03x02 - A Million and One Questions

Post by bunniefuu »

[COREY CASH] Previously
on Reasonable Doubt...

- How's everything at the firm?
- Great.

Maybe we should trust Bill
to continue to prove himself.

Okay, it's wack.

I'ma need someone rich and/or famous

to pierce some flesh
before the end of Q4.

[COREY] Ozzie Edwards.
Man, I am familiar.

[JAX STEWART] Sure would
be awkward if your girlfriend knew

that you were trying to pay her off.

It's complicated.

I'm destroying my entire life,

blowing up my whole family, all for you!

My girl is missing.

Were you the last person to see her?

[NISHA MCCALL] No, her boyfriend was.

Hollywood stylist Wendy
Collins has been reported missing.

Is there someone who can
corroborate your whereabouts?

I haven't tried to find her.

[LEWIS STEWART]
We gotta fix this Toni sh*t.

Well, she said she'd drop the
lawsuit but under one condition.

She wants me to
spend one night with her.

[CRICKETS CHIRPING]

Spend the night?

And the lawsuit goes away.

We agreed nothing
she's doing is logical,

but we also agreed to do
what it takes to end this.

Yes, but bending her over one last time

wasn't on my list of negotiating points.

Unless it's what you want.

It's not what she wants, and
it's certainly not what I want.

She wants to talk about Jaden
and-and show me pictures and sh*t

and probably for sure yell
at me for a couple hours.

Like, what she wants is closure.

[SCOFFS] Yeah, okay.

I bet. Mm-hmm.

Mm-hmm.

After, after everything,
after the, the growth

and the therapy, you
still don't trust me?

So, you actually think
this is about trust?

Jax, why else would
you be worried about me

spending one night with her?

I want you to walk out that door
and ask the first person you see

if what you're talking about sounds
even remotely reasonable, Lewis.

There are many things that
have happened between us

that most people
would find unreasonable.

Maybe even outrageous.

But so what?

So what?

- We are still here.
- [SIGHS DEEPLY]

We are still in this together.

And I don't, I don't
need anyone to cosign

what happens in our
house or our marriage.

I don't give a f*ck about anyone.

I give a f*ck about you.

And the longer this lawsuit
and this bullshit goes on,

the more conversations
like these we have to have.

Look, Jax, I...

I can't do it anymore.

Can you?

- But...
- [CELL PHONE BUZZING]

Daniel, what's up?

[DANIEL KIM] Word on the PI streets
is that there's a video coming out

about a certain client fighting
with his missing girlfriend

on a doorbell camera. [SCOFFS]

And I will give you
three hints. Pow, pow...

sh*t. When did the fight happen?

The night she went missing. Gotcha!

Okay, I'll look into it.

And let's set up a meeting with Ozzie.

Alright.

I have to go.

But I just need some
time to think about this.

Just...

give me a day.

Okay.

That's fair.

But you know nothing's gonna
happen between me and Toni, right?

Yes, but does she?

[OZZIE EDWARDS]
...Ozzie f*cking Edwards!

[WENDY COLLINS] You
think I give a f*ck who you are?

I'm not one of those Instagram b*tches

trying to slide into your DMs!

I know you.

[OZZIE] Where did you get this?

TZT obtained the footage from
your neighbor's doorbell camera.

But the better question is, when
were you gonna tell me about it?

I barely had a second
to process anything.

- [JAX] Hmm.
- Yes, we fought. So what?

But she's just pissed because...

Because what?

Because I was gonna
make her sign the NDA.

Ah. So, she got mad, right?

What happened after
that recording cut off?

Nothing. I came inside and fell asleep.

[JAX] Hmm.

Personally, it would
be hard for me to sleep

if I were as angry as
you look in that video.

Are you saying you don't believe me?

I'm saying they're already
building a case against you,

so once this drops,

we can pretty much go straight
to negotiating your arrest.

So, I need to know the truth.

That is the truth!

Listen to me very carefully,

because every move you
make from here on out matters.

You are a person of interest
in a missing person's case

that is getting bigger by the hour.

Every reporter, future
juror, social media junkie

has been analyzing how you behave
from the moment this news dropped.

Think Menendez brothers
at a basketball game,

O.J. in his white Bronco
with a g*n to his head.

It's all on the canvas
they're using to paint a picture

of who you are and what
you possibly could have done.

And guess what?

They don't have to wait to find Wendy

to arrest you and put you on trial.

Are you serious?

- I can go on and on.
- What am I supposed to do?

You are going to put up your
own money as a reward to find her.

In addition, you're
going to keep calling her,

reach out to her friends,

look like a person who
wants to find his girlfriend.

I do want to find her.

Then start acting like it.



[VINCE LARSON] The
video, I assume, is damaging?

It could be the nail in the coffin
for him before he's even buried.

The video shows Ozzie and his girlfriend

fighting the day she went missing.

I've also elected to
bring Bill onto the case.

Great news.

[JAX] The problem, Ozzie has already

given a statement to
police without counsel,

which was initiated
by the victim's assistant

who has an airtight alibi

and was the first to
report the victim missing.

[STEPHEN BINDER] Nice.

A high-profile, wealthy client

who is absolutely lost
without representation.

[LAUGHS]

With any luck, the victim's
body will never be found

and Ozzie just keeps
us on retainer indefinitely.

Well, frankly, I hope it is found.

I can refute evidence in court easy,

but battling speculation and assumptions

in the court of public
opinion, far more challenging.

I have a question about Wendy Collins.

Are you looking for
Wendy or Wendy's body?

Why are you coming to me
and not the chief of police?

This isn't a case. It's
just an investigation.

Nice try, but I know you've
already spoken to the chief

because Ozzie Edwards is involved.

So, I'm just cuttin' to the chase.

Like I said, it's still a
missing person's investigation.

[JAX] Uh-huh.

But?

But...

given that Miss Collins has
been missing for three days,

anyone would have reason to believe

that it could turn into a
homicide investigation.

Hmm.

So, the answer to my
earlier question is both.

Thank you.

[DANIEL] Hi. Are you, um...

Um, I'm looking for Nisha
McCall about Wendy Collins.

Who are you?

Kim, Daniel Kim.

Uh, I am a private investigator
and part of Ozzie's legal team.

Are you Nisha, Wendy's assistant?

I am.

So, I see that m*therf*cker
has lawyered up.

No wonder why he ain't
been answering my calls.

Is there, um... What, if anything,

can you tell me about
Wendy's alleged disappearance?

I can tell you there is
nothing alleged about it.

Hungover, tired, sick, Wendy
not missing a photo sh**t.

And you've already filed
a police report, correct?

I wasn't able to track the AirTags

that we normally sew
into our designer bags,

so I went to the police, and
they were able to track it,

which was found on the 91 Freeway.

Yeah, they told me about the purse.

What?

Why didn't you tell me?

I don't know. I forgot.

So, yet another thing
you conveniently forgot?

Ozzie.

I am sorry, but there was
so much going on that night.

Okay, Ozzie, here's the thing.

Seventy-five percent of these cases

are due to intimate partner violence.

If there's evidence that you so
much as grabbed Wendy too firmly,

they will assume that
not only are you violent,

but you're also a liar,

which is why you hid your
white girlfriend from the world.

But when she threatened to go public,

the relationship reached its
inevitable conclusion, m*rder.

No, no, no, no, this is some
Gone Girl sh*t. She's fine.

I agree. She's just punishing
me because I yelled at her.

She's not f*cking missing.

And why the f*ck is
everyone looking at me

like it's my fault or
like I did something?

You don't have a real alibi,

considering you were
home alone all night

and have nothing and
no one to confirm that fact.

You were the last person
to see Wendy alive,

and since you've already
spoken to the police,

you've placed yourself
at a disadvantage.

That is why our counsel is so crucial.

We know what steps to take,

and we're going to be right
there with you, guiding you.

Did you take any of the steps
I laid out for you yesterday?

Uh-huh.

You see, I know that everyone
else does what's best for your career,

but it is my job to treat you like

someone who might
be on trial for m*rder.

Stop saying "m*rder."
She could still be alive.

[KRISTIN SIGHS]

Sorry, this is my sister, Kristin.

Okay, well, Kristin, you
better hope they find Wendy,

whether she's alive or not.

[OZZIE] Okay, enough.

If anything is making me look guilty,

it's hiring big-time
lawyers like you all.

So...

- I think we call it here.
- Call...

What...

- Are you firing us?
- [KRISTIN] What... [SIGHS]

Okay, let's just all take a beat.

No. No need, because I quit.

If he's gonna dig his own grave,
he doesn't need two shovels.

- [SCOFFS]
- Jax...

[JAX] Please.

[BILL SIGHS]

- [JAX SIGHS]
- Well, that was a pretty rash decision.

Actors tend to be a bit dramatic.

Yeah, but no offense...

you seemed a bit impulsive and reckless.

How do we break this
to the other partners?

We don't.

Once this video drops,
he won't be little Ozzie,

but Orsel Edwards, m*rder*r.

Then we'll see who's calling who.

[SIGHS]

[KEYS CLACKING]

Hey.

So, I thought about it.

I drew up a settlement and
release that lays out the terms.

If Toni doesn't sign within the
first five minutes, you will walk.

And after you spend 12 hours together,

we're released from liability.

Also, if you do this, I need
you to text me every hour

and sprinkle in a phone call.

Of course.

I love you, Lewis... and I trust you.

But I'm not the one who has
to stay there with her, you are.

So, it's up to you if you go.

But if she tries to f*ck
you, I will k*ll you both.

Okay.

[KNOCK ON DOOR]

Hey, Lewis.

Hey, Toni.

I'm sorry, I don't have much to drink.

I'm, I'm good with water.

I wasn't sure you'd come.

But I reminded myself

that you always manage to show up.

[CHUCKLES]

What's that?

A document that ensures
that this ends tonight.

[SCOFFS]

Wow.

Feels like Jax scrambling
for an ounce of control.

I can't stay if you don't sign it,

and if you don't sign it,
you don't get what you want.

If I don't sign and you leave,
Jax doesn't get what she wants.

[SCOFFS]

I'll sign it.

After we finish the nursery.

Figured I'd decorate it...

in case he became a
gamer nerd like his dad.

But I couldn't take this down alone.

At least you had Jax to help
you with your bedroom for Jaden.

[MOBILE CHIMING]

I...

I didn't get a chance to
put a nursery together.

[SCOFFS]

Lucky you.

I know how much you love
the Eagles, so when I saw that,

I knew you would love seeing him in it.

But I get that it's hard.

Yeah.

I do.

[SOMBER MUSIC PLAYING]

What are those?

My family threw a shower.

I keep thinking I
wanna donate it, but...

Let's sort through it together...

and find a home for it.

[NAIMA STEWART] Wait, where's Dad?

Oh, he had to work late tonight.

Wow. Tables really have turned.

What's that supposed to mean?

Nothing, it's just that
he's usually the one

waiting up for you. I mean...

I'm not waiting up for him. I'm working.

See? And why don't
you mind your business?

- Go to bed, girl.
- Jeez, I was just saying good night.

Someone's in a mood.

- Girl, you...
- [CELL PHONE CHIMES]

[TUTS]

[SIGHS]

[SIGHS]

Okay, this is sad.

Mm-hmm.

[SIGHS DEEPLY]

- [KEYPAD BEEPS]
- [LINE RINGS]

Hey. You up?

[SIGHS] Well, I am now.

You okay?

Yeah.

Just waiting on Lewis to
come back from Toni's house.

Hold on.

Did you say Toni as in...

h*-ni? Yeah.

She agreed to drop the lawsuit

if Lewis stayed with her for one night.

And you said yes?

Ooh, girl, you better than me.

I mean, I wasn't thrilled
at the idea, you know?

But I'm tired of all the back and forth.

So, if it ends with
just one night, then...

at least it's done.

- So, they f*ck' or no?
- [JAX] No.

No. He said they're
taking down the nursery.

You know? It's-it's fine. I'm fine.

Mm-hmm. And that's why you called me?

Okay, listen. [SIGHS]

I'm trying to be rational, you know?

I mean, we've been through a lot
these last couple years, you know.

And I just don't think that
it makes sense to think

that one night is gonna break us, right?

Sure.

But I... It's okay to make a
decision and then question it.

I mean, sometimes the heart and the mind

aren't always on the same team.

