SCENE 17 – STYCH’S SECRET REVEALED

INDIANA makes his way to the edge of a cliff and sits down, grabbing his left shoulder in pain.  RUSSIAN 3(3) comes up behind INDIANA and kicks him off the cliff.  INDIANA is able to grab the side of the cliff, hanging over the edge.  RUSSIAN 3(3) steps on INDIANA’S fingers to make him fall from the edge, but INDIANA is able to grab RUSSIAN 3(3)’S leg and pull him over the edge.  RUSSIAN 3(3) screams as he falls to his death.  INDIANA continues to scrape at the cliff and try to pull himself up.  STYCH makes his way to the edge of the cliff and sees INDIANA hanging there.  STYCH kneels down to talk to INDIANA, but he doesn’t help him.

STYCH
Things aren’t looking good, Doctor.  Velnikov took the Spirit.  I told you we couldn’t let him have it.

INDIANA

Well help me up!

INDIANA reaches a hand out to STYCH, but STYCH ignores him.

INDIANA

We’ll go get him.

STYCH stands up and begins to take off his U.S. Army CAMOFLAGE SUIT.  STYCH is now speaking with a German accent.

STYCH

I don’t think so, Dr. Jones.

STYCH is wearing a black leather jacket with a Nazi swastika and black pants.  STYCH turns around in a circle so that INDIANA can see the Nazi SWASTIKA.  STYCH kneels down to talk to INDIANA.

INDIANA

You son of a bitch!

STYCH

Shut your mouth, Dr. Jones.  It is entirely unfortunate that I have no more use for you.  Only one thing matters now.  And that is the success of our Fuhrer.  You would do the same thing, were you in my position.

INDIANA

You Nazis are scum.

STYCH

And so are Americans!  Listen Dr. Jones, I’d love to stay and chat, but I have to go with my brother, Konrad, to retrieve the Spirit which you helped loose.

STYCH stands up at the edge of the cliff.

STYCH

So I have to bid you a very, very fond farewell now, courtesy of Adolf Hitler!

STYCH begins to laugh as he kicks INDIANA’S hands, making him fall down the cliff.  STYCH continues to laugh uncontrollably.  INDIANA is rolling down the bottom of the cliff when he is stopped by the dead body of RUSSIAN 3(3).  INDIANA slowly gets up, brushes himself off, grabs his FEDORA from the ground, and runs off screen.  Shot of STYCH walking down a trail still laughing and putting on his SUNGLASSES. 

SCENE 18 – RUNNING INTO KONRAD

INDIANA is running through some trees in the forest.  Shot of KONRAD STYCH hiding behind a tree and holding a large BRANCH with INDIANA running towards him.  KONRAD is wearing a black leather jacket and gray pants.  As INDIANA reaches the tree, KONRAD jumps out and swings the BRANCH into INDIANA’S stomach.  INDIANA falls to the ground as the BRANCH breaks in half.  KONRAD walks over to INDIANA on the ground. 

KONRAD

Going somewhere, Dr. Jones?  You look like you’re in pain.  You should not be.  See, pain is all relative.

KONRAD begins to unbutton his leather jacket.

KONRAD

You think first, that it is cold outside.  Of course, you wear warm clothing to keep yourself warm.  However, that is because you are relative to pain.  You’re weak.

KONRAD throws his LEATHER JACKET on the ground behind him, and then he takes off his white UNDERSHIRT and also throws it on the ground.

KONRAD

See if the cold doesn’t bother you, and you don’t feel pain, you are not weak.  Get up, Dr. Jones.

INDIANA begins to hesitantly stand up.  KONRAD calmly waits for INDIANA to completely stand up.  INDIANA punches KONRAD in the stomach, but KONRAD just stands his ground and lets INDIANA hit him.  INDIANA yells in pain as his hand is hurt.  INDIANA then tries to run at KONRAD, but KONRAD picks him up and throws him to the ground.  INDIANA gets back up and tries to throw a punch at KONRAD’S head, but KONRAD grabs his hand and head butts him to the ground again.

KONRAD

Come on, Dr. Jones.

KONRAD begins to walk away from INDIANA as he slowly gets up.  INDIANA runs after KONRAD while his back is turned, but KONRAD is able to grab INDIANA behind his back, elbows him, and kicks him in the stomach.  INDIANA again falls to the ground.  While KONRAD is confidently walking around INDIANA, INDIANA is able to kick KONRAD in the midsection.  KONRAD yells and bends over in pain.  INDIANA then runs at KONRAD, but KONRAD picks him up on his shoulders, smashes his head into a tree, and drops him to the ground.  INDIANA is lying with his head against the tree.

KONRAD

No time for rest, Dr. Jones.

KONRAD then misses a kick to INDIANA’S head when INDIANA dodges.  INDIANA is able to punch KONRAD in the midsection, causing KONRAD to bend over in pain.

INDIANA

Looks like you’re the one in pain.

INDIANA pulls out his WHIP and tries to slash KONRAD, but KONRAD is able to grab the end of the WHIP and pull INDIANA in for a clothesline.  With INDIANA on the ground, KONRAD has INDIANA’S WHIP in his hand.

