INDIANA JONES AND THE SONS OF DARKNESS

A sturdy wooden platform, metal struts reinforcing it, is anchored
to the cliff face; it extends out from the natural rock ledge,
making access to the cavern much easier.  You get to the cavern
via a solid basket elevator operated by motorised winch.

EXT. THE CAVERN - ON THE WOODEN PLATFORM - JUST AFTER

THE BASKET ELEVATOR RISES UP INTO VIEW.  The generator's NOISE is
less intrusive up here.  Conversation, however, is difficult.
INDY and MR. LOT climb out of the basket and step toward the
opening:
  
                           MR. LOT
             I must --
                           (louder)
             I MUST WARN YOU, DOCTOR -- THOUGH I'M
             SURE IT WON'T SURPRISE YOU -- WE'VE HAD
             OUR SHARE OF DEATH THREATS SINCE
             EXCAVATION STARTED A FEW DAYS AGO.

                           INDY
             WHO?

                           MR. LOT
             THEY CALL THEMSELVES "THE SONS OF
             LIGHT."

                           INDY
             YES ... I'VE HEARD OF THEM. 

HOLD on INDY'S face.  Thoughtful.

INT. DEEPER INTO THE CAVERN - NARROW PASSAGEWAY - JUST AFTER

A series of bulb fixtures, being fed by a SINGLE ELECTRICAL CABLE
anchored to the rock ceiling above, runs the full length of the
cavern and provides enough light for INDY and MR. LOT to navigate
the narrow passageway.  The generator's NOISE isn't so prevalent
this far in.

                           MR. LOT
             Fortunately the scrolls have been
             preserved by the region's extreme
             aridity.

                           MR. LOT CONT.
             We've dated them using a new technique
             developed by Professor Willard Libby,
             University of Chicago: radiocarbon
             dating.  The scrolls date to
             approximately 200 B.C.  Almost two
             millennia ago, Doctor.
