39.
An incredible, fearsome GIANT SHERPA, almost seven feet tall, soars in and tackles Indy from behind. The whip flies from Indy’s hand as he and the Giant Sherpa roll across the floor, upsetting furniture. The Mongolian, seeing this, stands up confidently. Marion rises behind him and bashes him over the head with the axe handle. He goes down and out. Fire has completely engulfed the curtains and is working across the ceiling on decorative yak skin bunting. A burning fragment drops to the top of the bar, which immediately lights up, fueled by the spilled alcohol. Full whiskey bottles explode like Molotov cocktails. Rolling on the floor, Indy and the Giant Sherpa are fighting for control of Indy’s .45. Belzig sees this and shout to the Second Nazi, who is rising from cover with the submachine gun in hand.
BELZIG Shoot them both!
SECOND NAZI
He’s our man!
BELZIG
Do as I say!
Both the Giant Sherpa and Indy hear this. The Giant Sherpa exchanges an alarmed look with Indy and together they swing the .45 around toward the surprised Second Nazi. Two blasts blow him away. That done, Indy brings a brass spittoon down on the Giant Sherpa’s wrist and the .45 slides away. Indy jumps up and kicks the Giant Sherpa, who barely seems to feel it. He grabs Indy and flips him effortlessly onto a table.
Belzig now has a clear shot at Indy. He raises his Lugar.
Marion, at the end of the bar, finally gets the hand of the Mongolian’s submachine gun. It roars to life in the general direction of the ceiling. Belzig runs for cover as Marion gets control of the gun and levels it. Belzig dives around the end of the bar opposite Marion. When he has set himself, he peeks up over the edge of the scorched bar. The alcohol fire has moved down the bar and now, much to Belzig’s surprise, he finds himself staring at the fire-blackened sun-shaped medallion! His eyes widen. He cannot believe his good fortune. Without hesitation he picks up the metal medallion, palming it.
