Apostrophe with last subject or both subjects?

Hi,

I can't decide if I should use an apostrophe for both subjects here or only for the second subject to indicate joint possession. Could you please help?

The detective spent a lot of time analyzing Harry and Sal's interactions. (Harry's and Sal's interactions or since Harry and Sal have interacted with each other on many occasions, Harry and Sal's for joint possession?)
