Raiders of the Lost Ark

The hovitos are near.

The poison is still fresh, three days.

They're following us.

If they knew we were here, they would've killed us already.

This is it.

This is where forrestal cashedin.

- Satipo: A friend of yours? - A competitor.

He was good.

He was very, very good.

Sefior, nobody's come out of there alive.

Please...

Sefior.

Stop.

Stay out of the light.

Forrestal.

Satipo: Let us hurry. There is nothing to fear here.

That's what scares me.

Stay here.

If you insist, senor.

Give me the whip.

Throw me the idol.

No time to argue.

Throw me the idol, I throw you the whip.

Give me the whip!

Adios, senor.

Adios, satipo.

Dr. Jones.

Again we see there is nothing you can possess

which I cannot take away.

And you thought I had given up.

You chose the wrong friends. This time, it will cost you.

Too bad the hovitos don't know you the way I do, belloq.

Yes, too bad.

You could warn them, if only you spoke hovitos.

Jock! Start the engines!

Get it up!

Jock, the engines!

Start the engines, jock!

There's a big snake in the plane, jock!

Oh, that's just my pet snake Reggie!

I hate snakes, jock!

I hate 'em!

Come on! Show a little backbone, will ya?

"Neo," meaning "new"

and "lithic"... "I-t-h"...

I'c meaning "stone."

All right, let's get back to this site:

Turkdean barrow, near hazelton.

Contains a central passage and three chambers, or cysts...

Don't confuse that with robbing, in which case we mean

the removal of the contents of the barrow.

This site also demonstrates...

One of the great dangers of archeology,

not to life and limb, although that does sometimes take place.

No, I'm talking about folklore.

In this case, local tradition held

that there was a golden coffin buried at the site,

and this accounts for the holes dug all over the barrow

and the generally poor condition of the find.

However, chamber three was undisturbed,

and the undisturbed chamber and the grave goods

that were found in another, uh...

In the area, give us a r...

Reason to da... To, uh, to-to date this,

uh, find as we have.

Um... any questions, then?

No? Okay, that's it for the day, then.

Um, don't forget...

Michaelson, chapters four and five for next time.

And I will be in my office on Thursday, but not Wednesday.

I had it, Marcus.

I had it in my hand.

- What happened? - Guess.

- Belloq? - You want to hear about it?

Not at all.

I'm sure everything you do for the museum

conforms to the international treaty for the protection of antiquities.

It's beautiful, Marcus.

I can get it. I got it all figured out.

There's only one place he can sell it: Marrakech.

I need $2,000. Look...

Listen to me, old boy.

I brought some people to see you.

Look.

I got these pieces.

They're good pieces, Marcus.

- Look. - Indiana...

Yes, the museum will buy them, as usual, no questions asked.

- Yes, they are nice. - They're worth at least

the price of a ticket to Marrakech.

But the people I brought are important,

- and they're waiting. - What people?

Army intelligence.

They knew you were coming before I did.

Seem to know everything.

They wouldn't tell me what they want.

Well, what do I want to see them for?

What am I, in trouble?

Eaton: Yes, Dr. Jones,

we've heard a great deal about you.

Indy: Have you?

Uh, professor of archeology,

expert on the occult,

and, uh, how does one say it?

Obtainer of rare antiquities.

That's one way of saying it.

Why don't you sit down? You'll be more comfortable.

- Oh, thank you. - Thank you.

Yes, you're a man of many talents.

Now, you studied under professor ravenwood

at the university of Chicago.

Yes, I did.

You have no idea of his present whereabouts?

Uh... well, just rumors, really.

Somewhere in Asia, I think.

I haven't really spoken to him for ten years.

We were friends, but, uh...

Had a bit of a falling out, I'm afraid.

Mmm.

Dr. Jones, now, you must understand

that this is all strictly confidential, eh?

I understand.

Uh... (Clears throat)

Yesterday afternoon, our European sections

intercepted a... A German communique

that was sent from Cairo to Berlin.

- Now, to Cairo... - See, over the last two years,

the Nazis have had teams of archeologists

running around the world looking for all kinds of religious artifacts.

Hitler's a nut on the subject.

He's crazy.

He's obsessed with the occult.

And, right now, apparently,

there's some kind of German archeological dig

going on in the desert outside of Cairo.

Now, we've got some information here,

but we can't make anything out of it, and maybe you can.

"Tanis development proceeding."

"Acquire headpiece, staff of ra."

"Abner ravenwood, U.S."

The Nazis have discovered tan is.

Eaton: Just what does that mean to you, uh, tan is?

Well, it...

The city of tan is is one of the possible resting places of the lost ark.

The lost ark?

Yeah, the ark of the covenant.

The chest the hebrews used

to carry around the ten commandments.

What do you mean, "commandments"?

You talking about the ten commandments?

Yes, the actual ten commandments.

The original stone tablets

that Moses brought down out of mount horeb and smashed,

if you believe in that sort of thing.

Any of you guys ever go to Sunday school?

- Well, I... - Oh, look.

The hebrews took the broken pieces

and put them in the ark. When they settled in can a an,

they put the ark in a place called the temple of Solomon.

In Jerusalem.

Where it stayed for many years.

Until, all of a sudden, whoosh, it's gone.

Where?

Well, nobody knows where or when.

However, an Egyptian pharaoh...

- Shishak. - Yes.

Invaded the city of Jerusalem right about 980 bc,

and he may have taken the ark back to the city of tan is

and hidden it in a secret chamber

called the well of souls.

Secret chamber?

Brody: However, about a year

after the pharaoh would return to Egypt,

the city of tan is was consumed by the desert

in a sandstorm which lasted a whole year.

Wiped clean by the wrath of god.

Uh-huh.

Obviously, we've come to the right men.

Now you seem to know, uh,

all about this tan is, then.

No, no, not really.

Ravenwood is the real expert.

Abner did the first serious work on tan is.

Collected some of its relics.

It was his obsession, really.

But he never found the city.

Frankly, we're somewhat suspicious of Mr. Ravenwood.

An American being mentioned so prominently

in a secret Nazi cable.

Oh, rubbish. Ravenwood's no Nazi.

Well, what do the Nazis want him for, then?

Well, obviously, the Nazis are looking
