00:00Previously on Reasonable Doubt
00:02Hollywood stylist Wendy Collins has been reported missing
00:06Why the fuck is everyone looking at me like it's my fault?
00:08Or like I did something?
00:09Is there someone who can corroborate your whereabouts?
00:12You are a person of interest in a missing persons case
00:14That is getting bigger by the hour
00:16Anyone would have reason to believe that it could turn into a homicide investigation
00:19Adorable
00:20I did not know that your wife was black
00:23Video has surfaced of Ozzy and Wendy in a domestic dispute
00:26Is that the reason he isn't here with you tonight?
00:28So I have this new client, maybe you'd like to help out?
00:30Hell yeah
00:31They found Wendy's body
00:32They also found the bullet that killed Wendy
00:34It's a match to a gun that's registered to you
00:37We gotta talk
00:38I am heading to the DA's office now to negotiate your arrest
00:41Hi baby
00:42Hey daddy
00:44May I come in?
00:58Um, sure
01:01Okay, I guess
01:02Hey
01:05Lewis, it's been a long time
01:14Um, dad, why are you here?
01:21I got a steady gig with the live band over at the jazz lounge for the next few months
01:26So I was thinking, you know, maybe you and Lewis could come to the show
01:30And we could grab a bite before
01:32They got some nice restaurants down on Market Street
01:35Okay, stop
01:35I haven't seen you in over eight years
01:40The last few times you were in town, you ghosted me
01:43But now you show up at my door and you expect me to just kiki with you
01:47And shake my head at your little gig
01:48Like you're Jimi Hendrix and not my drug addicted deadbeat father
01:52Well, first of all
01:54I've been clean for about five years now
01:56And secondly, I play bass guitar
01:59So I'll be more Ron Carter than Jimi Hendrix
02:02Okay
02:03Does mom know you're here?
02:06Yeah, she knows we've been talking
02:08About what?
02:09Listen
02:13I'm staying down at the Coral Hotel
02:16I really love to explain things and make up for, well, everything
02:25Just one meal
02:27Or even coffee
02:29That's all I'm asking
02:31Eddie, you said your piece
02:33Now it's time for you to leave
02:34Dad, wait
02:46Okay, so I too then have a request
02:51Next time you think about stopping by
02:54Don't
02:56Are you okay?
03:04Yeah
03:05Yeah, why wouldn't it be?
03:07I'm not gonna let him ruin our day
03:08I'm gonna go get my purse
03:09And we're gonna go have breakfast
03:10Just like we planned
03:12Let's go get it
03:12Let's go get it
03:13Let's go get it
03:15I don't know.
03:45I don't know.
04:15God pulled me down black and brown in a city of dreams.
04:19It's all us.
04:20God pulled me down black and brown in a city of New York City of New York City of New York City of New York City of New York City of New York City.
04:25I don't know.
04:31Jax, where are we with the Ozzie Edwards case?
04:33Well, as you all know, Ozzie turned himself in a few weeks ago, which, despite the state's insistence that he remain in jail, was a huge factor in Judge Williams' decision to grant Ozzie bail.
04:43It was a bail amount.
04:44No bail?
04:46Your Honor, Mr. Edwards poses no risk of harm to the community.
04:50He is not a flight risk, and he has no criminal record or law enforcement contacts.
04:55The court agrees that Mr. Edwards is not a flight risk or a threat to society.
04:59But the standard $2 million for bail is not enough to reflect the seriousness of this crime.
05:04Bail is at $5 million.
05:05That's not exactly a win.
05:09Well, given he's at home, I'd say it is.
05:11The $5 million is chump change for Mr. Pow-Pow.
05:15He must be relieved to have his freedom.
05:16You would think, but...
05:18Yo, Ozzie! Hey, Ozzie!
05:19Ozzie, what's going on with the film Toro?
05:21Heard you're up for it, but word is they cast Caleb McLaughlin.
05:24It's good for him, but I'm focused on proving my assets.
05:27Hey, what was the last thing you said to Wendy?
05:29What's the Pow-Pow gotcha?
05:33Mr. Edwards was simply grabbing a bite to eat.
05:35While trying to avoid the paparazzi.
05:37Instead, he assaulted them.
05:39They were taunting him, as they do every time he leaves the house.
05:42Then maybe Mr. Edwards shouldn't leave the house.
05:47House arrest.
05:49Yes. Not Bill's best moment.
05:51Yikes.
05:52Well, at least now you can control Ozzie's whereabouts, right?
05:54That's what we thought.
05:55You went to the community center.
05:57I went to the community center, which is inside my gated community.
06:02How is that leaving?
06:03Okay, if you walk out of that front door and into the streets without the judge's permission,
06:06then you are violating your house arrest.
