The Enemy Brothers Page #5

Riddick attacks her with more kisses on her neck and lips, pushing her toward the door until it flings open. Both of them fall to the ground, still making out passionately.

INT. MIDO HOUSE - THE KITCHEN - NIGHT.

Suddenly, Mido's furious scream is heard from afar.

MIDO:

(angrily)

You son of a b*tch! How dare you do this here?!

Mido curses, face flushed with anger. Carlos storms into to him, holding a gun in his hand.

CARLOS:

(furiously)

How dare you pull this off when our mother is here?

Adam follows Carlos, wielding a kitchen knife.

Sami runs in, holding a chicken like it’s a weapon.

ADAM:

(yelling)

I might be crazy, but I’ve got principles! And the top one is respecting our family—especially our mother!

SAMI:

(madly)

I’ll kill you... with this chicken!

Mido follows behind them, trembling with rage, breathing heavily.

Riddick lifts his head slowly, stopping his kissing spree, and finds his brothers standing before him, their faces filled with fury.

RIDDICK:

(terrified)

Sh*t... they’re out of prison.

CARLOS:

(icy cold)

Yes, we’re out. But I’m thinking of going back. What do you think, Adam?

ADAM:

(crazed grin)

Yeah, let’s kill him and head back.

The blonde woman quickly stands up, attempting to leave.

BLONDE WOMAN:

(scared)

I think I’d better go...

SAMI:

(madly)

Yeah, or I’ll kill you... with this chicken!

The blonde smiles awkwardly at Sami’s insanity.

BLONDE WOMAN:

(softly)

Alright, goodbye.

Carlos grabs Riddick by the neck and slams him against the wall.

His brothers surround him, leaving no escape.

CARLOS:

(low and threatening)

You think you’re smart, don’t you? Acting like you own this place while you’re nothing.

( Starring at him)

If you ever disrespect Mido or our mother again... I’ll kill you myself.

ADAM:

(mockingly)

I’ll start stabbing you, then let Carlos finish.

SAMI:

(laughing crazily)

Or I’ll just use my chicken.

RIDDICK:

(trying to smile)

Hey... it’s just a joke, guys... we’re family.

CARLOS:

(angrily)

Family? You don’t even know what that means. All you’ve done is hurt us.

(Strong tone)

Mido’s the best of us, and you treat him like a servant.

ADAM:

(adding)

You always think you can get away, but not this time.

MIDO:

(calmly but firmly)

Carlos... let him go. This isn’t what we do.

CARLOS:

(tensely)

You’re serious? After all this?

MIDO:

(looking at him seriously)

We’re better than this. He’s not worth it.

Carlos takes a deep breath, looking into Mido's eyes, then releases Riddick, who drops to the floor.

CARLOS:

(threatening)

If you do this again... I won’t be so forgiving.

The mailman suddenly enters, holding a letter in his hands. He hands it to Carlos, who opens it without a word and heads to the living room.

His siblings follow him in eerie silence and curiosity.

Carlos sits on the couch, and his siblings gather around, waiting with anticipation.

CARLOS:

(opens the letter and reads aloud)

Hello, my worthless children, if you're reading this, it means I'm dead. But don’t worry, I've left you a big inheritance worth 100 million dollars.

Carlos pauses, lowering the letter, looking at his siblings

CARLOS:

Dad's dead... and he left us 100 million dollars.

The siblings exchange greedy looks, except for Mido, who begins to tear up in sorrow for his father's death

RIDDICK:

(with a wide grin)

100 million? Man, this is the best news I've ever heard!

ADAM:

(slapping his knee in excitement)

Ha! No way! 100 million! We always knew he was hiding something!

SAMMY:

(calmly but greedily)

100 million? Everything's about to change.

MIDO:

(muttering while wiping his tears)

How can you talk about money now? Dad just died.

CARLOS:

(bringing attention back)

Wait, let me finish.

Carlos continues reading the letter.

CARLOS:

(reading)

But I don’t believe in the laws of this country. I’ve left a will: no one gets this money unless they survive. Enjoy killing each other because 100 million is worth dying for. P.S. I’ve left you some deadly secrets, and there are eyes watching you, claiming their right to this money. I love you... really, I’ll see you in hell.

Carlos throws the letter onto the table in anger.

CARLOS:

(furious)

Curse you! What is this madness? You leave us a sadistic will like this? How can you call yourself a father and plan something like this? All he wanted was for us to kill each other like animals!

RIDDICK:

(sarcastic)

Looks like money moves everything, even after he's dead.

ADAM:

(mocking)

The old bastard always had a twisted way of running things.

SAMMY:

(calmly)

So... who's going first?

MIDO:

(angrily)

Are you all insane? Talking about killing each other? Dad just died!

CARLOS:

(barely holding back his rage)

That's exactly what he wanted... to turn us into monsters.

FADE OUT.
