Following World War I, Indy - now fluent in several languages - works as a translator at the controversial Paris Peace Conference, where he once more meets Lawrence of Arabia, and encounters the Arab Prince Faisal and a young Ho Chi Minh. Disillusioned by the hard and cynical realpolitik of international deal-making, he returns home to Princeton, New Jersey after a three-year absence, where he finds his father as cold and distant as ever, and discovers a detrimental change in his boyhood friend, Paul Robeson, caused by bigotry.

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Gertrude Bell and T.E. Lawrence were real 'desert royalty' who actually shaped the Middle East borders Indy watches get drawn—she's played by Anna Massey, who was genuinely fascinated by Bell's real letters.
This episode aired in 2000 but includes Ho Chi Minh protesting for Vietnamese independence at Versailles—American audiences in 2000 had just seen Saving Private Ryan's patriotism, making this cynical aftermath hit weirdly prescient.
