JENNY - IN JEFF'S ARMS

The MUZZLE FLASH of the gun firing --

An inch in front of her eyes...

THUG:

Killed instantly

JENNY & JEFF

Jenny SCREAMING...

Thrashing around, violently, blindly --

Blood pouring from her eyes.

Jeff tries to hold her down --

She struggles away from him --

Never stops SCREAMING.

Jeff holds her down, bandages her eyes with his silk scarf.

She SCREAMS, SCREAMS, SCREAMS again...

He holds on to her -- then lets go -- moves off --

Face contorted in grief.

DISSOLVE.

INT. PO LIN MONASTERY - LANTAU ISLAND - NIGHT

The face of the Buddha fills the screen...

Serene, immutable.

Jeffs SCREAM echoes o.s.

JEFF:

Stripped to the waist.

Lying on his stomach --

He SCREAMS AGAIN in agony...

TEMPLE:

Behind Jeff, Sidney works with a forceps --

Pulling a slug out of his back.

Clunk.

Drops the pellet in a bowl held by a GRAY-ROBED NUN with a shaved head.

It isn't the only slug in the bowl.

SIDNEY:

They took her to the Royal Hong Kong. Straight to

Emergency. I know a woman who works there. We

can find out how she's doing.

JEFF:

You've already talked to her?