Ugh. God, you know,

this was so much easier
when I would just be like,

"f*ck you. I don't
need you, n*gga. Bye."

[TUTS] Girl, you love
him. And it's healthy.

[WHIMPERS]

[SHANELLE TUCKER]
Look, for what it's worth,

I don't think Lewis would do
anything to jeopardize what y'all have.

Especially with h*-ni.

[SNICKERS]

Girl, that never gets old.

[BOTH LAUGH]

It really doesn't.

Thank you.

Hey, I love you, Shay-Shay.

Night, Cracka Jax. I love you too.

Bye.

[CELL PHONE CHIMES]

[GROANS SOFTLY]

f*ck!

The past week has been
excruciating for all of us

who loved my beautiful sister, Wendy...

[VOICE BREAKING]
...especially for her family.

If anyone has any information
of where she could be

or if you've seen her,
please call the police.

Video has surfaced of Ozzie
and Wendy in a domestic dispute.

Is that the reason he
isn't here with you tonight?

You tell me. Y'all saw the footage.

Have either one of you spoken to
him? Do you even know where he is?

No, we haven't, but we want answers.

He is the last person that
we know of to have seen her.

And it's mighty funny that
now he won't return our calls.

I mean, we would love
to know where he's at

and what he has to say for himself.

Where are you, Ozzie?

[REPORTERS CLAMORING]

[REPORTER] [ON SCREEN] What do
you want the public to know about Wendy?

That she's brilliant... and talented.

Oh, look at our guy.

You know, those late nights get way

worse before they get better. Trust me.

Looking forward to that.

Anyway, I hope this all
means the case is going well.

Night.

We lost the case.

[NISHA] [ON SCREEN] And if you see him,

tell him to tell the
police what he knows...

Ozzie fired us.

Jax didn't say anything because...

she's confident he'll change his mind.

I wasn't gonna say anything,
but I felt like I needed to tell you

because, well,
honestly, I'm not so sure.

And why is that?

Well, no disrespect to her,

but Jax's confidence is
potentially overconfidence.

Personally, my instinct is to
not give up and to force Ozzie

to realize that he is making
a huge f*cking mistake.

[CHUCKLES] Thanks for
keeping us in the loop, Bill.

Appreciate it.

Let's just sit back and
see where this lands.

- Oh. Mm-hmm.
- [VINCE] Alright?

[MONICA WILSON] I got
calls out to a few lawyers,

so we can replace Jax ASAP.

- Excellent.
- [INDISTINCT CHATTER ON TABLET]

Can you believe this bullshit?

Trash. Next to recycling.

...bum-a*s boyfriend.
...bum-a*s boyfriend.

Where are you, Ozzie?

- ...bum-a*s boyfriend.
- sh*t, how'd they do that so fast?

[NISHA] ...we can bring her back.

Uh-uh, honey, listen, don't...

Don't read that stuff.

It's all fake.

All those comments are bots.

Well, why don't we
have some f*cking bots?

- [SAL EDWARDS] Hey.
- It's okay. Listen to me, honey.

I know a lot was said
before, okay? But w...

- We love you.
- We...

[SAL] Hmm.

You are Ozzie motherfuckin' Edwards,

practically America's
favorite sitcom star.

You're about to land the biggest

franchise that exists
outside of the MCU.

You're a legend.

They couldn't take you
down if they tried. Am I right?

- Mm.
- [POUNDING ON DOOR]

[OFFICER] LAPD! Orsel
Edwards, open up and step out.

What is going on?

- Sh...
- [ROSIE] Oh, my God!

- [OFFICER 2] Hands where we can see 'em!
- [GASPS]

- Don't move.
- [ROSIE] No, no, no.

He's unarmed! Don't
sh... Please don't sh**t.

- [OFFICER 3] Clear!
- It's clear.

[VIC MORENO] This the
residence of Orsel Edwards?

Mrs. Collins's phone has
been tracked to this address.

We have a warrant to
search this residence

for that phone and all
other electronic media.

- Hey, you can't just come in here.
- [VIC] Yes, we can.

Stay out of the way or
go outside, it's up to you.

- [MONICA] sh*t.
- [VIC] Search every room.

