The Killer Page #7

4/6/92 D.G., W.H. 12.

LEE:

This particular citizen was a politician. Corrupt,

Mafia connected, a drug trafficker, but a politician.

So the Bureau does not want to appear unenthusiastic

in the pursuit of his killer.

ROGERS:

You'll pardon my own lack of enthusiasm.

LEE:

We also believe he is a contract killer with at least

twenty-five notches on his gun.

ROGERS:

(perfunctory)

Not a bad number. You'll find killers for hire are

rather common in Hong Kong...Of course we'll help

you in any way we can.

LEE:

I'll try not to be a burden.

ROGERS:

Please remember you have neither authority nor

jurisdiction here, which means if you do find him,

you will inform us and we will decide what action, if

any, is to be taken. You are not to apprehend him in

any way yourself. Do you understand me?

LEE:

Perfectly.

ROGERS:

And I'll have your gun.

LEE:

I don't carry it on social occasions.

ROGERS:

You will not carry a gun on any occasion in the

Colony.

LEE:

I wouldn't dream of it.

This actually gets a smile from Rogers.

ROGERS:

As you're here, there is something you could do for

us. If you'd like..?

LEE:

(smiles)

I hope ii doesn't involve carrying a gun.

Rogers is already speaking into intercom.