06:09Okay, well, that doesn't sound fair.
06:11Oh.
06:12Your Honor, my client did not fully comprehend the scope and restrictions of his house arrest at the outset,
06:18but I can assure you he does now.
06:21Good.
06:21Hate to see his bail revoked.
06:23You think you slick by not pushing to get Ozzie's bail revoked?
06:28That's up to Judge Williams, not the state.
06:31Please, I think you want him to stay out of jail.
06:33More ways for him to fuck up, publicly, in front of potential jurors.
06:37Why win the battle when you can win the war?
06:39So if Lucy was playing checkers...
06:43Chad is playing chess.
06:45Yes.
06:45But at the end of the day, their evidence is weak.
06:49And our strategy is simple.
06:51Proximity does not equal guilt.
06:53Finding Wendy's body near Ozzie's cabin means nothing.
06:57We'll establish that others had access to it and his gun
07:00and introduce them as alternative suspects to confirm that he wasn't even there that night.
07:05As for the DNA and scratches?
07:07Easily explained by a prior consensual encounter.
07:10Being a freak ain't against the law.
07:12The case amounts to perception control.
07:15My goal before the trial starts is to plant seeds of doubt in the press
07:19to ensure that Ozzie is seen as a victim of circumstantial evidence.
07:23Not a killer.
07:25Checkmate.
07:26Very nice.
07:28Well, keep us posted on Bill's performance and the case.
07:32I don't usually check in once a trial of this caliber starts.
07:37We just want to be more looped in.
07:39I mean, after all, this is a big case and all eyes are on us.
07:43Us being the firm.
07:46Right.
07:48Sure.
07:50Do my best.
07:51What are you two looking at?
08:14Ozzie.
08:15Your boy can't help himself.
08:17What now?
08:18Oh.
08:18Is he posting these?
08:27Yeah.
08:28Yeah.
08:28And the comments are already going in.
08:30One said, what in the child star?
08:32Oh, he need a pow pow on that ass.
08:34Oh, hashtag six pack killer.
08:37Yeah.
08:37The internet remains undefeated.
08:39Yeah.
08:39Well, Ozzie's going to find himself defeated in court if he doesn't stop poisoning the jury pool.
08:44Isn't his sister Kristen supposed to be with him?
08:46I mean, clearly, she can't control him.
08:48Clearly.
08:49Besides his house arrest thirst traps, Ozzie's elusiveness and shaky ass alibi are not helping
08:55us help him.
08:56You know, I need someone who can watch him while also getting information about him.
09:04Hmm.
09:06No, no, no, no.
09:08I am a highly respected investigator.
09:10I am not a babysitter.
09:11I'm not asking you to babysit, but to observe, discipline, entertain.
09:16Oh, I'm good.
09:18No, you just define babysitter.
09:20Okay.
09:20Call it what you want, but I need someone to make sure that one, he doesn't keep posting
09:24things like that, and two, find out what's up with him, his family, all of it.
09:29Look, I cannot control things I do not understand.
09:32Thanks, Daniel.
09:33Love you.
09:34You're the best.
09:35Oh, love you.
09:38Best.
09:38You need to stop.
09:40You just keep calling me the best, and I will be your best.
09:45Ew.
09:46I'd never want to hear you say that, ever.
09:48Oh, okay.
09:50Definitely.
09:53Maima, what are you doing?
09:56What, I can't window shop?
09:57Yeah, you can, but like, Curly Pop, you've got to dream bigger.
10:01Oh, gee, look at that purse.
10:03Yes.
10:04Yes, that is fire.
10:05I mean, yeah, but it costs like a gajillion dollars.
10:09Don't be so dramatic.
10:12Oh, we're just kidding.
10:13None of us could afford it anyway.
10:16Oh, but you know what would be fun?
10:19Oh, my God, yes.
10:22Naima, truth or dare?
10:24But pick dare.
10:25Just trust.
10:27Okay?
10:29One of them days, huh?
10:31Huh?
10:35Client, colleague, or partner.
10:38Partners.
10:41Steven, Vince, even Kathy gave me a side eye.
10:44Damn.
10:46I mean, clearly this isn't my first rodeo, but this just feels different.
10:49Like I'm being watched in a way like they don't trust me.
10:53Like, don't slip up or else.
10:55I mean, you would think that I've built up enough trust by now, you know?
10:59I mean, hell, my name is on the building.
11:01Mm.
11:03Now, I am sure you are right about being scrutinized.
11:08But do you think it's possible you may be, you know, a little more sensitive because your
11:12dad's out of the blue pop-up?
11:13Like, it's affecting you more than you realize?
