Ext. unpaved road-day
The next day, Indy, Harold, Abigail and Garret are traveling on the horses from the wagon. Garret is leading the way.
Abigail: So about how much further is this mountain?
Garret: We should reach it in about an hour. My boat however isn't much further at all.
Harold: What boat? You have a boat?
Garret: Yes! Didn't I mention it? When I and Darius were exploring the Indian Ocean we got caught in a one whopper of a storm. We ended up in the river and crashed it nearby. We fixed it up and I have kept it here hidden ever since.
Indy: Aren't you worried about it getting taken?
Garret: NO. No one besides me and God even know this place exists.
Behind them up in a tree is one of Cullam's men peering through binoculars. The group heads through some thick jungle and comes to an area of undisturbed water connected to the river.
Garret: There she is down there. I call her Charity.
They go inside the boat which is quite beat up and has moss grown on it.
Indy: We'll I've seen worse boats than this.
Harold: I have too. None that worked though.
Garret: I'll have you know that even though the body is rusty; her engine is in superb condition.
They look around for any supplies they may be able to use such as ammo, and flashlights. Abigail sees a big harpoon on the boat.
Abigail: What a big harpoon gun!
Indy: That's for spearing sharks. Come on.
Ext. near mountain-day
The group leaves and heads for the mountain. They finally arrive and start up the trail. A few times they stop and Indy reads the directions. As they hike the trail goes from Jungle to a bit snowy after hours of walking. Finally after a hard hike on an uphill trail and a about a mile hike off trail, Indy sees a marker indicating they are close.
Indy: Stop here for a second.
Indy looks at his map of directions.
Indy: According to the directions, there should be a cave near two giant pointed stones making an x shape.
Everyone looks up and sure enough there are two giant boulders crossing each other in an 'x' shape.
Garret: There it is!
Indy: Every one spread out and look for a cave.
Everyone looks around but can't seem to find it. Abby is standing around starting to get discouraged when all of a sudden a part of the ground falls below her. She screams and everyone runs to see if she is all right.
Harold: Abigail!
Everyone sees that Abby is hanging onto a root and dangling in a pit that leads underground.
Abby: Can someone help me up please!
Indy: You found the entrance! Good job!
Abby: (still hanging for her life.) No problem!
Int. Inside cave- day
Everyone goes down the pit with some rope they brought from the boat. Indy lights a torch that was with them too.
Indy: There's no telling what's down here. Make sure you stay close and only touch something if I do first.
Harold: Why is that?
Indy: For one I've seen many people get killed in places like this. Secondly, cause I said so.
Garret: What thrills and surprises await us in the murky darkness I wonder?
Indy comes to a wall with some old writing on it.
Indy: Look at this.
Abigail: Is it Greek?
Indy: No, Hebrew. Looks like its old. Very old.
Garret: From the days of Solomon?
Indy: That would be my guess. Darius said some of Solomon's servants made this place to protect the ring. I'm betting they wrote it.
Abigail: Can you read what it says?
Indy: It's a little illegible but I think I can manage.
Indy looks at the text and tries to make it out.
Indy: I think it's a warning. I know this is the word for Danger. Here it says something about only the owner of Solomon's ring can pass. I'd need more to study it.
Harold: Let me take a look.
Harold looks at it for a split second.
Harold: It says follow thy path no longer. An abundance of danger is at hand. Notice only the owner of Solomon's Ring will be able to escape certain death.
Harold looks at Indy.
Harold: Any half minded archeologist could have figured that out.
Indy and the rest of the group walk ahead through the dark cavern tunnel. They go around a corner and come to an area that looks like a tunnel full of huge cobwebs.
Abigail: I hope there are no tarantulas here.
Indy: I doubt it. Tarantulas don't spin webs. Besides your not afraid of a spider are you?
With that Indy moves some of the web away with his hands when all of a sudden a row of large sharp spikes come darting out from the ground. One of them cuts Indy's arm. Indy lets out a scream of pain.
Abby: Indy!
Harold: Are you all right Henry?
Indy: It's not that bad. Rats, I should have been more carful!
Indy pulls up his jacket and shirt sleeve and sees the cut.
Indy: Neither of you have a bandage do you?
Harold: I don't think so.
Garret tears part of his sleeve off and wraps it around Indy's arm.
