"INDIANA JONES AND THE TEMPLE OF DOOM" (1984)

A Chinese GONG SOUNDS and the glittering doors of an Art Deco pa- goda 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 lamé gowns.

From the ethereal beauties, we cut to a street urchin's dirty face: SHORT ROUND is a ten-year-old Chinese kid wearing a bdeat- 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 ballroon.

Short Round enters and stares achoss the smoky nightclub. On the stage, he sees a giant paper-Gaché 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 while the or- chestra wails the accompaniment.

But Short Round's not here to ogle crooning dames. He surveys the rich Chinese, American and Européan 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. WO HAN, a waiter with a sear across his cheek, watches Short Round leave.

_As Short Round hurries toward the exit, he bumps into a max ina

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 husties him out the coor, Short Round yelling insults ail the way.

4. (contd. )

A maitre d' apologizes to the man in the tuxedo and two hat-check girls smile at him familiarly as he continues into the-ballrooz.

-We notice something incongruous: the man in the tuxedo is wear-

ing work boots caked with mud. a

The man in the tuxedo stops to wateh 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 han 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: _ A,

, It's INDIANA JONES. Elegant in a tuxedo <= dressed to kill. The TITLES END and over this a legegd appears on the screen:

SHANGEAI - 1935

At the table, the four Chinest men in suits stare coldly at Indi-

ana e LAO Dr. Jones. INDIANA Lao She. , LAO

Nee chin ile how ma? Lao's men laugh and assume that Indy doesn't understand his joke.

LAO SHE looks angry and his men's smiles fade.

5. (contd. )

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 smile dies with it.

There's applause as Willie Scott finishes her song. - At the table, Lao stares at Indiana with a strange intensity.

Indiana looks across the taste at Lao's son, CHEN, who resembles a bulldog and snarls like cme now.

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 pulls a wad of cash out of his pocket and puts it on the table. Indiana glances at it.

5. (contd. )

"INDIANA | . As I recall the deal was consid- wee 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 Indie ana.

isan'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 mirrer to check her make-up.

“hy LAO (Cont'd) Dr. Jones found Nurhachi for me and is about to Seliver him --= BOW.

Lao nods across the table anP 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.

(to Lao) Lao, he's got a knife!

Eao Ean 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 golng 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 inte his pocket. He puts ten gold coins next to the cash on the table.

Indy leans forward to look at the gold coins -- so intent 1y that he fails to notice Kao Kan spilling some powder into indy's cham-

pagne glass!

The knife pokes Willie and she whimpers again. Lao reaches into another pocket and brings outa folded piece of rice paper -=- he opens it and a large diamond cand ruby spill out onto the table.

‘ Brozana (Cont'd) Bingo... you see, Lao, with a bit 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 --= whe Watches expectantly as Indiana moves the glass toward his lips <=

Suddenly Willie stands angrily, jostling Indy's arm so that he

soesn't drink his champagne.

Lao sees Indy put his champagne glass down and he snarls at Wil- lie. --

LAd Sit down!

Willie quickly obeys. Lao forces a smile at Indy and lifts his giass to seal the deal -- —

‘Lao sips his 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 examines his champange glass and sees a residue at the bottom of it. He swallows and feeis sick, wondering if it's fear or the poison already taking effect. ,

ia

‘Indiana is sweating. wii looks at him and sees Indy's hand

shaking.

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 bypnotically at the exquisite gold and enamel box.

Nobody pays any attention to her as Lao reaches for the box.

Lao opens the box carefully and stares reverently at the grey powder inside.

: Sacred ancestor! | WILLIE | So, what's the big deal? Let f me see it --

Willie 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!

| INDIANA a Let go of hery Lao. And give me Nee the antidote,

Lao just laughs evilly -- util 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 as 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.

. WILLIE (puzzled) Bey, 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 (Fr the antidote on the table, Lao.

5. (contd. )

Lao carefully reaches into his pocket and puts a smali 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 as Indy speaks emotionally to his dying friend.

In pain, Wu Han looks at Indy and struggles to speak <--

Wu Han dies and slumps forward. Indiana is shattered by the

death of his old friend.

