INT. "THE DRAGON" NIGHTCLUB - NIGHT                           1. '''       A Chinese GONG SOUNDS and the glittering doors of an art Deco pa- poda slide open to reveal a mammoth silver stairway down which rows of beautiful women start descending  (BEGIN MAIN TITLES) The lovely ladies are a mix of races and they sing a strange, haunting melody -- one might think them a heavenly choir, if it       weren't for their sexy, clinging lame gowns. '''2.    INT. CLUB ENTRANCE                                            2. '''       From the ethereal beauties, we cut to a street urchin's dirty face: SHORT ROUND is a ten-year-old Chinese kis wearing a beat- up American baseball cap. Sneaking into the club, Short Round weaves past the fancy gowns and silk suits, heading toward the music in the main ballroom. '''3.    INT. THE BALLROOM                                             3. '''       Short Round enters and stares across the smoky nightclub. On the stage, he sees a giant paper-mache dragon laying curled around the pagoda. Now, the dragon's eyes light up, its nostrils exhale smoke and its enormous jaws open. Out of the dragon's mouth walks the star of the stage show: WILLIE SCOTT, a dreamy beauty singing a sultry solo white the or- chestra wails the accompaniment. But Short Round's not here to ogle crooning dames. He surveys the rich Chinese, American and European revelers. Jewels flash and champagne flows. Short Round finally spots a table of       somber-looking Chinese men in suits. Short Round chews gum and stares at the men. Then he turns to       go. WU HAN, a waiter with a scar across his cheek, watches Short Round leave. '''4.    INT. CLUB ENTRANCE                                           4. '''       As Short Round hurries toward the exit, he bumps into a man in a        tuxedo entering the club. Short Round looks up at the man, but we don't see his face. Then Short Round is grabbed by the scruff of his neck and a door- man hustles him out the door, Short Round yelling insults all the way. A maitre d' apologizes to the man in the tuxedo and two hat-check girls smile at him familiarly as he continues into the ballroom. We notice something incongruous: the man in the tuxedo is wear- ing work boots caked with mud. '''5.    INT. THE BALLROOM                                            5. '''       The man in the tuxedo stops to watch Willie Scott singing sexily on the stage. Then he looks around and sees the table of somber Chinese men that Short Round spotted earlier. As the man in the tuxedo walks toward the table, he removes a       cigarette from a silver case. He arrives at the table just as       the chorus and orchestra reach a crescendo -- And on the stage, a glistening, muscular slave swings a huge ham- mer toward an enormous brass gong -- The man in the tuxedo leans to receive a light from a cigarette- girl and, as the GONG BOOMS, the match flares to reveal his face for the first time: It's INDIANA JONES. Elegant in a tuxedo -- dressed to kill. The TITLES END and over this a legend appears on the screen: '''                               SHANGHAI - 1935 '''       At the table, the four Chinese man in suits stare coldly at Indi- ana. '''                                  LAO '''                      Dr. Jones. '''                                  INDIANA '''                      Lao She. '''                                  LAO '''                      Nee chin lie how ma? Lao's men laugh and assume that Indy doesn't understand his joke. '''                                  INDIANA '''                      Wah hung how, nee nah? Wah hwey hung jing chee jah loo nee kao soo wah shu shu. LAO SHE looks angry and his men's smiles fade. '''                                  LAO '''                      You never told me you spoke my                        language, Dr. Jones. '''                                  INDIANA '''                      I don't like to show off. Indiana takes a seat across the table from Shanghai's notorious crime-lord. Lao is fifty, wealthy enough to now display some fat, but still muscular from his fight to the top of the garbage heap. '''                                  LAO '''                      For this special occasion, I                        ordered champagne and caviar. Indiana looks at the pile of caviar on the plate in front of him -- and stubs his cigarette out in it. The cigarette sizzles and Lao's smiles dies with it. There's applause as Wille Scott finishes her song. At the table, Lao stares at Indiana with a strange intensity. '''                                  LAO '''                      So, it is true, Dr. Jones? you found Nurhachi? '''                                  INDIANA '''                      Sure, I found him. Then last night I had a little trouble. Somebody tried to slit my throat. Indiana looks across the table at Lao's son, CHEN, who resembles a bulldog and snarls like one now. INDIANA (Cont'd)                       It was dark, but I think one of                        your sons tried to get Nurhachi without paying for him. Indy stares pointedly at Chen's recently bandaged hand. Chen mutters and stands angrily -- Lao barks a command in Chinese and Chen sits down again. '''                                  LAO '''                      You have insulted my son. '''                                  INDIANA '''                      Next time I'll cut off more than his finger. '''                                  LAO '''                      Dr. Jones -- I want Nurhachi. Lao pulls a wad of cash out of his pocket and puts it on the table. Indiana glances at it. '''                                  INDIANA '''                      As I recall the deal was consid- erably more. Now a pretty hand slips onto Lao's shoulder and he looks up to       see Willie Scott. Lao kisses her hand. Willie is unaware of the explosive mood at the table and she smiles flirtaciously at Indi- ana. '''                                  WILLIE '''                                  (to Lao) Aren't you going to introduce us? '''                                  LAO '''                      This is Willie Scott. (watching Indy) And this is Indiana Jones, the famous archaeologist. Willie sits down between Lao and Indy. She takes out a small mirror to check her make-up. LAO (Cont'd)                       Dr. Jones found Nurhachi for me                        and is about to deliver him -- now. Lao nods across the table and Indy sees KAO KAN, Lao's second son, open his coat and remove a silver-plated pistol. Indiana looks worried. Willie doesn't notice as she fixes her make-up and coyly teases Indiana. '''                                  WILLIE '''                      Well -- I thought archaeologists were always funny little men searching for their mummies -- (yelping) Aaahhh! She looks down terrified at the knife Indy is poking against her ribs. WILLE (Cont'd)                       I was only kidding, can't you take a joke -- ? (to Lao) Lao, he's got a knife! '''                                  INDIANA '''                      Put the gun away, sonny. Kao Kan glances at his father. Lao finally nods to his son and he slips the pistol back into his pocket. '''                                  INDIANA '''                      Now I suggest you pay me what you promised -- or your girlfriend here is going to be squealing a                       new tune. The ritzy patrons at the tables nearby are unaware of the tawdry drama quietly unfolding at this table. Willie eyes the blade and whimpers. She looks imploringly at Lao and he slowly reaches into his pocket. He puts ten gold coins next to the cash on the table. Indy leans forward to look at the gold coins -- so intently that he fails to notice Kao Kan spilling some powder into Indy's cham- pagne glass! '''                                  INDIANA '''                      Try again Lao -- the deal was more. The knife pokes Willie and she whimpers again. Lao reaches into another pocket and brings out a folded piece of rice paper -- he       opens it and a large diamond and ruby spill out onto the table. INDIANA (Cont'd)                       Bingo...you see, Lao, with a                        but of persuasion, even you can be an honest fellow. Indy smiles and jabs the knife into the middle of the table. Then he lifts his champagne glass in a toast to Lao -- who watches expectantly as Indiana moves the glass toward his lips -- Suddenly Willie stands angrily, jostling Indy's arm so that he       doesn't drink his champagne. '''                                  WILLIE '''                      Look at this! He put a hole in my dress from Paris! Lao sees Indy put his champagne glass down and he snarls at Wil- lie -- '''                                  LAO '''                      Sit down! Willie quickly obeys. Lao forces a smile at Indy and lifts his glass to seal the deal -- LAO (Cont'd)                       To your health, Dr. Jones. Lao sips hs champagne and watches hopefully as Indy picks up his glass and this time Indy does drink the champagne. Then he       reaches for the cash -- But Chen grins and puts a silver snuff bottle next to the cash, gold and jewels -- he tips the little bottle over and some white powder spills out of it -- '''                                  INDIANA '''                      What's that? '''                                  LAO '''                      A bonus, Dr. Jones. That is                       poison. You just drank the rest of it. Indiana examines his champagne glass and sees a residue at the bottom of it. He swallows and feels sick, wondering it it's fear or the poison already taking effect. LAO (Cont'd)                       There is an antidote for this poison. You give me Nurhachi -- I give you the antidote. Indiana is sweating. Willie looks at him and sees Indy's hand shaking. LAO (Cont'd)                       The poison works fast, Dr. Jones. Where is Nurhachi? Indiana finally reaches into his pocket. Next to the cash, gold, jewels and poison, Indiana sets down a beautiful small box. Lao and his men stare hypnotically at the exquisite gold and enamel box. '''                                  WILLIE '''                               (nervously) This Nurhachi's a very small guy. Nobody pays any attention to her as Lao reaches for the box. '''                                  INDIANA '''                      Inside are the remains of Nur- hachi -- the first Emperor of the Manchu Dynasty. Lao opens the box carefully and stares reverently at the grey powder inside. INDIANA (Cont'd)                       Now what about the antidote, Lao. '''                                  LAO '''                            (holding the box) At last I have the ashes of my                       sacred ancestor! '''                                  WILLIE '''                      So, what's the big deal? Let me see it -- Qillie grabs Lao's arm and some of the precious ashes spill out of the gold box. Stunned by this desecration of his ancestor, Lao grabs Willie by the wrist and twists her arm -- '''                                  LAO '''                      You fool! '''                                  WILLIE '''                      Ow, you're hurting me, you miser- able little hood! '''                                  INDIANA '''                      Let go of her, Lao. And give me                       the antidote. Lao just laughs evilly -- until a waiter moves up behind Lao and the crimelord suddenly stiffens. He lets go of Willie's wrist and raises his hands off the table. Chen stops collecting the money and jewels. Kao Kan tenses and Indy smiles at Wu Han, the Chinese waiter with the scar, who is standing behind Lao. Wu Han has a towel over his hand --  under it, he has a pistol pressed against Lao's        spine. INDIANA (Cont'd)                              (smiling at Wu Han) I like the service here. '''                                  WILLIE '''                                 (puzzled) Hey, he's not a waiter... '''                                  INDIANA '''                      No, Wu Han's an old friend I                        brought along. (to Lao) So, the game's not over. Put the antidote on the table, Lao. Lao carefully reaches into his pocket and puts a small glass vial of liquid next to the cash, gold, jewels, poison and sacred box. Indy looks relieved as he reaches for the vial of antidote -- then he hears a muffled report! And another! Wu Han groans and sways. Indy starts to stand but Chen immedi- ately turns the smoking pistol with the silencer that he used to       kill Wu Han -- Indy sees it pointed at him now and he remains in        his seat. Kao Kan stands and grabs Wu Han, easing the phoney waiter into the chair he just vacated. The muffled shooting hasn't attracted any attention. The nightclub activity continues an Indy speaks emotionally to his dying friend. '''                                  INDIANA '''                      Wu Han  --  listen to me  --  I'm                        going to get you out of here. In pain, Wu Han looks at Indy and struggles to speak -- '''                                  WU HAN '''                      Not this time, my friend... (smiling bravely) I followed you on many adventures -- but into the great Unknown Mystery, I go first, Indy...       Wu Han dies and slumps forward. Indiana is shattered by the death of his old friend. '''                                  LAO '''                      Don't be sad, Dr. Jones -- you will soon join him. Indy's gaze shifts from his dead friend to Lao's sneering face. Then Indy sees the murderous Chen giggling perversely. Indy's       anger is compounded by the poison burning in his gut and his vis- ion of Chen's ugly face blurs into a double image -- Indy stands up unsteadily. Chen assumes he's about to keel over from the poison -- but Indy suddenly turns and grabs a real wai- ter at another table. The waiter holds a long skewer of roasted pigeons that he's just set afire -- Indy grabs the skewer of pigeons flambee and hurls is across the table! Chen fires and misses -- and screams as the skewer stabs into his chest and the burning pigeons flame in front of his hor- rified face! This the other tables definitely notice. There are screams and all hell breaks loose. Indiana shoves past Willie and reaches for the vial on the table -- '''                                  INDIANA '''                      The antidote -- ! But he's grabbed from behind by Kao Kan. Indy elbows the punk, reaches back and grabs his head -- and somersaults Kao Kan onto the table! As nubmer two son crashes into the table, the impact sends the Emperor Nurhachi's ashes billowing into Lao's stricken face! Indiana yells as he sees the vial of antidote rolling across the table -- and falling! Indiana dives and catches the antidote just before it hits the floor -- then Indy's hand is brutally stomped on by one of Lao's       henchmen and the vial rolls away. Indiana angrily raises his head, smashing it up into the hench- man's groin -- the man howls like a banshee and hobbles away.               Meanwhile, Willie watches Lao grabbing for cash from the table. Willie lunges past the pigeon-skewered Chen to snatch the jewels, but unfortunately Kao Kan knocks them off the table as he leaps to attack Indy. Indiana scrambles on his hands and knees after the rolling vial. People keep kicking it -- he almost has it when Willie runs into him, trips and lands on her back. '''                                  INDIANA '''                      Look out, damn it, I need that antidote! '''                                  WILLIE '''                      Who cares? Where's that diamond! Gunfire explodes and they both scramble in different directions. Indy dives through the fleeing nightclub patrons and slides be- hind a water-spewing fountain. Water kicks up as Indy is shot at       by Lao and his henchmen. Indy sees the vial of antidote kicked again and it spins across the marble floor -- feeling the poison, Indy shakes his head groddily and splashes water on his face. Meanwhile, Willie is chasing her diamond, shoving through the panicked crowd. She spots the diamond! Another elegantly dresses soman is bending to pick it up -- '''                                  WILLIE '''                             (acidly polite) Excuse me, but I believe that's                       my diamond! Willie smiles and suddenly kicks the woman in the butt! Willie reaches to get the diamond but not before the other woman tackles her. Behind the fountain, Indiana makes a break -- he runs and dives on top of a serving cart. The wheeled cart hurtles toward an un- suspecting gunman, crashes into him from behind and sends him flying head first into a row of ice buckets. Nearby, Willie slugs the other lady in the jaw and grabs for the elusive diamond just as the ice buckets showers ice across the floor -- which camouflages the diamond! '''                                  WILLIE '''                      Aw nuts! Searching desperately for the jewel, Willie sees the vial of       antidote spinning across the floor --as it slides by, she grabs it. '''                                  INDIANA (O.S.) '''                      Hey,doll! Don't move! She sees Indy speeding by atop the serving cart. Lao and his gunmen rush out to block the way. Indy rolls off the cart and slides behind a potted palm as Lao's men open fire again. INDIANA (Cont'd)                           (shouting to Willie) Hey, don't go away! I need that! Willie smiles meanly as she slips the vial down the front of her dress, thumbs her nose at Indiana and walks away. INDIANA (Cont'd)                       If I wasn't dying, I'd kill her... Hiding behind the palm tree, Indiana looks around and spots a gi- ant statue at the side of the stage. Indy makes a break for it. As the gunmen open fire, Indy springs onto a chair -- jumps onto a table -- and leaps onto the stage. He grabs the golden broad- sword from the Chinese warrior statue! As bullets smash into the statue, Indiana hides behind it. Then he jumps out and swings the large sword toward the enormous brass gong. The crimson cord holding the gong is SLASHED! Indy slings the sword at his assailants and gives the three-meter-high gong a       helpful shove -- The giant gong rolls and echoes as it crashes down the marble steps. Indiana ducks behind it as it gains momentum and rolls across the dance floor. Using the gong as an enormous shield, Indy evades the gunfire ex- ploding -- bullets ricochet off the rolling brass gong as Indy runs behind it. Ahead, Willie hurries toward an exit -- she hears something and turns -- her eyes go wide as she sees the mammoth gong bearing down on her! Willie yells as Indiana grabs her arm and pulls her behind the gong with him -- Lao watches amazed as he and his gunmen dodge tables trying to       get better firing positions -- and more henchmen come into the club now and start firing machine guns! As bullets clang against the gong, Indiana and Willie run behind it. Willie hollers as they head directly for a towering, floor- to-ceiling window! Indiana grabs Willie around the waist and, after the huge gong crashes through the stained-glass window, they both fly after it! '''6.    EXT. "THE DRAGON" NIGHTCLUB - NIGHT                          6. '''       In a shower of sparkling glass, the enormous gong sails out and crashes down a sloping green-tiled roof. Indiana Jones and Wil- lie Scott hurtle into the night air after it! The gong rolls down the roof and they hit the tiles behind it, Indiana holding onto Willie as they roll one-over-the-other toward the edge -- Willie screams as they fall into thin air! Their entwined bodies plummet three stories: ripping through a        third-floor awning, crashing through an old man's mattress on a        second-floor balcony -- Finally they smash through the convertible top of a parked Duesen- berg and fall into the back seat! '''7.    INT. THE DUESENBERG                                          7. '''       Willie sits up wide-eyed, speechless and amazed to be alive. Then she sees an equally astonished Short Round looking at them from the front seat. '''                                  SHORT ROUND '''                      Wow! Holy smoke! Crash landing!

