[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.
This is and always has
been a family business,
but if you want to kick
us to the curb, do you.
But before you put a ring
on your cum-guzzling snow bunny,
there's something you should know.
[WENDY COLLINS] [ON
LAPTOP] Hey, big daddy.
You've been working so hard all day.
You deserve to be taken care of.
Tell me that you weren't
reverse-cowgirling some other man's dick.
- Say it.
- Why are you talking to me like this?
Who was he? Actually,
matter of fact, show me.
Show me how you did it.
- [WENDY SIGHS]
- Come on.
- What the fuck is wrong with you?
- [OZZIE EDWARDS] Come on, baby.
- What, are you high?
- [OZZIE LAUGHS]
You're acting like a
fucking crazy person.
I'm fucking crazy? No,
you're fucking crazy.
I mean, crazy pussy
really is the best pussy.
Fuck you!
The fact that you believe her.
[OZZIE] You're not
denying it. So, is it true?
Don't fucking talk to me like
I'm some nigga off the street.
I'm Ozzie fucking Edwards,
baby. Ozzie fucking Edwards!
Don't call me, Ozzie.
Hey! I'm not done with you!
Wendy!
Wendy, get out of the fucking car.
Get out of the fucking car! Wendy!
I'm done with this conversation, Ozzie!
Wendy, turn the fucking car
off. I swear to, I swear to God.
- Wendy!
- [DOORBELL RINGS]
I knew you would fucking
Ozzie. Hey, you okay?
I I thought you were
Wendy. Why are you here?
Get her to sign the NDA.
I don't need her running
her fucking mouth.
Oh, Ozzie, honey, what happened?
- I don't want to talk about it.
- [MONICA GROANS]
- Fuck!
- Oh, shit.
[OZZIE] Just leave, Monica.

Yo, you good?

