30.


                       After a while, the bayonet shines like a flash of the setting  sun, and its
                       tip is as sharp as that of a lance.

                       He imagines the bayonet in his bony hand penetrating the heart of the
                       savage Amerasian.


                       29     INT. THE GIRL'S HOME - AFTERNOON


                       It is getting dark. THE MAN looks inside the house and sees  his
                       daughter trying to sleep in her bed. Her face is pale. He  cannot hold
                       back his tears. He whispers to her.


                                                   THE MAN
                                     Don't be sad. I will avenge you.


                       He leaves the home quietly.


                       30     EXT. THE AMERASIAN'S HOME - AFTERNOON


                       THE MAN approaches the Amerasian's house and then stops to
                       observe. The area where the house is located is rather  isolated. The

                       houses are far from each other because they all  have large yards.
                       Along the roads are many small bushes.
                       These could prove very useful when planning an ambush.

                       He stops in front of the house just behind the hibiscus hedge  and
                       listens. He hears nothing but silence, and a woman  coughing now and
                       then. He quietly hides behind a bush and  waits.


                       He doesn't have to wait long. He hears footsteps and then  sees the
                       shadow of a tall, lanky man emerge from the  darkening sky. The
                       shadow is the same as that of the man he  saw when he chased
                       desperately after his daughter's rapist.


                       Seeing the shadow brings back a vivid image of his daughter  writhing in
                       pain on the ground. Hatred flares up in his mind,  giving him
                       superhuman strength as he lunges forward and thrusts his knife at the
                       Amerasian's chest just as he is  approaching a bend in the road.
