Indy swings for the Samurai’s feet; the Samurai jumps nimbly, slashing at the whip. Indy does it gain. The Samurai hops it. Once more. The Samurai is concentrating on hopping it. Indy sees it. The split second he wants. The whip flashes up from the floor and wraps solidly and irrevocably around the Samurai’s neck. Indy gives it a murderous pull and the Samurai is dead on his feet.

EXT. HOK’S PALACE - SECOND FLOOR WALKWAY - DAY
Hok and the three Germans are looking down at the flaming remains of the Mercedes. A look of concern crosses Hok’s face. He turns and runs back toward his beloved museum.

INT. HOK’S MUSEUM
Indy is at the case containing the headpiece. He smashes the glass with a samurai sword, reaches in and grabs the piece. Immediately, behind him, the huge hammer falls and the sound of the gong thunders through the museum.

EXT. HOK’S PALACE - SECOND FLOOR WALKWAY - DAY
At the sound of the gong, the running Hok skids to a halt with a crazed expression on his face. He disappears for two seconds in an alcove and emerges holding a big, black Thompson Submachine Gun. He runs across the foot bridge and is just barely over it when it blows up. Hok, safe, looks behind him in amazement and then turns to the museum.

INT. HOK’S MUSEUM
The double doors at the entrance slam open to reveal Hok.
Indy is halfway along an unprotected wall back to his ventilation entry route. Hok opens up on him, cutting off his retreat. Indy jumps behind a marble column, which is promptly blasted with machine gun fire. Indy looks above him, sees the giant disk of the gong. Reaching up, pushing with tremendous effort, he maneuvers it off the hook. It bounces to the floor on its side, chipping the marble with its monstrous weight. Indy steadies it and then puts his whole body into rolling it across the room toward the window. As it starts to roll, Indy slips behind it and runs across the room with it.
