Road To Perdition Page #2

-What a hideous world this is.

-You think you're so smart.

You think we don't know? You're

spending so much time in Chicago...

What was that?

We're out of here.

Jesus Christ, Connor,

what the hell are you thinking?!

Jesus.

Michael.

Are you hurt?

You saw everything?

Jesus.

You are not to speak of this to anyone.

You understand?

Not to anyone!

Who's this?

It's one of yours?

He must have been hiding in the car.

Well, can he keep a secret?

He's my son.

Well, that's good enough for me.

You take him home.

Think I'll walk.

Perfect night for a stroll.

Does Mama know?

Your mother knows I love Mr. Rooney.

When we had nothing...

...he gave us a home, a life.

We owe him.

Do you understand?

Do you understand?

Yes.

Well, come on inside, then.

Boys, clear your plates, please.

I'll do it later.

-It's time for school now...

-It's only a plate!

What's he doing here?

Michael was hiding in the car...

...when I went out last night.

Jesus, Mike.

I've spoken to him.

It won't happen again.

Mom. Mom!

Just the feller...

Our secret, right?

I'm talking about the dice.

A man of honor always pays his debts.

And keeps his word.

I'm gonna be late for school.

How is Michael? Is he okay?

I've spoken to him.

He understands.

That's tough...

...seeing that for the first time.

Well, you turned out.

You can't protect them forever.

If it wasn't this,

it'd be something else.

Natural law.

Sons are put on this earth

to trouble their fathers.

John's also made it clear that

Finn McGovern's operation...

...will be divided up locally...

...among two territories that John

will select personally.

I'd like to take this moment

to thank Mr. Rance for...

...interrupting a busy travel schedule

to pay us a visit.

Thank you, Jack.

Mr. Rance met with John and me earlier

to make another bid...

...for our involvement in the unions.

And I told Mr. Rance

what I told him before:

What men do after work

is what made us rich.

No need to screw them at work

as well.

-Is there any other business?

-Yes.

Connor, is there something

you would like to say about last night?

I'd like to apologize for what happened.

Especially to you, Pa.

Two wakes in a month...

What can I say?

We lost a good man last night.

You think it's funny?

Try again.

I'd like to apologize...

You would like to apologize?

Try again.

Gentlemen...

...my apologies.

Is everyone clear about bit borrowers?

There have been far too many

debts outstanding.

-Mike...

-Just give me their names.

Tell me who to visit.

Thank you, gentlemen.

Come on upstairs.

Mike.

Dad forgot to give you this.

It's just a reminder for Tony Calvino.

He's light again.
