DOUGLAS:

What money?

TOM:

Come on. You think you can get away with it?

DOUGLAS:

Get away with what?

TOM:

You took the old man, a**hole! Listen to me. He was at the bar.

You pick him up, leave together. Next day he's an obit. You do

the math, a**hole!

INT.CAR NIGHT RAIN

CLARK:

Omni Hotel. How can I help you?

DOUGLAS:

Miss Jane Fuller, please.

JANE:

hello? Who is this?

INT. HOTEL NIGHT

DOUGLAS:

The night your father was killed, he tried to reach me. He wanted

to meet at some bar.

JANE:

What for?

DOUGLAS:

He left someone was after him.

JANE:

Did you talk to him?

DOUGLAS:

I know how strange this sounds. I can't remember.

JANE:

What do you mean, you can't remember? Did you talk to the

detective about this?

DOUGLAS:

No, but the bartender will, if I don't pay up. I know how crazy

this sounds.

JANE:

You can't just plug your brain into this machine and not expect

to be affected by it please walk away from this before you get

hurt too.

DOUGLAS:

Why do I get the feeling we've met before?

JANE:

Maybe, we have, in another life.

DOUGLAS:

What are you doing in Paris? What*s that other life like?

JANE:

I don't want to talk about it.

DOUGLAS:

Why not?

JANE:

I guess I don't want you to lose interest in me.

DOUGLAS:

You don't have to worry about that.

JANE:

Let's dance.

DOUGLAS:

Me? Mo, no.

JANE:

Yes, come on.

DOUGLAS:

I buy all my shoes in left pairs.

JANE:

It's easy. I'll show you the steps. You're doing pretty good for

a man with no right foot.

DOUGLAS:

must've picked it up in another life.

JANE:

You know that feeling you have that we met before? It's the same

with me.

DOUGLAS:

Why is that?

JANE:

They say that deja vu is usually a sign of love at first sight.

INT. BEDROOM

McBAIN

Don't make any sudden moves. What it's usually all about. Murder.

INT. POLICE OFFICE

McBAIN

Is that your car?

DOUGLAS:

Those are my plates.

McBAIN

No, sh*t? That's from a security camera in your garage in your

office building the night Fuller was killed.

DOUGLAS:

I'm not sure. I don't understand.

McBAIN

That makes one of us. Fuller wants to shut down the project,

and you sliced him up.

DOUGLAS:

I think it's time I call my attorney.

McBAIN

You say you left your office at 10.

DOUGLAS:

I was working late with Whitney. I told you that.

McBAIN

Anybody with you?

DOUGLAS:

No.

McBAIN

You're picking up bad habits left and right.

DOUGLAS:

Must be the stress.

McBAIN

Then you'll need a carton. Mane's Tom Jones. Said he saw your

picture in the news paper. Said you looked like the guy Fuller

left the bar with that night. We took his statement. Said we'd

be in touch. Someone reached out and touched him first.

INT. JAIL

COP:

Looks like you found an alibi. You're free to go for now.
