The Corruptor Page #7
Chen holds up his glass in a mock toast...The Waitress
brings over a bottle of Cristal and three glasses.
LEE:
I hope to see much of you over the coming weeks.
Lee then disappears into the back as the Waitress
pours.
WALLACE:
(quietly)
He's Triad.
UNG:
That's why it's Cristal and not Asti f***in' Spumanti.
Chen and Ung clink glasses and down some bubbly.
EXT:
BENEVOLENT ASSOCIATION- DAYEstablishing. Tucked between a pair of banks sits the
sand colored building highlighted with artifacts from
ancient Chinese culture.
INT:
BENEVOLENT ASSOCIATION- DAYA small group of Elderly Men sit at game tables
playing Mahjong. Sitting in the rear of such a table,
playing a round is Benny Wong and Henry Lee.
BENNY WONG:
(Cantonese)
It's very dangerous to approach a white cop. We
can't risk exposing our other ties in the
Department.
LEE:
(Cantonese)
That's why we must approach Wallace. He could
compromise Chen at a time when he is our best
weapon against the Fukes. We need him with us
to safeguard Chen's position. Besides, to the NYPD
Chen is Chinese first and a cop second.
WONG:
(Cantonese)
Chen can take care of himself. And he knows
what we need him to know.
LEE:
(Cantonese)
He knows what he hears in the Fifteenth. A white
officer would have ears outside the precinct. We
can let Chen test the waters.
Benny nods his acceptance and continues to Play.
In between lunch and dinner. Lee is emptying the bar
of cash while waiters change the table linen. Chen
CHEN:
What do you want?
LEE:
I like your partner.
Chen looks at Lee who turns from the bar and begins
walking the length of the restaurant towards the
kitchen straightening napkins and silverware as he
goes.
LEE:
CHEN:
He could hurt us more.
LEE:
Afraid of competition?
CHEN:
Afraid of piquing the kid's interest...
LEE:
...in who else is a dirty cop?
LEE:
Uncle Benny feels he might poke his nose in places a
Chinese cop wouldn't.
CHEN:
I can handle him.
LEE:
He also feels he could be an asset against the Fukes
since you don't seem to be doing much.
CHEN:
I'll take care of the Fukes. The kid's a short timer.
Leave him alone.
LEE:
I didn't realize you had such maternal
instincts...Uncle Benny wants you to speak with
him.
CHEN:
No.
Lee and Chen reach the kitchen, where amongst the
chickens, ducks and steaming dumplings, Triad
underlings are moving boxes of tourist trinkets that
fell off of some truck somewhere. Lee reaches into
one and pulls out a fake Rolex.
LEE:
This cost one dollar to make. And some fool will
pay hundreds for it. It's amazing how easy it is for
some people to over estimate worth. Don't
overestimate yours. Talk to him.
Chen, lost in thought, enters the station house when
Wallace comes out of the A.G.U. office.
WALLACE:
There's a homicide on Worth.
8. ANOTHER VICTIM
-----------------
EXT:
REAR ENTRANCE OF A RESTAURANT-DAYUNIFORMS from the Fifteenth have the area around
the dumpster taped off as Wallace and Chen pull up
and cross toward Deng and Ung.
CHEN:
Who's in the bin?
DENG:
The invisible woman. No I.D., no print record, no
nothing.
Wallace looks into the dumpster where a young
female, is tangled with yesterday's shellfish. He
instantly begins dry heaving.
UNG:
I thought you liked Chinese food, Junior?
CHEN:
Leave him alone...Let's go, I need about fifty
coffees.
WALLACE:
We're not gonna investigate this?
CHEN:
We just did.
WALLACE:
What're you talking about?
CHEN:
Tell our partner what we learned.
Ung puts on his Academy Instructor persona.
UNG:
Deceased is an illegal straight off the boat,
probably less than a week cause there's two
bills Chinese under the oysters, by her spleen.
DENG:
She finds her passage over was twice what she
thought. She can't pay and doesn't like working
as a prostitute. So she ends up here. No family,
no friends, no witnesses.
UNG:
No sense wastin taxpayers' money.
Wallace looks painfully at the young woman being
pulled from the bin and stuffed unceremoniously into
a body bag.
WALLACE:
So what? Case closed?
UNG:
He's so young.
Chen looks at Wallace. Remembers when he was that
young.
CHEN:
Take a walk around with Deng. See if anybody
knows anything.
Chen motions for Ung to come with him and the two
cops move off.
Jack and his girlfriend step from the arcade. He kisses
her goodbye and watches her as she heads north up
East Broadway.
He turns and heads south. He moves slowly down the
empty street as someone or something moves up
behind him. Quickly. He feels the presence and turns
as Chen and Ung grab hold of him and pull him into a
deserted alley.
EXT:
ALLEYWAY-DAYJack tries to get away but Ung slams the small boy
into the wall.
UNG:
Easy Jackarroo.
Jack looks at the two men as they close in on him.
UNG:
Detective Chen is now able to I.D. the shooter
who got away from the lamp store.
CHEN:
Unless he can do something for me...I want
Bobby Vu.
A bead of cold sweat tumbles down the back of Jack's
neck.
JACK:
He'll kill me.
UNG:
The alternative to helping us is ten to twenty at
Sing Sing. And that's gotta hurt. Especially for
somebody five foot nothin.
Jack stands with a million things racing through his
mind.
JACK:
No court? No wire?
CHEN:
No promises. Think about it. You've got ten
seconds to make up your mind.
Jack thinks....
JACK:
F*** you.
Jack runs but Ung slams his fist into his face knocking
him cold.
UNG:
Kid's loyal.
Ung kneels and cuffs the unconscious Fukienese
soldier.