11:16Have you talked to him at all?
11:18What?
11:18No.
11:20And this isn't about him.
11:21This is about work.
11:22It just feels like the partners are having doubts about me.
11:25And I don't like that.
11:26Well, I think they're being ridiculous, and they don't know what they got.
11:34But you know who does?
11:36Mm-hmm.
11:37This nigga right here.
11:39Come here.
11:39You better come here.
11:54Mr. Jack Stewart.
11:55Is it Stewart?
11:56This is Officer Douglas with the LAPD.
11:58Which client is this regarding?
12:00Naima Stewart, your daughter.
12:03She's been arrested and is in custody down here at the station.
12:19Naima!
12:20I mean, stealing?
12:23Skipping school?
12:24I'll gather her belongings and a few documents for you to sign, and she'll be free to go.
12:29It was a stupid dare.
12:31Do you understand the severity of this?
12:33Do you?
12:34You're only sitting here and not behind bars because you're my daughter and I know people.
12:39Naima, you are black and committed a crime.
12:40This is not a game.
12:41You need to start talking.
12:42What happened?
12:43Well, Simone, Brenda, and I wanted In-N-Out, so we left during free period.
12:47And on our way back to campus, we stopped at the store and they dared me to take a purse.
12:52And where are your friends, Brenda and Simone?
12:56I mean, they left from the store clerk's office.
12:58Yeah, right.
12:59Right.
12:59Exactly.
13:00Some friends.
13:01Okay.
13:02Okay.
13:02Listen to me, baby, okay?
13:07This can go one of two ways.
13:09Either this is a silly mistake that we never have to deal with again, or this is the beginning
13:15of your movie where you go down a path of allowing other people to dictate your future
13:20and you end up right back here.
13:22Either way, you're on punishment.
13:24I'm sorry.
13:25Yeah, I bet.
13:26Let's go.
13:31I'm sorry.
13:32I bet you're really sorry now.
13:42Ah, okay.
13:43Do you hear the screams, though?
13:45Yes, I do hear the screams.
13:48Check it out.
13:48Oh, no, I'm okay.
13:51Is this normal for your brother?
13:55Weed plus early 2000 hits makes him dance sometimes.
13:59That, you know, actors can be eclectic.
14:12He's a lot sometimes.
14:15And look, I know his lawyer wanted somebody here to watch him, but I promise you, you don't
14:20have to be here.
14:21I'll make sure he doesn't get into any more trouble.
14:23But you think I want to be here?
14:26I am a man of adventure.
14:27I belong on the streets.
14:29Fine.
14:30But I don't want someone here who's going to judge my brother.
14:33Or me.
14:33My job is babysitting a grown man doing that to Cisco, so, you know, I won't be judging
14:40you.
14:44One second.
14:44Daniel can babysitter.
14:49Hey, Daniel, what's up with Ozzy?
14:51He is currently having a dance party of one in his room.
14:55Looks crazy, but nothing dangerous.
14:58Okay, and how's his sister?
14:59Protective and present.
15:02As long as he's not posting his dance party, we're good.
15:04Let me know if anything changes.
15:06Okay.
15:07Who's the best?
15:09Hello?
15:09You're welcome.
15:12A shoplifting?
15:14Oh, that sounds more like Spencer than Naima.
15:17Mm.
15:18No offense.
15:19No, hey, sadly, you are not wrong.
15:21And you still haven't talked to your father?
15:22Mom?
15:23Should I take this?
15:25You can leave it.
15:28Hi, Jackson.
15:30Lou?
15:31Lewis?
15:32Dad, what are you doing here?
15:33I invited him.
15:35I think it's a good idea for us to break bread while I explain a few things.
15:39So, please, can we?
15:51When Kevin moved to Colorado a few months ago, it made me think about my life.
15:58Probably because I was alone again.
16:01And I thought about everything that happened with your father.
16:05How much fun we had together as friends during our marriage.
16:10The only thing that got in the way of our happily ever after was his addiction, which is why Eddie is here.
16:19Hold on.
16:20Stop.
16:20Stop.
16:21The last time Dad reached out to me, you interfered saying that he was not to be trusted.
16:26But now that your boyfriend moved away, you want me to just let him back into my life?
16:29He deserves a chance to have a relationship with you and with his grandchildren.
16:34I didn't have the ability to empathize with his situation then because...
16:40Well, you'll see.
16:42When you get older, your perspective changes.
16:45So now I want to give him a chance for redemption and to see what happens when I'm not trying to keep him from his family.
16:53Wow.
16:53Well, you weren't the only one who kept Dad away.
16:58Dad kept himself away.
17:00You're right.
17:01I don't want to make any excuses.
