>> I had no reason to believe that Mac was a spy. He was MI6 when I was in OSS. We did 20, 30 missions together in Europe and the Pacific.
>> Don't wave your war record in our face, Colonel Jones. We all served.
>> No kidding. What side were you on?
>> I don't think you recognize the gravity of your situation. You aided and abetted KGB agents who broke into a top secret military installation in the middle of the United States of America, my country.
>> What was in the steel box they took?
>> You tell us. You've seen it before.
>> No.
You mean that Air Force fiasco in '47?
I was tossed into a bus with blacked-out windows and 20 people I wasn't allowed to speak to.
Hauled out in the middle of the night in the middle of nowhere on some urgent recovery project and shown what? Pieces of wreckage in an intensely magnetic shroud covering mutilated remains.
None of us was ever given a full picture.
And we were threatened with treason if we ever talked about it. So, you tell me, what was in the box?
>> Indy, thank god. Don't you know it's dangerous to climb into a refrigerator?
Those things can be death traps.
>> Good to see you, pal.
>> Relax, boys. I can vouch for Dr. Jones.
>> What the hell is going on, huh? KGB on American soil, who is that woman?
>> Describe her.
>> Tall, thin, mid-30s, carried a sword of some kind, 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, pal.
Not everyone in the army is 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 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.
>> What's going on?
>> Last minute something.
>> You were going to be getting into modern drainage practices which we also see in Skara Brae on the west coast of Scotland.
Skara Brae dates from 3100 BC and was continuously occupied for 600 years until it was apparently abandoned in 2500 BC. There's no clear evidence as to why its occupants decided to abandon a uh perfectly uh healthy environment. Yes.
>> May I have a moment, Professor?
>> Uh yes.
>> Um open up Michaelson, review chapter four. When I come back, we'll discuss the difference between migration and exodus.
>> What?
>> I 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.
>> I had every right. They weren't vandals, they were federal agents with search warrants. The university isn't going to get itself embroiled in that kind of controversy, not in this charged climate.
>> So you're firing me.
>> A leave of absence is all.
Indefinite leave of absence.
>> You are firing me.
>> During which they've agreed to continue to pay your full salary for a period >> their money.
>> Please don't be foolish.
You don't know what I had to go through to get that money.
>> Oh, I know 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.
Might end up teaching in Leipzig. I never goes 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 give I doubt I'd recognize this country anymore. The government's got us seeing communists in our soup.
>> When the hysteria reaches academia, I guess it's time to call it a career.
>> How's it Dierdra take the news?
>> How does any wife take such things?
The look on her face was a combination of pride and panic.
>> I never should have doubted you, my friend.
>> No.
Have reason to question your friends these days.
>> Brutal couple of years, huh, Charlie?
First Dad, then Marcus.
Seem to have reached the age where life stops giving us things and starts taking them away.
>> Just another half glass.
>> Hey.
Hey old man.
Professor, hello. Hey.
You Dr. Jones?
>> We're running out of platform, kid.
>> Are you a friend of Dr. Oxley's?
>> Harold Oxley, the archaeologist?
>> Yeah.
>> What about him?
>> They're going to kill him.
>> I haven't talked to Harold Oxley in 20 years.
He's a brilliant guy.
He could put you to sleep just by talking.
>> Yeah.
>> Yeah, when I was a kid that's how I used to get to sleep.
Oxley's voice was better than a glass of warm milk.
Name's Mutt.
Mutt Williams.
>> Mutt?
>> Yeah.
>> Kind of a name is
