Indiana Jones And The Kingdom Of The Crystal Skull Page #2

Synopsis: During the Cold War, Soviet agents watch Professor Henry Jones when a young man brings him a coded message from an aged, demented colleague, Harold Oxley. Led by the brilliant Irina Spalko, the Soviets tail Jones and the young man, Mutt, to Peru. With Oxley's code, they find a legendary skull made of a single piece of quartz. If Jones can deliver the skull to its rightful place, all may be well; but if Irina takes it to its origin, she'll gain powers that could endanger the West. Aging professor and young buck join forces with a woman from Jones' past to face the dangers of the jungle, Russia, and the supernatural.

carried a sword of some kind,

a rapier, I think.

Yeah, that's her.

You sure she's here?

Here and gone. Who is she?

Irina Spalko,

she was Stalin's fair-haired girl.

His favorite scientist, if you can call

psychic research science.

General Ross...

She's leading teams from the Kremlin

all over the world.

Scooping up artifacts

she thinks might have

paranormal military applications.

- General Ross!

- Back off, Paul.

Not everyone in the Army's a Commie

and certainly not Indy.

What exactly am I being accused of,

besides surviving a nuclear blast?

Nothing yet.

But frankly your association

with George McHale

makes all your activities suspicious,

including those during the war.

Are you nuts?

Do you have any idea how many medals

this son of a b*tch won?

A great many, I'm sure.

But does he deserve them?

Dr. Jones, let's just say for now

that you are of interest to the Bureau.

Of great interest.

Grooved Ware in the beginning

of modern drainage practices,

which we also see in Skara Brae

on the west coast of Scotland.

Skara Brae dates from 3100 B.C.

and was continuously occupied

for 600 years

until it was apparently

abandoned in 2500 B.C.

There's no clear evidence

as to why its occupants

decided to abandon

a perfectly healthy environment. Yes?

- May I have a moment, Professor?

- Yes.

Open up Michaelson. Review Chapter 4.

When I come back we'll discuss

the difference between

migration and exodus.

What?

You have no idea the pressure

coming from the Board of Regents.

The FBI showed up this morning,

ransacked your office,

searched all your files!

You're the dean of the college.

Why didn't you stop them?

They have no right.

They had every right!

They weren't vandals.

They were federal agents

with search warrants!

The university isn't gonna get itself

embroiled in that kind of controversy,

not in this charged climate.

So you're firing me.

A leave of absence is all.

An indefinite leave of absence.

- You are firing me.

- During which

they've agreed to continue to pay

your full salary for a period...

I don't want their money!

Please don't be foolish.

You don't know what I had to go through

to get that for you.

You went through? What exactly

did you have to go through, Charlie?

Henry...

I resigned.

Where will you go?

Train to New York,

overnight to London, for starts.

I might end up teaching in Leipzig.

Heinrich owes me a favor.

I'll wire you when I get settled.

You can send on the rest of my things.

I suppose

there's nothing to keep you here.