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 wei- 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 flambée and hurls it 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 hore 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 number 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 @kem off the table as he leaps to attack Indy.

aa ~

Indiana scrambles on his hands and knees after the rolling vial. People keep kicking it -=- he almsst has it when Willie runs into hin, trips and lands on her back

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 waterespewing 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 esross the marble floor -- feeling the poison, Indy shakes his head groggil y and splashes water on his face.

Meanwhile, Willie is chasing her diamond, shoving through the

_ panicked crowd. She spots tne diamond! Another elegantly

ressed woman is bending to pick it up --

a

<-

§. (contd. )

Willie smiles and suddenly kicks the woman in the butt! Willie reaches to get the diamond but not before the other woman-tackles

Behind the ‘fountain, Indiana makes a break =~ he runs .nd dives on top of a serving cart. The wheeled cart hurtles toward an un- suspecting gunman, crashes into him from behind and sends hin 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 shower ice across the floor -- which camouflages the diamond!

Searching desperately for the jewel, Willie sees the vial of antidote spinning across the floor -- as it slides by, she grabs

it. INDIANA (0.8.) Hey, doll! Don't move! a ae She sees Indy speeding by atop the serving cart. Lao and kis gunmen rusk out to block the way.” Indy rolls off the cart and slides behind a potted palm as Lag’s men open fire again.

Willie smiles meanly as she slips the vial down the front of her dress, thumbs her nose at Indiana and walks away.

Hiding behind the palm tree, Indiana looks around and spotsa gie- ant statue at the side of the stage. Indy makes a break for it.

As the gunmen open fire, Indy springs onto a cheir <— 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

The crimson cord holding the gong is SLASHED! Indy slings the sword at his assailants and gives the threeemeter-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 flcor. . . .

Using the gong as an enormous shield, indy evades the gunfire exe ploding -= bullets ricochet off the rolling bress 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-celling window!

Indiana grabs Willie around the waist and, after the huge gong crashes through the stainec-glass window, they both-fly after it!

: i 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 hurtile into the night air after it!

The gong rolls down the roa find they hit the tiles behind it, Indiana holding onto Williewas they roll one-eover-the-osother 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 ona second-floor balcony «=

Finally they smash through the convertible top of a parked Dusen- berg and fall into the back seat!

Willie sits up wide-eyed, speechless and amazed to be alive. Then she sees an equally astonished Short Round looking at then from the front seat.

Wow!

The twelve-year-old Chinese kid turns his baseball‘cap bill- backwards and steps on the gas! The tires squeal as the car roars off <= .

; WILLIE For erying out loud, a kid's drive ing the car?!

The Duesenberg races past the entrance to the nightelub as Lao and his men rush out and jump into two black sedans. The sedans screech off in pursuit of the Duesenberg.

As Short Round eagerly swerves around a corner, Willie holds on for dear life. Indiana suddentyw, puts his hand down the front of ; ;

Willie's dress -- “OS

Indiana withdraws his hand, having finally found the vial. He opens it quickly, tips the vial to his lips and grimaces as he Swallows the stuff.

- WILLIE You don't look very good.

As the car accelerates, Indy peers out the back window at their pursuers, Willie notices her reflection in the side window --

9. (contd. )

Gunfire suddenly explodes, bullets whizz through the canvas top and the rear window shatters and sprays glass! Willie ducks and ecringes terrified in the corner --

Indy grabs his shoulder bag and pulls a pistol out of it. He pokes the gun through the broken window and starts firing back ac their pursuers -- then he turns and looks ahead.

Through the windows we see the car racing into a tunnel. Lights from the pursuing cars flash through the rear window and gunfire echoes in the tunnel... Ay

' WILLTE What're we going to do?! Where're we going?!

Indy reaches over the front seat and helps Short Round navigate.

The Duesenberg tears around the square, followed by Lao's two se- dans. People on the street dive for cover -=- coolies pulling rickshaws go into hyper-jog -- lanterns spanning the street crash down and are dragged behind the Duesenberg. Bullets explode and amazed prostitutes watch the cars zoom past.

_The chaotic chase continues -=- bullets whine past and the shred-

ded convertible top whips in the wind.

