THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!
[dramatic music]
[knock at door]
Oh, Kristen. [gasps] Rachel, hi! Come in here. Come on in.
I am so sorry it’s so early. I just–I tried calling, and there was no answer.
No. Clearly, I was up already. Oh! It is so good to see you.
Good morning, Grandma.
Ooh. Ooh, ooh. Mm, mm, mm, mm! I live for these moments. [laughter] Is everything OK?
No.
No, she woke up crying and insisted that she needed to see her daddy right away.
Oh. Honey, I’m so sorry. What happened?
I had a nightmare that something bad happened to Daddy.
Oh, God.
Where–where am I?
All right, we need to keep this street closed for at least another two hours while we do accident reconstruction. You better alert the mayor’s office.
Consider me alerted, Commissioner. I understand there was a hit-and-run here last night.
Yeah, it looks like that. Xander Kiriakis found his wife lying here, and he heard a car screeching away.
Oh!
Yeah. I spoke with the ER docs, and they told me that her injuries are consistent with blunt force trauma.
Oh! Right here just steps away from the town square. Oh, what is this world coming to?
I keep wondering the same thing.
Oh. Well, I’m praying for her. Any idea who the driver was?
[tense music] [siren wailing]
Here you go.
Not me.
Thanks, Mum.
Sarah’s been in surgery for five hours now.
Well, that just means she’s still alive and fighting.
[crying] No. You know, if I could have found that stupid key to the Horton cabin, she wouldn’t have been on her way over there to help me look for it. She would have just gotten on the ferry with you, and you two would have had your honeymoon by now.
Maggie, stop. There’s only one person to blame for this, and that’s whoever ran Sarah down in their car and left her to die in the road.
[gasps] Oh, my God! [tires screeching]
If Sarah doesn’t pull through this, I’m gonna hunt that bastard down and kill him with my own hands.
[tense music]
Now, Xander, Sarah needs us to think positive thoughts right now.
Your mother is right.
Yes. I know. Positive thoughts. Sarah’s strong, like you said. She has so much to live for. She’s gonna be all right. She has to be.
Brady. Brady!
[groans] What’s go–what’s going on?
I think I hit someone. Oh. Hello? Hello, can you hear me? Hello? Miss? Oh, God.
Oh, my God. Sarah.
How is she? How’s Sarah?
[dramatic music]
We don’t have an ID on the driver yet.
Any witnesses?
It was late, and no one was around. But we are putting together a press release. We’re asking anyone with information to come forward. We’re also gonna be gathering footage from the security cameras.
So you have nothing so far?
Well, I wouldn’t say that. Look, based on the skid marks and the preliminary reconstruction from the accident, you can see that the car clipped that pole over there, yeah, when it was fleeing the scene. And there’s some gray paint on there, and I’m gonna have the forensics examine it.
So you’re saying that you think that the car that hit Sarah was gray?
And will almost have discernible damage to the front end from the impact.
[groans]
Hell–hell am I doing in the garage?
Oh, God, did I– did I drive drunk?
– Sarah’s condition is stable.
[sighs] Thank God.
Yeah. Her internal injuries were fairly extensive. She had multiple lacerations on her liver and her spleen, but we were able to repair those. We gave her six units of blood, and we may need to give her one or two more if her own counts don’t come up on their own.
Well, I can donate whatever she needs.
Great. We always need donors. That’d be great.
Is there anything else, Kayla?
Well, it’s an absolute miracle that she didn’t have any broken bones. She does have quite a bit of soft tissue bruising and inflammation that we are still gonna need to evaluate.
Kayla, is she gonna be all right?
Well, assuming that there’s no complications, I think that she will absolutely fully recover. I know that she will be highly motivated to get well.
Well, I know she’s motivated, but, you know, we’re gonna have to keep an eye on her and make sure that she doesn’t push too hard.
