the
 way back to Berlin to get it.
 Why?
 
 He slaps HENRY again.
 
 VOGEL
 What are you hiding?
 
 Another slap.
 
 VOGEL
 What does the Diary tell you that
 it doesn\'t tell us?!
 
 VOGEL reaches out to slap HENRY yet again, but Henry grabs his arm, stopping
 him.
 
 
 CONTINUED: (2)
 
 HENRY
 It tells me that goose-stepping
 morons like yourself should try
 reading books instead of burning
 them.
 
 DONOVAN appears at the turret cover.
 
 DONOVAN
 Colonel? Jones is getting away.
 
 VOGEL
 (indicating HENRY)
 I think not, Herr Donovan.
 
 
 EXT. TANK - DAY
 
 DONOVAN
 Not that Jones-the other Jones!
 
 NAZI SOLDIER
 Herr Colonel!
 
 
 EXT. DESERT VALLEY - DAY
 
 INDY rides away on one horse, leading three others as he goes.
 
 SALLAH approaches on horseback leading five camels.
 
 INDY
 Sallah, I said no camels! That\'s
 five camels. Can\'t you Count?
 
 SALLAH
 Compensation for my brother-in-
 law\'s car. Indy, your father and
 Brody-
 
 INDY
 Where\'s my father?
 
 SALLAH
 They have them. In the belly of
 that steel beast.
 
 INDY and SALLAH charge forward leading their horses and camels.
 
 Then VOGEL commands the Tank Driver to give chase.
 
 
 INT. TANK - DAY
 
 VOGEL shouts to the Tank Driver.
 
 VOGEL
 Fire!
 
 
 EXT. DESERT VALLEY - DAY
 
 
 The tank starts firing at INDY on horseback. Indy zigs and zags as the tank fires
 two rounds at Indy, barely missing him. Each time Indy emerges from the plume
 of desert dust, hanging like a toadstool in the air.
 
 
 INT. TANK- DAY
 
 HENRY and BRODY hold their hands over their ears.
 
 
 EXT. DESERT VALLEY - DAY
 
 DONOVAN shouts orders to the Troops. INDY is followed by various vehicles in
 the caravan.
 
 INDY notices that the side gun that is now firing at him can only pivot so far.
 Indy makes a mental note of this and while riding right in front of the tank,
 turns his horse completely around, 180 degrees. The tank starts to follow.
 
 
 POV THROUGH THE VIEWING PORT
 
 VOGEL watches the ground turning 180 degrees as he tries to catch up with
 INDY.
 
 Cleverly, INDY has turned the tank directly into a head-on
 collision course with some of the pursuit vehicles and a Kubelwagon.
 
 The tank and the Kubelwagon smash into each other, the German military sedan
 becoming lodged between the treads while blocking the front view and any use of
 the six-pound cannon on the turret.
 
 INDY, meanwhile, leans down on his horse, scooping up a stone from the wall of
 a culvert. He reigns his horse, paralleling the tank, as everyone scurries about
 inside, looking through viewing ports, trying to figure out exactly where Indy is.
 
 
 INT. TANK- DAY
 
 VOGEL shouts to the Gunner.
 
 VOGEL
 Der Kubelwagon sprengen!
 
 The Gunner puts a shell into the large gun. He FIRES, CATAPULTING THE
 KUBELWAGON into the air, where it EXPLODES. The tank drives through the
 resulting smoke an dust, then rolls over the Kubelwagon, crushing it
 
 EXT. DESERT VALLEY - DAY
 
 INDY gallops up to the side cannon and jams the stone down the barrel, lodging
 several rocks inside. Then he steers his horse directly in range of that gun.
 
 
 INT. TANK - DAY
 
 A NAZI SOLDIER pushes HENRY away from the window.
 
 NAZI SOLDIER
 Keine Bewegung.
 
 He points his gun at HENRY and BRODY.
 
 NAZI SOLDIER
 Keine Bewegung.
 
 The smaller gun, blocked by the rocks, BACKFIRES, blowing the breech out into
 the face of the gunner, killing him and filling the tank with smoke.
 
 BRODY, HENRY, VOGEL and the driver begin to choke.
 
 
 EXT. DESERT VALLEY - DAY
 
 INDY rides his horse alongside the tank.
 
 INDY
 Dad! Dad! Dad!
 
 
 INT. TANK - DAY
 
 HENRY and BRODY still held at gunpoint by the NAZI SOLDIER.
 
 HENRY
 Junior? Junior? Junior!
 
 The NAZI SOLDIER swings his fist, knocking HENRY off his seat.
 
 
 EXT. DESERT VALLEY - DAY
 
 Smoke pours from the top of the tank as the turret pops open. VOGEL emerges
 and aims his gun at INDY.
 