The Duesenberg swings around a curve and skids through gravel to- ward the airfield. In the distance there is a small terminal but Short Round wheels the car toward the cargo area --

A twoeengine passenger plane is revving its motors and the last passengers are boarding. The Duesenberg squeals to a stop and Indy jumps out with Willie and Short Round right on his heels.

A contingent of airport Military Police move to bar their way until WEBER, a heavy-set Englishman, runs up puffing and shout- ing.

WEBER ; No, no, they're all right! Sime Let them through please.

While Short Round grabs a small bag out of the car, Weber and a Stewardess take their tickets and rush them all toward the air- plane.

Meanwhile, the two sedans skid to a stop and Lao and his ‘son Kao Kan jump out with their henchmen. The puzzled military police advance on them suspiciously -=-

Realizing he's outnumbered, Lao instructs his men to stay back and to put away their weapons.

"~™ Willie and Short Round charge ug the ladder and onto the plane. Indy pauses at the top of the steps to give Lao a-cocky farewell Salute.- Indy boards the plane and the co-pilot slams the door.

The plane starts taxiing. By the cars, Lao is buffeted by the prop wash as he angrily watches the plane roll away. BSehind Lao, his son, Kao Kan, stares at the plane taking off -- a look on Kao Kan's face - indicates that he hasn't given up yet...

The plane lifts off the airfield, silhouetting against the clouds

and the first light of dawn. ° | CUT TO:

The sun flashes above the horizon and the plane banks through white billowing clouds as it heads west.

A door opens at the rear of the plane and Indiana Jones exits wearing more familiar attire: a beat-up leather jacket over a khaki shirt and a snapebrim hat. He passes a dozen passenxgers 2s he moves up the aisle carrying his rolled-up tuxedo.

In the first row, Willie is busy fixing her make-up. Shorty. sits in the seat across the aisle from her. Indy comes up.and drops nis tuxedo onto the floor.

Willie sees him hook his coiled bullwhip over a coat-pég.

Indy pats her leg -- she removes his hend and reaches down and picks up his tuxedo coat. She slips it on.

Oh yeah?

Ly — , At the same moment, the Chinese co-pilot tips his hat up off his

eyes == and looks scared to death! He exclaims in Chinese -- :

CO-PILOT (*subtitled*)

Good lord!

He and the pilot see two biplanes materialize out of the clouds and dive directly toward them! Suddenly, machine gunfire erupts!

The DC-3 banks into the clouds as the two biplanes attack. In the back.seat of the first biplane, we see Kao Kan watching the DC-3 like a hawk about to bring down a sparrow.

The biplanes swoop past both sides of the plane and bussts of

gunfire rip along the fuselage.

As the air battle rages, the passengers are tossed ebeut and some start screaming. Sbort Round peers out a window.

Willie shakes Indy's arm but he continues snoring under hi s hat.

The cockpit door bursts opena the Chinese co-pilot exits to make an announcement -- he smiles and speaks in CHINESE, then he smiles and speaks in FRENCH -- ~

Wylie looks lost until the CYinese co-pilot smiles again and speaks in ENGLISH <= ray

CO&=PILOT Please to remain calm. We start passing out parachutes now <--

The coepilot hurries toward the rear. Willie looks petrified as a stewardess rushes up and hands her a parachute --

The pilot hurries out of the cockpit and grabs his parachute as he heads toward the back.

“She opens the door to the cockpit --

—_ 22.

-The DC-3 smokes through the clouds. Passengers are bailing out

-- parachutes billowing. As one of the fighters- swoops through the parachutes, Kao Kan searches the faces -= then he points at KAO KAN (into the radio) Jones! Indiana Jones!

The two planes roar off and start strafing the DC-3 again.

The co-pilot has a parachute on and is trying to get Short Round into one. CO-PILOT Put it on! What's wrong with you? You've got to jump!

Short Round suddenly butts the\eo-pilot in the stomach with his head. The co-pilot yells and falls out the door. Short Round

Sees the co-pilot's parachute Dillow. Then Willie rushes up.

AY

She grabs the parachute and starts to fight Shorty over it --

They scuffle until the parachute. skids across the floor. - cee Round jumps for it -- the parachute falls out the door and Short Round starts to fall out after it!

Willie grabs him by the seat of his pants and hauls him back fron the abyss!

