11 EXT. COURTYARD - NIGHT 11

Easy makes his way through the overgrown patio with roses

and vines cascading down from office windows on the second

floor.

A12 INT. OFFICE - NIGHT A12

Someone is watching Easy as he looks for the right office.

12 EXT. COURTYARD - NIGHT 12

A small white MAN pops out from behind a hedge startling

Easy. He wears a suit that also serves as a uniform.

SECURITY GUARD:

What are you doing here?

EASY:

I'm looking for, uh...

SECURITY GUARD:

We only take deliveries between

nine and six...

EASY:

No, no... I...

Yes, we do!

leave.

SECURITY GUARD:

Now you'd better

He clutches a baton in his hand and swats it into his open

palm.

EASY:

Uh... Albright!

What?

SECURITY GUARD:

EASY:

I'm here to see Mr. Albright.

DeWitt Albright!

SECURITY GUARD:

Where's your delivery?

He holds out his scrawny hand.

EASY:

I have an appointment -- I'm

supposed to meet him.

SECURITY GUARD:

Did he give you a note to come in

here after hours?

Easy only stares, hating this little man.

SECURITY GUARD:

Well, did he? Because if he

didn't--

EASY:

Forget it, man. Next time I see

him I'll just tell him you wouldn't

let me in.

Disgusted, Easy turns to leave.

SECURITY GUARD:

Hold on.

He sizes up Easy and then points across the courtyard.

SECURITY GUARD:

(like an order)

Across that way to the left and

down the stairs...

Easy half nods/half glares and walks away.

13 OMIT 13

At the other side of the garden Easy turns a corner and

heads down concrete steps. At the bottom he opens a door

leading into

14 INT. BASEMENT - CORRIDOR 14

He looks into the boiler room but turns into an empty

corridor stopping at a heavy steel door at the end.

He knocks. After a moment a tall and slight MAN with curly

brown hair and the complexion of an East Indian opens the door.

15 INT. MAINTENANCE ROOM 15

A short and stocky kind of Chinese-looking MAN stands

against the door at the far end. The Tall Man ushers Easy

into the clutter of heavy metal tools, cans of paint and

cleaning solutions. A card table with two chairs sits idly.

The Tall Man closes the door and holds out his hand. Easy

reaches to shake it but the man starts to pat Easy on his

side and Easy pushes him away.
