JACK<br />
Twelve years ago he worked a vice<br />
roust with Dick Stensland. They<br />
arrested a Pierce Patchett on an<br />
extortion scam. Guy ran hookers.<br />
He'd have them photographed with<br />
their johns, then double-dip for<br />
some blackmail. Charges got<br />
dropped. Insufficient evidence.<br />
You were supervising officer on<br />
the case and I was wondering if<br />
you remember anything about it.<br />
DUDLEY<br />
What's this all about, lad?<br />
JACK<br />
Part of it has to do with a<br />
murder. I've been working with Ed<br />
Exley on it.<br />
DUDLEY<br />
You're Narco, lad, not Homicide.<br />
And since when do you work with<br />
Edmund?<br />
JACK<br />
It's a private investigation. I<br />
fucked something up and I want to<br />
make amends.<br />
DUDLEY<br />
(smiles, then...)<br />
Don't start trying to do the right<br />
thing, John. You haven't had<br />
enough practice.<br />
Dudley walks over, hands Jack his coffee.<br />
DUDLEY<br />
Have you discussed this with<br />
anyone else, John?<br />
No.<br />
JACK<br />
DUDLEY<br />
Not even with Exley?<br />
Jack shakes his head. Dudley raises a REVOLVER. He<br />
FIRES it at point-blank range, right into Jack's heart.<br />
Jack hits the floor, his cheek pressed flat on the<br />
linoleum.<br />
Jack opens his mouth to speak. His lips form the words,<br />
but no sound <strong>com</strong>es out. Dudley crouches down beside him.
