Indiana Jones And The Last Crusade Page #28

BULLETS EXPLODE off the vehicles and cliff. Donovan and Elsa

duck.

A NAZI SOLDIER falls from the tank as BULLETS EXPLODE around

him.

KAZIM'S MEN, BRETHREN OF THE CRUCIFORM SWORD, continue to

FIRE. Elsa and Donovan take cover beside the parked car.

DONOVAN:

It's Jones, all right.

ANGLE ON INDY'S GROUP

Indy and Henry, followed by Sallah, take cover behind a rock

to watch Kazim's Men and the Nazi Troops exchanging fire

below them.

HENRY:

Now, who are all these people?

INDY:

Who cares? As long as they're keeping

Donovan busy. Dad, you stay here

while Sallah and I organize some

transportation.

CUT BACK to the action. The BRETHREN are firing at the Donovan

party and are being fired on by the Donovan party.

TWO NAZI SOLDIERS throw HAND GRENADES into the cliffs. They

EXPLODE, killing one of Kazim's Brethren.

The battle continues -- a fierce exchange of GUNSHOTS,

GRENADES and MACHINE GUN FIRE with losses on both sides.

INDY AND SALLAH:

Crouch behind a rock watching as men on both sides of the

battle run amongst camels and horses.

INDY:

I'm going after those horses.

SALLAH:

I'll take the camels.

INDY:

I don't need camels.

SALLAH:

But, Indy --

INDY:

No camels!

DONOVAN AND ELSA

They look down at Kazim who lies mortally wounded on the

ground at their feet. Elsa looks saddened.

DONOVAN:

(re:
Kazim)

Who is he?

KAZIM:

A messenger from God. For the

unrighteous, the Cup of Life holds

everlasting damnation.

Kazim dies.

INDY:

Leaps atop a TURKISH SOLDIER on horseback, pulling the man

and the horse to the ground. A SECOND TURK comes to assist

his comrade; Indy mounts the horse, knocking both Turks to

the ground.

INT. THE TANK - DAY

Brody has been left alone in the tank. Henry climbs down

into the tank and taps Brody on the shoulder, startling him.

HENRY:

Marcus!

BRODY:

Arghhh! Oh!

They exchange an old University Club toast, swinging their

arms at one another and missing. Then Henry flaps his arms

and tugs his ears.

HENRY:

"Genius of the Restoration --"

Now Brody tugs his ears, flaps his arms and touches his head.

BRODY:

"-- aid our own resuscitation!"

They exchange a handshake.

BRODY:

Henry! What are you doing here?!

HENRY:

It's a rescue, old boy. Come on.

As Henry starts to climb out of the tank, TWO NAZI SOLDIERS

DROP DOWN from above, their Lugers drawn. They are followed

by Vogel.

VOGEL:

(re:
Henry)

Search him.

The Nazi Soldiers point their guns at Henry and Brody.

VOGEL:

(to Henry)

What is in this book? That miserable

little Diary of yours!

Vogel removes a glove and slaps Henry with it.

VOGEL:

Here's the map. The book is useless,

and yet you come all the way back to

Berlin to get it. Why?

He slaps Henry again.

VOGEL:

What are you hiding?

Another slap.

VOGEL:

What does the Diary tell you that it

doesn't tell us?!

Vogel reaches out to slap Henry yet again, but Henry grabs

his arm, stopping him.

HENRY:

It tells me that goose-stepping morons

like yourself should try reading

books instead of burning them.

Donovan appears at the turret cover.

DONOVAN:

Colonel? Jones is getting away.

VOGEL:

(indicating Henry)

I think not, Herr Donovan.

EXT. TANK - DAY

DONOVAN:

Not that Jones -- the other Jones!

NAZI SOLDIER:

Herr Colonel!

EXT. DESERT VALLEY - DAY

Indy rides away on one horse, leading three others as he

goes.

Sallah approaches on horseback leading five camels.

INDY:

Sallah, I said no camels! That's

five camels. Can't you Count?

SALLAH:

Compensation for my brother-in-law's

car. Indy, your father and Brody --

INDY:

Where's my father?

SALLAH:

They have them. In the belly of that

steel beast.

Indy and Sallah charge forward leading their horses and

camels.

Then Vogel commands the Tank Driver to give chase.

INT. TANK - DAY

Vogel shouts to the Tank Driver.