Well, you know what they say about doctors– worst patients. But listen, she is going to get VIP treatment here. We all love her so much. She is our family. And we’re so sorry that this happened to her.
So are we.
Oh, darling, I’m so sorry you had a bad dream. Do you want to tell me about it?
No. I just want to see my daddy.
I understand. He’s asleep right now, but… while we wait for him to wake up, why don’t we… make some breakfast? We can make some… pancakes with strawberries.
OK.
Sounds good, doesn’t it? I think that’ll make you feel a whole lot better anyway.
I’m sure it will. I need to make a phone call to Hong Kong. Would you mind?
Oh, no. Go right ahead. We’ll just be in the kitchen, making our breakfast. Here we go.
[chuckles] [sighs]
– Kristen, I will continue to make those payments because I can. And I’ll continue to accept the visitation scraps that you’re willing to give me.
Because I know, sooner or later, you’re going to screw up, like you always do. And I will regain full custody of my daughter.
[sighs]
Mm. [door clicks open]
Kristen.
Yeah. And look what the cat dragged in.
Thank you, Kayla, for everything.
Can we see Sarah?
Well, she’s still pretty out of it, so maybe just one at a time until the anesthesia fully wears off.
You go first.
Are you sure?
I’m sure. You’re her husband and the father of her child.
OK, well, I won’t stay too long.
OK.
This way.
Well, that’s good news.
Yeah, yeah, it is, providing she doesn’t have any complications.
Mm.
Sarah’s still gonna have a very difficult recovery, according to what Kayla said.
[dramatic music] You know, the bad thing about it is, I just keep thinking, who would leave– would leave someone in the street, bleeding and alone, and not call for help?
My son’s wife? Oh, my God. What do I do? What do I do? Pull yourself together, Fiona. OK. OK. Maybe–maybe she’s– OK.
Oh, thank God. You’re alive!
All right, we’re gonna keep a lookout for the damaged vehicle. Make sure we canvass all of the bartenders in this area. There’s a good chance that the driver was intoxicated. [phone rings] Commissioner Hunter. Thank you, Kayla. I’ll be there shortly. Sarah’s out of surgery and is expected to make a full recovery.
Thank God.
Yes.
Oh.
Delgado, I’m gonna leave you in charge of the crime scene. I’m gonna head over to the hospital.
OK, got it.
I need to question Sarah as soon as she’s lucid. She may be our only witness. I need to find out if she can describe the car that hit her.
OK.
Why do you look like a deer caught in the headlights?
I just wasn’t expecting to see you here this early in the morning.
Well, your daughter wanted to see you.
Rachel’s here?
Yeah. She’s in there with Marlena in the kitchen. And it’s a good thing she is, ’cause I wouldn’t want her to see you stumbling in here from your walk of shame…
OK.
Or whatever else–
No, no, no, no, no, no. First of all, I was working all night, all right?
Mm-hmm.
Xander got married yesterday, so I was covering for him.
Right.
Oh, hey, and by the way, watch out, ’cause Basic Black is coming after Gabi Chic. I think you’re gonna regret letting the competition poach us from DiMera.
[sighs]
Xander?
I’m here, darling.
What happened to me?
You were hit by a car near the square. You’ve had surgery, but… Kayla says you’re gonna be fine. But you gave us all quite a scare. Your mum’s outside, and so is mine.
Are you in pain? Is there anything I can get you? Is there anything you need?
Just you. I just need you.
I assume Sarah is conscious now?
She is. And I know that she would want to help you with your investigation. But maybe you could just wait a little bit until she’s more fully conscious?
Of course.
Great. I’ll let her know that you’re here. Xander’s with her right now.
Right, I’m hoping to get a statement from him as well.
OK.
Jada.
Oh, Mrs. Kiriakis. I am so sorry for what happened.
Thank you. Do you have any idea who did this?
Nothing concrete as of right now, but we are hoping that Sarah could possibly ID the driver.
