101.
The first explosion happens. It’s a baby compared to what’s coming yet is rocks the earth. It’s terrible. And then, almost immediately, another. The long, irregular, ever-larger chain of explosions begins.

EXT. THE ISLAND - VARIOUS SHOTS - DAY
The island rumbles and shakes. From fissures and small natural caves, dirt and rock shoot out like spraying water. Still the explosion continues. A huge chunk of white cliff falls away into the turbulent sea. Birds scream and soar, afraid to land. Finally, we settle on a full shot of the island. We can recognize that the small opening high on the slope from which a cloud of smoke and dust is billowing is the end of the mine tunnel. And there below it, quite small from this distance is the dock. And the boat that looks like a Greek fishing boat. There can be no mistake even from this far away -- the boat is chugging out to sea.

INT. THE PENTAGON - DAY
Indy, Brody and Marion, looking very stylish, are seated in Colonel Musgrove’s huge office. Sun pours in a window, through which Washington can be seen sparkling across the Potomac. Everything is neat and clean and regular. Including the three men who are arrayed around the office. Two we know - - Col. Musgrove and Maj. Eaton. The third is an unnamed Bureaucrat. He hangs back, smiling and genial, his features obscured by the glare of the window. He doesn’t say anything, yet you have a sense that the others defer to him in the matter at hand. He is the essence of all that is Byzantine and inscrutable in our scrubbed government machine. Indy and Brody are dissatisfied with the way the meeting has gone. Marion, on the other hand, is very happy and eager to get out of there. Eaton’s manner is irritatingly cheery.
MUSGROVE You’ve done your country a great service. EATON --And we trust you found the settlement satisfactory?
MARION
Quite.
