Blood Ties Page #4

Synopsis: New York, 1974. Fifty-year-old Chris (Clive Owen) has just been released on good behavior after several years in prison following a gangland murder. Reluctantly waiting for him outside the gates is his younger brother, Frank (Billy Crudup), a cop with a bright future. Chris and Frank have always been different, and their father, Leon (James Caan), who raised them alone, seems to favor Chris despite all his troubles. Yet blood ties are the ones that bind, and Frank, hoping that his brother has changed, is willing to give him a chance - he shares his home, finds him a job, and helps him reconnect with his children and his ex-wife, Monica (Marion Cotillard). But Chris' inevitable descent back into a life of crime proves to be the last in a long line of betrayals, and after his brother's latest transgressions, Frank banishes him from his life. But it's already too late, as the brothers' destiny is bound together, forever.

- Babe, babe.

- I can't, Anthony.

- I can't do it again, okay?

- Babe, babe.

They got nothing, all right?

They ain't got sh*t.

I'm getting outta

here soon. Trust me.

F***er!

- You get out, you don't even call me?

- Jesus, Mike.

Where the f*** did you come from?

- Good to see you.

- Hey! Hey!

What're you doin'?

Chitchat?

We're paying you to chitchat? You wanna

chitchat, you go back to prison.

You're paid to work, so get

a f***in' move on! Okay?

Let's just go back to work, okay?

What the hell is goin' on?

What do you wanna know?

- Please, don't be mad.

- I'm not mad. I asked you a question.

You wanna know what I did?

Why I went away?

Yeah.

I got 12 years for killing a guy. He

raped and killed a woman I was with.

Listen, I spent most

of my f***ing youth

in correction houses and

prisons, that's who I am.

You wanna leave, leave.

The few times I've seen my

father, he was behind bars.

But what I hated the most is

that he always lied to me.

I'm not sure I can get past this.

But if you want me to,

you gotta always be honest

and you gotta tell me the truth.

Yep!

Hey, Frank, there's a

woman here to see you.

Oh, about what?

She says it's private.

Oh, I'm sorry, I'm sorry.

Hey.

Look, I'm...

Uh, I'm sorry about the other day.

I don't want any trouble.

Why, am I trouble right now?

Please, Vanessa, I can't

really talk right now, okay?

I'm working, all right?

Oh, so you can come to my work

but I can't come to yours?

Don't touch me.

You want some help, Frank?

No.

You wanna go for a drink?

I'll be outside.

You want something to drink?

No. You locked up the wrong guy.

Vanessa, listen to me.

No, you listen to me.

I wanna know one thing.

Is it because of me

that you locked him up?

Is it because of us?

What are you talkin'...

You know exactly what

I'm talking about!

Do you think I could actually

do that even if I wanted to?

Do you have any idea how much

evidence we got against him?

No. You got nothing.

You don't know Anthony.

He's a good man.

Yes, he was trouble but

that's all in the past, okay?

You have no idea what

this man has done for me,

for my mother when she

was sick, for my family!

When he got out,

he promised me that

he was gonna stay clean

for me and for my kid.

I understand.

Some guys,

they don't keep their promises.

You're right, they don't.

- Where's the bathroom?

- Straight back.

- Stop following me!

- I'm not following you!

- Just stop that!

- Don't touch me!

- Just stop... All right, all right!

- Don't touch me!

- Let me just...

- I don't ever wanna f***ing see you again!

You understand that?

You f***ing left me...

- I... I didn't leave you!