Garret: There. Try not to do that again. I got this shirt from the finest tailor in south Asia. I know not his name, but He once made a turban for the 9th Nizam of Hyderabad, Mir Mahbub Ali Khan.
Indy: Thanks.
Indy inspects the webs closely with the light of the torch and sees a thin wire.
Indy: Look! There's a wire here. I must have tripped one and set that trap off. I'll go first move exactly where I do.
Indy carefully breaks the wooden spikes so they can proceed. They all move slowly through the webs being careful not to not to trip any wires.
Harold: It's hard to tell what is part of a web and what is part of a trap!
Abigail: Everything will be O.K. Abby. Nice and slow does it.
Abigail gets a little scared and slows down her pace.
Indy: I don't mean to rush us but the torch won't last all day. We don't want to be caught here in the dark.
Everyone keeps moving through the webs. Indy, Harold and Garret reach the end of the webs, but Abigail is still about halfway. Indy turns to try to coach Abby out of there.
Indy: come on honey, your almost there.
Abigail: Harold, I'm scared. I can't move any further!
Harold: You can do it my dear.
Abigail: Come get me! I'm afraid!
Harold: Indy, help her. Your better at this kind of thing than I am. You understand don't you? I would but your more experienced.
Indy: O.K. I'm coming.
Indy inches his way through the wires towards Abby. He gets to wear she is and grabs for her hand.
Indy: Give me your hand.
Abby gives him her hand.
Indy: Easy now.
Just as Abby moves her foot a step closer to Indy, it trips on a wire. Indy sees it and quickly pulls her to his chest just as another row of spikes comes up rapidly.
Abby: That was exiting.
Just than Indy looks down and sees that his foot it caught between two wires.
Indy: This isn't good.
Abby: Oh my!
Indy: I can't get free. We'll have to run for it. On the count of three. One, two, three!
Indy holding Abby's hand pulls her close as the run about 20 feet with spikes popping up right behind them.
Indy: Go! Go! Go! Go! Go!
They run as fast as they can and reach the end barley missing the last row of spikes.
Harold: Are you O.K.
Abby: I think so no thanks to you!
Harold: Darling you know I would have!
Abby: (frustrated) Come on, and let us not go this way ever again!
Indy and company walk a bit further down and come across a pit in their way with no bottom in site.
Garret: I do not think down is the right way!
Abigail: There's no way we can possibly jump that.
Indy: Nope-
Indy gets his whip out. He sees a long branch near the ceiling.
Indy: -but I think I can manage to reach that branch up there.
Indy whips a branch above him and gets to the other side. He throws the whip to Harold.
Indy: You think you can get across this time?
Harold whips across but nearly hits Indy. He tosses the swinging whip back to Abigail.
Harold: You can do this Abby!
Abby looks afraid, so Garret grabs the whip and her also.
Garret: Hold on to me young lady. We shall cross over the great unknown together.
Abby: What!?
Garret: Naturally I am referring to the pit.
Garret who has the torch now holds the handle and the whip firmly, while Abby holds tight to Garret. They swing across but just before they land the branch breaks and they fall on the ground with the torch going out and the whip lost on the ground. The room is all dark now and Indy looks for the whip.
Indy: Does anyone feel my whip around here?
Harold: I can't see a thing.
Indy: Here's the whip. I found it.
Abby: I think I got the torch here.
Garret: let me light that.
Garret lights the torch and shines the light near Indy. Harold has a look of surprise and fear as he sees Indy.
Indy: What?
Abby sees something is wrong and screams, pointing at Indy! Indy looks down in his hand and notices a long whip-sized snake in his hand right where he thought his whip was! Indy screams long and loud as the snake arches up towards him and shows his fangs as if to strike. Indy throws the snake quickly away from him on the ground and it slithers away.
Indy: That wasn't my whip!
He looks around a second and finds it nearby.
Garret: Well then. Shall we continue?
The four walk down the tunnel a bit and go through a carved out doorway. Through the other side ahead of them is a bridge made of ice about 6 feet wide and 50 feet long. On the other side appears to be a door made of rock. Indy steps on it first. He notices it's a little slick.
Abby: Oh it's even colder in here.
Harold: There are probably many natural vents in here allowing cold air from outside to move around more freely.
Garret: Not to mention the chill that is attributed to the legion of evil spirits that no doubt are attracted to the ring.
Indy: Will the two of you quite with the teach and preach. Look at this bridge.
Harold looks at it closely.
