INDIANA JONES AND THE SONS OF DARKNESS

                           MR. LOT
                     (shouting)
             THE DEPARTMENT WILL SOON BEGIN
             EXCAVATING THE REMAINING CAVES IN THIS
             AREA.

                           INDY
             THAT'S GREAT!  WHAT ARE THE CHANCES OF
             GETTING ME ON ONE OF THE EXCAVATION
             TEAMS? 

As INDY is asking that a CREEPY BEDOUIN WORKER, eyeing the men out
the corner of his eye, sets down a load of coiled rope and then
surreptitiously draws a

GLEAMING DAGGER FROM THE FOLDS OF HIS GARMENTS!

                           MR. LOT
             DOCTOR, WITH YOUR REPUTATION I'M CERTAIN
             THE DEPARTMENT WILL WELCOME --

Suddenly MR. LOT gasps!  He quickly falls away --

LOT'S FACE IS REPLACED BY THE CREEPY BEDOUIN'S SNARLING MUG.  THE
DAGGER CLUTCHED IN HIS HAND IS SMEARED WITH LOT'S BLOOD. 

INDY stumbles backwards.  CREEPY starts toward INDY menacingly,
the dagger up, its metal blade catching the sunlight.  INDY blinks
as the reflected sunlight stings his eyes.  INDY STEPS BACKWARD
off the wooden platform and onto the natural cliff ledge.  

NOW TWO MORE NASTY BEDOUINS DROP IN FROM THE CLIFF FACE ABOVE THE
CAVERN.  Call them SPOOKY and SCARY.  INDY puts out his hands as a
show of peace.  He speaks in ARABIC:

                           INDY (*subtitled*)
             I MEAN YOU NO HARM.

SHHHINK!  SPOOKY and SCARY whip out daggers of their own!  

                           INDY (*subtitled*)
             NO HARM!  NO HARM! 
                     (grumbling)
             Not working!
                     (shouting)
             HEY!  SOMEBODY!  I GOT A BIG PROBLEM
             HERE!

DOWN IN THE CAMP, NO ONE CAN HEAR INDY OVER THE GENERATOR'S AWFUL
RACKET. 

BACK ON THE LEDGE, the dagger trio are advancing.

INDY glances quickly over his shoulder.  He's not at all surprised
by what he sees:

HE IS RUNNING OUT OF LEDGE.  IT'S JUST A FEW MORE STEPS TO THE
EDGE AND THEN IT'S A 30 FOOT DROP STRAIGHT DOWN!

INDY quickly takes inventory: he looks up -- no good -- sheer
rocks above -- the basket elevator -- nope, too far away.  Uh-huh,
it appears our hero is trapped! 

INDY scowls! 

Then INDY spots a rope at his feet -- not a rope -- a black cable.
IT'S A THICK ELECTRICAL CABLE.  The same one we saw anchored along
the ceiling inside the cavern --

WE DROP QUICKLY ALONG THE CABLE ... ALL THE WAY DOWN THE CLIFF
FACE TO SEE:
