INT. DINING ROOM OF HOTEL
ROB, INDY and HENRY all stand at the entranceway to the dining room, dressed smartly. INDY looks around for BROWAN and spots him at a table, waving him over. INDY taps ROB on the shoulder, who is turned around. He points for both ROB and HENRY and they all walk over to the table. As they sit down
ROB: You ladies look simply ravishing.
He takes each of their hands in turn and kisses them lightly on the back. INDY removes his fedora.
INDY: Sit down Rob.
ROB: I'm sorry, I didn't mean to leave you out.
He takes INDY'S hand and bends to kiss it but INDY pulls it away. Everyone laughs.
INDY: Ok Casanova, take a seat.
ROB smiles and winks.
INDY (turns to BROWAN): So, where are we exactly? I don't recognize anything here.
BROWAN: I have to admit I'm not too familiar with this place either. All I can tell you is we're at the first place on the map. It used to be called
Gratanian. In fact, I'd like to speak to you about the map. I'm having a little trouble.
INDY: May I see it?
BROWAN: Of course.
Reaches into a bag he has slung over the chair and pulls out a scroll. He unravels it and flattens it out on the table.
BROWAN: Here is where we are. Then the picture here (points) of the black bear on the tree, I believe that represents Black Bear Woods. It's near the border
of these two countries, sort of a divider. The dragonhead here (points) should be some sort of cave that's supposed to lead into the next country. But after
that I have no idea.
TREFLER (frowns): This could be a drag. And even if we do figure out the clues, this map is centuries old. How can we be sure the landmarks are still
standing today?
HENRY: I wouldn't be surprised if nothings changed.
LOCKHEART: But what if Mary's right? What if the landmarks aren't standing? How will we know where we are or where we're going?
ROB: A little investigating and research never hurt anyone.
BROWAN: So, where do we begin? How do we prepare for this?
ROB: That's where we come in handy! (Smiles smugly and pats INDY and HENRY on the back) Just leave that up to us.
BROWAN (smiles): I had a feeling I could count on you for that. If you three are anywhere near as resourceful as he's boasting, we should have no trouble.
TREFLER: Maybe someone who's lived here for a while can help us out with the map. Although I don't think the people are much on...
INDY'S face sobers and he puts his finger to TREFLER'S lips. He looks around almost frantically.
TREFLER (whispering): What's wrong?
INDY: I'm not sure but I think someone's trying to listen in on our conversation. There's a man over there at the bar. Third stool from the right.
Everyone casually looks over.
HENRY: I see him.
BROWAN: What's going on?
INDY: Not sure, but there's a good bet it's got to do with that orb.
TREFLER: This isn't quite what I had in mind for an adventure.
LOCKHEART: Do you think he's planning to hurt us?
INDY: He doesn't seem too alarmed yet. Don't look at him, act like we're talking.
They nod then smile awkward smiles.
ROB (through teeth): Now what?
INDY:(thinks) Get up and leave as quickly as possible to the car.
Delayed reaction.
ROB:...that's it?!
INDY: I don't know I'll think of something...for now, let's go.
They all walk to the door. As they pass, BAD GUY #1 looks out the corner of his eye. Then he turns when INDY passes and punches him in the stomach. The resta
urant is alerted as the man pulls out a gun and runs behind the bar, near the kitchen door. INDY recovers by leaning against a wall. The group runs behind
the door way beside him.
ROB: Need any help?
INDY: No, get outside I'll meet you there.
They rush to the front exit. TREFLER hesitates and HENRY and LOCKHEART wait, anxiously looking at her then the exit. They urge her to leave.
INDY (to TREFLER): Get outside with the others. Tell them to get ready to drive.
HNERY (waving his hand): Come on Mary!
TREFLER: You can't do this on your own!
BAD GUY #1 shoots at the doorframe. INDY quickly pushes her out of the way of the bullet.
INDY: GO!
She runs to HENRY and LOCKHEART, and they exit, the last of the people following. We notice LOCKHEART looks back. BAD GUY #1 meanwhile has lost interest in
them, and has returned to firing at INDY. INDY ducks and runs to a table that he turns over to hide behind. He pulls out his gun and pops up every few
seconds to fire, ducking as bullets fly past.
EXT. OUTSIDE HOTEL - DAY
Everyone, (or so we think at first), but INDY is running to the car. BROWAN stops and looks around.
BROWAN: Where's Nikki?!
INT. HOTEL - DAY
LOCKHEART pulls a gun from her boot and runs to the entrance of the dining room, hiding behind the doorframe again. She fires shots at BAD GUY, shocking
INDY.
INDY: What are you doing?! (Blast) Get outside!
LOCKHEART: We can't just leave you here yourself!
She quickly reels back behind the corner as a shot hits the frame.
INDY: You can and you're going to! (Blast) Now go!
Unfortunately for INDY, his gun clicks signifying he is out of bullets. The firing has stopped. BAD GUY #1 who is also out of bullets, throws the gun away,
and grabs a knife out of a drawer in the kitchen. Then he runs at the table INDY is hiding behind, yelling a war cry. INDY'S mouth goes agape as he stands,
and stops the man's arm from stabbing his chest. He pushes his arm away and punches him in the ribs. BAD GUY #1 is fazed, but only momentarily. He runs at
INDY again, and again INDY grabs his arm. This time, BAD GUY #1 kicks out INDY'S legs, causing him to fall on his back. With INDY still holding on, he goes
to the ground with him, and holds the knife dangerously close to his chest. This scares INDY and he fights harder to keep the knife from going in. Then he
jumps as LOCKHEART brings a champagne bottle down hard over BAD GUY'S head. His eyes go up and his body goes limp. INDY is startled for a moment and then
pushes him off in disgust and stands up.
