INT:
AGU OFFICES - DAY

Wallace is tacking a photo layout of the Hip Sing Triad to the wall

as Chen re-enters.

UNG:

Junior brought a scorecard.

Chen takes out a thick magic marker, starts crossing out photos.

CHEN:

Dead, dead in prison. The rest usually stop by for a visit.

It's not healthy to let them know what we know....Why does a

white cop request Asian Gangs?

WALLACE:

Detective Shield, an extra eight grand a year in my

pocket...and a chance to work with you.

UNG:

Uh oh. Yellow fever. You got a hard on for all things Chinese,

right? The food, customs, women. You got a Chinese girlfriend,

don't ya?

WALLACE:

Actually, uh....no.

CHEN:

But ya did?

WALLACE:

Are we all gonna exchange sexual histories?

UNG:

I knew it. Yellow f***in fever. Junior's here to walk the

street and get his wick licked by a nice almond-eyed beauty.

WALLACE:

I'm here so Chinese immigrants don't have to live thirty to a

room. Or spend twenty hours a day making clothes for slave

wages.

CHEN:

Why do you give sh*t about Chinese immigrants?

WALLACE:

I'm a cop. I give a sh*t about enforcing the law.

DENG:

So what's your plan to save the yellow people?

WALLACE:

Same techniques used on every other organized crime operation

in the city. Bust the street soldiers every time we see 'em,

move up the food chain to the Council, cramp 'em with

surveillance, sting operations, keep climbing all the way to

Uncle Benny.

Chen laughs at Wallace's naivete.

UNG:

This ain't every other organized crime operation in the city.

We work cases, Junior. Keep the tourists safe. Violence spills

into the street, we break heads. `Cept Detective Deng, she's

above that.

DENG:

When the department authorizes police brutality perhaps I'll

join you.

CHEN:

You don't change Chinatown, it changes you.

WALLACE:

I'm ready to give it a shot.

Chen eyeballs the cocky kid.

CHEN:

Alright...Don't make plans tonight.

WALLACE:

Why?

UNG:

Cause we're goin on a panty raid.

EXT:
FIFTEENTH PRECINCT - DAY

Chen, in last night's clothes, climbs the steps of the

yellowed brick building and steps inside.
