Marion’s car, if you haven’t noticed, is shaped like a boat. So when everyone is once again back together and safe from the Soviets, she drives directly off a cliff – much to everyone’s fear. She is confident in her choice and as the Soviets attempt to rappel down the cliff on ropes, she drives the car-boat onto a tree that just happens to be growing on the side of the cliff and slips gently into the water. The car slides down three very steep waterfalls, and after the third, everyone is knocked out of the car – right where they need to be.

Looking up, Mutt notices a skull-shaped cave entrance. Everyone marches into the cave, and Ox seems to know exactly where to go. This is where you learn that ALIENS might be responsible for this whole crystal skull/golden city business. The group is chased by the fighting natives (by the 100s) but Ox uses the skull to keep them away – they are afraid of it. They climb up the second pyramid and Ox generally leads the way. They open this giant cave-thing and must run quickly down the steps to the bottom before the steps disappear and get sucked back into the walls. They end up in knee-deep water. There is a moment where Marion and Indy almost kiss but Mutt interrupts it, obviously upset by the idea of his parents kissing.

As they continue through several chambers filled with wondrous artifacts, it is revealed that Mac has been dropping tracking devices everywhere – leading the Soviets to them.

The group enters the chamber of the Crystal Skulls, which is a circular room with 13 thrones in it. In the thrones are the crystal alien bodies – one of which is missing a head. As Ox goes to replace it, in come the Soviets. There is a struggle and Irina prevails. She puts the head on the skull and thinks that some great psychic power will come to her. The chamber and the enter structure begin to fall apart as the circular room begins to spin. Indy and crew escape but Mac is sucked into the vortex that the spinning is creating.

Irina is being ‘filled with knowledge’ as beams of light go through her head but it becomes too much and she combusts into vapor. Indy and crew get to safety at the top of a mountain-pyramid place and watch as a UFO disappears into the unknown. The temple and chambers all crumble into rubble and water comes gushing in – turning the once flat valley into a lake. Ox is returned to his normal state and says that the UFO didn’t go into space but “into the space between space”.

Cut to Dean Stanforth running through the college halls – stopping only to tell a man painting the words “Professor Henry Jones, Jr. – Assistant Dean” to make them larger. He goes into his office and grabs his Bible. You know what that means – cut to Marion and Indy standing in a church with Mutt as Indy’s best man. There is a small crowd – the dean, his wife, and Ox included. They all cheer as Indy and Marion FINALLY kiss! Mutt is standing by a pew and the wind blows Indy’s hat into the church. Mutt bends down and picks it up, as though he is going to put it on, but Indy comes walking down the aisle with his new bride and snatches is, putting it on and walking out.

Cue the theme song and everyone walking out of the church. Mutt walks out last, swinging his black leather jacket over his shoulder.
