Look at the paper "Two-to-one mappings of manifolds" by Paul Civin Duke Math. J. Volume 10, Number 1 (1943), 49-57. He proved that there is no such a closed continuous mapping on ${\mathbb R}^2$ (i.e. transforming closed sets into closed sets).
Update: accordingly to the paper http://www.dml.cz/bitstream/handle/10338.dmlcz/700959/Toposym_01-1961-1_63.pdf there exists 2-to-1 map on ${\mathbb R}^2$ but I do not understand what is the image.