 INDY and VOGEL EXCHANGE SHOTS as Indy chases the tank on his horse.
 
 INDY pulls the trigger again-his gun is empty! Indy immediately takes the
 high trail.
 
 Now INDY is above the tank twelve feet on a paralleling trail. He moves out of
 the saddle and leaps from the speeding horse onto the trundling tank.
 
 
 CLOSE UP - VOGEL
 
 Hate-staring at INDY
 
 CLOSE UP - INDY
 
 Hate-staring back at VOGEL.
 
 Suddenly, from nowhere a German soldier flies INTO FRAME, tackling Indy.
 
 CUT TO:
 
 SIDE ANGLE
 
 One of the two troop carriers is paralleling the tank and like pirates boarding a
 galleon, Nazi Soldiers leap over the treads and are swarming all over INDY.
 
 INDY is struggling with a German\'s Luger.
 
 INDY presses the luger against his assailant and forces the Nazi to squeeze off a
 shot into himself. The bullet not only passes through the Nazi, but passes
 through two other Nazis standing directly behind him on the crowded tank top
 and three bodies fall away, leaving Indy to stare at the gun in disbelief.
 
 Another Soldier leaps from the truck onto the tank and raises his knife as he
 grabs INDY. They struggle and fall.
 
 INDY sits up to see VOGEL standing over him. Vogel wraps a chain around Indy\'s
 neck.
 
 
 INT. TANK- DAY
 
 INDY appears at the entrance, the chain still wrapped about his neck and held by
 VOGEL.
 
 INDY
 Dad!
 
 He drops the gun down into the tank.
 
 INDY
 Dad! Dadl Get it!
 
 VOGEL pulls INDY from the tank entrance, yanking on the chain wrapped around
 his neck.
 
 
 EXT. TANK - DAY
 
 A NAZI SOLDIER approaches.
 
 INDY hits him, knocking him onto the tank tread. The Nazi Soldier screams as he
 is dragged under the rolling tank.
 
 Now INDY and VOGEL struggle with one another, the chain still wrapped around
 Indy\'s neck.
 
 
 INT. TANK- DAY
 
 THROUGH THE PERISCOPE
 
 We SEE INDY and VOGEL struggling atop the tank. Indy lifts his feet, lunging
 toward the periscope and pulling Vogel with him.
 
 INDY\'s face is pressed up against the lens of the periscope.
 
 
 INT. TANK - DAY
 
 The NAZI SOLDIER looking through the periscope pulls away from it, smiles, then
 turns back to it.
 
 
 THROUGH THE PERISCOPE
 
 INDY\'s face, still pressed against the lens.
 
 VOGEL pulls INDY from the periscope.
 
 
 INT. TANK - DAY
 
 The NAZI SOLDIER pulls away from the periscope again.
 
 PERISCOPE SOLDIER
 (laughing)
 Diese Amerikane. Sie Kampfen wie
 Weiber.
 
 EXT. TANK - DAY
 
 INDY now lies on top of VOGEL. He kicks out at the periscope which spins
 around.
 
 
 INT. TANK - DAY
 
 The periscope handle spins around and hits the PERISCOPE SOLDIER in the head.
 He falls against the NAZI SOLDIER guarding HENRY and BRODY.
 
 HENRY pushes the NAZI SOLDIER aside and grabs the gun. The PERISCOPE
 SOLDIER struggles to take the gun from Henry.
 
 
 EXT. TANK- DAY
 
 VOGEL holds the chain around INDY\'s neck, pushing his head downward toward
 the revolving tread.
 
 
 INT. TANK - DAY
 
 The PERISCOPE SOLDIER holds HENRY from behind, forcing the gun toward him.
 Henry reaches down and pulls a fountain pen from his coat pocket.
 
 
 
 CONTINUED:
 
 As the PERISCOPE SOLDIER pulls on HENRY\'s face, Henry lifts the fountain pen
 and squirts ink into his face. The Soldier falls, his head smashing into the wall of
 the tank. At the same time, Henry loses his grip on the gun which falls to the
 floor.
 
 
 BRODY
 Henry, the pen-
 
 HENRY
 What?
 
 
 BRODY
 But don\'t you see? The pen is
 mightier than the sword.
 
 
 EXT. DESERT VALLEY - DAY
 
 A troop truck pulls near the tank.
 
 
 INT. TANK- DAY
 
 HENRY fires the TANK GUN at the troop truck. SOLDIERS FLY INTO THE AIR.
 The TROOP TRUCK flips over and EXPLODES.
 
 
 EXT. TANK - DAY
 
 The EXPLOSION knocks INDY off the tank and onto the tread. He grabs onto the
 shredded gun protruding from the side of the tank.
 