LOCKHEART: Are you all right?!
INDY: I'm fine. Thanks. Go, GO!
They run quickly outside to the
EXT. PARKING LOT OF HOTEL - EVENING
They reach the waiting car and get in. TREFLER and ROB are in the back, and BROWAN and HENRY in the front. INDY gets in the drivers seat.
INT. CAR
LOCKHEART (as she gets in the back): What about our stuff?!
BROWAN: It's under the seats here. We snuck in the back way to our rooms to get it. Good thing we hadn't settled in yet.
ROB: Who was that guy? What was that all about?
INDY: I dunno but I'm not about to stick around and find out.
The tires screech off. A car is following close behind. BAD GUY #2 leans out the window and fires shots from his gun. The bullets whiz past the window and
one hits the rearview mirror.
ROB: Looks like we got company.
INDY: Shit!
INDY panics and grips the steering wheel as the car veers on the road. Everyone is thrown around. More shots are fired and everyone ducks. One shot just
misses INDY'S head and goes through the windshield.
INDY: That was too close!
Suddenly, TREFLER becomes exasperated and grabs ROB'S gun.
ROB: Hey!
She checks if it's loaded then yells to INDY
TREFLER: Keep it steady!
INDY: What?!
EXT. CAR - EVENING
TREFLER leans out the window and fires three shots at the car. One hits the tire of the enemy car and it swerves on the road. TREFLER nods in satisfaction. ROB grabs her to help keep her balance as she leans out the window. Then a bullet flies past her face and she quickly sobers and ducks back into the car.
INT. CAR
Everyone is looking at her, astonished.
TREFLER (shrugs): Just trying to help.
ROB takes his gun back.
ROB (to TREFLER and LOCKHEART): What did you girls have for breakfast?!
BROWAN: Looks like there's a road up there. Maybe we can lose them but we have to move! Can't you pick up the pace?!
INDY: I'm trying I'm trying! Everyone hang on! It's gonna get bumpy!
EXT. CAR - EVENING
The car is then seen swerving from side to side on the road.
HENRY: This is intolerable!
Then they reach the turn and INDY spins the wheel as far as possible to make it. The tires screech as the car skids. It sways around the corner and then
becomes stable as it speeds down the narrow road. Then they hit a town that is rather busy. They drive quickly and eventually blend in with the rest of the
cars and people and shops. When the enemy vehicle finally reaches the same point they screech to a halt. All of the BAD GUYS exit the car and look around.
Then BAD GUY #2 starts yelling at his cronies and kicking the shot tire. Then we are back in the car which is parked in a shadowed alley way.
INT. CAR
LOCKHEART: I think we lost them.
ROB: Wonder what they wanted.
INDY: Who knows? Unfortunately we didn't get a chance to chat.
BROWAN: Maybe they're after the Orb. Or one of us. Do you think we'll run into them again?
INDY: Let's hope not.
TREFLER: Where should we stay now? We can't go back to the hotel. It might be crawling with more of them looking for us.
BROWAN: Maybe we can go back later tonight. They might be gone by then.
INDY: Well, we gotta do something soon. We can't drive around all day. (looking at BROWAN) Do you know anyone at all from around here?
BROWAN: No I...Wait, of course! Kevin Malton! My friend, the man who set us up here! I think he lives somewhere around here.
INDY: Good! And maybe we can ask him about our friends we picked up, see if he's heard anything.
The car drives off down the road.
Scene change to the outside of an old, large house.
EXT. KEVIN MALTON'S HOME - EVENING
It has a gravel path with bushes and trees on either side. Everyone gets out when the car stops. With BROWAN leading the way, they walk up to the door.
BROWAN knocks. A butler type answers the door.
BUTLER: Yes?
BROWAN: We're here to see Mr. Malton.
BUTLER: I'm sorry I don't believe he's seeing anyone today...
BROWAN argues with the butler as we see MALTON come down the stairs, straining to see who it is at the door. His eyes light up when he recognizes him.
MALTON: Geoff Browan is that you?!
BROWAN (still arguing with butler): And I ju...Kevin old buddy! How are you?! I thought I'd drop by for a visit, if you're not to busy.
MALTON: Of course. What a wonderful surprise! Harold, let Mr. Browan in please. Thank you.... and who's this bunch of nice looking people you've brought
with you?
HAROLD steps back and opens the door for BROWAN and his company.
INT. MALTON'S HOME
BROWAN (gesturing at everyone): This is the archeologist I spoke about, Dr. Jones. And this his father Henry Jones, and their friend Robert Cowden. And
these two lovely ladies are Nicya Lockheart and Mary Trefler.
MALTON: Hello everyone. It's lovely to meet you. (Smiles then looks at BROWAN) So how are you? Are the accommodations all right?
BROWAN: Actually there was a bit of trouble.
MALTON: Oh no don't tell me you're having problems already.
BROWAN: I'm afraid so. We were attacked out of nowhere at the hotel by some strangers. Gave us quite a fright. We all agree its wise not to go back there.
MALTON: For heavens sake, I should say not. Well, I'd be more than happy to have you here. I believe there's enough room for all of you.
BROWAN (sighs with relief): I was hoping you would say that. Thanks Kevin, you're always getting me outta tough scrapes.
