Blood Ties Page #6

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.

I'm sorry that I... I... That I

stopped coming to visit you.

Just, you know...

You know there was all the sh*t

that went down and I knew that...

You having a cop brother was

going to be tough on the inside.

Oh, so you did it for me.

Not one visit in nine f***ing years

but you did it for me? F*** you!

Listen to me, I didn't do

anything that I... that I...

Don't worry about it.

Life goes on.

Now you must do what you gotta do

He's living with you, isn't he?

I'm not sure that's such

a good idea, Frank.

What, is this your personal opinion,

or is this coming from higher up?

Well your brother has a very loud

reputation, you know, so people talk.

A man's allowed to help

his... family, isn't he?

Frank.

I'm not gonna turn my back on

him just because I'm a cop.

You know, I mean he's

trying to get his life

- in order again...

- I'm not asking you to do that.

What are you asking me then?

I'm just asking you to

be careful, that's all.

All right? You just do what you

think is right. But be careful.

Oh, f***...

Hey, is this the guy?

All right, lose the hat.

Sorry I'm late. Hey, Mike!

How are you?

Mister Herley. Hey, wow!

Mike you really did it, huh?

Jeez.

Well...

Well, great! Great job!

Now, I know what I said, Mike,

but unfortunately there's nothing

written down, right? So...

How... How can you say that?

I mean, just like that?

I'm sorry.

If it was up to me, you'd get it,

I mean, I gave you my full support.

So what's the problem?

Well, the mayor's been getting

these anonymous letters.

You know, and some of

his people have too,

and, you know, they're

not too happy about it.

Wait, wait. You knew about our records,

so did the commissioner, right?

Yeah, right. But, this guy,

you know, he's gonna make

a stink with the whole city.

So, I mean, what do

you want with me?

- You said it was as good as done!

- Yeah.

- That's what you said! Right?

- Right! I did.

And, and I said I'm sorry!

And I am very sorry.

But, you know, we got

an election comin' up

and, the mayor, he's just...

I mean it's just too risky!

Who sent the letters, do you know?

There's no point even telling you.

But if it's any consolation, Mike, that

guy's not gonna get the bid either...

- I don't f***ing care about that!

- Mike.

What I care about is you

keeping your f***in' word!

- You f***ing weasel!

- Don't touch me.

Do not ever touch me again!

You guys, now you're in real...

Now you're in real trouble!

This is... Now you're in...

You're in such trouble!

- F***ing weasel!

- F*** you!

F*** you!

You are f***ed!

If I f***in' had a gun... F***!

- Prick!

- F***!

What is this?

You're f***ing serious?

I don't have a choice.
