CARLOS (CONT'D)

(Beat)

Why didn’t I serve my sentence with Sami?

Adam, hearing this, smirks and throws a rock at Carlos.

ADAM:

(Teasing)

Oh, I heard that!

Carlos jumps up, furious, chasing after Adam.

CARLOS:

(Raging)

You’re dead, you little bastard!

Adam darts across the yard, dodging Carlos while yelling.

ADAM:

(Screaming, panicked)

Help! He’s trying to kill me!

Carlos chases Adam through a narrow alley, their footsteps echoing off the walls. Suddenly, a strong, lively voice interrupts them.

MIDO(O.S)

(cheerfully, with a hint of mischief)

Some things never change! Welcome to my family!

Carlos turns around to find Mido standing by his car, grinning as he watches the scene unfold.

CARLOS:

(smirking)

Oh, it's the saintly brother. Excuse me while I teach him a lesson, then I'll come over.

MIDO:

(laughing)

But no dead bodies, okay?

CARLOS:

(laughing as well)

Deal.

ADAM:

(desperately)

Mido! Save me, please!

Suddenly, Sami bursts out of the car, running towards Carlos with a shout.

SAMI:

(shouting)

Stay away from my brother!

Carlos turns to face Sami, his expression calm. Sami charges, but Carlos easily dodges his attack, lightly kicking him in the stomach. Sami falls to the ground without any serious harm.

Adam, seeing his brother down, tries to rush in to defend him, but Carlos swiftly grabs him and performs a gentle judo throw, making sure not to hurt him.

Carlos stands over both Sami and Adam, victorious, as they groan in defeat.

Mido grabbing Carlos's bag and walking towards the car.

MIDO:

I've missed these moments!

Carlos chuckles, then grabs both Adam and Sami by their ears, gently but firmly, pulling them towards the car.

They wince in pain, trying to walk quickly to ease the discomfort.

ADAM AND SAMI:

(in pain)

Ow! This hurts! We won’t do it again, we promise!

CARLOS:

(grinning)

You’re both grounded!

INT.ROOM 305 - HOTEL- DAY.

A medium-sized hotel room with modern decor. The walls are light beige, and the floor is covered with dark carpet. A double bed sits in the center, draped with a grayish-white duvet. Next to the bed, a small wooden nightstand holds a dimly lit lamp. Across from the bed, there’s a couch with scattered clothes, and some open bags. A large window is covered by heavy curtains, blocking the early morning light. The faint scent of perfume lingers in the air.

Riddick stands in front of the mirror, buttoning his shirt calmly and adjusting his tie, preparing to leave. In the background, his girlfriend is asleep, barely visible under the white duvet covering her bare body.

Her clothes are scattered over the couch. The soft hum of the air conditioner breaks the room's silence.

INT.HOTEL- HALLWAY- DAY.

Riddick quietly exits room 305, closing the door behind him and begins walking down the long hallway.

The floor is covered in dark red carpet, and the walls are lit by golden sconces. His steps are calm yet quick.

Suddenly, a door swings open in front of him.Sarah appears.

A tall, attractive blonde wearing an elegant dress, she grabs Riddick's shirt and smiles as she pulls him closer.

SARAH:

I need a captain to steer my ship.

A slight smile forms on Riddick's face as he looks at her calmly.

RIDDICK:

(smiling)

I just docked my ship.

She kisses him passionately, pulling him into the room quickly and slamming the door shut with her foot as she continues kissing him intensely.

SARAH (O.S)

Looks like you've got another ship to dock now.

INT. INSIDE A BLACK CLIO - QUIET ROAD - DAY

The atmosphere is filled with love and warmth. In the back seats, Adam and Sami are playing and playfully arguing.

ADAM:

(smiling proudly)

I’m so handsome that beauty itself doesn’t look me in the eye!

SAMI:

(laughing)

No, I’m the one who winked at girls, and they all fainted! You’d think you’re a Hollywood star!

ADAM:

(pretending to be shocked)

A Hollywood star? I think I'm better than all of them! Look, even the trees stop to look at me!

SAMI:

(smiling)

No, my brother, the trees look at me because they’re afraid of your heavy shadow!

ADAM:

(laughing)

Are you saying my shadow is stronger than my charm? I can’t believe it!