17:03Nor do I need to hear them.
17:04I'm numb to your excuses at this point.
17:06My need for a father has faded.
17:08I know you don't need me.
17:10And honestly, that makes me happy.
17:13I'm so proud of the woman you've become.
17:16The guilt I've felt for not being in your life all these years, I can't explain it.
17:20Or apologize enough for it.
17:23But as much as I appreciate your mother's empathy for me, I'm not expecting any from you.
17:29Kicking addiction is a journey, not a destination.
17:33I'm just asking for you not to give up on me before I get to the end of the road.
17:50Your call has been forwarded to an automatic voice message system.
18:11At the tone, please...
18:12I can never be a friend of a foe when I fold at the side of an eye, you up text.
18:19Now I know what I gotta do next.
18:21Cause I'm like, I'm a little obsessed.
18:23True, yeah, until I let it slide.
18:25Electric.
18:26Now I got you blocked like it's Tetris.
18:28And I won't only get you where the check is.
18:30If I look at all the baggage that's just deadlift.
18:32Then you ain't gotta tell me what attached is.
18:33I guess I really went up on my match, yeah.
18:35I ain't never gonna let you bring me wrong.
18:38Cause even when you let me down, I won't.
18:40So, when you aren't camped out in condos playing watchdog, what lights your fire?
18:49You look like someone who has hobbies.
18:51Plural.
18:52Well, actually just one.
18:56Horology.
18:58Okay, that's either something really nerdy or really creepy.
19:01Okay, definitely the former.
19:02It's the art of making, fixing, collecting clocks and watches.
19:09Oh, wow.
19:10How did you get into that?
19:13Um, well, my, my grandfather, he was actually a brilliant watchmaker.
19:18And when we'd go visit him in Korea, he would actually take me to his shop, uh, sit me down next to him, take apart the watch, and just challenge me to reassemble it.
19:31And, of course, I was horrible at it at first, but he taught me, and eventually, I got pretty damn good at it.
19:44Wow.
19:45Wait, did you think it was going to be something creepy?
19:49Am I giving off creepy vibes?
19:51I was hoping it wasn't, but there's a fine line between downtown grifter in a white van and cute silver lake nerd in a white Prius.
20:00Oh, shit.
20:15Wait, what, what happened?
20:17He overdosed.
20:19Should we call 911?
20:20I got it.
20:26Oh, shit.
20:27Hey, Jax, we've got a problem.
20:37Can somebody tell me how the fuck this happened?
20:46I thought he'd been clean since rehab.
20:48How the hell did he get pills?
20:49Wait, rehab?
20:51Wish I could just make him stop.
20:52He'll stop when he's dead.
20:54Wow.
20:55Why would you say that?
20:56Okay, stop for a second.
20:58How long has Ozzy been an addict?
20:59Dr. Gardner, thank you.
21:05Thank you again for coming out so quickly.
21:07It's been a long road for Ozzy.
21:08I'm always happy to help.
21:10With some rest, Ozzy should recover soon, thanks to Kristen's actions.
21:15Can I see him?
21:17Yes, but only for a little bit.
21:19Then try to let him sleep.
21:23Doctor, I'm glad to know that Ozzy is doing better,
21:26but wouldn't you recommend that he stay overnight in the hospital to monitor his recovery?
21:30All that'll do is bring bad press, none of which we need right now.
21:33Right.
21:33What about what Ozzy needs?
21:36Look, I'm not dismissing your concerns about how imperative it is to protect Ozzy's image,
21:41especially at this time, but he almost died tonight.
21:45So I can get Ozzy help without any media attention.
21:48I've been doing this for a long time.
21:50Yeah, and so have we.
21:53Isn't that right, Dr. Gardner?
21:56Oh, hey, Jax.
22:03Hey, Jax, sorry.
22:05I've got to go to the bathroom before we leave,
22:06but we'll download you on everything later tonight.
22:09Yeah.
22:21Any chance those are the rest of Ozzy's pills you just flushed on the toilet?
22:24I thought I told you not to judge.
22:26No, no, no, it's not a judgment.
22:27It's a question.
22:29Kind of a legal one at that.
22:30When Ozzy wants something, he finds a way to get it.
22:33He doesn't give a shit about the who or the where.
22:37Ozzy hadn't touched a drug in years.
22:40With all the shit that's happening to him now, it's too much.
22:43He succumbed.
22:43And now they're cutting fentanyl and everything these days, so if I could at least get him the drugs from the source that I know is legit, there's a much better chance that he won't die.
22:56Why do you have to do that?
22:58Why don't you and your family just get him the help he needs?
23:00Hey, I've been in the Ozzy Edwards business a lot longer than you have.
