on door] Sam:
Ahem. Alexis:
Hi. Sam:
Hi. Alexis:
All right, you sounded upset. Sam:
Thank you for coming over. I hope I didn't worry you. I just need
some legal advice from my brilliant attorney, legal mother. Yes.
Alexis:
If Amelia Joffe is trying to hold you to that absurd career by dragging
up your past, that's not going -- Sam:
No, no, no, this has absolutely nothing to do with Amelia for once,
and thank you. Thank you for saying "my past," instead
of bringing up and saying, maybe, "all those men that I bilked,
and, of course, the one that I killed." That was very nice
of you. Alexis:
You were exonerated, and that was self-defense. Sam:
Yeah, until I look at myself in the mirror, and I see all of the
women that I pretended to be staring at me, and I -- I tell myself
that I had reasons. I had to pay for Danny -- Alexis:
I understand. Nobody knows more than I do -- Sam:
And rent and a car and to cover for my father -- Alexis:
It was an untenable situation,
Sam. Sam:
That's really nice -- "an untenable situation." There
were other ways I could've dealt with it. I -- I did not have to
go to the extreme, but I did. Somehow I always do. Alexis:
I realize that my attempts to help you in the past have been disastrous,
but I'm willing to give this another try. Have a seat. What happened,
and what do you need? Sam:
Ok. This has -- um -- nothing to do with me personally, it's about
a segment that we're doing on the show. Alexis:
Ok, what is the segment about? Sam:
Ok. If a person witnesses a crime and doesn't report it, is that
person guilty of anything? Alexis:
You're talking about a very gray area of the law. There's a very
fine line between an accomplice and a bystander. Sam:
Ok, let's just say that there's a crime in progress and the person
is just -- there. Alexis:
Watching? Sam:
Yeah. Alexis:
Speaking hypothetically, if someone sees something and they -- it
affects the outcome of the crime, yes, they're accountable. Sam:
Even if the person's just there watching, seeing it, and doesn't
report it? I -- I mean, are they guilty of anything "under
the law"? Alexis:
It depends on what they saw. This isn't about the show at all, is
it? This is about Jason. Ok, what crime did you see Jason commit?
Alexis:
Sam, if you know anything about Jason killing Alcazar, you had better
tell me right now. Sam: No, listen -- listen to me! No! Jason always protects me from the business. I don't ask questions, I don't get to have expectations -- that's how Jason lives, and at one point I loved him for that. Alexis:
You have a career right now. You're good at what you do, you're
making your own money. Maybe you can be a little more realistic
about Jason -- Sam:
I told you I don't know anything about Jason killing Lorenzo Alcazar.
And you know what? I wouldn't put it past Ric to set him up, he's
done it before. Alexis:
No, we're not getting off the subject right now. You said you witnessed
a crime, I want to know what it was. Sam:
I told you. I told you, I'm doing research for the show. Just background
-- that's what I need. Alexis:
Isn't Amelia supposed to be supervising the research for the show?
Sam:
Yes, but, look, I don't trust her -- for obvious reasons. Amelia
and I -- we get along, we compromise because we have to, because
we work together. The only thing she cares about is ratings, and
if her ratings go up -- Alexis:
I can't help you unless you tell me what's going on. I understand
that the two of us have issues, but you're going to have to trust
somebody, so it might as well be your mother. Sam:
Don't worry, ok? I am not in any legal trouble. In fact -- ok, you're
right. I should be happy with my life. I mean, I'm making great
money, finally. I -- I have more money than I know what I can deal
with. Alexis:
The more you dodge my question the more worried that I get. You're
drinking, so, obviously, you have a problem. Why don't you just
tell me what's going on? Sam:
It's about Jason, and it's not what you think. It's about our relationship,
our life together -- and I know you hate that. Alexis:
Your relationship with Jason I have long since realized is not my
call to make. Sam:
I didn't think I was capable of loving somebody as much as I loved
Jason, and that scares me because I will do absolutely anything
to hold on to him, and that was my mistake. Alexis:
What did you do? Sam:
I tried too hard to hold on! And now it's just slipping away, everything.
Alexis:
You mean Jason? Sam: Yes! But part of me doesn't even want to hold on, because why would I want to hold on to Jason when it makes me into somebody I don't want to be?
