Indy and Harold are forced off the boat to the backseat of Cullam's car. Cullam and Abigail head down the river as Harold, Indy, and two of Cullam's men are driving down the road. Indy and Harold talk about what to do very quietly as not to be heard by the men up front.
Harold: I'm so angry now I could do something I may live to regret!
Indy: Do you have your knife on you?
Harold: Yes and I'm about to wave in Cullam Alexander's monstrous face with an unbridled anger. And then spit in it!
Indy: Save that for later. Right now I need it. Can you reach it?
Harold: Yes I think so. I don't know what good it will do against their pistols.
Indy: Trust me. When I cut us free act like your hands are still tied.
Indy gets the knife from Harold and cuts the rope off his hands and then off of Harold's. Both of them keep their hands behind their back the whole time. Indy starts to talk to the thug in the passenger seat.
Indy: Hey! Do you have a cigarette?
Thug # 2: Sure. Any man is entitled to one last request before they die.
The thug holds the cigarette out and Indy grabs it with his mouth. Indy slides the dynamite he took from the boat out from his jacket sleeve, and puts it in his hand which is still behind his back.
Indy: I'd appreciate a light to.
Thug #2: Of course.
Thug #2 holds out his lighter and ignites it. With Indy's hands now free, he grabs the man's arm that is holding the lighter with one hand and puts the stick of dynamite up to the flame with the other hand lighting the fuse.
Thug # 2: Hey what are you doing?! Stop the car! Stop the car!
The car stops suddenly and the two men jump out.
Indy: Now Harold!
Indy and Harold jump out to. Indy punches down Thug #2 and Harold knocks out Thug # 1. Indy sees the sand pit up ahead and throws the dynamite in. It sinks and blows some sand in the air. Indy gets in the driver's side and Harold gets in the passenger side and they take off down the road just as the other men get up and run after the car as it speeds off leaving them behind.
Indy: Good hit Harold!
Harold: What's your plan Indy?
Indy: I've been studying the local map. This road should run alongside the river for a few miles. That boat should be just ahead.
Harold: Than what?
Indy: We find a way to get Abby and the ring off the boat.
Back where Cullam's thugs where, they see a log truck coming at them. The men flag it down and as soon as the driver stops, one of the men pulls his gun and forces him out.
Thug #1: Get out!
The two men get in the truck and speed down the road after the car that Indy is driving. Meanwhile on the boat Cullam is relaxed thinking that Indy and Harold are dead.
Cullam: (to Abby) In just minutes We'll be airborne on a course to London.
Abby: I hope you swallow your cigar and choke!
Just than Cullam sees his car coming up fast.
Cullam: What are my men doing?
Cullam and Abby look closer at the car and realize who is in it.
Cullam: Those aren't my men!
Abby: It's Harold and Indiana!
Cullam: (shouting and waving his fist angrily at the car) Jones!
Indy drives up fast so he can get near the boat.
Abby: (yelling to Indy). Indiana!
Indy: Hold on!
Cullam shouts an order to the henchmen that are on board.
Cullam: Shoot them.
The men line up against the rail and began firing.
Harold: Careful Indy they're shooting at us.
Indy: I have eyes! See if you can find something useful.
Harold: Right!
Harold looks in the back seat for anything he can find. As he looks, he sees a log truck coming at them fast from behind.
Harold: Indy! There's a big truck coming.
Indy: They can go around.
Thug # 1 who is driving the log truck steps on the gas pedal causing the truck to accelerate at a dangerous speed for such a big vehicle.
Harold: I don't think they want to!
Indy sees the truck getting closer to them in the rearview mirror and it looks like it's about to ram them.
Indy: Hold on!
Indy goes off road and the log truck passes them. Indy drives back on the road now behind the log truck. Indy drives to the left side and the truck swerves left. He drives to the right to pass it but the truck swerves right not letting him go.
Indy: (to Harold) I can't get around. Get ready to drive I'm getting on that thing.
Harold: You'll be killed!
Indy: It's our only way on.
Indy pulls up to the right side of the log truck where many large logs are sticking out. He opens the door and gets ready to grab onto one of the logs.
Indy: Take the wheel and get ready to switch with me.
