Duplicity

So how long were you gonna keep me waiting?

Excuse me?

- I'm dying over there. - Where?

There, by the Ben Franklin potato salad pavilion.

I'm sorry. Are we supposed to know each other?

Definitely. I mean, we're supposed to. We don't, but we should.

- Ray. Ray Koval. - (CLEARS THROAT) Theresa Corrado.

- Nice to meet you. - Okay.

- Happy Independence Day. - And to you.

Look, I'm sorry. I don't know if it's the knee or something, but I'm a little confused.

I thought we were checking each other out.

No. Sorry. Maybe you're drunk.

No, no, no. If I was drunk, I'd be coming on to you.

That's a relief.

If I was drunk, I'd be saying how amazing you look

and how crazy it is that you're standing here on your own.

Wow. Are you always like this?

No. I sometimes sound like this, but this is definitely different.

- What's so different? - I don't know.

I guess that's what I came over to find out.

You're kidding, right? I'm dead serious.

Behind me? He made the turn with us on 6th.

Hey, if this is some kind of game you guys play to keep things exciting,

I gotta tell you, it's a little sad.

(CHUCKLES) This is no game, Ray. This is real.

Like I told you, man, this is old-school espionage.

Moscow rules. Street spies.

How far behind me?

He's about three meters back. He must have picked us up downtown.

And you know this guy?

I've seen him around. He's definitely Burkett & Randle.

I keep telling you, man. These people take soap and shaving cream very seriously.

So I guess that means we're going to plan B.

Let's do it.

- What's he wearing? - Navy turtleneck, gray jacket.

That was sweet, man. It's all good. It's all good.

There's no way this guy is working solo, so if we want to bust you out,

we're gonna have to make a little noise up here at the corner.

You wanna box him out of here or leapfrog? What do you wanna do?

I still think you're messing with me.

Call it, Ray. Box or leapfrog?

Or maybe you just want to find out if I'm worth the money.

Come on, man. - Leapfrog.

Jesus!

Watch where you go. It's New York, okay?

Let me help.

Open the eyes!

- Hey, you there? What are you doing?

Problem.

I thought you were in position. - I am. I was.

We're two minutes away.

- We're blown. - What are you talking about?

Reschedule the meet.

No. No can do.

We're blown. Just walk away.

Listen to me. I know what it's like. New guy on the team, big game,

you wanna make a good impression.

Hello? Ray?

Remember me?

- Sure. Of course. We... - Long time, huh?

- Yes! - Gotcha.

- I'm sorry, I just... - Just what?

I'm drawing a blank.

- Nice try. - Excuse me?

A little professional courtesy would make this a lot less awkward.

- How do I know you? - How do you know me?

Wow! That's tough. 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 terribly sorry.

You really want to go this way?

You clearly have me confused with someone else.

I don't know.

I mean, 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, seriously, I don't know who you think I am, but...

You charm me, you seduce me, you screw me,

then you drug me and ransack my hotel room.

And how sick is this? You know, the last thing I remember before I passed out

was how much I liked you.

All right. You don't look crazy,

which is the only reason why I'm not screaming

- for a security guard right now, but... - I can't believe you're going this way.

Wait. Is this a joke? Is that what it is?

Do you have any idea how far my ass was hanging out because of you?

Did I win something?

I woke up the next morning, I went back to the consul.

I practically crawled over glass to get a copy of the guest list.

I spent the next 24 hours trying to figure out

if you were working for Mossad, the Syrians or the Russians.

- And which was it? - Still working for the CIA?

Okay, I think we're done now.

American Consulate, Dubai, you and me, Fourth of July, 2003.

Find someone else to bother.

- Red, white and blue margaritas. - Stay away from me.

I had a knee brace, you had toe rings. First toe ring I ever saw, by the way.

You follow me, I'll scream.

I took vacation time to find you! Five years.

And every time I walked into an evaluation...

- I'm warning you for the last time. - ...I was waiting for them

to throw your picture on the screen and say,

"So, Ray, anything you care to tell us about Dubai?"

- You are harassing me! - So who the hell are you?

Oh, no. You?

- You're the drop. - You're my contact?

You're acting like I owe you an apology.

Knock yourself out.