MALTON (smiles): Well, I was about to sit down to dinner, if you would care to join me.
BROWAN: We didn't get a chance to eat before our interruption. We'd love to.
MALTON: Excellent! But first of all, Harry, show these people to the guest rooms.
Scene changes to
INT. MALTON'S DINING ROOM
It is a fancy dining room with pictures on the wall and a chandelier above a long table. Everyone is seated around it, chatting gaily with half eaten food
on plates and cups half empty. Then we zoom in and hear more of their conversation.
INDY (speaking to MALTON): I met Rob at a lecture I gave at a college in New York. He had left his notes in his hotel room and didn't have a clue what to
say.
ROB (laughs): Jones here had to jump in and save my tail. It was a nightmare.
Everyone laughs and comments then MALTON speaks up.
MALTON: Wait a second, Jones, Jones...Oh I know! You two are the father/son team that recovered the Grail, right?!
HENRY and INDY smile modestly and nod.
ROB (good humouredly): Here we go.
MALTON: Well, waddya know? Celebrities in my own home!
HENRY: I wouldn't go as fa...
MALTON: What was it like? Did you actually hold it in your hand?
INDY: Yes, briefly.
MALTON (to HENRY): And it saved your life?
HENRY: More my son really. He was the one who risked his life to get it and saved mine. I certainly owe him one. (Smiles)
MALTON: Wow, a celebrity and a hero! And what about all the people who accused you of lying?
INDY: There isn't much to tell. After a recovery team went over and saw the fallen temple, it shut them up.
MALTON laughs.
MALTON: It really is my pleasure to have you here! So, the Orb must seem insignificant compared to The Grail.
INDY (smiles): All my findings are significant to me.
MALTON: Spoken like a true archeologist! (Looks around) All of you are looking to recover this orb?
BROWAN: That's right. Speaking of which, unfortunately we've hit a bit of a snag.
MALTON: Oh?
BROWAN: Yes, you see we realized that the map we have is obviously rather outdated. And we're not confident that all the landmarks are still standing. If
they aren't we won't know where we are or where to go next. And that's if we can even figure out the clues on the map.
MALTON: Well, I can assure you of one thing. These people here revel in their history. I don't believe much has changed. They've left almost all of their
historical buildings, structures and monuments standing for centuries.
LOCKHEART: There's some good news. Perhaps you can help us, Mr. Malton.
INDY: Yes, you've lived here awhile, you should know this place better than any of us. If you could help us somehow in figuring out the clues or even coming
along...Not that you haven't already done enough.
MALTON (laughing): Not to worry Dr. Jones. I don't mind helping people out, especially if I get to join in on the fun. What would be involved?
INDY: We don't know much of this place so you could be the guide. Direct us where to go.
MALTON: And what if we run into some more of those trouble makers?
INDY: Stick with us and you'll be protected.
MALTON: May I see the map after dinner?
Scene change to
INT. MALTON'S LIVING ROOM - DUSK
It is beautiful. It has a large coffee table and a fireplace with a picture above it. There are large windows on the right wall and a bookshelf beside it.
Chairs are scattered throughout the room and there is a big couch near the table. Everyone is seated in different places. MALTON and BROWAN are on the
couch. The map is spread out on the coffee table in front of them.
BROWAN: Now this first part here we figured out. It means the Black Bear Woods. Besides that we're lost completely.
MALTON takes out his glasses and puts them on. He looks closely at the map for a minute. There is a nervous silence, then
MALTON: This picture here, of the dragon breathing fire (points). It looks like the Dragon's Head Cave. It's called that because, if you can believe, it
looks like a dragon's head. Not very creative, I'm afraid. Then it says from the cave you go to a city which, I'm guessing, is Capplent. It's still around
today and the people there are pleasant. We should have no trouble at that point. So, through Black Bear Woods to Dragon Head Cave and through the cave to
Capplent. From there...well I'm sure we'll figure it out along the way.
INDY: That should get us off to a good start. So does this mean you'll go with us?
MALTON: Why not? By the sounds of it, it should be a nerve-racking experience. I can't wait.
BROWAN: Thanks again for this, Kevin. You're a good friend.
MALTON: Think nothing of it. But I would like it if we could reconvene in the morning? I have some lost sleep to catch up on.
BROWAN: Good idea. I think we all could use a good sleep.
MALTON: All right, good night everyone. And be sure to tell me if there are any problems with your rooms.
EVERYONE (scattered): Thanks. :good night. : All right.
Scene ends. New scene opens in
INT. INDY'S QUARTERS - LATE NIGHT
The room is small with a large window on the wall opposite the door and a large, king-sized bed lying beside it. There are pictures on the wall, a bed side
table, dresser, bookcase, and a desk and chair as well. INDY is sleeping on the cover of the bed in regular clothing with the Fedora over his face. His head
pops up when he hears a noise in the hallway. He sits up listening. Hearing nothing he shrugs and lies back down. Then he hears the sounds again and sits
up. Listening once more, he hears the sound again and gets out of the bed. He slowly walks over to the chair with his jacket on it. He pulls his gun out of
his jacket and moves quietly to the door. He cautiously opens the door and peers around it. Seeing something in the shadows he reels back. Then hearing the
sound come closer he moves back and opens the door. He then quickly jumps out and points the gun. ROB yells out in shock, making him do the same. Then ROB
starts laughing.
ROB: I'm sorry! I didn't mean to scare you!
INDY (straightens up and clears his throat): That's all right. What are you doing up?
