88 Minutes: Difference between revisions

Gramm receives another phone threat while teaching and becomes suspicious of his students, particularly Mike Stempt ([[Benjamin McKenzie]]). The Dean of Students, Carol Johnson ([[Deborah Kara Unger]]), interrupts the class to report a bomb threat. Evacuating, Gramm finds threats written both on the classroom's overhead projector and on his car, which has been vandalized in the parking garage. Gramm is then met by his teaching assistant, Kim Cummings ([[Alicia Witt]]), who offers to help find the perpetrator. In the stairwell, Gramm encounters one of his students, Lauren Douglas ([[Leelee Sobieski]]), attacked by an unknown assailant and reports the assault to campus security.

 

Renting a cab, Gramm explains to Kim that his sister was killed decades earlier, when he left her alone in his apartment; the crime took exactly 88 minutes. Next, Gramm and Kim visit Sara Pollard ([[Leah Cairns]]), a woman Gramm slept with the night before, but find her murdered in her apartment with evidence incriminating Gramm. Carol calls Gramm and makes comments suggesting that she is the killer, demanding that Gramm meet her at his office. Shelly arrives at Sara's apartment and advises Gramm that she suspects Lauren was the one who stole the audio tape of Kate's death. Kim disappears from the apartment and later calls Gramm with a threat similar to Carol's, also demanding he meet her at the office.
