The Wrong Guy Page #6

Synopsis: In Cleveland, the histrionic and clumsy executive Nelson Hibbert expects to be promoted to president of the Nigel Industries since he is engaged to the owner's daughter. However, his future father-in-law Mr. Nagel chooses the executive Ken Daly for the position, and Nelson threatens him in front of the board of directors. Later he decides to pay a visit to Mr. Nagel but finds him dead with a knife in his neck. Nelson removes the knife and is covered of blood, becoming hysterical and leaving the office assuming that he is the prime suspect. However, the surveillance cameras disclose the identity of the killer, and while Nelson escapes to Metcaf believing that he is chased by the police, the killer is pursued by the police and tries to eliminate Nelson believing that he is a "super-cop" on his trail.

to get from here to

Cincinnati by helicopter?

I don't know.

About half an hour.

Great, get one.

I got a sister

in Cincinnati

I haven't seen

in 8 months. Let's go!

Okay, Charlie, what are you

carrying today?

A whole shipment

of tainted ham.

[ Metal door squeaking ]

[ Breathing heavily ]

How do you feel now?

How do you feel?

[ Sighs ]

Fine, fine.

What happened?

You ate 10 tainted hams.

We pumped your stomach.

You're very lucky

to be alive.

Thanks.

Just need your name

for our records.

My name?

Mm-hmm.

My name.

My name is...

Jones.

Mr....

Enema Bag Jones.

That's not your name.

You're simply lying to me.

Right.

Sorry.

My real name...

is Harris...

Dr. Helen Harris.

No, that's my name.

You're probably still a little

out of it from the toxins.

I'll check back on you

in 15 minutes.

[ Clipboard snaps shut ]

[ Door opens, closes ]

[ Sighs ]

Must...escape...

-- I'm sorry, I'm busy.

Look, my partner's

having a heart attack,

and you're gonna save him.

Let's go!

Fine.

He's ready.

Clear!

And...

[ Electricity surges ]

[ Flatline ]

Don't feel so bad, doc.

You did all you could.

You know, guys, l...

really need to be alone

right now.

I think I'll take a walk.

Yeah, right.

He's taking it

really hard.

So, you won't tell me

who you are or

where you're going?

Nope.

I like that.

You know how many assassins

it took to kill JFK?

One?

Nope.

There were no gunmen

at all.

Kennedy's head

just did that.

Really?

I call it

the "no bullet" theory.

Oh. Hey, maybe

you could help, uh, uh,

with a problem

a friend of mine is having.

This friend of mine

was the first person

to find his boss

stabbed to death,

and now everybody

thinks I did it.

I mean he.

Two things --

one -- one, the man who

killed your friend's boss

is a Cuban assassin.

9 out of 10 times,

this is the truth.

Two -- two, that means

they'll come after you

with everything

they've got,

including

man-made viruses.