23:05Yes, I got him the pills, but I was also the one who then afterwards went to the library and got him the Narcan so you can judge me all you want.
23:13But I kept him alive.
23:16I'm doing my job.
23:18Now you do yours.
23:32Yo, Crystal, is Jackson?
23:34She's in the partners' meeting.
23:36Uh, okay.
23:38I'll wait.
23:39Well.
23:43You're oddly quiet.
23:50I am?
23:51Yeah, I'm low-key, I'm uncomfortable.
23:53What's wrong?
23:57Nothing.
23:59You sure?
24:07Okay, I met a girl, and she's kind of cool, but she's kind of nerdy, and she's really pretty, but she's also pretty.
24:13She's not so kind of mean, which I know has a turn-on for most men, but not for me, nuh-uh.
24:16I like a girl who says thank you when I open the door and bless you when I sneeze, so, no.
24:20I don't know why I can't stop thinking about her.
24:24Oh, wow.
24:25This is fascinating.
24:27Wait, why?
24:28Well, because, usually you're all, yeah, my girlfriend who I went out with two times just ghosted me, but this time you actually sound like a real human, which means...
24:36Oh, damn it.
24:37No, that means I like her.
24:38Why are you so mad?
24:39Who is she?
24:39Ah, she's somebody that I see a lot in my building.
24:45I, if I make it weird or awkward, then I'm gonna have to see her all the time, so...
24:51Mm, well, that makes sense.
24:53Yeah.
24:54But love is a risk.
24:55I say go for it.
24:56It is not love.
24:58I, I, I'm not in love.
24:59Okay, yeah, you're not in love.
25:01No, Chris, I'm not in love.
25:02Okay.
25:03Okay, you know what?
25:04I, no, I'm, just tell Jax to call me, okay?
25:09All right.
25:10Oh, you're...
25:11Do not sing.
25:12It's your...
25:14It's the prosecution's only eyewitness completely shit the bag in court the other day.
25:19Either way, I'm feeling pretty good that Mr. Fish will go home a free man.
25:23Another win for BHS.
25:26Great work, Kathy.
25:27Great work.
25:29Jax, how's the Edwards case going?
25:31Um, since Friday?
25:34Yeah.
25:35Any updates?
25:36Well, there, there is one, actually, but it's a bit of a private matter.
25:40I didn't want to bring it up during the meeting, but we can discuss it later.
25:44Well, technically, everything we discuss in here is private, so...
25:48Well, shit, now I gotta know.
25:49I mean, sharing is caring, am I right?
25:52This isn't some gossip for you to laugh about later with your frat boys.
25:56This is someone's life.
25:59A life they've decided to trust me with.
26:01In confidence.
26:02So, no, Vince, when it comes to me and my clients, emphasis on the my, sharing is, in
26:07fact, the opposite of caring.
26:08What makes you think you can do whatever the fuck you want?
26:14I'm sorry, what?
26:15I said...
26:16No, I, I heard you, Kathy, loudly.
26:18I'm just trying to figure out what makes you think you can talk to me like that.
26:21When I'm your superior, I could very easily...
26:23Let's just take the temperature down a little bit, ladies.
26:27Kathy, apologize for what you said.
26:30Then, I'm sorry, but you're gonna have to report to HR.
26:34Yes, immediately.
26:36Fine.
26:37I'm sorry, but I was just saying what we all are thinking.
26:42Wow.
26:42Is this true?
26:43The fact that you think that being the only black woman, actually black person, in this
26:58room, allows me to do whatever the hell I want, is truly delusional.
27:03And to say it out loud is diabolical.
27:07You know, I continue to be questioned about this case, despite the fact that I bill more
27:13hours than anyone in this room at a higher hourly rate.
27:18You know what?
27:19I'm not gonna sit here and tap dance for y'all.
27:21If you have any questions, check the firm's letterhead.
27:25That should answer all the questions you have.
27:27It's never what you say, it's always what you say.
27:49It's never what you want, but always what you need.
27:55Thank you for coming.
28:19Ozzy.
28:25Hi, I'm Dr. Owens.
28:27Can we talk?
28:30Sure.
28:30Have you ever been to therapy?
28:57Yeah.
28:57Was there a specific reason?
29:00Studio mandated after an incident on set.
29:05Oh, what kind of incident?
29:08How long have you been a therapist?
29:10Almost 15 years.
29:12Is that important to you?
29:14It's just a question.
29:16Okay, I see.
29:18Ozzy, I know this wasn't your idea, but I'd like for you to look at this as an opportunity.
29:23An opportunity to do what?
29:25To express how you're feeling.
29:27Without judgment or ridicule or fear of retribution, this is a safe space.
