Double Take Page #4

Synopsis: The governor of a Mexican state is assassinated. Soon after, junior executive Daryl Chase's life turns upside down: after he flags a huge transfer of funds from a Mexican account as probably illegal, he's attacked in his apartment, rescued by a CIA agent, finds his secretary shot dead, and witnesses two cops get killed. He calls the CIA guy who tells him to grab the next train to Mexico. Leaving Manhattan, Daryl can't shake a jive-talking street punk named Freddy, and soon he's traded clothes with Freddy to escape the police. Within days, his girlfriend, his boss, his client, Freddy, the FBI, and the dead governor's dog are tangled in a web of deceit and danger. Who's who?

Freddy, do you remember my assistant,

Shari? You met her at the office.

The one with that phat ass?

L- I went to her apartment and, uh...

I don't know what happened, man. These two cops

wound up dead, and they think I did everything.

What's up with the CIA, b*tch?

- Uh, thank you. You're a scholar and a gentleman.

Compliments to the chef.

Sh*t! Who is this, Freddy?

I have no idea.

- Oh, anytime.

Whoa, whoa, whoa. He had a gun?

"Had" is the key word

in that sentence.

- Hey, Freddy.

- Yeah?

Freddy, there's a body out here.

What you want me to do?

Walk away from it before

people think you had something

to do with it. I'm using the bathroom!

No, bro. Just relax.

- No, I'm okay.

- You mind if I cop a squat?

- Not at all.

All right. Join me, man.

Go on. Take a load off.

Look, Daryl.

I had to be sure.

You know, I treat each case

with a certain amount of trepidation.

Uh, I'm really not Freddy Tiffany.

My real name is Fred Tiffany.

I had you fooled with

all that street sh*t, huh?

Yeah.

I'm just gonna be here a couple of days.

But let me ask you somethin', now.

Where them big-booty Mexican b*tches be

- Identification, por favor.

- Identification. No problem. No problem.

You better alert the governor

that Freddy Tiffany is in the house.

Freddy Tiffany, fool.

We'll alert the governor that

Mr. Internationally Known has arrived.

Oooh, sh*t!

You wanna die, get in the car.

I know how to duck us into Mexico.

Think! Just think, Daryl!

How is it I'm outside your apartment?

How do I know where

your office is, Daryl?

How am I at the bottom

of the escalators at Penn Station?

Huh? I'm the FBI.

Federal Bureau of Investigation.

And the name is Fred Tiffany,

by the way!

Most highly decorated agent

at the whole Bureau!

But you wanna believe

a drug dealer, McCready.

If I wasn't a Christian...

Delores, sit still, b*tch.

Hey. Hey, that's one

of those old-school hip-hop beats.

That's like some Run D.M.C.

That's more like Grandmaster Flash.

No, no, no. That's definitely Run D.M.C.

Man, listen to the grooves.

Come on.

What you know about hip-hop?

- You got that. You got that.

- Huh? This is "mus-ack. "

Man, it's kind of phat, though.

- I like the little mariachi horns, man.

- Yeah, that's tight. That's tight.

- What you doin'? Leave that on.

- Oh, all right.

You don't know nothin'

about that music.

- What?

- Mus-ack.

Definitely don't know nothin'

about dancing to no mus-ack.

Son, you better recognize,

all right? I got skills.

- Skills?

- Serious skills.

Oh, show me some of them skills,

Mr. Wall Street Executive.

- Is that a challenge?

- Yes, that's a challenge.

Hold this.

- Why, sure.

- I'm D.C., boy.

Well, let me check Chocolate City out.

Dark chocolate.

Free your mind,

and your ass will follow.

Aww.

You might be from the projects.
