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.

What were we in Berlin, mate?

- Double agents!

- The skull!

Throw me the skull!

Throw me the skull!

Riposte.

Riposte.

Get on your front foot. Riposte.

It's not a match, Mom.

You fight like a young man,

eager to begin, quick to finish.

Mutt, disengage!

Hey! Hey, I got the skull!

- Throw the bag! Throw it!

- Throw the bag!

- Gun!

- Gun!

What are you looking at, Daddy-o?

She's getting away!

This is very dangerous.

Do svidanya, Dr. Jones.

Jones!

Whoa.

Whoa.

Whoa!

Turn!

- Siafu.

- What?

Big damn ants! Go!

Run to the river!

Get to the river!

Jump in! Come on! Come on!

Mom, there's a cliff!

- Jonesey, come on!

- Get in, Jones!

- Mom, stop.

- Mom, slow down.

- Honey, stop.

- Slow down, Mom.

- You're gonna go off the cliff.

- That's the idea.

- Bad idea. Give me the wheel.

- Trust me!

Slow down!

- Don't ever do that again.

- Yes, dear.

Three times it drops.

Reverse. Put it in reverse! Full reverse!

- I'm trying! I'm trying!

- Whoa, whoa, whoa, Mom!

The way down.

He means by land. He came by land.

- Three times it drops?

- Three times it drops.

What is he talking about?

He means one!

Two!

Three.

You okay? Babe? Let go.

"Through eyes that last I saw in tears."

"The golden vision reappears!"

Gold. I'm in.

Through eyes... Through eyes in tears.

We got to go through that waterfall!

The skull has to be returned.

I'll do it. Nobody else has to come.

Who cares?

It's brought us nothing but trouble.

Look what it did to him.

- I have to return it.

- Why you?

Because it told me to.

- Ochre, iron oxide, charcoal.

- Oxy, stay with us.

How old is this?

Four or five thousand years.

Old as the pyramids.

Look, sun worshippers,

like the Egyptians.

This is fresh. These were just used.

More worshippers.

Yeah, but that's not

the sun they're worshipping.

Someone came

and taught the Ugha farming.

Irrigation.

Ox, what is it?

I think I understand, Ox.

Someone came?

Are they the same?

There were more. Look.

Thirteen in a circle.

Show us the way, Ox.

- Let's go. Go, go, go! Run! Run, go!

- Go!

Indy!

Jonesey!

Oxley!

You were here before.

How did you get past them?

Come on, Mac. Come on!

Come on, Mac.

Come on, come on, come on.

"To lay their just hands

on that Golden Key

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

- Come on, Ox.

You did good, Ox. You did good.

City of gold. So where's all the gold?

Look at the state of this place.

What a stupid legend.

What a waste of my time.

Ox was here before,

but he couldn't get into the temple,

so he took the skull back

to the cemetery, where he found it.

"To lay their just hands

on that Golden Key

"that ope's the Palace of Eternity."

Key that ope's the palace.

The obelisk. The obelisk is the key?

What are you looking for, Ox?

What are you doing?

You figured this out in your cell,

didn't you, Professor?

Excuse me, Professor.

Well done.

Go get your own.

Listen.

Hear that?

Get up! Move! Ox, move!

Faster! Faster!

Faster! Faster!

Faster!

This is not good. Move, Ox! Move!

Quick! Quick! Quick!

I don't like this! I don't like it!

- Mom, come on!

- Jonesey!

He dropped it. He dropped the skull!

Okay?

Hold this.

Ox, you okay?

Lovely.

All right, let's go.

This way?

Now that's more like it.

There are artifacts

from every era of early history.

Macedonian.

- Sumerian.

- This place is the mother lode.

Etruscan. Babylonian.

There isn't a museum in the world

that wouldn't sell its soul for this lot.

Early Egyptian.

Dozens of museums.

Hundreds of them, Jonesey!

Collectors.

They were archeologists.

How do we open it?

I'll give it back, Ox. I promise.

No more forever waiting.

Soon now.

Sorry, Jonesey.

So what are you, a triple agent?

Nah, I just lied about being a double.

Look at them!

Still waiting for the return

of the one who was lost.

They are a hive mind.

One being physically separate,

but with a collective consciousness.

More powerful together

than they can ever be apart.

Imagine what they could tell us.

I can't imagine.

Neither could the humans

that built this temple,

and neither can you.

Belief, Dr. Jones,

is a gift you have yet to receive.

My sympathies.

Oh, I believe, sister.

That's why I'm down here.

- Mayan. He's speaking Mayan.

- What does he say?

He says he's grateful and he wants...

It.

It wants to give us a gift.

A big gift.

Tell me everything you know.

I want to know everything.

I want to know.

I've got a bad feeling about this.

Indy?

The eyes.

What are they? Spacemen?

Interdimensional beings, in point of fact.

Welcome back, Ox.

What the hell is that?

A portal!

A pathway to another dimension!

I don't think we want to go that way.

I want to know.

I want to know.

Tell me. I'm ready. I want to know.

Mac! Mac! Come on!

Mac!

Mac, damn it, now!

I can see.

I can see!

Grab it!

Use your legs, Mac. I can't do it alone.

Jonesey!

I'm going to be all right.

No more!

Cover it. Cover it.

Go!

Enough!

Enough!

Go! Go!

Like a broom to their footprints.

Where did they go? Space?

Not into space.

Into the space between spaces.

I don't understand.

Why this legend of a city of gold?

The Ugha word for gold

translates as "treasure."

But their treasure wasn't gold.

It was knowledge.

Knowledge was their treasure.

What? We're just going to sit here?

Night falls quick in the jungle, kid.

You don't want to

climb down the mountain in the dark.

No?

I can. Who's coming with me?

Come on.

Why don't you stick around, Junior?

I don't know. Why didn't you, Dad?

Dad!

Dad?

Somewhere your grandpa is laughing.

Marvelous! Perfect!

Make the letters bigger, much bigger.

Henry Jones, Jr.,

and Marion Ravenwood,

insomuch in that you two have agreed

to live together in holy matrimony,

have promised your love for each other

by these vows

the joining of your hands

and the giving of these rings,

I now declare you

to be husband and wife.

Whom God hath put together,

let no one tear asunder.

"How much of human life

is lost in waiting!"

Congratulations.

You may kiss your bride.

Well done, Henry!

- Thanks, Ox.

- Thanks, Ox.
