Indiana Jones And The Kingdom Of The Crystal Skull Page #5

Led by the brilliant Irina Spalko, the Soviets tail Jones and the young man, Mutt, to Peru. With Oxley's code, they find a legendary skull made of a single piece of quartz. If Jones can deliver the skull to its rightful place, all may be well; but if Irina takes it to its origin, she'll gain powers that could endanger the West. Aging professor and young buck join forces with a woman from Jones' past to face the dangers of the jungle, Russia, and the supernatural.

- Henry Jones, Jr...

- That's right, Ox. Listen to me.

"To lay their just hands

on that Golden Key

- "that ope's the Palace of Eternity."

- Palace of...

It's from Milton.

He's said it before. Why?

Ox, you got to tell us

how to get to Akator

or they're gonna kill Marion.

"Through eyes that last I saw in tears,

here in death's dream kingdom..."

Harold, they're gonna kill

Abner's little girl.

Harold, they're gonna kill

Abner's little girl.

You got to tell us how to get there.

We need...

Get me paper. Something to write with.

Autowriting! I should have seen this.

- Henry Jones, Jr.

- Right. That's right, Ox.

Three times it drops. The way down.

- Three times...

- Pictographs.

Ideograms.

Good, Ox. Good.

Ox?

It's me, Ox.

It's Mutt, Ox. Hey, look at me.

Look at me. It's me.

It's me.

The wavy lines mean water, of course.

Closed eyes mean sleep.

The sun with the arc over the sky

stands for time, duration.

The word "now" is "until."

These two close together,

the horizon and the snake,

mean one thought.

The horizon stood for the world,

but it didn't mean the Earth.

It meant big, great.

"The water sleeps

until the great snake."

These aren't just drawings,

they're directions. Get me a map!

The great snake is the Amazon,

of course,

but "sleep," what water sleeps?

Here! Sono.

The Portuguese word for "sleep."

Yes, good. Exactly.

He wants us

to follow this curve of the Sono

down to where it meets the Amazon

to the southeast.

After that, I'm not sure.

Kingdom of dreams, tears and eyes...

I have no idea what he means.

This could be the route, though.

It's a completely unexplored part

of the canopy.

Go, go, go, go, go! Come on!

- Kid, what the hell are we doing, kid?

- They were going to kill us!

- Well, maybe.

- Somebody had to do something!

- Something else would have been good.

- At least I got a plan.

This is intolerable.

Harold, for God's sake, keep up.

Mom?

- Stay back!

- Stop! Stop! Stop! Don't move.

Moving makes space,

space will make you sink.

No, I think I can get out if I can just...

Stop it!

You're pulling against a vacuum.

It's like trying to lift a car.

Just stay calm.

Okay, I'm calm.

- What is it? Quicksand?

- I'm calm.

- No, it's a dry sand pit.

- I'm sinking, but I'm calm.

Quicksand is a mix of sand,

mud and water.

And depending on the viscosity,

it's not as dangerous

- as people sometimes think.

- For Pete's sake, Jones,

we're not in school!

Don't worry. There's nothing

to worry about unless there's a...

A void collapse.

I'll go get something to pull you out.

Ox, don't just sit there.

For God's sake, man, go get help!

- Help?

- Help!

Help?

Help! Go!

Mutt can be a little impetuous.

It's not the worst quality in the world.

Keep your arms above the surface.

When the kid comes back, grab on.

- Indy, he...

- He's a good kid, Marion.

You should get off his back

about school.

- Mutt, I mean...

- Not everybody's cut out for it.

His name is Henry!

Henry. Good name.

He's your son.

My son?

Henry Jones the Third.

Why the hell

didn't you make him finish school?

- Mom, grab on! Grab it!

- Yeah.

I got it.

Come on, Mom! Pull, pull, pull, pull!

Pull!

Grab on.

- Grab it.

- Just grab it, Indy.

It's a rat snake!

- Rat snakes aren't that big.

- Well, this one is, all right?

It's not even poisonous. Now grab on!

- Go get something else.

- Like what?

Like a rope or something.

There's no Sears and Roebuck here!

Grab the snake!

- Maybe I can touch the bottom.

- There's no bottom. Now grab it.

No, I think I can feel it with my feet.

- Grab the snake!

- Stop calling it that!

It's a snake!

What do you want me to call it?

- Say "rope."

- What?

Say "grab the rope."

- Grab the rope!

- Grab the rope!

Hold tight. It's slimy.

Pull!

Get rid of that thing, will you, Son?

Afraid of snakes.

You are one crazy old man.

Why do you have to do everything

the hard way, Jonesey?

Good work, Ox. Thanks.

Help.

No. No, he was British.

My dad was an RAF pilot.

He was a war hero,

not some schoolteacher!

No, sweetheart.

Colin was your stepfather.

We started dating

when you were three months old.

He was a good man.

Wait, wait, wait. Colin?

As in Colin Williams? You...

You married him? I introduced you!

I think you gave up your vote

on who I married

when you decided to break it off

a week before the wedding!

I think we both knew, Marion,

it wasn't going to work.

You didn't know that.

Why didn't you ever talk to me about it?

Because we never had an argument

I won!

It's not my fault if you can't keep up!

I didn't want to hurt you!

For love of God, shut the hell up!

Didn't you ever wonder years ago

why Ox stopped talking to you?

He hated that you ran away.

Would you two just stop?

Yeah, Marion, let's not let the kid see

mom and dad fight.

- You're not my dad, okay?

- You bet I am.

And I got news for you.

You're gonna go back and finish school.

Really? What happened to,

"There's not a damn thing

wrong with it, kid,

"and don't let anybody else

tell you any different"?

You don't remember saying that?

That was before I was your father!

- You're not my father!

- Oh, yes, he is your father.

You should have

told me about the kid, Marion.

I had a right to know.

You vanished after that.

- I wrote.

- A year later!

By then,

Mutt was born and I was married!

Why are you bothering to tell me now?

Because I thought we were gonna die!

Not yet!

Got it?

Oh, sh*t.

I'm sure I wasn't the only one

to go on with my life.

There must've been

plenty of women for you over the years.

Yeah. There were a few,

but they all had the same problem.

Yeah? What's that?

They weren't you, honey.

We got to get Oxley back,

get our hands on that skull

and get to Akator before they do.

Grab the wheel.

What's he gonna do now?

- I don't think he plans that far ahead.

- Yeah.

- Scooch over, will you, Son?

- Don't call me "son." Don't.

I think I'd cover my ears if I were you.

Duck! Duck!

Move, move!

Pull up next to that duck.

Henry Jones, Jr.

Jones!

Come on! Come on!

Get down!

Ox has got the skull.

Marion, take the wheel.

That's not fair. She drove the truck.

Don't be a child.

Find something to fight with.

Jonesey!

- Jonesey!

- Hi, Mac.

- Indy. Indy! Indy!

- Shut up! Shut up!

- You stupid son of a b*tch! I'm CIA.

- CIA.

I almost screamed it at you in the tent.

I said, "Just like Berlin."
