Ibis budget London Barking (Motel)
London, England
The scene opens up inside of a shabby motel room. Pharaoh is shown sitting on the floor leaned against the wall with a loaded handgun to his chin. A crooked smile spread across his face.
PHARAOH:
What the fuck is wrong with me man!
He moves the fun from his chin to his forehead.
PHARAOH:
Why the fuck can't i take these niggas down?
Pharaoh jumps up and begins pacing back and forth, kicking anything in his path.
PHARAOH:
This rules shit is for the birds. Every five seconds that cunt ass ass ref wanna interfere. Shoulda knocked his ass out too.
He pauses, shaking his head. As he is walking a pain shoots through his knee causing him to stumble to the bed.
PHARAOH:
Fuckin Bitch!
He slams the gun to the bed. Kicking at the air he then massages the pain out of his knee. He drifts off into a daydream.
Maybe Wreck was right. I can't seem to focus. I had Jan. But it seemed like whenever i would get a leg up, my mind would shoot somewhere else.
Starting to think karen was right. Maybe I shouldn't be this. I'm only embarrassing myself. I know the crew looking at me like i'm a piece of shit. How am i supposed to lead them when i can't even seem to lead myself.
Maybe i should pull this trigger. I'm not really doin anybody any good anyway. And life's starting to get a lil boring anyway. Wreck could take over… i trust him….
A knock at the door interrupts Pharaoh’s thoughts.
PHARAOH:
Who the fuck is it?
WRECK:

PHARAOH:

WRECK:
It's me nigga! Open the door!
PHARAOH:
Gahhhhh!
He hops off a the bed and limps over to open the door. Wreck stands on the opposite side of the door holding up a subway sandwich and a bag of chips.
WRECK:
They got american food!
He brushes past Pharaoh and makes his way inside. Looking down at the gun in Pharaoh’s hand, he chuckles.
WRECK:
What’s goin on here?
Pharaoh closes the door behind him and hobbles over to the bed. He then snatches half of the sandwich from Wreck before sitting next to him.
PHARAOH:
You interrupted a very dramatic pre suicide monologue.
Wreck bursts out laughing.
WRECK:
You were bout to ice yaself?
PHARAOH:
Thought about it…
He sits the gun on the bed, chuckling to himself
PHARAOH:
I was bored.
WRECK:
I know you're pissed about that match. But you did good.
PHARAOH:
I lost… Again…
WRECK:
Your head wa--
PHARAOH:
I know my head wasn't in the game. But i had it! He was mine. But hearing that crowd. The way they cheered for him,the way they taunted me… i went somewhere. Somewhere dark.
He pauses
PHARAOH:
Darker than what i'm used to. And for some reason i couldn't pull away from it. I almost felt defenseless. And then there was this kid.
WRECK:
A kid? What kid.
PHARAOH:
I felt Like i blacked out for a second and i saw this kid. I don't know if it was real or if i was daydreaming. But he looked like me.
Wreck whispers to himself.
WRECK:
Is He starting to remember?
PHARAOH:
What'd you say man?
WRECK:
No.. Nothing. Nothing man. That's crazy. Maybe you saw a fan in the audience of something.
PHARAOH:
Maybe… but he didn't look happy, whoever the hell he was.
WRECK:
You just gotta clear ya head man. This was a tough loss but hey. Next week you can redeem yourself against Brandon.
Pharaoh clenches his fist at the mention of his name.
PHARAOH:
Brannndonnnn.
He picks up the gun and scratches his chin with it.
PHARAOH:
I guess they really wanna see us tear each other apart huh?
WRECK:
You can't be going all soft on this nigga man. Friends or not. You saw what he did last week. He’s gonna pull everything out of his bag because he knows you're gunning for him.
PHARAOH:
You know i hate that word... I'm not worried about a “friendship”. That ship is underwater anyway. He hit me over the head with a speaker. I'm gonna make him hurt.
WRECK:
Whatever happened to y'all anyway? I feel like since yall met yall were like brothers. I mean outside of me, ain't nobody click wit you like him.
PHARAOH:
He did what everybody else does… He left.
The scene fades

FLASHBACK
March 2009
Valley High School Playground
Las Vegas, Nevada
The scene opens up on an empty playground. A young Pharaoh is shown lying alone on the bottom of the sliding board playing with a green emerald tree python. The snake wraps itself around Pharaoh’s wrist. Pharaoh holds it high I'm the air, taunting and teasing the snake. He stretches out out, swinging it around In the air.In the distance we see a young Brandon Smith walking toward him. He stops in his tracks seeing Pharaoh on the sliding board. When pharaoh realizes he's no longer alone, he ends the torture of his beloved pet.
He sits up on the slide and glares over to Brandon who stares back in silence. He hops up and walks over to him. Brandon stances himself, prepared to fight. Pharaoh chuckles.
PHARAOH:
Easy tiger. I don't want any trouble.
Brandon doesn't lower his stance .
BRANDON:
You always torture harmless animals in the middle of children's playgrounds
Pharaoh grunts.
PHARAOH:
Trust me… he ain't harmless.
Trust me… he ain't harmless.
As the snake wraps itself around his hand, he puts his hand up to Brandon’s face.Brandon slaps Pharaoh’s hand from in front of his face.
BRANDON:
Get that nasty ass thing out of my face. Crazy ass.
PHARAOH:
But two seconds ago he was harmless. Ha. You're funny kid.
He looks slightly behind noticing a girl who had been standing in the distance in silence for the duration of their conversation. He then looks back tho Brandon.
PHARAOH:
You should fire your bodyguard. She looks terrified.
He bucks at the girl and she jumps back. Brandon steps in front of him dying him by slamming his hand on Pharaoh’s chest.
BRANDON:
Chill...That's my girl.
There is a long pause as Pharaoh looks back to the girl and back to Brandon and then back down to his chest where brandon’s hand is still crated. He chuckles and flexes his pecs. he thinks to himself.
His girl?
Brandon quickly drops his hand into his pocket. Pharaoh winks at him, raising his eyebrow.
PHARAOH:
Rigggght… Girlfriend. She's cute. She got a friend?
He chuckles, shaking his head.
PHARAOH:
I like you kid… And i don't like too many people. I got a strange feeling you might be as sick in the head as i am. You smoke weed?
There is silence.
PHARAOH:
Today you become a man my friend. Let's hang.
He puts his arm around Brandon’s shoulder. The two begin to leave the playground.Brandon’s girlfriend turns to follow but Pharaoh stops her.
PHARAOH:
No no. I'm sorry to break it to you. But this relationship isn't working out. Maybe we should see other people.
The girl rolls her eyes and looks to brandon to defend her. He just shrugs. Pharaoh chuckles as he leads Brandon, leaving the girl behind.
Pharaoh:
Was it something i said?
The two laugh and continue walking.the scene fades.