29:34Safe space.
29:36Why do you find that funny?
29:38Well, because I don't believe you.
29:40Why is that?
29:40Because there's no such thing as a safe space.
29:43I haven't been in a safe space since I slept in a crib.
29:47Is that because you became famous at a young age or because things happened on set?
29:53Dr. Owens, have you ever seen my show?
29:56My Cousins and No?
29:57A few episodes here and there.
29:59Oh, so what are you like?
30:00One of those people who doesn't really watch TV?
30:02Oh, no.
30:03I watch TV.
30:04Just not your show.
30:05It's not personal.
30:06It's just not my taste.
30:07Oh, okay.
30:08So what is your taste?
30:14Does that usually work for you?
30:16I don't know what you're talking about.
30:17Yes, you do.
30:19You are using charm to deflect my questions.
30:23Is it working?
30:24No.
30:28Tell me about the first time you did drugs.
30:35Well, it was gradual.
30:39Not all at once.
30:41Like caffeine at eight years old to stay awake to work.
30:47Later that turned into uppers.
30:49Then the opposite.
30:50You know, pills for me to get to sleep.
30:53There was always a pill for something.
30:56To be fun at parties or whatever.
31:01I was constantly handed pills.
31:04Next thing I know, I'm shooting myself with heroin.
31:09So began the cycle of rehab.
31:14But you had been clean for some time up until recently, right?
31:17Yeah.
31:20A little over two years.
31:23When I met Wendy, she pushed me to clean myself up.
31:31And when we started dating, she helped me stay clean.
31:38God, I miss her.
31:40So I'm assuming that Wendy's death made you start again.
31:43Amongst other things.
31:44When you're sitting in the back of a police car charged with murder, you start to, you start to think about the future.
31:53Past.
31:56Well, some things came up for me that, honestly, I haven't thought about in a long time.
32:03Like what?
32:04I spent a lot of time in places and situations that, you know, kids shouldn't be in.
32:14Well, you start to wonder if some of the things that happened should have happened.
32:22I don't know.
32:23And the drugs helped you not dwell on those thoughts before?
32:26Yeah.
32:27Guess I blocked out some of the wild things that happened around adults while I was on pills as a kid.
32:34Are you saying that you were abused?
32:38See, abuse is what makes it sound like it was all bad.
32:42It was consensual.
32:43And if I'm keeping it a hundred, I enjoyed it.
32:51If the events that occurred between an adult and child were sexual, then the imbalance of power and your inability to consent makes it sexual abuse.
33:02And keeping it a hundred, that is a crime.
33:04Good talking to you, Ozzy.
33:15Hope to see you again.
33:16Yeah, me too.
33:17Ozzy, would you mind giving me and Autumn a minute?
33:20Yeah, sure.
33:25Um...
33:29Both.
33:34So?
33:45Carl, you were right.
33:47He has some arrestative ailment, but also, since he did give his consent to share our session with you,
33:53he disclosed that he was sexually abused as a child.
33:57What?
33:59When?
34:00At 13.
34:01By a woman over 30.
34:03Oh, Jesus.
34:05Did he say who?
34:06No, but...
34:08Jax, this young man is more complicated than you can imagine.
34:12He has the abuse, but also the drug addiction.
34:16He's accused of murdering his girlfriend.
34:18It's about to start a very public and arduous trial.
34:22And yet he was still in there trying to charm me.
34:25Well, do you think he has a personality disorder?
34:28I don't think so.
34:30But he's very troubled, and he has no one around him he trusts.
34:33Except you.
34:35Well, that's good.
34:36Yeah.
34:37Until he no longer trusts you, and then...
34:40There's no telling what he does after that.
34:42Hey, let's go, let's go, let's go!
34:54Dad, stop.
34:55What?
34:56You thought you were going to lay in bed for three days just because you got suspended?
34:58I did homework for, like, the past two days.
35:00Why can't I just chill today?
35:01Responsible girls can chill, but jailbirds, who are arrested when they're supposed to
35:05be at school, get to do work detail at my office.
35:08Let's go!
35:09Rise, shine.
35:10Give God the glory, glory, rise.
35:13Shine, that's right.
35:14Give God the glory, glory, rise.
35:16Shine, give God the glory, glory, give...
35:19Where's my fan?
35:20Here we go.
35:21Hey, rise.
35:23Shine, hey, give God the glory, glory, glory.
35:26Let's go!
35:31Bill!
35:33Steven, Vince, I didn't realize you were coming here for lunch.
35:36No, we're not.
35:37We're here to see you.
35:39Got a minute?
35:40You are clearly making productive strides with Jax.
35:44The other day at our partner's meeting, she mentioned how helpful you were with arranging
35:48Ozzy's arrest.
