SECOND FLOOR CORRIDOR

Vanzant and Algren move down the hallwayStop at the far end.

Both Detectives draw their pistols and approach a door.

ROOM:

Summer dress and undergarments scatteredon the floor. LISA,

lies naked under the covers.

She matches Ganz's earlier requirements.Smoking a cigarette,

staring at the ceiling. Ganz remains on top of the blanket.

Still in his shirt and pants watching TV. Three sharp knocks

at the door. Ganz reacts as if he's received an electric

shock. His hand goes under the pillow... Comes up with an

automatic. Shoves it hard into Lisa's stomach.

LISA:

Hey...

GANZ:

Shut up.

LISA:

What the hell's wrong? I didn't

do anything.

Another knock. Ganz makes her move to the door.

LISA:

(continuing)

What do you want? What's goin' on?

GANZ:

Shut up.

She grabs her dress and tries to pull it on.

GANZ:

(continuing)

Now ask who it is.

Shoves harder with the pistol.

GANZ:

(continuing)

Come on, ask.

She calls out.

LISA:

Who is it?

CORRIDOR:

Vanzant and Algren stand back from the door. Guns held ready.

ALGREN:

Police... open up.

R00M

Lisa looks from the door back to Ganz. Then at the gun held

against her. She's petrified.

GANZ:

Stall.

LISA:

What do you want?

VANZANT:

Police business. Come on, open up.

A smile on Ganz' face. Almost as if he's enjoying the moment.

GANZ:

Keep stallin'.

LISA:

Alright, I'm coming...hold on.

I'll just be a minute.

CORRIDOR:

Vanzant and Algren waiting. Sounds of movement from within

the room.

LOBBY:

Cates moves toward the foot of the stairwell. Looks across at

mirror on the wall opposite. The entire lobby covered from

this spot. Every angle, including Frizzy.

ROOM:

Ganz gestures to Lisa.

LISA:

Just a second.

Ganz belts her with his gun; she falls..Ganz goes through the

connecting door. Slips into the adjacent room.

BILLY'S ROOM

Another Hooker cowers in the corner, pulling on her clothes.

She's a Mexican girl in a ridiculous 'Indian' outfit.

MEXICAN GIRL:

Que paso? Que esta pasando? No

entiendo...

BILLY:

Shut up.

Billy goes to where Rosalie is awkwardlytied to a chair with

an electric dord. He pulls her to her feet as Ganz moves by.

BILLY:

(continuing)

When I say jump, girl, you better

jump.

BILLY:

(continuing)

CORRIDOR:

Vanzant reaches down, tries the knob. Locked. Algren moves

back, preparing to kick the door down.

ADJACENT ROOM:

Ganz opens the door behind the two cops. Raises his pistol

and fires. Billy's shots follow immediately. Hits Vanzant.

Algren rolls just as Ganz fires again. Wounded, he gets off

three shots, then moves inside Ganz' room. Ganz and Billy run

for the elevator... Exchange two more shots with Algren. The

Mexican Girl begins screaming in Spanish...