Indy carefully grabs one of the logs and starts to climb to the top of the truck. Thug # 2 who is the passenger grabs an ax that was in the truck's cab, opens his door, and starts to climb out to the logs. Indy and thug #2 meet about in the middle of the logs. Thug # 2 seems to be twice as big as Indy. He swings his ax at Indy a few times but Indy ducks and dodges missing each swing by inches. Indy counters with a couple jabs to the face but doesn't seem to faze him much. Thug # 2 lifts up his ax for a chop but Indy spears him causing him to drop the ax. Indy and the man swap a few punches causing Indy to take a few steps backwards close to the back edge of the truck. Thug # 2 continues to hit Indy with a series of blows and gets Indy stunned a bit. Harold drives as close to the back as he can. Thug #2 hits Indy hard in the face and he falls back onto the hood of Harold's car.
Harold: Indy are you O.K.?
Indy: Keep the car steady Ox!
Thug #2 goes back and gets the ax and starts chopping a log off.
Indy: Put some space between us. We don't want those logs to hit the car!
Harold slows down some and takes the car a few yards away from the truck. Thug #2 chops the first log off and it hits the road. Harold swerves to avoid the log coming straight for them.
Indy: Watch it Harold!
Thug #2 starts chopping another one off.
Indy: Here comes another one!
Harold barley misses the second log. Thug #2 starts to chop another one.
Indy: I have to get on there and stop this.
Harold: Hold on I'm going to get really close.
Thug #2 only needs to chop the log a few more times before it will fall and crush the car. Harold drives up really close. Indy stands up and gets ready to climb on.
Harold: Careful Indy!
The truck swerves a bit and causes Harold to swerve. Indy falls back down on the hood. Thug #2 lifts up his ax and prepares to give the log the last few chops it needs to fall, when just than a large branch hits him from behind and knocks him out. Indy starts to climb with his belly against the log that is mostly cut. All of a sudden the log starts to fall due to the chops it took. The end of the log falls on the hood with Indy wrapped around the top part of the log. The driver of the car swerves again and the log rolls off the hood turning Indy as well. The end of the log drags in the dirt with Indy now clutching the bottom part of the log.
Harold: Indy! Hold on!
Harold drives up alongside the dragging log and opens his door. Thug #2 gets back up and grabs his axe and begins to chop the log that Indy is on.
Harold: Grab my hand Indy!
Indy and Harold reach for each other but they are too far apart.
Indy: You'll have to get closer!
Meanwhile Thug #2 is nearly done chopping the log off. Harold tries to reach for Indy again but still can't get him. Harold drives as close as he can and reaches for Indy one more time. Indy is able to grab Harold's arm and Harold pulls him to the open car door. Indy grabs the car door just as the log falls off.
Indy pulls out his whip and climbs again on the truck. Thug #2 moves closer to Indy very carefully and lifts up his ax. Indy quickly wraps around the handle of the ax with his whip and yanks it out of thug #2's hands. Meanwhile just a few yards ahead, Cullam sees the two men fighting on the log truck. He goes to the shark harpoon and aims it at the truck.
Abby: (yelling at Indy) Indy look out!
Indy: I have a bad feeling about this!
Cullam fires the harpoon goes right towards the cab. Thug # 1 screams just as the harpoon crashes through the driver side window. Thug # 1 is killed and the harpoon goes out the other end of the truck's cab. The truck gets snagged by the harpoon and rolls on its left side causing Indy, thug #2 and the logs to all spill out in the river. The boat gets jarred pretty well to. Harold slams on his breaks to avoid hitting the wreck but is coming to it quickly.
Harold: Must go slower. Must go slower. Stop! Stop! Stop! Stop! Stop!
Harold stops just before the wreck but looks out his windshield and sees a log standing upright vertically that had landed that way by chance because of the way the truck flipped. The vertical log starts to fall down right towards the car. Harold jumps out right as the log smashes the car right in the middle. The boat heads further down the river while Indy and thug #2 get on top of the floating logs that are moving downstream. Indy and thug #2 start to grapple each other while balancing on the logs when one of Cullam's men get a machine gun and aims it at Indy. Indy and thug #2 see that they are both about to get shot so they start hopping from log to log while Cullum's henchmen opens fire on Indy. Indy and thug #2 run on the logs while dodging bullets and swim for shore. Just a few yards from the river bank is set of railroad tracks and a crane. Once on land Indy ducks behind some logs that fell in the road. Thug #2 runs for cover by the crane. Once the boat is out of gunfire range, Indy goes to check on Harold.
