Highlander III: The Sorcerer Page #4

INT. CAVERN - NIGHT

The building is built at the mouth of a vast CAVE. TORCHES set

in the walls of the cavern are the only source of light. A

WOODEN BRIDGE is built over a deep RAVINE. Kilvara and the Old

Man continue their fight across the bridge. The Horsemen lag

behind, enjoying the battle. The Old Man's strength is giving

way under the merciless attack.

The SPARKS from each contact is even more dazzling in the dim

light of the cavern. Kilvara swings again. The Old Man tries

to block it. In one fluid movement Kilvara scrapes his SWORD

along the Old Man's -- then lunges forward -- thrusting his

blade through the Old Man's chest. The Old Man SCREAMS in

pain. Kilvara lifts him up with the blade. Kilvara flings him

off the blade and onto the ground. The Old Man is on his

knees. Kilvara raises his sword above his head.

KILVARA:

There can be only one.

Kilvara brings the blade down. It slices through the Old Man's

neck, severing his head from his body. Kilvara waits,

preparing himself. A stream of bright GREEN LIGHT begins to

flow from the BODY of the OLD MAN. It grows BRIGHTER and

BRIGHTER. The Body of the old man begins to hover above the

ground, then in a pulsing burst of energy the LIGHT flows into

Kilvara. The force knocks him to his knees.

The GROUND SHAKES -- The walls of the cavern move. Suddenly,

chunks of rock are blown out of the walls -- the RUMBLING SOUND

grows LOUDER and LOUDER -- blinding GREEN LIGHT FILLS the cave

and then -- a deafening EXPLOSION. Whole sections of the

cavern begin to collapse -- covering the exit -- trapping

everyone inside.

EXT. MOUNTAIN - WIDE SHOT - NIGHT

The RUMBLING SOUND subsides. In the distance we hear the

savage SCREAM of Kilvara. The CAMERA MOVES UP the side of the

mountain. As we come over the top we see...

SMASH CUT TO:

EXT. NEW YORK CITY - NIGHT

The familiar towers of the city skyline stand along the bay,

their LIGHTS reflecting off the water.

EXT. STREET - NIGHT

A thick FOG hangs in the air. A light wind blows, moving

newspapers and other articles of trash along the deserted

street.

EXT. ALLEY - NIGHT

Crates and trash dumpsters line the alley. A single, naked

light bulb shines down like a spotlight. Through the fog the

SILHOUETTE of man appears as he steps under the light.

MOVING WITH THE MAN - REVERSE SHOT

We follow the man from behind. He is tall, dressed in a long,

tan rain-coat, jeans and sneakers. A small TRAVEL BAG is slung

over his shoulder. As he moves down the alley he hears a

SCRAPING SOUND. HE stops -- but does not turn around.
