ROGERS:

I didn't mean a word of it. I think you're a f***ing

menace to public safety --

LEE:

Come on. You love me.

ROGERS:

I want you to get your business done and get the hell

out of Hong Kong before there's any more carnage.

LEE:

Help me find my man and I'm outta here.

ROGERS:

Sergeant Chang you are to assist Mr. Lee in any way

you can that does not involve the slaughter of

innocent civilians.

INT. PALE FLOWER NIGHTCLUB - WANCHAI - NIGHT

Jenny at the piano bar singing.

Jeff comes through the entrance.

Walks to a table.

Passes Jenny.

She seems to sense his presence.

He takes a seat at the piano bar.

Close to her.

She's aware of him.

Knows it's him.

She sings to him.

The song finishes.

A moment...

Wen:

JEFF:

How did you know it was me?

JENNY:

I don't know. I just knew. Maybe now that I've lost

my sight, my other senses are getting stronger. I've

heard that's supposed to happen.

JEFF:

They do that in martial arts training. Blindfold you

and make you use your other senses...I saw a lot of

Kung Fu movies when I was a kid.

EXT. CITY STREET - WANCHAI - NIGHT

Jeff and Jenny walk through the crowded NEON wilderness.--

JEFF:

Last night you asked me if I felt sorry for you...I do.

I feel terrible about what happened to you.

She stops, looks at him

JEFF:

You've already had enough sympathy. I know. You

said that too.

JENNY:

Now I'm sorry about the way I talked last night.

JEFF:

Are you going to apologize for feeling sorry for

yourself!

JENNY:

I was. Stupid, huh?

JEFF:

Do you want to get back at the one who did it to you?

JENNY:

I'd like to make him blind...

A moment.

JENNY:

I think he feels guilty. He tried to help me. After it

happened...He didn't do it on purpose.

JEFF:

Then, you forgive him?

JENNY:

No. I don't forgive him...I don't really want to talk

about this anymore.

She starts to pull away -- he takes her arm, holds her in place...

JEFF:

I'm the one. I'm the one who did it. I shot you.

JENNY:

Why do you tell me this? Why did you come back?

JEFF:

I came back because I felt guilty. I'm telling you

because I want you. I want to be with you.