ROB: I thought I heard a sound so I (sound occurs) There it is!
INDY: Get back.
INDY walks to the banister in the hallway and looks over.
INT. MALTON'S UPSTAIRS HALLWAY
INDY: All clear. I guess the house is just old. So you really heard a-
He notices ROB peering into a room.
INDY: What are you doing?
ROB (jolted): Nothing!
INDY: Yes you were you were looking into Marie's room!
ROB: You're crazy. I was just...you don't...
INDY (waves his hand tiredly): Just go to bed before you get a slap in the face.
ROB: Yeah, all right. Good night.
He leaves INDY watching after him. Then INDY turns to his room, shaking his head.
INT. INDY'S QUARTERS
INDY lies down and closes his eyes. Then he hears another sound.
INDY: Rob?
There is no answer. INDY sits up.
INDY: Rob, is that-
INDY is booted off the bed by a MASKED MAN swinging in from the window. INDY gets up, gripping his left arm. Then he is elbowed in the back, winces and
falls to his knees. INDY gets up again. He is about to be punched in the face, when he grabs the fist and knocks the feet out from under the MASKED MAN. The
MASKED MAN falls with a thud, then brings INDY down with him. They roll on the floor for a while, then INDY is on top of him and restricting one of the
MASKED MAN'S hands. The MASKED MAN brings the other hand to INDY'S throat. INDY grabs for the lamp beside the bed as he chokes. It falls and breaks. INDY
takes a piece of the shattered glass and stabs it into the MASKED MAN'S right hand. The MASKED MAN screams and grips his hand, releasing INDY who gives a
relieved gasp. INDY stumbles to his feet, rubbing his throat and catching his much needed breath. He is about to lash out and punch when the MASKED MAN
rolls over and kicks him in the knee, causing him to fall once again. The MASKED MAN gets up, bedraggled, and runs out of the room. INDY rushes to his feet
and runs after him into the hallway. He looks over the banister in time to see the front door shut. He runs downstairs and opens the door to see if he can
still catch the MASKED MAN. But he is out of sight so INDY turns back inside. He sighs and groans as the pain floods back. Scene fades.
Everyone is sitting in
INT. THE CAR - MORNING
MALTON is driving and HENRY and ROB are sitting beside him. INDY, TREFLER, LOCKHEART and BROWAN are in the back seat.
LOCKHEART: Are you hurt badly?
INDY: Just a sore back. Nothing I can't handle.
MALTON: Did he take anything, ask any questions?
INDY: Nothing. Like he was there solely to beat me up. I don't get it.
MALTON: Nothing...well, as long as you're all right.
INDY: Thanks. So, where are we going?
MALTON: To see a friend of mine, Darren Mantzula. I think he just might be able to help us figure out the clues on the map.
Car drives off.
EXT. DARREN MANTZULA'S HOME - MORNING
There are several houses attached together by cement. They have ridged roofs and there are cement steps going up to the doorways. A dirt road lies in front
of it. (Like the houses in Cairo in 'Raiders'.)
INT. DARREN MANTZULA'S HOME
The ceiling is low and an oriental carpet lies on the dirt ground below. It has a low table upon it, surrounded by chairs and a couch. At the head of the
carpet is a cement fireplace with a mantel above it. INDY is pacing back in forth being watched by BROWAN and HENRY, who are sitting on the couch with
MALTON. TREFLER and LOCKHEART are sitting in the chairs while ROB is leaning against a wall. An unknown man has his back to everyone, leaning on the mantel.
MALTON: We were having trouble with the map. The clues are indecipherable to us, and I figured you could help. Seeing as you've lived here so long.
The man turns around to reveal the dark, handsome look he possesses. He wears a buttoned shirt with a collar and black pants. He has thick eyebrows, dark
eyes, and dark skin. He's wearing black leather gloves on his hands. He speaks with some foreign accent and without much emotion.
MANTZULA: I will do my best to help. Although I'm not sure I'll do much better.
MALTON: Anything you can tell us we can use.
MANTZULA: Who has the map?
BROWAN: I've got it.
BROWAN takes it out of his jacket and lays it on the table.
BROWAN: We have it mostly figured out, as you can see by our markings. But once we get to Capplent we have no idea.
MANTZULA studies the map for several seconds.
MANTZULA: You are correct about everything. Except the city. It is not Capplent, but Alterten. It is an understandable mistake. It's very close to Capplent.
The picture (points) of the woman in red represents the statue that lies on the outskirts of the city. A similar one is in Capplent as well so it's a good
thing that you now have the right city. It's some religious marker I believe.
INDY (questioning look): Are you sure? Kevin showed me a map of this place. Capplent seemed pretty accurate to me.
MANTZULA: No, like I said it is easily mistaken...don't worry Dr. Jones, I will not steer you wrong.
INDY lets go of his mistrust.
INDY (sighs): Right.
MANTZULA nods.
MANTZULA: It appears the statue is an entrance to some underground room...Dr. Jones, this is all very elaborate for such a small artifact. Perhaps there's
more to this orb than you thought? (Looks up)
ROB: It turns a human being into an ultimate weapon, a killing machine. I'd wanna guard that with my life wouldn't you?
MANTZULA (skeptically): True...well you're going to have to do some digging to get to it. And that's the end of the map.
MALTON: All right, we'd best be on our way. We have to get started immediately. Who knows who's got wind of it by now? Thanks again Darren. We would have
been lost without you.
MANTZULA (bows): Glad I could help.