You were an assignment. You're a big boy. You knew what you were doing.

I can see it's really been eating at you.

An Ml6 case officer takes a strange girl from an embassy party

back to his hotel room where he has an unsecured briefcase

- full of Egyptian Air Defense codes. - Did they tell you to sleep with me?

I needed the codes. I thought the less time I spent with you, the better.

- Oh, Jesus. - How did you get on this project?

- And you're the mole. - And who the hell hired you anyway?

- I can't believe it. - How did you get this job?

I got news for you, okay? The day I left Ml6,

I had 15 major companies begging for my services.

Well, I guess you picked wrong. But you must be used to that.

- You know, I've got a meeting in 12 minutes. - Where's the drop? Hand it over.

- Forget it. I'm not working with you. - Excuse me?

You think I'm gonna let you be my contact officer?

- This is way over your head. - Over my head?

Lady, I worked Yemen, Athens and Cairo.

I've been promoted and decorated every place I served.

Tell Duke to send someone else.

Listen. I'm sure you know your way around a shoe store,

but I did 12 years in the field.

And how long have you been working for Equikrom?

- Long enough. - How long?

Three weeks.

Three whole weeks? Like every day?

Well, I've spent the last 14 months undercover inside Burkett & Randle.

I'm an Assistant Director of Counterintelligence. I am all the way in.

So let's get this straight. I'm the asset here. You're a delivery boy.

And the only thing I'm gonna give you is a message.

Tell Duke I don't ever wanna see you again.

I run field agents for a living. There's only two ways to do it.

Either you bring them flowers

or you hang them by their heels out of the window.

Now, maybe you're so used to having your legs in the air you don't realize it,

but you're upside down, sister.

I own you.

- You've 10 seconds to get your hand off me. - Or what? You won't be my friend anymore?

I like this gig. I like the money. I like the hours.

So I'm not going anywhere, and you're gonna get over it

because if you ever mention again that you don't wanna work with me

or that we've met before or that you think someone else might do a better job,

if I get replaced for any reason at all,

I'm gonna call those suckers over at Burkett & Randle

and tell them they have an Equikrom spy in the heart of their security team.

Be a shame to let the last 14 months go down the drain, wouldn't it?

So where's my package?

Tell Duke this is the one he's been waiting for.

- You screw this up, I'll ruin your life. - I thought you tried that already.

You wanna take one last shot at that apology?

Okay. Thank you.

What'd she say exactly? I mean, her exact words.

She said, "Tell Duke this is the one he's been waiting for"

Do you wanna do it? - Go ahead.

Easy. Just... Just, you know, pull it out.

- Slowly. Slowly, slowly. - Duke.

All right, go ahead.

Pam, Pam, easy, don't tear it. Pam, Pam, Pam, Pam, just... Careful.

- For Christ's sake, Duke, keep your shirt on. - Just...

Do something useful. Punch up Tully's fingerprints.

Wow. Look at this.

So is this the big one?

- I gotta call Garsik right away. Yeah.

Come on. I need a secure line at Equikrom.

- How are you? - Good. How are you?

Houston. This was over the weekend.

Who are they?

Researchers at the fragrance lab down there, when they're not dealing ecstasy.

Track it.

West Coast Market Coordinator of the Floor Wax Division.

Came back from lunch on Friday, handed in his resignation.

- Unexpected? - Very.

Three kids in private school, he just remortgaged his house,

- and the wife has a heart condition. - All right.

Well, get his financials, phone, e-mail, and get the wife's prognosis.

Senior V.P., Medical Disposables. He called in Sunday,

lost his laptop in the Denver Airport.

Why does this guy look familiar?

He had a briefcase full of sales projections stolen last year.

- Is this the guy who bought the boat? - Same guy.

- All right. Get a team up his ass tonight. - I sent them this morning.

We're in a meeting.

Now? Everyone?

Well, did they say why?

It's Tully. Mr. Tully's coming down.

He wants the entire floor gathered in five minutes.

Dick, it's just that you have a very busy schedule today.

Yeah, well, something's come up.

There's the dandruff shampoo marketing presentation at 3:00.

- Cancel. - They're in the building.

Make it tomorrow.

The nail polish R&D group from Germany is at 3:45.
