Brothers Page #5

Synopsis: Before leaving on his second tour in Afghanistan, Marine Captain Sam Cahill, a leader, an athlete, a good husband and father, welcomes his screw-up brother Tommy home from prison. He'd robbed a bank. In country, Sam's helicopter is shot down and all are presumed dead. Back home, while Sam wastes away as a prisoner in a remote encampment, Tommy tries to take care of the widow and her two children. While imprisoned, Sam experiences horrors unbearable, so when he's rescued and returns home, he's silent, detached, without affect, and he's convinced his wife and brother have slept together. Demons of war possess him; what will silence them?

- What are you doing here?

- Drop your weapon!

- What are you doing?

- Hold up. Put your gun down.

- Tommy, get back in the house.

- What are you doing?

Hold on, officers.

Calm down, captain.

- Do you know me?

- Hey you shut up, okay?

- Stay back!

- Hey! Hey! Alright.

- You're a war hero, sir.

- I'm no f***ing hero! I'm no f***ing hero!

- You know what I've done!?

- Hey, it's alright!

- Just relax!

- Sam!

- Put the gun down.

- What are you gonna do?

- You're gonna shoot me.

- Calm down.

- Hold your fire!

- Shoot me!

Shoot me, come on!

Shut the f*** up!

This is a family matter!

Shut up! Shut up!

He is my brother.

Just stop for a second.

- Put the gun down sir!

- Just let me talk to him, he is my brother.

Give him a minute.

- Sam!

- You are my brother, Sam!

Sam!

Don't kill yourself.

Sam!

One second.

You're my brother.

You're my family.

You hear me?

Sam!

What's going on, Sam?

I'm drowning, Tommy.

- Go! Go! Go!

- Get on the ground!

- Get on the ground now!

- Gun's here! Get down!

Get down!

Give me your hand.

On your knees!

Get him up.

My darling Grace.

If you're reading this,

it means I didn't make it back.

Nothing is certain in this life.

The only thing I know for sure

is that I love you...

and our girls.

That is the only

thing I know.

- Hello.

- Hey, Tommy.

- Sam here.

- Hey.

- I was just...thinking about you.

- Are you alright?

Yeah, I'm good.

I'm just calling...

you know...

you're my brother, Tommy.

When's your birthday, Uncle Tommy?

Okay sir, you know the drill.

See in about thirty minutes.

Sam, tell me what happened.

Sam.

What happened?

Why are you punishing yourself?

I've loved you since

I was sixteen years old.

You know that?

If you won't tell me what happened,

you're not gonna see me again.

I killed him.

I killed Joe Willis.

I don't know who said,

"Only the dead had seen the end of war."

I have seen the end of war.

The question is...

Can I live again?
