[Jax Stewart] Previously on Reasonable Doubt...

Mommy, did you kill Wendy?

I don't wanna be here anymore.

He is about to testify, and he's saying that after the two of you got high,

he drove you to the cabin to see Wendy the night she was murdered.

Ozzie, how could you do--

No, you stay the fuck away from him, Monica.

I wasn't talking to you. This is all your fault, Jax!

Bill, we're going to be acquired by another firm,

but Jax doesn't play well with others.

I'm about to go through a very expensive divorce,

which means I need this money and this win more than anyone.

I know I've been a dick, alright,

but that's just because my girl is pregnant.

You have a sister. Her name is Chelsea.

-Did you get the money? -No.

You care more about scoring points with the good daughter.

Stay away from Jax.

Jax needs to know that Eddie isn't who he says he is.

[Kristin Edwards] I hope the truth comes out, but this can't be fixed.

Forgive me.

[Daniel Kim] Hey.

Kristin, did you kill Wendy?

-[Kristin breathes uneasily] -[cell phone ringing]

You should probably get that.

No, nothing else matters right now. Kristin, did you kill her?

You know what, Daniel? I'll...

I'll tell you everything that happened.

Okay, but she's not a pain in the ass.

She's a rock star. I mean, look in that room.

We just won one of the biggest cases that this firm has ever had,

Did Kristin say why she brought Wendy up to the cabin in the first place?

Wendy went to the Edwards' house after her fight with Ozzie,

threatening to expose the entire family for everything,

but things got out of hand.

Wendy hit her head on a table in the foyer.

And Kristin didn't want her parents to see, so she, um...

drove Wendy unconscious to the cabin

to threaten her to stay quiet.

Oh, wow.

but dealing with this political bullshit within my firm was...

It was a lot.

Yeah.

What?

Look, the, um... [clears throat]

...last time I was in LA, I got drinks with Stephen and Vince, and, um...

Look, I didn't want to tell you this

because you were right in the middle of Ozzie's trial.

Tell me what?

They offered me a position at the firm.

And when I declined it, they assumed that I didn't accept it because of you.

But I told 'em I love working with you,

and I love being in Chicago, both of which are true.

Okay. Then what happened?

They were willing to offer you a buyout to bring me on.

But I'm an equity partner.

You would be coming in as a junior partner

with a much lower billable rate.

Bringing you in to replace me doesn't even make financial sense.

Look, I know. I don't even care, quite honestly,

because I knew I wasn't gonna accept it.

And that's why I haven't stepped foot back into their office.

Yeah, I saw you on TV.

Right. You know, every time someone says it, I'm like, "Wait, what?"

Actually forget the cameras are even there.

I'd be freaked out. I don't like talking in front of people.

I didn't used to either, but I got used to it.

Probably not the best combination.

Okay, Jax Stewart.

Let me find out you a baddie.

Ooh, I was.

But now I'm just trying to keep it together.

Shoot, it's harder than it looks.

-[Jax chuckles] -Same, girl, same.

I'm sorry, I need to tell you this,

because I just think you deserve to know the truth.

And the truth is Eddie had a plan.

Get close to you, gain your trust, and...

get some money from you.

When he found out your mom was sick,

he put the plan on pause until she went into remission.

-[Jax] Hmm. -I didn't wanna be involved,

so he kept us apart.

So, you're saying that for the last few months,

Eddie's been running a con?

And you knew about this? And me the whole time?

And... why are you even telling me now?

Because, fuck, Jax, I-I wanna have a relationship with you.

Why? You don't know me.

I don't, but I want to. I-I want a sister.

I don't have anybody else.

Just a dad who's disappointed me my entire life.

Because every time I reached out to you...

if this is the next place I would find you.

I'm sorry you had a disease that took over your life,

made you abandon your family, your friends,

everything and everyone you've ever loved.

Hi. We are so sorry for your loss.

Thank you.

-I'll be back in a little bit, babe. -Okay.

Can I ask you something?

Why did he go to your house?

I invited him over for dinner.

So did I.

I see.

Well, I guess in the end, you won.

I'm sorry, w... What did I win?

Well, in Orsel's happiest moments, he chose to celebrate with you.

It's just something I'm going to have to live with, I suppose.

He didn't choose me, or you.

He chose drugs.

Because at the end of the day, he was an addict.

So, there are no winners here.

We all lost something, especially Ozzie.

[speaker] Mrs. Edwards.

My name is Jonathan Barrow.

I'm a producer over at CMB.

I am so sorry for your loss.

But do you have a moment to talk?

-Thanks. -[server] Mm-hmm.

Kristin.

-I'd ask you how you're doing, but-- -No, it's fine, really.

Listen, Daniel told me what happened that night.

Kristin, I saw firsthand

how much you cared for and protected your brother.

Why didn't you come forward sooner?

I was scared, and I...

I thought Ozzie would be okay, since I knew we were the innocent ones.

The innocent ones?

Oh, my God.

You didn't do it.

You didn't kill Wendy.

I-I-I don't know what you're talking about.

The closer we got to the end of that trial,

the more real Ozzie going to prison felt,

which is why you gave that bullshit confession to Daniel.

Because deep down inside, you believe this is your fault.

Take care of Ozzie. Protect the family. That is your purpose.

Kristin... now is the time to tell me what really happened.

♪♪

[Kristin] Dad, hey.

Can we talk?

[Sal Edwards] Kristin, now's not the time.

Then when is the time?

Look, it's been months, and you won't even acknowledge what happened.

Why did you let Ozzie go through all this?

Jesus Christ, stop talking.

I think we should come clean.

About what?

About what happened to Wendy.

There are still people out there who think that Ozzie killed her.

After everything that happened, is that, is that what you want his legacy to be?

Legacy?

Our legacy's gone to shit ever since you failed at your only job,

protect Ozzie.

Hell, I'm the only one who had my eyes on the prize.

And what did I get from you, your mama, Monica?

Problems. A-a studio problem, a-an agent problem,

a fucking Wendy problem that none of you bitches could fix, so I fixed it.

I shut her up, and I-I-I can't even get a thank you.

-What's the occasion? -[Vince] Mm.

Billable Bill here just made partner.

Well, he certainly proved himself in the Edwards trial,

and we're happy to welcome him into the ranks.

But all because of you, Jax.

And this decision has been made and finalized

prior to a partners vote or meeting?

Well, we still have to meet officially, but the writing's on the wall.

Especially with the pending acquisition of BHS

by Goldwynn and Carson.

Acquisition?

Wow. Two surprises in one day. Why wasn't I looped in?

Well, as you know, these deals typically involve fewer managing partners,

and so we had to keep things under wraps.

-Hmm. -[Vince] But don't worry.

While not all partners will be retained in the acquisition,

BHS will always be your home.

After all, you can't spell "success" without the S, right?

Good to know. Excuse me.

I'll be right back.

Truly.

And that they need to start showing you the respect that you deserve.

So, you tried to convince the men that I've worked alongside for years

to finally give me the respect they should've given me all along?

And you want what? A cookie?

Huh?

Yeah. They can have that.

And so can you... partner.

You know, this-this fake-ass militant thing you're doing

is just a cover for the trash-ass, self-hating excuse

of a Black man that you are.

And the funny thing is that you think you're not

because you figured out some loophole in the system.

When the truth is, you're doing their dirty work

by stabbing an actual hardworking Black man in the back

to get ahead or a check to play solitaire,

whatever the hell you do around here.

So, yeah...

I am a company man.

That's why I've tracked every incompetent, incomplete assignment,

every deceit connected to your employment while allowing you to think

you actually bring value to me or this team.