35:49Looks great.
35:50And surprising.
35:52Why do you say that?
35:53She keeps her cards close.
35:54I still feel like I'm on a need-to-know basis with her.
35:57And that's what we wanted to discuss with you.
35:59You see, Jax's cards are getting too close.
36:02We need to see her hand before she plays them.
36:06In poker, we'd call that cheating.
36:07Here's the thing.
36:10There's something big in the works.
36:12Now, we can't divulge any details at this time, but it would be prudent of us to have keen
36:19insight on all of the equity partners, because despite her being worth the headache and the
36:25money...
36:27She can be a pain in the ass.
36:29Precisely.
36:30Precisely.
36:30Precisely.
36:31So, it's important that she's not...
36:33How should I say?
36:34...unnecessarily messy.
36:36She has a history.
36:37And it's not just Vince and me that feel this way.
36:40I mean, why do you think Corey Cash left?
36:42Okay.
36:46How do I play into this?
36:47Usually, Jax works with someone on these big cases that we've been able to talk to.
36:52Tell us a little bit more about how she thinks and, well, quite frankly, how she wins.
36:56Because she's not exactly one to share insights over drinks.
36:59And with Corey and Rich gone, this time around, that person could be you.
37:04I thought you said as long as I butted up to Jax and got on her next case, that would
37:08give me the experience that I needed to make partner.
37:12But this seems like you want me to be a snitch.
37:16No.
37:17We want you to be partner.
37:19The question you have to ask yourself is, what do you want?
37:25Be ashamed to have all those billable bill hours be for nothing.
37:30I agree.
37:32And I won't let you down.
37:34Very good.
37:37See you at the office, buddy.
37:46So what's up with you and these new girls you've been hanging out with?
37:49I mean, they're cool.
37:51They really like me.
37:51It's just that it all happened so fast, and I know it was dumb.
37:55Listen, you don't need anyone else's approval just because they like to...
37:58I know.
37:59I know.
37:59I get it.
38:00But the only reason why I even started becoming friends with them
38:03is because I cannot stand Hattie anymore.
38:06Oh, yeah?
38:07Yeah.
38:09Ever since you joined that new dance team, she thinks she's all that, but she's really
38:13not.
38:13She just got her braces off, and she's been doing all these really weird TikTok dance or
38:18whatever, and she swears that she had this huge glow up.
38:20And it's like, girly pop, calm down.
38:23And the tea is, she makes up all this stuff to keep up with her new friends.
38:27Like, she's such a liar.
38:30And she had the nerve to tell me this one lie, which was, like, seriously crazy work.
38:34Like, she said that when you and mom were separated, that you got her mom pregnant, and then that
38:39the baby that died is actually your baby.
38:41And she was like, we're like sisters, and that was your little brother.
38:45Like, girl, isn't that crazy?
38:47Mm.
38:50Yeah.
38:50Why would she say that?
38:53I don't know.
38:54I don't like when people lie to me, especially when it's about my family.
39:01You know what?
39:02Can I get some of that kombucha, though?
39:04Uh, yeah, yeah.
39:05Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
39:12Oh.
39:20Hey, Jax.
39:30Hey.
39:31You good?
39:33That's funny.
39:35I was just sitting here asking myself that very question.
39:38What's up?
39:39I've spent the last few days trying to figure out why someone below me would think it's
39:43okay to disrespect me in front of my colleagues.
39:46I mean, soft girl era is one thing, but soft-ass bitch is another.
39:49And you're not giving off soft-ass bitch.
39:52Quite the opposite.
39:55Kathy's just a bitch.
39:59Sorry, now she's an unemployed bitch.
40:01As she deserves to be.
40:03But I don't know, maybe it's all this therapy.
40:06But I'm wondering if it's me.
40:08Or how I can blame it on someone else.
40:10Like my selfish mother or my estranged father.
40:14Always go with the daddy issues.
40:15You know, Ozzy OD'd the other day.
40:21Fuck.
40:22Is he...
40:23He's okay.
40:24I mean, he's not okay, but he's alive.
40:26The partners want an update, but it's none of their fucking business.
40:30It's important that our clients know that they can trust us.
40:34Our clients?
40:35Yes.
40:36You're on my team, so it's our clients, not theirs.
40:39In other news, I had Ozzy evaluated by a therapist.
40:44Not just because of the overdose, but also, I'd like to know who I'm dealing with, so I know how to move.
40:51I don't need to know if he's innocent, but what I do need to know is that he could be.
40:55Yeah, makes sense.
40:56However, the one thing I haven't figured out yet is what to do about his addiction.
41:00Despite his senses of delamine, he's not going to make it through this trial if he's sober.