[OVERLAPPING CHATTER]

[TENSE MUSIC BUILDS]

...bum-a*s boyfriend.
Where are you, Ozzie?

She has friends and family
who all love her, miss her,

except her bum-a*s boyfriend.

...bum-a*s boyfriend.

- [CELL PHONE CHIMES]
- Where are you, Ozzie?

Making good progress? What the f...

[SIGHS DEEPLY]

Hmm.

[EXHALES]

[GROANS]

[BUZZING]

Let me guess. Ozzie called you.

[COREY] [ON PHONE] Yeah,
yeah, but can we talk in person?

- I'm right outside.
- You...

You know, I figured it was safer to

wait outside, you know, after last time.

Huh. Fair.

Ozzie wants you back.

I'm sure.

Between the police interview

and now with the
footage out of their fight

the night she went missing,

I'd say he's in some deep sh*t.

But Ozzie would have to play by
my rules, which I doubt he can, so...

[CAR WINDOW WHIRRING]

Wouldn't be the first time
someone underestimated me.

Te-ten minutes, that's all I need.

Oh, wow. You have a beautiful home.

Thank you, but keep your voice
down. My daughter's sleeping.

[OZZIE] Aw, how old is she?

[JAX] It's late, Ozzie,
so what do you want?

Uh...

I f... messed up.

I know that now.

Yeah, more than once.

[SIGHS]

So, I was, uh...

I was on Instagram,

and this woman
commented that she met me,

uh, at the Atlanta Airport back in 2017.

She wrote, "He was
an entitled piece of sh*t

"who couldn't take


I believe he k*lled that girl."

First of all, how do we
get from selfie to m*rder?

But, okay. Second of all...

I remember that trip and that moment.

Why? Because I was rushing
back to see my sick grandmother.

And when I get off the plane,

my mom texts me that she had died.

Like, that's it, gone.

"Might as well come back to LA

so you don't miss the
Kids' Choice Awards."

Thanks, Mom.

And then...

here comes this lady...

saying, "Pow, pow! Gotcha!"

Couldn't do it.

This woman caught me on
one of the worst days of my life

and decided everything about
me in less than 30 seconds.

They are crucifying me online.

And today, I was in
a room full of people...

just coddling me.

But not you.

You told me the truth,

even when I didn't wanna hear it.

Like Wendy.

Do you really believe she's alive?

I pray to God that she is.

But if she isn't, it wasn't me.

I'm not saying it was, but clearly,

there are a lot of people who are.

Like Wendy's sister and her assistant?

They just held a press conference.

Yeah, I saw.

So, I declined a few of Nisha's calls.

But she could've gotten a hold
of me if she really wanted to.

A text, a-a voicemail,
a voice note. It's...

It's not like I could go... meet
her somewhere or something.

You know, what you
need is a good night's rest.

Yeah, so you can crash
here for a few hours.

And then tomorrow, me and my
team will come up with a plan...

as your lawyers.

Thank you.

I'll get you some
blankets for the couch.

If you need to use the
bathroom, it's back and to the left.

Are you sure you want him to stay here?

What's Lewis gonna say?

Well, Lewis isn't here, so... yeah.

But Ozzie can't go home.

And since I'm not
stupid, neither can you.

So, I'll make sure he's
settled, but in the meantime,

you're gonna post up in
that hallway and keep watch.

Sounds like a plan.

[EXHALES]

Hmm.

[LINE RINGING]

[INHALES AND EXHALES DEEPLY]

[RINGING CONTINUES]

[TONI] If she's gonna keep
calling, then you should just go.

[EXHALES]

[LINE BEEPING]

Oh. [SCOFFS]

This n*gga. Oh-h*.

How many times you f*ck her?

Four times.

When was the first time?

When I saw you with Damon.

Okay, so then what
happened after that, huh?

We got high and drunk one night...

I didn't wear a condom.

I think I'm gonna be sick.

- [LEWIS] Jax.
- I think I'm gonna be sick.

Just get out of my face, Lewis.
Get out of my f*cking face.

Just leave. Leave.

You okay?

I'm not sure yet.

I really appreciate this, Lewis.

Yeah, me too.

[TONI] I wanna feel you.

