Ashes Page #6

Synopsis: Frank (Ray Winstone) is confined to a residential home, stricken with Alzheimer's - past, present ad future steadily disintegrating. Then one day, James (Jim Sturgess) appears, wanting to re-connect with a father who know longer knows him. James springs Frank from the home and the pair go on the run. As their haphazard journey unfolds - funny, violent and tragic by turns - the present merges with imperfect memories of the past and fact with fiction and we begin to realize that nothing is quite what it seems. ASHES itself defies neat categorization; part road movie, part psychological thriller; part contemporary film noir, but all beautifully shot and with a grimly satisfying twist.

That's right.

Go on, you'll be all right.

Jesus, Cath.

I missed you so much.

You'll be okay.

All right, I'm ready to talk.

It's okay.

You're okay.

You feel a little down?

Yeah?

Yeah.

Come on, that's it.

There you go.

That's nice.

Good.

I thought I'd lost you.

- I get so confused.

- It's all right.

You're all right.

Sit down.

You look nervous, Stuart.

If you lay a finger on me

or my family,

I sweat to God

you'll never see Frank again.

Don't you worry about them.

Just worry about yourself.

Come on, please.

I done what you said.

- We had a deal.

- I know, and I kept it.

I said I'd find him, that's all.

- I didn't agree to anything else.

- That's not up to you, Stuart.

You owe me.

- What you gonna do to him?

- That's none of your business.

Where is he?

I don't know what the story is.

All right?

I don't know how much he owes you,

but it's not worth it.

He hasn't got anything!

He's just a sick old man!

- I don't care.

- He doesn't even know who he is!

I went into the hospital

and I told him I was his son!

He totally believed me.

It's like he's a little kid.

- You can tell him anything.

- I never told you to do that.

All I'm saying is,

whatever you gonna do to him,

he don't deserve it.

You've got it all figured out,

haven't you, Stuart?

Look at your little brain

working away there.

You haven't got a f***ing clue!

You'll never leave me,

will you, Cath?

- You're hurting me.

- Say you'll never leave.

Poor old Frank.

Did you feel sorry for him?

Did he make you cry?

You don't know Frank.

Stop it.

For God's sake, Frank,

what have you done?

Get off me. Get off me!

- Who are you?

- It's me!

- What the f*** is wrong with you?

- Stop it.

You're not my Cath.

I don't care who he was.

He's not the same person.

You can't punish him

- for something he don't remember.

- I'll make him remember.

Some things you don't forget.

What's wrong with you?

Coming to bed, Frank?

For Christ sake, Frank!

what have you done?

- Who are you?

- You'll burn the house down!

- I don't know you.

- Not now, you gotta help me!

- What you doing in my Dad's house?

- It's me, Cathy!

You're not my Cathy!

Stop it!

- I don't know you!

- Frank! You gotta help me!

Now, what you gonna do?

You gonna kill him?

You'd be doing him a favor.

Believe me, that's what he wants.

You think you know Frank.

You have no idea what he did.

- I don't know you!

- It's me, Cathy!

- Help me!

- I don't know you!

Of course you do! Not now!

Help me!

Who are you?

You're out of your depth, Stuart.

Just take me to him, please.

I'm not gonna do it, mate.

- What the f*** do you want?

- F*** off! I won't do it!

Get out of my way!

Who are you?

It's me, Cathy, remember?

Frank.

You're hurting me.

You're hurting me.

What have I done?

I'm sorry!

I'm gonna go now, okay?

It was me!

It was me!

- You gonna be all right?

- I'm sorry!

Look, please, Cath!

Forgive me, please!

Don't go, please.

Don't go.

Don't go.

Please, don't go.

Please, don't.

Please! Forgive me!

Why are you doing this?

He's nothing to you!

Frank?

Frank, are you okay?

What's got into you?

Frank, come on, get up.

What are you doing

on the floor?

Get up.

Come on, we got to go.

Frank! Come on, get up.

We got to go.

We're leaving now, all right?

Come on.

Now what you've done?

What the f*** have you done?

No, no. What have you done?

What have you f***ing done?

- No.

- Wake up!

Frank, wake up, mate!

You don't! Come on, wake up!

F***! I'm gonna phone

the hospital.

I'll phone the hospital.

You'll be all right, okay?

- F***, f***!

- Jamie, don't.

Please, don't.

Let me sleep.

I just want to sleep.

You should go, son.

Leave me.

Frank, what have you

done that for?

Come on, hey?

- It's for the best.

- Yeah, for the best.

- Yeah.

- Yeah, for the best.

- I'll just fall asleep.

- Yeah, sleep, all right.

You need to sleep.

You go to sleep.

All right, Frank? Go to sleep.

Okay, Frank, get some sleep.

I want a drink.

- You want a drink?

- Yeah.

All right.

Here it comes.

Here it comes.

All right, okay, okay.

It's okay.

I love you, son.

All right, Frank.

Lovely, Dad, lovely.

You don't mind, do you?

It's just a camera.

Yeah, police?

You miss me, Jamie?

I miss you.

Every single day.

I'm proud of you, kid.

That's him.

He's my Dad.
