The Corruptor Page #2

---

The lack of respect incites the Tall Kid to go for his gun. But

before he can fire a shot, Chen produces a .38 from his sleeve

and puts a bullet through the gangster's head.

Phan drops to the ground as Chen dives over the card table,

grabbing his .45. He hits the floor pulling the table down with

him as a shield for Phan, then himself as Fuke #2 shoots

wildly before being taken out by Chen.

Jack retreats to behind a wall, then slowly crosses through an

archway to confront Chen from behind. As he steps out, he finds

only Phan cowering on the floor. Chen has disappeared. Suddenly

the place explodes in a hail of automatic gunfire as Fuke #1

enters the store and sprays everything in sight, producing a

blizzard of glass. Jack turns to see Chen has re-appeared and

taken up postion behind a counter full of lamps and mirrors while

he takes on both Jack and Fuke #1.

Chen skillfully uses one of the counters as cover as he makes

his way towards the front ofthe store, gets a bead on the Fuke

with the automatic and sends him flying back out the front

door in a hail of glass- pedestrians scattering for their life.

Jack, alone now, cowers behind an opposite counter, desperately

crawling along the floor trying to make his way out of there. He

peeks through an opening to his cover and find Chen nowhere in

sight.

Slowly, painfully hunched over, he backs up towards the

blown-out front door, checks for Chen one more time, then

decides to make a run for it. Suddenly he's got a foot slamming

into the side of his head sending him crashing back to the floor.

Chen has appeared out of nowhere.

Chen drives another kick into his stomach, then yanks him to

his feet.

INT PHAN HO'S LAMPS - NIGHT

CHEN:

English?

(The boy nods)

What do they call you?

YOUNG GANGSTER:

Jack.

CHEN:

Tell Bobby Vu, his time is running out in Chinatown.

He kicks the kid out the door and turns toward the shell-shocked

shopkeeper looking at the shambles of his livelihood.

A teetering lamp topples from a shot up table but Chen catches

it before it hits the floor. He looks over at the owner, crying.

Chen places a fist full of fives from his winnings on the counter.

CHEN:

I'll take this one.