All of you.

[BOTH MOANING]

[LEWIS] I'm glad we did this.

Oh, Toni, what the f*ck?

Don't say this isn't what you want.

Look, Toni, this is not why I came here.

Right.

You came here to get me to
sign those g*dd*mn papers.

Because you clearly don't
give a f*ck about me or our child.

Toni, that...

[TONI SCOFFS]

There.

Got what you wanted.

What I want is to help you.

But you don't.

You don't. You never did.

You know what?

I bet you're happy that he's gone

because you get
everything you ever wanted.

You get Jax.

You get your promotion.

You get all of it. I'm
stuck here with nothing.

Nothing but this room
full of f*cking heartbreak

and-and-and memories

and-and-and potential and my baby.

My little baby, Jaden.

My baby is gone!

My baby! [SCREAMS]

[CRYING HYSTERICALLY]

[EXHALES DEEPLY]

Get the f*ck... out of my house.

[CELL PHONE RINGING]

[RINGING CONTINUES]

[SIGHS] Good news or bad news?

Depends on whose side you're on.

[FAINT CHATTER]

Everything okay?

No, it's not.

[JAX] They, um...

they found Wendy's body...

near your cabin in Wrightwood.

They also found the
b*llet that k*lled Wendy.

It's a match to a g*n
that's registered to you.

No.

No. No! No!

Mom, what's going on?

- [OZZIE] No.
- Nothing. Nothing.

- Go back to bed, baby.
- [OZZIE] No.

- [OZZIE PANTING]
- [JAX] Shh.

[DOOR OPENS, CLOSES]

I've... I have to sit.

I can't...

How... How am I supposed...

[JAX] Ozzie.

- Ozzie, listen to me.
- [OZZIE CRYING]

Look, I know this is a lot, okay?

And I'm so sorry about Wendy.

But with your police interview

and the location of Wendy's body,
and your connection to the g*n,

you will be arrested for Wendy's m*rder.

I can't go... I can't go to jail, Jax.

Take a breath. Take a breath.

I am heading to the DA's office now

to negotiate your arrest, okay?

- Corey will stay...
- Please don't go.

Please don't go.

Okay. Okay.

I, um...

I just need to make a call to Bill first

and have him negotiate
your arrest with Chad

at the DA's office, okay?

Just give me a second. sh*t.

[JAX SIGHS]

So, without acknowledging
any guilt on the part of my client,

we both know
manslaughter's off the table.

But you're gonna have a tough time

proving Mr. Edwards intended
to k*ll beyond a reasonable doubt.

He and the victim have
been dating for over two years.

He has no record, no history
of criminal activity or violence.

Worst case, this is a
domestic violence incident,

a crime of passion
with no premeditation.

It's second-degree m*rder, not first.

Fine. I like my wins fair and easy.

We won't make it easy.

[BILL CHUCKLES]

Uh, now, great, about the arrest.

He's at my co-counsel
Jax Stewart's house.

How about you guys bring
an unmarked car to her garage

where we'll lead him through.

And no handcuffs.

[CHAD BARNES] Absolutely not.

Your client may think he's special,

but you don't get special treatment

when you're being arrested for m*rder.

I don't care who you are.

So, we done here?

Semper Fi.

You're a Devil Dog.

Yeah.

Did you serve?

I was DSF in the Coast Guard.

And if there's one thing...

someone who has
taken orders understands,

it's power.

- Right?
- Yeah.

And you're gonna have to know it
real well if you wanna run for DA.

How did you know I want to run for...

[BILL STERLING] But
in order to get elected

to a higher office,

you're gonna need money
from rich and powerful donors,

the kinda donors who don't
wanna see people like them

treated as anything
less than first class.

See, the average person's not gonna care

if Ozzie's led through the
back, as long as he's arrested.

But if you drag him through
the front door for TZT

and the Internet mob to see,

then potential donor Michael Moneybags

is gonna think about the
next time Junior gets a DUI.

And how embarrassing
that would be to his family

if the new DA treated his beloved

child like any criminal on the street.

So, he'll donate to a
friendlier DA candidate.

Not you.

So, Chad, let me ask you again.

How do you think Ozzie
Edwards should be arrested?

