Regards
EXT. GENGHIS KHAN'S TOMB. afternoon. darkening.
The camera follows a line of white fire shooting into the air EXPLODING into a cascade of BRIGHT RED. A FLARE.
The SPARKLING WATERFALL of colour stands out against the ever darkening skies.
One of the men left behind by Indy & Zhou puts down the smoking flare gun after just firing off the last signal.
He nods affirmatively to his counterpart as he walks towards him & joins him next to a small fire.
A large menacing RUMBLE is heard off in the distance. They both look up anxiously.
The source of the noise reveals itself over the horizon. A convoy of trucks charge through the snow..
Each of the vehicles marked with the red star of Communist China..THE P.L.A..Chinese People Liberation Army.
INT. GENGHIS KHAN'S TOMB.
Indy steps away from the last golden guard having disabled its firing system.
INDY
That's it.
ZHOU
(standing up & giving Indy the broken piece of glass) There..maybe you can stick it back together & regain some of that luck.
Indy & Zhou move further into the chamber.
Before them on the floor is a solid gold circle.
Embedded in the floor around it, a ring of gems, of all shapes & colours shine.
On the disk itself, etched into the gold, is an imposing portrait of Genghis Khan. He is depicted wearing a Mongolian battle head dress..a metal helmet with a large spike fixed to its peak with a leather strip attached to its base protecting the back & side of his neck..
His eyes watch, waiting, protecting his tomb.
Indy notices...
a small square hole directly in the center of the rim, just above Khan's forehead.
INDY
This looks like the spot.
Indy places his hand into his satchel & pulls out a square cube with a diamond on it.
INDY
(looking at the cube) Lets hope this works.
Indy slowly moves towards the hole & kneels down before it.
Zhou watches.
Indy takes the block & gently places it into the space.
A moment passes.
Suddenly the room begins to SHAKE.
Indy steps back just before the gold circle begins to separate in the middle.
Both Indy & Zhou stare into the hole.
INSTANTLY FIRE from inside the depression sheds light on its treasures.
Indy & Zhou's face GLOW from not only the fire but the riches they have just uncovered.
INDY
(tilting his hat back from his forehead wiping the sweat from his brow) Fortune AND glory.
Zhou points to skeletal remains in the hole.
ZHOU
What..no..who are they?
Indy looks down into the shallow pit.
Amongst the treasures are bones surrounding Genghis Khan's jewel encrusted coffin.
INDY
I guess dead men keep secrets.
EXT. GENGHIS KHAN'S TOMB. AFTERNOON. Darkening.
The convoy of five army trucks have arrived at the entrance of the tomb.
The once desolate landscape is now a hive of activity..
As a number of soldiers jump from trucks unfolding the canvases covering the back of the vehicles pulling out ropes & abseiling equipment.
The two men left behind waiting for Indy & Zhou stand shivering in the cold. But it's more than the weather making their teeth chatter.Four Chinese soldiers, with RPD light machine guns poised, surround them.
As the ropes are being thread into the tomb's entrance a thin, steely man, dressed in a Chinese winter military uniform, walks with measured steps, towards the two men left behind by Indy & Zhou.
It is VAN LEUNG distinctly marked with a scar from an unknown past etched deeply from the left corner of his mouth crossing his cheek to a partially mauled left ear.
He is obviously a man who gets things done, when no one else can.
LEUNG
Who went with the American?
IN UNISON THE TWO MEN
ZHOU!
LEUNG
You have served your country well.
Leung nods to two gun holding soldiers.
They grab the two men & lead them away.
LEUNG
I want all men in position. Dr Jones can not be under estimated. líqù (GO)
The two remaining soldiers take up a position around the entrance to the tomb. The other soldiers now possessing machine guns are preparing to abseil down into the tomb.
One by one the troops start their quiet descent.
Leung too prepares himself.
i want to get it to George Steven Harrison or MarshallI know it is a long shot but hey I have to give it a go.
