Season #1 Episode #1
Synopsis: Five wildly eccentric individuals, each with their own twisted personalities and quirks, decide to accept a lucrative yet mysterious offer that promises them unimaginable rewards. Driven by greed, desperation, and a thirst for excitement, they embark on what seems like the deal of a lifetime. But as they dive deeper into the mission, dark and deadly secrets from their past begin to surface. Old wounds are reopened, and a former friend—once thought to be an ally—returns, now seeking revenge and determined to ruin everything they’ve worked for. Faced with betrayal, paranoia, and their own self-doubt, the group begins to fracture. Now, the question is: will they manage to stick together and see the deal through, or will the chaos of their past and their unhinged personalities drive them to turn on each other?

The camera slowly pans to one of the stalls where we see Agatha, a tall, blonde woman with a strikingly attractive figure and a captivating presence. She adjusts her elegant pants and fixes her clothing with grace after having sex.

AGATHA:

(speaking softly while applying makeup)

I need to make sure everything is in place.

The young man standing in a nearby stall, wearing only underwear, looks astonished

THE YOUNG MAN:

Agatha, you are stunning beyond words. Your beauty... it’s unbelievable.

AGATHA:

(smiling sarcastically without looking at him)

Thank you, but you mean nothing to me.

Suddenly, Agatha pulls a gun from her handbag and shoots the young man without warning. The young man screaming in pain, then falling to the floor

THE YOUNG MAN:

Why? What did I do to you?"

Agatha calmly putting the gun back in her handbag and continuing with her makeup

AGATHA:

My dear, it's nothing personal. I'm just bastard b*tch

After finishing her makeup, Agatha exits the restroom in a seductive manner. Another young man enters the restroom, screams upon seeing the body:

SECOND YOUNG MAN

Oh my God! What happened here?

Agatha from outside the restroom, responds calmly but with sarcasm

AGATHA (O.S.)

Be quiet, I just broke up with him.

SECOND YOUNG MAN

(relieved, speaking softly)

Thank God, I’m not your boyfriend.

Agatha replying from outside the restroom, with a light laugh

AGATHA (O.S.)

In your dreams.

CUT TO:

EXT. LANDFILL - DAY

The landfill is a haunting scene. Silence hangs heavy in the air, broken only by the distant cawing of crows flying over the scattered piles of garbage. The atmosphere is stifling, filled with the stench of rot and decay. Rusty metal scraps and plastic bags flutter in the wind. Amid this chaos, MOKHTAR and SAID, twin brothers in their mid-twenties, short in stature, walk with a dark grin. Their eyes gleam with indescribable madness as they carry a stolen black gun execution-style. They approach two gang members tied to a wooden cross. Their words are drenched in delusion and insanity.

MOKHTAR:

(laughing maniacally)

Said, do you see this? We are the kings now! Ah, how I love this place! The trash is our kingdom, and the crows... they are our army!

SAID:

(mocking voice)

Oh yes, Mokhtar, but don’t forget! We’re the crazy rulers too! No, no... we’re the psychiatrists, healing these wretched souls!

MOKHTAR:

(pointing at the tied men)

Look at them! Like crushed bugs on the board of fate. What should we do with them?

SAID:

(tilting his head madly)

Hmm... let’s take their souls, eat their laughter, then hang it on the wall like old pictures!

MOKHTAR:

(holding his gun, smiling wickedly)

Oh, Said, you’re a genius. But... what if we shoot their shadows instead? Let’s play ‘who screams first’!

SAID:

(laughing hysterically)

Yes, yes! Let’s kill their fear before we kill them. Maybe then we can turn them into stars in the sky of this filthy dump!

Mokhtar steps forward heavily, while Said watches and laughs uncontrollably. Every step they take radiates absurdity, and their words grow more deranged with each passing moment.

The two men are tied to the wooden cross. MOKHTAR and SAID stand before them, holding a gun.

GANG MEMBER 1

(defiant)

No matter what you do, the Blind Panther Gang will never fall!

MOKHTAR:

(mocking)

The Blind Panther? How about we call him the ‘Deaf Panther’ instead?

SAID:

(curious)

I thought they meant the same thing!

Mokhtar stands theatrically in front of his brother, acting like a university professor, while said listens intently.

MOKHTAR:

(loudly)

The words deaf and blind are derived from the Global Dictionary of Microscopic Languages, written by the great author and scientist, Mikhail!

SAID:

(impressed)

Wow! How did you know that?

MOKHTAR steps forward, a devilish grin on his face.

MOKHTAR:

(calmly)

Because I killed him after he finished writing it.

SAID:

(shocked)

Why, brother?

MOKHTAR:

(casually)

He refused to put a period at the end of the book, and we all know that without a period, it’s not considered a book.

GANG MEMBER 2

(shouting in fear)

Oh my God, you’re insane!

MOKHTAR, without hesitation, shoots the man in the legs. The man screaming through the pain.

MOKHTAR:

(yelling in fury)

How dare you interrupt Dr. Mokhtar Yazidi, specialist in civilized madness?!

MOKHTAR unloads a barrage of bullets into the man, screaming at the top of his lungs.

MOKHTAR:

(shouting)

I believe in experimental science!

SAID's face is painted with rage and dissatisfaction. He suddenly charges at the second gang member, pulling out a sharp knife and stabbing him with wild, brutal force. His facial expressions scream insanity as he yells while stabbing.

SAID:

(shouting)

Never interrupt a man of science

As the gang member breathes his last breath, SAID exhales, taking a deep breath, and then smiles, calmer now.

SAID:

(relaxed)

Ah, it works well... It feels good to stab someone. You feel... at ease.

MOKHTAR approaches SAID, placing a hand on his shoulder, speaking calmly.

MOKHTAR:

(jokingly)

I'm glad you're feeling better. But maybe we should leave now, before this offer ends.

SAID laughs, embracing MOKHTAR. They both jump excitedly as they start walking away.

SAID:

(enthusiastically)

Can you believe the offer we got? Are we ready for it?

MOKHTAR:

(laughing)

Of course! But I have a question... If someone loses their ear, can they still smell?

SAID:

(surprised)

Smell? Without an ear? That's a genius question!

They laugh together, jumping around as they disappear into the distance.

EXT. MANSION - DAY

The camera pans slowly to reveal a massive mansion, surrounded by towering walls. Luxury cars are lined up in front of the grand entrance, signaling wealth and power. Bodyguards in black suits and sunglasses stand by the cars, scanning the area with vigilant eyes. The front garden is expansive, adorned with tall trees and grand stone statues that stand like silent sentinels. At the corners of the walls and on the rooftops, snipers are strategically positioned, their rifles aimed at the horizon, their eyes missing nothing. The atmosphere is thick with tension and caution

JUMP CUT TO:

EXT. MANSION ROOFTOP - DAY

The first sniper speaks calmly through his earpiece, watching the scene from his high vantage point.

SNIPER 1

(into earpiece)

All clear... Everyone's in position. Anything suspicious?

MATCH CUT TO:

EXT. ANOTHER MANSION ROOFTOP - DAY