KONRAD

This looks like your whip, Dr. Jones.

KONRAD cracks the WHIP twice.

KONRAD

How would you like it back?

KONRAD swings the WHIP at INDIANA’S head but misses, and the WHIP gets wrapped around a tree.  INDIANA reaches up, grabs the WHIP, and pulls it toward the tree.  KONRAD gets pulled into the tree and gets stunned.  INDIANA is able to punch KONRAD in the midsection again, knocking him to the ground face first.  INDIANA picks up his WHIP and wraps it around KONRAD’S neck.  INDIANA keeps the WHIP tight as KONRAD chokes and dies.  INDIANA then gathers his WHIP and falls down exhausted.  INDIANA gets up and runs off screen.  Shot of KONRAD lying face down on the ground.

SCENE 19 – THE RUSSIAN BASE

VELNIKOV and HAMLIN are in an office with the SPIRIT OF THE PEOPLE, a GUN, and BOOKS on a table.

VELNIKOV

Well Hamlin, it looks like your contact was right.  Stych and the Germans got to the tunnel before us, but we managed to capture the Spirit from them.

HAMLIN

Excellent.

VELNIKOV

I just can’t seem to understand why Dr. Jones would be working for the Nazis.

HAMLIN

He’s a traitor to his country.

VELNIKOV

Was a traitor.  I’m sure my men have disposed of them all.  Everything is going as planned.

HAMLIN talks under his breath.

HAMLIN

That’s what you think.

Shot of Russian base from above as INDIANA runs to the top of a hill.  INDIANA puts his hands on his hips, then runs down the hill toward the base.

SCENE 20 – TRANSLATING THE SPIRIT

VELNIKOV is studying the base of the SPIRIT OF THE PEOPLE with BOOKS around him.

VELNIKOV

I believe I have it translated.

HAMLIN

Excellent.  And…

VELNIKOV

It says that the Spirit has the power to control minds.

HAMLIN

Mind control?  How do we turn it on?

VELNIKOV passes a NOTE across the table to HAMLIN.  Writings can be seen on the NOTE

VELNIKOV

This prayer must be read aloud in the caves from which the Spirit of the People was carved.

SCENE 21 – HAMLIN’S SECRET REVEALED

STYCH bursts into the room and points his GUN at VELNIKOV.

VELNIKOV

Stych? 

VELNIKOV turns to HAMLIN.

Hamlin, get him!

I’m afraid I can’t do that, Velnikov.  See, now everything’s going as planned.

STYCH

We just needed you to translate the idol for us.

INDIANA is ducking behind a CRATE with RUSSIAN # approaching from the left and RUSSIAN 5 approaching from the right.  A GUNSHOT is heard from the building.  RUSSIAN # and RUSSIAN 5 turn around and begin to run towards the noise.  INDIANA waits until they leave, then follows quietly.  Shot of RUSSIAN 5 standing guard when INDIANA comes around the corner of a brown building with his WHIP armed.  INDIANA whistles to get RUSSIAN 5 to turn around.  INDIANA throws his WHIP at RUSSIAN 5.  The WHIP wraps around RUSSIAN 5’S GUN, causing it to fly through the air.  INDIANA knocks RUSSIAN 5 out.

Shot from the ground as VELNIKOV drops face first from his knees to the ground dead.  HAMLIN walks over to a MAP on the table and points to it.

HAMLIN

The Caves of Kapova.  Located over the mountains about 15 miles from here.

STYCH

The caves are said to have been the location of a meteor crash hundreds of years ago.  A piece of the meteor was carved into this idol, giving the Spirit its power.

HAMLIN grabs the MAP from the table and signals for STYCH to exit.  STYCH steps over VELNIKOV’S body to the door.  Shot from in front of RUSSIAN 3(5) as INDIANA sneaks from behind a bush to break his neck.  INDIANA hears voices from around the bush.  STYCH and HAMLIN are standing by a QUAD.

STYCH

With Jones and Velnikov off our backs, no one can stop us from unleashing the wrath of the Spirit and controlling the minds of all who oppose us.

HAMLIN

The Caves of Kapova are straight over those mountains.  Let’s make haste.

HAMLIN and STYCH get on the QUAD and head for the mountains.  Shot of INDIANA hiding behind the bush.

Hamlin a Nazi?  I should have figured.

INDIANA

What do you think you’re doing, Stych?

HAMLIN looks frightened.  STYCH stays calm.

HAMLIN

What the hell was that?  This place must be haunted.

INDIANA walks into the light from the TORCH.

STYCH

Jones?

HAMLIN

I thought you said he was disposed of.

STYCH

Nice of you to drop by.

INDIANA

Yeah, thanks for the help back there.

HAMLIN

Sorry, but you’re too late.  The Spirit is already activated.

STYCH

And you’re just in time to try it out with me, Jones.

INDIANA

What?  You think I’m stupid enough to let you…

Now, Dr. Jones, why don’t you toss your gun over here.

INDIANA

Yes sir.

I hope you’re happy.

STYCH throws INDIANA back to the ground.  INDIANA begins to get to his feet.
