107. Investigator's discarded tissue. The Investigator does not recognize it. DETECTIVE HUGO It's not exactly him. INVESTIGATOR (interest piqued) Where did you get this? The Investigator immediately deposits the tissue into an analyzer. DETECTIVE HUGO (referring to the tissue) But this man does share some common characteristics with your suspect. Not so many but enough. It appears the eyelash has a brother--of a kind. The Investigator realizes the significance and looks guiltily to Hugo. Hugo exits the lab, leaving the Investigator to stare at his own FACE in his analyzing machine. INT. GATTACA - JANITOR'S LOCKER ROOM. NIGHT. CAESAR, the old janitor, enters the locker room. He is about to wearily open his locker when he senses another presence in the room. He turns to find JEROME sitting there on a bench. Although clearly delighted, CAESAR tries to disguise his pleasure. CAESAR So you've finally seen sense and come back to your old job, Vincent. JEROME Not yet, I'm afraid. CAESAR No? What's keeping you? JEROME I guess I'm a slow learner.
108. CAESAR I guess so. (looking up through the small window) Well, while you're up there, maybe you could tidy the place up a bit. JEROME I'll see what I can do. The two men embrace, Caesar breaking off before Jerome. CAESAR And don't go getting everybody lost out there. You'll give us a bad name. You won't have me to keep an eye on you, you know. JEROME (glancing to Caesar's locker) By the way, I left some trash in your locker. CAESAR (happy to oblige) I'll take care of it. Jerome departs. Caesar watches him go and turns back to his locker. He opens it to find a brand new, high-tech telescope sitting inside. The old janitor gets over his surprise and beams broadly -he looks back in Jerome's direction but he has gone. The old janitor cannot help himself and reverently reaches for the telescope's eyepiece. INT. GATTACA - COMPUTER COMPLEX. NIGHT. In the dimly-lit, empty computer complex, JEROME takes a last look around. He sits at his computer, one final time replaying the graphic representation of his path through the cosmos that he is on the eve of taking for real. He notices the key missing from his keyboard. Instantly realizing the significance, he rises from his seat to flee. Vincent-- INVESTIGATOR Jerome is stopped in his tracks by the sound of his given name and the voice that calls it.