[dramatic music]
Now, as soon as you get out of here, I’m taking you away on the honeymoon of your dreams.
Not the Horton cabin?
Mm-mm. That place is jinxed. I was thinking maybe we could– I don’t know–take Victoria to the North Pole for Christmas to meet Santa. How does that sound?
Cold.
Ah, you’ll be fine. We’ll just bundle up, huddle together for warmth.
Where’s Victoria?
Bonnie’s watching her.
Bonnie?
Yeah. If our daughter’s first word is “beer,” we’ll know who to blame.
[chuckles weakly] Well, at least it won’t be your mother’s fault.
Right?
[chuckles]
Like I said, my mum’s here, and so is yours. She’ll be in momentarily to visit you. Everyone’s been so worried about you, darling.
Tell them not to worry. I’m OK. Just very lucky.
Well, I appreciate your confidence in me, Mr. Shin. I’m sure it mirrors the market’s confidence. Yes, it is indeed reflected by the recent gains in the DiMeras’ stock price. [chuckles] Same to you, Mr. Shin. Zài jiàn. [chuckles]
Where’s Rachel?
What do you mean, where’s Rachel? I thought she was in the kitchen with you.
She was; I gave her some pancakes and turned around to do the dishes, and she was gone. Ah, wait.
[sighs]
There she is.
Did you go try and find Daddy and see if he was awake?
Daddy’s not in his room, and he didn’t sleep in his bed last night.
Oh. Oh, my God. What have I done? What am I gonna tell the police?
Sarah? Sarah!
Sarah! Sarah, love, where are you?
Oh. I’m sorry. I’m sorry to startle you.
No, it’s fine. I’m just a little bit on edge, with everything that’s happened. And actually, I have a bit of a headache.
Why don’t you go back to your hotel and get some rest?
No, no, I need to be here for Xander and for Sarah, of course.
Hey. Kayla said you needed to speak with me?
I do, yes.
And your daughter is very eager to speak with you.
Ah, thank you.
So…do you have any leads?
Well, I just got off the phone with the detective that was on the scene. And unfortunately, the city surveillance didn’t pick up any video of the incident, but the local businesses will be opening up soon, so I’m hoping that maybe I can get some footage from that.
Right.
Yeah. Listen, I–Xander, I know you gave a brief statement last night, but I’m trying to create a timeline of events on what happened, so if you can tell me anything else that you remember.
Right, well, we were gonna take the ferry to Smith Island, and we were gonna honeymoon at the Horton cabin, but Maggie couldn’t find the key, so Sarah offered to go help look. But when Sarah didn’t return, I called Maggie and found out that Sarah never even made it to the mansion.
And that’s when you went to look for her?
Yeah. Found her on the ground. She never even made it to our car.
OK, and you told the officer that was on the scene that you heard a car screeching away? Presumably the car that hit Sarah?
Oh, I’m sure it was. I could smell the rubber from the tires burning, they were going so fast.
Did you see the car?
No, it was dark, and I was worried about Sarah, you know?
Right. This is what strikes me as odd. If Sarah never made it to the car, then she must have been hit shortly after she left you.
That’s right.
And how long after she left you in the square did you go looking for her?
Well, I could check my phone and see what time I called Maggie, but it was at least minutes. When I got there, the driver was still there. Why would they stay?
Maybe to check on her to make sure that help came.
And then they fled? That makes no sense.
You never know what motivates people to do what they do.
Thank you for your statement, but I think I should go in and see Sarah now.
I don’t think that’s a very good idea.
Why not, Mum?
Rachel, your father is–
Entitled to his own privacy. Where he sleeps is not our concern. I think you and I should go, hon, all right?
No. I’m not leaving till I see Daddy.
Daddy’s right here.
Daddy!
Hey. How you doing? Good to see you.
She had a bad dream.
Oh.
Grandma said you were sleeping.
But your bed was already made.
Well, that’s because I made it as soon as I got up.
But why? You never do that.
