INT. TRIBAL COUNCIL ROOM - DAY
[T'Challa sits on his throne surrounded by the Tribal Elders, Ramonda, Shuri, Okoye, and the Dora.]
[Ross and Gabrielle stand behind everyone, hidden by a disillusionment charm. Only a skilled eye would be able to see them.]
"That is a really powerful disillusionment charm," Lily says.
"You just have to put more magic into it," Gabrielle shrugs as if it was easy.
RIVER TRIBE ELDER: Is this man Wakandan or not?
MINING TRIBE ELDER: (in Xhosa) Tell us what is going on.
[Killmonger is escorted in by W'Kabi.]
[Ross looks at Gabrielle and opens his mouth, but she quickly covers it with her hand and gives him a look.]
[W'Kabi tensely steps next to T'Challa as Killmonger takes his place before the circle.]
T'CHALLA: (in Xhosa) Speak.
W'KABI: (translates for Killmonger) Speak.
KILLMONGER: I'm standing in your house. Serving justice to a man who stole your vibranium and murdered your people. Justice your King couldn't deliver.
[T'Challa walks close enough to Killmonger to be able to whisper to him.]
T'CHALLA: I don't care that you brought Klaue, the only reason I don't kill you where you stand is because I know who you are... now what do you want?
KILLMONGER: I want the throne.
[The entire room scoffs at this. Some ELDERS even hold their heads back and laugh. Gabrielle and Ross share a look.]
MINING TRIBE ELDER: (in Xhosa) My goodness.
KILLMONGER: Y'all sittin' up here comfortable. Must feel good. There's about 2 billion people all over the world that look like us but their lives are a lot harder, Wakanda has the tools to liberate them all.
T'CHALLA: And what tools are those?
KILLMONGER: Vibranium. Your weapons.
T'CHALLA: Our weapons will not be used to wage war on the world. It is not our way to be judge, jury, and executioner for people who are not our own.
KILLMONGER: Not your own? But didn't life start here, on this continent? So aren't all people your people?
T'CHALLA: I am not King of all people. I am King of Wakanda. And it is my responsibility to make sure our people are safe and that vibranium does not fall into the hands of a person like you.
[The elders murmur and Killmonger's disrespect. They wait to see how T'Challa will respond. Then, Ramonda suddenly speaks.]
RAMONDA: Son, we have entertained this charlatan for too long. Reject his request.
[Killmonger eyes the Elders with an amused grin.]
KILLMONGER: Oh, I ain't requesting anything. Ask who I am.
SHURI: You are Erik Stevens. An American black operative. A mercenary nicknamed Killmonger. That's who you are.
KILLMONGER: (laughing) That's not my name, Princess. Ask me, King.
T'CHALLA: No.
"You didn't ask him because you didn't want anyone to find out," Shuri says, realizing. "You knew he was going to challenge you." T'Challa nods.
