The Enemy Brothers Page #4

MIDO:

(angrily)

If Riddick disrespects me again, I’ll kill him. I can’t take this anymore. I’ll bury him myself!

Carlos approaches him, trying to calm him down, his voice soothing and relaxed.

CARLOS:

(comfortingly)

Mido, remember that this path doesn’t suit you, nor does it suit your faith. You’re not like this. You’ve always been that person who changes people for the better, even in the toughest circumstances.

Mido looks at Carlos, some doubts showing in his eyes.

MIDO:

(softly)

But I feel like I have to

we hear Adam and Sami unseen, speaking excitedly.

ADAM(O.S)

(excitedly)

Dance, dance, it’s my wedding!

SAMI:

(curiously)

Am I invited?

Carlos, without turning to them, responds sternly.

CARLOS:

(angrily)

Shut your mouths before I turn your wedding into a funeral. Both of you to the car!

Adam and Sami unseen.

ADAM & SAMI

(apologetically)

We’re sorry!

Carlos steps closer to Mido, placing his hand gently on his shoulder. His tone is filled with love and affection.

CARLOS:

(warmly)

Mido, if you’re expecting me to tell you that this path suits you or makes you scary, you’re wrong.

Mido looks down, trying to hide his emotions, speaking softly.

MIDO:

(frustrated)

My kindness has made me a joke, Carlos. People just see me as the fool they can take advantage of.

Carlos gently lifts Mido’s chin, making him look into his eyes.

CARLOS:

(affectionately)

You’re wrong, Mido. Your kindness is what makes you my closest brother. In this family full of betrayal and darkness, you are the bright side, the one who reminds us that there’s still good in us.

Mido looks at Carlos, touched by his words, tears beginning to well up in his eyes.

MIDO:

(voice breaking)

I didn’t know I mattered that much...

Carlos pulls Mido into a tight embrace, holding him as if shielding him from the world.

CARLOS:

(softly)

I’ll deal with Riddick myself. And if anyone dares to hurt you or tries to bring you down, they won’t find his body.

You are the good side of this wretched family, from our traitor father to Adam.

Mido remains silent, leaning on Carlos’ shoulder, feeling the love and support.

As Mido and Carlos are talking, a luxurious Mercedes-Benz suddenly pulls up in front of them.

A young man, full of arrogance, peers out from the window.

YOUNG MAN:

(racist tone)

Look who we have here, Saladin! Go back to your world, you freak.

His girlfriend gently hits his shoulder, speaking in a disapproving tone.

GIRLFRIEND:

(calmly)

That’s enough. This country doesn’t differentiate between races, whether you’re Arab or Jewish.

The young man smiles dismissively at her, then turns back to Mido.

Suddenly, Carlos lunges forward and stabs the man in the neck several times, dropping him dead.

CARLOS:

(calmly)

Go complain to your God , you scumbag.

The young man's girlfriend screams in sheer terror, her face pale, as she scrambles to the other side of the car.

CARLOS:

(calling out)

Adam! Sami! Get over here!

Sami runs toward the car, jumps on top of it, and leaps off, screaming in a crazed tone.

SAMI:

(shouting)

You’re dead! You’re all dead! We’re all going to die!

Adam opens the car door, dragging the girl out by her hair as she screams and cries in pain, pulling her toward Mido.

CARLOS:

(firmly)

You two, get out of the car.

The two other young men step out, shaking with fear. Carlos grabs them by their necks and drags them toward Mido.

CARLOS:

(powerfully)

Your fate is in his hands now.

ADAM:

(looking at the girl)

mido will decide whether you leave... or I will f*** you, then kills you.

Adam raises his head toward Mido with a wild grin.

ADAM:

(grinning madly)

Don’t forgive her.

Mido looks at them with a broad smile, as if he’s in a trance.

He takes a deep breath and speaks wisely.

MIDO:

(wisely)

A true man who can change the world is one who has reached spiritual awareness.

( With lovely smile)

And to reach that level, you must show mercy when you have the power to harm.

Sami jumps off the car and rushes toward them.

SAMI:

(sarcastically)

What do you mean by that? I was kicked out of school because they were racist against my good looks!

MIDO:

(calmly)

What I mean is, we can kill them. No one’s watching us, no one can stop us. Even the ego in its prime thinks it’s the right choice.

(Looking at Sami)

But sometimes, you need to listen to your heart and soul,My heart and soul are telling me to let them go, because my faith says: "Have mercy on those on Earth, and the One above will have mercy on you.

Adam bursts into crazy laughter.

ADAM:

(confused)

I don’t get it! So, do we kill them or let them go?!

Carlos smiles proudly at Mido.

CARLOS:

(smiling)

every time you surprise me, man. I’m proud of you brother.

Carlos releases the young men, who flee in fear.

Except for the girl, who stays behind.

She hugs Mido tightly, then kisses him on the cheek in gratitude.

GIRL:

(GENTLY)

I’m not surprised. My best friend is Muslim, so I know about you guys. I just wanted to see if it’s just him or all of you.

With pride and strength, Carlos embraces his brother Mido, as if it’s their last hug.

But Adam and Sami, feeling left out, suddenly dash towards them, shouting innocently.

ADAM:

(innocently)

What about us?

SAMI:

(innocently)

Wait for me! I need a hug too!

Adam and Sami throw themselves into the hug, joining Mido and Carlos.

Mido smiles and embraces them all.

MIDO:

(lovingly)

I love you, my brothers. Let’s head home.

Mido releases them, and everyone hops into the car.

They drive off into the distance, while the camera stays fixed on the road until they disappear from sight.

INT. MIDO HOUSE - THE KITCHEN - NIGHT.

Mido and his brothers are seated around a large, new dining table that seats 12. Various foods and drinks are laid out as they wait for their mother, Nana, to arrive.

MIDO:

(gently)

Carlos, I’ll pay you back for the cost of this new table.

CARLOS:

(seriously)

If you pay for it, I’ll return it to the store.

MIDO:

(quietly)

I don’t want to be a burden to anyone.

CARLOS:

(smiling widely)

We’re family.

Adam and Sami sit at the table. They eat ridiculously, behaving in a silly, crazy manner.

ADAM:

(with a mouthful of food)

Do you think if I eat more, I’ll turn into a superhero?

SAMI:

(grabs a whole chicken with his hand)

If you’re a superhero, I’ll be Chicken Man!

(laughs foolishly)

I can fly... with the power of chicken!

ADAM:

(mimics flying)

Woo! Chicken flight! But wait... chickens don’t fly, Sami!

SAMI:

(smiling idiotically)

Oh... then I’ll be Earth Man, living underground like chickens.

Mido and Carlos look at them smiling, as Adam and Sami eat like they’re in their own crazy world.

EXT.THE HOUSE OF MIDO - NIGHT.

Riddick is passionately kissing a stunning blonde woman.

He pauses for a moment, placing his hand on the doorknob.

RIDDICK:

(seductive)

Wait... I’ve got a surprise for you.

BLONDE WOMAN:

(laughing)

Oh really? You don’t think your brother would mind us doing this in his house?

RIDDICK:

(smirking)

First off, he’s not my brother. And second, to hell with him.
