Double Take Page #5

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?

wanna listen to your new partner.

Okay. Everybody, meet my new partner.

My new partner.

Top of the day. How's it going?

How you doin' there, sir? I'll be

over there in a couple of hours.

Don't worry about it.

We got it all under control.

Hey, hey, smile, man.

You look suspicious.

That's what I'm talkin'

about there too.

Hey, hey, hey, hey.

Loosen up the walk, too, man.

You know what I mean?

Put a little pep in the step.

That's right. That's right.

Take it back to the hood.

It's all good in the hood. It's

all good. How's it going there, sir?

I want you to check the numbers on the ticker

tape and I'll get back to you at 7:00. All right?

Look, bro, just act black.

That's all you gotta do.

Say, blood.

- What it is, jive turkey.

- Hey, hey, hey, bro...

All right, mama.

What's the last movie you seen, man?

Car Wash?

Man, you can kiss my ass.

Car Wash was a good movie.

Final boarding call

for the Empire Builder...

with service to Newark...

Hey, Mr. Chase!

In the blue suit!

- Mr. Chase! - Hey, hey, hey! What is your problem?

Get your hands off of me, mister!

- All right, I'm sorry. We made a mistake.

- Of course you made a mistake.

And I demand an apology

from the both of you.

What is this all about? A white man

in a suit with a black man in a suit...

African-American male, 6'1 "to 6'3",

wearing a blue suit.

- Why you puttin' your hands on me?

- Did you say blue suit?

Copy that.

You'll love it.

- How rude.

- I'm talking to you!

- Whoa! Whoa! Would you just get on the train?

- Just get on the train.

- Some kind of Feds, huh? - We

gotta go. - I know my rights!

What do you want? There's not

gonna be any Rodney Kings going on.

- Hey! Oh, I'm doing good.

- Hey, how are you, sir?

- You got your ticket?

- Yes, yes, yes. How you doin', sisters?

This is their first time on a train.

I'm trying to tell them how much fun

they're gonna have.

Oh. There's a first time

for everything.

You must not do that, young man.

Look, we're not trying

to give you a hard time, Mr. Allsworth.

But imagine how we feel when two

of our fellow officers turn up dead.

Well, why don't I ask the commissioner about it

tomorrow when he comes to my house for cocktails?

Yes, he is a friend of mine.

And so is Daryl Chase.

A very good friend.

I brought him into this firm.

He is the best and the brightest. I refuse to

believe that he has anything to do with this.

Okay, good. Now we're all very clear

on what you refuse to believe.

So why don't I tell you what we do

believe? We believe you're full of sh*t.

And we believe Daryl Chase is up to no good.

Now, we followed him all the way to Penn Station.

- Where do you think he was going?