Harold: It's made of ice!
Indy: Right.
Indy lights a match and drops it off the bridge. It falls down about 30 yards, where there are jagged rocks and skeletons below.
Indy: We need to be extremely careful crossing.
They all walk slowly across the bridge a few steps. Harold turns around to see behind him and sees something.
Harold: My word would you look at that!
Abby gasps as the others turn to see a giant statue of a fierce looking dragon above the doorway they entered in.
Indy: That would explain the dragon. Come on it's just a statue.
They get to the end of the ice and are standing at the front of the rock-made door.
Garret: How do you propose we get inside Indiana?
Indy: I'm not sure?
Abby: Perhaps there's some ancient doorknob to open it.
Indy: Not bad. There's got to be something around here.
Indy looks by the door and sees 7 symbols in a circular pattern around a square.
Garret: Fascinating! What do you make of it?
Indy: What do you think Ox?
Harold gets out his eye glasses and takes a look.
Harold: The carvings look to be about 3 maybe 4 thousand years old.
Indy: There are 7 symbols here. Some of these symbols repeat. What if this is a pictogram that once solved will open the door?
Abby: Like a combination lock?
Indy: Exactly! Which means they should turn-
Indy pushes on the top symbol which is the symbol for Ra. It rotates and on the other side is a picture of wavy lines.
Indy: There. Now we just have to mess with these until we get the right ones.
Abby: That could take hours.
Just then they all hear a mechanical noise like gears moving.
Harold: Maybe that is the door opening.
Garret looks behind him and sees the dragon start to shake. Then fire starts coming out of his mouth and spewing onto the ice bridge.
Garret: Work fast Indy the dragon is alive!
Everyone starts to panic when the dragon starts to move towards them slowly on a track connected to the ceiling blowing fire out of his mouth and melting the bridge as he goes!
Garret: And it's moving this way!
Indy: I don't think is gonna be good!
Indy starts trying different combinations but nothing is happening.
Abby: Hurry Indy. Do something!
Harold: Let me help Indy.
Harold starts to rotate a couple of the carved symbols when he can't see because his glasses are frosting over.
Harold: I can't see a thing with my glasses frosted.
Indy: What did you say?!
Harold: I said my glasses are frosted. I can't see.
Indy: Frost?!
Indy remembers what Garret said about the mirror that would save them at the right time. He gets the mirror out from his satchel and looks at it. It begins to frost over as 7 images start to appear in a circular pattern. The symbols are a winged disk, a sickle crescent, a sacred cross, and the sign of Ra, the leg of a bull, djed, and ankh.
The dragon is about halfway now with half the bridge gone.
Indy: I've got it!
Indy starts matching the symbols drawn on the mirror to the rock carvings by turning each piece. Indy has just a couple to as the dragon is getting closer and closer. The heat from the fire can be felt now.
Indy: That's it! I hope this works.
All of sudden the door starts to open slowly from the bottom up but very slowly. The fire breathing dragon statue is very close now and the bridge is almost gone except just enough room for them to stand on and even that is starting to get some cracks from the intense flames!
Abby: The bridge is going to fall!
Indy: Abby you're the smallest, you go first!
Abby gets down on her belly and crawls under the door that is still slowly moving up.
Indy: GO! Everyone GO!
The door is about halfway now and Garret goes under. Harold goes in next and just as the dragon's fire is about to torch Indy or make the last chunk of bridge fall from beneath him, Indy jumps through the door. The Dragon gets to the end of the track and stops but continues to blow fire just at the front of the door where everyone lies safely on the other side. The four of them look ahead and see several pillar-like structures made of rock in a row below their feet making a path. They seem to go down for many feet but it is so dark they can't see the bottom! The last pillar is much larger and above it is a long and thick chain. Attached to the free end of the chain is a small treasure box. On the other end, the chain seems to be leading out a round hole about 20 feet up and anchored to a large boulder at the top of the hole.
Garret: Look! There's a chest tied to that chain!
Harold: You don't suppose?
Indy: Only one way to find out. I better go first.
Indy carefully hops on top of the first pillar. He turns to the group.
Indy: Alright we're going to have to hop these columns. They feel sturdy but keep it one person to a column just in case. Abby goes next with Harold and Garret following. They get about halfway there when Abby notices that the walls look like they are moving.
Abby: Do you see the walls are moving?
Indy: Your eyes are playing tricks on you honey.