 VOGEL looks down at INDY and smiles smugly.
 
 The tank is approaching a cliff wall. As INDY tries to secure footing, VOGEL
 steps on his hands.
 
 
 INT. TANK - DAY
 
 BRODY looks at HENRY.
 
 BRODY
 Look what you didl
 
 HENRY
 It\'s war.
 
 
 EXT. TANK - DAY
 
 VOGEL now swings a shovel at INDY, smashing at his hands.
 
 BRODY climbs up out of the tank, followed by HENRY.
 
 
 
 CONTINUED:
 
 HENRY
 Didn\'t I tell you it was a rescue,
 huh?
 
 A NAZI SOLDIER appears and pulls HENRY down.
 
 VOGEL raises the shovel above his head and brings it crashing down on INDY,
 still hanging from the protruding gun.
 
 INDY loses his grip and now hangs from the gun suspended only by the strap of
 his leather pouch. He screams as the gun scrapes against the cliff wall, sending
 stones tumbling down over him.
 
 
 INT. TANK - DAY
 
 The NAZI SOLDIER knocks HENRY into a pile of boxes, then punches him in the
 face.
 
 As the SOLDIER raises the gun to HENRY\'s face, BRODY hits him over the head
 with a canister. The Soldier falls, discharging the gun into the air.
 
 The BULLET RICOCHETS around the tank, past the Tank Driver who is
 manipulating levers at the control panel. SPARKS FLY; then the BULLET PINGS
 AGAINST THE WINDOW and RICOCHETS ONCE MORE, this time passing THROUGH
 THE TANK DRIVER\'S HAT. Blood flows from under the hat as the Tank Driver
 slumps forward, his body depressing the levers.
 
 
 EXT. TANK - DAY
 
 INDY still hangs from the strap of his leather pouch as the tank swerves, barely
 missing the rocks and causing VOGEL to fall. Indy finally manages to pull
 himself atop the tank once more where he punches Vogel over the side, then
 peers down to HENRY, still inside the tank.
 
 INDY
 Dad?
 
 HENRY
 You call this archaeology?
 
 INDY
 Get out of there, Dad!
 
 INDY pulls HENRY and BRODY from the tank. VOGEL pulls himself back atop the
 tank armed again with the shovel which he swings at Indy, who ducks and grabs
 Vogel\'s arm.
 
 BRODY
 How does one get off this thing?
 
 As INDY winds up to punch VOGEL he catches BRODY in the face on the
 backswing, then completes the movement and knocks Vogel down.
 
 INT. TANK - DAY
 
 Vogel\'s hat sails in and falls to the floor.
 
 
 EXT. TANK- DAY
 
 HENRY
 (to INDY)
 Where\'s Marcus?!
 
 Before INDY can answer, VOGEL is up and swinging with the shovel. Indy ducks
 but the shovel catches HENRY sending him over the side and onto the moving
 tread.
 
 INDY grabs his whip, knocking VOGEL aside.
 
 As HENRY speeds toward the front of the tank to certain doom, INDY, with
 lightning speed, whips out his bullwhip, wrapping the end of the whip around
 Henry\'s right ankle.
 
 INDY
 Dad!
 
 HENRY is bouncing across the treads like a rag-doll. INDY struggles to hold onto
 the end of the bullwhip.
 
 INDY
 Hang on, Dad!
 
 SALLAH draws his horse next to the treads. He tips his fez to HENEY.
 
 SALLAH
 Father of Indy-give me your
 hand!
 
 VOGEL now punches INDY in the back and grabs him around the neck. Still,
 INDY refuses to let go of the whip.
 
 INDY
 Sallah! Get Dadl
 
 SALLAH reaches out to HENRY.
 
 SALLAH
 Give me your hand!
 
 SALLAH manages to hold onto HENRY as he brings his horse to a stop just at the
 cliff\'s edge.
 
 INDY finally frees himself of VOGEL\'s grasp, twisting his arm painfully away
 from Indy\'s neck, then landing a hard blow to Vogel\'s head.
 
 
 INDY
 
 looks down at the fast-approaching cliff, his face filled with horror. We SEE his
 HAT BLOW OFF and sail over the cliff\'s edge.
 
 VOGEL
 
 He sees his life passing before him, he screams at the top
 of his lungs!
 
 
 LONG SHOT
 
 The tank trundles over the cliff and PLUMMETS TO THE BOTTOM.
 
 
 EXT. CLIFF EDGE - DAY
 
 HENRY, BRODY and SALLAH look down at the flaming wreckage
 of the tank.
 
 HENRY
 Junior?!
 
 We HEAR the TANK EXPLODING.
 
