The Enemy Brothers Page #2

He is a ruthless killer, sitting in the corner of the cell, his arms crossed.

Adam, Sami's twin, sits in front of Carlos. He's just as insane as his brother, but unlike Sami's peaceful madness, Adam's insanity is deadly and dangerous.

A crazed smile spreads across his face, his eyes gleaming in the darkness.

ADAM:

(whispering eagerly)

We’re getting out tomorrow. Is anyone waiting for us?

Carlos shakes his head, looking down at the floor, his voice cold and emotionless.

CARLOS:

(flatly)

No one’s waiting for us. The family’s torn apart. They call us The Enemy Brothers now.

Adam chuckles lightly, as if amused by the new title.

ADAM:

(crazily)

The Enemy Brothers"… fitting name.

Carlos remains silent, his eyes fixed on the wall, as if watching his past flash before him.

EXT. INSIDE A BLACK CLIO - QUIET ROAD - DAY

Mido is driving his black Clio at a steady pace down the road. He’s focused on the wheel, his eyes fixed on the road, but a small smile sneaks onto his face every now and then. Next to him, Sami sits, bouncing along with the rhythm of the music playing on the radio. Sami claps, dances, and sings along to the song with enthusiasm.

Mido glances at him and smiles, their moment filled with joy and fun

The smiles they share speak volumes about the love and bond between the brothers.

MIDO:

(smiling)

So, are you ready? This is a big moment for us… to reunite the family.

Sami jumps lightly in his seat, clapping his hands like an excited child

SAMI:

(excitedly)

Yes, Mido! Except for that jerk, I don’t need him.

Mido gently taps him on the head

MIDO:

(playfully)

What did we say about foul language?

Sami lowers his head, looking guilty

SAMI:

(sincerely)

Sorry, bro. I forgot.

Mido smiles and shakes his head

MIDO:

(gently)

I might seem tough and not fun, but I want to make sure you become a man who can handle responsibility… and build your own family. Or do you want to end up like him?

Sami looks at him in awe

SAMI:

(in disbelief)

A family? I can’t believe it!

MIDO:

(curiously)

Why not?

SAMI:

(softly)

You know... everyone says I’m crazy.

Mido shakes his head

MIDO:

(firmly)

You’re not crazy You’re just different.

( Light laugh)

Adam’s the crazy one. He’s the one I have trouble managing. Remember that incident?

Sami bursts into laughter

SAMI:

(laughing)

Yeah! How he spent the whole night looking for a nail in the backyard just because he found an extra hammer in the basement!

Mido laughs along with him

MIDO:

(laughing)

Exactly!

The sound of their innocent laughter fills the car as it drives down the road.

EXT. OUTSIDE THE PRISON - DAY

The ground looks deserted, no people in sight, except for a few passing cars. In the background, the prison gate slowly creaks open, and we see CARLOS stepping out with steady, confident strides, his posture exuding strength and control.

Beside him, ADAM is acting crazy, clutching onto the Carlos leg like a child clinging to his toys. Carlos carries his belongings and drags Adam behind him, trying to get him out.

CARLOS:

(grabbing Adam firmly, stopping him)

Let go of my leg!

(lightly taps his head)

Come on, let’s get out.

(pulls him forcefully to the right)

Stay here and don’t move until I find a taxi... or someone comes for us.

The gate slams shut behind them with a heavy metallic sound, leaving Carlos and Adam standing outside, looking around for a car.

ADAM:

How are we gonna pay for a taxi? We’ve got no money!

CARLOS:

(whispers slyly)

I stole some cash from the guards.

Adam jumps up like a madman, clapping his hands excitedly and laughing uncontrollably.

ADAM:

I WANT CANDY! AND GUM!

grabs Carlos by the shirt violently, shaking him, screaming crazily

ADAM:

I want blue and yellow candy!

Carlos, visibly angry, his face tense and frustrated, is about to explode.

Suddenly, without warning, he grabs Adam and throws him aside, sending him crashing to the ground.

CARLOS:

Stay away from me or I’ll kill you!

Adam, lying on the ground, stares up at the sky for a moment. Then, in a bizarre move, he begins to swim across the ground toward Carlos as if he were a fish, dragging himself awkwardly along.

EXT. OUTSIDE THE PRISON - MOMENT LATER.

CARLOS sits uncomfortably on his bag, smoking with a practiced, professional air. His eyes fixed on the road ahead.

Meanwhile, ADAM, still acting crazy, hurls rocks at the prison guards in the watchtower and the gate, shouting like a madman.

ADAM:

(Shouting)

How dare you kick me out of prison?! Screw you all! I’ll be back, and I’ll turn this place into my private property!

Adam continues throwing rocks.

ADAM:

(Screaming)

F*** you all, from here to Canada!

CARLOS, visibly irritated, shouts back.

CARLOS:

(Angrily)

Stop it! You’re giving me a damn headache!

Then, lowering his voice, almost to himself

CARLOS:

(Quietly)

Why, God?
