Baer eyes the corpses on the dock, burned beyond recognition.
COP:
Looking for anyone in particular?
Baer looks at the cop for the first time, unamused.
BAER:
f don't want any of the bodies taken away
until I've had a chance to go over this,
understood?
COP:
I have to clear the scene. I've got word
direct from the Chief
Baer lights a cigarette, only half listening.
BAER:
(Unimpressed)
Yes, the chief. Spooky stuff. Any
survivors?
COP:
Two. There's a guy in county hospital,
but he's in a coma. The D.A. has the
other guy - A cripple - from New York I
think. Listen, the Chief said -
BAER:
Excuse me.
Baer walks away from the cop, ignoring him completely. He
wanders through the carnage on the pier.

20 MT. OCEAN
20
A half mile out from the pier.
The sea is choppy, stirred by the wind. An object floats into
view a few feet away, bobbing in the water.
It is A DEAD BODY - a man, face down, wearing a CHECKERED
BATHROBE. He drifts quietly toward the open ocean.
21 INT. HEARING ROOM - DAY - LOS ANGELES PRESENT 2:
Verbal Kint sits in a chair in front of a microphone attached
to a tape recorder, his brow beaded with sweat.
On the wall behind him is the seal of the STATE OF CALIFORNIA
He is cleaner, better kept, in a well-cut suit and neatly
trimmed hair. He looks older than he did in New York - worn
down.
A flurry of voices banter off screen. Verbal's eyes follow
the voices back and forth.
VOICE #1 (O.S.)
My client offers his full cooperation in
these proceedings. In exchange, his
testimony is to be sealed and all matters
incriminating to himself are to be
rendered inadmissible.
VOICE #2 (O.S.)
The district attorney's office will
comply provided -
VOICE #1
No provisions, nothing. My clients
testimony for his immunity.
VOICE #2
May-I be frank, Counselor? I suspect your
political power as much as I respect it.
I don't know why Mr. Kint has so many
faceless allies in City Hall, and I don't
care. The embarrassment he helped cause
the city of New York will not happen
here.
VOICE #1
Immunity.
YELLOW 06/11/94
22A.
VOICE #2
Counselor, I will prosecute your client.
VOICE #1
Then prosecute. I will be very impressed
to see if the District Attorney manages
to bring in twenty-seven simultaneous
counts of murder against one man with
cerebral palsy. I would think a man with
your job would agree with these alleged
"faceless people in City Hall" you
mention.
VOICE #2 1
One would think the counsel is veiling a
threat.
VOICE #1 +
Counsel isn't veiling anything.
VOICE #2
I'11 take my chances then. I'11 feel
safer without a job if a man like Mr.
Kint is behind bars.
VOICE #1
Mr. Kint will plead guilty to weapons
possession.
VOICE #2
You're joking.
VOICE #1
Weapons. Misdemeanor one.
VOICE #2
Counselor, you're insulting me.
VOICE #1
Counselor, you're bluffing. Shall I push
for misdemeanor two?
Voices mumble off screen. Verbal fidgets in his chair.
VOICE #2 +
Misdemeanor one. Fine. This is
ludicrous.
A tiny smile and a genuine look of disbelief flash across
Verbal's face.
YELLOW 6/11/94
22B.
VOICE #2 (CONT'D)
(Clearing throat)
As for the rest of the charges grand
larceny, arson... murder - the district
attorney will accept the subject's
testimony in connection with the above
mentioned events and in exchange will
offer complete immunity. The
transcript... The transcript of said
testimony will be sealed and all matters
incriminating to Mr. Kint will be
rendered inadmissible.
Verbal lets out a long-held sigh of relief.
22 INT. POLICE STATION - HALLWAY - DAY
22
David Kujan is walking quickly beside SERGEANT RABIN, a dark
and weathered looking man in his late thirties. They move up
a staircase into the heart of police headquarters.
KUJAN:
What do you mean I can't see him?
RAB IN:
The D.A. came down here last night ready
to arraign before they even moved him to
county. Kint's lawyer comes in and five
minutes later, the D.A. comes out looking
like he'd been b*tch-slapped by the
boogey man. They took his statement and
cut him a deal.
KUJAN:
Did they charge him with anything?
RAB IN:
Weapons. Misdemeanor two.
