The Killer Page #46

4/6/92 D. Ci .. V, .!!. 78.

EXT. TAU TSEUN STREET - DAY

On the perimeter of the walled City.

Rows of dilapidated buildings.

Shops, illegal dentists..

Between buildings are dark stairways leading downward --

Jenny's car appears

Chang's car follows

CHANG V.O.

Sh*t. We've got a problem.

LEE V.O.

What is this place?

CHANG V.O.

The Walled City. This is where she's going. Sh*t.

INT. CHANG'S CAR

LEE:

What's the matter?

CHANG:

This place belongs to China, not Hong Kong. We

have no jurisdiction in there.

LEE:

What do you mean 'we'?

CHANG:

No way -- You don't want to go in there -- It's free

zone for every thief, killer, drug addict in the Colony.

And there's no law.

EXT. ALLEYWAY - WALLED CITY - DAY

A narrow passage.

Stairs leading down into gloom.

Sidney and six thugs stand in front.

Jenny s car arrives.

Sidney helps her out..

They disappear down into the darkness...

CHANG & LEE

Get out of their car.

Approach the alley.

Lee starts down the stairs

CHANG:

That's it.. We don't go any further.

4/6/92 D.G. W.H. 79.

LEE:

Bullshit. We'll lose her. I'm going in. Jurisdiction

doesn't mean sh*t to me. I haven't got any anyway.

CHANG:

She's lost. If you don't know your way around in

there, you'll never get out. It's a rabbit warren in

there. With very ugly rabbits.

LEE:

I'll take my chances.

Lee has started down the stairs, Chang follows...

CHANG:

Listen to me. If we go down in there we won't live

half an hour. I'm not kidding. It's open season on

cops in there.

Lee's at the bottom of' the steps.

Narrow byways lead in several directions.

Like an obstacle course in a Fun House.

Stoned out junkies.

Serious looking hard guys.

No trace of Jenny or Sidney.

Lee begins to see Chang's point.

CHANG:

There''s no place they can go. All we have to do is

wait them out. We have informers inside. They'll

find them.

LEE:

When they do I'm going in. With or without you. I

lived through the South Bronx, I can live through

this.

They start back to the car.

EXT. ALLEYWAY - WALLED CITY - DAY

Dark, narrow, filthy. stone streets.

Houses made of stone,

Thugs in front of Sidney and Jenny lead them through the maze.

Thugs behind them.

Protection.

Human dregs littered everywhere.

A door opens.

Jeff takes Jenny in his arms.

As the door closes behind them --
