out that Indy figured out that the idol Beloque took from him
In Raiders was not the real Idol but a decoy!!!!! I'll explain
in greater detail when I post the next installment.

: : Screenplay By: Christopher Housepian

: : Story By: Christopher Housepian

: : Working Draft
: : NOT FOR REPRODUCTION

: : “Indy IV”

: :
: : FROM THE PARAMOUNT LOGO --

: : MATCH DISSOLVE TO: A plate of steaming rice in the shape of the Paramount logo.
: :
: : FADE IN: EX. UNKNOWN LOCATION DEEP IN THE JUNGLES OF SOUTH AMERICA –
: : MORNING: We see an encampment near the bank of a quiet river Just behind the lone tent a vaguely familiar red and white pontoon bi-plane has been beached. Except for the rice cooking, the camp appears to be deserted. All this looks very familiar.

: : AT THE BOTTOM OF THE SCREEN IS THIS: Peru 1952

: : PULLS BACK: The vague sound of crunching leaves in the distance is audible over the running river.

: : CLOSE UP ON TENT: The tent begins to move, presumably an awaking Jones.

: : PAN TO LEFT OF ENCAMPMENT: The footsteps are getting closer. Bushes are moving. Someone’s coming.

: : PAN BACK TO TENT AS THE FLAPS OPEN: A man, fiftyish with gray hair and glasses peeks out from the tent checking to see who’s there.

: : BACK TO THE BUSHES:
: : CLOSE UP ON A SILHOUETTED FIGURE FROM THE WAIST DOWN: He takes a step forward.

: : PAN AROUND TO THE FIGURE’S BACK AS HE WALKS INTO THE ENCAMPMENT AND
: : STANDS IN FRONT OF THE TENT: From here we can see the relived expression on the face of the man in the tent.

: : MAN IN TENT: Thank god its just you, I thought it might have been the Hovitos.

: : CUT TO THE SILHOUETTED MAN’S FACE AS HE STEPS INTO A RAY OF SUNLIGHT COMING
: : THROUGH THE TREES: The sunlight reveals to us that the silhouetted figure is Indiana Jones.

: : INDY: Relax Jock, the Hovitos are miles from here…. Hurry up and get dressed. Lets get moving we need to get out of here before the storm comes.

: : JOCK: All right, all right, I’m coming. Hold your bloody horses. Just let me get a bit of breakfast.

: : INDY: We don’t have time for breakfast.

: : JOCK: But… but

: : INDY: AS IF TALKING TO A CHILD - Look, we have to get the idol. The idol is in the temple, and I’m not sure where the temple is.

: : JOCK: APPREHENSIVE – What do you mean you don’t know where the temple is, you said you had everything figured out before we left.

: : INDY: Everything but that.

: : JOCK: Don’t you think THAT is sort of important?

: : INDY: Yes, but I’ve been here before. It shouldn’t be that hard to find again.

: : CUT TO: EX. JUNGLE LATE AFTERNOON – The two men, covered in sweat, and caked with dirt from head to toe fight their way through the dense jungle. They have been searching for hours, and have gained only bug bites.

: : JOCK: Indy we’ve been searching for hours, why don’t you just admit it, you have no idea where this place is.

: : INDY: We’re close, I can feel it.

: : JOCK: You’ve said that a hundred times.

: : INDY: Trust me.

: : JOCK: You’ve said that too.

: : INDY LEAVES JOCK AND WALKS OVER TO A CLIFFSIDE COVERED WITH VINES: Indy raises his machete and takes a swing at the brush. The plants fall away and reveal a set of well worn, moss covered rock steps. The steps lead up to a stone doorway, and blocking the doorway is a gigantic granite boulder.

: : INDY: I told you we’d find it.

: : JOCK: What good does this do us? The entry is blocked

: : INDY: Plenty, now that we have found the main entrance the map will help us find the location of the secondary entrance.

: : JOCK: Why would they have built a second entrance?

