Previously on Reasonable Doubt...

BRAYDEN: There's an issue with
a former employee of mine, Kaleesha Moore.

She's claiming I sexually assaulted her.

- Did you rape Kaleesha?

- No.
RICH: Kaleesha's dead.

- What kinda time am I looking at?

JAX:
Anything from 15 years to life.

- He killed her!

- So when you are ready to be an adult,
you let me know.

JAX:
We're separated.

- He is an idiot to let you go.

I'm in love with you.

- I don't want to get a divorce.

Yes, I was seeing someone.

[moaning]

That was a mistake. I want you.

LEWIS:
I need time.

- If I wanted to be treated badly,
I'd have stayed my ass home.

- Get away from the car.

- What the fuck?

KRYSTAL:
Y'all think she murdered Kaleesha?

- I'd hate for you to end up
like your slut wife.

- I mean, it's one of the white people.

- When was the last time
you saw Kaleesha Moore?

- The night before she was found dead.

- You mean the night of her murder?

You ever think about what happened

when I was 16?

I think you were grooming me
the entire fucking time.

- If that's your truth, Jackie,
that's your truth.

I can respect that, but it's not mine.

KRYSTAL:
I told you he did it.

- I know, Krystal. I know.

RICH:
Wait, when you called me the other day,

you said you had a feeling he did it.

What makes you so sure now?

- It was something he said.

And then look at these two signatures.

Look, this is a sympathy card
from Brayden,

and this is Kaleesha's NDA.

Now, the slant on the "M"
in Miller and Moore are the same.

As are the "E's."

- Oh, shit. He guilty.

- As hell. Like I said.

- How did we miss that?

JAX:
Well, it's not our job, it was Mike's.

Lucky for us he missed it.

- Yeah, no kidding.

So Brayden's been lying to us
this whole time.

- Well, that's the part
I'm not sure about.

- What do you mean?

- Well, I can't tell if Brayden's having
a dissociative memory about the event

or if he knows he did it and--

- He's a sociopath.

- That part.

- I don't know which is worse.
- The lying?

I mean, I took this case
because I believed there was no way

Brayden could have killed her
because she signed the NDA.

And now, fuck,
I have to stand up in front of that jury

and act like I don't know
his ass needs to go to prison.

- So what are you gonna do now?

- I'm gonna go bury my stepfather.

[indistinct conversations]

- Are you okay, Mama Lu?

- Yes, baby. Thank you.

- I'm just worried about the kids.

You know, this is the first person
they've known to die.

But Lewis and I,
we talked to 'em about it last night,

you know, about how Paul is in heaven.

- I'm happy to see Lewis is here.

- Yeah, me too.

- Are you okay, Spense?

- I'm a'ight.

- You know, it's okay if you're not.

Like Mom and I said the other night,
it's hard to lose someone.

- Have you ever lost
someone close to you?

- Not yet.

SHANELLE:
Hey.

- Hey.

Um, look, Shanelle,

I'm sorry about the other night.

You were right. I was wrong.

- That means a lot.

And it's all good.

Girl, how are you feeling, really?

You know, it's okay... to feel not bad.

- Doesn't feel like it.

Lewis keeps waiting for me to be sad.

I think I'm disappointing him.

- Well, maybe it's time you told him
about what really happened.

- I don't know.

- Girl, you said you didn't tell him
because he would tell you

that you couldn't see him again, right?

Well, now Paul's gone.

It's over, Jax.

You're free.

[door closes]
[beeping]

- Thank you, Jacqueline,
for letting me sleep over tonight.

I really appreciate it.

It's just so hard being in the house
without Paul.

And you know how it is after funerals,

everyone goes back to their lives.

- I know, Mom, that's tough.

- And thank Lewis for me
for keeping the kids

so that I could sleep in Naima's room.

Maybe when y'all get back together,
you'll buy a bigger house.

- [Jax chuckles]
I love you.

MAMA LU:
Oh, I love you.

And I know Paul wasn't perfect.

But I'm sorry you lost the only man

who was ever a real father to you.

- Paul was a sick man, Mom,
and I'm not talking about his health.

- Jacqueline, I told you many times
it was an accident.

Paul was a drunk,
and I'd already been down that road

loving someone who was battling addiction,

and I knew I couldn't do it again.

Then, after he got so drunk
and ended up in your room,

that was the last straw for me.

- But it was not your last straw, Mom.

MAMA LU:
Yes, it was,

until he came back to me a better man.

Or should I say, he came back to me

the man I fell in love with.

- But at my expense.

- What are you saying?

- Mom--

[Jax sighs]

He groomed me

when he was sober
and when he was not.

And then you let him back into our lives
and I have never felt safe since.

You're my mother.

You're supposed to keep me safe.