Hey. Ozzie, uh, w-w-what

Why are you here?
[KRISTIN] Uh Uh [SIGHS]
Ozzie. Ozzie, wait. Ozzie. Ozzie.
What the fuck is this?
What the fuck is this?
I I need you to listen
to me. I can explain.
[DANIEL] Wait, Kristin, one sec.
They reached a verdict.
We should get back.
[KRISTIN] Okay, I'll tell
you the rest on the way.
Will the defendant please stand?
The court clerk will
now read the verdict.
"In the case of The People
versus Orsel Edwards,
"for one count of second-degree murder,
we, the jury, find the
defendant not guilty."
[CHEERING]
[LAUGHTER]
[ROSIE EDWARDS] Ozzie.
Congrats, son.
- Congrats.
- [OZZIE SIGHS DEEPLY]
- Jax.
- [JAX] Oh.
Thank you, Jax. Thank you.
[EXHALES] I was just doing my job.
No, you weren't.
No, you weren't.
- [KNOCK ON DOOR]
- [LENA CORDINA] Boss man.
Hey, Lena. So, Josh hit me up.
Sam's reports were shoddy at best,
and his team wants to meet to discuss.
Can you set a meeting with me and Josh?
To fire Sam? Finally.
No can do. He's having a kid.
With who?
His girlfriend.
He has a girlfriend?
- Does he not?
- [LENA] He brags about his Tinder profile.
Hmm.
Oh, I hope you are
AirDropping homie his bus ticket.
Not yet.
I labeled a file with the engine
coding for the physics simulation.
Have Sam proof it.
Okay.
[PENSIVE MUSIC PLAYING]
[JAX] To Ozzie.
[ALL] To Ozzie.
[APPLAUSE]
[EXCITED CHATTER]
- Hey.
- Hey.
Look, I'm-I'm sorry I missed it.
No, it's okay.
No, Ozzie, I'm I'm
really, really sorry.
Hmm.
[INDISTINCT CONVERSATIONS]
Well
I'm sure you're having a
lot of emotions right now.
- Well. Yeah, that's an understatement.
- [CHUCKLES]
It's hard to believe that this is real.
Hey, why don't you come over for
another family dinner on Sunday?
Uh, thank you, but I'm actually having
some friends come over to celebrate.
Friends who'll bring you apple
cider instead of champagne?
[ROSIE] Ozzie, come over here.
We're talking about
your future. [CHUCKLES]
[JAX] Hey.
Where were you? I tried to call
you when the verdict came in, but
We need to talk.
- You always have those shady practices.
- You'd be surprised. Not gonna
Stephen, Vince.
I just wanna say, despite the
fact that I wanted to do the closing,
Jax killed it.
She did indeed.
And that's why we're bringing her
and you, of course, to the new firm.
She may be a pain in the ass,
but the money she makes us
is quite the fucking painkiller.
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,
and it's because of her.
So, when we go to this new firm,
I think it's time you put
some respect on her name
and started treating
her like she is, in fact,
the person who's here
keeping the lights on.
[VINCE LARSON] Huh
[STEPHEN BINDER] Hmm.
So, if Jax did everything
to win Ozzie's case, then
What the fuck did you do?
This isn't about me.
Clearly.
Look, Bill, if you're saying you
did nothing to land this plane,
then maybe you're not
partner material after all.
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.
- I I need you to listen to me.
- What the fuck is this?
[KRISTIN] I can explain.
[DANIEL] But Ozzie interrupted those
plans when he showed up with Alex.
- [KRISTIN] Ozzie.
- Wendy.
[KRISTIN] Ozzie. I
need you to look at me.
You gotta wake up, baby.
Wendy, Wendy. Hey, hey.
[KRISTIN] Ozzie,
you're not listening to me,
and I need you to look at
me and listen to me, okay?
- Okay?
- Jesus Christ.
- Ozzie.
- What the fuck is happening?
She came to the house on
some bullshit, and she just
- What the fuck did you do?
- I I need you to listen to me, please.
Ozzie. Ozzie. Ozzie.
Look at me, look at me. Ozzie,
wake up. Ozzie, I need you to wake up.
- Look at me, Ozzie.
- [WENDY GROANS WEAKLY]
Oh, God. I'm gonna go
get you some water, okay?
[SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC PLAYING]
[GROANING SOFTLY]
[WATER RUNNING]
Hey!
[PANTING]
[ALEX] Wendy! Hey!
[GROANS]
Yo! The fuck is you doing?
[TENSE MUSIC PLAYING]
[DANIEL] Kristin told Alex
she'd pay him to be quiet
and then ditched Wendy's purse
on the side of the 91 Freeway.
And put Ozzie to bed like he never left.
Poor Ozzie.
He is surrounded by horrible people.
What do we do now? Do
we have to go to the police?
No, not yet.
Let's let Ozzie enjoy his
freedom this weekend
before telling him the only
person he trusts in his family
is the same person who killed
the only woman he's ever loved.
[DANIEL] God, there's family
issues, and then there's this.
You know, I think I'm
gonna call my sister
and thank her for not being a murderer.
Alright, so we doing
'90s neo soul or NWA?
[SCOFFS] Okay, those are
two very different choices.
What vibe are you trying to create?
Uh, it's called, "Corey, you fo sho
wouldn't be coming up in my house
"if this wasn't a double date
and I didn't love my wife
as much as I do, my nigga."
You know what? Let's
go with '90s neo soul.
- [DOORBELL DINGS]
- [LEWIS STEWART] Hmm.
[JAX] Mm-hmm. That's the one.
[CHUCKLES] And you
looking good in this yellow, baby.
[LEWIS] Mm.
- You know I wore this for you. [CHUCKLES]
- [JAX] [CHUCKLES] You know.
Hello, hello.
[DR. BRANDY MICHAELS] Hello!
[JAX] Hi, Brandy! So good to see you.
[BRANDY] [SIGHS] Yes, girl, I know.
So happy we could finally get together.
Me too. Brandy, this
is my husband, Lewis.
- Hi. Brandy. Nice to meet you.
- Nice to meet you.
And Corey, you remember Lewis.
Of course, of course. How you been, man?
Yeah, I've been well. Been well.
You know what? Brandy,
let me get your jacket.
Oh, yeah. Thank you.
So, we can get Oh.
Well, wait a minute.
- [BRANDY] Hmm?
- I know this is not what I think it is.
- [BRANDY] You see something?
- I mean, this right here.
- [LAUGHS] We're engaged.
- [COREY CASH] Hey. Hey.
Oh, oh, that? Oh, okay.
- Wow. Congratulations.
- Appreciate it, man. Thank you.
- [JAX] Oh, beautiful, girl.
- [BRANDY] Thank you. Thank you.
Well, you know what?
The food is on its way,
but I think we might need
to pop some champagne.
Ah, that sounds amazing. Yes, please.
[JAX] Tell me all about it.
- Where were you?
- Really, congrats.
[COREY] Oh. I appreciate
it, man. You know.
- Your home is gorgeous.
- Thank you.
But you know what? I've
never been in this area before.
Is this still Baldwin Hills?
Yes. The Dons. Every
street name starts with "Don."
- Predominantly Black, right?
- [JAX] Mm-hmm.
For now.
And this view? [BLOWS] It's insane.
- Yeah.
- Do you mind?
No, of course.
- I'll give you a tour.
- Thank you.
So, congrats again on
winning Ozzie's case.
- [JAX] Thank you.
- You had a lot of shit against you,
- I'm sure.
- Oh, you have no idea.
And not just with Ozzie.
My second chair Bill was [CHUCKLES]
good lawyer, hard worker, but
I only trust him as
far as I can throw him.
You know, he just seemed
to be a bit more aligned
- with Vince and Stephen, you know?
- [COREY] Hmm. Mm-hmm.
Would you believe they
wanted him to do the closing?
All of that just to
expedite his partner title?
You know, it was hard
enough fighting for Ozzie,
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.
Stephen and Vince ain't about shit.
Sounds like this Bill
ain't too far behind.
[JAX] Hmm.
I'm gonna get another
glass. You want some?
No, I'm good.
They say I'm hopeless ♪
[VOCALIZING]
[JAX] Thanks for meeting me.
[CHELSEA NICHOLAS] I
was surprised you reached out.
[JAX] So was I.
I mean, I wanted to, but
I just had a lot going on.
But now that the trial is over
Yeah, I saw you on TV.
Right. You know, every time
someone says it, I'm like, "Wait, what?"
[BOTH CHUCKLE]
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.
You know, early in my career,
it used to be Xanax
and a shot of tequila.
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.
Disappointed both of us, really.
So, wouldn't it be
nice if something good
came out of all this sadness and trauma?

