Bonjour,Vous avez lu la page, mais vous ne l'avez pas comprise
Vous avez demandé à être éclairée, revoyez le début du Cinquième élément.
PROFESSOR
(deciphering)
"..when the three planets are in eclipse.."
His fingers trace across the wall which is covered with symbols and
strange hieroglyphs as he deciphers.
PROFESSOR
"..the black hole like a door is open...
Evil comes ... sowing terror and chaos..."
See? The snake, Billy. The Ultimate Evil
... make sure you get the snake!
The Professor points emphatically to the snake, the symbol of Evil,
coming through the door between the three planets in eclipse. C.U.
Billy's hand sketches the snake quickly. He is a natural artist.
BILLY
And when is this door opening snake act
supposed to occur?
The Professor's fingers touch the signs.
PROFESSOR
..if this is the five..and this the thousand..
He calculates.
PROFESSOR
Every five thousand years..
BILLY
(kidding)
So I have some time..
He reaches for the pad.
ANGLE ON: Omar. Standing at the entrance to the chamber with the water
bag, entranced by the sight. A skeletal hand falls on his shoulder. Omar
turns to an ancient PRIEST in a rough milled black cannock.
PRIEST
I will take it to them my son.
Startled but obedient, Omar gives the water bag to the Priest.
PRIEST
Go with God.. be safe from Evil..
The Priest makes the sign of the Cross on the boy's forehead, dismissing
him.
As soon as he is gone, the Priest turns a worried eye to the Professor.
ANGLE ON: The Professor is back to translating, Billy to sketching.
PROFESSOR
"..then arrange the elements of life against
the Terror just so.."
His fingers run on.
PROFESSOR
"..Water..fire..earth..air..four
elements around the fifth.."
His fingers fall on the one element that has a human shape, surrounded by
all the others.
The Priest opens the water skin and begins to pour a vial of powder into
the skin.
ANGLE ON: Aziz falling asleep. The mirror falls, the light fails.
PROFESSOR
Aziz! Light!
The boy struggles to stay awake. The mirror comes up.
PRIEST
Lord forgive me.. they already know too,
much..
PROFESSOR
"..in which all the history of the Universe resides
..all the strength..all the hope..Protect us from
Evil.."
PRIEST (V.O.)
Amen..
The Professor turns to the Priest who is pouring water into a tin cup
from the skin.
PROFESSOR
Father.. it in the most extraordinary thing..
the greatest find in history..can you imagine
the implications.
PRIEST
Only too well... here you must be
parched..
He hands the cup to the Professor. The Professor takes it, has it almost
to his lips when..
PROFESSOR
I mean look.. it is like a battle plan..
In his excitement he does not drink, much to the Priest's chagrin.
PROFESSOR
Here the Good.. Here the Evil..
As the Priest looks up, Aziz the mirror boy, tips his mouth under the
water skin, drinking the leakage.
PROFESSOR
Here..
He points to the Five Elements.
PROFESSOR
A weapon against evil. Amazing! I am
going to be famous.
PRIEST
Then let us toast to your fame! Here Billy..
The Priest hands Billy a cup.
PRIEST
Drink!
PROFESSOR
To fame.. salud..
The Professor raises the cup to drink, and then...
PROFESSOR
We cannot toast with water.. Billy !
In my sack.. the Grappa!
The Priest watches, disconsolate, as the Professor tosses away his water.
Billy finishes his cup before running off into the tunnel.
4 EXT. COLONNADE - DAY
A muffled SOUND grows steadily louder. Outside, a monstrous linear shadow
disturbs the kid's game and gradually darkens the temple entrance.
5 INT. TUNNEL - DAY
Billy is looking for the grappa in the Professor's bag. He comes upon a
machine pistol. When the muffled SOUND suddenly grabs his attention. He
leans toward the corridor and sees part of a spaceship appear. Billy is
paralyzed.
6 INT. TEMPLE ROOM - DAY
The Professor keeps reading over the inscription.
PROFESSOR
"..this perfect person.. this perfect
being.." I do not understand this.. perfect?
PROFESSOR
Where is that boy? Billy!