What is this, the Inquisition?
I dreamed that something bad happened to you.
Oh, sweetie. No, no, no, no, no, no. Nothing bad happened to me. Look at me. I’m fine. Everything’s good. But I’m sorry you were worried about me.
Can we do something today, just you and me?
I would love that. That sounds fun. As long as it’s OK with your mother.
Yeah. Yeah, sure. Just want to make sure that you’re responsible with our daughter.
You know I am.
Of course. But Rachel and I, we have a mother-daughter date today, so why don’t you call me a little later and we can work something out?
[dramatic music]
Perfect. [babbles]
[chuckles]
You know, when you’re up to it, we’re gonna go on that mother-daughter date with Victoria that we’ve been talking about.
Hmm. To the aquarium to feed the sea lions.
Yeah.
[chuckles]
I’m gonna tell the nurse that you need some more meds.
No, Mom. Please stay. Please. Don’t go. I’m OK.
You’re in pain, baby.
Who’s the doctor here, hmm? [chuckles weakly] Those meds, they make my brain all loopy, and I just– I want to stay clearheaded.
Stubborn girl. [laughter]
I take after my mother.
[chuckles]
Mum, why wouldn’t you want the police to question Sarah?
Sarah’s just been through a very delicate surgery. We really shouldn’t be putting any undue stress on her right now.
Ms.–
Fiona Cook.
Oh, my God, I’m sorry. Commissioner Hunter, this is my mother.
Oh, right. Well, I figured that much. Ms. Cook, I’ve already spoken with Sarah’s doctor, who assured me that it is fine to interview her.
Yes, but is it really necessary now?
Yes, it’s very important that I speak to her right away, I mean, as soon as possible. She might remember something that will really help with the case.
Yes, of course. We must all do everything we can to find the person who did this.
I’ll take you to see Sarah now.
I love you, Grandma.
Mm, I love you more. I love you so, so, so much more. Mm. [smooching]
[dramatic music]
I love you, Daddy.
Hey.
I’m so glad you weren’t smushed.
Smushed?
By a giant steamroller.
Oh. Mm, your dream, right? Well, honey, I have no plans on being smushed anytime soon.
Let’s get a move on, Rach.
I have to go, Dad. Bye, Daddy.
Bye. Hey. I’ll see you soon, OK?
OK.
OK.
Bye, Grandma.
Bye, sweet girl.
All right. Take care, Marlena. Brady.
She was…pretty upset when she arrived.
All kids have nightmares.
Is there any reason she should be worried about you?
Besides never seeing me?
Among other things.
[sighs] I’ve been a little worried about you myself.
I mean, you’ve been coming home very late recently. And John and I, you know, came in and saw that you had parked in our space. And I was glad to see that you were home so early last night.
Yeah. Well, someone was parked in my space. So I–I can move it if you want me to.
No, no. No need.
OK. How’s Dad? How is he, anyway?
Well, he’s doing OK. I need to get him his pain pill. I’ll be right back.
OK.
You know what I’m thinking?
Mm-mm. What are you thinking in there?
[laughs] We should take this back to my place.
Hmm.
Yeah, maybe. Well, I’d like to. I got to–I got to go home.
Why?
Because my family, they need me.
[scoffs] OK, Mr. Family Man. One more for the road, then?
[phone rings]
Hello.
What the hell happened last night?
Hey. Commissioner Hunter would like to ask Sarah some questions.
Mm.
Is that all right, darling?
Yeah.
I’ll make it quick. Sarah, please tell me, what do you remember from last night?
I was walking to my car. And I heard the sound of an engine, and I turned to look. And then the next thing I knew, I was on the ground.
Did you see the car?
I think it was gray.
Anything distinctive about it?
No, not that I remember.
What about the driver?
The lights were just so bright. I didn’t see anything.
What do you mean, what happened last night? Don’t you remember?
I remember being with you at Small Bar. I remember having drinks. And then the next thing I remember is waking up in my car, behind the wheel.
