Kristina: You must be clairvoyant, because I was just getting ready to call. I'm at the coffeehouse with Ashley. Alexis: Oh. Well, uh, I've gotta work late tonight, honey, so have Viola pick you up. Kristina: It's okay. I'll have Ashley's sister drop me off. Alexis: Good. All right. So don't wait up for me, okay? 'Cause I don't know what time I'll be home. Kristina: No problem, Mom. See you when I see you. Alexis: Have fun, and please don't stay out too late. Kristina: I won't. Bye, Mom. [Beep] [Sighs] Carly: It's 657 Harbor View Road. It's one car. And I saw it roll. 911 Operator: How many passengers? Carly: I'm not sure. I'm not sure. I'm gonna, um--I have to-- I have to, um--hold on. Oh, my God. It--um--it's--it's--it's one Woman, and she's, um, she's bleeding, and she's stuck in the car upside down. [Breathing hard] Her name is Claudia Zacchara-- I mean Claudia Corinthos, and she's 4 1/2 months pregnant. Michael: Hey. I was going way too fast. I lost control of the car. I don't even know why I did it. I just--I just lost it. Jason: Michael, start at the beginning and tell me exactly what happened. Michael: This guy was tailgating me, and--so I started to go faster, you know, he pulled around and cut right in front of me. I almost hit him. But then he took off, and I was so mad that I just went after him! I just went after him, and-- and all I could think was that I needed to catch him. And by the time I got to the turn, it was too late. I was going too fast. I went over the line, there was this car, and these headlights were coming right at me. I... I think I caused an accident. Carly: Claudia...look, I called an ambulance and they're on their way. Claudia: Carly? Carly: Yeah. It's gonna be here soon, okay? Claudia: Get me out. Carly: It's safer if you wait for the EMTs, and I'll wait here with you, but you can't move, Claudia. Claudia: No. Get me out. Help me save the baby. Jason: All right, let's go over it again, and start at the beginning. Michael: I told you. This guy cut me off and I swerved into the other lane. Jason: Was it on this road, Abbot Field? Michael: I don't know. Jason: Are you sure that the other guy even crashed? Michael: I'm not sure of anything. All I know is that I swerved to avoid the other car and kept driving as fast as I could. I don't even know how I got here. Jason: Okay, okay. When you swerved and almost hit that car, how far over the line did you go? Michael: The other car's headlights were right in front of me, just like for a head-on collision. Did you see the other car run off the road? Michael: I--I don't know! I kept driving. Jason: Okay. Let it go. Just calm--calm down. You can--you can do this. Where were you when you first started tonight, when you first got into the car? Michael: Quartermaines'. Jason: Okay. That's Harbor View Road out on the point. Do you know which direction you were headed? Michael: To Jake's. Jason: To Jake's. You were going east on Harbor View, you were gonna take oak bluff into town. Now, how long had you been driving before it happened? [Kristina crying] Carly: When the hell is that ambulance going to get here? Hold on. Claudia, try and stay still, okay? Just try and don't move. Claudia: I smell gas. Carly: The ambulance is on its way. You just need to stay still. Claudia: The car's gonna explode. Carly: The car is leaking gas. Don't move. You have to try and stay still. Claudia: Carly, please don't let me die, please. Please don't let my baby die. Carly: I can't wait. I have to get her out of here. Claudia: Hurry, hurry. [Moans] Carly: Don't worry, I'm gonna get you out of here. [Claudia moans] Jason: So you can't be sure you were still on Harbor View? Michael: I told you, I can't be sure of anything except I almost hit another car. Jason: I need to find out if that other car actually crashed, Michael. Michael: I did this, Jason, no matter how hard you try to make it right. I ran another car off the road. I didn't slow down; I didn't stop to see if I hurt anybody. I didn't even try to help. You know? I mean, not only am I totally mental, but I'm--I'm a coward. Jason: No, you're not. Michael: I need my dad to help me fight my battles for me at the stupid country club. I need you to help me out of this mess. You know, I wish my parents would just ship me off to an institution where I couldn't hurt anybody and we could all just be done with it. Jason: Michael, don't say that. Michael: It's true, you know. We were better off--everybody was better off when I was still in a coma. Jason: Nobody was better off. We're not gonna send you to some institution. I am never gonna give up on you. I'm not gonna let you give up on yourself. Kiefer: K., What happened? Kristina: I didn't know who else to call. Kiefer: What's wrong? Kristina: I was afraid you wouldn't show up. Kiefer: Just tell me, okay? Kristina: I'm not supposed to be driving by myself. Kiefer: That's okay. Kristina: No, it's not! I'm supposed to have an adult in the car. Kiefer: Why are you parked on the side of the road? Kristina: I was upset when I left the club, and I was crying and driving too fast, and I swerved into the wrong lane. Kiefer: Did you hit someone? Kristina: A car was heading right towards me. Kiefer: Did you hit the car? Kristina: I think I made it crash. Kiefer: Where's the car now? Kristina: I don't know. I just kept driving. Kiefer: Did anyone see you? Kristina: I don't think so. I'm in so much trouble. Kiefer: No, not necessarily. Does anyone know you were driving tonight? Kristina: No one knows I use this car. Viola uses it for errands. Kiefer: So nobody saw you drive away with it? Kristina: I don't--there's an attached garage. You can't see it from the house. Kiefer: Then we're golden. It's fine. Kristina: But what if the other car went off the road? What if someone got hurt?! Kiefer: Just take a deep breath, okay? All right? Here's the deal. We're gonna take this car back to your place, okay? Kristina: I can't. I tried. I can't drive. Kiefer: You're gonna have to, K. I'll follow you, we'll put this car back in the garage, you'll jump in my car, and I'll bring you back up to the house. Kristina: But what about the other people in the car? Kiefer: All right, they're probably fine. Hey, just in case, we'll come up with a cover story. I'll be your alibi. Kristina: Thank you. Kiefer: No one's gonna know you were driving tonight. [Distant siren] [Siren] Claudia: Hurry. Hurry. Carly: I'm trying. It's jammed. [Grunts] Claudia: [Groans] Do you smell gas? Carly: Yes! Come on, come on. Okay, I got it. Can you lift up just a little? Claudia: Aah! I'm trying. Aah...uhh! Carly: All right. I gotta pull you over here. [Sirens coming closer] Claudia: Ohh! Carly: Come on. [Truck horn honks] Carly: Come on. We've got to get away from the car. Claudia: Aah! Claudia: I'm 4 months pregnant. Please make sure my baby's okay. Kiefer: You all right? There's no big rush to go in. Kristina: I can't believe you helped me after we had that awful fight. Kiefer: I would never leave you stranded on the side of the road, K. You know that. Kristina: What if something happened to that other car? Kiefer: All right, I'll get you through this. Just stay calm. You and I are the only ones that know you took out the car tonight. If anyone else asks, just deny, deny, deny. I'll back you up. Okay? Kristina: Thank you. Kiefer: You okay? You ready? Molly: Hi, Kiefer. Kiefer: Hey, Molly. How's that essay you're writing for me coming? Molly: I'm not writing your entrance essay for Harvard. Kiefer: Yeah, but then I know I'd get in. Sam: Ahem! HI, who are you, and why do you want my little sister to cheat for you? Kristina: Sam, this is Kiefer Bauer. Um, Kiefer, this is my big sister Sam McCall. Kiefer: Nice to meet you. Sam: HI. Very nice to meet you, too. So, you guys do anything fun and exciting tonight? Kristina: We went to the country club. Kiefer: A friend's having a party tonight, and it's gonna be pretty wild, but--and I wanted to go, but K talked me out of it. She's a great influence. Kristina: I try. It's, um, kind of late. Kiefer: I get the hint. Later, K. Bye, guys. Sam: Bye. Molly: Bye. Sam: Nice meeting you. [Door closes] Sam: What, did you and that guy have a fight or something? You just--you seem really... tense. [Sirens] Alexis: The car was on fire when you got here? Officer: That's correct. Alexis: Was it a single-car accident? Officer: There was no other car at the scene. Alexis: Any witnesses? Officer: Yes, but we haven't taken her statement yet. Mac: I'll take over. Officer: Yes, sir. Mac: What are you doing here, Alexis? Alexis: I was just driving by. I saw the police lights and I— Mac: As far as we know, it's a traffic accident, you know, and there may be serious injury, but nothing criminal. Alexis: Claudia Zacchara was driving. Keep me posted. Sam: Haven't you noticed that our little sister has lots of interests? I mean, we went from standard methods of investigation to rulers of ancient Rome in one conversation. Kristina: Molly's amazing. Sam: Are you sure you're all right? Kristina: Let's just say that Kiefer's about the only person right now who isn't making fun of me because of Mom. That's why I didn't want to go to that party. I just didn't want to deal. Sam: Look, is there anything that I can do for you? Anything at all? Alexis: Hi, Sam. Sam: HI! Alexis: I didn't expect you. What brings you out here tonight? Sam: Oh--well, I haven't seen Molly in such a long time. I thought I'd come out and-- it was good. She had a bunch of questions about me being a really good detective. Alexis: I hope she's not still awake. That kid would stay up reading all night if I let her. Sam: No, she seemed, uh, pretty sleepy. Alexis: All right, well, I'll check on her in a minute. I just want to--trying to see if there's any updates from Mac on that accident. Sam: What happened? Alexis: Well, I was coming home on Harbor View Road and I saw these police lights. Apparently, Claudia rolled her car. Kristina: I'm sorry, Mom. Um, these glasses get so wet. I'll go get some paper towels. Kristina: Hey, can you give me an update on Claudia Corinthos? Nurse: I can only release medical information to members. Kristina: She's my stepmother. Doesn't that count? Nurse: I'm sorry. You'll have to contact a family member to answer your questions. Kristina: Okay. Thank you. Kristina: Have you heard anything? Alexis: No. Mac hasn't let me know yet. Do you want me to call your dad? Kristina: Don't bother him. He's got a lot to deal with.
