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.