Everyone gets to their feet.
INDY: We appreciate the help. Thanks. (Shakes MANTZULA'S hand)
MALTON: If there's ever anything I can do for you, just name it.
MANTZULA nods.
INDY: All right lets go.
MANTZULA (gives small salute): Good luck.
Everyone exits and door closes. Then MANTZULA removes the gloves slowly and dramatically to reveal a nasty gash in his right hand.
ROB, INDY and HENRY all stand at the entranceway to the dining room, dressed smartly. INDY looks around for BROWAN and spots him at a table, waving him over. INDY taps ROB on the shoulder, who is turned around. He points for both ROB and HENRY and they all walk over to the table. As they sit down
ROB: You ladies look simply ravishing.
He takes each of their hands in turn and kisses them lightly on the back. INDY removes his fedora.
INDY: Sit down Rob.
ROB: I'm sorry, I didn't mean to leave you out.
He takes INDY'S hand and bends to kiss it but INDY pulls it away. Everyone laughs.
INDY: Ok Casanova, take a seat.
ROB smiles and winks.
INDY (turns to BROWAN): So, where are we exactly? I don't recognize anything here.
BROWAN: I have to admit I'm not too familiar with this place either. All I can tell you is we're at the first place on the map. It used to be called
Gratanian. In fact, I'd like to speak to you about the map. I'm having a little trouble.
INDY: May I see it?
BROWAN: Of course.
Reaches into a bag he has slung over the chair and pulls out a scroll. He unravels it and flattens it out on the table.
BROWAN: Here is where we are. Then the picture here (points) of the black bear on the tree, I believe that represents Black Bear Woods. It's near the border
of these two countries, sort of a divider. The dragonhead here (points) should be some sort of cave that's supposed to lead into the next country. But after
that I have no idea.
TREFLER (frowns): This could be a drag. And even if we do figure out the clues, this map is centuries old. How can we be sure the landmarks are still

INDY'S face sobers and he puts his finger to TREFLER'S lips. He looks around almost frantically.
TREFLER (whispering): What's wrong?
INDY: I'm not sure but I think someone's trying to listen in on our conversation. There's a man over there at the bar. Third stool from the right.
Everyone casually looks over.
HENRY: I see him.
BROWAN: What's going on?
INDY: Not sure, but there's a good bet it's got to do with that orb.
TREFLER: This isn't quite what I had in mind for an adventure.
LOCKHEART: Do you think he's planning to hurt us?
INDY: He doesn't seem too alarmed yet. Don't look at him, act like we're talking.
They nod then smile awkward smiles.
ROB (through teeth): Now what?
INDY:(thinks) Get up and leave as quickly as possible to the car.
Delayed reaction.
ROB:...that's it?!
INDY: I don't know I'll think of something...for now, let's go.
They all walk to the door. As they pass, BAD GUY #1 looks out the corner of his eye. Then he turns when INDY passes and punches him in the stomach. The resta
urant is alerted as the man pulls out a gun and runs behind the bar, near the kitchen door. INDY recovers by leaning against a wall. The group runs behind

They rush to the front exit. TREFLER hesitates and HENRY and LOCKHEART wait, anxiously looking at her then the exit. They urge her to leave.
INDY (to TREFLER): Get outside with the others. Tell them to get ready to drive.
HNERY (waving his hand): Come on Mary!
TREFLER: You can't do this on your own!
BAD GUY #1 shoots at the doorframe. INDY quickly pushes her out of the way of the bullet.
INDY: GO!
She runs to HENRY and LOCKHEART, and they exit, the last of the people following. We notice LOCKHEART looks back. BAD GUY #1 meanwhile has lost interest in
them, and has returned to firing at INDY. INDY ducks and runs to a table that he turns over to hide behind. He pulls out his gun and pops up every few
seconds to fire, ducking as bullets fly past.
EXT. OUTSIDE HOTEL - DAY
Everyone, (or so we think at first), but INDY is running to the car. BROWAN stops and looks around.
BROWAN: Where's Nikki?!
INT. HOTEL - DAY
LOCKHEART pulls a gun from her boot and runs to the entrance of the dining room, hiding behind the doorframe again. She fires shots at BAD GUY, shocking
INDY.
INDY: What are you doing?! (Blast) Get outside!
LOCKHEART: We can't just leave you here yourself!
She quickly reels back behind the corner as a shot hits the frame.
INDY: You can and you're going to! (Blast) Now go!
Unfortunately for INDY, his gun clicks signifying he is out of bullets. The firing has stopped. BAD GUY #1 who is also out of bullets, throws the gun away,
and grabs a knife out of a drawer in the kitchen. Then he runs at the table INDY is hiding behind, yelling a war cry. INDY'S mouth goes agape as he stands,
and stops the man's arm from stabbing his chest. He pushes his arm away and punches him in the ribs. BAD GUY #1 is fazed, but only momentarily. He runs at
INDY again, and again INDY grabs his arm. This time, BAD GUY #1 kicks out INDY'S legs, causing him to fall on his back. With INDY still holding on, he goes
to the ground with him, and holds the knife dangerously close to his chest. This scares INDY and he fights harder to keep the knife from going in. Then he
jumps as LOCKHEART brings a champagne bottle down hard over BAD GUY'S head. His eyes go up and his body goes limp. INDY is startled for a moment and then
pushes him off in disgust and stands up.
LOCKHEART: Are you all right?!
INDY: I'm fine. Thanks. Go, GO!