- Are you saying
that there were other incidents?

- I'm saying it wasn't a mistake.

And I'm tired of pretending
like everything was okay, Mom,

when it was not okay.

It's never been okay.

[sighs]

- I loved your father with all my heart.

And one day I came home,

found him slumped against the wall

with a needle hanging from his arm

while you were on the couch
watching Sesame Street.

I packed up all his shit

and I dropped them off at Daniel Freeman,

and I told him that he was
no longer welcome in my house.

That was about keeping you safe.

So how dare you blame me?

- Ladies and gentlemen,

the burden of proof in a criminal case

is the highest burden of proof
in our legal system.

It requires--

Actually, it demands

that the prosecution proves
beyond a reasonable doubt

the defendant is guilty of the crime

he or she has been accused of.

Mr. Ortiz's case was problematic
from the very beginning.

Instead of coming into their investigation
with a clear mind,

with careful consideration
of every possible suspect,

of every possible motive,

of where else
the forensic and scientific evidence

could have led them,

the LAPD decided to focus on one person

and one person only.

Mr. Miller.

And in a murder case,

a rush to judgment can prove disastrous.

Horrific!

Tragic for the person
who stands accused.

Mr. Miller, please stand.

♪

♪

Mr. Miller is a successful businessman.

Father.

Husband.

Son.

You heard his own mother testify

that he's not a violent man,
but rather an innocent man.

Mr. Ortiz and his team

have failed to meet
their high burden of proof.

And as a result,

the law doesn't just ask
that you find Mr. Miller not guilty,

it requires that you do.

And if you truly want to fulfill
your constitutional obligations

as jurors and citizens,

then you'll do what's right.

What's fair.

What's required.

Thank you.

an old client of hers, Damon something.

- Oh, right. Jax had me switch out his PO.

You think it might be him?

- I don't know.
This shit just ain't right.

I talked to him and he said
he was on his way out,

but it's been a long time,

and I've been watching the exit and he,

and he's still in there.

Do you, do you think
you can get the cops out here

to check the premises?

- I got you.

Hi.

Look, I-I know I just asked you
for a big favor,

but is there any chance--

- What's the address, Daniel?

- You can't wait
to get back to him, can you?

- It's not about him... or you.

- You're right.

It's about you.

It's always about you.

CJ was right.

I should've fuckin' listened to him,
instead I just--

Fuck.

I fucked up.

JAX:
Listen to me.

Listen to me. I can help you.

Look, you said I'm the best, right?

Let me help you, Damon.

DAMON:
It's too late for all that.

I'm a criminal.

I'm a criminal.
- No.

DAMON:
But you...

you love criminals, don't you?

Ain't that what you told me?

But you don't love me.

Do you?

Mmm.

You never did.

- Look,

I'm not gonna lie to you.

I... care about you.

A lot.

But like I said, I couldn't
throw away my marriage for your...

potential.

Please!

I swear to God on my life,

I'm okay.

I know things have been a little--

Lewis is here.

What I really need right now
is some sleep.

How are the kids?

They're both asleep now.

Well,

I wanna be helpful

If you're comfortable with that.

Good.

Bye.

- Good night.

- You mind if I join you?

- Lewis, I need to tell you something.

About Paul.

- Okay.

- [clears throat]
When I was younger, he--

Paul made sexual advances towards me.

It started small at first, but it turned--

- Wh-- What do you mean, how young?

- Let me finish, Lewis.

- I was 16,

and there were some weird moments.

But then one day
he actually got in bed with me.

And, uh,

it took me some time
to really understand what happened,

that what he was doing was intentional

and building up to--

- Jax, how could you keep this from me?

You had this man, like--

Our kids were--

- Lewis, this is exactly
why I didn't tell you

because I knew
you were gonna get angry.

- Yeah, I'm angry.

- And I knew you wouldn't want
my mother around 'em either.

- I'm s-- Does she know?

Because if she did know,
she doesn't deserve--

- She didn't know everything.

She only found out some things recently.

- How recent?
- After he died.

[sighs]

- I am sorry that happened to you.

And I'm sorry I didn't say that first.

- Thank you.

- But I'm-I'm even sorrier
that you felt like

you couldn't trust me
with that information.

Jax, it breaks my heart that you
held that inside for all this time.

That explains a lot.

- Do you even want to
move forward with me?

With us?

- I don't know.

- Do you want to do couples therapy?

Would you be willing to try that now?

- I'm definitely willing to try.

[sighs]

I don't want you to be alone tonight.

So I'm gonna crash on the couch.

- No. You really don't have to do that.

- Okay.

- No. Lewis, the couch.

I mean, I-- Of course, I want you to stay.

I just meant you can sleep in the bed.

- Uh-- I don't want it to--

- Lewis. Just sleep.