Indiana looks less cocky as he and Willie and Short Round hold on again for dear life! The raft plunges into the roaring torrent, bouncing over rock- swollen waves, twisting and spinning through narrow gaps. The three helpless passengers are drenched in the thundering cascades of white water. Willie is hallering, Short Round hangs on wide-eyed and even Indy looks terrified as the raft crashes down the rapids. Finally, after one heart-stopping bounce, the raft seems to slow. '''36.   EXT.

Its three soaked and bedraggled passengers lie motionless in the bottom. Indy's hand drags alongside the raft, his fingers leaving a trail in the almost still water. Battered and exhausted, but always Indy's "bodyguard", Shorty looks over at him worriedly -- '''                                  SHORT ROUND '''                      Indy?

Silhoutted against the blazing sun, the skin- ny little old man in a loincoloth stares down at them in the raft. An eerie wind rises and howls. The old man places his palms to- gether and moves his hands up to touch his forehead. Willie and Short Round watch mystified as Indiana returns the old shaman's       silent greeting.

A desolate road runs through the village, along which groups of ptiifully poor vil- lagers stare at the strangers being brought in. Hopeless women lift buckets from a dry well -- finding only sand. Skinny miserable dogs skulk between the decrepit village huts, eyed by the patient vultures lurling in scraggly trees. Indiana notices the wretched peasants staring at Short Round, some of them pointing at him, a few haggard women shedding tears down their wrinkled faces as the little Chinese boy passes. There is no sign of children in the village and Short Round grows frightened by the odd attention. He moves closer to Indy as they pass the devastated population.

Above their heads, there is a thatched roof, but there are no       walls. The dying sunset silhouettes them and the half-dozen elders seat- ed in the dirt around them. A grey-haired man, the village CHIEFTAIN, gives quiet commands to the women who scuttle in and set wooden plates in front of the three visitors. No plates are places in front of the elders.

Indiana sees the painted shaman, who sits next to the chieftain, watching Willie. The women bring in a bowl from which they scoop tiny portions of grey gruel onto three plates. To this the women add a few grains of yellowed rice and a with- ered ,molding piece of fruit. Willie looks aghast at the unappe- tizing combination.

The niche is       empty but an indentation indicates the conical shape of the stone that was stolen. '''                                  INDIANA '''                      Was the stone very smooth?

In       the shady river beneath, Willie surfaces cooly and wipes hair from her eyes. She hums contendedly. Indiana wanders up the riverbank in his dripping trousers.

Willie watches Indiana walk away as she reaches up for her dress -- her hands feel something strange -- not the dress and not the tree limb -- Willie looks up and sees that she's pulling on a snake! She SCREAMS as the boa constrictor falls off the t-ee on top of her! Indy hears the scream and hears Willie calling to him. He runs back toward the river.

Indy watches her pull her dried clothes from the lower branches. She reaches up to remove another piece of her clothing -- it's       stuck to the tree and she looks up and yanks it. Suddenly the piece of clothing moves! Two enormous winds open and the hideous face of a GIANT BAT screeches and hisses at Willie! She screams hysterically as the bat flaps against her, biting and scratching at her before it fi- nally takes off. The bat flies off into the darkness and Indy chuckles as he       watches Willie shanking as she backs slowly toward the fire -- '''                                  WILLIE '''                      Did you see it?!

Indiana watches her lie down and wrap herself in her blanket. then he rolls over and tips his hat down over his eyes to get some well-deserved shut-eye. In a moment, however, we see something grotesque and snake-like slide into frame and move towards Indy -- finally, we realize it's an elephant's trunk. The trunk nudges Indy's shoulder.

Now, we see that Short Round is guiding the baby elephant's trunk with a prod. Willie watches, stifling a laugh as the elephant's       trunk sniffs Indiana's ear -- INDIANA (Cont'd)                       You're going to start something I'm going to have to finish. (moaning) Okay, doll, you asked for it. Indiana rolls over, lifts his hat and hollers! He nearly jumps out of his pants as he stares into the elephant's trunk.

