INVESTIGATOR<br />

(intrigued)<br />

Surely you know what you have.<br />

DIRECTOR JOSEF<br />

We have to be certain. Once<br />

they're up, we can hardly turn the<br />

boat around.<br />

On the treadmill below, Jerome glances to his watch as he<br />

runs, the distress starting to show. Caught up in the<br />

conversation, Lamar has forgotten to end the work-out.<br />

Remembering, he finally presses the "WARM-DOWN" button,<br />

slowing the treadmill.<br />

LAMAR<br />

(still marveling at<br />

Jerome)<br />

I swear if I went to lunch and<br />

came back, he'd still be there.<br />

We focus on Jerome's recording device attached to the bottom<br />

of the control panel. It clicks to a stop, indicating that<br />

the bogus heartbeat recording has ended before the workout.<br />

<strong>The</strong> heartbeat monitor in the observation room suddenly races<br />

from 80 to 250 beats per minute. Lamar catches the<br />

discrepancy out of the corner of his eye but before he can<br />

take a second look, Jerome has whipped his electrode from his<br />

chest. <strong>The</strong> physician shrugs it off as a glitch in the<br />

machine.<br />

<strong>The</strong> Investigator has turned his back on Jerome to face the<br />

Director.<br />

INVESTIGATOR<br />

We believe we have a suspect.<br />

DIRECTOR JOSEF<br />

What a relief.<br />

profile of VINCENT<br />

notepad)<br />

This unaccountable specimen was<br />

found in the south wing corridor.
