S1E3 · INDIANA JONES AND THE LAST CRUSADE

The First Warning: Trust No One in the Shadow of the Grail

The Donovan Corporate airliner, emblazoned with the company logo, stands as a gleaming symbol of Donovan’s influence and the mission’s logistical support. Its presence on the airfield is both reassuring and sinister—it offers the means to reach Venice, but it is also a tool of Donovan’s control. The hum of its engines provides a mechanical counterpoint to the human drama unfolding, a reminder of the inevitability of the journey ahead. The airliner’s sleek design and corporate branding underscore the duality of Donovan’s role: a benefactor on the surface, but one whose true motives are shrouded in ambiguity and potential betrayal.
