Alexis:
Mayor Floyd is insisting that we release a statement naming persons
of interest in the cannery explosion by this afternoon, so I'm going
to go over the witness list but first I want a background check
on -- on a few people if you don't mind. The first one is --
[Knock
on door]
Alexis:
Mari-- Marianna --
Sam:
Hi.
Alexis:
Yeah, let me call you right back. Good. Hey.
Sam:
Hi.
Alexis:
How's physical therapy?
Sam:
Well, you know, I'm trying to tough out the pain.
Alexis:
Oh.
Sam:
But the truth is, I don't know if I can take another month of this.
Alexis:
It'll get better; it'll get easier as you go.
Sam:
Well, I don't think it can get much worse. I -- I spend two hours
a day being tortured while the person who did this is walking around
probably without even a scratch.
Alexis:
The police have not given up on the person
who was driving the car and neither should you.
Alexis:
What time is your appointment this afternoon?
Sam:
Uh -- I don't know -- 4:00.
Alexis:
Hmm. Maybe you need somebody to go with you -- distract you.
Sam:
No, no. If you're thinking about Lucky, it's not an option. No,
thank you.
Alexis:
I'm just thinking that he would probably enjoy keeping you company.
Sam:
No, I doubt it. He's probably enjoying making Elizabeth happy, not
me.
Alexis:
See, and you saying that that way -- it implies that you still have
feelings about Lucky.
Sam:
I came here to talk about the accident --
Alexis:
All right.
Sam:
Not about my feelings.
Alexis:
Duly noted.
Sam:
Okay.
Alexis:
What do you want me to do?
Sam:
Okay. I have a question.
Alexis:
Yeah?
Sam:
Let's say the driver that was driving the car that hit me didn't
realize they hit me, like, okay -- say they were, I don't know,
drunk or high?
Alexis:
Then they'd be charged with driving under the influence as well
as hit-and-run. Impaired or not, that person is going to prison.
Sam:
I mean, I -- whew. I guess that's only fair considering everything
I've been through.
Alexis:
Why are you asking so many questions, Sam? Do you remember seeing
the person that hit you?
Sam:
Okay, I -- I have been having these flashes from the night of the
accident, and -- and before, all I could remember were little pieces
-- like the car coming ward me, and hitting the ground.
Alexis:
And now?
Sam:
What if I remember seeing who hit me? Wait -- wait a minute, what
are you doing?
Alexis:
I'm calling Mac.
Sam:
No, don't, please. I just -- I want to be sure before I give a statement
to the police.
Alexis:
If you have a lead, it's their job to follow it up.
Sam:
Okay, and I agree. I just -- I need to sort through all of this
first.
Alexis:
The longer you wait, the more difficult it's going to be to make
a case against this driver.
Sam:
Okay, but I know what it's like to falsely accused, and I don't
want to put anyone else through that.
Alexis:
You need to let the police handle this. I mean it. You're not in
any position to -- to perform your own investigation here.
Sam:
Okay. All right, I'll -- I will tell you if I know any more details.