The fighters peel off toward the DC-3 with their guns flaming ir another attack.

Short Round tries to wake Indy again. Finally, Shorty grabs

i

(contd. )

Indy's bag, pulls his holster out of it and runs toward the back. Indy continues to sleep -=- until bullets smash the window by his head and a fire extinguisher is hit and stares’ spraying into Indy's face. Be finally awakens and jumps up. He looks around in disbelief at the battle-torn, nearly-empty airplane. INDIANA (groggily) We there yet? Indiana sees Shorty shooting his pistol out the side. door as the planes swoop by again. Out of ammo, Shorty throws the gun angrily at the passing plane. . . . Indiana picks up his whip and attaches it to his belt as Willie runs over to hin. WILLIE ; There's nobody flying the plane!

The door flies open and Indy ruStes in with Willie behind hin. Indy appraises the situation quiskly and jumps into the pilot's seat with total confidence <-- ~> Ay WILBIE (Cont'd) You know how t ly? ie Indy surveys the control panels, the myriad dials and switches -- INDIANA No. (hopefully) Do you?

Willie runs screaming out of the cockpit, her last hope shatter- ed. Shorty is pulling something out of the cargo compartment -- he's found a machine gun and sets it up on a short tripod.

He pulls Willie down to the flocr and shoves'‘her the ammunition beit that's draped toward the gun. Then Shorty jumps benind the machine gun -=

As the first fighter appears off their side, Short Round biasts out the open door! The machine gun explodes to life,—chewing bullets, smoking and spitting shells at Willie <<

Willie hollers terrified but manages to feed the. ammo belt as Short Round sights the blazing machine gun -=- suddenly he whoops!

Willie sees the fighter hit -- it smokes and veers away -- and then EXPLODES!

The second plane swoops down and Short Round blasts away. This time as he swivels the gun, he misses and hits one of the DC-3's own engines and it explodes!

Short Round, w in the hell : are you doing?

Suddenly the DC-3 emerges out of a cloud and Indy sees they are headed directly for a mountain! He pulls back hard on the con- trols as a rocky peak looms lethally in front of then.

The DC-3 lifts at the last second and smashes some snow off the uppermost pinnacle as it clears the mountain by inches!

Kao Kan's fighter is glued to the DC-3's tail and continues to strafe -=- but the fighter pllot pulls up too late -- and the fighter explodes as it hits the peak of the mountain!

- , INT. THE PASSENGER CABIN 30.

Indy rushes out of the smoking cockpit to find Willie and Short Round crawling out from under the debris that's fallen on then. Then Indy spots something in the wreckage --

He pulls at some yellow canvas and Willie sees a sign: EMERGENCY

LIFE RAFT. Indy drags the folded canvas over to the open door. -

not sinking, we're crashing!

Willie sees Short Round rush over to Indiana and grab him around the waist from behind. Willie finally jumps up and runs over -~

She throws her arms around Indy'’s neck so that she and Shorty are both bugging him from behind. Indy clutches the folded life raft in front of him and surveys the mountainside rushing close be- neath the sinking airplane --

Finally, an instant before the plane will hit, Indy dives and pulls the inflation cord!

f

As the smoking DC-3 screams out“of control toward the mountain, skimming the rocky snow-covergu Slopes, we see the life rafs

‘spilling out the open door -- =

The raft pops into its full shine, acting now as aspoiler, soar-

-ing against the rushing wind @nd finally crashing and bouncing

against the snowy mountainside.

In the distance, we see the DC-3 finally kiss the earth and exe plode in a cloud of flame against a rocky escarpment -- metal and earth mushrooming in a million directions!

As the raft rockets down the snow, Indiana clutches the front and Willie and Short Round hold on for dear life on either side of hin.

The raft plummets down the mountain, crossing the timber-line and entering a forest. Bouncing over a snow-hidden log, the raft shoots directly for a tree --

Indiana pulls on the perimeter rope, rells on his side and man- ages to swerve the raft so it caroms off the snowedrifted side of the tree trunk.

Continuing its downhill run, the raft smashes across a small

stream, sending silvery water spraying.

As the raft skids below the snow-level, it starts bouncing over rocky ground and its three passengers’ teeth start chattering.

