coordinated persistent vigilant determined ruthless
German Agent orchestrates the Nazi pursuit of Indiana Jones and Marion in Cairo's crowded streets and bazaar. He signals thugs from a balcony to initiate the ambush, joins Bad Arabs to converge on the pair, blocks Marion's alley escape with a thug, shakes off a collapsing stall of pots, follows the spy monkey to her basket hiding spot, carries the basket through the market for abduction, mans the truck's machine gun to cover retreat, then drives until Indy shoots him dead against the steering wheel.