They run quickly outside to the
EXT. PARKING LOT OF HOTEL - EVENING
They reach the waiting car and get in. TREFLER and ROB are in the back, and BROWAN and HENRY in the front. INDY gets in the drivers seat.
INT. CAR
LOCKHEART (as she gets in the back): What about our stuff?!
BROWAN: It's under the seats here. We snuck in the back way to our rooms to get it. Good thing we hadn't settled in yet.
ROB: Who was that guy? What was that all about?
INDY: I dunno but I'm not about to stick around and find out.
The tires screech off. A car is following close behind. BAD GUY #2 leans out the window and fires shots from his gun. The bullets whiz past the window and
one hits the rearview mirror.
ROB: Looks like we got company.
INDY: Shit!
INDY panics and grips the steering wheel as the car veers on the road. Everyone is thrown around. More shots are fired and everyone ducks. One shot just
misses INDY'S head and goes through the windshield.
INDY: That was too close!
Suddenly, TREFLER becomes exasperated and grabs ROB'S gun.
ROB: Hey!
She checks if it's loaded then yells to INDY
TREFLER: Keep it steady!
INDY: What?!
EXT. CAR - EVENING
TREFLER leans out the window and fires three shots at the car. One hits the tire of the enemy car and it swerves on the road. TREFLER nods in satisfaction. ROB grabs her to help keep her balance as she leans out the window. Then a bullet flies past her face and she quickly sobers and ducks back into the car.
INT. CAR
Everyone is looking at her, astonished.
TREFLER (shrugs): Just trying to help.
ROB takes his gun back.
ROB (to TREFLER and LOCKHEART): What did you girls have for breakfast?!
BROWAN: Looks like there's a road up there. Maybe we can lose them but we have to move! Can't you pick up the pace?!
INDY: I'm trying I'm trying! Everyone hang on! It's gonna get bumpy!
EXT. CAR - EVENING
The car is then seen swerving from side to side on the road.
HENRY: This is intolerable!
Then they reach the turn and INDY spins the wheel as far as possible to make it. The tires screech as the car skids. It sways around the corner and then
becomes stable as it speeds down the narrow road. Then they hit a town that is rather busy. They drive quickly and eventually blend in with the rest of the
cars and people and shops. When the enemy vehicle finally reaches the same point they screech to a halt. All of the BAD GUYS exit the car and look around.
Then BAD GUY #2 starts yelling at his cronies and kicking the shot tire. Then we are back in the car which is parked in a shadowed alley way.
INT. CAR
LOCKHEART: I think we lost them.
ROB: Wonder what they wanted.
INDY: Who knows? Unfortunately we didn't get a chance to chat.
BROWAN: Maybe they're after the Orb. Or one of us. Do you think we'll run into them again?
INDY: Let's hope not.
TREFLER: Where should we stay now? We can't go back to the hotel. It might be crawling with more of them looking for us.
BROWAN: Maybe we can go back later tonight. They might be gone by then.
INDY: Well, we gotta do something soon. We can't drive around all day. (looking at BROWAN) Do you know anyone at all from around here?
BROWAN: No I...Wait, of course! Kevin Malton! My friend, the man who set us up here! I think he lives somewhere around here.
INDY: Good! And maybe we can ask him about our friends we picked up, see if he's heard anything.
The car drives off down the road.
Scene change to the outside of an old, large house.
EXT. KEVIN MALTON'S HOME - EVENING
It has a gravel path with bushes and trees on either side. Everyone gets out when the car stops. With BROWAN leading the way, they walk up to the door.
BROWAN knocks. A butler type answers the door.
BUTLER: Yes?
BROWAN: We're here to see Mr. Malton.
BUTLER: I'm sorry I don't believe he's seeing anyone today...
BROWAN argues with the butler as we see MALTON come down the stairs, straining to see who it is at the door. His eyes light up when he recognizes him.
MALTON: Geoff Browan is that you?!
BROWAN (still arguing with butler): And I ju...Kevin old buddy! How are you?! I thought I'd drop by for a visit, if you're not to busy.
MALTON: Of course. What a wonderful surprise! Harold, let Mr. Browan in please. Thank you.... and who's this bunch of nice looking people you've brought
with you?
HAROLD steps back and opens the door for BROWAN and his company.
INT. MALTON'S HOME
BROWAN (gesturing at everyone): This is the archeologist I spoke about, Dr. Jones. And this his father Henry Jones, and their friend Robert Cowden. And
these two lovely ladies are Nicya Lockheart and Mary Trefler.
MALTON: Hello everyone. It's lovely to meet you. (Smiles then looks at BROWAN) So how are you? Are the accommodations all right?
BROWAN: Actually there was a bit of trouble.
MALTON: Oh no don't tell me you're having problems already.
BROWAN: I'm afraid so. We were attacked out of nowhere at the hotel by some strangers. Gave us quite a fright. We all agree its wise not to go back there.
MALTON: For heavens sake, I should say not. Well, I'd be more than happy to have you here. I believe there's enough room for all of you.
BROWAN (sighs with relief): I was hoping you would say that. Thanks Kevin, you're always getting me outta tough scrapes.
MALTON (smiles): Well, I was about to sit down to dinner, if you would care to join me.
BROWAN: We didn't get a chance to eat before our interruption. We'd love to.
MALTON: Excellent! But first of all, Harry, show these people to the guest rooms.
Scene changes to
INT. MALTON'S DINING ROOM
It is a fancy dining room with pictures on the wall and a chandelier above a long table. Everyone is seated around it, chatting gaily with half eaten food
on plates and cups half empty. Then we zoom in and hear more of their conversation.
