JENNY:

You don't have to do anything. Except be good to

rne.

JEFF:

I have to do this. I have a friend. A man. He was

my teacher. He saved my life twice. If I do this for

him, I'm free of him. I won't owe him anything else.

I'll be gone for a couple of days. Then we'll get out

of here. Go live somewhere else.

JENNY:

I've got a passport -- There's nothing here I can't

leave in a minute.

JEFF:

You're sure you don't hate me?

JENNY:

Not now, anyway. I'm too much in love now.

Maybe later.

Lee and Chang looking through files --

Shirt-sleeves...

Ties loosened...

They've been at this for awhile.

LEE:

(holding a dossier)

This looks like my man. 'Killed a local Mr. Big and

six heavies. Walks in a nightclub by himself. A gun

in each pocket. Blows away the target and whoever

else gets in his way and walks out.

CHANG:

I was on that case.

LEE:

You got a whole bunch of eyewitnesses here...Male,

Caucasian, medium height, medium build... That's

the best they could do?

CHANG:

I questioned most of them myself. Mainly gang

types. Nobody saw anything.

LEE:

What about this girl he blinded?

CHANG:

I questioned her. She was in shock. Couldn't

remember what happened.

4/6/92 D.G.. V'.H. 36.

LEE:

Anybody talk to her lately?

CHANG:

What for? She can't go through the mug books -- or

your photo...

LEE:

She can talk. Let's get her in. Put her with an artist

and let her draw us a picture.

Chang doesn't think much of this idea.

LEE:

What else you got to do? I'm telling you this is my

man.

CHANG:

I have lots to do. Especially today. Unlike you. I'm

not on holiday.

LEE:

I thought you were on holiday. Isn't today a holiday?

CHANG:

Well, today... Today is a holiday, but...

LEE:

What holiday is it?
