The Killer Page #36

4/6/92 D.G., W.H. 62.

SIDNEY:

Since the opium days. The Mainland wants the legit

side to stay in Hong Kong until they take over. They

Give him a free hand on the other side. So he killed

Weng and Lim --

Jeff lowers the auto.

Walks away from Sidney...

JEFF:

Get out.

SIDNEY:

You're not going to kill me?

JEFF:

No.

SIDNEY:

Why?

JEFF:

You did what I would have done. You owe them.

SIDNEY:

I owe you. I'll get you your money.

JEFF:

I'm giving you your life in payment for what I owe

you. We re even now. I never want to see you

again.

INT. JEFF'S APARTMENT - VICTORIA PEAK - DAY

FORENSIC COPS sift through the wreckage.

Examine the bodies.

Dust for prints.

Look for shell casings.

Chang is talking to a UNIFORMED COP.

He breaks off and crosses to Lee.

CHANG:

As far as forensics concerned nobody's ever lived in

this apartment except these guys.

Referring to the bodies.

LEE:

It's him.

CHANG:

Your instinct?

4/6/92 D.G., W.H.. 63.

LEE:

That's right.

CHANG:

No prints. No clothes. No personal effects.

LEE:

You show his picture to the neighbors?

CHANG:

Nobody's ever seen him.

LEE:

How is that possible?

CHANG:

Private elevator from the garage. Even the maid's

never seen him. The place is rented to an off shore

company.

LEE:

Has this been dusted?

"Wis" is the stereo system.

CHANG:

Yes. Of course. We are very meticulous.

Lee presses the on button.

There's a tape in the deck.

It's JENNY'S SONG.

Lee looks at Chang.

CHANG:

It's possible.

LEE:

It's him.

Lee sits down in Jeffs chair.

Listens to the SONG.

DISSOLVE.
