00:01Previously on Reasonable Doubt.
00:04Lewis.
00:05Tony.
00:06So who was she?
00:07Someone I know?
00:08No.
00:09Mama Lou gave it to me.
00:10It's from her new boyfriend.
00:11Are you related to Jeremiah Cash?
00:13He's my father.
00:14He's a legend, you know?
00:15Son of a bitch tells me every chance he gets, too.
00:17Nevada Department of Corrections.
00:19I'm calling to get the status of Peter Thompson.
00:21Still incarcerated.
00:22Right.
00:23You're a brilliant lawyer, but I am too.
00:25We can't be letting these white folks get in between us.
00:28So let's start rooting for...
00:29Everybody black.
00:30You never burned your son with your cigarette on his right thigh?
00:33How dare you accuse me of...
00:34Objection.
00:35You know Tony.
00:36JT knocked her up.
00:38Did you get a paternity test?
00:39No.
00:40Then how do you know it's not mine?
00:41I don't, but it doesn't matter.
00:43The bank cameras revealed that she is with Adrian.
00:45We think they ran away together.
00:47You went to see Chanel.
00:48Chanel's lawyer came to see me.
00:50Do whatever you need to do to make sure she keeps her fucking mouth shut.
00:54Adrian?
00:55Okay, I'll be there in an hour.
00:56If you don't hear from me every six minutes...
00:58Call the police.
00:59What's up, Adrian?
01:00There's something you need to know.
01:07What did you want to talk about?
01:11Adrian, you can talk to me.
01:14I want to help you.
01:15No, it's too late for all of that.
01:16It's not.
01:17I promise.
01:18It's...
01:23Sit down.
01:25Jax, sit down.
01:28No, hey.
01:30I wouldn't do that.
01:31Give me your phone.
01:35Your phone, Jax.
01:36Give me your phone.
01:38Sit down.
01:40You should know that my PI is waiting for me outside.
01:43And if he does not hear from me every six minutes,
01:45I've instructed him to call the police.
01:50You got four minutes left.
01:52You got four minutes left.
01:56How deep are you in this gambling ring?
01:58What do you know about that?
01:59I know a lot more than you think.
02:01You do, and that's my fucking problem, Jax.
02:03You know too much.
02:04I don't like that.
02:05Evan certainly doesn't like that.
02:07What about Chanel?
02:08Hmm?
02:09Isn't that who you're doing all this for?
02:11Chanel hates me right now.
02:13Evan got in her head, told her a bunch of shit.
02:15I didn't ever want her to know.
02:17Like what?
02:19Jax, I need you to stop looking into me,
02:22looking into Evan,
02:23and whatever else you think you know.
02:24Done.
02:26If that is what you need,
02:27then I will call off my investigation,
02:28shut my mouth,
02:29and move the fuck on.
02:31What else?
02:38I need...
02:39I need immunity.
02:40Protection.
02:41From what?
02:42Until I feel safe and protected,
02:44I'm not telling you shit.
02:45I will keep you safe from Evan, for real.
02:47I just...
02:49I need you to give me the gun.
02:52You are not safe until I'm safe.
03:12Daniel, you can come in.
03:13I'm safe.
03:17I'm safe.
03:47We're coasting on the West
03:49Between sets and worlds
03:50We toast the sunset in the dawns
03:53Take flight into the night
03:55Under calloused stars
03:56In a world on wheels
03:58It's all us
04:02It's the world we feel
04:04It's all us
04:05From the hills to Hollywood
04:07It's all us
04:11No doubt we all we got
04:12Holding down black and brown
04:14In a city of dreams
04:16It's all us
04:27Jax.
04:47Hey, baby.
04:48Hey, baby.
04:50How was your day?
04:52Terrible.
04:53Yeah?
04:55Wait, wait, wait.
04:56What happened?
04:57Oh, today I was a bad bitch.
05:01So I came home,
05:03took two shots,
05:04and now
05:05I want to put your dick in my mouth.
05:07I want to put your dick in my mouth.
05:23You okay?
05:25Just...
05:31I want to make your day better.
05:38Whatever you say, baby.
05:42Last night when I took Adrienne to the safe house,
05:44Adrienne said that JT was scared
05:47and nervous that the gambling ring
05:49would trace back to them,
05:50so he created an account under Chanel's name
05:52and told her it was for some trust for the kids
05:55and then had her sign.
05:57Damn, he called for that.
05:58Well, I hate to be the bearer of bad news,
06:00but Lucy sent over her updated witness list
06:02and guess who's been added?
06:03Us.
06:04Adrienne, of course.
