EXT. ROOF - 31 JENNY'S APARTMENT HOUSE

Lee comes out on the roof --

Laundry lines....

A pigeon coop.

A shed which houses the air conditioning unit.

But no sign of Jeff..

Lee cautiously moves through the hanging laundry...

Takes a quick look in the shed.

Nobody there.

He moves quickly around the corner.

And runs straight into a flock of suddenly loosed hysterical PIGEONS.

Finally free of'"the birds --

He races to the edge of the building --

Leans over --

Pistol ready...

LEE'S POV

A figure on the pipes...

Climbing the side of the building --

LEE:

Freeze!

It's Chang.

CHANG:

Don't shoot. It's me. He's right behind me with his

gun pointed up my ass.

Jeff on the ground, level...

Steps out from behind Chang, into Lee's sightline

Pistol pointed straight up at him.

LEE:

Not much Lee can do.

JEFF - LEE'S POV

Jeff disappears under a parking shelter.

LEE:

Pissed.

INT. JENNY'S APARTMENT - DAY

Chang is on the phone talking in Cantonese.

Lee talks to Jenny.

4/6/92 D.G.. W.H. 69.

LEE:

You know he's the one who shot you. Made you

blind..

JENNY:

You think that changes how I feel about him?

LEE:

He's a professional killer.

JENNY:

So are you.

LEE:

II' I kill somebody it's because I have to and in

defense of the law.

JENNY:

Innocent people don't get hurt in defense of the law?

LEE:

It happens.

Her point is made.

JENNY:

He's like you. He kills bad people too.

LEE:

Well, there are a lot of very bad people looking to kill

him right now. I figure I may be his only ticket out

of here alive. But I need help.

JENNY:

I won't help you put him in prison. I'm sure he'd

rather be dead...If I could get my sight back but it

would mean losing him -- I'd rather be blind...

LEE:

And you think he feels that way about you?

JENNY:

I hope he doesn't. Then he could be far away

from here.

INT. FOYER - MACGREGOR'S OFFICE - NIGHT

Sidney in the outer office.

The large carved doors open --

Surrounded by four cheap suited VIETNAMESE THUGS...
