Blood of Redemption (2013)
Get down, get down!
There he is! Get that son of a bitch! My job was to keep people alive. But right now, I have a different job. Protecting people wasn't easy... but it was simple. Don't drink. Stay sharp. And be prepared to take a bullet from your client. This is the story of a dead man. When did you get back? Couple of weeks ago. So this is where you've been living. It's not the Biltmore, I know. No, it's definitely not the Biltmore. Want to sit down? Yeah, yeah. - Coat? - Oh, thank you. So, um, you want a drink? That would be great. It's your favorite. So, where've you been? I had some thinking to do. Look, you're the only one left I can trust. I need your help. Sure, yeah, anything. You're not gonna have any? I don't drink, remember? This is why I brought you here. Oh, my God. Whoever put your boyfriend in jail and killed his father is on this wall. I just can't make sense of it. Not yet. I can't believe this. You can help me fill in the blanks. Let's take a look at the family. Two patriarchs who join forces: Serg, the politician to care public affairs; Hayden, the businessman. They had their differences, but they respected each other. Sergio, you taught me the most important lessons in life... honor, respect, a man's word is his bond. And on top of all that... he made me his partner. - So phase, your gasses. - Same! To my friend, my partner, my family. - To Sergio! - Salud! God bless. I consider myself a very lucky man. Senator Roswald, it is an honor and a pleasure to have you here. Together, we have built what I am proud to call... a small empire. Still... my most endearing and gratifying achievements are my two boys. Although, like his late mother, may she rest in peace... my youngest boy is late. Fellas. How's it going? - Hey, big guy... Hey. What are you doing out here? A little extra security doesn't hurt. Well, enjoy the cold, huh? I got something for you, Kurt. Is it my birthday? - What's going on? - Take a look. My mother. I've never seen this before. She gave it to me before she got sick. I want you to have it. You may be our head of security, but I've always thought of you as a brother. You know that, right? My six-foot-five blonde brother. Always will. Thanks. - Have fun in there. - I will. - Don't drink too much. - Not too much. - Ahh, there he is! - Pop! Hey, hey. Hey. My boy! - How are you? - I'm glad you could make it. I'm sorry. - Did I miss your toast? - Ah, you didn't miss anything. - Good to see you! - Good to see you. You missed the toast but you brought the butter. That all changed the day of Sergid's 70th birthday. Hmm, Senator Roswald. Well, I hate to be the bearer of bad news, especially on your birthday. You said you had something urgent you wanted to discuss. We're gonna have to rethink our operation. What do you mean "rethink"? There's a new man working on the bureau. He can't be bought. So if I can't protect you, then you're going to have to stop. I'll have to get back to you. There's nothing to get back to. You do as I say. I was always around. Watchful eyes and ears. You hear things. The senator wasn't the only one to bring bad news. Serg... I, uh... I've got a nephew. His name is Campbell. He's my... my, uh, oldest sister's boy, God rest her soul. Anyway, he got into a spot of trouble in Liverpool. I'd like to bring him to the States, and, uh, you know, put him under our wing. Give him a job. Get into the business. Is that all right with you? Sure. Thanks. Come here! Have you got a speech impediment, huh? See, I never heard it when you was chatting up my girlfriend. Ha-ha. Now we're getting serious. Come on! Leave me alone! I don't want any trouble! Neither do I. That's why I'm gonna have to kill you. I'm going to have to take this. Yeah? Yeah, I'll be there. We're all concerned. We need to shut down the operation. You've been drinking. There's been a major change at the bureau. We'll be losing our protection. What about Hayden? He'll have to accept my decision. We're all a part of the same family. He's not my family. You know what I mean. This isn't the time to talk about this, Dad. It's the perfect time. It's times like now that we see what really matters. You and your brother's happiness. That's all I really care about. End it now. Get out with Loryn... while you still can. Too many moving parts. This won't end well. You let me worry about that. After that party, I never saw the family happy again. You got yourself a real princess here. - Men have killed for less. - You? You wouldn't hurt a fly. You wanna see some real action? Come and see me box tomorrow night. What are you talking about? He thinks