INDY (speaking to MALTON): I met Rob at a lecture I gave at a college in New York. He had left his notes in his hotel room and didn't have a clue what to
say.
ROB (laughs): Jones here had to jump in and save my tail. It was a nightmare.
Everyone laughs and comments then MALTON speaks up.
MALTON: Wait a second, Jones, Jones...Oh I know! You two are the father/son team that recovered the Grail, right?!
HENRY and INDY smile modestly and nod.
ROB (good humouredly): Here we go.
MALTON: Well, waddya know? Celebrities in my own home!
HENRY: I wouldn't go as fa...
MALTON: What was it like? Did you actually hold it in your hand?
INDY: Yes, briefly.
MALTON (to HENRY): And it saved your life?
HENRY: More my son really. He was the one who risked his life to get it and saved mine. I certainly owe him one. (Smiles)
MALTON: Wow, a celebrity and a hero! And what about all the people who accused you of lying?
INDY: There isn't much to tell. After a recovery team went over and saw the fallen temple, it shut them up.
MALTON laughs.
MALTON: It really is my pleasure to have you here! So, the Orb must seem insignificant compared to The Grail.
INDY (smiles): All my findings are significant to me.
MALTON: Spoken like a true archeologist! (Looks around) All of you are looking to recover this orb?
BROWAN: That's right. Speaking of which, unfortunately we've hit a bit of a snag.
MALTON: Oh?
BROWAN: Yes, you see we realized that the map we have is obviously rather outdated. And we're not confident that all the landmarks are still standing. If
they aren't we won't know where we are or where to go next. And that's if we can even figure out the clues on the map.
MALTON: Well, I can assure you of one thing. These people here revel in their history. I don't believe much has changed. They've left almost all of their
historical buildings, structures and monuments standing for centuries.
LOCKHEART: There's some good news. Perhaps you can help us, Mr. Malton.
INDY: Yes, you've lived here awhile, you should know this place better than any of us. If you could help us somehow in figuring out the clues or even coming
along...Not that you haven't already done enough.
MALTON (laughing): Not to worry Dr. Jones. I don't mind helping people out, especially if I get to join in on the fun. What would be involved?
INDY: We don't know much of this place so you could be the guide. Direct us where to go.
MALTON: And what if we run into some more of those trouble makers?
INDY: Stick with us and you'll be protected.
MALTON: May I see the map after dinner?
Scene change to
INT. MALTON'S LIVING ROOM - DUSK
It is beautiful. It has a large coffee table and a fireplace with a picture above it. There are large windows on the right wall and a bookshelf beside it.
Chairs are scattered throughout the room and there is a big couch near the table. Everyone is seated in different places. MALTON and BROWAN are on the
couch. The map is spread out on the coffee table in front of them.
BROWAN: Now this first part here we figured out. It means the Black Bear Woods. Besides that we're lost completely.
MALTON takes out his glasses and puts them on. He looks closely at the map for a minute. There is a nervous silence, then
MALTON: This picture here, of the dragon breathing fire (points). It looks like the Dragon's Head Cave. It's called that because, if you can believe, it
looks like a dragon's head. Not very creative, I'm afraid. Then it says from the cave you go to a city which, I'm guessing, is Capplent. It's still around
today and the people there are pleasant. We should have no trouble at that point. So, through Black Bear Woods to Dragon Head Cave and through the cave to
Capplent. From there...well I'm sure we'll figure it out along the way.
INDY: That should get us off to a good start. So does this mean you'll go with us?
MALTON: Why not? By the sounds of it, it should be a nerve-racking experience. I can't wait.
BROWAN: Thanks again for this, Kevin. You're a good friend.
MALTON: Think nothing of it. But I would like it if we could reconvene in the morning? I have some lost sleep to catch up on.
BROWAN: Good idea. I think we all could use a good sleep.
MALTON: All right, good night everyone. And be sure to tell me if there are any problems with your rooms.
EVERYONE (scattered): Thanks. :good night. : All right.
Scene ends. New scene opens in
INT. INDY'S QUARTERS - LATE NIGHT
The room is small with a large window on the wall opposite the door and a large, king-sized bed lying beside it. There are pictures on the wall, a bed side
table, dresser, bookcase, and a desk and chair as well. INDY is sleeping on the cover of the bed in regular clothing with the Fedora over his face. His head
pops up when he hears a noise in the hallway. He sits up listening. Hearing nothing he shrugs and lies back down. Then he hears the sounds again and sits
up. Listening once more, he hears the sound again and gets out of the bed. He slowly walks over to the chair with his jacket on it. He pulls his gun out of
his jacket and moves quietly to the door. He cautiously opens the door and peers around it. Seeing something in the shadows he reels back. Then hearing the
sound come closer he moves back and opens the door. He then quickly jumps out and points the gun. ROB yells out in shock, making him do the same. Then ROB
starts laughing.
ROB: I'm sorry! I didn't mean to scare you!
INDY (straightens up and clears his throat): That's all right. What are you doing up?
ROB: I thought I heard a sound so I (sound occurs) There it is!
INDY: Get back.
INDY walks to the banister in the hallway and looks over.
INT. MALTON'S UPSTAIRS HALLWAY
INDY: All clear. I guess the house is just old. So you really heard a-
He notices ROB peering into a room.
INDY: What are you doing?
ROB (jolted): Nothing!
