STOMPANATO<br />

Meeks is probably in Rio or<br />

someplace like that by now.<br />

BUD<br />

He's under a tract house in San<br />

Berdoo. And he don't smell too<br />

good. What happened to the<br />

heroin, Johnny?<br />

STOMPANATO<br />

I don't know. I swear it!<br />

Bud starts to raise a hand. Stompanato cringes, but Bud<br />

just slaps a twenty down on the bar and goes.<br />

INT. BROWN DERBY - PHONE BOOTH - DAY<br />

Jack's on the phone to Exley.<br />

JACK<br />

He's in the Brown Derby with<br />

Johnny Stompanato.<br />

(sees Bud exit)<br />

Check that. I gotta go.<br />

EXT. 1736 NOTTINGHAM (LYNN BRACKEN'S) - DAY<br />

Jack pulls up, sees Bud knock on the front door. It<br />

opens and Bud steps in. Jack doesn't see who opens it.<br />

EXT. BUSHES - 1736 NOTTINGHAM (LYNN BRACKEN'S) - DAY<br />

LEAVES RUSTLE. There's movement in the underbrush. Jack<br />

appears, followed by Exley. Jack pulls a gun as they<br />

near a window.<br />

EXLEY<br />

What's that for?<br />

JACK<br />

Bud White. He sees us and we're<br />

dead.<br />

They press up to the glass for a partial view. Bud White<br />

sits on a footstool massaging a pair of women's feet.<br />

Jack and Exley exchange a long, curious look. This isn't<br />

the Bud White they're used to. A pair of woman's hands<br />

take Bud, the arms covered in glitter and satin.<br />

The woman, Lynn Bracken, leans forward to kiss her<br />

policeman. It may have been a long day, but she's every<br />

inch Veronica Lake. Only the hair's not over her eye.