he's Oscar De La Hoya. It means a lot to me. You know I don't like violence. But we'll do what we can. See what I've gotta put up with? You gotta put up with it? Am I annoying you? Okay, okay, awkward moment. I take the hint. What's wrong? My father... wants to end all of it. What do you want? How you doing, Uncle? Oh, boy. - Long time, no see. - Oh, gosh. - Yeah, you look terrific. - Thanks. Cheers. - A little jammed up, eh? - Yeah. All right. Look, I spoke to Sergio. You're gonna work with Quinn. But you gotta promise me. I want you to be low-key. Respectful. I want them to trust you. - Okay? - Yeah. This is not London. This is the States now. Rules are different. It wasn't my place to advise the family. My job was to make sure they got from "A" to "B" in one piece. But letting a thug like Campbell into the business was too much of a risk. And my job is all about risk assessment. A guy like Campbell was never gonna be satisfied chauffeuring us around for very long. Quinn must have known that. The family's main source of revenue was illegal gambling and identity theft. But Quinn had finally talked his old man into branching out. To the printing business. If it all worked out, they were gonna make millions. It's hard just to walk away from that. Let's add Boris to the equation. He's the one who set up the delivery at the warehouse. Printing the money is only half the job. You need someone to circulate the bills into the open market. Someone like Boris. Someone like Boris. This is the kind of meeting where things can suddenly take a turn for the worse. Quinn. It's good to see you again. Always a pleasure, Boris. How's your father? He's retiring. We lost our protection and... he doesn't want the family engaged in illegal activity any longer. What about you? Excellent work. What did I do to deserve such a gift from Sergio? Well, your operation is light and efficient, he trusts you. So I'm the sacrificial lamb. Oh, no. You're the wolf, Boris. Everyone knows that. - How much? - 30%. You mean I take all the risks, and you get 30%? Naturally. Tell your father I'm flattered. But there is one element he hasn't taken consideration. What's that? There is no one else in town who can pull off a scheme like this. No one else he can fully trust. I will accept at ten. And to prove to him my honesty, I will take my payment once we reach agreement. You see that? - I love your style. - So do I. Oh, Quinn, one more thing. Mr. Huang needs another delivery. Let's go, boys. Can you spare some change, man? Hey, man, can you spare some change? Something was wrong. This was no bum, he was too clean. And he was not alone. Thank you, bro. These guys were professionals. It takes one to know one. Get in, go, go. Are you okay? Yeah, sure, if you like concussions. You don't think it was Boris? Not a chance, he's not smart enough. Who, if not Boris? Well, the list of enemies is pretty long. But no one would have the guts to try that. No one would dare. - You want my opinion? - No. Yeah, sure. - They'd rather frame Boris than hurt you. - Why? They want us to think Boris is behind the attack. I'm impressed, Campbell. No, it makes sense, but who? Boris, Hayden, Campbell, Senator Roswald. Okay, so we have the list of our suspects. Anyone else? Kurt. Kurt? He does have a dark side. You know, for a big brother, you're such a dumb-ass. - Where's Pop? - In the den. Now that I've got you here, there is something I did want to tell you. - Me, too. - What? You hit like a girl. There you go. So, your kid brother just got accepted into the bureau. You what? - I got into the FBI. - Shut the fuck up! I didn't even know you applied. So what? Do I get big brother's approval here, or... - Yeah, you do. - Yeah? Come here, I'm proud of you. - I'm really proud of you. - Thanks. No dancing. Hey, it means a lot to me. I'm serious. Pop. Pop. What's going on, son? Kurt got into the FBI. I know. I'm proud of him. I'm sure you are, but... Come on, the FBI? I promised your mother. - I'd keep him out of our business. - I know. - I intend to keep that promise. - I know. Boris wants ten. I think I can get 20. Good. There's more than that. Hayden knows. I don't think he's happy. He will be. I'll leave him a good share. Make him an offer he can't refuse. It's more than he deserves. I don't think it's about money. It's always about the money. I got a delivery to make to Huang. Don't do it, son. - It's too late, Pop. - It's never too late. Times are changing faster than you can say "jail". Love ya. Quinn! Quinn made the decision to leave me behind. The Chinese were the biggest buyers of stolen IDs. The gang was run by Mr. Huang. Except