INDY: Yes you were you were looking into Marie's room!
ROB: You're crazy. I was just...you don't...
INDY (waves his hand tiredly): Just go to bed before you get a slap in the face.
ROB: Yeah, all right. Good night.
He leaves INDY watching after him. Then INDY turns to his room, shaking his head.
INT. INDY'S QUARTERS
INDY lies down and closes his eyes. Then he hears another sound.
INDY: Rob?
There is no answer. INDY sits up.
INDY: Rob, is that-
INDY is booted off the bed by a MASKED MAN swinging in from the window. INDY gets up, gripping his left arm. Then he is elbowed in the back, winces and
falls to his knees. INDY gets up again. He is about to be punched in the face, when he grabs the fist and knocks the feet out from under the MASKED MAN. The
MASKED MAN falls with a thud, then brings INDY down with him. They roll on the floor for a while, then INDY is on top of him and restricting one of the
MASKED MAN'S hands. The MASKED MAN brings the other hand to INDY'S throat. INDY grabs for the lamp beside the bed as he chokes. It falls and breaks. INDY
takes a piece of the shattered glass and stabs it into the MASKED MAN'S right hand. The MASKED MAN screams and grips his hand, releasing INDY who gives a
relieved gasp. INDY stumbles to his feet, rubbing his throat and catching his much needed breath. He is about to lash out and punch when the MASKED MAN
rolls over and kicks him in the knee, causing him to fall once again. The MASKED MAN gets up, bedraggled, and runs out of the room. INDY rushes to his feet
and runs after him into the hallway. He looks over the banister in time to see the front door shut. He runs downstairs and opens the door to see if he can
still catch the MASKED MAN. But he is out of sight so INDY turns back inside. He sighs and groans as the pain floods back. Scene fades.
Everyone is sitting in
INT. THE CAR - MORNING
MALTON is driving and HENRY and ROB are sitting beside him. INDY, TREFLER, LOCKHEART and BROWAN are in the back seat.
LOCKHEART: Are you hurt badly?
INDY: Just a sore back. Nothing I can't handle.
MALTON: Did he take anything, ask any questions?
INDY: Nothing. Like he was there solely to beat me up. I don't get it.
MALTON: Nothing...well, as long as you're all right.
INDY: Thanks. So, where are we going?
MALTON: To see a friend of mine, Darren Mantzula. I think he just might be able to help us figure out the clues on the map.
Car drives off.
EXT. DARREN MANTZULA'S HOME - MORNING
There are several houses attached together by cement. They have ridged roofs and there are cement steps going up to the doorways. A dirt road lies in front
of it. (Like the houses in Cairo in 'Raiders'.)
INT. DARREN MANTZULA'S HOME
The ceiling is low and an oriental carpet lies on the dirt ground below. It has a low table upon it, surrounded by chairs and a couch. At the head of the
carpet is a cement fireplace with a mantel above it. INDY is pacing back in forth being watched by BROWAN and HENRY, who are sitting on the couch with
MALTON. TREFLER and LOCKHEART are sitting in the chairs while ROB is leaning against a wall. An unknown man has his back to everyone, leaning on the mantel.
MALTON: We were having trouble with the map. The clues are indecipherable to us, and I figured you could help. Seeing as you've lived here so long.
The man turns around to reveal the dark, handsome look he possesses. He wears a buttoned shirt with a collar and black pants. He has thick eyebrows, dark
eyes, and dark skin. He's wearing black leather gloves on his hands. He speaks with some foreign accent and without much emotion.
MANTZULA: I will do my best to help. Although I'm not sure I'll do much better.
MALTON: Anything you can tell us we can use.
MANTZULA: Who has the map?
BROWAN: I've got it.
BROWAN takes it out of his jacket and lays it on the table.
BROWAN: We have it mostly figured out, as you can see by our markings. But once we get to Capplent we have no idea.
MANTZULA studies the map for several seconds.
MANTZULA: You are correct about everything. Except the city. It is not Capplent, but Alterten. It is an understandable mistake. It's very close to Capplent.
The picture (points) of the woman in red represents the statue that lies on the outskirts of the city. A similar one is in Capplent as well so it's a good
thing that you now have the right city. It's some religious marker I believe.
INDY (questioning look): Are you sure? Kevin showed me a map of this place. Capplent seemed pretty accurate to me.
MANTZULA: No, like I said it is easily mistaken...don't worry Dr. Jones, I will not steer you wrong.
INDY lets go of his mistrust.
INDY (sighs): Right.
MANTZULA nods.
MANTZULA: It appears the statue is an entrance to some underground room...Dr. Jones, this is all very elaborate for such a small artifact. Perhaps there's
more to this orb than you thought? (Looks up)
ROB: It turns a human being into an ultimate weapon, a killing machine. I'd wanna guard that with my life wouldn't you?
MANTZULA (skeptically): True...well you're going to have to do some digging to get to it. And that's the end of the map.
MALTON: All right, we'd best be on our way. We have to get started immediately. Who knows who's got wind of it by now? Thanks again Darren. We would have
been lost without you.
MANTZULA (bows): Glad I could help.
Everyone gets to their feet.
INDY: We appreciate the help. Thanks. (Shakes MANTZULA'S hand)
MALTON: If there's ever anything I can do for you, just name it.
MANTZULA nods.
INDY: All right lets go.
MANTZULA (gives small salute): Good luck.
Everyone exits and door closes. Then MANTZULA removes the gloves slowly and dramatically to reveal a nasty gash in his right hand.
