STORY LINE
When Michael finds out he's being stalked by a group of vengeful but mysterious Ukrainians, he turns to JAMES BECK, an importer of hijacked cargo with ties to Eastern Europe. Unfortunately, before the uncooperative Beck can help, Michael is kidnapped, along with Beck, by his adversaries, who turn out to be working for the Russian PYOTR CHECHIK, a ruthless Russian mobster who is not a fan of Michael's...

[JAMES BECK]

Male, 40s, African American, a hard-core, intimidating, well-dressed man, Beck is a successful truck hijacker who ships his stolen cargo to the highest bidder; as Fiona puts it, he's "like FedEx for the caviar and Kalishnikov set." Well-connected in Eastern Europe, Beck is more of a businessman than a thug, and he's not happy when Michael, who's learned that some Ukrainians are after him, tries to befriend him for some information. He's even less happy when he's kidnapped along with Michael by the Ukrainians, who assume he and Michael are partners. Furious at being reliant upon Michael's survival skills as they flee their pursuers through Florida swampland, Beck would prefer to just shoot as many people as he can to get himself out of the situation, but he's forced to concede that Michael's plans are generally better than his own when it comes to staying alive. Ultimately wounded when one of his own schemes goes awry, Beck is kept alive by Michael's efforts, and in the end admits to a grudging respect for him...LARGE GUEST STAR (7)
