Henry follows Indy down the staircase.

INT. CAVERN / UNDERGROUND HARBOR - DAY

The stairway deposits Indy and Henry into an enormous WATERY

CAVERN beneath the mountain on which the castle was built.

A full-scale Nazi BOAT DOCK has been built inside the cavern.

We see MOTORBOATS, GUNBOATS, SUPPLY BOATS, etc.

INDY:

Great. More boats.

Indy boards one of the motorboats and STARTS THE MOTOR.

HENRY:

Would you say this has been just

another typical day for you? Huh?

Henry tosses his case at Indy who catches it and angrily

throws it back to his father.

INDY:

(ironically)

Ooof! No! It's been better than most.

Indy moves back to the dock and pushes the boat away. Henry

looks confused.

INDY:

Come on, Dad. Come on!

HENRY:

What about the boat? We're not going

on the boat?

INT. SECRET ROOM - DAY

Vogel and the Nazi Soldiers enter the room and spot the spiral

staircase leading below. They quickly descend the stairs.

INT. CAVERN / UNDERGROUND HARBOR - DAY

As Vogel and the Nazi Soldiers rush to the dock. Vogel sees

that a motorboat is missing. He orders the Nazi Soldiers

into a boat.

VOGEL:

Sie alle ins Boat. Schnell!

CAMERA PULLS BACK TO REVEAL

A large box which suddenly BREAKS APART as Indy, now on a

motorbike with Henry in the sidecar, ROARS PAST THE DOCK,

hitting TWO NAZI SOLDIERS who scream as they fall into the

river.

Vogel screams after Indy and Henry as they drive off.

STRAIGHT CUT TO:

EXT. COUNTRY ROAD - DAY

Indy looks pleased as he drives the motorbike along the road,

but Henry appears worried.

INDY:

Ha!

FOUR NAZI SOLDIERS ON MOTORCYCLES

They chase down the road after Indy and Henry.

Indy turns the motorbike down a smaller, dusty tree-lined

road. Henry gasps as he is jostled about in the sidecar. One

of the Nazi Soldiers gives chase along a higher road running

in the same direction.

EXT. ROAD BARRICADE - DAY

Indy approaches the barricade from one direction as one of

the Nazi Soldiers approaches from a higher road.

A GUARD steps from the road station and calls to the vehicles

as Indy and Henry SMASH THROUGH THE BARRICADE.

GUARD:

Halt! Halt!

The Nazi Soldier rides his motorcycle through the other side

of the barrier -- IT SHATTERS.

INDY AND HENRY:

Indy grabs at a FLAGPOLE as they roar past -- it snaps off

in his hand.

The Nazi Soldier drives his motorcycle toward Indy and Henry.

He unshoulders his machine gun.

Indy uses the broken flagpole as a lance and knocks the Nazi

Soldier from his motorcycle.

THE RIDERLESS MOTORCYCLE

Drives on toward the other Nazi Soldiers now approaching the

guardhouse, COLLIDING WITH TWO OF THEM.

The remaining Nazi Soldier maneuvers his motorcycle around

his fallen comrades and continues the chase.

INDY AND HENRY:

As the remaining Nazi Soldier rides alongside their motorbike

he c*cks his gun, preparing to fire.

Indy quickly jams the remaining portion of the flagpole

through the spokes of the Nazi's front wheel.

The NAZI SOLDIER'S MOTORCYCLE FLIPS THREE TIMES, throwing

him high into the air.

Indy glances back and smiles, but the smile fades as he looks

forward again to see a sign at a CROSSROAD. Arrows pointing

in opposite directions indicate the way to "BERLIN" or

"VENEDIG".

Indy starts down the road marked "VENEDIG".

HENRY:

Stop!

INDY:

What?

HENRY:

Stop! Stop!

The motorbike skids to a stop.

HENRY:

You're going the wrong Way! We have

to get to Berlin!

INDY:

(pointing towards

Venedig)

Brody's this way.

HENRY:

My Diary's in Berlin.

INDY:

You don't need the Diary, Dad. Marcus

has the map.

HENRY:

There is more in the Diary than just

the map.

INDY:

All right Dad -- tell me.

HENRY:

Well, he who finds the Grail must

face the final challenge.

INDY:

What final challenge?

HENRY:

Three devices of such lethal cunning.

INDY:

Booby traps?

HENRY:

Oh, yes. But I found the clues that

will safely take us through, in the

Chronicles of St. Anselm.

INDY:

But what are they? Can't you remember?

HENRY:

I wrote them down in my Diary so

that I wouldn't have to remember.

INDY:

Half the German Army's on our tail

and you want me to go to Berlin?

Into the lion's den?