that was not Mr. Huang. Good evening... Mr. Quinn. I was expecting Mr. Huang. He's not feeling well tonight. Really? I'm sorry to hear that. Yo, I thought we said alone? Yeah, we did. I know that identity theft is a growth industry, but this is ridiculous. How many guys we got here? What are they, go-go dancers? - Who's that? - That's my driver. See, I was expecting Huang. I was expecting Huang! Well, you got me. Right... You got it? Yeah, I got it. Relax, will ya? There. Now, about my money. You got it. It should have arrived. Yeah, you see that's... I don't see it. It's done. It's... no, it's not... it's not done. I don't... I don't see anything there. It's a matter of seconds. Yeah, it's, um... - Well, check again. - Yeah, I can do that. You know, could be the signal, like we could be in a bad area. Any second. Saw! Oh, Shit! Go, Quinn, I've gotcha! I got you, go! - You order a BLT? - No time. Let's go back, I'll call for help. - I want Grimaldi alive. - Yes, ma'am. I'll call Hayden. Hunter, go left, Sanchez, right. Watch your crossfire. Uncle, it's Campbell. We're in trouble! I told him to leave with you. Excuse me? Quinn. I told him to quit the business... and live a normal life with you. Start a family. Excuse me. Hayden. What? How do you know? Because my nephew's in there as well. I was about to retire. I know that. I was about to close a deal that would make us as rich as Croesus. Money can buy retirement, Serg. But not peace of mind. And look where we are now. I'm about to lose a son and you a nephew. Look, I've got a plan to get them out. I'll need Axel. You get me Axel, Serg. Consider it done. Good. That's good, Serg. I'll give him all the details at the office. Fine. Axel. Meet Hayden at the office. But Quinn told me to stay with you, sir. He was set up, framed. If you don't get him out of there, they'll arrest him. I'll get him out. It didn't make sense for me to meet Hayden at the office. He could've just given me Quinn's location. Take me to 15th and 7th, now. But I didn't question orders. Freeze, drop your weapon. - Come on! - Go, I'll take the heat for this. - Are you sure? - Tell my dad I'm sorry, all right. - Tell my dad he was right. - Freeze! Come on now... I'm unarmed! I've got nothing! Quinn Grimaldi, you're under arrest. How did he get through? How did Campbell get past the police once he got out? Don't worry about Quinn. I'm sure Axel will bring him back safe and sound. Yeah. I'm gonna go outside and grab myself a smoke. Your confidence in me was misplaced that night. By the time Quinn got arrested, I wasn't even halfway across town. I had never failed Sergio. I'm sure he had every expectation his son was coming home. Sergio. You don't have to kill her. It's me you want. Dad? Dad! Dad, Dad... are you okay? You Okay? Yeah. - Kurt... When I got to the warehouse, Quinn was already at central booking and there was a warrant out for my arrest. It was the end of the Grimaldi empire. After that, everything changed. Hayden and Campbell took over the counterfeiting operation. I guess they found a permanent partner in Boris. They're still protected from the law by Senator Roswald. But worst of all, Campbell took up residence in the Grimaldi family home. From there... he's got an iron grip on the city. So that's why you left town. I mean, you had the police coming after you. No, I just needed time to be alone. What are you talking about? My job was to protect Serg and Quinn. Now one's dead, the other one's in jail. I owe it to him to find out who's behind all this. So you came back for revenge. No. Yes, maybe. I just want to set things straight. So... Quinn gets out of jail at the end of the week. Think you're gonna be there? I don't think he'll wanna see me. You know... it's not your fault. Yeah. Yeah, I know. I gotta go, okay? I'll see you tomorrow. I know more than she can possibly imagine. I know where she's been going for the last few months. Let's see if she comes clean. Yeah, it's Boris Moljevic. We're coming right over, we'll be there in ten. Grimaldi, whatever you do, don't go in alone. Wait for back... Demetri... FBI! Put your hands up, guns down now! Privet, motherfucker, I said now! Put it down! Who do we have here? Boris? Agent Kurt Grimaldi, welcome. Your father must have died of a heart attack when you told him you wanted to join the FBI. IS this it? Is this all you got? Five of your guys against one? The odds don't look that good for you, Boris. Five. Not enough, Boris. GO, go! go! Take cover, take cover! Is the perimeter secured? The rear in the West Side isn't. - Where's Agent Grimaldi? - Inside. Come on, come on! - Grab my hand! There's