[Alexis screams]

Sam: Get off! Get off of her! Get off!

[Man grunts]

Sam: Alexis? Alexis? Please, are you okay? Help! Somebody, help! Oh, gosh -- you're okay.

[Alexis coughs]

Sam: Oh, good, you're okay. Oh, my God. Help! My God.

[Alexis coughs]

Sam: Hello? Yes, there's been an attack. I'm down by the docks. No, a man -- he -- he attacked my mother, he almost killed her. Please hurry. No, no, no, he was wearing black, all black, a ski mask!

Mike: Hey, what happened?

Sam: Please hurry!

Mike: Come on -- I heard screaming. Come here. Come here.

Alexis: Someone attacked --

Mike: Are you all right?

[Alexis coughs]

Mike: Come on. Come on, sit down, sit down.

Alexis: Sam -- saved my life.

Sam: Are you okay? Oh, my God, I was so scared.

Mike: Here, here you go. Are you okay?

Alexis: Thank you.

[Phone rings]

Alexis: Oh --

Sam: What is it? "Changed my mind -- you first, then your bitch daughter."


Alexis: I was walking home, and I was finishing up a call on my cell phone. And this man just jumped out from behind me, and he was wearing black gloves. That's all I saw. And he put a cord around my neck, and he -- I couldn't breathe. And if Sam didn't show up when she did, he would've killed me.

Sam: I jumped on him when I saw what was happening, and he got away and I called 911 and then Mike got here.

Lucky: Did any one of you get a look at him? Anything about his clothing?

Alexis: He was wearing black, that's all I saw.

Mike: No, no, he was gone by the time I got here.

Sam: Yeah, he had a ski mask on -- it happened so fast.

Lucky: Mike, did you see anyone suspicious hanging around the diner?

Mike: No, but that -- that doesn't mean much. It was busy, I was inside, I went out for some fresh air, and I heard the screaming. Alexis, I really think you got to get to the hospital, get checked out -- you could be hurt, honey.

Alexis: I'm not going to the hospital, all right? I'm going down to the station with you because we are going to zero in on this maniac who's terrorizing this town.


Sam: I wish we could be more help.

Mac: That's okay. Look, what you've given us so far is good. Don't worry. I mean, it's possible that something will occur to you that isn't registering right now. Once the shock wears off, maybe you'll remember more.

Alexis: I really just want to call Viola one more time, I need to check on the girls.

Mac: Absolutely.

Lucky: Hey, are you really all right?

Sam: No, I am not all right. I -- I just really can't believe it. I would like to take a stick and beat myself over the head with it.

Lucky: Why?

Sam: Why? Because I have done whole shows on self-defense. I have had experts on. I have participated in demonstrations, what to do in case you're being attacked. Step one, two, three -- everything. Everything I ever learned went straight out the window. I saw my mother being attacked and I saw red. I flew at the guy, and he got away!

Lucky: Sam, you saved her life, and that is no small thing.

Sam: And that's really going to tick the killer off, isn't it?


Lucky: Listen, this isn't open for discussion. I'm taking you both home and I think that you need to tell Ric what happened.

Alexis: Well, he'll find out about it and there's really nothing he can do about it. I can't reach him right now anyway, I don't know where he is. I just want to get home and see my girls.

Lucky: All right, let's go.

Scott: Alexis, I just heard what happened. Is there anything I can do?

Alexis: Unless you have a better idea, I think we need to put an A.P.B. out on Johnny Zacchara.


Alexis: I'm sorry I have to drag you back here, but I'm sure my keys fell out here somewhere.

Lucky: I'm going to post a couple of men at the lake house.

Sam: Okay.

Alexis: That really won't be necessary.

Lucky: Yes, it is.

Alexis: Oh, thank God. I'd be lost without these.

[Phones ring]

Alexis and Sam both receive text messages at the same time. They look at them and then switch phones and look at each others. Alexis text message says "Now you'll die slow" and Sam's says "and you'll watch"