 SALLAH
 Indy?!
 
 
 HENRY
 Oh, God. I\'ve lost him. And I
 never told him anything. I just
 wasn\'t ready, Marcus. Five
 minutes would have been enough.
 
 And then... looking dazed and bewildered, INDY STAGGERS UP BEHIND THEM.
 He joins the others at the edge of the cliff, looking down at the wreckage below
 with a bewildered expression.
 
 Finally, Henry becomes aware of his presence.
 
 HENRY says nothing. He just looks at Indy, overcome with emotion. Finally, he
 throws his arms around him.
 
 HENRY
 I thought I\'d lost you, boy.
 
 After a moment, Indy\'s head clears. And he becomes aware of his father\'s
 embrace. Something he hasn\'t felt in a long time-if ever. And it touches him.
 He hugs his father back.
 
 INDY
 I thought you had too, sir.
 
 BRODY and SALLAH are moved by this sudden reconciliation.
 
 HENRY
 Well-well done! Come on!
 
 HENRY pats INDY on the back and Indy collapses, sitting hard on the rocky cliff
 edge.
 
 
 
 CONTINUED:
 
 Unaware, HENRY, SALLAH and BRODY start to walk away. Henry turns back to
 see INDY still sitting on the ground.
 
 HENRY
 Let\'s go then. why are you
 sitting there resting when we\'re
 so near the end? Come on-
 let\'s go!
 
 HENRY turns and walks toward the horse with BRODY and SALLAH. Suddenly
 the FEDORA, borne on the wind, BLOWS INTO SCENE and lands at INDY\'s feet.
 
 
 EXT. MOUNTAIN ROAD - DAY
 
 DONOVAN peers through binoculars to see the CANYON OF THE CRESCENT
 MOON. He lowers the binoculars and turns to ELSA.
 
 DONOVAN
 The Canyon of the Crescent Moon.
 
 Now ELSA peers through the binoculars.
 
 
 EXT. SECRET CANYON - DAY
 
 INDY, HENRY, SALLAH and BRODY ride into the canyon. They hear a WAILING
 WIND. Feel the biting cold. And sense the danger.
 
 Now we turn a corner and they see the hidden city. Its spectacular Grecian
 facade is carved directly into the rock. It is a stunning sight. The vehicles,
 camels and horses belonging to DONOVAN\'s party have been left at the entrance.
 
 CUT TO:
 
 
 INT. TEMPLE - DAY
 
 INDY, SALLAH, HENRY AND BRODY creep forward to see:
 
 THE TERRIFIED FACE OF A TURKISH SOLDIER
 
 He\'s walking slowly. Eyes darting. Muttering a prayer under his breath.
 What\'s going on here?
 
 
 FULL SHOT - INSIDE THE MOUNTAIN TEMPLE
 
 THE TURK stands alone in the center of the Temple. It is very dark. GIANT
 COLUMNS define the Temple\'s perimeter.
 
 ELSA AND DONOVAN
 
 watch him from a safe distance.
 
 THE TURK
 
 is about to approach the spot where a TURKISH SOLDIER LIES DEAD. We don\'t
 notice it right away, but the dead soldier has been DECAPITATED.
 
 THE TURK stops-only one step away from the beheaded soldier.
 
 
 THE TURK
 
 takes one more step-a fatal step, it turns out. We hear a ROAR-A WHOOSH
 of air-but we SEE NOTHING-except THE TURK\'S HEAD FLY OFF AND
 BOUNCE across the ground.
 
 
 INDY, HENRY, BRODY AND SALLAH
 
 react to the sight.
 
 
 ELSA AND DONOVAN
 
 She looks at him, horrified.
 
 
 DONOVAN
 Helmut, another volunteer!
 
 TWO NAZI SOLDIERS force another Turk forward. Suddenly...
 
 
 The SOUND OF RIFLE BOLTS being cocked. Everyone turns to discover INDY and
 his party surrounded by NAZI SOLDIERS. Indy\'s group are relieved of their guns.
 
 
 FULL SHOT - THE TEMPLE
 
 INDY, HENRY, BRODY and SALLAH are brought forward by the Nazi Soldiers.
 
 
 ELSA\'s eyes light up: glad Indy\'s not dead. she controls herself and continues
 more coldly.
 
 ELSA
 (to INDY)
 I never expected to see you again.
 
 INDY
 I\'m like a bad penny. I always
 turn up.
 
 DONOVAN
 Step back now, Doctor Schneider.
 Give Doctor Jones some room. He\'s
 going to recover the Grail for us.
 
 
 
 CONTINUED:
 
 INDY laughs.
 
 DONOVAN
 Impossible? What do you say,
 Jones? Ready to go down in
 history?
 
