Hanging from a ceiling light, Patchett's body slowly<br />

twists around, a toppled chair beneath him.<br />

EXLEY<br />

I don't think his ex-cop did him<br />

much good.<br />

Bud goes to the body while Exley heads for a side table<br />

on which rests a typed sheet of paper.<br />

Bud checks Patchett's right hand, the knuckles are split,<br />

two of the fingers badly distended.<br />

EXLEY<br />

It's a suicide note. Says he<br />

killed Jack because Jack had<br />

figured out a pornography scam<br />

Patchett was running.<br />

BUD<br />

He had help getting up there. Two<br />

of his fingers are broken.<br />

EXLEY<br />

We had one thing figured wrong. I<br />

don't think Dudley workd for<br />

Patchett.<br />

BUD<br />

At least not anymore.<br />

EXLEY<br />

Patchett's dead. He sent you<br />

after me. I'd say Dudley's tying<br />

up his loose ends.<br />

LYNN.<br />

BUD<br />

(it hits him)<br />

Bud dashes to the PHONE, dials. It RINGS. No one<br />

answers.<br />

EXLEY<br />

I got a guy who owes me in the<br />

Sheriff's department. West<br />

Hollywood station. He can be at<br />

her house in two minutes.<br />

Bud shoves the phone into his hand.<br />

Call him.<br />

BUD