Hey. Hey, baby girl.
Everything okay?
I need to know why you
wanted back into my life.
Was it to con me out of money?
Why would you think that?
Chelsea contacted me.
[EDDIE NICHOLAS] [SIGHS] Okay.
You can't let her get in
between what we're rebuilding.
I don't want her to.
Look, baby.
Chelsea's been in some trouble, okay?
I couldn't help her, so it was her idea
I get money from you to help her out.
That's not what she told me.
I I I know, I know I haven't
been there for either of you, okay?
That that guilt still eats at me.
I I wanted back into your life
because I wanted to
make things right with you.
Do you know why I asked
you to meet me here?
Because every time
I reached out to you
and I didn't hear back, I used to wonder
if this is the next
place I would find you.
I'm sorry you were an addict.
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.
I'm even more sorry that
one of those people was me.
Because despite your absence
from my life, I loved you so much.
You gave me no reason to
love you, and yet I still did.
Can you imagine how much
love you would've received
if you got back even
half the love I gave you?
For so long, I thought it
was my loss, my trauma.
But it's not mine, it's yours.
So, right now, I just need some space,
because I am unsure
about a lot of things.
I'm not going anywhere this time, baby.
- I want to be in your life.
- [JAX] I want that, too.
And, Dad, I I might
believe you, but I
I need some time to decide if I
want a father or a sister or neither,
because clearly, I can't have both.
I love you, baby girl.
If there's one thing you believe
about me, please believe that.
I do, Daddy. I do.
[KORDELL BECKHAM] Yo, yo!
My boy here is officially a free man!
So, I'ma need y'all to treat
him like a fucking king tonight.
- Put y'all cups up.

Bro, where else you gotta be?