7 INT. TUNNEL - DAY
Billy presses himself against the wall, in the shadows, terrified, but
sketching away like mad, as large shadowed figures lumber past him. He
begins to blink, feeling the effects of the Priest's potion..
8 INT. TEMPLE ROOM - DAY
The Professor reads the wall.
PROFESSOR
And this divine Light they talk
about.. what is Divine light?
At that moment, the reflection from Aziz's mirror drops again. The light
fails.
PROFESSOR
(without turning)
Aziz light!
The room is flooded with light all of the sudden.
PROFESSOR
Better.. this is the most unbelievable thing
I have ever seen..
The Professor turns around, and is stunned speechless to find himself
face to face with two MONDOSHAWANS. A dozen others fill the hall manning
the source of the light, large luminous globes. Aziz is fast asleep.
PROFESSOR
(uncomprehending)
...Uh, yes?
The Professor is lifted up and carried off to the side by the aliens.
The KOMMANDER stops in front of the Priest who is still on his knees, face
to the ground.
PRIEST
Master... He was about to discover everything,
but I had the situation under control.
The two MONDOSHAWAN GUARDS hold the professor three feet off the ground.
PROFESSOR
(in a panic)
Who are you? Are you Germans? Sprechen
Sie Deutsch?
9 INT. TUNNEL
Billy staggers forward, a machine pistol in his hand.
10 INT. TEMPLE ROOM
The KOMMANDER holds out his hand to the Priest.
PRIEST
What did I do wrong?
The Priest jumps to his feet excitedly.
KOMMANDER
Servant, you and the thousand guards
before you... You have done your work well,
but we have to recover the elements. War will
soon engulf your planet. We must keep them safe.
The Kommander goes over to the wall and seems to be looking for a lock.
He finds it and slides in his metallic finger which is more intricate
than a key to a safe. He turns his hand, activating a mechanism that opens
the wall.
PROFESSOR
Unbelievable!!!
The Kommander turns around and crooks a finger. One of the MONDOSHAWANS
waves his hand, puts the professor to sleep and heads down the hallway
revealed by the opening. He is followed by his men. The Priest slips in
behind them.
11 INT. ROOM 2 TEMPLE - DAY
The Kommander steps into a vast room. The ceiling is very high, pyramid-
shaped. In each corner of the room, four vessels contain four
rectangular twelve-inch stones-, the four elements. In the middle, an
opaque sarcophagus rests on an altar. The Kommander stops and
contemplates it a moment.
PRIEST
(to himself)
The Fifth Element...
KOMMANDER
Take them and put them in a safe place.
His men carry out his order.
12 INT. ROOM 1 TEMPLE - DAY
Billy staggers across the floor, struggling to stay awake.
13 INT. ROOM 2 TEMPLE - DAY
The Kommander opens a case. His men come and put the four, precious
stones in it, one by one.
PRIEST
(moved)
Will the elements be gone now forever
from this place?
KOMMANDER
When mankind comes to its senses.
We will return.
PRIEST
Knowing mankind as I do, that could take
centuries!
KOMMANDER
Time is of no importance, only life
is important.
The Priest nods and lowers his eyes.
Angle on: Billy staggering forward, raising his pistol, blinking his
eyes to focus..
A MONDOSHAWAN puts the fourth element in the case The Kommander shuts the
case and looks at the Priest.
KOMMANDER
When EVIL returns so shall we.
PRIEST
(head lowered)
We will be ready, Lord.
Billy suddenly staggers into the room, brandishing his gun.
BILLY
Stop.
Billy trips, the gun goes off. He empties the clip. The Mondoshawan
carrying the case crumples to the ground. The wall immediately begins to
close. Billy fires wildly, unable to control the powerful kicking gun.
PRIEST
No!!! Don't!!!
The Priest rushes Billy. The weapon has such a kick to it that Billy
starts shooting into the air, backs up, then stumbles and knocks himself
out. The Priest is on the ground, seriously wounded. So is the Kommander.
The WARRIORS are in a panic.
CLERK
Hurry, Kommander! The wall's closing!!!
The wall continues to close. Sand pours in from everywhere. The vast
room fills up like an hourglass
