Duplicity Page #3

Synopsis: Ray works for MI6, Claire for the CIA. She burns him in Dubai. Jump ahead five years: he sees her in Grand Central and confronts her. Both now work in industrial security for corporate giants whose CEOs hate each other. Flashbacks fill us in: is it coincidence that he sees her in Grand Central? In about a week, one of the firms is going to announce a revolutionary product. Under the guise of helping that corporation's rival, can Ray and Claire work their own theft and find an independent buyer? To work together, using the corporate rivalry to their advantage, they would have to trust one another - difficult, if not impossible. Or, is one playing the other?

(EXHALES DEEPLY)

Oh, my God, he is gonna crush me;

Tell your people not to make vacation plans;

- They're gonna wanna know why;

- Then they're in the wrong business;

How are we supposed to work it up

if we don't know what we're protecting?

Look, I don't know; Assume it's everything;

B% R's mainframe network is a beast;

I mean, we've spent

the last 10 months probing;

We got nowhere;

I mean, the encryption

and system awareness codes

are tactically equivalent

to anything we had at the Pentagon;

The good news is 200 photocopiers

that B% R purchased last month;

We paid a little visit down to the vendor,

and we made a few adjustments

to one of the units before it shipped;

Call this the Ghost;

It's not fast, it's not easy,

but this device right here

allows us to hijack signal traffic

without leaving

any electronic residue behind;

Here; Right now we're hacking a photocopier

in their Human Resources Department;

I mean, we're still mapping, but look,

we're tapped into 12 units already;

PAM:
The B% R Research

and Development Unit in Westchester

hasn't brought a major new product

to market since 1997;

In spite of that,

we made it a surveillance priority;

Number one, we graph the volume of traffic

and the quality of vehicles

in that parking lot;

Number two, we track the stock portfolios

and mortgage payments

of everybody on site;

And, number three, we monitor

the frequency of Internet shopping

and pornography searches

from inside that lab;

Stocks are down, porn is up

and there's plenty of free parking;

There's nothing going on here;

We're confident

that whatever this new product is,

it comes from outside the company;

The moment this meeting breaks up,

we'll be going over every acquisition

B% R has made in the past 18 months;

We'll find it;

FETYOV:
This B% R building is very strong

with security;

Is the same for us like the computer;

We are all the time feeling our way

around this building,

but not getting anywhere;

Then we make a big discovery;

Travel Department is not in the big building;

Travel Department is four blocks away

and this building is very different;

- (CHUCKLES) Very simple and very basic;

- Yeah, it's a gold mine, Dick;

They basically handle

all of B% R's commercial travel,

so every private jet, car, boat, hotel,

housing, everything goes through them;

The boys have got some great ideas

on how to get us on the inside;

Very simple and very basic;

(BELL TOLLING AT A DISTANCE)

I swear, she was that big;

No, I'm just kidding; I'm just kidding;

(SPEAKING ITALIAN)

Don't start that again; Translate that?

- You're always kidding;

- I'm not; I'm a very serious guy;

(LAUGHING)

I'll be right back;

(INDISTINCT CHATTERING)

(SPEAKING ITALIAN)

Hi; Remember me?

- Yes, l; ; ;

- Gotcha;

- I'm sorry, I just; ; ;

- Just what?

- I'm drawing a blank;

- Don't even try it;

- Excuse me?

- Can I make a suggestion?

A little professional courtesy

would make this a lot less awkward;

- How do I know you?

- How do you know me?

Wow; That's a strong play;

Believe me, I've spent a lot of time

thinking what this would be like,

where we'd be, what I'd say, what you'd say,

- but I never thought that you'd; ; ;

- I'm sorry; I just; ; ;

You really wanna go this way?

Look, you clearly have me confused

with someone else;

I don't know, I'm not great on names;

I should be; I try;

Faces, I'm definitely better;

Faces I'm like a B, B minus;

Where I'm good, where I really excel,

people I've slept with;

That's been a traditional

area of strength for me;

Look, I don't know who you think I am, but; ; ;

You talk me up, seduce me, screw me,

then you drug me and ransack

my hotel room;

And how sick is this? The last thing

I remember before I passed out

was how much I liked you;

(LAUGHS) I'm sorry; I'm sorry; I can't; ; ;

- What? You think this is funny?

- L; ; ; No, l; ; ;

No, it's not; I'm sorry; It's just; ; ;

It's; ; ; Seduce you? You?

- You admit it?

- L; ; ;

- I just; ; ; No, I'm; ; ; No, I'm; ; ;

- No, you don't get to do this;

- You do not get to laugh about this;

- It's; ; ;

- This is unacceptable;

- No, you're right; You're right;

It's not funny; Seriously; Completely;

- And it's not you; It's not you;

- What the hell does that mean?

It's tension; Nerves;

Nervous laughter, obviously;

Your knee; Wow; All better, huh?

Yeah, with that brace and everything,

you really looked like you were hurting;

My knee is fine; Thanks;

Do you have any idea how far my ass

was hanging out because of you?

- Mmm; I can imagine;

- That's all you say?

And I'm sorry;

I can tell;

It's; ; ; I don't know; The laughter;

I don't know what that's about; It's about; ; ;

Nerves; Guilt; Lots of guilt; And regret;

Remorse; Just a lot of things;

I mean, I'm assuming you know

by now that I was

working for the Agency,

so, yeah, there's that;

- This sucks;

- Yeah;

I mean, we were under a lot of pressure then;

This is totally unsatisfying;

Well, what did you have in mind?

I mean, in terms of vengeance;

(SPEAKING ITALIAN)

(SPEAKING ITALIAN)

Hey;

What's that?

The reckoning;

Bad?

We've been bad;

How bad?

We've been very bad;

We're very good at it;

Worth it?

Very;

Very worth it;

CLAIRE:
Oh, my God;

RAY:
What?

CLAIRE:
It's; ; ;

It's noon; It's 12:15;

What happened to my wake-up call?

I left a wake-up call;

Oh, Jesus! This can't be happening;

This is not the day to not get a wake-up call;

Oh, God!

I can't believe I didn't get my wake-up call;

I had a 10:
30 flight;

I'm supposed to be landing

in Geneva right now;

You probably told me all this;

I just don't remember it;

No; I couldn't; It's classified;

Yeah, I was supposed to be in Cairo

two days ago;

- You told me London;

- The point is, I blew it off;

And nobody called this morning?

- You were here;

- I'm a heavy sleeper;

RAY:
So what are you saying?

I took the call and didn't tell you?

When did you set this up, anyway?

CLAIRE:
Last night;

RAY:
Where was I?

In the bath;

- We were in there together;

- When I went for the ice;

RAY:
While I was waiting?

CLAIRE:
I can't believe they didn't call;

You snuck out of the tub

to leave a wake-up call!

CLAIRE:
This is a five-star hotel;

How does that happen?

Welcome to Italy;

Look, I told you it was classified;

I shouldn't have to explain this to you;

Well, this beats the hell out of Dubai;

- What?

- I'm still standing, right?

There; See? There it is;

If you're looking

for Egyptian Air Defense codes,

- I'm keeping them in my socks these days;

- See, I knew it;

You'll never get over that, will you?

You couldn't;

I'm afraid that's classified;

- You actually think, what, I'm playing you?

- That's crazy, right?

This felt like an assignment to you?

Three days? All this?

What was the objective? Rug burn?

Who knows, maybe you didn't want me

in Cairo yesterday;

God, that's so sad;

Because that's exactly

what I was just thinking;

That maybe you're playing me,