Do you know how I got home?
Forgive me, Brady. But if my son finds out that your car was the one that hit Sarah, he cannot find out that I was the one driving it.
So…let’s get you into the driver’s seat.
I truly pray that no one finds out what we did. But if they do, better that you take the fall than me.
I don’t remember driving home.
Well, if you woke up in your garage, you must have. I tried to make you take a cab, but you said you were fine to drive.
Yeah, well, clearly, I wasn’t.
I took a cab myself back to the Salem Inn.
[sighs] I mean falling off the wagon is one thing, but driving drunk?
Look, Brady, I’m sorry, but I can’t talk right now. Sarah’s been in an accident.
Sarah? Is she–
[line clicks]
[groans] * *
[tires screeching, car crashing] – [screams]
I’m sorry I can’t remember more.
Hey, it’s all right, love.
Don’t worry, sweetheart.
You focus on your recovery, OK? We are going to do everything we can to find the person who did this.
Thank you.
Take care, Sarah.
Hey, are you cold?
Yeah, k–yeah, kind of. There’s another blanket up there.
I’ll get it. I’ll get it.
Thanks.
Hello. Sarah. How are you feeling?
Sleepy.
Shivering.
Well, that’s a common side effect after anesthesia. But we have warm blankets we can get for you if this one doesn’t do the trick, OK?
There, is that better?
Is what better?
I gave you another blanket, darling.
Oh. I didn’t feel it.
Xander…
I can’t feel your hand.
I can’t feel anything.
Rachel Isabella, I can’t believe you’re still hungry after eating all those pancakes.
I threw them in the trash.
[light music]
You did?
I love Grandma, but she can’t even make cereal taste good.
Well, if it isn’t Ms. Rachel Black.
How do you know my name?
I make it a point to know all of my constituents, especially the ones that write to me, telling me how they’re going to take my job.
What? So you want to be mayor of Salem, huh? [chuckles]
Well, she’s rich.
[laughs] Not from being mayor, I can assure you of that.
[chuckles] Isn’t it a little early for out being politicking?
Mm, actually, I was just checking in on a police investigation.
Oh, you know, I saw that, the crime scene tape. What happened?
It was a hit-and-run.
Oh, God. You know what? Would you mind putting these back on for just a little bit?
I can watch one of my shows.
Yes. [chuckles]
Sarah Horton was the victim. She was seriously injured.
Oh, my God, that’s terrible.
Mm-hmm.
Are there any leads?
They think it was a gray car and that the driver was drunk. Oh, you can never be too careful out here.
Very true. Well…
You can take them out now.
[chuckles] Well, good luck with your mayoral aspirations, Rachel. And, you know, although you could just start with class president, huh?
Maybe. [laughter]
It’s nice to see you both.
You too, Mayor. Oh. [sighs]
It’s gonna be hard for the cops to find that driver.
You were listening to the whole thing?
You were talking pretty loud.
Oh. Well, I mean, why do you think that they won’t catch the person who did it?
‘Cause lots of people have gray cars, even Daddy.
[sighs]
Brady, have you heard from Xander this morning?
No. Don’t expect to either. Why?
Well, your dad and I were just listening to the news, and it seems that Sarah is in the hospital. She was hit by a car last night.
Oh, God. That’s really awful.
It is awful. What’s even worse is that the driver left the scene.
[sighs]
[dramatic music]
So did my daughter-in-law remember anything about the person that hit her?
Unfortunately, Sarah was blinded by the car’s headlights, so she didn’t see who hit her.
Yes. That is unfortunate.
What do you mean, you can’t feel anything?
Everything is kind of numb from the waist down.
I assume I had a spinal, right? That should wear off soon.
Right. Can you move your legs at all?
No. But my spinal series was clear, right?
Absolutely. Well, let me check your reflexes, OK?
What do you feel?
Nothing. Nothing at all.
