INT. <strong>GATTACA</strong> - COMPUTER COMPLEX. DAY.<br />

<strong>The</strong> DIRECTOR's corpse is sealed in a plastic body bag and<br />

wheeled away on a gurney. <strong>The</strong> blood and other body matter<br />

from the murder scene is sucked up <strong>by</strong> a portable wet-vac and<br />

the sample bag appropriately labeled.<br />

EXT. <strong>GATTACA</strong> - COURTYARD CAFETERIA. DAY<br />

A chime sounds over the P.A. followed <strong>by</strong> an announcement.<br />

ANNOUNCER (OC)<br />

Thank you for your co-operation.<br />

Please return to your work<br />

stations immediately.<br />

<strong>The</strong> PROGRAMMERS get to their feet en masse and begin filing<br />

into the work room.<br />

EMPLOYEE 3<br />

(sarcastic aside)<br />

What, no counselling?<br />

INT. <strong>GATTACA</strong> COMPUTER COMPLEX - DIRECTOR'S OFFICE. DAY.<br />

A WOMAN ASSISTANT whose keyboard was used in the attack has<br />

to pause as a MAINTENANCE WORKER gives her work station a<br />

final spray to return it to its former pristine condition.<br />

A new keyboard is plugged into her monitor to replace the one<br />

taken as evidence.<br />

INT. <strong>GATTACA</strong> COMPUTER COMPLEX. DAY.<br />

JEROME opens his desk drawer to check his comb, now plucked<br />

completely clean. He carefully places two of Eugene's hairs<br />

to the comb and scatters another bag of fraudulent matter<br />

around his work station.<br />

INT. <strong>GATTACA</strong> - SIMULATOR ROOM. DAY.<br />

In a large, bare room a simulator does a slow dance back and<br />

forth on its hydraulic legs, miming the path of the space<br />

craft Jerome will soon be aboard. <strong>The</strong> simulation ends and<br />

JEROME exits the simulator through a small door. IRENE<br />

hesitantly approaches, carrying a slim electronic tablet.<br />

IRENE<br />

Excuse me, Jerome. I'm sorry to<br />

bother you.<br />

Jerome turns, not displeased <strong>by</strong> the interruption.