Harold: No, I see it too.
Harold looks at Abby from behind and sees that she is wearing a black bow in her hair that he didn't notice.
Harold: Darling did you put a black bow in your hair in the last few minutes?
Abby: No why do you say that?
Abby feels around and sees the 'bow' from her hair and looks at it her eyes get wide and she starts to scream as she realizes it is a bat!
Indy: You're going to cause a cave in with all that screaming!
Abby: There's a big black bat in my hair!
Indy: One bat won't hurt you. Besides you're in a cave. There are probably thousands of bats here!
Just as Indy said that a noise like flapping is heard all around them.
Garret: I think all those bats you mentioned are flying this way!
Just than thousands of bats fly off the walls and from the darkness below them and the ceiling.
Abby starts screaming.
Harold: Don't panic you'll fall!
Abby just screams as bats surround her but she can't focus on staying on the pillar. She walks right up to the edge and starts to lose her footing.
Harold: Abby watch the edge!
Indy grabs his whip and whips it around Abby just as she's about to fall.
Indy: I've got you!
Indy pulls her to the middle of the pillar she is on. Abby is still screaming so Indy jumps across to the pillar where Abby is and grabs her mouth to muffle her scream. After a few seconds the bats calm down some but many are still flying around.
They all hop carefully to the last pillar and look above to see the box that is tied to the chain.
Indy: It's pretty high up!
Harold: What do you suggest?
Everyone looks at Abby.
Abby: What is it?
Indy balances Abby on his shoulders so she can reach the box. She reaches for the small box and sees that there is a handle fastened to the box and a rope tied to the chain on one end and to the chest on the other end.
Abby: Do you have a knife?
Indy: Harold hand her your knife.
Abby gets the knife and cuts the box down.
Abby: O.K. let me down.
Indy lets her down and everyone gathers around to see the box being open. Inside is a golden ring with the Star of David symbol carved into diamond in the middle and small precious stones of different sorts at each point of the star.
Abby: It's beautiful!
Harold: It's even more stunning up close than the picture I saw.
Garret: Indiana. A word of caution my friend. That ring has attracted a great deal of evil spirits since it was created. Devils follow it wherever they go. Do not underestimate the ring's power.
Indy: I'll be careful. You have my word.
Indy puts it back up in the box.
Indy: We still have to find a way out. We're going to have to climb.
Once again Abby climes up Indy to grab the chain. As soon as she puts her weight on the chain, the chain which is also rigged causes a flow of natural water from below to be rerouted strait up where Indy's party is.
Abby: What's that noise?
Indy: It sounds like water.
Garret: It sounds like a lot of water. And I'm hearing it grow louder.
Indy: We better climb!
Indy gives everyone a boost and then Harold reaches down and grabs Indy's hand just as water reaches his shoes. Abby looks up and see that the hole where the chain is coming from is starting to close up too for some mechanical doors on either side are slowly closing. Everyone is climbing as fast as they can as the water gets higher and the hole gets smaller.
Indy: We need to go faster!
Everyone gets to the top including Indy who reaches the point where the chain is anchored too and gets out with the hole no almost closed. His satchel is the only thing dipped down in the whole as he crawls out but he pulls it up just missing getting it caught by a centimeter. Even though the door is closed the water is still coming through. The foursome goes the only way they can and comes to another dead end with the water coming at them and filling the room quickly! Around them are several complete skeletons dressed in clothes similar to that of explorers or pirates from the 1700s.
Harold: The waters still rising!
Indy: Well I don't know how to shut it off do you?
Abby: Oh my gosh why are there dead people in here?
Indy: I think were about to find out soon if we don't get out!
Garret: There has to be a secret door around here. You know this is just like the dam that happened to burst in my hometown while I was sleeping.
Indy: Save your story! Look for a switch or something.
Harold: How did you escape the flood?
Garret: Oh I wasn't there. Everyone else was drowned though.
Abby: You have a bad sense of timing with your stories old man!
The water is about to their chest when Harold sees a Star of David carved with a small hole in the dead center.
Harold: Indy, here!
Indy looks at the hole.
Indy: This must be how to get out. Look for something to stick in the hole. Maybe it'll open a door. They look and look with the water high now. Everyone dives and looks on the skeletons to see if they can find something. The water is now over there head and almost to the ceiling. Everyone has to stand on their toes to breath.
