Duplicity Page #9

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?

DUKE; Hair is power;

What this does is it returns to man

his original state, his virility;

- Don't laugh; Excuse me;

- Duke, I think you really; ; ;

Excuse me; Don't laugh;

(LAUGHS) Seriously,

I think you need to relax;

- Hey, what's up, dude?

- Hey, Ray, so where the hell you been?

I thought I picked up a tail

leaving the bowling alley;

Hey, I've been trying to call you, man;

Where's that cell phone?

- My battery kicked it;

- D'you want to get some pizza;

- Don't you want anything?

- No, I'm good;

- All right;

- Cool;

So what is it, guys?

- What's the secret?

- The secret?

Hair;

All right, listen to me, Claire; Forget Ned;

Okay? Forget Tully;

Do you have any idea what this is worth?

They can grow hair!

Okay? They can restore hair;

Do you have any idea

what we could sell this for?

What Garsik would pay for this?

They haven't delivered the patent yet, Claire;

It's an open technology;

Now, there it is; I can see it; It's a fortune;

It's just; ; ; All right;

Claire! All right, just wait; Wait;

Claire, listen; Listen to me;

There's always been a spark between us;

You know that!

Now that night on the plane; ; ;

Claire, come on!

God, Claire!

She's on the 24th floor of the B% R building;

She can't walk it out; She's gotta send it;

All those copiers you hacked,

Just give me one second, Ray!

- Just give me something close;

- One second;

PAM:
Twenty-two, 23,

I know there's something in there;

Guys, come on,

Can you get down to the 21st floor?

DINESH:
Just look for red; Anything red;

I flagged the hits in red;

- PAM:
It's red; It's circled;

- Just one?

There's a couple with more than just one;

No, there's just one; That's all I see;

It's a number; They're all just numbers;

One minute; She needs a room, name,

something; Where am I sending her?

Look for the numbers I circled;

I gotta get the book;

- What are you doing?

- PAM:
MR; ; ;

DINESH:
No! Hang on! I need the book!

She's on the way, guys;

We're leaving her hanging here;

I'm gonna find it!

- PAM:
Yeah, MR-6432;

- So it'll be in the front;

- What do you mean in the front?

- In the book! Look in the book;

- I am looking in the book,

- but this thing is a mess!

- Right here; Hang on;

See, right here in the front; First page;

Is it gonna work?

If it's not gonna work, tell me now;

All I see is a list of names!

Beside the name;

Match the name to the numbers;

- Is it going to work?

- Get the phone out of here, Ray!

Are you crazy? It'll kill the phone!

Okay; Where? Where am I going?

What? Sh*t!

- DINESH:
Ray;

- Come on; Come on;

- Hey, Ray, are the bars moving?

- What?

The scan trace on the Ghost;

The bars, are they moving?

Well, just tell me if it's working;

Yeah, but it's not gonna make much; ; ;

Claire?

What the hell is going on over there?

Can you guys handle this or what?

Yeah, no, no, no, we're good;

We're getting it; Just hang on in there;

Yes, the bars, they're moving;

Clenteen, Edgar; Human Resources, 21 ;

C-L-E-N; ; ;

Claire!

There are no names;

No, I'm not seeing any names;

DINESH:
We're good! We're in! I'm in!

That's great, but there's no

names on the offices; Where is she going?

I don't; ; ; I don't map it that way, Ray;

I don't know;

PAM:
Hang on! Hang on!

What is that? What've you got?

Clenteen, Edgar; H;R;, 21st floor;

- Where?

- I don't see it; They don't list offices;

- They give his number?

- What?

Call him; Call the guy's phone; Now;

(PHONE RINGING)

All right, I'm here; I'm ready;

She's in; She's found it;

- DINESH:
How many pages?

- How many pages is it?

One; There's just one page;

One;

Ray, really, we've gotta do this now;

I can't keep waiting;

- She's ready; What are we doing?

- Almost; Almost there;

Go over there, grab some maps,

find another machine;

- Why?

- In case we need a backup;

DINESH:
Almost there;

- Go! I'm in! All she's gotta do is scan it!

- Go; Do it;

(GRUNTS)

There's nothing on it;

RAY; It's coming through,

but there's nothing on it;

RAY:
Guys, what the hell is going on?

It's blank!

PAM:
Sh*t!

DINESH:
It should be working!

Try it again; Do we have a backup?

(GRUNTING)

(GROANS)

- Yes!

We did it;

Claire?

- He got a little frisky;

She's lying; She did something;

She left; Where's the formula?

Ned, I swear she wasn't here;

She's up to something;

All right;

The guys upstairs must have called it in;

Opsec has people on the way already;

We're fried;

They're gonna go over every inch of it;

You're missing it, Ned! She wasn't here!

She's playing you! She's lying!

God damn it, Ned,

that's exactly what she wants! Ned!

(PLAYING MUSIC)

Yeah; No; I got it right here; I got it; ; ;

It's in my hand;

Yes, yes, I am looking at it;

No, it's just; ; ; It's just a party;

We're having a little party

and blowing off some steam;

l; ; ; I mean, I have no idea what it says,

but then, I didn't take chemistry;

RICHARD:
Where are you now?

Where are you right now?

You're not near a window or anything,

are you? All right; Good; Go, go!

Listen to me, Duke; I am counting on you;

I am counting on you big time;

Nobody sees this thing;

You hear me? Nobody;

Now you keep that formula wrapped in

Kryptonite until I get back tomorrow night;

Yep; Got it; Okay; Yep;

DALE:
Yep!

(ALL CLAPPING)

FETYOV:
Here's the money!

PAM:
Welcome back;

(ALL CHEERING)

Fantastic! Time to celebrate;

- You okay?

- No; I'm burned;

- You burned me; You let him burn me;

- What are you talking about? We got it;

I left a trail back there a mile wide;

I'm lucky I made it out of the building;

I can't go back to work,

I can't go back home; I'm totally burned;

- Whoa! Wait a minute;

- Don't you dare!

- So what do you need, Claire?

- What do I need? How about a new identity?

- Duke; ; ;

- Stow it, Ray!

I'm gonna go underground; I will tell you

where you can send my pay and my bonus,

which better be more than I expected
