M.J. PULLS THE LINE THAT DOLLIES THE TARGET BACK TO THEM,
AND RUBEN REPLACES IT WITH ANOTHER AS THEY TALK.
M.J.
I'd feel a whole lot safer with
Sister Loretta for my backup. Look
at this guy:
you shredded him!RUBEN:
Well, he's dead, he can't hurt me
now.
The target is rigged; they pull the line that dollies it back
to shooting position.
M.J.
It's sloppy shooting. It's in
character, Ruben, but unnecessary.
And bad for your career.
RUBEN LETS OFF THREE QUICK SHOTS: they cluster nearer the
circle. M.J. looks at him in surprise.
RUBEN:
I've been practicing. Now can I
kiss your tummy?
M.J. hides her smile as she prepares her weapon for her turn.
M.J.
Perp's holding a hostage, the
shoulder on his gun hand is gonna
be exposed.
SOUND:
A CELLULAR PHONE (ON RUBENS' BELT). M.J. holds herfire.
M.J.
Answer it.
RUBEN:
I'm sure she thinks it is. Aren't
you at least interested in which
one it is?
She's lost her concentration lowered the gun; now as he
answers, she raises her gun and aims...
RUBEN:
(into phone)
I'm here, where are you?...
Heeeeyyy! What a surprise! No. On
duty, have to call you back... You,
too, you too. My God, you made my
day.
He hits the "end" button...
M.J.
You hit the brachial nerve...
SHE FIRES! The shots make a perfect heart around the circle,
inside his looser pattern. ONE FINAL SHOT STRIKES EXACTLY
IN THE MIDDLE!
M.J.
You're good enough you'll never
have to kill anyone. I joined the
cops to save lives, not waste them.
RUBEN:
You know, M.J., when I watch you
shoot, I realize I've got a little
problem with my stance... could you
just move over here and critique my
legs?
He slaps his thigh where he indicates the trouble might be.
She is unloading her weapon...
M.J.
The problem is between your legs.
You told your shrink about that?
She is unloading and cleaning up. Ruben doing the same...
RUBEN:
Sergeant. I tell him you're the
top cop of my dreams.
Ruben has been gathering up his box of doughnuts, from which
he has nibbled during the preceding... he drops them, picks
one up off the floor and sticks it in his mouth...
M.J.
(putting away her
gear)
Don't take that mess in the car.
They're on the move; as they go away from us...
RUBEN:
He's in love with you already...
CUT TO:
They pull up in front of an apartment building in the
Pacific Heights section. Patrol cars flank the street, the
thick yellow ticker tape "POLICE CRIME SCENE DO NOT CROSS"
is already up. M.J. double parks beside a blue-and-white.
A couple of cars from the media are already there. SUSAN