06:05No surprise after that runaway escapade with Chanel.
06:08So she didn't know anything about this?
06:10No, I don't think Adrienne's told anyone about this.
06:12Yeah, but if Lucy's been digging around,
06:14then she might be able to get Adrienne
06:16to admit all of this on the stand.
06:17Maybe, but it doesn't help her case.
06:19What Lucy needs Adrienne for
06:20is to prove that Chanel knew about that money
06:22and to confirm that he was having an affair with Chanel
06:24before JT's murder.
06:25Right, right, and her bringing up Evan
06:27or even implying that Adrienne was a ringleader
06:30or something like that,
06:31or some type of gambling ring
06:32only garnered sympathy for Chanel.
06:34Lucy wants to keep the focus on Chanel
06:36being some type of cold-blooded, first-degree murderer.
06:38Okay, so then why don't we force Adrienne to confess
06:41in court, under oath, that he killed JT?
06:47Okay.
06:48Jax, even if he did kill JT,
06:50why would he confess now?
06:51Because he wants to win Chanel back
06:52and he'll do whatever it takes to make things right.
06:55Jax, this...
06:56I mean, Corey, listen, look,
06:57I know you've been trying to convince me
06:59I mean, Corey, listen, look,
07:00I know you think this is a stretch, okay,
07:02and if you don't agree, then it's all good, I'll let it go.
07:04But please just hear me out.
07:08All right.
07:09Okay, so, on cross,
07:11I'll still get Adrienne to admit
07:13that Chanel didn't know about the money.
07:14Then I'll have him confirm how bad the abuse was for her,
07:17and all of this helps our case.
07:19But what if this could all be over?
07:21What if we could win this case
07:22and prove to the world that what they think about Chanel
07:25was wrong, that she's not some cold-blooded,
07:27selfish, money-hungry trophy wife
07:30who exaggerated the domestic violence she experienced?
07:33That, in fact, she is a woman
07:35who suffered so much trauma over years and years
07:38that she now believes that she is at fault for a crime
07:41she actually did not commit.
07:43So much so that she's endured incarceration
07:46and arduous trial because why?
07:48She thinks that's what she deserves.
07:50So I say, fuck Evan.
07:52We still try taking him down,
07:54we get Adrienne to feel safe so he confesses,
07:56and we bring Chanel home once and for all.
08:02Whoa.
08:04Okay, never mind.
08:06No, you know what?
08:07Did you hear that?
08:08Jax.
08:09Jack Stewart.
08:10Okay.
08:11It was good.
08:12Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh.
08:13Jack Stewart.
08:14Okay, okay.
08:15I will go look into Evan a little bit more discreetly.
08:18Hey, I can help with that, too.
08:20Okay, Crystal.
08:21It's Batman and Robin this thang.
08:23No, uh-uh, uh-uh.
08:24Never say thang.
08:25All right, that was weird.
08:27So, yeah, no, that was good.
08:30The speech sold it.
08:31Oh.
08:32Well, I mean, look, I have to step my game up for you.
08:34I see that, and I appreciate it.
08:36As you should.
08:46What was Mrs. Tucker's stated budget, Mrs. Jones?
08:49No, no, no, no, no.
08:56You set the alarm, sweetie.
08:58We're late.
08:59Yes, and for the record, I was ready.
09:01Okay.
09:06Shit.
09:09Hold on.
09:18It's flat.
09:21What am I gonna do?
09:23It's all right, Mom.
09:24I'll call it.
09:38At least the black people aren't late.
09:45Judge Roth, I am so sorry.
09:47Flat tire.
09:48Won't happen again.
09:49Let's hope not, Ms. Wargo.
09:51Bailiff, please bring the jury in.
09:55Ma'am, you just testified that Mrs. Tucker seemed aloof and subdued in her 911 call.
10:01I'll play a clip now.
10:02Chanel, how do you know your husband is dead?
10:04He's not breathing.
10:08There's blood.
10:09Blood from where?
10:10Did he fall?
10:13Chanel, are you with me?
10:15Please, just send someone.
10:17I just, I can't look at him anymore.
10:19Besides her tone, did anything else strike you as suspicious?
10:23Genuine callers focus on the needs of the victim.
10:25Suspicious callers focus on their own needs,
10:28like how she begged us to get him because she couldn't keep looking at him.
10:31Objection.
10:32Sounds like an expert opinion from someone who is not an expert.
10:35Sustained.
10:36Motion to strike.
10:37Stricken.
10:38How long have you been a 911 dispatcher?
10:40About three years.
10:41So you've spoken to many callers who reported a lifeless body, is that correct?
