31, 2009 Transcript Sonny: I want everything cleaned up by the time Michael and Kristina get home. Carly: Well, if you wanna do that, you need to prove that Alexis is the one who caused Claudia's accident. Sonny: That doesn't-- that doesn't make any sense. Carly: Alexis was the prime suspect before Michael confessed. Sonny: Why would Alexis try to frame Michael? Mac: If you wanna make a formal confession, we should go upstairs. Alexis: As D.A., I'm authorizing my own statement. There are three witnesses present. I was driving recklessly on Harbor View Road after I'd had a fight with the mayor's wife. I swerved into Claudia's lane. I didn't see her car go off the road, but I was aware that my car had brushed against the oncoming car. Lucky: You just kept on driving? Alexis: I came back to see if everyone was all right-- Jax: Stop it, Alexis. I'm not gonna let you do this. Sonny: Alexis would never deliberately hurt Michael. Carly: Alexis is the D.A. She could have asked more questions about Michael's confession. Sonny, he's a kid. He was in a coma for a year. He has serious issues. Instead, she treated his confession like gospel. Sonny: Yeah, but, Alexis, you know, she didn't force Michael to walk into the P.C.P.D. and confess. Carly: But she sure as hell capitalized on it. Sonny: Okay, you know what? Whatever's goin' on with Alexis, I don't care. We need to set the confession aside, and I want all these legal issues under control by the time Michael and Kristina get home. Carly: That's fine. Good luck, because Ale-- [Telephone rings] Sonny: What? [Ring] Carly: Hey, Jax. I'm resting. I'm sittin' down. I'm--I'm calm. Jax: I'm at the police station. You're not gonna believe this, but, uh, Alexis just confessed to running Claudia off the road. I'll call you when I have some more info. Lucky. You don't think Alexis' confession will hold up in court, do you? Lucky: I don't see why it wouldn’t. She was our first suspect. Now the preliminary forensics are backin' us up. Jax: Yes, but she would never do this to Michael. Lucky: She didn't hesitate to put out an A.P.B. on him. Jax: Don't you think this, uh, confession is, uh--is a little convenient? I mean, the timing of it is-- Mac: It seems pretty straightforward to me, Jax. You know, once Alexis realized we had strong evidence against her, she told us the truth. Jax: Yeah, I wouldn't necessarily assume that. Lucky: Well, would you rather Michael get blamed for something he didn't do? Jax: No, of course not. The thing is Alexis would never run a car off the road and th-- and then run and then blame it on a 17-year-old who's recovering from brain damage. Mac: Wouldn't be the first time Alexis twisted the law to serve herself. Jax: All right. What the hell are you doing? Huh? Alexis: I know what I'm doing. Jax: We--the idea was to clear you, okay, so that Carly would stop obsessing about it and-- and we shou--we didn't wanna come up with evidence against you. Who are you covering for? Alexis: You need to just leave this alone. Jax: Come on, Alexis. I know you didn't do this. Who are you covering for? Alexis: Sometimes we do things that we don't expect. Jax: What's that supposed to mean? Go on. You need to tell me what's really going on here. Sonny: There's gotta be more to it. I don't buy Alexis framing Michael. Carly: It's not that complicated, Sonny. Alexis put out an A.P.B. on Michael because she wanted him in jail before anyone else could learn the truth. Sonny: Still doesn't make sense to me, Carly. Carly: Obviously the police found something, because Alexis had to confess. Sonny: Then, let--let the police handle it, because you need to take it easy with the baby and the whole thing, you know. Alexis: I appreciate that you believe in me no matter what I do. Jax: No. It doesn't make sense that you--that you would blame Michael and then now confess. It just doesn't make sense. Alexis: The evidence proves that my car forced Claudia off the road. That, along with my confession, there's really nothing else to say. Diane: Gentlemen. I just picked up a rather disturbing message from Jax. He says that Alexis has been arrested. Mac: You know, for all the times you've hindered a police investigation, you've actually helped this one, Diane. You've convinced Judge Jameson to order preliminary forensics on Alexis' cars. Lucky: Alexis made a full confession. Mac: She needs a lawyer right now. Diane: She needed a lawyer before she ever opened her mouth. [Footsteps approaching] Diane: Talk to me. Alexis: The police had it right the first time. The evidence proves that now. I had no choice. Diane: Jax, would you please give us a moment? Jax: Yeah. Try to talk some sense into her. Diane: So, my friend, okay. First of all, my profound apologies for my part in all of this, but let's just--let's just cut to the chase, okay? Did you cause the accident or not? Alexis: I didn't, but Kristina did. Diane: So the simplest solution is to toss out the confession, and then I go to work on the paint chips. Now, there is no audio recording of what you said in the garage. The surveillance video just shows you standing around, talking. You could very well be discussing the weather. Alexis: I authorized the confession as district attorney. There were three witnesses. Diane: Right. So we deny everything, or we say that you were mistaken. Alexis: No. I wa--I want--I want it on the record. I want formal questioning. I want you to tape it. Diane: That's a very bad idea. Alexis: There can be no question about this. Diane: Alexis, think. I am--I'm very well aware and appreciate the fact that you want to protect your daughter and that you are frantic because she has run off with Michael, but for once in your life, you're not seeing the big picture. Alexis: I will do whatever I have to do to protect my daughter. Diane: Alexis, if you confess to this accident, then that gives credence to Andrea Floyd's story that you were hysterical when you left the mayor's house, which in turn validates all of those obsessive e-mails that you swear you didn't write. And since you appear to be framing Michael for all of this, any shred of credibility you have is now gone. Alexis: Why didn't I just send her to camp? Why didn't I just send her to camp like you said or to Switzerland or to Mars? Because the minute those e-mails came out, she--she was just so upset. She would never have taken the car. Diane: Do you have any details about what really happened? Alexis: All I know is that she's a wonderful girl, and she has a beautiful life ahead of her, a-and I don't want her to lose all that because she made a couple of stupid mistakes. Diane: So you intend to keep covering for her? Alexis: Absolutely. Diane: Do you realize that if you stand by this confession, you could very well end up charged with Brianna Hughes' murder? Carly: I want the details. I wanna hear how Alexis confessed. Jax: Well, the idea was to clear Alexis, actually, so you would stop worrying. I got Diane to get the judge to order forensics on both of her cars, and it turns out they found a paint chip on one of the bumpers that match Claudia's car. Carly: Ha ha! Yeah, and I bet that's when Alexis argued that there's a million cars out there that have the same paint chips. Jax: No. That's when she-- that's when she confessed, okay, and I couldn't believe it. Carly: Why didn't she just tell the truth in the beginning, then? Jax: Well, that's what got me thinking. See, Alexis bought two white hybrids, one for herself and one for the nanny. Carly: Which car had the paint chips on it? Jax: Nanny's car. Carly: Why was she driving the nanny's car? Jax: Hmm. Maybe she wasn’t. Put yourself in her shoes. What would make you confess to a crime you didn't commit? Carly: If I were protecting my kid. Jax: Right. Carly: It's Kristina. Oh, my-- Jax: Kristina was driving the car. She caused Claudia's accident, and Alexis confessed to protect her. Carly: Wow.
