THORROW Angel?… No- I see no angel lad… although there are some in the audience… He turns and kisses the hand of an elegant woman THORROW Good evening Madame Liszt. WIND (still watching the angel) Do you no hear? Her music like soft rainfall… THORROW No Mr. Maybury, all I hear is a rather hushed audience on a serene summer evening… The angel dissolves and her music fades as audio dissolves to the
sound of an orchestra tuning up behind the curtain The men are seated and the Captain greets others around him ADMIRAL BILLINGSLY You’ve arrived just in time Thorrow- they’re about to raise the curtain… Yudoc comes onstage and bows to the audience- they applaud The orchestra becomes quiet and a single French Horn plays the

THORROW No No, my boy I doubt that very much- That man’s a Spaniard… 62. Yudoc turns around as the curtain rises Wind continues to stare at the stage ADMIRAL BILLINGSLY (To the others) Yes Yes, and actually a prisoner of sorts. He was detained at the King’s court, when the hostilities broke out… There’s a lot of gossip about this strange man Beyond his musical ability- he’s a physician as well. THORROW Yes I heard that too. They say he’s such a fine doctor, he’s called The Phoenix-
dying patients are said to rise from certain death- like the mythical Phoenix rises from the ashes… OTHER MAN Oh really!? A SPANIARD physician…? ADMIRAL Yes, all the patrons say that he writes the most advanced music to ever grace the Royal Orchestra THORROW What’s his real name then Admiral? ADMIRAL You know- come to think of it, I’ve only heard his epithet- The Phoenix… The Phoenix Mendelson The NOCTURNE overture ends- the curtain is raised and the orchestra
ready- Yudoc taps the podium, raises his arms, and conducts the orchestra in the MIDSUMMER’S NIGHT’S OVERTURE The captain is relaxed while Wind is in awe of what he hears and
sees as the string section plays the opening section At the first crescendo Wind becomes overwhelmed by the noise and
begins to panic- He covers his ears, then jumps up on the backs of the seats, and tries to leave 63. The captain pulls him back into his seat He finally settles down again as the music gets quieter Wind then catches a glimpse of Dom in a balcony pointing at something
on stage- he strains to get a better view when a blond woman in a powdered wig leans in front of Dom. By the time she sits back, Dom has disappeared from view Wind’s attention again turns to the orchestra A transitional AUDIO AND VIDEO DISSOLVE to near the end of the
OVERTURE- the music crescendos and ends The audience thunders applause and yells for an encore as Wind
holds his ears. Wind again looks toward the balcony but can’t see the man standing behind the woman in the wig. CROSS DISSOLVE AUDIO AND VIDEO TO: EXT DRUID CAMPFIRE SITE DAY Hun awkwardly plucks an arpa he’s built in front of the others,

HUN Yeah yeah- enough for may be one, two more 64. INT ROYAL BANQUET HALL EVENING Captain Thorrow and Wind attend a banquet for the King They enter the banquet room and are seated at a table perpendicular
to the head table THORROW Well lad, did you ever think you’d dine with His Royal Highness? Wind shakes his head “no” THORROW You’re in for a treat. The king has the finest chefs in all the land… Trumpets blow and Henry the Eighth enters with pomp and circumstance
And then is seated… It is a fat Dee Wind is confused and tries to talk to the captain WIND I, I think I know this man… Thorrow shushes him THORROW Quiet Maybury! Or he’ll have your head for dinner… A Bishopric stands and praises King Henry in prayer (Ps.21) BISHOPRIC The king shall joy in thy strength O lord How greatly shall he rejoice! Thou hast given him his heart’s desire… Thou settest a crown of gold on his head… Honor and majesty are his For thou has made him most blessed… for ever Henry beams as The Bishopric continues: For the king trusteth in the Lord Thine hand shall find out all thine enemies… 65. With great emphasis, he thrusts out his right hand Thy right hand shall find out those that hate thee… Thou shalt make them a fiery oven, in the time of thine anger… He has a strange look as if watching flames with rapture The Lord shall swallow them up in his wrath- and the fire shall devour them His hands span across a globe Their fruit shalt thou destroy from the earth, and their seed from among the children of men… The Queen feeds Henry a grape For they intended evil against thee: they imagined a… MISCHIEVOUS
device… Therefore… (Turns to Henry) … thou shalt make ready thine arrows upon thy strings against
them Be thou exalted Lord, in thine own strength: So will we sing and praise thy power. Another bishop declares “Hear Hear!!”, they all cheer
and pat each other’s backs- and Henry waves a drumstick around- HENRY A troupe of minstrels and jesters then begin a song and dance around
the hall The raucous banquet ensues and Wind’s goblet is filled continuously
until he is drunk Through drunken eyes Wind sees a girl who looks like Juda But she dances away before he can do anything Henry tosses his drumstick, and a playful food fight ensues Wind passes out from wine- the minstrel’s song fades 66. INT DOM’S HUT NIGHT Dee has one of Hun’s new harps and crudely tries to make
music with it- Dom holds his ears DOM What you do with that? DEE Hun let me play it. DOM More arpas! Priests want More arpas… If Aman think we risk our lives hunting big cats for more strings, he crazy! He then seats himself and begins to eat peas DOM Eh! sick of cold peas! We need hunt boar!

It get late now- You must go- like we say- Dove girl soon bring soup… I want be alone with her… They laugh between themselves like typical men Dee leaves strumming the harp DOM And stop making that noise!

Dom then tosses them aside DOM I think my little brother need spend time helping hunters, not making things like this!

CU- The chimes in the window begin to catch the wind DISSOLVE TO: INT CAPTAIN THORROW’S TROPHY ROOM NIGHT Passed out in the trophy room, Wind mumbles, as he dreams He sees the banquet and hears the words of the Bishopric: Thou shalt make ready thine arrows upon thy strings against them… KING HENRY snarls and his face becomes the lion- he is suddenly
struggling against it again in the coliseum… The arrow comes from the side and kills the lion as before The crowd roars- Wind turns his head and now sees that it is Fire
who shot the arrow- Wind struggles out from under the lion and staggers toward Fire-
beckoning to him Fire turns his back and raises his arms for the crowd. As he completes a circle and Wind gets near, another arrow enters
Fire’s back He falls to his knees and collapses as Wind reaches him Wind turns and sees Centurion (Dee again,) also with a bow Wind cries out and his cry fades to hollow clacking sound of the
wooden wind chimes INT DOM’S HUT SAME NIGHT Dom and Dove have fallen asleep- now Dove is dreaming -she sees the ANGEL again and hears the harp. As she approaches the angel turns and becomes Sun They kiss again and she finds the experience pleasant DISSOLVE TO: CLOSE UP- DOM SLEEPING Dom mumbles in his sleep EXT DRUID CAMP NIGHT He dreams of the night of the cat attack- Instead of Wind, he is

came from and sees Wind standing with the bow She calls to him as she struggles out from under the lion DOVE Wind! Wind! You live! You live! The crowd roars as she crosses the arena and Wind turns in a circle
taking accolades AS Wind turns again to face her, it is now Dom again |
