INVESTIGATOR<br />

(regarding Hugo with<br />

a condescending<br />

smile)<br />

<strong>The</strong>y said the same thing about<br />

myopia and obesity. You think<br />

your children would be less human<br />

if they were less violent, angry,<br />

spiteful? Maybe they'd be more<br />

human. From where I sit the world<br />

could stand a little improving.<br />

We dwell on one DETECTIVE in particular, snatching a garbage<br />

bag from CAESAR, the janitor.<br />

DETECTIVE<br />

Don't touch that. It's evidence.<br />

He puts a pile of discarded paper cups aside for later<br />

testing.<br />

INT. <strong>GATTACA</strong> CORPORATION. LATER THAT MORNING.<br />

In the vast, empty Gattaca complex the INVESTIGATOR inspects<br />

a specimen bag containing Jerome's paper cup with DIRECTOR<br />

JOSEF and DETECTIVE HUGO.<br />

DETECTIVE HUGO<br />

Positive saliva match. <strong>The</strong> cup<br />

was definitely used since the<br />

original sweep.<br />

INVESTIGATOR<br />

So we have two choices. Either<br />

our suspect came back to the<br />

murder scene for a drink of water<br />

and I don't know anybody that<br />

thirsty or...<br />

(looking out over the<br />

empty complex)<br />

...he is here.<br />

(resolute)<br />

We test again. You're right,<br />

Hugo, this was a desperate act.<br />

Someone had a lot to lose that<br />

night--perhaps their place in line.<br />

(to Director Josef)<br />

I'd like the profiles of everyone<br />

with an upcoming mission.