Indy: Harold are you O.K.?
Harold: We have to get Abby!
Indy: We have to hurry, their getting away.
Indy and Harold start to run down the road when the crane comes to life being operated by thug #2.
Harold: The crane Henry!
Inside the huge jaws of the crane is a bunch of rubble.
Thug #2 dumps the debris right over Indy and Harold.
Indy: Watch it!
Harold and Indy dive in opposite directions. Some of the rocks and a bunch of dirt falls on Harold and covers his legs. Harold screams in pain. Indy dodges most of the hard debris but gets a lot of dirt on him. Thug #2 comes out of the operating box and pulls Indy up just to knock him right back down. Indy gets up but the guy hits Indy in the back repeatedly. Indy falls to the ground and gets out the knife Harold gave him from before. He stabs thug #2 in the foot causing him to yell and kick Indy in the head. Harold starts to remove some of the heavy wood and iron pieces that cover his leg. Meanwhile thug #2 picks up a dazed Indy and puts him inside the jaw of the crane. He goes to the controls and closes the jaw trapping Indy inside and controls the crane to dip a helpless Indy in the river. Thug #2 starts laughing as Indy is submerged under water trapped in the cranes jaw. Just than thug #2 gets hit over the head with a piece of wood by Harold. Harold pulls the lever that moves the crane up and brings the crane out of the water.
Harold: I'm getting you out Indy. Hold on.
Indy: Ox behind you!
Thug #2 gets back up and throws Harold to the ground. Harold grabs his leg in pain. Just than a train whistle starts blowing. Thug #2 moves the jaw of the crane with Indy still trapped right over the railroad tracks.
Indy: Get up Harold!
Harold forces himself up. Thug #2 puts up his fists up.
Thug #2: Go on little man! Hit me! Hit me!
Harold hits him as hard as he can but it doesn't seem to have any effect
Thug #2 hits Harold in the face knocking him down. The train whistle is growing louder as Harold gets back up.
Indy: Harold!
Harold: What?
Indy: (in French) bring him this way!
Harold: Why are you speaking French?
Thug #2 hits Harold again but doesn't knock him down. The train starts coming into view and Indy gets a look of panic over his face.
Indy: There's a train coming Harold! Now listen! (in French) bring him close to me and I'll grab him!
Harold: Oh! (to thug #2) Come on and hit me you pansy!
Indy: Hurry Ox!
Thug #2 swings at Harold several times but he dodges the blows as he backs up closer and closer to the jaw of the crane. Finally thug #2 is close enough and Indy reaches out from the jaws teeth and grabs him. As thug #2 is struggling to get free from Indy, he notices the man has a gun on him. Indy grabs the gun but in the struggle it falls to the ground.
Indy: Harold use his gun!
Harold picks up the gun off the ground and instead of shooting the guy he just whacks him on the head and thug # 2 falls on the train tracks.
Indy: Hurry Ox! Get the controls!
Harold limps as fast as he can to the controls as the train is getting closer and closer. Indy takes the man's head and rams it back against the jaw of the crane repeatedly until the man falls down on the tracks.
Indy: Hurry Harold hurry!
The train is getting very close when Harold gets to the control box. Thug # 2 sits up on the tracks just as Harold moves the Indy away from the tracks. Just as thug #2 sits up and Indy is being moved away from the tracks thug #2 screams and less than a second later the train runs over him, smashing him to death. Harold opens the jaw of the crane with the controls and Indy stumbles out.
Harold: Indy! Thank God I was able to save you in time. I still don't know why you spoke French to me.
Indy: I didn't want Cullams man to know I was going to grab him.
Harold: Cullam! We still have to get Abby!
Cut to:
Ext. Outside Cullam's Airplane-day
Shot of Cullam taking Abby by force on the plane. He turns to his pilot.
Cullam: Take off.
Pilot: Yes sir!
Cut to:
Ext. area near crane-day
Indy and Harold are running down the road when they hear the sound over head of a plane. Harold sees the plane.
Harold: Oh my goodness! That's Cullam's private plane. We're too late.
Indy: No! We're going to take the first flight we can, go directly to London, and then were going to save Abigail.
Harold: Getting her out of the guild's lodge won't be easy.
Indy: That's why I need you to tell me everything you know.