Indiana jumps down an joins the fearful guide. They stare at a small statue of a malevolent goddess with eight arms. Around the goddess's neck, a carved necklace displays small human heads -- her eight hands hold other heads by their hair. Indiana moves closer to the statue as the terrified guide backs away. Indy is fascinated by the ritual objects adorning it: leaves, dead birds, rodents and turtles. Indiana grimaces as he       lifts a necklace of real pierced human fingers...

Lined along the bridge, palace guards stand with lances. As the threesome passes, the first Rajput guard snaps noisily to       attention and Willie jumps. As Willie continues across the bridge, the other guards snap to attention in sequence and she grins, enjoying the attention. '''58.   INT. THE OUTER COURTYARD                                     58.

Fountains spray in       ivory countyards and they gaze in awe at the ornate splendour. As Willie walks with Shorty she appraises the chronolgoical portraits of the Pankot Prices that line the hall.

As everyone stands around the table, Chattar Lal makes an an- nouncement in Hindi and then in English -- '''                                  CHATTAR LAL '''                      His Supremem Highness, guardian of                        Rajput tradition -- the Maharajah of Pankot -- Zalim Singh. All eyes are on two solid silver doors which open -- and through which now walks the MAHARAJAH ZALIM SINGH. Everyone is bowing, including Indiana and Willie, who looks amazed -- '''                                  WILLIE '''                      That's the Maharajah -- that kid?! '''                                  INDIANA '''                      Maybe he likes older women. Indeed, Zalim Singh is only thirteen. Outfitted in silver and gold brocade, festooned with enormous jewels, the litlle Mahara- jah gazes imperiously at the bowing crowd -- and then glares at       Short Round. Indy sees Short Round chewing gum, staring antagonistically at       the Maharajah. Indy pushes SHort Round into a bowing position. The Maharajah finally sits down on golden pillows. He nods and his guests take their seats. Indiana sees Willie's dreams of       queendom have vanished. '''                                  INDIANA '''                      Cheer up, you lost your prince, but dinner's on the way. '''                                  WILLIE '''                      I've never been so hungry in my                        life...        Servants appear with silver platters of steaming food. They place a platter in front of Willie and she stares at it in amaze- ment: It's a whole raosted boar, replete with a decorative arrow pierc- ing its bloated stomach and tiny broiled baby bores placed around it as if they were suckling on their well-cooked mother. '''                                  WILLIE '''                                (grimacing) My god, sort of grusome, isn't                       it...? Seeing the meat being served, Indiana looks across the table at       Blumburtt who seems equally puzzled. Meanwhile, the little Maha- rajah whispers to his Prime Minsiter. Then Chattar Lal speaks to       the table -- '''                                  CHATTAR LAL '''                      His Highness wants me to welcome his visitors. Especially the renowned Dr. Jones from America. Indy bows slightly toward the Maharajah. '''                                  INDIANA '''                      We are honored to be here. Servants put down another platter. Willie stares at an enormous steaming boa constrictor on the platter. With a flash of a       knife, a servant slits the huge snake and exposes a mass of        squirming, live baby eels inside... '''                                  WILLIE '''                      Suddenly I'm not so hungry...        Meanwhile, Indiana is chatting poleitely with the Prime Minister. '''                                  INDIANA '''                      I had a question, Mr. Prime Mini- ster. I was examining some of the Maharajah's artifacts. '''                                  CHATTAR LAL '''                      A very fine collection of very old pieces, don't you think? '''                                  INDIANA '''                      Yes, very fine. But not all of the pieces look old. Some were carved recently and look like images used by the Thuggees to worship the god- des Kali. At the emntion of the Thuggees, the Indians at the table quiet, as it a taboo has been broken. Chattar Lal glares at Indiana. '''                                  CHATTAR LAL '''                      Dr. Jones, you know very well that the Thuggee cult has been dead for nearly a century. '''                                  CAPT. BLUMBURTT '''                      Of course. The Thuggees were an                       obscenity that worshipped Kali with human sacrifices. The Brit- ish Army wiped them out about the time of the Mutiny of 1857. Short Round avoids the dinner by feeding it to his little monkey as he listens to the scary conversation. The talk is bad enough, but Willie finds the food unbelievable! A servant leans overher shoulder and places a six-inch long BUG on her plate! Willie whimpers quietly as she watches the fat merchant next to       her lift one of the black, shiny baked-beetles -- and crack it in        two! The man proceeds to enthusiastically suck the gooey innards out. '''                                  MERCHANT '''                             (looking at Willie) But you're not eating!

'''                                  INDIANA '''                      I suppose stories of the Thuggees die hard. '''                                  CHATTAR LAL '''                      There are no stories anymore. '''                                  INDIANA '''                      Well, I don't know... we came here from a small village and the peas- ants there told us that the Pankot Palace was growing powerful again -- becuase of some ancient evil. Indiana smiles and shrugs. '''                                  CHATTAR LAL '''                                 (sneeringly) Their stories are just fear and folklore. '''                                  INDIANA '''                                  (cooly) Maybe.. but how do you explain The Thuggee shrine I saw right below the palace? Indy catches a glance between the little Maharajah and the prime minister, who answers slowly -- '''                                  CHATTAR LAL '''                      The local peasants are just as                        superstitious. You're very ob- servant, Dr. Jones. But you're                       beginning to worry Capt. Blum- burtt. Blumburtt's phlegmatic attitude has changed to curiosity. '''                                  CAPT. BLUMBURTT '''                      I'm not worried, Prime Minister, just interested. During their conversation, Willie listens to beetles SNAPPING and she watches revolted as the other dinner guests suck the gooey insides out of the bugs. '''                                  WILLIE '''                            (to Short Round) Give me your hat... '''                                  SHORT ROUND '''                      What for?

'''                                  INDIANA '''                      You know the villagers also claimed that this palace stole something from them. '''                                  CHATTAR LAL '''                      Dr. Jones, it our country a guest does not usually insult his host. '''                                  INDIANA '''                      Sorry, I thought we were just talking about folklore. '''                                  CAPT. BLUMBURTT '''                          (trying to make peace) I'm sure it's nothing. Just ru- mors. (but interested) What was it they claimed was stolen? '''                                  INDIANA '''                      Something magical. A sacred rock. '''                                  CHATTAR LAL '''                                (condescendingly) There, you see, Captain. A rock!

Across the table, Willie looks pale and motions to the waiter. '''                                  WILLIE '''                      So you have something, you know, simple -- like soup or something? The servant goes off and returns with a covered bowl. He uncov- ers it and Willie looks at a soup with a dozen eyeballs floating in it. '''                                  MERCHANT '''                      Looks delicious! '''                                  WILLIE '''                      I wanna go home...

Then something connected -- the village's rock and the old legend of the Sankara Stones... '''                                  CHATTAR LAL '''                           (controlling himself) Dr. Jones, we are all vulnerable to vicious rumors.

'''                                  MAHARAJAH '''                      I have heard the terrible stories of the evil Thuggee cult... When the little Marahajah speaks it surprises everyone and there is silence. MAHARAJAH (Cont'd)                       I thought the stories were told to frighten children. Later, I                       learned that the Thuggee cult was once real and did unspeakable things. The Marahajah looks at Indiana. MAHARAJAH (Cont'd)                       I am ashamed of what happened here so many years ago. We keep these objects -- to remind us that this will never again happen in my                       kingdom!

Willie closed here eyes in dread - but curiosity gets the best of her and she looks -- it's worse than she could imagine: Plates full of small, dead monkey heads! (*Production note: be-       cause of his extremely sensitive nature, the director has reque-        ted that these monkey heads be simulated). The tops of the monkey's skulls have been cut off and sit loose like little covers. Willie watches in utter dismay as the Maha- rajah and his guests remove the skull-tops and start dipping spoons into what's inside -- MERCHANT (Cont'd)                       Chilled monkey brains! Willie keels over, crashing backwards in a dead faint! '''                                                              CUT TO:  62.   INT. A PALACE HALL - LATER                                   62.

'''       Hundreds of lanters illuminate the garden where after dinner drinks are served, cigars lighted and hookah pipes puffed on. Indiana comes out of the pavilion into the garden with Capt. Blumburtt and they talk quietly. '''                                  CAPT. BLUMBURTT '''                      Rather bizarre menu, woundn't you say?

(looking around) Makes you wonder what these people are... Now, the little Maharajah comes over with his retinue and he       reaches for Indy's whip which Short Round is carrying. '''                                  MAHARAJAH '''                      I have seen this thing. What is                       it, Dr. Jones? '''                                  SHORT ROUND '''                      Hey, nobody touches Indy's whip! Short Round grabs for it, but Indiana restrains him. '''                                  INDIANA '''                      We're guests here, Shorty. The Maharajah glares are Short Round and five the whip to Indy. '''                                  MAHARAJAH '''                      You will show me how it works please. Indy bows to the little prince and smiles ironically -- '''                                  INDIANA '''                      You wish is my command, your Highness. While Short Round watches angrily, Indiana walks across the gar- den and unfurls the whip. Indy sees a servant lighting a candle. Suddenly the whip flies and CRACKS like a pistol shot. The candle disappears! Indiana whirls and CRACKS the whip again, snagging a flower out of a dancing girl's hair. The Maharajah reacts like any kid -- he shoops happily. '''                                  MAHARAJAH '''                      That is wonderful! Please teach me how! Short Round sulks as he listens to Indiana instructing the Maha- rajah on how to hold the whip. As the young prince practises the grip, Indy notices Chattar Lal slip behind a fountain to talk to       a dark figure in robes who appears. Indiana sees Chattar Lal bow to the dark figure -- and Indy catches a glimpse of the stranger's pale face and dark hollow eyes. Then the robled apparition seems to disappear. Meanwhile everyone watches respectfully as the Maharajah unfurls the whip for his first attempt. He flings the whip but it flies back and snaps -- biting his own  cheek. There's a stunned silence -- then Short Round laughs at the little prince who is holding his wounded cheek. The incensed Ma- rahajah suddenly flashes the whip as Short Round. Short Round grabs the end of it and pulls hard -- the whip is       tugged taut between the two hostile boys. As they draw near each other, Short Round sees something weird: The little Maharajah's eyes begin glowing yelloe and he hisses softly in a strange voice. Nobody else sees or hears the bizarre transformation...       Indiana finally intercedes -- he grabs Short Round by the neck. '''                                  INDIANA '''                      Okay, Short Round, let go of it. Short Round lets go and Indy gently takes the whip back from the little prince. INDIANA (Cont'd)                       The Turks say that a whip can be                        an enemy even to its owner. If                       you get some rope, it'll be easier to learn with, your Highness. Now, I think we'll say goodnight. The Maharajah and Short Round stare hostiley at each other as       Indy recoils his whip. '''                                                              CUT TO:  64.   INT.