The yellow raft crashes through a tangle of bushes and then plune mets toward a bluff! The raft goes airborne over the small blurr and lands with a splash in a slow-moving river. ‘

The life raft drifts down the river and Indy looks around and

smiles cockily at Willie and Short Round <-

Their faces don't show gratitude, but horror -- Indy hears’ some- thing and turns to see:

The raft is heading directly toéwerd a surging stretch of treach- erous rapids. Indiana looks jess 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 hollering, 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.

The raft drifts out of the main part of the river and glides toe ward a clearing. 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 Incy's "bodyguard", Shorty looks over at him worriedly --

Indy looks over at Willie who is moaning.

(moaning) Oh no... I ripped my dress. Where are we anyway?-

The raft floats to a gentle stop -- we see it nudge against a pair of dark feet. Indy squints up into the sun and sees somee thing -- ,

She rolls over and yelps as she looks up at the bizarre, painted face of a SHAMAN. Silhouetted against the blazing sun, the skin- ny little old man in a loincloth stares down at them in the raft.

An eerie wind rises and howls. The old man places his palms toe gether and moves his hands up ta, touch his forehead. Willie and Short Round watch mystified as Indiana returns the old shaman's

silent greeting. < . ~~

Indy and Short Round follow the shaman and four peasants down a gutted path through barren rolling hills. Willie is out of her milieu, stumbling along this forlorn landscape in high heels, tuxedo jacket and disheveled lame gown.

She hears the old shaman talking to Indy and catches up with them to find out what's going on.

walk, a hot wind swirls dust around them, a wind slowly ravaging

what soil is left in this terribly blighted region.

At the base of the hills, Mayapore village does nothing to re- lieve the awful sense of devastation. A desolate road runs through the village, along which groups of pitifully poor vile 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 lurking in scraggly trees.

‘Indiana notices the wretched geasants 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 the village and Short Round grows frightened by the odd attent - He moves closer to Indy as they pass the devastated population.

Black clouds clot across the blood-red sky as darkness falls. Indiana, Willie and Short Round sit tensely on a shabby rug. 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 No plates are placed in front of the elders. :

WILLIE a (quietly to Indy) =. - ia . I hope this means we're going to ° get some dinner. _—

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.

God, I am starving, but I can't eat this...

(pointedly) ; They're starving, too...

Willie looks around at the emaciated faces and feels like erawle- ; ing into a hole. Z - LIE I'm sorry, a here, please.

She picks up her plate ant gently hands it back to the women. The chieftain finally speaWs to them --

INDIANA

We'd appreciate that. This was an unexpected detour. We'll have to go to Delhi now and find a flight west.

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 robed 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- harajah suddenly flashes the whip at 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 yellow and he hisses softly in a strange voice. Nobody’else sees or hears the bizarre transformation... =

Short Round lets go and Indy gently takes the whip back from the

little prince.

worshippers chant in response to the strange tunnel music.

The moaning wind rushes past Indiana, Willie and Short R they watch the mystery cult below bowing toward an enormou at the far end of the temple.

This altar is a platform jutting out from the stone wall cavern. Separating the worshippers from this altar is a crevasse out of which wisps of smoke rise occasionally.

On the other side of the crevasse, evil-looking priests : materialize out of clouds of swirling smoke. The priest smoke-biliowing urns to a giant stone statue.

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- jak is furious.

The little prince's eyes glow angrily and he hisses at Indy -~

The little Maharajah pulls a small krtya from his robes -- indy sees that the doll has been crudely fashioned to resemble hin.

As the guards turn Indy face down, they rip off his jacket and chain his hands 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 Maharajah knows how to use the whip.

The little Maharajah whirls and lashes the whip again. Indiana jerks as the bullwhip rips through his shirt and tears open his

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 Mabarajah approaches Indy, Short Round lunges at 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 Ran.

Mola Ram is once again given the human skull by a priest and he lifts it toward Indy's face --

Indy's head is held back and Mola Ram spills the blood -- it

flows out of the mouth of the skullyVnto indy's mouth.

Willie stumbles through the secret door and falls into the room Tnseects cover her and she whimpers 2s she knocks them off. She manages to stagger to her feet and she heads for the door.

