BUD<br />

There are no rules! Why the fuck<br />

are you doing this? The Nite Owl<br />

made you. You want to tear all<br />

that down.<br />

EXLEY<br />

With a wrecking ball. You want to<br />

help me swing it?<br />

Bud smiles. For a second he likes Exley.<br />

EXLEY<br />

Let's go see Pierce Patchett. Run<br />

a good-cop-bad-cop.<br />

BUD<br />

Which one are you and which one am<br />

I?<br />

EXT. 1184 GRETNA GREEN (PIERCE PATCHETT'S) - DAY<br />

Exley and Bud make their way up the walk. Bud pulls his<br />

.38 from its shoulder holster, shoves it in his<br />

waistband.<br />

FRONT DOOR<br />

EXLEY<br />

You expecting problems?<br />

BUD<br />

Patchett uses a lot of ex-cop<br />

muscle.<br />

Exley RINGS the BUZZER. Looking back, Bud sees a<br />

pitching wedge and pile of golf balls abandoned in the<br />

grass. A single ball floats in the koi pond. Bud's eyes<br />

narrow at the sight. Not like Patchett at all.<br />

Come on.<br />

BUD<br />

And Bud shoulders the heavy door right off its hinges.<br />

INT. 1184 GRETNA GREEN - HALLWAY - DAY<br />

Bud draws his .38 as he strides in. Exley tries to keep up.<br />

What?<br />

EXLEY<br />

(a screaming<br />

whisper)<br />

Double doors on the left open into a library. Bud stops<br />

short, slowly lowers his gun. Exley steps up beside him.