Short Round shakes his head scornfully as Indy crosses the hall and knocks on another door. After a moment, the door opens and Willie is standing there in a tempting nightgown. '''                                  INDIANA '''                      I brought you something. He holds up something wrapped in a piece of silk.

Indy finally shakes his head and gives in to his animal instincts. He buttons his shirt, puts his boots back on and grabs his leather jacket. As he puts on his jacket he walks past the life-sized paintings of       armed gaurds standing in silent vigil. Suddenly we see something frightening behind him: one of the wall paintings sees to come to life! A large figure in robes and a turban looms out from the wall and lifts a silk cord -- the figure wraps the cord suddenly around Indiana's neck! The huge assassin stands behind Indy, twisting the cord even tighter around his neck. As Indy attempts to break free he       sees the assassin's face is a mirror -- and a strange yellow light glowing in the killer's eyes. '''72.   INT.

The assassin maintains his deathgrip -- while on the chaise, Short Round sleeps through it all! Gasping futilely for air, Indy sinks slowly to his knees - his eyes bulge and he stares at the tiny, smiling skulls at the ends of the death-cord wrapped around the assassin's fists. Indiana sinks lower and then feels something -- desperately he       grabs a brass pot on the floor by the handle and swings it with his last strength, smashing it up into the assassin's head with a skull-crushing clang! The assassin is stunned and Indiana curls forward pulling him into a somersault and sening him flying over his back. The ass- assin crashes on his sping next to the chaise. Short Round still doesn't wake up. Indiana rips the cord from around his neck and gasps for breath. He sees the assassin pulling a knife. Indiana dives as the knife flies through the air and slams into the wall. Indiana grabs his whip, rolls and lands on his feet. As the ass- assin tries to retreat, Indy unleashes his whip -- it CRACKS and wraps around the killer's neck. The big man struggles, pulling on the whip, trying to release it       from his throat -- and Indiana holds fast, watching the killer gasping for air now as his face turns red. Suddenly the assassin does a full-blown backward sommersault which rips the whip out of Indy's hand. The assassin has an in- stant to grin victoriously -- Until he sees that the whip handle is arching toward the ceiling where is gets caught on the revolving fan! The surprised assass- in it tugged upwards -- and the whip twists around the ceiling fan like fishing-line around a fishing-reel-- And like a doomed flounder, the assassin is slowly reeled up and dragged toward the ceiling, his toes lifting off the floor. The assassin screams as he is hanged! His legs twitch in       his death throes -- and below him, Short Round finally wakes up. Always Indiana's protector, Shorty instictively leaps off the couch and draws a small dagger -- '''                                  SHORT ROUND '''                      Don't worry, Indy!

She's lying in bed looking down at something -- Moving up her shapely leg, a green and black, monstrous-looking insect crawls onto her stomach and Willie stops breather. Immo- bilized by fear, Willie watches in silent agony as the hideous insect climbs slowly up her breast and slithers toward her neck. Across the suite, the doors burst open and Indiana rushes in. Shorty is behind him, carrying Indy's whip. Indiana leaps on a       stools and slides up to the bed to save WIllie -- Then he spots the giant insect crawling on her and decides to       have some fun.

Puzzled, they wander toward the wall, leaving Willie behind, bathed in sweat, staring at the ceiling -- '''                                  WILLIE '''                      What did I do to deserve this trip?!

Indiana lifts the statue -- and a panel in the wall opens slow- ly. Short Round looks amazed. Indy watches the light fall across the far wall of a tunnel as the door opens slowly. Indy peers into the tunnel at an old wall painting. Spiderly San- skrit calligraphy runs under a flanking illustration of a prince bowing before a god.

Indiana follows a curve in the tunnel and they see light approaching. The wind holws another dramatic note which gales past them as       they reach the mouth of the tunnel. Indiana is joined by Willie and Short Round. They all stop in       astonishment at the sight below them: '''95.   INT. THE TEMPLE OF DEATH                                     95. '''       As the camera pulls back,  the mouth of the wind tunnel in which they are standing becomes just a small hole overlooking the stag- gering vastness of the incredible TEMPLE OF DEATH. The colossal subterranean temple has been carved out of a solid mass of rock. A vaulting cathedral-like ceiling is supported by       rows of carved stone columns. Balconies overlook the temple floor. Pillared halls leading to       dark side chambers. Moving out of these chambers, hundreds of       faithful worshippers chant as they enter the temple. Mammoth stone statues of elephants, lions and demi-gods (half/man,       half/animal monstrosities) loom above the swelling crowds or wor- shippers. As the wind howls out of the tunnel high above the temple, the worshippers chant in response to the strange tunnel music. '''96.   INT. THE TUNNEL                                              96. '''       The moaning wind rushes past Indiana, Willie and Short Round as        they watch the mystery cult below bowing toward an enormous altar at the far end of the temple. This altar is a platform jutting out from the stone wall of the cavern. Separating the worshippers from this altar is a wide crevasse out of which wisps of smoke rise occasionally. '''97.   INT.

The priests carry smoke-billowing urns to a giant stone statue. Now, we see the hideous protectress of the temple, the obscenely malevolent ombect of the cult's devotion: the bloodthirsty god- dess KALI! The red-eyed priests bow at the base of the statue and gaze reverently at their KALI MA. Skulls surround her stone feet carved serpents twist up her legs, while around her waist there is a guresome belt of human hands. Naked to the hips, Kali's hair falls about her four arms. In her hand, she holds a sword, in the second the severed head of a       giant.With her other hands she encourages her worshipers, who are chanting louder and louder! Kali's face is loathsome: her earrings are two corpses. Her evil tongue extends out of her twisted mouth and what looks like read blood flows over her long fangs and down her naked breasts. '''98.

This is MOLA RAM, the High Priest of the Thugge cult. Mola Ram's red-rimmed eyes glare from the sunken sockets in his sinister face. Here is a man who looks as vile and diabolic as the unholy goddess rising behind him. Up in the wind tunnel, Indy stares down at the High Priest and realizes that is was Mola Ram he saw conferring with Chattar Lal in the palace garden. As the drum booms three times more, Mola Ram lifts one arm up from his emaciated body and suddenly there is a scream! All heads turn toward an unfortunate, struggling Indian begin dragged out by priests. The man's face and body are wildly painted. He screams again as he's tied onto a square iron frame laying atop a large flat stone. Mola Ram steps forward to the stretched-out victim and the Indian looks up into the High Priest's grotesque face -- Suddenly Mola Ram's hand shoots out toward the man's chest -- and pierces it! The High Priests hand sinks into the victim's       writing body and rips out his living heart! '''100.  INT. THE WIND TUNNEL                                          100.

The man thrashes about helplessly on the iron frame as it is up       ended and then lowered with the victim hanging face down -- As the sacrificial victim looks down into the crevasse below -- he screams -- and we see the molten lava bubbling crimson at the bottom of the chasm!

The three Sankara stones start to glow and Indiana approaches them cautiously. Reaching the stones, Indy's face is lighted by them. He notices that one of them (sthe stone from Mayapore village) has strange lines painted across it. Suspiciously, Indy touches the stone, but it doesn't burn. He       lifts it carefully and peers into it. The enormous diamond sparkles inside. He places the stone in his shoulder bag and reaches for the others. '''117.  INT. THE WIND TUNNEL                                         117. '''       Short Round and Willie watch apprehensively as Indiana bags the three stones. '''118.  INT.

He turns and is about to go when he       hears something -- It sounds like a voice and Indy is afraid to turn -- could it be       Kali? The he hears other noises echoing and turns slowly. Real- alizing the sounds are coming from behind the altar, Indy moves around it toward the back. '''119.  INT. THE WIND TUNNEL                                         119.

Short Round looks worried. Then the wind rushes past them quickly and howls its somber musical note. However, the wind sounds dif- ferent this time, its tone quavering slightly. Short Round is puzzled and looks around. He feeezes when he sees two shadowy figures coming down the tunnel toward them -- the bodies causing the tone of the wind to shift eerily -- Willie notices Short Round pulling a dagger from his belt - '''                                  WILLIE '''                      What're you -- ? Suddenly she turns and screams as two huge Thuggee guards rush at them! One grabs at Short Round but the kid slashes the guard's hand with his dagger. Willie tries to get past the other guard, but he snatches her by       the arm and pulls her toward him -- from her training at the Col- lege of Hard Knocks, Willie successfully knees the big man in the balls. WILLIE (Cont'd)                       Keep your paws off, letch! The man groans and sinks to his knees. Willie sees that Short Round is in trouble. She runs over, leaps onto the back of the other guard and starts ripping his hair out. Short Round picks up his fallen dagger. The big guard lurches backwards and smashes Willie into the rocky wall of the tunnel. Willie falls to the floor. Short Round approaches, holding the man at bay with his dagger. Willie turns as the other guard, the one she kneed, crawls toward her -- Willie scoops up some dirt and throws it. The man claws at his eyes and Willie jumps up. '''                                  SHORT ROUND '''                      Run Willie! Willie starts to run and Short Round backs away, keeping the guard at a distance with his dagger. Suddenly the guard cries out in Hindi and dives at Short Round. Panicking, Shorty tries to run after Willie -- but he's tripped. The guard has Short Round by the foot and drags him back. Willie looks around and stops running. She sees Short Round is caught. SHORT ROUND (Cont'd)                       No! Run! Go get help! Willie hesitates, then runs down the tunnel. Meanwhile, a mam- moth hand clutches Short Round's throat -- the giant guard lifts Shorty completely off the ground and the kid looks terrified and helpless as he dangles in the air... '''120. INT. CHAMBER BEHIND ALTAR                                    120. '''       Indiana enters the dark chamber behind the altar. The only il- lumination is the back-light streaming around the silhouetted statue of Kali. Indy slowly crosses a narrow stone bridge and moves toward a cy- lindrical shaft of light rising up from what appears to be an       enormous hole. Indy hears voices and the clink of metal against rock as he con- tinues forward. The ground is dark in front of the large hole. He edges toward the precipice and the light rising up illuminates the look of shock on his face as he peers down into Hell... '''121. INT. THE THUGGEE MINES                                       121. '''       Indy looks into a deep pit around which concentric paths leads off into numerous narrow tunnels. Crawling out of these burrows, scrawny children drag sacks of dirt and rock. Other hollow-eyed children pull these sacks to mine cars waiting on rails. Straining to lift the rocks into the mine cars, several of the children slip and fall. Bare-chested Thuggee guards shout at the enslaves children and kick those who've fallen. For these children there would seem to be only one hope -- death -- an end to their travail. Indiana edges around the hole, looking into the ghastly mine and feeling as if he's discovered an inferno of misery as grotesque as Dante's.       Indy shifts the bag of stones on his shoulder. He hesitates and considers his choice: he has the Sankara Stones and can leave with them now... But Indy hears the pleading cries of one child and peers down to       see a burly Thuggee guard beating the pitiful little slave. Indy gets angrier and angrier as he watches. He finally steps over the grabs a boulder. He lifts it and flings it down into the mine -- '''122.  INT. THE MINE                                                122.

