Duplicity Page #8

- What did she say?

- Secure line;

Do you understand me?

And only if he is sure;

I gotta get on the plane,

and he's gotta call me,

but it has gotta be safe;

Yeah, it's me; I need Duke; Now;

Yeah; Well, tell him to hurry up;

What are you doing?

Me?

- How did you get here so fast?

- Not fast enough though, right?

- You're leaving?

- I didn't think you were coming;

I left the signal, didn't I?

You also took your passports

and the travel money;

Half the money; My half;

We took a vow; No one touches

the mayday pouch until it's time to bail;

I trusted you;

Which explains

why you were in there checking it;

- When did you do this?

- When?

About five or six hours after I got done

with Barbara Bofferd from B% R Travel;

You're kidding;

- That's what this is about?

- That?

We're in play, for Christ's sake;

We don't have time for this;

Why? Is it a long explanation?

Walk;

What the hell did you just tell Garsik?

- You're unbelievable;

- What's the secret?

- You screwed her!

- Yeah; For us; For the project;

- I can't believe you screwed her!

- It was an assignment; It was nothing;

Well, you should see the pictures;

Well, you're the last person

I need to explain this to;

The only difference

between this and our first date

is that no one was drugged into a coma

and left for dead;

Left for dead? You were asleep in bed

with a smile on your face!

- Yeah, for 18 bloody hours!

- See, there it is;

- You can't get past Dubai, can you?

- What's the product, Claire?

- You say that you can, but you can't;

- What is the product?

All right, you know what,

I did come back here to clear out my stuff;

All right, I was gone; I was ready to bail;

I got the pouch out, I'm halfway there,

and I suddenly realize,

"Oh, my God! What are you doing?

This is good; This could work; It's payback;

"We take Dubai, the travel tramp, call it even,

move on, never mention it again;"

So, there I am, I'm loading it all back in,

I'm putting everything away,

like it never happened,

and I suddenly realize

there's something missing;

- Where's Ray's Canadian passport?

- Okay, slow down;

Which I know for a fact

is supposed to be in there

because I'm the one

who taped the whole thing together!

Yes, okay?

Yes, I took the Canadian passport;

One passport; Why?

Because I was paranoid;

All this probing and testing

and not trusting me, it gets to you;

I thought, what's the harm

in having one little parachute

in case the plane goes down?

I wanted a hole card; That's it;

That's all it was;

And the travel lady, did I have to go

that far? Maybe not; But it worked;

And you know what, that's my cover;

That's always been my cover;

I'm a mess; I'm a horndog; I'm a slob;

But that's my edge;

I mean, we're here trying to run a triple game

on some very smart

and very motivated players;

What do you want me to do,

play with one hand behind my back?

It wasn't your hand I was talking about;

You know what? Get over it;

You know what? I'm there;

So what are you saying?

Same split, new rules;

You keep your parachute; I'll keep mine;

- You're that jealous?

- No, I'm that focused;

I've got two years invested in this,

and the last thing I'm gonna do is let some

stupid, immature personal baggage

compromise an otherwise

successful operation;

- So we're strictly business now;

- Deal with it;

Well, it might help if I knew

what kind of business we were in;

Hair; They can grow hair;

Where it belongs;

You mean what? Like; ; ;

Like, from now on, Ronnie Partiz

will be the patron saint to all bald men;

- Except there won't be any bald men;

- A cure for baldness?

Burkett% Randle Wash and Grow Shampoo,

enriched with activated Partizonol;

- Hair? That's like; ; ;

- It's huge;

Huge? It's beyond huge;

It makes huge look bloody microscopic;

Do you have any idea what this is worth?

I mean, hair;

To grow hair, to own that,

that's the all-time Holy Grail;

No wonder they've been so crazy;

I mean, we're sitting here

on a cure for baldness

and you're getting worked up

about some meaningless incident;

- We don't have it;

- We don't? But it's a formula though, right?

It has to be; It has to be a formula

with a patent application;

- So who's got it? Where is it?

- I don't know;

If you did,

you'd be sharing that, though, right?

If I were holding out on you,

what would I be doing here now?

How about pretending

to be pissed off and jealous

just to keep me from thinking

what was really going on;

That's sick, even for you;

Yeah, and that's not the answer

I was looking for;

Quiet;

(PHONE RINGING)

Hello;

Claire? It's Ned;

I need you back at the office;

Now; Like immediately;

I'll be downstairs in 10 minutes;

I have to go; That was Guston;

I have to get back to the office;

We don't have any partners

I don't know about, do we?

Yeah, that's what I want; More partners;

It would be so stupid to burn me now;

I have to go;

- We're not gonna talk about this?

- You said it; We're in play;

- We don't have time;

- Claire; ; ;

PHYSEC 1:
We had a motion detector

go off on 31, near Mr; Tully's office;

There's some document rooms up there;

We found one of the security cages

wide open,

and we started turning on the lights;

We heard some scurrying around,

had a little foot race;

It took a couple minutes,

but we found him down here

- hiding under the desk;

- Jesus;

- PHYSEC 1:
We get to running his ID; ; ;

- Ned!

; ; ;he starts trying to tell us the whole thing

was some kind of security test;

Hey, Ned, get these things off me!

We said, "Hey, that's great,

but we still gotta call your boss;"

That's when he started sweating;

- Where's the thing?

- PHYSEC 2:
Yeah, he had this;

- "Partizonol 6;1 ;"

- JEFF:
Ned, I can explain this!

NED:
Shut up, Jeff; Did you open this?

PHYSEC 1:
No;

- Did anybody else touch this?

- No, sir, just us and the suspect;

Suspect? Well, that's no suspect;

You're not a suspect, are you, Jeff?

You're a backstabbing little weasel,

and you're gonna burn, a**hole;

Okay; Okay, I want a lawyer!

Forget the lawyer, weasel;

What you need is a net

'cause I'm gonna throw

your backstabbing ass out the window!

Is the area upstairs secure now?

Yeah, are you sure

there's no one else upstairs?

It's gotta be cleared out before it's re-armed;

- How long does that take?

- All three floors? 20 minutes;

Go; Go now; Do it;

- What about him?

- He's not going anywhere; Go!

Okay; Back here, 20 minutes;

Hey, where are you going?

Hey, get back here!

Don't leave me here with him!

You heard what he said!

Hey, I mean it! Ned, come on; Claire!

Okay, you stay here with Jeff;

I'm gonna run downstairs

and toss his office;

- You don't wanna call it in?

- No;

All right, we gotta take the lead

so no one else gets involved;

What about that?

Leave it; Don't move it; Don't touch it;

Just leave it; All right?

And relax, okay; I'm gonna call it in;

Let's just figure out what we're into;
