Deception Page #2

Synopsis: Cat and mouse. Jonathan McQuarry is an auditor in Manhattan, moving from office to office checking their books. While working late, a smooth and well-dressed man named Wyatt Bose chats Jonathan up, offers him a joint, and soon they're pals. When their cell phones are accidentally swapped, Jonathan answers Wyatt's phone to a series of women asking if he's free tonight. Jonathan discovers it's a sex club: busy powerful people meet each other anonymously in hotels. Jonathan falls for one of the club members, whom he knows only as "S," whom he's also seen on a subway. When she goes missing, patterns emerge and Jonathan faces demands involving violence and lots of money.

Well, let's just

say there's a way...

that it can be taken care of.

You make it sound

like a mob hit.

- Had a good time tonight?

I had a really

good time tonight.

- I did. I had a great time.

Whoa. I wasn't

sure at one point.

No, I'm shy. But...

Thank you. And thanks

for the tennis...

and for takin' me out.

It's okay. Tennis anytime.

Particularly if you

play that badly.

At the corner, please.

The Waldorf Astoria.

I gotta go meet somebody.

- Take care. Have

a nice night.

I'll call you tomorrow.

Any problems,

you'll want to see

Julie Levinson.

She's our Assistant

Controller.

But, like I said,

I don't anticipate

any problems.

- Never had any before.

- Okay. Thanks.

It's really nice out here.

I usually just brown bag it.

You have to get outside.

Those fluorescent...

lights will kill you.

I read about them.

Hello.

Sh*t. No, I got

it here. Hold on.

See if you can change

it to the 6:
30...

out of JFK flight

#4. Right. Yeah.

Rutherford wants

me to join him...

in London ASAP.

- We're papering some

finance with Lloyds.

I tell you about this? - No.

- I'll be gone a couple weeks.

- Sounds sort of interesting.

Gonna be as boring

as sin, but...

Anyhow, I gotta get back.

- Ready?

- Alright.

That's disgusting.

I don't want to hear that.

Why?

That's repulsive.

Don't ever tell

anyone that. Ever.

You're the kind of

girl that pees...

in front of men, aren't you?

What goes in the Xerox Room

stays in the Xerox room.

Jonathan McQuarry, hello.

Hello?

Wyatt? I've got your

cell phone. I guess,

you've got mine. What

a pain in the ass.

You're probably in

the air right, so,

if you get this, call

me on your phone.

I'll speak to you

later. Take care.

- Mr. Lewman. Hi.

- Hello.

Actually, Mr. Lewman,

there was something

I wanted to talk to

you about. Excuse me.

- Hello?

- Are you free tonight?

Look, this isn't actually...

Sorry, could you

just hold on a sec?

Mr. Lewman, my bedroom...

I think I have a leak.

I was hoping you

could take a look.

McQuarry. 631.

Right. McQuarry. Yeah,

I'll get to it soon as I can.

Hello? Anyone there?

- Hello?

- Are you free tonight?

- Actually, I am,

but this isn't Wyatt.

Sorry, I didn't get that.

- Well, I am free, but...

Could you be at The

Dylan in one hour?

I guess so, but...

- Are you waiting for me?

- Yes, I think so.

- Would you like a

drink or something?

No, thanks.

I've got a conference call...

with Tokyo early

in the morning.

- Shall we go?

- Yes.

- Have you been in

this hotel before?

No.

Look, the person

who you thought...

you were talking to isn't me.

- You're not who I

spoke to on the phone?

No, no... Yes, yes, I am.