I'm so glad you could make it.
[LAUGHTER]
[SPENSER STEWART] I
really don't see what's so funny.
I mean, I think a Benz
is a perfect first car.
- [MAMA LU] Hmm.
- Okay, look, I'm trying to understand
why you have such
expensive taste with no job.
- Wow!
- [LEWIS] Yeah.
You wanna know what my first car was?
An Oldsmobile. Two-tone.
Oh, yeah, I used to cruise
down Crenshaw in an Oldsmobile.
That's a good car.
- Yeah, Ma.
- [SPENSER] Ozzie, come on, man.
I know you at least had,
like, a BMW or something.
- Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah.
- See, I told you, guys.
But I did work for it, though.
- Oh. Oh. That part.
- [LEWIS] Oh!
Look, now, if you get a job and
you save up, then I might pay half.
- [GUESTS] Ohh.
- Oh, wait, I want that deal too.
Dad?
So, what were we talking about?
[LAUGHTER]
See, man, y'all are incredible parents.
Oh, well, thank you,
Ozzie. We try our best.
They a'ight.
[LAUGHTER]
Look, I'm sure they're not perfect,
but if I had a situation like
this with parents like them,
I never would've had to fight
for my freedom the way I did.
So, don't let their flaws take away
from the reality of
this situation, for real.
We appreciate that, Ozzie.
Well, it's time for me to go.
Dinner was delicious,
as was the company.
- Aw.
- So good to see you again, baby.
[OZZIE] Likewise, ma'am.
[SPENSER] Are we still staying
with you tonight, Grandma?
- Absolutely.
- Okay.
- My guy. Unh!
- Ozzie.
- Yes, sir.
- Good to see you, bro.
Same here, man. Alright, love you guys.
- Love you.
- [LEWIS] Love you, too.
So sorry, but before I leave,
can I get a quick little picture?
Are you kidding? Of course. Let's go.
[CAMERA SHUTTER CLICKS]
Oh, that's so sweet.
- Thank you so much.
- Of course.
[LEWIS] See you kids tomorrow.
Love you guys. Ma, I'll call you later.
I'll grab the bags before
we head to the hospital.
- Okay.
- Uh
Dr. Owens is on her way to the hospital.
She thinks the baby is on her way.
- Oh, shit.
- [JAX CHUCKLES]
Okay, Dr. Owens.
That's that's amazing.
[JAX] Yeah.
You know [CLEARS THROAT]
I really cannot even begin to
imagine the emotional roller coaster
you've been on since this trial ended.
Yeah, it's, uh it's one
thing I didn't see coming.
[JAX] Mm-hmm.
I bet it makes you reach for
anything and anyone familiar
even if it's to your own detriment.
It's a slippery slope.
That's why I think you should
continue therapy with Dr. Owens,
or with someone else, but
after you complete rehab.
Oh, I don't I don't need rehab.
I've been clean for months now.
No. No, Ozzie, you've
been California sober.
And now that this trial is over,
there will be plenty of triggers.
Look, book offers and interviews
and movie deals, TV deals.
Everyone will be trying
to profit from your trauma.
And how will you cope?
Ozzie, the cycle has to stop.
Which is why two intake staff members
from Haven Renewal are on
their way right now to help
- Are you serious right now?
- They will be here in 20 minutes.
Wh-why are you doing this to me?
You're no different from my
mom and my dad and Monica.
I am different.
Because this is not about
me at all. This is about you.
I love you, Ozzie.
And I'm treating you the way your
parents should have treated you.
[SOMBER MUSIC PLAYING]
[OZZIE] [CRYING] I
can't. I can't go to rehab.
I can't go to rehab.
I'm not strong enough.

It's okay. Go into Spenser's
room and take some time.
- Settle your thoughts, okay?
- Okay.
And you call whoever you need to. Okay?
[INHALES, EXHALES]
Okay.
- Uh, Jax?
- [JAX CRIES]
Yeah.
I'm so mad at you.

I'm sorry. I just didn't want
you to think that I was
- [SPENSER] I brought you a plate.
- It doesn't Thank you, Spenser.
No problem.
Is this your son?
Spenser, this is Bill.
Yeah. I know.
I'll leave you to it.
Thank you, baby.
- [SPENSER] Got you, Mom.
- [JAX] Hey, listen to me.
- I need you to promise me something, okay?
- [SPENSER] Mm-hmm.
If things ever become
too much for you at school,
or, or with your music, you
come to me with anything, okay?
Okay, I promise.
But, Ma, you don't
have to worry about me.
I don't care about getting
clout or getting high.
I just wanna be great for me.
Not no one else.
That's right, baby.
- I love you.
- [SPENSER] I love you, too, Mom.
- I love you so much.
- [SPENSER] Love you more.
[CONVERSATIONS CONTINUE]
- Hey, babe.
- [VOICE BREAKING] I f
Okay, okay.
I feel I feel like
this is all my fault.
[LEWIS] What? Babe, no.
No, it is. It is. He was counting
on me to save him, and I didn't.
I failed him.
[LEWIS] You
Just like I did with Damon.
No. No.
Damon's demons consumed him.
And Ozzie was a victim of a
system that snuffed him out
until his light was extinguished, okay?
And let's not forget, he
wasn't trying to kill himself.
We know that now. It was just
one last hurrah before rehab.
But his body, it couldn't
take what it thought it could.
Rehab I was forcing him into.
Because you were the
only person that cared, Jax.
Not about his money or-or
his case, but about his future.
Jax, I wasn't sure you'd make it.
Me neither.
Rosie, this is my husband, Lewis.
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?
[BREATHES SHAKILY]
- 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-what do you mean
you-you shut her up?
[SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC PLAYING]
Where the hell's your wife?
[SAL] Keep your voice down.
You know, you're all
full of shit fuckin' liars.
Your whole goddamn family!
You know, I can't wait
to show Ozzie the truth
about the vile and manipulative
human beings who raised him.
I am done keeping my mouth shut.
Hey, if you threaten to come
between me and my son again,
I'll be sending
condolences to your mother.
- [GASPS]
- [WENDY GROANS]

- Wendy, are you okay, baby?

