Double Take Page #3

Synopsis: The governor of a Mexican state is assassinated. Soon after, junior executive Daryl Chase's life turns upside down: after he flags a huge transfer of funds from a Mexican account as probably illegal, he's attacked in his apartment, rescued by a CIA agent, finds his secretary shot dead, and witnesses two cops get killed. He calls the CIA guy who tells him to grab the next train to Mexico. Leaving Manhattan, Daryl can't shake a jive-talking street punk named Freddy, and soon he's traded clothes with Freddy to escape the police. Within days, his girlfriend, his boss, his client, Freddy, the FBI, and the dead governor's dog are tangled in a web of deceit and danger. Who's who?

Sorry to barge in. Timothy Jarrett McCready,

CIA. This over here is Agent Martinez.

- He's dead.

- Martinez, take care of her.

- Hey! Back off.

- What?

I'm sorry.

Mr. Chase, we need to talk.

Relax. They're with me.

- You wanna tell me what's going on?

- All secure. - You got 'em?

- Mr. Chase and Miss Kent are now in our

protection. Yeah. - Wrap it up.

We'll do.

Clean.

Mr. Chase, we've been working a deep cover

operation in Mexico. It involves drug trafficking...

extortion and the murder of Governor

Eduardo Quintana in Chihuahua.

- Okay, that... What does that

have to do with us? - Yeah.

Have you ever heard

of Don Carlos Cola?

It's a dummy corporation that's a front

for the Gutierrez drug cartel.

They've been laundering money

through this corporation for years.

This morning they made

a $ 106-million deposit to your bank.

Daryl, what's going on?

Have you ever seen these two men?

No. Have you?

- No.

- That is your house guest from tonight.

I gotta assume you're going

somewhere with this.

Those two guys are on

the Gutierrez payroll.

In fact, they've been hanging around

the neighborhood for the last few days.

Wait a minute. That's the guy

that was on stage with me.

Well, now, this a**hole you ought to

arrest. Anything you need, I'll testify.

Yeah, that's Freddy Tiffany.

He's an absolutely crazy man.

- Stay away from him.

- Wait a minute.

- How long have you been following me?

- Protecting you, Mr. Chase.

There are people out there who want you

dead. I'm not gonna let that happen.

But for me to help you,

you gotta trust me.

Daryl.

Look, I gotta get back to Mexico

for a few days and wind this thing up.

Agent Martinez is gonna stay

here and provide protection for both of

you until we get this case solved.

Meanwhile, if anything goes wrong...

anything...

Mr. Chase, you call me.

- Thank you.

- Oh, you're welcome.

Good luck.

Hey, you guys.

- Good morning, Julie. What's going on?

- Hi, Mr. Chase. Shari's been

calling you every few minutes.

- I think there's something really wrong.

- Yeah, I know. She just paged me.

- Is she okay?

- She's hysterical. She couldn't even talk.

And then these two guys

showed up looking for you.

- In my office? - Yeah. They're in

your office with Mr. Allsworth.

- Who are they?

- I have no idea.

- Oh, sh*t.

- Mr. Chase?

- Can I get you more coffee? No? A bagel or...

- Excuse me, please, please. Mr. Chase.

Mr. Chase?

- Step aside! Mr. Chase!

- Move!

Get out of the way!

Get out of the way! Move! Move!

Come on! Move!

Shari, it's me, Daryl.

Shari?

Hey!

I don't wanna see you naked,

but if I have to...

Hang up and call again.

If you'd like to make a call...