Harold: Oh this is it! Goodbye everyone! Goodbye Abigail!
Indy: Don't give up on me Ox! And watch your torch. Don't let it go out!
Abby dives one more time and sees Indy's satchel flap opening from the water, and sees the mirror.
Abby: Indy, your mirror!
Indy: What!?
Abby: Try your mirror in the hole!
Indy gets his mirror and sticks the handle part in the hole. It fits perfectly. Indy uses the side with the mirror and turns it like a tire iron. The water is above their heads now and just as everyone is nearly out of air, a hidden door opens thanks to Indy rotating the mirror handle in the small hole. The opening door starts causing the water to run out rapidly as everyone gasps for air.
Garret: You did it!
Indy: I think I'm goanna start teaching full time!
Indy spits out water and everyone goes through the door. Just a few feet ahead is a tunnel that goes in a downward slant and the water is running down it like a waterslide.
Harold: Perhaps this water leads outside.
Indy: It looks like we have no choice. I think this is our only way out!
Abby: Where going to slide out of here on these rocks?
Indy: No! Let me think.
Indy looks behind him in the room they were just in.
Indy: Stay here. I'll be right back. Garret help me out will ya?
Garret and Indy see if they can produce something to ride the rough and rocky waterslide. Harold and Abby sit down against the wall of the cave and talk.
Harold: That Indy is quite clever you know. Never a dull moment when he's around. Keeps the excitement going you know?
Abby: If you call nearly drowning, burning, falling to your death, being eating by bats and being diced by spikes exiting than I'd agree with you!
Harold: I told you to stay at home somewhere safe but as usual, you had to rebuke my decision.
Abby: My life isn't your decision. When we agreed to marry someday we said that we will always be there for each other and I am here on this journey so I can be there for you now. Don't you understand that? And this whole time I have been in many life threatening situations and all you can do is say "Indy help, Or Abby be careful."
Harold: Abby listen-
Abby: I have nothing to say to you right now.
Just than Indy and Garret come back with something like a sled covered with coats from the dead men.
Harold: What did you make that sled out of?
Indy: I'll tell you later. Right now let's get out of here!
They all hop on and start to slide down a windy, fast, and bumpy slide as everyone screams. As they race down one of the coat flaps open up revealing the skull of one of the dead men. Abby screams even louder as she realizes what they are riding on! Just ahead is a low ceiling.
Indy: Get down!
Indy pushes Abby's head right into the skulls face! They all slide a bit more and come out a hole in the bottom of the mountain and fall into a part of the river. Garret, Harold, and Abby emerge from the water but Indy still missing.
Abby: Where's Indy?
Harold: I don't know! Indy?
Garret: Indy! Where are you?
Abby: Indy!?
All of a sudden Harold sees Indy's hat floating by Abby.
Harold: Look Abby, his hat!
Abby picks up his has from the river to see a skull underneath from the dead body that made the raft! Abby screams and turns around to see Indy!
Indy: Is everyone alright?
Abby: (Sobbing) I what to go home!
Harold: Yes. Let's find a way out of here.
Indy: Garret, can you lead us back to your boat?
Garret: Yes but first I wish to stop at the nearest village. I wish to buy something.
Cut to:
Int. Inside of wagon- day
Shot of everyone in a brand new wagon much like the one Garret had before with new horses. They are heading back to where the boat is.
Harold: You know I like this wagon much better than the old one. It's much nicer and has much more room.
Indy: Yeah but it's still just as bumpy.
Garret drives the wagon to a part of the jungle and stops the wagon.
Garret: Alright friends this is your stop! Everyone out of the wagon.
Indy, Harold, and Abby get off but Garret stays on.
Abby: Aren't you coming down as well?
Garret: No my life is here…until I decide to explore another place in this great world.
Indy: What about the boat?
Garret: I want you all to have it. Sail away on the Charity. She's waiting on you and more than ready.
Indy: Thanks! I'll never forget you my friend!
Garret: And I either of you. Just take the path in the jungle we cleared earlier. You can't miss it.
Harold: Where will you travel to next when you do leave?
Garret: Perhaps one day I'll get to see the most mysterious and strange land of all.
Abby: Where is that?
Garret: The land called North America!
Indy smiles at that and Garret turns his wagon around.
Garret: Be well my friends. May god be with you all always, and at times a little rum!
Garret commands the horses with a yell and a whip of the reigns as he sets off down the road.