no room for gunslingers in the bureau. Next time, wait for backup. I can ID Moljevic. He shot at me. We'll drag him in, he'll post bail, be out by tonight. I don't want him, I want Campbell. And I know you do as well. But this obsession with finding your father's killer is compromising your judgment. Now get the hell out of my sight. Had to put four of Mr. Huang's guys in the hospital... but I finally tracked down the man who set up Quinn. Now I'm gonna make him tell me who hired him. Rumor has it, Campbell owns this club. High-class prostitution. Sergio would have never done this. Two bodyguards. Word must have gotten out I'm looking for him. Should have hired better guys. That's gonna cost him. Who the fuck are you? Please don't kill me. Why'd you set up Quinn Grimaldi? I was paid to do it. - By who? - I don't know. We spoke over the phone! You got a contact? - I don't. - Give me your phone. Your phone, hurry up, Chopsticks. Come on. Why the fuck did you kill him? Kill the son of a bitch! Kick his fucking ass! Told you I was sorry. - Good kicks, though. - Kiss my ass! Maybe next time. So, you wanna know about Kurt. Does he know about the real family business? I think he knows. I think he always knew. Really? Well, he always knew what Sergio and Quinn were up to. I mean, I can't prove it, but... Why do you think he chose the FBI? - Revenge. - Revenge? Being left aside. Senator. Hello, Kurt. Haven't seen you in a long time. How ya been? What do you need, Senator? I was very close to your father. I loved him like a brother. You didn't have any problem getting into business with Hayden and Campbell though. Sometimes... things don't turn out the way that you plan them. Four years ago, I came to your father. I begged Serg to get out of the business and he agreed. That signed the beginning of the end. Then this Campbell comes aboard. He's more violent than ever. He starts a war. Kills all his opponents... or covers them with gifts. Well, I suppose that makes you one of the second types of people then, Senator. I just can't provide the protection for them that they need anymore. I'm useless. They're gonna come for me. You want me to bring him down. If I go down... they go down. So what? You have some master plan? I'm gonna tell all. Senator, I haven't seen you in three years. Yet you show up today and you pick me up, and suddenly, you're gonna tell all. Two days. I have some other things I've got to do first. Did they kill my father? I have no proof of that. You got your two days. You Okay? What is it? There's something I have to tell you. And don't judge me, okay? I'm just like you, I was there, too, remember? And... I spent all this time trying to figure out who did it. I've been with Campbell. Okay. I sleep with him, trying to collect as much information as I can. You want to be with a winner, don't you, Loryn? You don't want to be with a loser. You're my honey now. He and Hayden did it. I mean, I can't prove it. I mean, not yet, but... I will soon. Well, those two were always on top of our list. Here, I thought you could use this. Hot chocolate? Thanks. Only three years. Quinn Grimaldi, you are under arrest. He had friends. Senator Roswald and his gang? Yeah. You know the Senator lost his reelection. Pretty soon, he won't be able to protect anyone. I understand. But what about Quinn? Can't read him. If he's smart, he'll lay low, but he could go into revenge mode. Maybe get back to business. Definitely him coming out of jail is gonna shake things up. Are you gonna greet him? Quinn! Yo! Quinn, it's me! It's me, come on, get in. Wow, you look well, bro! What, do you get filet mignon every day in there? What, you pissed off? If I'm one minute late after three years? Come on. Nah, you know, I feel like stretching my legs. It was a little cramped in there, as I'm sure you can understand. Forget the prison life. Get in here, I've got a great party organized for you. - Come on. - Where? - At the house. - At the house? You're living in my dad's house, yeah? I kept it in the family, for us. I got you a lovely suite there, you got your own room... east wing. - Come on. - Sounds like a good time. - We'll catch up. - Quinn! Are you being... what, you pissed off 'cause I'm late? What is it? Quinn, get in the car. You saved my life, I saved yours. - We're brothers. - That's right. And, brother, I'm gonna see you soon. What, has that prison shit got in you head? What's going on, Quinn? Three weeks I've been doing this party, Quinn! We're brothers for life! My-my-my. Oh, ladies, you are going to make my day. So, Senator, how do you like us? Come on, come on. Let's test the waters. - Yeah. - Long time, no speak, Axel. It's Quinn. Look, I appreciate all you've done so far, but how about you give up the lone-waif routine and team up with me and Loryn? Let's take down Hayden and Campbell together. Say yes. Yes. This complicates things. But I owe him. Campbell and Hayden's printing business hinges on two components. First, the exclusive forgery software. And second, Boris laundering the money. We'll attack both. But getting 200 feet underground and stealing the software won't be easy. You need and access key. And only one of us can get it. So where is he? I don't know and I don't care. Why don't I believe you? Yes, you do. Wanna know why? 