INDY (still searching) I don’t know. I’m making this up as I go.
He runs away between two tents.

EXT. AT THE EDGE OF THE DIGS - DAY
From among the tents, Indy suddenly bursts into view, happily astride a magnificent white Arabian stallion. He gallops off across the desert.

EXT. THE DESERT (VARIOUS SHOTS) - DAY
Indy cuts cross-country avoiding the road the convoy has taken. He leaps gullies, climbs dunes, slides down slopes. Soon the convoy comes into view far below him. He tears along a parallel ridge, like an Indian shadowing a wagon train.

EXT. DESERT ROAD - DAY
The convoy is entering rougher country. The narrow mountain road we’ve seen earlier ascends ahead. To the wide of the road are tall boulders. Suddenly, Indy shoots out from between two rocks and rides directly for the truck. The Armed Nazis in the back of the truck can see nothing because the canvas hides their view. But Gobler, Belzig and the Gunner in the rear staff car have a brief line on him. Belzig points and the Gunner fires away at Indy, the bullets kicking up sand near Indy’s horse. The Armed Guard in the cab of the truck leans out to see what’s happening. Indy has been riding alongside. Now he stands on the horse and leaps to the cab. In a second, he has flipped the Armed Guard out of the truck. He slides into the cab and begins grappling with the Truck Driver. The Truck Driver tries to hit the brakes, but Inyd kicks his foot away and floors the gas pedal. The truck doubles its speed and shoots onto the steep mountain road.

EXT. MOUNTAIN ROAD - DAY
The Blond Driver of the front staff car sees the truck move up on him in the rearview mirror and speeds up. Belloq, Shliemann and the Armed Guard in the car twist around to look at the struggle in the truck. The Blond Driver begins what will be a continuing preview of the twists in the road. He turns his wheel sharply and takes the lead car around a bend.