- [SIGHS]
- I'm all ears.

[SIGHS] Thanks, Bill.

We have 30 minutes.

What is happening?

Well, first, breathe. That's important.

[INHALES AND EXHALES]

Good.

Now, we've negotiated your arrest.

LAPD has agreed to do it here.

You are going to be charged
with second-degree m*rder,

the unlawful k*lling of another
person done with malice

or forethought but
without premeditation.

Is that clear?

Um... What the f*ck?

[JAX] Ozzie...

Sorry. Yes.

[JAX] LAPD will let me know
when they're two minutes out.

I will open the garage.

They will pull inside discreetly.

Once inside, officers
will confirm your identity,

handcuff you, define the charges,

and inform you of your rights.

You will nod or say yes, that is it.

Once at the station, your
belongings will be logged,

you will be fingerprinted,

and every inch of your
body will be searched

and photographed prior to your mugshot.

It is embarrassing, it is humiliating,

but it is also temporary.

What will you do
while this is happening?

Breathe.

- Breathe.
- [JAX] Good.

Now, I already have a
bondsman who's posting bail now.

He'll escort you out
once you're released.

You have 27 minutes until the
world you know changes forever.

So, go to the bathroom,
take a shower if you want,

and I'll make you something to eat.

I didn't k*ll Wendy.

I believe you.

[OZZIE INHALES AND EXHALES]

["ONLY YOU" BY PORTISHEAD PLAYING]

Alex, bro, how the f*ck are
you not answering your phone?

Where are you?

They found Wendy's body.

We gotta talk.

[MOUTHS] Breathe.

Hey, so you surrendered a
celebrity m*rder suspect in LA

without the press getting wind of it.

I would say that's a win.

[JAX] For today.

You know, that press conference

with the sister and the
assistant is just the beginning.

This is gonna be a big case.

Oh, so, if you're asking for my help...

[SCOFFS] Oh, wow.

No, I am not asking for your help.

I mean, unless you
wanna be second chair.

Oh, I'll be second chair.

Yeah, I'll highlight your
transcripts, get your coffee.

[JAX LAUGHS]

I can't with you.

Ah, I'm just messing with
you. My heart is in Chicago.

- Legally and romantically.

I get it.

I get it, and I respect it.

Mm-hmm.

Well, plus, I wouldn't want your

[DOOR OPENS]

Hey.

[LEWIS] Hey.

How was your night?

Surprising.

I only slept for a few hours.

They found Wendy.

What? Where?

Up in Angeles Forest near
where Ozzie has a cabin.

They arrested him here this morning.

Here as in our house?

Yes.

But it was peaceful.

Bill negotiated the arrest

and I wasn't here alone with him.

Corey was here.

All night?

Most of the night. But
he stayed in the hallway.

Ozzie was on the couch.

Naima was in her room,

and I made sure her door was locked

and I kept ours locked as well.

Damn.

[EXHALES]

A lot did happen.

Honestly, I didn't
realize I needed last night

as much as Toni did.

It was, it was good to talk
about him, to say Jaden's name...

and to see the nursery and to wonder

how ours would look if I...

Anyway, um, later I'm gonna
take his toys and clothes

down to that children's donation
place at the Ladera Center.

Uh, and, yes, she signed the document,

and, no, I didn't sleep with her.

[SIGHS DEEPLY]

Damn. n*gga, I was wondering when
you were gonna get to the punch line.

Yeah, I know. I... I...
I got there eventually.

[JAX] Hmm.

You always do. [CHUCKLES]



You were right.

She was still carrying feelings for me.

See? I told you.

A woman always knows when
another woman wants her man.

That doesn't matter now.

I'm your husband.

And you are my wife.

And every day, I am
more and more grateful

that those two
statements are real as f*ck.

[CHUCKLES SOFTLY]

[LEWIS SIGHS]

I am starving.

Want Coffee and Company?

[BOTH] Ooh.

- French toast?
- Yes, please.

And we need to hurry up
because you know they get packed.

Facts.

[DOORBELL RINGS]

Um...

Alright. [SIGHS]

[DOOR OPENS]

What are you doing here?

Baby, who is it?

Hi, baby.

Hey, Daddy.

Long time no see.