 INDY
 As what? A Nazi stooge like you?
 
 DONOVAN
 (scornfully)
 Nazis?!-Is that the limit of
 your vision?! The Nazis want to
 write themselves into the Grail
 legend and take on the world.
 Well, they\'re welcome. But I want
 the Grail itself. The cup that
 gives everlasting life.
 Hitler can have the world, but
 he can\'t take it with him. I\'m
 going to be drinking my own health
 when he\'s gone the way of the
 Dodo.
 (he draws his
 pistol)
 The Grail is mine, and you\'re
 going to get it for me.
 
 INDY
 Shooting me won\'t get you anywhere.
 
 DONOVAN
 You know something, Doctor Jones?...
 you\'re absolutely right.
 
 Then DONOVAN shifts his aim, just a bit, and SHOOTS HENRY. The bullet enters
 his side below the ribs.
 
 INDY
 Dad?!
 
 HENRY
 Junior. . .
 
 ELSA
 No!!
 
 DONOVAN
 ( to ELSA)
 Get back!
 
 HENRY collapses. Blood flowing from the wound. BRODY and SALLAH rush to
 his assistance.
 
 
 
 CONTINUED: (2)
 
 
 INDY spins toward DONOVAN with murder in his eyes.
 
 DONOVAN points the gun at him:
 
 DONOVAN
 You can\'t save him when you\'re
 dead.
 
 INDY hesitates.
 
 DONOVAN
 The healing power of the Grail is
 the only thing that can save your
 father now. It\'s time to ask yourself
 what you believe.
 
 INDY takes in the situation. The two decapitated men lie a few yards in front of
 him. He walks to the entranceway, flanked by two stone lions. We get silent
 reaction shots-ELSA-SALLAH-BRODY-DONOVAN-registering their
 different emotions
 
 INDY proceeds forward. His hands open the Grail Diary.
 
 INDY
 \"The Breath of God... Only the
 penitent man will pass. Only
 the penitent man will pass. . . \"
 
 INDY takes a few steps forward.
 
 INDY
 \"The penitent man will pass.
 The penitent man...\"
 
 INDY stops. He is about to reach the spot where two men have just died.
 
 HENRY looks at INDY. Indy looks at Henry.
 
 HENRY
 (in a raspy voice)
 \"Only the penitent man will pass.
 Only the penitent man will pass.\"
 
 INDY
 (quietly to himself)
 The penitent man will pass. The
 penitent... the penitent. The
 penitent man...
 
 HENRY
 The penitent man. The penitent...
 
 INDY takes a step forward through the cobwebs.
 
 
 
 CONTINUED: (3)
 
 
 INDY
 The penitent man is humble before
 God.
 
 HENRY
 Penitent. Penitent...
 
 INDY
 The penitent man is humble...
 
 The cobwebs begin to move....
 
 INDY
 He kneels before God.
 (to himself; suddenly)
 Kneel!!
 
 We hear the awful rush of air-WHOOSH! Because INDY is in the act of
 kneeling, only his hat is knocked off and his hair flies in his face.
 
 Instinctively he ROLLS FORWARD on the ground out of harm\'s way and looks up.
 From his new position he is able to see what is causing all the trouble: A RAZOR
 SHARP TRIPLE PENDULUM.
 
 INDY gets cautiously to his feet. Now he sees the pendulum has been guarding a
 SMALL CORRIDOR which turns a corner to the left fifty yards ahead. Wooden
 wheels turn-the mechanism controlling the spinning blades. INDY loops a rope
 around the wheels, jamming the mechanism and stopping the blades in mid-swipe.
 
 INDY
 I\'m through!
 
 
 ELSA AND DONOVAN
 
 DONOVAN
 We\'re through!
 
 BRODY and SALLAH smile, relieved.
 
 SALLAH
 (to HENRY)
 He\'s all right.
 
 HENRY shakes his head.
 
 HENRY
 No.
 
 BACK TO INDY
 
 holding the Grail Diary, reading once again, his fedora now covered in cobwebs.
 
 
 INDY
 \"The second challenge is the
 Word of God. Only in the
 footsteps of God will he proceed.\"
 (to himself)
 The Word of God... The Word of...
 
 
 INDY pulls away some cobwebs to reveal a cobblestone path. Each cobble is
 engraved with a letter.
 
 INDY
 \"Proceed in the footsteps of the
 Word.\"
 
 
 
 HENRY
 
 lifts his head painfully.
 
 
 HENRY
 The Word of God...
 
 
 
 BRODY
 No, Henry. Try not to talk.
 
 
 HENRY
 The Name of God...
 
 BACK TO INDY
 
 as he studies the cobblestones before him.
 
