Harry (Total Recall)

"Uh-uh, pal! You got yourself mixed up with someone else!"

- Harry attempting to detain Quaid.

Harry is a minor antagonist of Total Recall. He is known to be the best of Douglas Quaid, but turns out to be a spy working for Vilos Cohaagen, assigned to watch over Quaid during his turf as a construction worker on Earth.

He was portrayed by Robert Costanzo in the 1990 film, and by Bokeem Woodbine in the 2012 film.

Role
Harry first appeared when he and Quaid were drilling rocks as part of their jobs. Reflecting of the time when he saw a commercial about a company called Rekall of their offer of memory ego trips, Quaid asks Harry if he heard about it. Though Harry confirmed that he has heard about it, he warns Quaid not to do so, saying that he had a friend who nearly got lobotomized after taking an offer from Rekall.

Needless to say, Quaid decides to ignore Harry's advice and head over to Rekall himself, but the doctors soon learned that Quaid's memory has been popped up. Having been aware of Quaid's recent activities, Cohaagen orders Harry and several of his construction workers to detain Quaid. It also turn out that Harry is involved of Cohaagen's true plan of wiping out the resistance forces at Mars so that Cohaagen can continue his abusive monopoly of selling oxygen to the Mars colonies. To ensure of this, Cohaagen also sends in Richter to detain Quaid and bring him back to Mars, despite Richter's attempts to kill Quaid.

As Quaid receives a ride home after being erased of his memory at Rekall, Harry confronts him for going to Rekall and has his men to capture Quaid, who protests at this. Quaid tries to plead for his life by telling Harry that he's making a big mistake, but Harry refuses to back down. As a result, Quaid is forced to fight back against Harry using specialized skills, allowing him to finish off Harry by breaking his neck before killing the other men.

Horrified of what has happened, Quaid runs off, learning that his life is a lie (including his so-called marriage with a woman named Lori Quaid, and he's being used by Cohaagen to track down the Resistance members of Mars.
