VICE CAPTAIN<br />
Look who's back from suspension.<br />
We're honored, Sergeant Jack.<br />
The men laugh. Jack sits, flips a magazine. Men and<br />
women. Men and men. Girls and girls. Girls and horses.<br />
JACK<br />
Gee. The Great Jerk-Off Book<br />
Caper of 1953.<br />
VICE CAPTAIN<br />
Vincennes, is there someplace<br />
you'd rather be?<br />
JACK<br />
Yeah, Cap. Back in Narcotics.<br />
VICE CAPTAIN<br />
Oh? Anyplace else?<br />
JACK<br />
Working whores with squad two.<br />
VICE CAPTAIN<br />
Maybe you should have thought of<br />
that before you made Bloody<br />
Christmas page one.<br />
Vice Capt. retrieves the magazines, hands them to Jack.<br />
VICE CAPTAIN<br />
They're yours. Make a major case,<br />
Sergeant. It's the only way<br />
you're getting out of here.<br />
Exaggerated "oohs" and "aahs" from the men.<br />
VICE CAPTAIN<br />
Dismissed, gentlemen.<br />
As they go, Jack sees the books are stamped: "Fleur-de-Lis<br />
Whatever you desire." Jack takes the matching<br />
business card from his wallet, the one he found on<br />
Christmas Eve.<br />
VICE CAPTAIN<br />
Roll, Vincennes. No sidetracks.<br />
This is Ad Vice, not Narco.<br />
INT. HOLLYWOOD STATION - NARCO PEN - DAY<br />
Jack Vincennes is at his desk. Holding the Fleur-de-Lis<br />
card, magazines spread before him, Jack dials the number.