: : INDY: Because if for some reason a trap like the boulder was triggered during the construction of the temple the workers would still be able to complete the job.

: : JOCK: But wouldn’t that leave the temple open to scavengers?

: : INDY: Yes, but the entrance will be well hidden, and probably have just as many, if not more traps as the main entrance.

: : JOCK: Well that’s comforting.

: : CUT TO A CLOSE UP OF INDY’S HANDS AS HE EXAMINES THE MAP

: : INDY: POINTING TO THE MAP - We’re here, and the second entrance is up there.

: : CUT TO A SHOT OF INDY’S ARM POINTING TWORD THE TOP OF THE MOUNTAIN

: : CUT TO A CRANE SHOT ABOVE THE TWO MEN WALKING THROUGH A CLEARING HIGH ABOVE THE MAIN ENTRANCE – The setting sun and the shimmering ripples of the windblown surf are
: : visible over the cliffside.

: : INDY: According to the map we need to find a large obelisk. It’s near the second entrance.

: : CUT TO A SHOT OF THE TWO MEN FROM THE FRONT AS THEY WALK: SUDDENLY JOCK FALLS OUT OF THE FRAME – We see Jock lying face down in the dirt. Indy begins to laugh, as he
: : helps Jock to his feet.

: : JOCK: SARCASTICLY – Thank you so much Indy. I take time to fly you down here, I traipse through the jungle all day looking for some temple that you don’t even know the location of, and this is the thanks I get? You laugh at me when I fall.

: : INDY: I’m not laughing at you, I’m laughing at what you found.

: : INDY: POINTS TO THE GROUND – You tripped over the obelisk.

: : JOCK: IMBARRESED – Oh

: : INDY WHIPS OUT HIS MACHETTE AND CUTS AWAY THE OVERGROWN WEEDS, REVEALING THE HALF BURRIED OBELISK – It’s pointing back toward the plane.

: : CUT TO A SHOT OF JOCK STANDING NEAR THE PLANE UNDER THE JUNGLE CANOPY, AS INDY AGAIN USES HIS MACHETTE TO CUT AWAY THE DENSE JUNGLE BRUSH

: : INDY: EXCITEDLY – I found it!

: : JOCK: you mean WE found it.

: : INDY: STANDING NEAR THE ENTRANCE – Are you coming?

: : JOCK: Poison darts, bottomless pits and giant rolling boulders, no thanks I think I’ll stay here.

: : INDY: Suit yourself.

: : LEAVING JOCK, INDY BRUSHES AWAY SOME COBWEBS AND HEADS THROUGH THE ENTRANCE: ONCE INSIDE HE REACHES INTO HIS POCKET AND WHIPS OUT HIS LIGHTER - The eerie orange flicker of the flame reveals a narrow passageway crawling with bugs.

: : INDY: UNDER HIS BREATH – Bugs I can handle, but please don’t let there be snakes.

: : CUT TO INDYS BACK AS HE ADVANCES DOWN THE HALLWAY – He comes to the end of the hallway and finds a dead end.

: : CLOSE-UP INDY’S FACE EXTREEMELY PUZZLED – I was so sure I was right. Its got to be here. I didn’t come all this way for nothing.

: : PAN TOWARD INDY’S FEET, AND THE FLOOR AHEAD: REVEALING A LIGHT HAZE – What the?

: : WIDE SHOT OF INDY PULLING OUT HIS MACHETTE ONCE AGAIN AND CHIPPING A ROCK OFF THE WALL

: : DOWN SHOT AS HE TOSSES THE STONE INTO THE GROUND AHEAD: IT DISSAPEARS INTO THE HAZE WITHOUT A SOUND – you’ve GOT to be kidding me.

: : HE KNEELS DOWN AND SITS, LEGS DAGLING OVER THE EDGE DISSAPEARING INTO THE MIST

: : FRONT LOW ANGLE SHOT AS INDY SITS – The things I do for archeology.

: :
: :

: : Let me know what you think -- your ideas are welcome.

: : More to come if you want it
