Road To Perdition Page #4

What is it?

Give me the gun.

Where are we going?

To Chicago.

There's a man there who runs things.

I've done some work for him.

We have to find out where he stands.

Try to get some sleep.

I want you to wait for me here.

-Sure.

-I won't be long. You'll be all right?

-Yeah, I'll be all right.

-That's a good boy.

-Hello, Mike.

-Hello, fellas.

It's nice to see you. We heard what

happened. How you holding up?

I need to talk to Mr. Nitti.

-He's awful busy.

-I can wait.

Okay. Take the man to the top.

Certainly, sir.

Sorry to make you wait so long, Mike.

Come on in.

We all just heard what happened.

Jesus, I'm sorry, Mike.

Well, thank you for seeing me,

Mr. Nitti.

Come on, sit down.

-Like some coffee or?

-No.

-You sure?

-Yes, thank you.

So, what can I do for you, Mike?

I'd like to work for you.

Well, that's very interesting.

And in return, I'd like you to turn

a blind eye to what I have to do.

And what is that?

Kill the man who murdered my family.

Is one more body

gonna make a difference?

This is a good proposal, Mr. Nitti.

I will work only for you,

and you know I can do a good job.

I respect you, Mike. I do.

We would like nothing more than to have

you come work for us. But not like this.

What you're asking me is impossible.

Is it?

Let me explain something to you

that maybe you haven't realized.

All these years, you've been living

under the protection...

...of people who care about you.

And those same people

are protecting you now, including me.

So if you go ahead with this,

if you open that door...

...you're walking through it alone.

And all that loyalty, all that trust,

will no longer exist for you.

And Mike, you won't make it.

Not on your own.

And not with a little boy.

You're protecting him already?

We're protecting our interests, Mike.

I drove all through the night

to see you.

I appreciate that.

Now I suggest you drive yourself back.

Go home, Mike.

Go home and bury your wife and child.

With our blessing.

It won't be that simple.

You heard?

Dad, listen to me.

He's in the building.

-You can end this now. Take him now.

-Connor, get upstairs.

God help me.

God help me. What do I do?

You think objectively.

And you make your choice.

What would you do if Sullivan

were just some guy?

God help me.

-Make it quick.

-And the kid?

Oh, Christ. No, no.

One day the kid becomes a man...

Think he won't remember?

I said not the kid.

All right.

I know who to call.

There's a guy who's done some work

for us in the past.

He's gifted.

Excuse me, ma'am. Press. Press.

He was raping my wife.

He raped my wife.

Come on, come on,

you're treading on the evidence here.