'Cause I'm your honey, baby. Why would I care for a loser, hmm? Well, you know love shouldn't be rationalized. Now that's a big word. What, rationalized? I was talking about love. I can be very good to you. I know. I don't know anything about Quinn. Okay, I believe you. Are you sure? Yes. Loryn does her part. She has sacrificed the most. Police! - Open up! - Oh, God! Police, open the door! Oh, God! Right. Senator Roswald has been arrested for murder, claiming that he got framed. Two of Campbell's girls. He has been framed. - No doubt about it. - Campbell? No, not Campbell. Campbell would have killed him. That's what Roswald was scared of. This is someone else. Someone with a plan. Maybe the Senator will help us. Not a chance. Now that he's in jail, whatever he knows is the only thing that's keeping him alive. Kurt... I'm serious. No more of that Lone Ranger crap. The next bit is up to me. Separate Boris from his bodyguard. Separated. What do you want? What do you want? Shh... Who are you? Tell us about Hayden's operation. I know your voice. That's not what I asked. I'm a dead man if I tell you. You're a dead man if you don't. Hayden isn't doing anything different than Sergio used to. It's counterfeit money. - That's it? - That's it. Ahh! Campbell's different! He runs a drug smuggling on the side, okay? Hayden doesn't know. He would not approve. He has also taken over a prostitution ring. Mostly... Eastern European women. But... Keep talking. He uses them in exchange of favors. What's that? Favors for what? Protection. Quinn... is that you? Quinn! Quinn! I've always been a friend to you! Quinn! I've always been on your side! You know, this was Quinn's and my place. But that was... a very long time ago. You know, your brother did everything... absolutely everything he could do to protect you. Yeah. I need to see him, Loryn. I get the feeling he doesn't want to see me. What? What's so funny? You're just not the first person to say that... all right? You know, I don't understand how you're dating Campbell, Loryn. He's nice. He gives me stuff. I just didn't think you were like that. So why did you want to see me today? They're gonna kill you. Did Campbell tell you that? What if I kill him first? You don't know what you're fighting against. What? Thugs with money? Thugs with power. First, Boris. Then, Roswald. They're afraid. And that means I'm doing something right. Stay here! Hey, man! Agent Grimaldi, Campbell is on the move, heading east. You can intercept at Hollywood and Vine. Surprised I'm not dead?! What the fuck are you talking about? One of you guys just tried to kill me! I don't kill cops and I don't kill feds. Well, who was it then? I don't know and I don't care! Did you frame Senator Roswald? Let me give you some advice. You're in way too far over your head. And you might wanna focus on somebody else but me. Axel. We need to talk. Did you try to kill Kurt Grimaldi? What is fucking wrong with you? 'Course not. - Did you? - No. Listen, somebody sent me this. He has also taken over prostitution ring. Eastern European women. Boris! He uses them in exchange of favors. Protection. Are you sure? Quinn? Why? Did he say anything about Sergio? Did he think I killed him? Maybe... I don't know. Well, that must be the reason. I'm going to have to talk to him. Do you know where I can find him? What did you tell him? - Nothing. - About the girls. And the drugs. I... I don't remember. I see. Did I ever tell you I went to college? I studied medicine. Didn't learn nothing, though. But I did find out how the brain works. Did you know we only use a fraction of the brain? So I was wondering, what happens to all that other information? And I worked it out. It's locked here in a library. What is your point? Well, don't you think it would be amazing if a scientist could find out how to unlock that library and take out all that information? Now, I'm gonna ask you one more time. Did you tell him about the girls or the drugs? I didn't say