KLEIN:

They want ethnic diversity in every squad so you get

a white face in the AGU.

CHEN:

He's worse than white, he's green.

KLEIN:

Which is why you should school him.

CHEN:

So he can get me killed?

KLEIN:

Look, it's your fault he's here in the first place.

CHEN:

My fault?

KLEIN:

A freakin tourist got blown up in our backyard. Not to

mention an FBI snitch. And it happened on your

watch. The Mayor's been on TV talking about it, the

Police Commisioner has promised safety on the

streets of Chinatown, Christ it's been on freakin

Nightline. So if putting a white cop in the Asian

Gang Unit makes them feel better and gets them off

my ass fine and dandy. So why don't you get out of

here and do something about these whores

turning up in dumpsters. It's embarrassing.

Klein sniffs the air, then peeks out from under his

wash cloth.

KLEIN:

You still here?

INT:
AGU OFFICES - day

Wallace is tacking a photo layout of the Hip Sing Triad to

the wall as Chen re-enters.

UNG:

Junior brought a scorecard.

Chen takes out a thick magic marker, starts crossing out

photos.

CHEN:

Dead, dead in prison. The rest usually stop by for a

visit. It's not healthy to let them know what we

know....Why does a white cop request Asian Gangs?

WALLACE:

Detective Shield, an extra eight grand a year in my

pocket...and a chance to work with you.

UNG:

Uh oh. Yellow fever. You got a hard on for all things

Chinese, right? The food, customs, women. You got

a Chinese girlfriend, don't ya?

WALLACE:

Actually, uh....no.

CHEN:

But ya did?

WALLACE:

Are we all gonna exchange sexual histories?

UNG:

I knew it. Yellow f***in fever. Junior's here to walk

the street and get his wick licked by a nice

almond-eyed beauty.

WALLACE:

I'm here so Chinese immigrants don't have to live

thirty to a room. Or spend twenty hours a day making

clothes for slave wages.

CHEN:

Why do you give sh*t about Chinese immigrants?

WALLACE:

I'm a cop. I give a sh*t about enforcing the law.

DENG:

So what's your plan to save the yellow people?

WALLACE:

Same techniques used on every other organized

crime operation in the city. Bust the street soldiers

every time we see �em, move up the food chain to the

Council, cramp �em with surveillance, sting operations,

keep climbing all the way to Uncle Benny.

Chen laughs at Wallace's naivete.

UNG:

This ain't every other organized crime operation in the

city. We work cases, Junior. Keep the tourists safe.

Violence spills into the street, we break heads. `Cept

Detective Deng, she's above that.

DENG:

When the department authorizes police brutality perhaps I'll join you.

CHEN:

You don't change Chinatown, it changes you.

WALLACE:

I'm ready to give it a shot.

Chen eyeballs the cocky kid.

CHEN:

Alright...Don't make plans tonight.

WALLACE:

Why?

UNG:

Cause we're goin on a panty raid.

5. THE GINZA RAID

-----------------

EXT:
PANTY RAID BUILDING - DUSK

Except for the ten COPS moving quickly toward an

unmarked door, the alley is empty. Out front is Chen.

He orders a thick COP toward the door which is

quickly opened with a crowbar.

INT:
PANTY RAID BUILDING, STAIRCASE - NIGHT

Chen calmly lays his dark hankerchief over the tiny

survellience camera, then leads the group up the

stairs.

UNG:

(whispers to Wallace) You never know how a guy

gettin his dick rubbed is gonna react when you

charge into the room, so keep your eyes sharp and

your Glock cocked. And don't be trying to feel any

Chinese titties you little pervert.

Snickers from the men.

CHEN:

Wallace stays out here.

Wallace doesn't like it, but doesn't argue it. Chen pulls

his .45 and nods to the thick Cop, who thrusts his

crowbar into the lock jam and snaps it off. They hit

the hallway like a tornado. Bright lights strobe the

length of the place thrusting us several minutes into

the future.

INT:
GINZA MASSAGE HALLWAY - A SHORT TIME LATER

The cops are dragging about ten prostitutes and

matching Johns into the hallway.

Chen coordinates when he sees Deng leading May and

three other dressed prostitues from the front

towards the back hallway. May looks at Chen and he

knows why Lee smiled when he gave him the Ginza.

CHEN:

Deng. See if you can find any files back there.

He turns to a uniform.

CHEN:

(referring to the prostitutes)

Joe, take �em down, Wallace'll help ya write

�em up.

Deng heads back down the hall while the uniform

corrals the girls down the stairs the cops came up.

Chen grabs May as she passes and pulls her into one

of the bedrooms.

INT:
1ST GINZA BEDROOM

Chen reaches into May's pocket, finding a packet of

white powder. She tries to kiss him. He pulls away

and pockets the heroin, pissing her off. He quiets her

with three hundreds.

CHEN:

(Cantonese)

Get outta here.

He gently nudges her out to the hallway and towards

the backstairs where Wallace is just coming up with a

handfull of paperwork.

WALLACE:

You want me to take her?

Chen shakes his head as he lets May head towards

the exit. He turns back to Wallace who stands talking

to a uniform who is handing him some paperwork.

CHEN:

(sotto to Wallace)

Always throw back the smallest of the day's

catch.

Suddenly a torrent of automatic gunfire explodes at

the opposite end of the hallway taking out the glass

door and the uniform who stood in front of it

revealing a Fukiense shooter behind the shatterered

door. One cop down. Chen's instinct are immediate.The

Fuke killer is toast. The uniform who was talking to

Wallace turns towards the action and is met with a

pile of lead exploding his heart, blowing out his back

and spraying Wallace with blood. Wallace freezes- a

deer in the headlight. Chen sees this, jumps across

the hall and pushes Wallace out of the line of fire and

into one of the bedrooms. The doorway where Wallace

stood explodes into a million pieces of shrapnel. He

would have been chopmeat. Just at that moment, Ung

crosses the hall in the opposite direction, shielding a

prostitute as he takes out the shooter who took out

the uniform and almost Wallace.