Willie rushes out of her room and runs through the deserted pal- ace looking for help. She flies down the moonlit-corridors, past the huge wall paintings. .

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 ina mirror: a face looms behind her and she screams!

Willie whirls and sees Chattar Lal, the Prime Minister, approach- ing her.

Captain Blumburtt comes around a corner and interrupts --

A sergeant-major shouts up to Blumburtt that the troops are ready.

a INDIANA Thanks, but I don't think Willie is ready to travel yet.

Dust swirls as the British cavalry moves off with their Highland Pipers at the head playing a military bagpipe tune. Capt. Blue burtt comes out of the palace and gets into an open car.

Blumburtt's car moves off behind the cavalry and then the supply trucks follow.

The whine of the bagpipes is eerily muted in the dark roon. Through the gently swaying mosquito netting, we see Willie asleep cn the bed.

The walling wind howls out of the high tunnel and the terrifying chanting reaches a fever pitch.

And once again the three sacred Sankara Stones giow magically. 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 thelr fingers, the women paint two white lines across the priests' foreheads.

Beneath the temple, down in the bowels of the mountain, fhe piti- ful children dig at the earth with their fingers. A FAT GUARD Slouches down the tunnel, flogging malingerers with a leather strap.

Short Round sweats next to the others, clawing at the rocks, doomed to work with them now in their search for the last twe Sarikara 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! Fearing their shouts, the fat guard returns -- yelling at their stupidity, he whips them and shoves them aside brutaily.

Short Round sees 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.

But rather than heaving it at the guard, Short Round smashes the rock down on the leg chains binding Bim to the other children. Shorty beats at the chain with the rock, determined to escape.

The wind moans and joins Mola Ram's voice echoing maniacally over the multitude gathered in the enormous temple. On his throne, the Little Maharajah listens transfixed.

Chattar Lal watches Indiana staring hypnotically at the High Priest as he speaks --

Suddenly there is a hearterending scream of terror and the priests drag forward the next sacrificial victim -=

Indiana's glowing eyes watch emotionlessly as Willie is brought out. Dressed in a Rejput maiden's outfit, Willie has been jewel- ed and draped with flowers -=- a strange ccntrast as she struggles desperately to escape!

In the dark tunnel, a rock smashes down onto a chain += and breaks it! Short Round is exhausted. He looks around furtively and sees a guard approaching.

Short Round takes a chance =- he dives and rolls across the tunnel. He ducks behind a mine car full of rocks being pushed out by two chained children.

The guard lumbers past unsuspectingly as Short Round makes his escape using the moving mine car as cover.

, Up in the temple, Willie continues to struggle as her legs are strapped to the iron sacrificial frame. Chattar Lal grabs her hand and ties it down. Willie's free hand reaches out imploring- ly toward Indiana -- = ~ WILLIE (hoarsely) Please, God, don't let them do this to me -- help me, Indy!

The exhausted kid nearly collapses at the bottom -- then jumps seeing Short Round. Shorty motions for him to keep quiet. Amazed, 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 are and what seems like sure suicide slowly resembles a mini-Indiana Jones 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 oppcsite 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. He looks at the light flaring around the statue of Kali =

Willie whirls as another quarry guard rushes toward her. She yanks the iron brake-handle off the mine car and holds it threat- eningly like a baseball bat --

Up on the rock balcony, Short Roynd lowers himself over the edge. The little Maharajah grabs his arm --

“a MAHARAJAE Please -~- list&® -- to go out you must take gre left tunnel.

Shorty looks at him and he knows he's telling the truth.

Short Round slips over the edge and slides down a wet stalactite to the floor of the cavers.

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

Willie starts pushing the empty mine car with Short Round. .

Across the quarry, Mola Ram and six temple guards run. out onto a high platform next to the waterfall. Mola Ram sees Willie and Short Round pushing the mine car.

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 his knee up into the guard's stomach and then smashes his fist down on his neck -= the man collapses. Indy hears more gunfire.

In the speeding mine car, Indy sees the tracks separating in tw. directions -- one back into the quary, the other toward two tun nels that lead out of the mines.