He smiles victoriously at the Thuggees below who've run over to       see what happened. Indy's smile seems to fade as his anger turns to surprise as he       feels something unnerving: Dirt is crumbling away from the rim of the hole, a small landslide starting beneath his feet. Suddenly the floor gives way and Indy slips! The entire rim of the hole shears off and Indy topples with it       and plunges down into the mine toward the assembled guards who scatter -- Indy yells as he falls and it echoes... '''                                                              CUT TO:  124.  INT. A CELL - NIGHT                                          124. '''       Indiana's yell continues to echo -- his head jerks suddenly -- Indy jolts awake as if coming out of a nightmare, awakened by his own reverberating shout. Indy is lying on the rocky floor of a dark cave/cell. He lifts his hands and discovers that they are chained. In the murky light, he sees Short Round sitting in chains across the cell. '''                                  SHORT ROUND '''                      Indy -- you knocked out when you fall. You okay? Indiana nods groggily. He sees a young slave worker in rags sit- ting near Short Round. Through the iron bars of the cell, Indy sees the children slaving in the mine tunnels.

MOLA RAM'S CHAMBER                                      126. '''       Indiana and Short Round stumble into the chamber. It is a terri- fying gallery of occult yantras, ritualistic statues and grisly icons of the evil Thuggee sect. Grotesque statues of Kali's baleful minions line the walls. In a       corner, there is another statue of Kali herself, draped with flowers, necklaces of real human skills and slithering belts of       live snakes. Fresh blood has been splashed over the statue and at its base are the three Sankara Stones recovered from Indiana. Mola Ram sits in a yoga position near the statue of Kali. Mola Ram opens his eyes and he sees Indiana and Short Round standing in chains before him. '''                                  MOLA RAM '''                      You were caught trying to steal the Sankara Stones.

Mola Ram stands and gazes transfixed at the stones glowing on the altar. '''                                  MOLA RAM '''                      There were five stones in the beginning. Over the centuries they were dispersed by wars, sold off by thieves like you... '''                                  INDIANA '''                      Two are still missing.

A century ago when the British raided this temple and butchered my people, a loyal priest his the last two stones down here in the catacombs. '''                                  INDIANA '''                      That's what you've got these chil- dren -- these slaves digging for?

Soon we will have all five Sankara Stones and the Thuggees will be all powerful!

The door opens and Mola Ram bows slightly as the little Maharajah enters. Indy looks surprised and Short Round tenses. MOLA RAM (Cont'd)                       Your Highness will witness the thief's conversion. Mola Ram nods and two guards grab Indy. They drag him struggling to a rock and chain him to it. Short Round scuffles as he's       pulled aside to watch. Remembering the High Priest's earlier open-heart surgery, Indi- ana looks worried as Mola Ram approaches him -- '''                                  MAHARAJAH '''                      You will not suffer. I recently became of age and tasted the blood of Kali. Now the young initiate comes forward and Indiana looks startled -- it's Nainsukh. He is wearing robes and his eyes are glowing strangely. Nainsukh hands Mola Ram a hollow human skull full of       blood! The guards hold Indiana's head back and force his mouth open. Mola Ram tips the skull and blood spills out of its death- grinning jaws and flows into Indiana's mouth. Indy gags -- Suddenly he spits the blood, spraying Mola Ram and the little Maharajah. Looking at his blood-splattered clothes, the Mahara- jah is furious. '''                                  MOLA RAM '''                      Hold him! The little prince's eyes glow angrily and he hisses at Indy -- '''                                  MAHARAJAH '''                      You will learn to obey because you are powerless! The little Maharajah pulls a small krtya from his robes -- Indy sees that the doll has been crudely fashioned to resemble him. MAHARAJAH (Cont'd)                       I control you now! The Maharajah turns and sticks the doll into a flaming urn. In- diana suddenly cries out and twists in pain as he is burned! The little prince smiles evilly and puts the doll back into his robes. Then he goes over to where Indy's whip and bag have been laid. He grabs the bullwhip. MAHARAJAH (Cont'd)                       You told me that a whip could be                        an enemy to its owner. We shall see! Turn him over! As the guards turn Indy face down, they rip off his jacket and chain his ahnds to the rock. The Maharajah uncurls the whip -- he       notices Short Round smiling snidely -- Suddenly the Maharajah cracks the whip -- it lashes out and cuts into Short Round's shoulder. Blood appears and Short Round looks stunned by the lash and by the fact the Marahajah knows who to       use the whip. MAHARAJAH (Cont'd)                       As Dr. Jones suggested, I have been practicing. The little Maharajah whirls and lashes the whip again. Indiana jerks as the bullwhip rips through his shirt and tears open his flesh. The Maharajah lashes again and again -- blood spurts across Indy's tattered shirt. As the whipping continues- Short Round jumps as if he is also be- ing beaten. His eyes fill with tears as he watches Indy suffer. Finally, the little Maharajah lets the whip fall limp. As the Maharajah approaches Indy, Short Round lunges as him angrily but the guards restrain him. Indiana groans as he's turned over. Blood trickles from his mouth and he stares up hatefully at Mola Ram. '''                                  MOLA RAM '''                      The British in India will be                        slaughtered. Then we will over- run the Moslems and force their "Allah" to bow to Kali. Mola Ram is once again given the human skull by a priest and he       lifts it toward Indy's face -- MOLA RAM (Cont'd)                       And then the Hebrew God will fall and finally the Christian God will be cast down and forgotten. Indy's head is held back and Mola Ram spills the blood -- it       flows out of the mouth of the skull into Indy's mouth. MOLA RAM (Cont'd)                       Soon Kali Ma will rule the world! Indy's eyes look horrified as the blood flows from the skull down his choking throat -- some of the blood spills and falls to the floor -- We see the very earth trembling as the evil spreads -- a fissure appears beneath Indy's feet and a small line of crimson lava oozes out and smiles evilly across the floor...

Suddenly the brids shriek and flap away -- Willie stumbles through the secret door and falls into the room. Insects cover her and she shimpers as she knocks them off. She manages to stagger to her feet and she heads for the door. '''128.  INT. THE PALACE - NIGHT                                      128.

She stops by a courtyard and calls out desperately, but there is       no one around. She backs away down a hallway and then jumps -- seeing something in a mirror: a face looms behind her and she screams! Willie whirls and sees Chattar Lal, the Prime Minister, approach- ing her.

Mola Ram materializes evilly amidst the swirling smoke and he       begins chanting in Sanskrit. Beside the altar, half-clad female acolytes pass in front of the robed priests -- with their fingers the women paint two white lines across the priests' foreheads. An acolyte moves in front of Chattar Lal -- the Prime Minister is       now dressed in robes. As the devotional markings are painted on       his forehead, Chattar Lal translates the High Priest's speech to        Indiana who stands next to him.

A FAT GUARD slouches down the tunnel, flogging malingerers with a aleather strap. Short Round sweats next to the others, clawing at the rocks, doomed to work with them now in their search for the last wo       Sankara Stones. The leather strap suddenly flays Short Round's back and he barely manages not to scream out in pain. The fat guard passes -- Short Round and the other kids pull a large rock which suddenly comes loose out of the wall -- ! They fall back and see they've exposed a vein of molten lava! Hearing their shouts, the fat guard returns -- yelling at their stupidity, he whips them and shoves them aside brutally. Short Round see the fat guard's eyes glowing fiercely in anger. Suddenly the fissure shoots out steam and spews some molten lava over the guard's legs. The guard screams and falls to the ground, thrashing about, try- ing to kick the searing lava off his smoking flesh. As the other kids cower, Short Round's humane instincts cause him to jump forward to help the guard who moments earlier was beating him -- Short Round tosses dirt on the guard's legs and grabs a gunny sack and starts rubbing the lava off. Shorty notices something strange: The guard's eyes, which were glowing yellow before, are now dim- ming and returning to normal. The moaning guard looks at Shorty thankfully and then looks around as if waking from a nightmare -- '''                                  SHORT ROUND '''                             (to another slave kid) His eyes -- they go out.

Short Round is shoved against a wall and groans -- he reaches over and grabs a large rock, lifting it defiantly -- But rather than heaving it at the guard, Short Round smashes the rock down on the leg chains binding him to the other children. Shorty beats at the chain with the rock, determined to escape. '''                                  SHORT ROUND '''                      Indy! '''136.  INT.

Dressed in a Rajput maiden's outfit, Willie has been jewel- ed and draped with flowers -- a strange contrast as she struggles desperately.

The guard lumbers past unsuspectingly as Short Round makes his escape using the moving mine car as cover. '''139.  INT. THE ALTAR                                               139.

Short Round looks up the high ladder and sees a kid with a sack of rocks descending from a burrow-hole half-way up the wall. The exhausted kid nearly collapses at the bottom -- then jumps seeing Short Round. Shorty motions for him to keep quiet. Amaxed, the kid watches Short Round scramble up the ladder. Shorty continues until he is high above the floor. Dirty faces stare out of the high burrow as Short Round stops climbing. The kids are astonished as Short Round suddenly grunts and kicks the ladder away from the wall! The high ladder falls in an arc and what seem like sure suicide slowly resembles a mini-Indiana Junes stunt as Short Round swings to the other side of the falling ladder -- Short Round holds on for dear life as the ladder crashes against the opposite cavern wall -- giving Short Round access to the roof-hole that leads up to the temple! Short Round scurries up the ladder and pulls himself up into the chamber behind the altar.

Seeing him coming, Indy's eyes start glowing yellow and when Short Round runs up to him, Indiana suddenly swings and backhands the little guy brutally across the face! The torch flies out of Shorty's hand as he's knocked against at       wall by Indy's vicious blow -- Short Round wipes a little blood from his chin and stares at his hero in wounded disbelief.

