Indy is advancing on the trembling Bad Arabs with an ugly look when suddenly he hears Marion scream around the corner.

EXT. DESERTED SQUARE - DAY
Indy rounds the corner and is immediately driven back by machine gun fire. Taking cover, he gets quick, intermittent glimpses of this scene: At the far corner of the large, deserted square is a canvas-covered trunk. Two Bad Arabs are hurrying toward it with a large rattan basket between them, Marion screaming inside. A German Agent is covering the retreat with a machine gun from the cab of the truck. Indy runs up to see the rattan basket being heaved into the back of the truck.

EXT. BACK OF THE TRUCK - DAY
What Indy cannot see is that basket lands among an ominous load of German munitions, dynamite and firearms. The truck immediately peels out.

EXT. DESERTED SQUARE - DAY
The German Agent has stopped firing in order to drive. He floors it, aiming for a street at the corner of the square. Indy uses the lull to take careful aim at the German Agent’s profile and fire off three careful shots. The German Agent is hit, blasted dead against the steering wheel. The speeding truck swerves, hits a wall, rolls over and explodes in an enormous, multi-leveled eruption as its contents ignite. Several surrounding buildings are leveled. Indy, blown back across the square, looks on, astonished and horror-stricken.
INDY
Marion.

INT. ARAB BAR - NIGHT
A dark, smoke-filled den on iniquity. The patrons, almost all fearsome Arabs, sit in small shadowy groups around the room. Indy stands at the bar finishing off a fifth of bourbon. He is drunk. The ARAB BARTENDER places a new bottle of expensive bourbon in front of him.
Indy eyes it queerly.