Indiana lifts a shovel from the floor of the car and swings i: 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 twx tunnels.

Back in the quarry, Mola Ram supervises his guards as they shove empty cars toward the tunnel. Carrying long Khyber rifles, they jumps aboard the cars. The first one rolis into the dark tunnel and the second car speeds after it.

The two Thuggee cars shoot past, descend! ng into the darkness in pursuit of the infidels who stole the Sankara Stones.

The mine car hurtles past. 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 o? the car. Willie ducks low, watching the heavy beams flashing canger-

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.

Short Round scurries forward and grabs the brake from Indy.

Indiana is crouched in the back of the zooming mine car blasting away with the pistol he captured in the quarry.

A gunman in the car behind returns his fire, the explosions lighting up the tunnel 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 reloading. Then he lifts his rifle -- Indy pops up simultaneously and shoots!

Indiana runs out of bullets. He sees the car behind getting Closer. He tosses the pistol and hits a Thuggee in the head. Another Thuggee retrieves Indy's pistol and starts reloading it.

Suddenly Indy is being shot at by his own gun and he yells to Short Round --

Indy shoves past Willie and takes the brake lever from Shorty.

Short Round looks scared as Indy releases the brake and the car burtles toward a curve. They grab the sides of the car as it tips precariously. Behind them, the curve throws the gunmen from side

A sharper curve looms ahead and Indy shoves the brake completely off!

Willie closes her eyes as they rocket toward the curve. In the car behind, the Thuggee guard at the breake also shoves the brake off -- and looks extremely worried.

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.

Willie looks terrified but helps Short Round grab onto Indy's ara and the back of his jacket. He slips over the front of the car and swings a leg underneath --

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 definitely wasn't built by army engimeers. 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 hin and he turns and smiles at Willie --

They continue stepping acros the bridge cautiously, a feat made more difficult by the bridge's constant swaying and the heart- stopping up and down movement. .

Behind them, Indy finally pulls himself up from under the bridge. Ee 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 swings 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 guard 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 if, and tries to quickly decide the best way to use it -- “y: : . a

Suddenly the guard shouts an harges. Indy decides shouting must be the "de rigueur” tec ue 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 when temple guards appear at the far end of the bridge.

The guards surprise Willie and Shorty as they finally get across the bridge. Struggling futilely with the guards, Willie shouts at Indiana <=

| WILLIE Indy -= look out behind you!

Indy sees more Thuggee guards rushing out of the tunnel behind him. He turns and sees two of the temple guards who captured Willie and Short Round coming across the bridge in front of hin.

- Indy stands helpless in the middle of the swaying bridge with i guards appreaching 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 an¢ Short Round. Te

The wind whips around Indy and he staggers unsteadily on the swaying bridge as he watches Mola Ram --

Mola Ram shouts in Hindi and the guards start to move toward Indy from both sides of the bridge.

Indiana indicates the bag over his shoulder —

Mola Ram motions and the gaurda move farther out.on both sides of the bridge -- suddenly codtane- e¥ings the sword and it cuts into one of the bottom rope-spans! 5

The rope is half-severed and rays slowly under the tension!

Mola Ram motions again and his guards (looking more nervous now) step farther out onto the bridge, moving 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 both of then.

In different climes this would be called a Mexican stand-off.

Indy and Short Round's eyes meet == and the kid realizes that his hero isn't kidding. Willie looks at Short Round anxiously -— she notices that Shorty is surreptitiously wrapping his foot around a rope support.

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 ropes and slats --

Below them, Indiana has ldtched onto a rope and swings with the bridge as it hits the gorge wall and hangs vertically now, dang- ling from its moo moorings at the top.

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.

Mola Raz shoves the luckless guard down onto Indy, trying to | dislodge him by sacrificing the screaming Thuggee. Indy manages tohang on. The Thuggee is less fortunate and falls screaming to

Mola Ram's fingers are inching nto Indy’ s body -- Indy clutches at Mola Ram's plercing hand, ying to keep the Geadly 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 -~

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 botton.

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 lifeless corpse.

And Indy'’s bag with the Sankara Stones sinxs into the murky cure rent and disappears down the river...

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 -—

Finally the little Maharajah comes out of the dark mine tunnel.