SAMI:

(nodding)

Exactly! If gravity affected you, you’d be floating instead of sitting here!

ADAM:

(challenging)

Well, at least I’m here, and you’re arguing with me!

SAMI:

(smiling)

True, but I’m the smartest here. I could be with anyone, but I chose you!

ADAM:

(seriously)

Oh, what an honor! I’ll keep that line in my resume.

SAMI:

(playfully)

Great! I’ll review it later. Now, let’s play a game: who can make the other laugh first?

Laughter and silly arguments continue as their friendship shines brightly.

Carlos sits in the front seat, smoking as he stares ahead. He occasionally glances at Mido, who is focused on driving, then looks in the rear-view mirror to see Adam and Sami gently fighting in the back seat.

CARLOS:

(breaking the silence)

Mido, how are you? Financially good?

MIDO:

(forcing a smile)

I’m okay, but... things can be tough sometimes.

CARLOS:

If you need financial help, don’t hesitate.

MIDO:

(hesitating)

No, I don’t want to be a burden.

CARLOS:

I'm your brother,But... how’s our family?

MIDO:

Things are changing. Mom always asks about you.

CAROLS:

how about Riddick? is he giving you any trouble?

Mido’s expression darkens at the mention of his brother Riddick.

MIDO:

(angrily)

Riddick... I don’t want to talk about him!

He begins to lose control, his eyes widening, almost colliding with a tree ahead.

Anger overtakes Mido, he breathes heavily, and his hands tremble.

CARLOS:

(trying to calm him)

Mido, calm down! Don’t give in to anger! Things will get better!

Adam and Sami exit the car, scared of Mido’s outburst.

ADAM:

(terrified)

Mido, we’re sorry! We were just joking!

Mido takes a deep breath, trying to regain control.

MIDO:

(with difficulty)

I think that what I need is to be... alone.

Mido steps out of the car, leaning against its exterior. He holds a cigarette between his fingers, takes a deep puff, and looks around slowly, sensing the surrounding atmosphere. We see Carlos steps out too and approaching Mido.

EXT. OUTSIDE A BLACK CLIO - QUIET ROAD - DAY.

Mido lifts his gaze, the smoke rising in the air, as if the thoughts are dancing with each exhale.

MIDO:

(calmly)

I needed a moment to think.

Carlos notices Mido and then turns to look around, questioning the situation.

CARLOS:

(inquisitively)

Thinking about what?

Mido smiles mysteriously, trying to hide what he feels.

MIDO:

(sighs)

About everything...

The camera zooms in on Mido, focusing on his expressions as the smoke dissipates into the air.

We turn towards Adam and Sami, who are fighting violently, hitting each other and talking madly.

Each accuses the other of being the reason for Mido's anger.

Mido ignores them, refusing to intervene, while Carlos approaches them angrily.

CARLOS:

(furiously)

Stop it!

Carlos grabs them by their ears forcefully, causing them to wince in pain.

They continue to exchange accusations.

ADAM:

(protesting)

He’s the reason!

SAMI:

(defensively)

No, you’re the one who annoyed him!

Carlos glares at them, then speaks loudly.

CARLOS:

It’s not your fault!

Suddenly, Adam and Sami change their demeanor, hugging each other and apologizing for their actions.

ADAM:

(apologizing)

I’m sorry, I didn’t mean it

SAMI:

(nodding)

Me too!

But Carlos interrupts their moment.

CARLOS:

(seriously)

But you’re both grounded. You need to face the car as punishment.

ADAM:

(pleadingly)

Please, we won’t do it again.

SAMI:

We’ve apologized!

Carlos, firmly.

CARLOS:

(sternly)

I don’t want to hear a word from you. You both face the car.

Adam and Sami head towards the car, standing in a way that shows they are punished.

They start crying in a manner that reflects their craziness, then begin to blame each other, occasionally playfully hitting one another.

Carlos looks at them with annoyance, then shouts at them.

CARLOS:

(angrily)

Stop it or I’ll kill you!

Adam and Sami fear his threat and stand silently.

Carlos walks towards Mido, speaking to himself in a sharp tone.

CARLOS:

(quietly)

Now I have to deal with Mido before he kills someone.

Mido stands, staring at the ground with an angry look. He talks to himself, his voice loud and tense.
