DOUGLAS:

But I didn't. I went straight home.

McBAIN

Didn't talk to him? No, e-mails, no faxes, no even message?

DOUGLAS:

None of the above.

McBAIN

You know, that's funny. We checked Fuller's phone records. He

made a call with his calling card at 11:02p.m.b Your home number.

I'd appreciate it if you didn't leave for a couple of days. And

get that game fixed. It*s missing a spring.

FULLER:

Douglas, it's me. Listen, I've stumbled onto something

incredible. This changed everything. I'm here in some bar on Main

in the system. I gave it to.. How did you find me?

INT. THE 13TH FLOOR

WHITNEY:

What's going on?

DOUGLAS:

I'm trying to get into Fuller's files.

WHITNEY:

For what?

DOUGLAS:

He left a message for me the night he died. He knew someone

wanted to kill him.

WHITNEY:

Did you tell the police?

DOUGLAS:

No.

WHITNEY:

Why not?

DOUGLAS:

He also said he left a message for me.

WHITNEY:

Douglas, please. This is my stuff, okay?

DOUGLAS:

So these are the units that Fuller interacted with when he was

down there. Maybe he wanted me to go in.

WHITNEY:

If you're thinking what I think you're thinking. Don't even

think about it.

DOUGLAS:

I need your help.

WHITNEY:

No, no, no. I won't help you. You're taking a serious risk.

DOUGLAS:

I have to get in.

WHITNEY:

you could die.

DOUGLAS:

The police think I killed him. They may be right.

WHITNEY:

What are you talking about?

DOUGLAS:

Everything points to me. To be perfectly honest, I don't know

the truth is anymore. Either I did murder Fuller and I can' t

remember, or I'm being framed. The one clue I have is in that

machine. I need your help if I'm going to find it.

WHITNEY:

I'll set it for an hour.

DOUGLAS:

Set the timer for 120 minutes.

WHITNEY:

Set for 60 is better.

DOUGLAS:

120 minutes, Whit.

WHITNEY:

60 is safer. I'm setting it at 60.

I'm terribly sorry, ma'am. Someone will be right with you.

CLARK:

John? Cigarette?

DOUGLAS:

No, thanks. Don't smoke.
