Deception Page #4

Are you free tonight?

It's me, Tina.

I'm in town. I want

to see you again.

I'm at The Rhiga, Room 802.

You better show. You owe me.

After all, I was your first.

Hello. This is the front desk.

Your guest has arrived.

- You can go on up.

- Thank you.

- Who are you? What

are you doing here?

I believe I was invited.

- You have the wrong room.

You didn't leave me a message,

asking if I was free tonight?

I must've dialed

the wrong number.

Look, I meant to

call someone else.

I'm sorry.

I need to speak with

you about Wyatt.

I just need to ask

you a few questions,

okay?

- I'm sorry, I don't

know any Wyatt.

Bullshit. You left

him a message,

- asking him to meet you here.

- I thought you said...

Who are you? How did you...

What? No. I just

need a few answers.

My name is Jonathan McQuarry.

I know you have no

reason to help me,

or even to believe me,

but I need to

know about Wyatt.

- I told you, I

don't know any Wyatt.

That's the name of

the guy you called.

No, it isn't.

I'm sorry.

I'm really sorry.

I'm really in trouble,

and this guy, he's...

he's dangerous.

It was in Chicago about

a year ago, at a...

private function

sponsored by my firm.

- He was attending as a guest.

- A guest of who?

A guy called Hollaway.

Rudolph Holloway.

I think they played

tennis together.

He told me he'd just

moved from Frisco...

and was in-between jobs.

He was extremely smart.

I know it sounds silly,

but he had this...

way of making me

feel close to him.

I found myself

telling him things.

I told him about this.

You told him about the list.

Yes.

There was something about him.

Something terrifying.

So why did you call him again?

You know when it's so good

you'd rather die than stop?

You want to kill someone.

You wanna kill...

the person you're

doing it with.

F*** it. Y'know what?

He was a good lay.

Okay, so what's his real name?

- Jamie.

- Jamie?

That's his name. Jamie Getz.

Jamie Getz.

- NYPD Dispatch. How

may I direct your call?

Central Records.

Central.

This is Detective Russo,

Precinct 22, badge

number 15421.

Go ahead, Detective.

I need all you got

for a missing person.

Last name Getz... G-E-T-Z.

First name Jamie.

Not gettin' anything.

Wait. Got a hit on the

San Francisco database.

You near a fax?

Yes, uh...

Yes, send it to 212-555-0110.

- Uh, Russo?

- That's right.

- Send you all we got.

- Thanks.

You have two unheard messages.

It's Petersen.

I heard you called

in sick today.

Just making sure you'll

wrap up Clancey...

tomorrow. Call me if

you need anything.

Hi, this is Mr.

Lewman, the Super.

I haven't forgotten

about your pipe leak.

I'll have a look at

it Wednesday evening.

I assume you'll

still be at work,

so I'll let myself in. Thanks.

End of messages.

Hello?

Hello?

I'm just making

sure you can start

Clute-Nichols on Wednesday.

- I want her back.

Two more days, and

she's all yours.

No. I want her back now.

- What?

Yeah, 'cause I know

all about you.

I know who you

are, Jamie Getz.

I know all about...

your best friend

Rudolph Holloway,

and where you come

from and your days...

as a two-bit hustler

in San Francisco...

and 3 years at Avenal

for insurance fraud, arson.

How...

Doesn't matter.

What matters is what I know.

Now I want her

back, unharmed...

or else I tell your

pathetic story...

to the cops. Do

you understand?

Well-played, Jonathan.

Mr. McQuarry, you

have a phone call...

from a Detective

Russo. Line 4.

The body came in a

little while ago.

She was found in a taxi.

The driver was in a

coffee shop, came back...

and there she was

in the back seat.

And she fits the

description you gave us...

of that missing

woman of yours.

- And what's her name?

- Simone Wilkenson.

Let's go this way.

You want to step in,

Mr. McQuarry, please?

Okay.

Is this the woman

you were with...

the other night, Mr. McQuarry?

- Mr. McQuarry?

- Yeah.

Have you seen this

woman before?

No, I've never

seen her before.

- Who is she?

- She's a Wall Street analyst.

- And... and what

happened to her?

She was strangled

with something.

Coulda been wire,

even a string.

Lab reports show

traces of Kevlar...

in the wound.

- It's natural gut and Kevlar.

- Kevlar?

- Kevlar?

That should narrow

it down for us.

You want to tell

me anything else?

No.

Morning, Einstein.

Ready for your big day?

You know f***in' sh*t.

You think because

you know my name...

you know me.

You have no idea

what I'm capable of.

Yes, I do. You

murdered Simone,

and you constantly

try to set me up.

Not if you behave.

But if you screw

with me today...

what I did to her is

kindness compared to...

what I'll do to your

little girlfriend.

Why, you won't even

recognize her...

when I'm through.

But her fate's in

your hands. If you...

don't go through with

it, I'll kill her.

Yeah. But if I do,

you'll kill me.

Yeah. It's a bit tricky.

But what do you care?

You were dead long...

before I met you.

You just didn't know.

You got no killer

instinct, Jonathan.

I'll give the instructions

to you later.

You've got until 6

p.m. to execute them,

or I execute her.

Now, remember, be

nice to everybody...

on your first day at work.

First impressions

are everything,

don't you agree?

- Mr. McQuarry.

Follow me, please.

Hello.

All of our C7 logs

are on the system.

I just saw this in my in-box.

It's for you.

I guess it came in a

little while ago...

by messenger.

Thank you.

Pay attention, Jonathan.

This is what you're gonna do.

Look for a group

of sub-accounts...

in the

Liebling-Holloway Trust.

These are masked accounts.

with IBAN numbers

ending with 6700.

You bundle these

phantom accounts...

and set up a standard

wire transfer...

to the Banco

Nationale, Madrid.

An account's already

been set up...

in your name.

Clute-Nichols is very

particular about who...

accesses their private

holding accounts.

But you have a

level 4 clearance,

and that's why you're

my friend, remember?

At exactly 5 o'clock,

you're gonna log in...

and begin a global

fund exchange.

Once you're inside,

you're gonna...

access the

Liebling-Holloway Trust...

through Rudolph Holloway's

private account.

You'll only have 40 minutes...

to locate the private

trust accounts...

and manually consolidate

all balances...

into a single fund wire.

Once you're done,

you'll encode...

this fund wire for an

end-of-day transfer...

to the Clute-Nichols

office in Hong Kong.

The Asian market

opens 15 hours ahead of us.

Thus, this transfer

will be catalogued...

as Friday's business...

and won't flag on the

Clute transfer log...

until end of business Monday.

That's 4 days after

we're done, Jonathan.

That's plenty of time for me...

to fill out a withdrawal

slip in Spain.

Hello, sir.

Hey, Russo. Simone

Wilkenson spent...

the night at The

Dylan 2 weeks ago.

The guy you like, McQuarry,

paid for the mini-bar

in the room.

Let's go pick him up.