41:06And if he is not...
41:08Maybe we should get him drug tested regularly, too.
41:12That'll stop these surprises.
41:15I'm not mad at that.
41:16Then at least we can monitor that he's okay.
41:19Do you know why I wanted to work with you, Jax?
41:22Because I'm the best.
41:23Well, to answer your question, yes.
41:24There wasn't a question.
41:26Touche.
41:28But no, that's not why.
41:30I was the old guy in law school.
41:33Mid-30s.
41:34Too old to be invited to the cool parties.
41:36Too tired to even want to go.
41:40I didn't get the cultural references from these kids that were, like, 10 years younger than me.
41:46Everyone expected me to either drop out or fail out.
41:50But I did neither.
41:52And I can tell you got people thinking the same thing about you.
41:56And yet, you're still here.
41:58I mean, it's admirable.
42:02Don't you think?
42:05Or ridiculous.
42:08But either way, I appreciate your saying that.
42:12Good night, Jax.
42:13You know, keep up the good work, Bill.
42:18You might make partner after all.
42:20Thank you for returning my call.
42:35So, you wanted me to hear you out.
42:41I'm here.
42:42I thought about this and even practice.
42:46And now I'm speechless.
42:50I, uh...
42:52Fine.
42:53I'll go.
42:55Your disease is not your fault.
42:58You get that?
42:58And maybe one day I can forgive you for not protecting me when I needed to be protected the most.
43:06But right now, I need you to know that if you fuck this up, I'm not the one that's going to be hurt by it.
43:15You are.
43:18So, if you are deciding to know me, then you have to commit to that decision.
43:23If you can't do that, then you might as well just say a few kind words, put down that menu, and keep it pushing.
43:31For good.
43:35Are we clear?
43:39Yes, we are.
43:40It's like we both had a day, huh?
44:02Mm-hmm.
44:07More than you know.
44:09Mm-hmm.
44:10Hattie told Naima about Jake.
44:17What?
44:18How?
44:20Hattie overheard her mom talking on the phone about it.
44:24And Hattie told Naima, who of course didn't believe her, because the news to quote her was seriously crazy work.
44:32That's why Naima started hanging out with her new shoplifting friends.
44:37What did you say after she told you?
44:38Nothing.
44:39I mean, she seemed to accept it as crazy, so I just went with it.
44:46I didn't know what to say.
44:49I saw my dad today.
44:53I think he's hiding something from me.
44:57I don't like it.
44:59Which is why I think that we have to tell the kids about Jaden.
45:04I was afraid you were gonna say that.
45:07You know, it has to be different with our kids, you know, between my dad and seeing Ozzy and his shit.
45:16I mean, these secrets, whether they're big or small, they only cause harm in the end.
45:21And maybe it was wishful thinking that they wouldn't find out.
45:29Spence comes home in two weeks.
45:32Spence comes home in two weeks.
45:33Seems like the best time to do it.
45:35So how are you gonna tell her?
45:38You know, stay on serious.
45:41You know, I'm a for real.
45:46It's gonna be okay.
45:48And if it's not, we'll figure that out too.
45:51Two together
45:53Bill, what the fuck?
46:21Oh, sorry. I just want to talk.
46:24No, I need you to leave.
46:26Kendra, well, at least let me see the kids.
46:30This is ridiculous.
46:32Only to you, Bill.
46:36Good night.
46:51Hey, Jax. What's up?
47:01Hey, I have a theory about Ozzy.
47:03I think he was home the night Wendy went missing, but I don't think he was alone.
47:07Ozzy was clean for over two years.
47:09If the first time he did drugs was that night, then...
47:12Someone brought him the drugs.
47:14Someone that had something to lose if connected to the case.
47:17Mm-hmm.
47:18Could be the sister, but I have to do some more digging.
47:22No, I feel like she would have come forward.
47:24She loves her brother too much to let him drown in all this without a viable alibi.
47:28I think it has to be someone who doesn't want to be known.
47:31Someone who cares more about their own secret than protecting Ozzy's future.
47:35Okay, but who do you think that could be?
47:42Where the fuck have you been?
47:44Busy.
47:45What, you running out of your stash?
47:47Look, I'm done with all that now.
47:50Yeah, you mean until next time.
47:52Okay, listen, I need you to come forward and tell everyone that you were with me.
47:56Well, that means I have to tell the truth.
47:59And I'm not doing that, my guy.
48:02So after everything that I've done for you,
48:03this is how you act.
48:07This ain't my cousins in there.
48:10And you ain't number one on the car sheet, my nigga.
48:14So fuck your alibi.
48:19Pow, pow.
48:21Gotcha.
