Did Something--I Did Another Stupid Thing"

scenes here
Alexis:
Why are you so sure there was another vehicle involved in Claudia's
accident?
Kristina:
It's common sense, right? I mean, Claudia rolled her car. I just
assumed it was because of another driver.
Alexis:
Well, could be an animal or maybe she was going so fast that her
car lost control. So, I mean, at this point, there's no indication
that there was another vehicle involved.
Kristina:
Really?
Alexis:
Mm-hmm. Honey, some things just happen randomly. As far as we know,
there was no one at fault here. That's why it's called an accident.
Mac:
Can you estimate the speed Claudia was traveling at the time of
impact?
Man:
Not yet, but look at the distance her car rolled.
Mac:
So we're just looking at a single car incident? I mean, she spun
out, rolled, and crashed.
Lucky:
Mac. We got a second set of skid marks.
Mac:
Which direction?
Lucky:
Opposite. Headed straight for Claudia.
Mac:
Well, that's it, then. A car appeared in Claudia's lane, approaching
fast. She swerved to avoid it and bam. I guess we're looking for
the driver of the other car, Lucky.
Alexis:
Honey, will you sit down? You're wearing out a path in the carpet.
Kristina:
Can you throw the D.A. card?
Alexis:
Well--
Kristina:
Get the hospital to tell you if Claudia and the baby are okay?
Alexis:
Why are you so concerned?
Kristina:
What kind of question is that? Claudia is Dad's wife. She's having
his baby, my little brother or sister. It's scary to think something
terrible might happen to them.
Alexis:
Okay. Calm down. All right. I promise if I hear anything, I will
let you know, okay? In the meantime, change of subject. All right,
tell me, what did you do with Ashley today?
Kristina:
I have to make a confession.
Alexis:
I'm waiting. You have a confession?
Kristina:
I haven't been completely honest with you.
Alexis:
You mean you lied?
Kristina:
I gave you misdirection. Okay, I lied.
Alexis:
From the top.
Kristina:
Remember when I told you I was at the coffee house with Ashley tonight?
Alexis:
Mm-hmm.
Kristina:
I was really out with Kiefer. We went to the country club, then
we were going to go to a party. But then you called and I felt guilty,
so I told him to bring me back here. I know it was wrong of me to
lie. I'm sorry. Are you gonna ground me?
Alexis:
If I had found this out from somebody else, yes, you would be very
grounded. But because you were honest and you didn't make the situation
any worse--
[Telephone

Alexis:
You have a reprieve. [Ring] [Ring] It's Mac. I have to take it.
[Ring] What's happening?
Mac:
We may be looking at a criminal investigation of reckless driving.
Evidence at the scene indicates another car forced Claudia off the
road.
[Cell
phone rings]
Michael:
Hey.
Kristina:
Did you hear?
Michael:
What?
Kristina:
Claudia got into a terrible accident tonight. She swerved to avoid
an oncoming car and wiped out.
Michael:
Is Alexis here?
Kristina:
At her office dealing with Claudia's accident.
Michael:
I need you to tell me everything you know about it.
Kristina:
Why are you so freaked out?
Michael:
Just tell me.
Kristina:
Mom said the police think a driver coming from the opposite direction
swerved into Claudia's lane, and she tried to avoid the car and
rolled.
Michael:
Where was the crash?
Kristina:
Harbor View Road.
[Knock
on door]
Alexis:
Oh, good.
Sam:
Uh, a little late to be at the office, don't you think?
Alexis:
All right, I want to talk to you about something, and I really don't
want Kristina and Molly to know about this if at all possible.
Sam:
Okay.
Alexis:
I did something--I did another stupid thing.
Sam:
Oh, no.
Alexis:
All right, wait. Let me back up. I was having a conversation with
Molly about this Mayor Floyd thing. And she said to me, "Mommy,
all these people are lying about you. Why aren't you doing anything?"
And I thought, well, she's right. Why am I being so passive?
Sam:
Oh, no.
Alexis:
So I came up with the brilliant idea to go over to Mayor Floyds
house.
Sam:
Yeah, you did something stupid.
Alexis:
I tol--I already admitted that it was stupid. So I thought I could
appeal to his better nature. Apparently he doesn't have one. But
what he does have is a wife who is crazy like a bat. So I get into
an argument with her, and that's when I realize that Mayor Floyd
has security cameras. So now there's footage of me stomping up to
the door and--if anyone gets a hold of that footage, I might as
well just pack up and move.
Sam:
Wait a minute. Mayor Floyd lives on Harbor View Road, doesn't he?
Alexis:
Yeah.
Alexis:
So it's widely suspected by law enforcement that Damian Spinelli
has perfected the art of breeching security camera codes and making
the footage just disappear.
Sam:
Okay, all right. I get it. So you want me to ask Spinelli if he
can eliminate any visual evidence of you being at Mayor Floyds
house.
Alexis:
Yes, please.
Sam:
All right, yeah.
Alexis:
Will you?
Sam:
I will definitely see what I can do. What time were you there around?
Alexis:
A little before 9:00.
Sam:
Okay. All right. And you said that you got into a little bit of
an argument with his wife.
Alexis:
She's a very unpleasant Woman.
Sam:
Which means that you were probably a little bit upset, right?
Alexis:
Well, yeah.
Sam:
Okay. Um, how did you get back?
Alexis:
In my car.
Sam:
What direction?
Alexis:
Harbor View Road and Adams Lane. Why does that matter?
Sam:
It doesnt. [Scoffs] I'm just putting together all the pieces,
that's all. I'll get back to you.
[Door
closes]
Kristina:
Are you okay? You just, like, turned green.
Michael:
I did something that proves I'm damaged and dangerous.
Kristina:
What are you talking about? That stupid fight with Kiefer?
Michael:
No, something much worse. I was driving my car to Jakes, and
some ass cut me off, so I went nuts. I went speeding after him,
yelling my head off, totally not paying attention to the road. And
I took a turn too wide. And there was this car I almost hit head-on.
It had to be Claudia. I think I caused her accident.
[Knock
on door]
Diane:
First off, I need you to assure me that you have admitted nothing.
Alexis:
To whom?
Diane:
To anyone.
Alexis:
I have no idea what you're talking about.
Diane:
Really? Because I'm under the impression that you're facing criminal
charges.
Alexis:
Criminal charges? Whatever gave you that idea?
Diane:
Well, it's just what I inferred when I get a call from Commissioner
Scorpio saying to race down here because you're going to need a
good lawyer.