 
 INDY
 The Name of God... Jehovahl
 
 
 
 HENRY
 
 still lies in SALLAH\'s arms. BRODY leans over him.
 
 
 HENRY
 But in the Latin alphabet,
 \"Jehovah\" begins with an \"I.\"
 
 
 BACK TO INDY
 
 
 INDY
 \"J.\"
 
 INDY takes a step and immediately a stone breaks away and INDY falls up to his
 hip -- his leg stuck through the hold where the stone once was.
 
 HENRY
 
 reacts.
 
 
 HENRY
 Oh dear!
 
 BACK TO INDY
 
 who grunts as he pulls himself from the hole, the v-rail Diary in his hand.
 
 INDY
 In Latin, \"Jehovah\" starts with
 an \"I.\" \"I\"...
 
 Now we SEE each letter on the stones as INDY carefully walks forward.
 DONOVAN and ELSA follow in his footsteps.
 
 INDY
 \"E\"... \"H\"... \"O\"... \"V\"... \"A\"...
 
 
 INDY sighs with relief and steps forward to:
 
 
 THE GREAT ABYSS
 
 INDY stands in a small opening, just small enough for his shoulders to squeeze
 through and beyond that a 100 foot drop to the rocks below and 100 feet across,
 nothing but a rough, stony cliff wall.
 
 
 BACK TO INDY
 
 He can see nowhere to cross. He looks again to the v-rail Diary.
 
 INDY
 
 \"The path of flood. Only in the
 leap from the lion\'s head will
 he prove his worth.\"
 
 INDY looks around and then he notices that inscribed into
 the rock above his head is the head of a lion.
 
 INDY
 Impossiblel Nobody can jump this!
 
 INDY looks down into the Diary and tortures over what it
 is asking him to do.
 
 
 BRODY
 
 rushes forward and calls to INDY.
 
 BRODY
 Indy... Indy, you must hurry!!
 Come quickly!
 
 BACK TO INDY
 
 INDY
 (realizing)
 It\'s... a leap of faith. Oh,
 God.
 
 HENRY
 
 calls to his son.
 
 
 HENRY
 You must believe, boy. you must...
 believe.
 
 We see him do it. We see him leap into space. We see that he is in midair. We
 see that he is not going to make it. His hands claw for the opposite wall but he is
 going to fall 100 feet to his death. And then-he doesn\'t! He appears to be held
 up by thin air as he lands on his hands and knees.
 
 INDY looks around and down and now he figures it out.
 
 Ingeniously, the First Crusaders have painted a pathway to align with the rocks
 100 feet below. It is a perfect forced perspective image of the rocks below with
 lines from a hundred feet continuing six feet below his sight line where his feet
 are stepping.
 
 It\'s painted to blend in with the rocks below. Highly evolved camouflage... in
 perfect alignment with everything we see below.
 
 When INDY leans out to the left or right... that\'s when he sees the perfect
 alignment shift that betrays the trick. Indy throws some dirt on the bridge and
 he crosses it like the first Crusader from the painting over Henry\'s desk.
 
 Indy crawls through a small opening in the side of the cliff and enters a Temple.
 
 A vast array of chalices is displayed on the altar of this small Temple. Perhaps a
 hundred or more. Many sizes, many shapes, some gold, some silver, but they all
 glitter and shine.
 
 INDY is mesmerized by their number and their beauty. And then he realizes that
 a man is praying at the altarl
 
 He has his back turned to INDY... but he is dressed as what he is! A GRAIL
 KNIGHT.
 
 
 CLOSE ON THE GRAIL KNIGHT
 
 But we can\'t see the Grail Knight\'s face. The visor of his helmet is down.
 Perhaps we see his eyes.
 
 
 
 CONTINUED:
 
 When the GRAIL KNIGHT sees INDY he gets wearily to his feet and, surprisingly,
 prepares to give combat...taking up his two-handed broadsword...he comes at
 Indy, attempting to swing the huge, heavy sword but finding the effort almost too
 much. Indy dodges two or three clumsy swings of the sword, making no attempt
 to fight back...until the Knight, exhausted, drops the sword and collapses. Indy
 approaches him and raises the visor and we see that the Knight is a very ancient
 man.
 
 KNIGHT
 I knew you\'d come, but my strength
 has left me.
 
 INDY
 Who are you?
 
 KNIGHT
 The last of three brothers who
 swore an oath to find the Grail
 and to guard it.
 
 INDY
 That was seven hundred years ago.
 
 KNIGHT
 A long time to wait.
 
 The GRAIL KNIGHT reaches forward and fingers Indy\'s clothing.
 
 KNIGHT
 You\'re strangely dressed...for a
 knight.
 
 INDY
 I\'m not exactly...a knight. What
 do you mean?
 
