Alexis: Any luck in finding the person that left my daughter lying in the road near dead?

Mac: Why don't you ask Lucky? He's in charge of the case.

Lucky: Not anymore.


Lucky: Given the history between me and Sam -- the stuff that's happened, the lies that have been told --

Mayor Floyd: What lies?

Alexis: What difference does it make what lies have been told? What if she's telling the truth right now?

Lucky: And you know she wasn't, about a lot of things and that's -- that's the problem -- I don't know what to believe.

Mac: You should've thought about this before insisting on heading up the investigation.

Lucky: I thought I could be objective, but things changed.

Alexis: Sam told Lucky that the text message killer was in her room last night and threatened her.

Mac: That's impossible.

Mayor Floyd: Yeah, of course that's impossible.

Lucky: That wasn't the first time.

Alexis: This has happened before?

Lucky: We had a fight. I told Sam to get out of my house and stay out of my life. A little while later, she called me with this story -- she got a text message, that she was being chased, how she was fighting him off, kicking him in the ribs.

Alexis: My God, why wouldn't you have said anything, Lucky? What, are you -- what, are you hoping the guy comes back and finishes her off?


Alexis: You didn't follow it up?

Lucky: That's what I'm trying --

Alexis: You didn't file a report?

Scott: Based on what?

Alexis: Based on my daughter's word.

Scott: A scorned woman desperate to hang on here?

Alexis: See, I knew something was wrong with this because she is way too smart. She's actually too good of a liar to come up with a story that could be so easily dismissed.

Lucky: No one else has seen this guy, there's nothing else to back it up.

Mayor Floyd: You risk starting a citywide panic.

Mac: Because of a story that may or may not be true.

Alexis: So, what, are we going to wait till he strangles my daughter, too?

Scott: Uh -- now, come on, come on, Alexis.

Alexis: I'm really sorry.

Mac: You're worried.

Alexis: I am.

Mayor Floyd: Yeah, well, you should be worried -- about more than your daughter.

Alexis: You could care less about this threat. All you care about is the political backlash because we'd be wrong, wouldn't we?

Mayor Floyd: You went on television and announced to the world that Cooper Barrett was the killer.

Alexis: Look at you, doing damage control already. You're distancing yourself.

Mayor Floyd: No, I want to make sure that everything's being done to make sure that this maniac isn't still out there.

Lucky: Sam said she lost her phone on the docks. If she's telling the truth, there's a text message on that phone from the killer. I'm going to go back and check again and check any other hospital for rib injuries or --

Scott: I'll do that. And you're trying to distance yourself, so --

Mayor Floyd: Look, Spencer, I don't give a damn about your personal feelings. This is your job, go do it.

Mac: Mayor, excuse me. Alexis, Cooper Barrett was our guy. Carly played text message tag with him at the ball. She lured him out into the open but no one took her seriously. He was a D.N.A. match to the skin found under Georgie's fingernails -- the test results were with his body. Look, he hung himself because he knew the truth was about to come out.

Scott: And you went on television and told everybody that we had the guy.

Alexis: So what? Maybe I'm wrong. Who cares, because if she's right, if Sam is right, that son of a bitch is still out there.


Alexis: Mac, you need to take this seriously -- certainly more seriously than Lucky did.

Mac: Lucky did the right thing --

Alexis: Lucky did nothing.

Mac: Based on the facts.

Alexis: The public needs to be alerted.

Mayor Floyd: No. Excuse me, absolutely not.

Alexis: At the very least, the case needs to be reopened.

Mac: Let's see if Lucky can turn up Sam's cell phone. If there's a text message on it --

Scott: Well, she might've put something on it herself.

Alexis: That's not something that she would do.

Scott: Well, it is something she would do. She's been scamming men her whole life -- you know, marrying them, taking their money --

Alexis: Excuse me, that's my daughter you're talking about.

Scott: I know, Alexis. Sometimes it's tough to think that your children might be capable of --

Mayor Floyd: Well, you know, it is understandable that this could cloud your judgment which is why I want you to work closely with Scott on this.

Scott: Absolutely.

Mayor Floyd: Yeah, look, I need your objectivity now

Alexis: You need him to cover your ass.

Mayor Floyd: Excuse me, Counselor. You are only temporary D.A. in Ric's absence.

Alexis: You're right, Mayor, I'm not objective because that maniac not only tried to kill my daughter, he tried to kill me. This is personal.
