Antonio heads for the door after Carmen's threats, but before he can get out he runs straight into
Ricardo."
Ricardo:"Where ya going little bro??", he says sarcastically as he pushes him back into the room.
Antonio notices the anger on Ricardo's face.
"Uh, Ricardo...whats going on??"
Carmen:"Ricardo, I must tell you something."
Ricardo walks further into the room, it is obvious to Carmen and Antonio that things are not right.
Ricardo:"Mama, could you please leave I need to speak with Antonio alone."
Carmen:"But...you have to know..."
Ricardo:"No, mama I don't want to hear it...."
Ricardo starts to walk outside the shops door, bringing Antonio with him. Ricardo then realizes that
if he stands there one more minute looking at his betraying brother, he may hurt him.
Antonio:"What is going on?? Tell me."
Ricardo:"I don't have to tell you anything, not after what you did to me." By now Ricardo is practically screaming.
Antonio could almost feel the heat pouring off of his brothers skin.
Ricardo:"I know that you slept with Gabi."
He almost aims to hurt Antonio like he hurt him, but changes his mind. He starts to run towards the beach.
Antonio:"Ricardo wait!! Where are you going??"
He follows his brother towards the pier where the sun is setting. Antonio meets Ricardo at the end of
the pier.
Carmen had run after her two sons, she stopped in her tracks when she reached the edge of the beach.
Antonio:"Ricardo, we need to talk..."
Ricardo turns around. Antonio had never seen his brother have so much rage in his eyes....all
because of him.
Ricardo:"You made a mistake following me, Antonio. Because I can't account for what I might do."
Carmen:"Antonio, Ricardo...no! Come away from there, someone will get hurt!!!"
Antonio:"I don't care...I need to explain..."
Ricardo:"How dare you...no how could you???" "How could you steal the lo....How could you steal
the best thing that ever happened to me..and make it the worst???"
Antonio has a scared, guilty look on his face.
Ricardo:"Speechless??? Huh???.....Well, when exactly were you planning on telling me huh,
never???"
Antonio:"Who told you??....Mama, Maria???"
Ricardo:"Oh, I see, so I was the fool! Everyone knew but me!!"
Antonio:"Who????"
Ricardo:"Why don't you go ask your lover that one??? Oh, yeah I forgot she left...."
Antonio:"Gabi????!!!!"
Ricardo seizes his brother and corners him at the corner of the pier. Carmen starts to run up to the pier to try and stop the terrible event that she had foretold in her cards.
Ricardo:"You're going to pay for what you did." Antonio trys to get out of Ricardo's grip but is unsuccessful.
Antonio:"I'm sorry, Ricardo...I couldn't help myself."
Ricardo:"You're sorry??!! I can't stand to look at you right now, I feel so much hate....."
Ricardo pushes Antonio hard into the corner pole of the pier. They all hear the cracking sound of
the pole, but are helpless to prevent what happened next.
The two brothers fall off the edge of the pier. One is desperately gripping the edge while the other
hangs from his brothers foot.
Unable to hold on any longer he falls, hitting his head on the pole on the way down and lands head
first into the ocean.
Carmen:"No...", she screams. "Mi hijo!!!!!!!"