 KNIGHT
 I was chosen because I was the
 bravest and the most worthy. The
 honor was mine until another came
 to challenge me to single combat.
 I pass it to you who vanquished me.
 
 The GRAIL KNIGHT holds his sword out to INDY.
 
 INDY
 (gulp)
 Listen, I don\'t have time to
 explain, but-
 
 At that moment DONOVAN and ELSA appear. Donovan turns to face the display
 of cups.
 
 DONOVAN
 Which one is it?
 
 
 
 CONTINUED: (2)
 
 KNIGHT
 You must choose.
 (beat)
 But choose wisely. For as the
 True Grail will bring you life-
 the False Grail will take it from
 you.
 
 DONOVAN
 I\'m not a historian. I have no
 idea what it looks like. Which
 one is it?
 
 ELSA
 Let me choose.
 
 DONOVAN
 Thank you, Doctor.
 
 ELSA and INDY exchange looks. He thinks he is seeing her in her true colors.
 
 ELSA chooses a cup-a solid gold, emerald encrusted goblet.
 
 DONOVAN instantly takes it from her.
 
 DONOVAN
 Oh, yes. It\'s more beautiful than
 I\'d ever imagined. This certainly
 is the cup of the King of Kings.
 
 DONOVAN rushes to the well and fills the goblet with water.
 
 DONOVAN
 Eternal life!
 
 DONOVAN drinks from the goblet.
 
 Then, DONOVAN\'S entire body starts to convulse. His face contorts in agony. He
 grabs his stomach and turns toward ELSA.
 
 DONOVAN
 What . . . is . . . happening. . . to . . .
 me. . .?
 
 He starts to age-fast! His hair grows long and gray and brittle. His face sinks.
 Fingernails curl back on themselves. Milky cataracts coat his eyes.
 
 ELSA gasps and screams.
 
 DONOVAN
 What. . . is . . . happening. . . ?
 
 His skin turns brown and leathery and stretches across his bones until it splits.
 His skeletal hands reach for ELSA\'s throat, choking her.
 
 
 
 CONTINUED: (3)
 
 INDY rushes forward and pushes DONOVAN away. As he falls he BODY BREAKS
 INTO FLAMES, then SHATTERS AGAINST THE WALL.
 
 KNIGHT
 He chose...poorly.
 
 INDY studies the array of chalices.
 
 
 ELSA
 It would not be made out of gold.
 
 INDY picks up another cup-a simple earthenware jug.
 
 INDY
 That\'s the cup of a carpenter.
 
 He and ELSA exchange a look.
 
 INDY
 There\'s only one way to find out.
 
 INDY goes to the well and fills the earthenware jug with water, then pauses.
 INDY brings the jug to his lips and takes several large swallows.
 
 A strange sensation overcomes him, a feeling of peace and contentment...and we
 see his wounds begin to heal.
 
 KNIGHT
 You have chosen wisely. But the
 Grail cannot pass beyond the
 Great Seal. That is the boundary
 and the price of immortality.
 
 
 CUT TO BRODY AND SALLAH who attend to Henry awaiting Indy\'s return.
 
 INDY and ELSA come forward with the Grail.
 
 The TWO NAZI SOLDIERS are over-awed by the possessors of the Grail. They put
 down their guns and kneel.
 
 INDY kneels by HENRY\'s side and tilts his head forward and holds the Grail to
 his lips.
 
 HENRY is too weak to even open his eyes.
 
 HENRY swallows some of the water. Much of it runs down the corners of his
 mouth. Finally INDY pours the water over the wound and everyone watches in
 astonishment as the wound and the blood stain disappear before their eyes. The
 color returns to Henry\'s face.
 
 HENRY\'s eyes open. The first thing he sees is the Grail and they light up. Then
 they shift to INDY\'s face-and they light up even more...
 
 NAZI SOLDIERS
 
 run forward. SALLAH points a rifle at them.
 
 SALLAH
 Drop your guns. Please.
 
 The NAZI SOLDIERS drop their weapons at their feet and raise their arms in
 surrender.
 
 INDY
 (to HENRY)
 Dad, come on. Get to your feet.
 
 ELSA
 
 steps forward and picks up the Grail. She turns to INDY, her face alight with
 possession of the Grail.
 
 ELSA
 We have got it. Come on.
 
 ELSA steps onto the edge of the Great Seal.
 
 INDY
 Elsa! Elsa, don\'t movel
 
 ELSA
 It\'s ours, Indy. Yours and mine.
 
 INDY
 Elsa, don\'t cross the Seal. The
 Knight warned us not to take the
 Grail from here.
 