Indiana spins Short Round and clutches his throat. As Indy strangles him, Short Round struggles and finally jams the torch into Indy's side.

Indiana springs into action, stopping another priest with a quick punch in the stomach. Then he rushes over to the crankwheel and pulley platform. Indy jumps onto it, yanking one priest off who spills onto the floor. A second priest, who works the controls lowering the sacrificial frame, sees Indy and releases the crankwheel -- Down in the crevasse, Willie screams as the iron frame suddenly plummets toward the fulminating lava! On the platform, the priest lunges at Indiana -- Indy uses the man's own momentum to throw him over his head. Indy then dives for the crankwheel and manages to stop it -- Down in the crevasse, the fram jolts to a stop only yards above the spumes of fiery lava.

Emaciated children (still unaware of the re-       volt and the other childrens' escape) break their backs shoving the heavily-loaded mine cars. Thuggee guards supervise the deadening work, while others oper- ate the pulley-and-hoist system used to drag the cars up the sloped dump ramp. Behind this operation, a thunderous waterfall cascades into a       huge cistern. From there, chutes deply the rushing water to       power the large conveyor belt below it. As the cars rise up the ramp, they tip and spill rocks onto the conveyor belt which carries them toward an awesome stone cylinder that rolls relentlessly, crushing the rocks into sand. From the side tunnel, Indiana watches the noisy operation.

He pushes Short Round who darts out after a mine car roars past and dodges across the tracks before the next one descends.

Willie sees a rock-filled car blasting down out of a tunnel directly toward her! Indiana dives, knocking Willie safely to the ground on the other side of the tracks -- the heavy car hurtles past and crashes into the cars in front. Indy pulls Willie behind a massive wooden post holding up the dump ramp and they hide from a passing gaurd.

They see Indy put his hand over the kid's mouth and whisper to       him. He releases the kid who sneaks away, alerting the other children who start making their escapes into side tunnels. Now Indy motions to Short Rounds and Willie to follow.

'''                                  INDIANA '''                      I see the problem... Indiana suddenly punches the giant in the stomach -- the giant does not flinch, he just belches rudely. Indiana growls and winds up to take a killer swing -- he steps back, cocks his arm -- and suddenly turns and runs away. No dummy, Indy dashes over and picks up a piece of wood. The giant starts toward him. Indy drops the wood and looks around for a much larger piece of wood. As the giant stalks toward him, Indiana raises the large piece of       lumber -- Indy suddenly groans, drops the wood and clutches his stomach. Willie and Short Round looks startled -- '''                                  WILLIE '''                      What happened? Short Round shakes his head. They see Indy recover from the spasm as the giant rushes him. Indy jumps aside, landing on a       loaded mine car that is passing by. The car is being dragged up the dump ramp and the giant jumps out onto it after Indiana. Indy quickly grabs a rock and, as the giant rushes him, Indy smashes the rock against the big man's       skull! Unfortunately, it's the rock that shatters and not the skull. Indy dives to the other end of the mine car and lifts a large boulder. Suddenly Indy drops the boulder and grabs him arm, feeling a       shooting pain again. Then he yells as he feels yet another stab- bing pain in his left leg. '''                                  WILLIE '''                      What's wrong with him? Shorty is convused and worried -- and then he sees something! He       looks up and there on a rock-cut balcony over the cavern is the little Maharajah! The little prince clutches the clay krtya doll that represents Indy. He jabs it in the leg with a long sapphire-tipped turban pin. On the mine car, Indy yells and grabs his right leg, which collapses beneath him. Short Round takes off. He dashes under the platform toward a bucket-chain carrying spent water back up       to the cistern. Short Round leaps over the pool of water and grabs onto a bucket. He rises up on this make-shift elevator toward the rock balcony and the malicious little Maharajah. Meanwhile, Indy is on the brink of unconsciousness as the giant's       massive hands throttle his neck. Indy's head hangs over the end of the mine car and suddenly his eyes widen -- The car with Indy and the giant reaches the peak of the dump ramp and its upended -- spilling both of them and a shower of rocks down the conveyor belt! Down below, Willie dodges wooden pillars and weaves around quarry equipment, trying to follow Indy's battle with the giant. She trips and swears angrily -- Willie pushes and empty mine car out of her way -- an empty mine car! She runs back and starts shoving the mine car along the rails toward the conveyor belt. '''                                  WILLIE '''                      I got one! Indy, I got one! Near the waterfall, Short Round ascends on the rising bucket chain. Up on the balcony, the little Maharajah chuckles evilly as       he watches Indiana on the conveyor belt -- The Maharajah lifts the clay doll and viciously jabs the pin in       the back of it! On te conveyor, Indiana gets to his feet and then yells as a       stabbing pain lacerates his back! He falls and writhed helpless- ly as the giant staggers up the rocky conveyor belt toward him. Willie shoves the mine car forward. She sees Indy's desperate situation as he's pulled along the conveyor toward the rock crusher! '''                                  WILLIE '''                      Indy, look out! She looks up and sees Short Round leap from the bucket-chain onto the balcony. The little Maharajah's eyes glow fiendishly as he       lifts the clay doll -- and jabs the pin into the doll's face. On the conveyor belt, Indy yells agonizingly and clutches his stabbed face! Behind him, rocks explode as they're crushed and pulverized by the mammoth roller. In front of Indy, the Thuggee giant grabs a pick-axe as the con- veyor slides past a tool bin. The giant approaches Indy with it. Short Round dashes across the balcny and tackles the Maharajah. They fall and fight like mortal enemies. Short Round sees the little Maharajah's eyes glowing as he punches him in the face. Only a few feet away from the rock-smashing roller, Indy is still on his back on the conveyor belt, thrashing in pain, feeling the Maharajah's pin piercing his face. The giant raises the pick-axe above his head and it about to split Indiana in two! On the balcony, the Maharajah drops the doll and Short Round dives for it -- he grabs the clay doll and pulls out the pin! On the conveyor belt, Indiana is suddenly released from the and looks up to see the giant swinging the pick-axe. Indy rolls aside at the last minute! The pick-axe cleaves into the conveyor belt and the giant lurches forward -- Indy gives him a helpful kick, sending the giant flying toward the rock-crusher as Indy jumps off the conveyor belt! Seeing the huge roller looming in front of him, the giant crawls desperately against the movement of the conveyor belt -- but he       gets snagged! The sash around his waist gets caught under the rolling cursher and he's dragged back under it feet first. The Thuggee giant screams hideously as his body is rolled over and squashed by the enormous stone wheel! On the balcony, Short Round is jabbing the pin into the squirming little Maharajah. The little pricne's eyes still glow yellow as       he hollers -- '''                                  SHORT ROUND '''                      How you like bing pin cushion, Mr. Rajah-ha-ha? The little prince rolls on the ground and tries to fight off Short Round who keeps jabbing him -- suddenly the Maharajah swings and the pin is accidentally rammed clear through his hand! Shorty sees the pin sticking through both sides of the kid's       hand. The Maharajah stares at his pierced hand, gasping in       astonishment. Short Round notices the yellow glow dying out of the Maharajah's       eyes -- just as Indy's eyes cleared after he was released from Kali's trance. '''                                  MAHARAJAH '''                      Please -- pull it out! Short Round yanks the pin out of the little prince's hand. The Maharajah looks like he's jsut awakened from a bag dream. '''                                  SHORT ROUND '''                      It was the black sleep of Kali...

Meanwhile, Indy runs along the catwalk above the conveyor belt. He jumps and grabs onto a cross-bard -- he kicks out with his feet and knocks a quarry guard off the catwalk. The guard flies through the air and topples into the sand pit where he thrashes around blindly under the sand falling from the crusher. Across the cavern, Willie shoves the rolling mine car toward the balcony. '''                                  WILLIE '''                      Get down here, Shorty!

She yanks the iron brake-handle off the mine car and holds it threat- eningly like a baseball bat -- WILLIE (Cont'd)                       Come on, let's see hoe hand your head is! Up on the rock balcony, Short Round lowers himself over the edge.

There he finds Willie swinging the brake-handle and smashing the guard in the gut. The man doubles in pain -- Willie kicks his putt and he splashes into the pool of water.

Mola Ram sees Willie and Short Round pushing the mine cat. Mola Ram shouts to his men -- two of them pull pistols and open fire! Bullets ricochet off the mine car and Short Round shoves Willie to the far side of the car where they both take cover. Meanwhile, up on a catwalk, a guard slices a sword through the air and Indiana ducks! The sword slashes into a wooden railing and the guard tries frantically to pull it out -- Indiana slams kis knee up into the guard's stomach and then smashes his fist down on his neck -- the man collapses. Indy hears more gunfire. Indiana rushes along the catwalk toward the platform above. He       edges against the wall below the platform, staying out of sight as he unfurls his whip. One of Mola Ram's guards fires again from the high platform and Indiana lashes the whip -- the whip wraps around the gunman's       arm and Indy yanks on it -- The gunman topples through the air and crashes down onto the cat- walk. Indy grabs the gun. He kicks the guard off the catwalk and the man falls into the waterfall pool. As the other guards fire down at him, Indiana dodges along the catwalk and fires back at them. A bullet explodes near Mola Ram and he ducks back -- Meanwhile, Short Round and Willie have the mine car rolling and they jump into it -- '''                                  SHORT ROUND '''                      Indy!

Indy reaches the end of the catwalk -- Suddenly he dives into the air and catches hold of a block and tacke! Indy skids along the pulley system, sliding down a cable toward the mine car in which Short Round and Willie are riding. Bullets whiz past as Indiana sails in the air above the speeding mine car - when they are in sync, Indy lets go and drops into the mine car next to Willie and Short Round! Mola Ram rushes forward and watches the speeding mine car rolling down the track toward the tunnels -- '''                                  MOLA RAM '''                      They've stolen the Sankara Stones -- they must be stopped! In the speeding mine car, Indy sees the tracks separating in two directions -- one back into the quarry, the other toward two tun- nels that lead out of the mines. Indiana lifts a shovel from the floor of the car and swings it       just in time -- he hits a switch which CLANGS as they speed by        and the car is shunted tipsy-turvy onto the track toward the two tunnels. Willie hangs on as the car tears down the track toward the tunnel on the right -- and Short Round looks worried -- '''                                  SHORT ROUND '''                      No, Indy, it's left tunnel.

