DOC:

If I can get ahold of your prison

buddy, this Glen Charlock, will he

honor his debt to you?

swore an oath...

No need.

TARIQAnd I can't give you nothin' upfront.

crazy white motherf***er.

DRIVING TO CHANNEL VIEW ESTATES.

SORTILEGE (V.O.)

Long, sad history of L.A. land use-- Mexican families bounced out of

Chavez Ravine to build DodgerStadium, American Indians sweptout of Bunker Hill for the Music

Center and now Tariq'sneighborhood bulldozed aside forChannel View Estates...

CUT TO:

DOC drives down the street, past a bunch of BLACKPEDESTRIANS walking around, looking for their homes...

it’s like driving through lost cattle -DOC

There's a MAKESHIFT MINI MALL erected for the

construction crews. There's a BEER BAR, LIQUOR STORE,

SANDWICH PLACE and a MASSAGE PARLOR called CHICK PLANET

with a row of Harleys precision parked in a row outfront.

Doc parks and musters some courage, passes over the

Harleys -- bathes himself in a white glow -- and enters

the massage parlor...

9 INT. CHICK PLANET MASSAGE PARLOR - DAY 9

Doc steps in... it's quiet and very dark. A sexy young

Asian girl in a bikini: JADE (20s).

JADE:

today's P*ssy Eater's Special

which is good all day till closing

time?

DOC:

Mmmm... how much is it?

JADE:

$14.95.

DOC:

Errr, not that $14.95 ain't a

totally groovy price, but I'm

really trying to locate this guy

who works for Mr. Wolfmann?

JADE:

Does he eat p*ssy?

DOC:

Fella named Glen Charlock?

JADE:

Oh, sure. Glen comes in here. He

eats p*ssy. You got a cigarette

for me?

He taps her out a smoke.

JADE:

Ohhhh. Lock up style. Not much

eating p*ssy in there, huh?

DOC:

Glen and I were both in Chino

around the same time... have you

seen him today?

JADE:

If you're a cop, you're entitled

to a free preview of our P*ssy

Eater's Special.

DOC:

How about a licensed P.I.?

JADE:

Hey, Bambi?

BAMBI comes out, wearing day-glo bikini. Jade reaches

into Bambi's bikini bottom and before you know it -- Theydisappear below the reception desk. Doc watches... in a

flash reflected behind him we see a BALD HEAD, SWASTIKATATTOO AND THEN SOMETHING COMES DOWN ON DOC'S HEAD -- AND

HE'S OUT.

TEARING OFF...