 A RUMBLING SOUND IS HEARD and the ground roars and shifts. Dirt falls from
 the ceiling of the cavern. ELSA falls on the Great Seal. The Grail bounces away
 from her grasp. She reaches for it and the ground beneath her begins to SPLIT
 OPEN. ELSA slips into the crevasse. She screams.
 
 ELSA is hanging perilously in the abyss, with the Grail almost within her reach.
 As her hands lose their grip, INDY just manages to one of them, he himself
 sliding forward across the slanted floor.
 
 HENRY
 Junior! Junior!
 
 With her free hand, ELSA is trying to get the Grail. INDY can\'t save her unless
 she gives him her free hand. She has to choose.
 
 INDY
 Elsa. Elsa don\'t. Elsa. Elsa.
 Give me your other hand,
 honey. I can\'t hold you.
 
 
 
 CONTINUED:
 
 ELSA
 I can reach it. I can reach it...
 
 Her hand begins to slip from Indy\'s grasp.
 
 INDY
 Elsa! Give me your hand. Give
 me your other hand!
 
 ELSA just manages to touch the Grail. In doing so, she has tipped the balance too
 far-INDY slides down another yard, Elsa loses her grip and falls screaming to
 her death.
 
 INDY
 (horrified)
 Elsa!!
 
 Now the ledge INDY lies upon begins to break apart. HENRY grabs one of his
 hands as Indy struggles to reach the Grail with the other.
 
 HENRY
 Junior, give me your other hand!
 I can\'t hold on!!
 
 INDY
 I can get it-I can almost
 reach it, Dad.
 
 INDY looks down into the black bottomless pit beneath him from which nothing
 can ever be retrieved.
 
 HENRY
 Indiana. Indiana!!
 
 INDY snaps his look up to his father. His father has never called him this before.
 
 
 HENRY
 (very calmly)
 ... let it go...
 
 
 INDY abandons the Grail and grabs onto HENRY with both hands.
 HENRY pulls him up to safety.
 
 
 THE GRAIL KNIGHT
 
 looks through the falling debris to INDY and HENRY. SALLAH and BRODY rush
 from the crumbling Temple.
 
 INDY
 Dad. . .
 
 The GRAIL KNIGHT raises his arm to HENRY.
 
 
 CONTINUED:
 
 
 INDY
 Please, Dad...
 
 INDY and HENRY down the passageway just as a huge stone column tumbles
 down upon the spot where they stood. The GRAIL KNIGHT lowers his arm as he
 watches them leave.
 
 
 EXT. ENTRANCE TO MOUNTAIN TEMPLE - AFTERNOON
 
 INDY, HENRY, SALLAH and BRODY emerge from the Mountain Temple through
 the Grecian Facade.
 
 From within the Mountain Temple, the ROAR OF WALLS CAVING IN IS HEARD. A
 cloud of dust and smoke billows out from the entrance.
 
 HENRY turns to INDY.
 
 HENRY
 Elsa never really believed in the
 Grail. She thought she\'d found a
 prize.
 
 INDY
 What did vou find, Dad?
 
 HENRY
 Me?... Illumination.
 
 HENRY and INDY mount their horses. Henry turns back to his son.
 
 HENRY
 What did you find, Junior?
 
 INDY
 Junior?! Dad...
 
 
 SALLAH
 Please...What does it always
 mean, this...this \"Junior?\"
 
 HENRY
 That\'s his name. Henry Jones,
 Junior.
 
 INDY
 I like Indiana.
 
 HENRY
 We named the dog Indiana.
 
 BRODY
 May we go home now, please?
 
 
 
 CONTINUED:
 
 
 SALLAH
 (to INDY)
 The dog!?
 (laughs)
 You are named after the dog...
 
 INDY
 (embarrassed)
 I\'ve got a lot of fond memories
 of that dog.
 
 A moment passes as they all ready their mounts and SALLAH continues to laugh
 at INDY.
 
 INDY
 Ready?
 
 HENRY
 Ready.
 
 BRODY
 Indy! Henryl Follow met I know
 the way!
 (to his horse)
 Haaa!
 
 HENRY
 (to INDY)
 Got lost in his own museum, huh?
 
 INDY
 Uh-huh.
 
 
 HENRY
 After you, Junior.
 
 INDY
 Yes, sir!
 (to his horse)
 Haaa!
 
 
 EXT. THE SECRET CANYON - AFTERNOON
 
 They THUNDER through the canyon-whose towering walls threaten to collapse
 upon them.
 
 
 EXT. ENTRANCE TO CANYON - SUNSET
 
 as BRODY, INDY, HENRY AND SALLAH ride from the canyon toward the SETTING
 SUN.

COPIONE ORIGINALE DI INDIANA JONES E L\'ULTIMA CROCIATA
