Polite smiles from his colleagues.<br />

MISSION COMMANDER<br />

Enjoy your final evening with your<br />

families. We'll all be a year<br />

older when they see us next. And<br />

don't be late tomorrow. You don't<br />

want to miss this.<br />

We focus on Jerome. He appears to have his head in the<br />

heavens already.<br />

INT. CRIME LAB. NIGHT.<br />

<strong>The</strong> tormented INVESTIGATOR lies on the floor of his lab,<br />

staring at the ceiling. he winces in discomfort. He is<br />

lying on something. He rolls over and retrieves the<br />

irritation from his pocket. It is the "ESC" computer key he<br />

prized from Jerome's keyboard.<br />

He gazes at the key for a moment and then gets to his feet.<br />

He resurrects an old fingerprint kit from a cupboard.<br />

Carefully removing the key from the specimen bag - marked,<br />

"MORROW, Jerome" - he begins to dust it for a fingerprint.<br />

He places the key under a camera. <strong>The</strong> enlarged print appears<br />

on the lefthand side of his computer screen. <strong>The</strong> word<br />

"MATCH" blinks onto the screen. However the face that<br />

appears from the computer's databank is not that of "MORROW,<br />

Jerome" but "LUCA, Vincent". <strong>The</strong> Investigator regards the<br />

photograph in disbelief.<br />

DETECTIVE HUGO casually enters the lab, something odd in his<br />

nonchalant demeanor.<br />

INVESTIGATOR<br />

(excited)<br />

Hugo! I've found him!<br />

HUGO<br />

I've found him too.<br />

INVESTIGATOR<br />

(not listening,<br />

referring to his<br />

discovery)<br />

A fingerprint. <strong>The</strong>re's something<br />

to be said for nostalgia.<br />

(realizing what Hugo<br />

has said)<br />

What did you find?
