Ruby resumes his show, "Ladies and gentlemen, something's happening, I think we're getting attacked. I don't know who the hell, but they're everywhere! Wait a minute, I see one of them, they're warriors! And they're ugly! They got big teeth, and they got big foreheads, and big ears, and they stink! In the president's office, Lindberg and his generals look very worried, Munro comments, "Mangalores."
Korben tells the Diva to stay calm, the government sent him there to help her. Ruby continues, "Somebody hear this, come and get me! I'm in the first row!" The Diva tells Korben he must give her the Stones, The Fifth Element . . . The Supreme Being sent to Earth to save the universe. Korben realizes she's talking about Leloo. The Diva tells him Leloo needs his help . . . and his love, or she will die.
And then the Diva blacks out. We see Leeloo, bloodied, crying for help. Zorg has made his way back to his ship in the dock, as he boards, "If you want something done, do it yourself!" Needing to know where the Stones are, Korben tries to revive the Diva. She comes around somewhat. Zorg's ZFX200 speeds away from the boat. Zorg sets the Sacred Case on a table in the cockpit.
He opens it with a complacent smile: "They're not here!" He cannot believe his eyes. He goes berserk with insane laughter and whimpering at the same time. The Diva tells Korben the Stones are in her. The Diva dies. The shooting slowly stops in the theatre. The Mangalores are now in total control. Ruby starts to panic when he sees a Mangalore approach them and warns Korben.
The Mangalore spots Korben kneeling alongside the Diva. He pokes Korben with his gun. Korben, in one swift motion, makes short work of him, laying him out flat and holds his own gun to the warrior's head. He instructs Ruby to hold the gun and squeeze the trigger if he moves. Ruby wants no part of it but his shaking hand takes hold of the gun.
Korben turns his attention back to the Diva and what she meant by the Stones are in her. And then it occurs to him. He touches the Diva's stomach and senses something hard. Girding himself, he sticks his hand in the wound and pulls out a Sacred Stone. Then another. And another. Korben pulls out all four Stones, covered in blue blood. The Mangalores begin leaving the theater.
Korben stares at the Stones in disbelief and calls out Ruby loudly. This scares the crap out of Ruby and he involuntarily squeezes the gun trigger, killing the Mangalore, "Sorry, sorry! You think he's going to be okay?" The gunshot captures the attention of a Mangalore, who turns to investigate. Korben wraps up the Stones in his dinner jacket. Ruby peeks out from under a seat and sees the Mangalore approaching.
Ruby, still in panic mode, warns Korben another one is coming. Then two more Manglores join the search. Korben forcefully grabs Ruby, gives him the stones, and guard the Stones with his life. In the president's office, Lindberg dabs his sweaty face with a towel, looks to Munro, "Is that your idea of a discreet operation?" Munro tries to reassure the president, "Don't worry sir. I know my man, he'll calm things down."
We cut to an example of how Korben calms things down. Three Mangalores are suddenly blasted over the balcony of the theater. Korben bursts into the hall, two huge guns in his hands. In rapid action, Korben wastes two more Mangalores. Heavy firing fills the hall. From the balcony, Korben is picking off Mangalores left and right. Two warriors aim a machine gun /rocket launcher at Korben.
Korben's eyes widen and he scurries for cover. He manages to stay one step ahead of the machine gun fire destroying the balcony. Korbens dives from the balcony into a bar for cover. The Mangalores launch a rocket, destroying the bar piece by piece, forcing Korben to move forward. Korben motions to Baby Ray hiding under a table to throw him the gun. But Baby Ray really is stone-deaf.
Another piece of the bar explodes, forcing Korben to be exposed to the heavily armed Mangalores who have positioned themselves close to the bar. They open fire as Korben ducks back into what little is left of the bar. He implores to Ray to throw him the gun. But Baby Ray picks up two pool balls and rolls them to Korben. Korben looks in disbelief, "Thanks, Ray," as Baby Ray smiles and waves.
Suddenly a warrior pops over the bar and points his gun at Korben. Korben pleads to him to not shoot and holds his hands up. He tries to convince him he's just an innocent bystander on vacation. He stands on top of the bar as other Mangalores surround him. The warrior steps on a teetered plank and orders Korben to get down. Korben motions to Ruby, who is not quite sure what Korben is up to.
Korben jumps down on the plank which sends the warrior's head crashing upwards into the ceiling / balcony. His head busts through the floor right next to Ruby who is screaming non-stop. The warrior involuntarily begins blasting his gun from below, inadvertently killing the other Mangalores. Ruby, still screaming, is slapping the warrior's head. The warrior eventually falls to the hall floor, dropping his gun.
Quickly, Korben snatches the gun and cuts down the rocket launcher Mangalores. On the balcony, Ruby sees more coming Mangalores coming his way and screams to Korben for help. Korben is checks the body of the fallen warrior and finds a spike grenade. He tells Ruby to not move, Korben fires an outline of bullets tracing around Ruby. The weaken floor collapses along with Ruby.
Korben arms the spike grenade and tells Ruby to count to ten. He throws the spike grenade upwards, stick into the floor of the balcony. The warriors on the balcony begin firing at them below as Korben shoves Ruby under a rollng pool table. They roll it out as the warrior blast away at the pool table, protecting Korben and Ruby from the blasts. Ruby is counting / screaming, "One, two, three . . . . . ."
The whole balcony erupts with a fiery explosion, killng the last of the Mangalores in the hall. They get up and survey the wake of damage as Korben remarks, "Ten." . . . . Ten, the same number of minutes left on Zorg's bomb stuck to the Diva's suite door. The ZFX 200 speeds back toward Fhloston Paradise, as Zorg mutters, "I am very disappointed!"
Korben and Ruby search for the Control Room. They see two security guards come flying out of an entrance, they found it. The last of the Mangalores have barricaded themselves in the back of the Control Room and shoot at anything that tries to enter. Korben joins the security already there. The Mangalores are holding crew members as hostages, including Cornelius.
Fog is in charge of the rescue operation, but he's nothing more than a bundle of shaking nerves. Korben takes charge, he pokes his head in the entrance to do a head count, "Seven on the left, five on the right." He pokes his gun in the entrance, picking off warriors in rapid fire, "Four on the right, two on the left." The Mangalores fire back. Korben needs to find the leader, Mangalores won't fight without the leader.
Just then Akanit rises with Cornelius as hostage warning that one more shot and they will start killing hostages. Korben, "That's the leader." Akanit demands a negotiator. The relieved Fog allows Korben to negotiate. Korben walks quickly into the room, heads straight for Akanit, raises his gun and puts a bullet through his head.
Korben, pointing his gun at the other Mangalores, asks, "Anybody else want to negotiate?" Fog, stuttering, looks to Ruby, "Where did he learn to negotiate like that?" In the president's office, Lindberg gives Munro a hard look, "I wonder!" Later, the staff are restoring order and treating the wounded. Cornelius approaches Korben who is scanning a computer screen.
Cornelius offers a remorseful explanation for his actions, but Korben is more interested in scanning the video monitors searching for Leeloo. He sees a hand sticking out from the ceiling in the Diva's suite. Korben enters the Diva's suite which is in shambles. In the air shaft, Leeloo lies in a pool of blood. Korben finds her and pulls her down from the ceiling.