No, Ozzie. Whoa. Okay. Hey, oh, son.

- Ozzie. I I can go get the Narcan.
- I have Narcan. Oh, my God.
- No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
- [SAL] I'm gonna lay him down right here.
- [KRISTIN] Is he okay?
[SAL] Hey, Kristin, why
don't you get him some water?
- [KRISTIN] Hey, Ozzie.
- [SHOUTS] Now!
[KRISTIN] Okay. Okay, okay.
[SAL] Hey, come on, son. Hey, Ozzie?

Ozzie.

- [DOOR OPENS]
Shit!
[OBJECTS CLATTER]

[ALEX] Wendy! Hey!
Shit.
[GROANS]
- Did you hit her?
- I don't know.
- What'd you mean?
- I don't know.
- But you stay here with your brother.
- No, what if he wakes up and remembers?
Oh, he doesn't remember
anything when he's high.
It's a problem that's to
our fucking advantage.
Yeah, no, m-maybe we should
call Mom and she can help us!
Whoa. Hey, w-what, what, what? What?
No, no, no, no. We don't need her.
Hey, I got this. You, uh
You pick up these casings
and then you go inside
and you clean this mess the fuck up.
[KRISTIN GROANS]
Hey, you say nothing
and whatever money
problems you have go away.
They go away, Alex!
Shit. Fuck.
[ENGINE STARTS]
[SAL] Wendy!
[GROANING AND WINCING]
[LEAVES RUSTLING]
[GASPS]
Do you see the mess you've caused?
[WHIMPERS]
Look, Wendy, let's, uh
Let's end this.
How much is it gonna take
to get you to finally go away?
I don't need his money.
So, no matter what
happened here tonight,
I'm not going anywhere.
I need Orsel, and he needs me.
And whatever he doesn't remember
I will gladly remind him
and make sure this is the last time
you ever matter to him
and that he sees you
for exactly what you are
a pathetic excuse for a father.
- Help!
- [GRUNTS] Shh!
- Wendy, Wendy, Wendy, Wendy.
- [WENDY] No!
- No! [YELLS]
- [SAL] Wendy, Wendy, Wendy!
- [WENDY SCREAMING]
- Shh!
Stop, stop, stop!
It's over! It's over!
[WENDY GASPING]
It's over.
It's over.
[GASPS]
[PANTING]
[FOREBODING MUSIC PLAYING]
Okay.
[SAL GRUNTING]
No, no, you-you-you told me that
you couldn't find her in the woods.
I I I thought I did the
right thing for you, my dad!
No, the right thing would've been not
letting your brother die on your watch.
That was the right thing.
[BREATHES SHAKILY]
You know, it's taken me a few years,
but I've finally come to
terms with the fact that
all you do for this
family is fuck things up.
Was that enough?
[FOOTSTEPS APPROACHING]
[JAX] Thank you, Kristin. That's great.
Ozzie would be proud.
What did you do?
What I do best.
Fuck things up.
Hey, hey. Hey, don't touch me.
You need to come with us.
I'm sorry I lied to you.
Yeah, me too.
But it wasn't all lies. I
I love you, Daniel.
I know.
I love you, too.
[VOICE BREAKING]
Will I ever see you again?
[SOMBER MUSIC PLAYING]
Probably not.
[SOBBING]
[LAUGHTER]
[VINCE] You did it, Bill. You did it.
[ALL] Cheers.
Wow.
- 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?
- [JAX] Hmm.
- Yeah.
Good to know. Excuse me.
I'll be right back.
Hey, Jax?
Jax.
I just wanted you to know
that I spoke to the partners,
let them know how this
whole thing would have gone
had it not been for your
hard work and devotion,
- not only to Ozzie but to this firm.
- [JAX] Mm-hmm.
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.
That's some bullshit.

Have you had a chance

Yeah. Looks good.

less coming from you.
Hmm. Well, I'm still a little
concerned about the lag.
Why don't you pull it up so

Yeah, for sure.
Let's see what we got here.
Hmm.
Hmm.

They don't care about you, dawg.
There's nothing wrong with
me finessing their system
until they figure out that I don't
fit into their "corporate plan."
Maybe Yeah, maybe I can mentor
you on how it's actually not that great
to be inside the house
instead of the field.

That's West Philly slang, suburban boy.
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.
So, yeah, today is your last day, boul.