nothing. That's a good answer. But I don't believe you. I'm no scientist... but I'm gonna have to find out a way to unlock your library and get the information out of it. It is the truth. Your pupils dilated. It is the drugs. You're sweating. It's the drugs. Maybe. But I'm gonna have to make sure. Please. Don't worry. It won't take a second. Please! Boss? I'm working! I hate to sit this one out, but I know they can take care of themselves. I taught them that much. Only Quinn knows his way inside. And I'm too tall for the other part. - Hi. - Hi. I need my desk now. Can you just go and clean somewhere else, please? I'm nearly done. - Let me just finish... - It's... it's fine like this. - Thank you. - Okay. Oh, boy! - Oh, God, I'm sorry. - Goddamn it! So silly of me. Idiot! Do you know how expensive this equipment is? There we go. I'm almost done. I like to be really thorough. Just stop while you're ahead. I am not gonna tell you one more time. All righty- So, let me know if you need anything dusted or disinfected, buffed, polished, uh, slowly. I do it all, okay. I'm leaving. Thank you. Bye-bye. Hello... anybody home? Oh, Shit! Get in there. It must have been Quinn. He got away clean with all the files. Not for long. Don't you worry, I'll take care of that. That's a good thing. I'm sure you know by now. You better bring that back. You'll what, kill me? I didn't kill your father and I didn't set you up, Quinn. I know. What? Ask your Uncle. Meet me in St. Joseph's in two hours. Bring 15 million. I think it might come in handy. What did you do? What you talking about? Was that fucking Quinn? My mother will turn in her grave. What'd that scum tell you, huh? What did he tell you? - What is fucking wrong with you? - You ain't at the end of this. I set this whole fucking thing up for you! He's a scum! His own father didn't like him! Forgive me, Father, for I have sinned. And I still have to. Where's Quinn? You have the money? I'm not dealing with you. You should make that an option. My best option would be to kill you. That would be stupid. But very rewarding. Only if you believe in life after death. That's a smart trick for somebody like you. See, I thought you was dumb... real dumb. Especially after that with Sergio. Leaving him and then having him killed. Are you done? Axel, we both know you're not gonna let that grenade off in this church. Try me. Let's get down to business. I brought the money. Now where's the hard drive? Open the bag. Take out a bill and burn it. Is that good? An original, no copies. Happy now? So you gents want to help me out? My car is outside. Have a nice day! It's a dud. You bastard. He's heading South on La Cienega. Turn right at the next light. Ahh... Of course, I've been waiting for her. Let her in. I poured you a drink. He's somewhere in here. We got him trapped. Let's head for the car. Let's flush this fucker out. There he is! Kill the son of a bitch! "Brothers for life" is a relative term. Pardon the pun. Well, let's do this. Thank you so much, thanks. My father... wants to end all of it. What do you want? I spent all this time trying to figure out who did it, too. Get out with Loryn while you still can. End it now. Too many moving parts. This won't end well. I need a shower. I need a drink. Dead men can't tell stories. Stories about a son who couldn't bear the thought of losing an empire. The son who had his own father killed. And orchestrated events to make it appear as if he was set up. Well, the list of enemies is pretty long. They want us to think Boris is behind the attack. I was expecting Mr. Huang. I don't think it's about the money. Murdered innocent people to set up a politician. It's always about the money. He even willingly spent three years in prison just to convince everyone he was innocent. - It's too late, Pa. - It's never too late. His own father didn't like him! Quinn? This won't end well. Too many moving parts. You got a contact? Give me your phone. We spoke over the phone. Axel, we need to talk. Like I said, don't drink, stay sharp, and be prepared to take a bullet from your client. This is the story of a dead man. A dead man named Quinn Grimaldi. Completed my part of the deal. I knew you would come through. As promised. I, uh... got your FBI file. You're a free man, Axel. Thanks. Sorry about your brother. Family's close. But I've learned friends are closer. - So long, buddy. - All right. Your father was a good man. - Thanks. - Good luck. Hey. Axel! I may call on you soon. Don't go too far. My job was to keep people alive. But I had to kill the man I was hired to protect. Next time... I'll choose my clients more carefully. |
