The Corruptor Page #5

---

Chen leans out of what remains of the doorway, while

yelling back to the still shell-shocked Wallace.

CHEN:

Fire your weapon!

UNG:

They're Fukes!

The entire compliment is pinned down in either the

rooms or the hallway facing down three furious

Fukes. Chen pumps his final ammo clip into his gun,

pulls a second gun from an ankle holster and fires

away. Suddenly, another Fuke with an automatic

weapon comes out of nowhere and advances

kamakazi style to one of the bedrooms- the P.D.'s

gunfire no match for his Uzi. He's got Chen, Ung, Deng,

Wallace and the five remaining uniforms pinned down.

Chen thinks fast, retreats into the bedroom-

INT:
1ST GINZA BEDROOM

Chen quickly feels the solidity of the walls- finds the

weak spot of the plasterboard and starts kicking

through to the next room while the firefight

continues in the hallway.

INT:
2ND GINZA BEDROOM

The uniforms fighting at the doorway turn to see Chen

come crashing into their room and continue on right

to the next wall, battling his way up the hallway

towards the Fukes position the only way he can.

INT:
HALLWAY

The firefight continues but it's totally one sided as

the cops pistols can't compete against the Uzi.

Windows to the bedrooms are exploding like

firecrackers, whores and johns caught out in the

hallway shiver in terror behind whatever cover they

can find. A huge glass display in the hallway implodes

drenching the place in flying glass.

Wallace does the best he can, firing uselessly at the

kamikazi, only visible from the neck up as he keeps

the entire force at bay. Suddenly we see a glock come

up to the back of the shooter's head which blows his

brains out into the hallway, finally silencing the

automatic. Chen steps out, the arm behind the hit.

There's only three fukes left now, including Jack,

armed only with semi-automatics.

CHEN:

I'm out on three! One, two,

three!

Every cop steps out and bombards the end of the hall

with all the firepower they've got. They pin back the

shooters as Chen storms into the hall and races, guns

blazing toward the gunmen. All three of them flee,

one down the stairs, Jack and the other up towards

the roof. Chen decides to go up, negotiating each

corner with whatever he's got left. He gets to the

second flight just in time to see Jack desperately kick

out a window and make a run across a rooftop. Chen

continues the last flight up where he finds the lone

Fuke out of amo and desperately trying to tear open

the roof acess door which is bolted shut.

CHEN (cont'd)

Weapon down, hands in

the air, up against the

wall.

The Fuke cooperates, backing up onto the landing as

Chen ascends.

CHEN (cont'd)

Turn around!

The kid does, but as he moves he suddenly produces a

knife the size of a baby's arm that cuts across Chen,

slicing his stomach. Chen reacts with amazing speed,

smashing his gun across the gangster's head almost

decaptating him. Simultaneously, the last Fuke comes

charging up the stairs, Chen picks up the guy next to

him and hurls him over the staircase knocking the

charging Fuke down to the next landing. His gun goes

flying right towards Wallace's feet who together with

a backup of unifroms, comes bounding around the

corner, grabs the weapon and covers the two punks.

Chen looks down from top landing

CHEN:

You're late.

INT:
KUNG PHO RESTAURANT - NIGHT

Ung and Chen storm into the twelve-table restaurant

filled mostly with teenage Fukienese. They move

toward the rear of the restaurant passing Jack,

huddled with two of his friends.

Some of the gangsters stand to run interference, but

the two cops push through them to a back table

where Bobby Vu works a cell phone. Without a word

Chen punches him out of his chair. He hits him again

and again, knocking the gangster into the kitchen.

INT:
KUNG PHO RESTAURANT KITCHEN - NIGHT

Ung pulls his gun, holding the other gangsters at bay

as Chen grabs a sauce pan from the overhead rack

and slams it into Bobby Vu's head, knocking him to the

floor. He then throws it at the group of Dragons

closing in around them.

CHEN:

Want some?

No one does. He stares down the gangsters with

disgust.

CHEN:

Fukienese Dragons.

He spits on the floor then walks out the rear door

with Ung.

6. A BUST FOR WALLACE

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

EXT:
DAVIS STREET-DAY

A hazy sun slices through thick clouds as Chen,

carrying a take-out bag, exits a small storefront and

gets into a brown Chevy.

INT:
BROWN CHEVY - DAY

Wallace drives as Chen pulls a container from the bag.

CHEN:

Fishball Gongee. Wanna be Chinese you've gotta eat

the nasty stuff.

Wallace takes the food, looks over at Chen.

WALLACE:

Last night...You saved my life.

CHEN:

Part of the job.

WALLACE:

Maybe...I still want to say thanks.

Chen nods as he eats. Wallace turns up Delancey.

WALLACE:

That said...I heard you paid a visit to Bobby Vu last

night.

Wallace looks at Chen.

WALLACE (cont'd)

I tightened up last night, but I didn't find this

badge in the bottom of a Cracker Jack box. I

earned it.

CHEN:

You study Chinese so you know what it means that I

saved your life?

WALLACE:

It means my life is yours, to do with as you wish

CHEN:

That's right. So here's my advice. Quit. Before you

end up dead.

They drive past a crumbling building where a TRIAD

SOLDIER openly does a healthy drug trade.

WALLACE:

I know the risks.

CHEN:

So did the cops I didn't save last night. And all it

got them was dead. This isn't fun and games.

Especially for a kid heading to Law School

with his head up his ass if he thinks this is the way

to raise tuition.

Wallace's a bit surprised Chen knows this.

WALLACE:

Just cause I'm not putting in twenty doesn't mean I

can't do the job.

CHEN:

Yes it does.

WALLACE:

You don't want to work with me, fine. Let me do

my own investigations. But don't try and keep me

from my work. Cause like it or not, I'm a cop.

CHEN:

You're playing cop and that's gonna get one of us

killed.

WALLACE:

Playin'? Who's playin'? Playin's driving by sh*t and

pretending you didn't see it.

Chen turns to Wallace.

CHEN:

You got something to say, say it.

WALLACE:

How 'bout I show you?

Wallace slams on the brakes, sending the take-out

flying onto the dash. He then drops it in reverse and

floors the gas. The Chevy roars backwards up onto

the sidewalk in front of a crumbling building.