Indy sits in front, pulling back on       the brake-lever to control their speed and keep them from careen- ing off the tracks. Expecting trouble, Short Round peers over the back end of the car. Willie ducks low, watching the heavy beams flashing danger- ously close above their heads. Then Willie's eyes go wide and she groans in terror like a girl on a roller coaster as the mine car suddenly plunges downward, taking their stomachs with it. A gunshot rings out and Short Round sees the first Thuggee car appear around a curve behind them. Mola Ram's gunmen start blasting. Bullets ricochet off the mine car and Indy yells back to Short Round. '''                                  INDIANA '''                      Come here and take the brake!

A gunman in the car behind returns his fire, the explosions lighting up the tunnle walls. Indy aims and fires again -- the gunman is hit and knocked back in the car. Another guard with a Khyber rifle moves up to the front and starts firing. Meanwhile, as the car goes into a hard turn, Short Round rides the brake -- beneath the car we see the brake-pad scraping on the metal wheel. The tunnel gets lower and Indy has to duck under each beam flying over and can only pop up to fire between the low beams. The rifleman in the car behind is relading. Then he lifts his rifle -- Indy pops up simultaneously and shoots! The gunman is hit, his rifle flies up and his head smashes against the beam hurtling above! Screaming horribly, the gunman is knocked from the speeding car like a broken doll. '''163.  INT. THE CAVERN                                              163.

Another Thuggee retrieves Indy's pistol and starts reloading it.

They grab the sides of the car as it tips precariously. Behind them, the curve throws the gunmen from side to side in the car following. '''                                  SHORT ROUND '''                      Indy, look out! A sharper curve looms ahead and Indy shoves the brake completely off!

In the car behind, the Thugge guard at the brake also shoves the brake off -- and looks extremely worried. Indy's car hits the curve and the centrifugal force lifts the in- side wheels off the rails! '''                                  INDIANA '''                      Get over on the other side! Willie and Short Round jumps over to his side as the car whips around the curve! Indy looks back and sees the car pursuing them is also taking the curve at full speed -- Suddenly the Thuggee car swereves dangerously, the weight shifts too much to the outside -- and the car derails! The car bounces off the tracks and flies through the air into a       siding where is CRASHES against a stone wall in an EXPLOSION of        rock and metal! Pieces of debris pommel the drive of the second Thuggee car and he quickly grabs for the brake to slow down and avoid the same fate! In the lead car, Indy smiles smugly as Willie opens her eyes.

The gunmen in the car behind spit it and yell in panic -- Indy and Willie watch the car behind crash into the railroad tie -- but the tie just skids, catches and bounces up and out of the way like a huge tumbling matchstick!

The cars descend again into a stretch of much lower tunnel where the beams flash past inches above them. Indy judges the beams -- '''                                  INDIANA '''                      Okay  -- one -- two -- NOW!

Looking back, they see the gunmen pop up between the beams -- and they see the looks of terror on the gunmen's faces as they see the boulder in front of them! The Thuggee car hits the boulder and upends!

Indy crawls quickly toward Shorty while Willie holds on for dear life! Completely out of control, the car hurtles down a decline into a       section where the tunnel if larger again -- Indiana bends over the front of the car and looks underneath. He       sees the brake tension hanging loose from the brake-pad. Indiana pulls himself back up and looks at Willie and Short Round. '''                                  INDIANA '''                      Grab onto me -- I'm going to try and slow us down from underneath! Willie looks terrified but helps Short Round grab onto Indy's arm and the back of his jacket. He skips over the front of the car and swings a leg underneath -- Indy is inches above the rails and the rocky ground blurring be- neath the car as he tries to kick at the brake-pad. His feet fall and he bumps along, dragged dangerously for a moment -- Indy manages to find a foothold on the undercarriage of the car. As they hold onto him, Indy kicks again and his foot hits the brake-pad. He shoves it and slowly the pad closes against the spinning wheel...

Indy's foot starts kicking in high-gear underneath the car -- he       slams at the brake-pad with all his strength -- the pad screeches against the spinning wheeel and starts sparking! The car seems to slow as it shoots toward the end of the tunnel. Indy groans and pushes hard against the smoking brake-pad. The car slows more and more until it runs down the last few yards to the dead-end and rolls gently to a stop, just nudgeing Indy's       back against the wall.... '''                                  INDIANA '''                      Ouch... Willie looks faint as Indiana gets to his feet and Shorty jumps out of the car.

Indiana sees that the tunnel ahead continues without any more tracks. Then they hear something -- A strange rumbling sound echoing down the tunnel from behind them. The walls seem to reverberate. Looking worried, they start walking away down the tunnel. They walk faster as the noise behind them becomes louder and they keep glancing over their shoulders -- '''                                  WILLIE '''                      What's that?...Indy?! Indiana isn't sure and he pulls Willie by the arm and all three of       them start jogging. The rumbling behind them sounds increasingly ominous and finally they start running full tilt. They rush down the tunnel and the awful noise becomes defening! Willie looks around again and slows suddenly -- Willie stops dead in her tracks -- paralyzed -- awestruck -- '''      DOOMED! '''       Willie sees a monster wall of water (released from the quarry) as        it thunders around a curver -- a mammoth tidal wave crashing spec- tacularly against the opposite tunnel wall!

Indiana and Short Round notice that Willie's sloed and they stop running -- they also see the cataclysm of water crashing down the tunnel toward them. Indy runs back and grabs Willie. All three of them take off, running faster than they've ever run in their lives! The tidal wave smashes forward, booming behind them and Indiana realizes quickly that they're going to lose this race. Suddenly he sees a small side-tunnel in a bend ahead -- '''                                  INDIANA '''                      There! Dive! They lunge toward the hole and Short Round dives in it first. Indiana shoves Willie into the hole and jumps in after her just as the colossal tidal wave explodes past! '''169.  INT.

Indy grabs her and all three of the flail their arms to keep from losing their bal- ance! '''171.  EXT. THE TUNNEL EXIT - DAY                                   171. '''       The tunnel exits midway up a cliff and the three totter precari- ously on the brink looking down at a 300 foot sheer drop to       a gorge below! Indiana swings Willie onto a narrow ledge on one side and pushes Short Round after her -- he jumps himself to the other side just as the tidal wave crashes past them! The water bursts out of the tunnel -- the gusher spews forth from the cliffside into the air as if Hoover Dam just broke lose! Short Round and Willie balance on the narrow ledge on one side of       the geyser -- Indy is perches on the ledge on the other side of        the incredible eruption of water. Willie gets vertigo looking down into the gorge where the water crashes at the bottom. There crocodiles are disturbed and slither angrily. Indy looks up and sees a rope bridge swinging about twenty feet above Willie and Short Round. Indy shouts across the blasting water -- '''                                  INDIANA '''                      Willie -- the bridge! Climb up                       to the bridge!

