JACK<br />
Have you a valediction, lad?<br />
Dudley leans low, gives Jack an ear. As he dies...<br />
JACK<br />
Rollo Tomasi...<br />
Dudley frowns in ignorance at the name.<br />
INT. <strong>LA</strong>PD HEADQUARTERS - BRIEFING ROOM - DAY<br />
Nothing mobilizes the police like losing one of their<br />
own. Dudley is at the podium along with Exley. Dozens<br />
of detectives take notes, including Bud White.<br />
DUDLEY<br />
Sergeant Vincennes' body was found<br />
in Echo Park at ten o'clock this<br />
morning. Killed by a single .38<br />
round to the heart. One of our<br />
own, gentlemen. We cannot<br />
tolerate it. Justice must be<br />
swift and merciless. That's all.<br />
As the men move odd, Dudley approaches Exley.<br />
DUDLEY<br />
Edmund, a word with you. We<br />
received a tip this morning. Did<br />
Vincennes ever mention the name<br />
Rollo Tomasi?<br />
Exley tries to look like he's thinking as Jack calls from<br />
the grave. Screaming the name Dudley!<br />
EXLEY<br />
No... Where'd the tip <strong>com</strong>e from?<br />
DUDLEY<br />
Anonymous. Probably nothing.<br />
As Dudley moves off, Exley watches him go. Scared.<br />
INT. <strong>LA</strong>PD HEADQUARTERS - BUD WHITE'S DESK - DAY<br />
Bud looks over as Dudley sits down across from him.<br />
DUDLEY<br />
You're perplexing to me these<br />
days, Wendell. You're not your<br />
old, cruel self anymore. I need<br />
proof that the extracurricular<br />
work I had planned for you remains<br />
within your grasp.
