88 Minutes Page #3

Synopsis: In Seattle, the successful forensic psychiatrist and college professor Jack Gramm is in evidence since he was responsible for the condemnation of the serial killer Jon Forster, influencing the jury to sentence him to the death row. Jon accuses Jack of manipulation, inducing one witness and sister of one of his victims to testify against him. On the eve of Jon's execution, Jack receives a phone call telling him that he has only eighty-eight minutes of life, while a killer is copycatting Jon, killing women with the same "modus-operandi" and is investigated by Seattle Slayer Task Force. With the support of associate Shelly Barnes, an FBI agent, his friend Frank Parks, and his assistant Kim Cummings, Jack investigates some weird and problematic students, a security guard of the campus and the woman with whom he had one night stand.

I repeat.

We must evacuate the building.

Jack? What are you doing?

Get going.

All students, faculty and staff

must evacuate the building.

What was that on the screen?

Some student playing a joke

or something.

You of all people know that it breaks

school laws to proceed by a threat...

you need to report this

to the campus security immediately.

Carol. I get threat like this,

three or four times a year.

Your incredible arrogance

will slap the sh*t of you, Jack.

I wish you'd disclosure

your true feelings about me...

before we became

such good friends.

Maybe you should stop hiding behind

your assessments about other people...

and start assessing yourself...

cause you need to get over your past

and go on with your life...

cause what you're living

isn't one.

It is not what you tell

your patients?

- Gum?

- Thank you.

I'll call campus security and let

them know you're on your way.

Where did you go last night?

When you left the bar.

Home.

Were you alone?

Screw you.

Roger.

We're on it.

Yeah.

The press got a hold of Dale's name.

It's all over the news.

Yeah, I know that.

And Forster's attorney is going

to the court and try a stay.

A stay?

On what grounds?

They're claiming that these...

murders prove that the real killer

have never been brought to justice.

Nonsense. They're just trying

to buy time. They're desperate.

They're also claiming that you falsify

testimony and concealed evidences.

Well, it's all loose.

Goddamn it.

Who is that guy?

What about Dale Morris?

Did we find anymore of her?

She was murdered

in her apartment...

between the hours of two

and six am.

- Any sign of force entry?

- No.

Does Forster still have that group

visiting him on prison?

He's like a goddamn rock star.

Website and all.

I want you to pull a background check

on all my students...

and get back to me.

Damn.

Oh, no.

Okay.

Kim?

What are you doing here?

I'm getting my car,

it's parked here...

like it's every day

I come to the campus.

That was really horrible.

Just horrible what you did in class...

- it's was little low for you.

- I was looking for potential suspects.

That's what I was doing. What did you do

after you left the party last night?

I didn't end up drunk in bed

with an strange like you.

You left the party with Dale Morris,

the girl that was murdered, didn't you?

- Yes, I did.

- So what did you do? Where did you go?

You're not seriously

considering...

Where did you go?

We went to the Hickory Stick.

We had a drink, two drinks.

- And then?

- And then I went home alone.

- You have anyone that can verify that?

- No. No-one can verify it.

Come on. I've been your

teaching assistant for two years.

I'm your friend.

I'm here to help you, if you let me.

Follow me.

Follow me.

Who did that?

What does that mean?

According to a anonymous

phone call...

that means I have

Can I borrow your cell phone?

I've broke mine.

These are my car keys.

Can you take that around front

and meet me there in ten minutes?

- I have to go to the campus security.

- Okay.

Call me on my Blackberry

if you run late.

Okay.

Shelley. You gonna have to reach me

on Kim's cell phone.

What happened to yours?

- I broke it.

- What?

You have her number, don't you?

Yeah, I do.

Listen, just forward all the calls,

okay, to Kim's cell.

Please, thanks.

Dr. Gramm.

Hey, Mike.

Everyone is pretty upset

about Dale.

Yeah, well, that's understandable.

Considering the circumstances.

I have a question about

John Forster.

Yeah? What?

Well, I've been going through the trial

transcripts in Kate's history...

Why would you do that?

To understand your process better.

How you come to your conclusions.

And?

What?

Is it possible that Forster

is innocent?

No.

You won't even consider

the possibility?

No.

You're completely convinced the scenario

you put together is the only one?

First of all,

I didn't put together a scenario.

I recreated the crime scene.

Second...

I didn't convict Forster.

A jury did.

But the evidence

was circumstantial.

No DNA, no murder weapon.

Nothing directly linking Forster

to the crime, except your narrative...

- and Janie Kay's testimony.

- What's your point?

Just that your testimony

was very convincing.

That's my job.

To be convincing.

I thought it was to be right.

Help!

Somebody, please!

Help!

Help!

- Lauren.

- Dr. Gramm.

What happened to you?

He's wearing a leather jacket.

He's out there.

I bit his hand, it's bleeding.

If his hand is bloody, you can get him.

- You're okay?

- Go get him now! I'm fine!

- Watch my car!

- It's a police action!

There's been an assault.

- I wanna see your hands.

- Back off!

- Roll the window down.

- No!

I'm a forensic psychiatric

with the FBI. Here.

Okay?

Open the window now.

- Yeah.

- See? Well, roll down the window...

and let me see your hands.

Let me see your hands.

If you have nothing to hide,

you can show me.

Look, I'm trying to go home.

What?

Okay, sorry.

Excuse me.

There's been an assault.

I wanna see your hand.

Okay. Be cool now!

There's been an assault.

I gotta check your hands.

I'm a forensic psychiatric

with the FBI.

Sorry.

I couldn't find him.

Here.

This is stupid.

I'm so stupid.

- How I could be so weak? Such a wimp.

- It's not your fault. Come on.

I can't believe I let him get away

like that. I should've fought back more.

Stop beating yourself up?

What exactly happened?

He came from behind. He put this rag

over my mouth and I bit his hand.

- The rag had an odor?

- Something sweet...

It's Halothane, right?

- Yeah.

- He's the one.

Probably.

I let Dale's murderer get away.

Stop beating yourself up

and tell me something.

Tell me something. Could you

identify him if you saw him again?

He came from behind,

I didn't see him.

Let's go to the campus security,

you'll tell the everything.

Hello.

This woman has just been attacked.

Are you okay?

I think so.

What's your name?

Lauren Douglas.

And who are you?

Jack Gramm.

The famous Dr. Jack Gramm?

Then Johnson Fonsen

have you be coming in.

Is there someone to interview

Miss Douglas now, please?

- Jimmy?

- Yeah.

- You wanna check out this girl?

- Wait a minute.

Right this way.

What's going on here?

The person who attacked her

may still be on the campus.

What the hell you guys doing?

We got all these guys out

on the bomb squad.

Excuse me for one moment.

It's a little crazy around here.

Jimmy, get off the phone

and interview Miss. Douglas, please.

I'll be right there.

Why won't you seat here?

Okay, you okay?

- Jack Gramm Associates.

- Shelley? Get Frank...

- and pass him through when you get him.

- Okay.

Okay, thank you.

I don't want you going back to your

apartment until the locks are changed.

I don't have anywhere else to go.

After you talk

to the officer here...

go back to my office.

Shelley will find a place to stay.

Okay.

- Come on. It's gonna be all right.

- Sorry for all the troubles I caused.