He edges along the narrow ledge toward the bridge and Willie follows him. Once under the bridge, they start climbing up the rocks to it. Meanwhile, Indiana is scaling the cliff face to get over the water geyser to the other side. He grabs at scrub brush and finds a few perilous footholds as he makes his way to the bridge. '''172.  EXT. THE ROPE BRIDGE                                         172. '''       Willie and Short Round pull themselves up at the end of the bridge. Behind them a dark tunnel runs back into the mines. What's in front of them is hardly more reassuring -- The rope bridge across the gorge is a century old and defintely wasn't built by army engineers. Laying across the two bottom rope-spans, worm-eaten and moldy boards offer risky footings. Vertical side ropes connect the bottom rope-spans to the two up- per ropes that constitute the dangerous hand-railings. Short Round steps tentatively out onto the bridge. It holds him and he turns and smiles at Willie -- '''                                  SHORT ROUND '''                      Easy like pie! Kid's stuff! Suddenly the board under him breaks! Willie grabs Short Round before he falls into the abyss! Looking pale and less cocky, Short Round starts out again and Willie follows his carefully. They continue stepping across the bridge cautiously, a feat made more difficult by the bridge's constant swaying and the hear- stopping up and down movement. Behind them, Indy finally pulls himself up from under the bridge. He stands up and sees Willie and Short Round halfway across already. Then he hears something and turns quickly -- he takes his whip out and ducks to the side of the tunnel as two Thuggee guards rush out. Indy cracks the whip, catching the first guard around the neck -- the guard spills forward and trips the second guard. The first man tries to stand but Indiana kicks him in the head. The second guard gets to his feet and seings his sword -- Indy ducks, slams him in the stomach and dives for the first guard's       sword. He grabs it and rolls aside quickly as the second gaurd attempts to slice him in two! Indy gets to his feet and immediately finds himself about to en- gage in a sword duel with the enraged Thuggee guard. Indy looks at the unfamiliar sword, hefts it, and tries to quickly decide the best way to use it -- Suddenly the guard shouts and charges. Indy decides shouting must be the "de rigueur" technique and shouts back loudly -- the two swords CLANG and spark as the duel erupts. Indy flails and feints and the Thuggee guard lunges and slashes. Indy finally gains the upper hand and dispatches the Thuggee guard who slumps defeated into the dirt. Keeping the sword, Indy starts out onto the bridge, walking as       quickly as possible across the rickety span. He hears shouting ahead and looks worried then temple guards appear at the far end of the bridge. The guards suprise Willie and Shorty as they finally get across the bridge. Struggling  futilely with the guards, Willie shouts at Indiana -- '''                                  WILLIE '''                      Indy -- looks out behind you! Indy sees more Thuggee guards rushing out of the tunnel behind him. He turns and sees two of the tmeple guards who captured Willie and Short Round coming across the bridge in front of him. Indy stands helpless in the middle of the swaying bridge with guards approaching from both sides, and nothing but heaven above and the rocky gorge hundreds of feet below! A wind comes up and the High Priest, Mola Ram, appears on the far end of the bridge. He stands with the guards who hold Willie and Short Round. The wind whips around Indy and he staggers unsteadily on the swaying bridge as he watches Mola Ram -- '''                                  INDIANA '''                      Let my friends go! Mola Ram shouts in Hindi and the guards start to move toward Indy from both sides of the bridge. INDIANA (Cont'd)                       That's far enough! '''                                  MOLA RAM '''                      You are in no position to give orders, Dr. Jones. Indiana indicates the bag over his shoulder -- '''                                  INDIANA '''                      You want the stones, let them go                        and call off your guards! Mola Ram motions and the guards move farther out on both sides of       the bridge -- suddenly Indiana swings the sword and it cuts into one of the bottom rope-spans! The rope is half-severed and frays slowly under the tension! '''                                  MOLA RAM '''                      Impressive, Dr. Jones. But I                       don't believe you would kill yourself! Mola Ram motions again the his guards (looking more nervous now) step farther out onto the bridge, mvoing closer to Indy from both sides. Indy swings the sword again, cutting into the other rope-span! It, too, is now partially severed and frays slowly. The bridge jolts and Indy and the guards sway precariously! Suddenly Mola Ram shoves Short Round out onto the bridge. The High Priest draws a dagger and pushes Willie onto the swaying span, holding the knife behind them both. MOLA RAM (Cont'd)                       Your friends will die with you! In different times this would be called a Mexican stand-off Indiana looks at the guards in front and behind him. He sees Willie and Short Round out on the bridge now with Mola Ram at       their backs. '''                                  INDIANA '''                      Then I guess we're all going to                        take a big dive! Indy and Short Round's eyes meet -- and the kid realizes that his hero isn't kidding. Willie looks at Shout Round anxiously -- she notices that Shorty is surreptitiously wrapping his foot around a       rope support. Petrified, Willie also secretly wraps her foot around a rope and does likewise with her arm -- '''                                  MOLA RAM '''                      Give me the stones! '''                                  INDIANA '''                      Mola Ram -- you're about to meet Kali -- in Hell! Indiana swings the sword with all his might -- it whooshes through the air and slashes clear through the top and bottom ropes --! Immediately Mola Ram's guards start to flee in panic -- too late! Indiana swings the sword again and the two ropes on the other side are severed -- The rope bridge is sheared in two! It breaks in the middle and both halves fall apart! The guards scream horribly in the air as       they plunge down into the rocky gorge! Willie and Short Round cling to their established footholds and fall with the bridge toward the wall of the gorge. Mola Ram spills forward, clutching desperately at the ropes and slats -- Below them, Indiana has latched onto a rope and swings with the bridge as it hits the gorge wall and hangs vertically now, dang- ling from its moorings at the top. There's an instant of suspended animation as all who remain alive realize they are alive. Short Round and Willie cling near the top of the now vertical bridge. Below them, Mola Ram clutches onto one of the main ropes while directly above him the last of his guards holds on for dear life. Short Round and Willie struggle upwards, clutching ropes and stepping on slats. Finally, Short Round heaves himself up onto solid ground and turns to help Willie up. Meanwhile, dangling below on the bridge, Indy reaches up and grabs Mola Ram's leg. The High Priest kicks and tries to break Indy's grip. He kicks again and smashes Indy in the face. Indy won't let go. Suddenly the High Priest reaches up and grabs his own Thuggee guard and yanks his down by the front of his shirt -- Mola Ram shoves the luckless guard down onto Indy, trying to       dislodge him by sacrificing the screaming Thuggee. Indy manages to hang on. The Thuggee is less fortunate and falls screaming to       his death. Then Mola Ram looks across the gorge and yells. Indy sees a dozen of the last Thuggee guards streaming out of the tunnel -- only to be stranded on the far side of the now bridgeless gorge. Indy starts climbing up after Mola Ram again. He grabs at the back of Mola Ram's robe and pull him down. Slipping, Mola Ram turns and it's Indy's chance to punch Mola Ram in the face. Mola Ram's eyes are glowing yellow and he's shouting incoherent- ly. He grabs the strap of Indy's shoulder bag and stamps on In- dy's hand -- Indy falls! Indiana slips downward, scrambling to catch hols of something -- meanwhile, Mola Ram now has the bag with the Sankara Stones. Indy finally stops his downward slide and dangles dangerously near the bottom of the bridge. Across the gorge, the Thuggee guards run up a path to a small gove of trees growing on a plateau above the gorge. The guards have bows and arrows and take firing positions -- At the top of the bridge, Mola Ram keeps climbing until rocks start poundinghim from above -- Willie and Short Round pely him with rocks which he tries to block with his arm. Indiana starts to climb again, using all his strength. He       reaches for a wooden slat -- suddenly a flaming arrow smashes into the wood! Indy turns in amazement and sees more flaming arrows rocketing across the chasm directy for him! Across the gorge, by the grove of trees, a Thuggee priest yells orders to the archers who continue to launch the flaming arrows. Indiana crawls up as the bridge starts to burn from the continu- ing bursts of fiery arrows. At the top, Mola Ram reaches up des- perately for a hand old -- Willie smashes his hand with a rock! The High Priest yells in pain and slips down to where Indy slugs him again in the face! They struggle as the fire burns up from beneath them. On the cliff above the fallen bridge, Willie watches the fire rising toward Indy and Mola Ram as they fight. Short Round turns and sees something -- '''                                  SHORT ROUND '''                      Willie, look! They see horses galloping through a narrow pass -- the British cavalry is returning. Captain Blumburtt and the first troops draw up their forses and dismount quickly. A fussilade of flaming arrows force the British to take cover -- they quickly start firing back at the Thuggees with rifles. As the battle above the gorge continues, Indy and Mola Ram fight below on the dangling bridge -- Indiana sees the High Priest's eyes begin glowing and he hisses insanely. Mola Ram's hand thrusts out toward Indiana's chest and Indy yells in pain -- Indy looks down and writhes terrified as he sees Mola Ram's hand starting to enter his chest (as it entered the victim's chest       during the temple sacrifice)! Mola Ram's finger are inching into Indy's body -- Indy clutches at Mola Ram's piercing hand, trying to keep the deadly fingers away from his heart. Slowly, Indy is able to push Mola Ram's hand away and his fingers withdraw from Indy's chest. Indiana suddenly slugs the High Priest in the face and grabs for the bag of Sankara Stones -- '''                                  MOLA RAM '''                      No, the stones are mine! '''                                  INDIANA '''                      You're betrayed Shiva. *(He re-                       peats in Sanskrit Sankara's warn-                        ing) As Indy pronounces the magical words, the bag begins glowing and starts to burn Mola Ram as he clutches it -- the stones begin to       spill out of the bag and the High Priest grabs from them. INDIANA (Cont'd)                       *(He repeats Sankara's warning                         in Sanskrit) The blazing stones sear Mola Ram's flesh and he screams in pain. The light suddenly dies in his eyes and for one instant he looks at Indy as if awakened from a nightmare -- Mola Ram loses his balance and Indy grabs for the stones. He       manages to clutch only one of them as Mola Ram screams and falls! Indy sees the stone in his hand suddenly cool. He watches Mola Ram plummeting downward into the chasm and finally crashing into the jagged rocks at the bottom. The irritated crocodiles are disturbed once more -- but soon wel- come the meal that just dropped in. Jaws flash and teeth rip at       the High Priest's likeless corpse. And Indy's bag with the Sankara Stones sinks into the murkly cur- rent and disappears down the river ... '''173. EXT. THE CLIFF                                               173. '''       Indiana crawls up the burning bridge and Willie and Short Round reach for him at the top. They pull him up onto the cliff and they all look around exhausted -- Across the gorge, more British troops emerge from the mine tun- nels to subdue the remaining Thuggee guards on that side. Finally the little Maharajah comes out of the dark mine tunnel. He sees Short Round across the gorge -- and bows to thank him for his help. On the other side, Short Round waves his cap, saluting him back. Willie stands at the edge of the gorge looking down into the riv- er far below. '''                                  WILLIE '''                      I guess Mola Ram got what he                        wanted. '''                                  INDIANA '''                      Not quite. She sees Indy reach into his pocket. He pulls something out slowly -- as she watches he reveals a crystal stone -- INDIANA (Cont'd)                       The last Sankara Stone. Short Round watches Willie take it carefully from Indiana. She gazes at it and looks delighted -- '''                                  WILLIE '''                      And the diamond hidden inside... Willie holds the stone up to the sun and it sparkles and flashes                                                               CUT TO  '''174.  EXT. THE MAYAPORE HILLS - DAY                                174. '''       The sun flares and silhouettes three figures coming over a        hilltop. Behinf them we see more smaller silhouettes appearing over the rise. Indiana, Willie and Short Round walk back down the dirt road into Mayapore -- followed by a multitude of children returning to       their homeland. Willie looks at the changed landscape and seems astonished: the barren countryside has been reborn. They see streams flowing beneath green trees, flowers blooming and peasants harvesting golden grain in the fields. '''175.  EXT. MAYAPORE VILLAGE                                        175. '''       Indiana, Willie and Short Round lead the children down the village road. Ahead they see villagers rebuilding their primi- tive dwellings. Now they hear shouts of joy from the peasants. The children returning home start running to meet their parents who are rush- ing out to greet them. There is laughter and tears as families are reunited. Indiana sees the old shaman approaching with the chieftain and the village elders. The shaman touches his fingers to his forehead and bows. The three travelers return his greeting and the shaman is quite moved as he speaks to Indiana -- '''                                  SHAMAN '''                      We know you are coming back -- (indicating the                                 countryside) -- when life returns to our village. '''                                  WILLIE '''                      It's a real miracle. '''                                  SHAMAN '''                      Now you see the magic of the "rock" you bring back. The old shaman smiles wisely at Indiana. Indy takes the stone out of his bag and unwraps it. '''                                  INDIANA '''                      Yes, I've seen its power Willie watches the shaman take it reverently and bow to them. The shaman joins the elders and they walk to the village's small sacred mound. Indy and Willie stay back. They see him kneel and replace the stone in its niche. '''                                  INDIANA '''                      The last Sankara Stone. '''                                  WILLIE '''                      And they don't even know what it really is. '''                                  INDIANA '''                               (smiling at her) Well, you didn't get your prince, and there goes your diamond. '''                                  WILLIE '''                      You didn't do so well yourself. Finding that stone could've got- ten you all the fortune and glory you were talking about. '''                                  INDIANA '''                      It's still a long way to Delhi. Who knows what might happen. She looks at him like he's crazy. '''                                  WILLIE '''                      Oh no, I'm finding a native guide who knows the way. No more de- tours for me, thank you Dr. Jones. She turns and starts walking away continuing to complain -- WILLIE (Cont'd)                       If you think I'm going to Delhi or anyplace else with you, after all the trouble you've gotten me                       into...        Suddenly the bullwhip CRACKS and wraps around her waist. Star- tled Willie looks angry as Indiana reels her in, pulling her to- ward him and into his arms. But when he finally kisses her, she doesn't seem to mind at all...       Short Round shakes his head, but looks sort of pleased. When he       turns away, his face lights up! Short Round runs toward the sunset, toward the three elephants being brought back to the village. The baby elephant starts walking faster, as if he recognizes Short Round running out to       meet him... '''                                  THE END '''
