Apparently you do need someone to explain it to you, as you have got it wrong. Fifth freedom rights are those rights to carry passengers from one country not of your flag to another country also not of your flag. The five freedoms are as follows:

The first two are technical freedoms....
(1) Fly over the territory of other states parties without landing.
(2) Land for noncommercial purposes such as fuel and crew change. (Hence the "Tech Stop" of modern day aviation).

The next three are known as commercial freedoms:
(3) To put down passengers, mail, and cargo taken on in their flag state. (Which is what you assumed was 5th freedom)
(4) To take on passengers, mail, and cargo destined for their flag state.
(5) To take on or put down passengers, mail, and cargo destined for or arriving from any state party. This commercial freedom is the right for any airline to carry passengers, mail, and cargo between any two contries outside of its own country.
