                                                   POLICEMAN B
                                     Alright, if necessary, we will
                                     discuss these matters further
                                     later, when we have more time. But
                                     to get back to the matter at hand,
                                     you know well that the rapist is a
                                     black Amerasian, so how can you not
                                     feel full of shame and hate?
                                     Previously, the Americans invaded
                                     our country, committed countless
                                     crimes, and now their remnants
                                     still commit crimes and are
                                     hellbent on destroying our country.
                                     I will tell you this truth: No
                                     matter how much you want to protect
                                     him, I will do my best to bring
                                     this to light and him to justice,
                                     so that he can be punished. I will
                                     never let him get away.

                       37     EXT. A RURAL VILLAGE – EVENING (FLASHBACK)


                       A group of American soldiers are firing indiscriminately at civilians –
                       mostly women and children – during a sweep of the  village. Houses
                       with straw roofs are on fire. Tree branches  are broken. A helicopter

                       circles overhead.

                       After the American soldiers withdraw, Policeman B, in black  guerilla
                       garb, runs into the village. He turns over the dead  bodies to look at their
                       faces. He grasps the body of a girl  and bursts into wailing tears.


                       38     INT. THE GIRL'S HOME - MORNING (CONTINUED)


                       Blood rushes to the man's face.


                                                   THE MAN
                                     There are no wars without crimes,
                                     and both sides in a war commit
                                                   (MORE)
                                     them.