10:44Yes, at least once a week.
10:46Do any of these callers appear to be overwhelmed or desperate for help,
10:50for someone to intervene and relieve them?
10:52Yes, usually they're a bit frantic.
10:54And do any of these callers ever get convicted of first degree murder?
10:58Objection.
10:59Speculation.
11:00Sustained.
11:01Would you say that a caller's tone is, without a doubt,
11:04a reliable indicator of what's happening at the scene?
11:07No, I wouldn't.
11:12Mrs. Jones, what's your profession?
11:14I'm a real estate agent.
11:16Do you know Mrs. Tucker?
11:17Yes, I showed her some homes for lease a few months ago.
11:20What was the average price of the homes you were looking at?
11:23Around three million dollars.
11:24And was anyone with Mrs. Tucker when you were showing her these homes?
11:27Once.
11:28Adrian Hunter.
11:29I assumed he was her husband when I saw how close they were with each other.
11:33Objection. Motion to strike.
11:34Stricken.
11:35Did Mrs. Tucker appear interested in the house that you showed her and Mr. Hunter?
11:39Yes.
11:40I drew up an offer, but she never responded.
11:43I figured something had changed.
11:45And indeed something had changed.
11:47No further questions, Your Honor.
11:51Mrs. Tucker's current home is in Encino.
11:53Do you know the estimated value of that home?
11:55Not exactly. I assume around eight million or so.
11:59According to Redfin, Mrs. Tucker's home was worth 8.7 million dollars.
12:03Yet, Mrs. Tucker was looking for houses less than half the value of her current home.
12:07Is that correct?
12:08That's correct.
12:09It would have been quite the downgrade.
12:11Not exactly the move for someone looking to kill for money.
12:14Your Honor!
12:15I withdraw that comment.
12:16Did Mrs. Tucker ever talk to you about her daughters?
12:18Every showing.
12:20We only looked at places they would like.
12:22And the younger one swims, so a pool was a priority.
12:26Okay, so her focus was on the comfort and security of her children.
12:32Is that correct?
12:33It seemed that way to me.
12:35Me too.
12:50What's up?
12:51I'm a doc, get me lit. I'm a slug.
12:53Just let me get a shot of whatever's in your cup.
12:55Keep shaking your butt and I'ma throw some more bucks.
12:58Baby, give me your number.
12:59And I send a text late night. I west.
13:01I'm getting out from the GPS.
13:03What are you doing?
13:04You know Mom and Dad gonna kick you if you post that, right?
13:07And who gonna tell them?
13:09Me.
13:12Do it then.
13:13Then I'ma tell them about your secret drawer.
13:17I don't know what you're talking about.
13:18It's giving you do.
13:21Kids, time for dinner.
13:22Okay, Daddy.
13:37Did you get a good read on the jury doing that?
13:39Any strong testimony?
13:41No, actually, but it was helpful that Elise likes Chanel, so.
13:46It's an accidental character witness in our favor.
13:49Yeah, but it still fits into Lucy's narrative that Chanel may have planned the whole thing.
13:56And you are absolutely right.
14:01Corey, I owe you an apology.
14:05For what?
14:07I was wrong to push back on your instincts.
14:12I always knew you were a good lawyer.
14:14But the truth is you're a great lawyer.
14:17And a great leader.
14:20It's very kind of you.
14:21Oh, thank you.
14:23I'm happy you're here.
14:25Yeah, I'm glad to be here.
14:28We make a great team.
14:30We do.
14:34And honestly, if I were doing this by myself, I don't know if I'd be able to handle it.
14:45What's up, baby?
14:49I'm so glad I got you here.
15:14I should go.
15:15So don't worry about the situation.
15:19I'd never let you go.
15:28Can you handle it if I go there, baby, with you?
15:35I can handle it.
15:37I can go there, baby, with you.
15:40Oh, I hear you talking, babe.
15:42I asked myself, should I go there or should I do it?
16:08So, has the medicine been helpful?
16:10It has.
16:11Yeah, and it's also been helpful that Lewis and I are making great progress in couples therapy.
16:16That's great.
16:17Yeah, it feels good.
16:20And how's work?
16:21Corey and I are finding our stride as a team.
16:24It's encouraging.
16:25It's a welcome change.
16:27What about Damon?
16:28Are you still having nightmares?
16:30Well, it's been over four months now, you know.
16:32I feel like I'm getting some distance.
16:35That's some real progress, Jax.
16:37Yeah.
16:38So, why did you want to meet?
16:40I can't shake this feeling that I'm waiting for the other shoe to drop.
16:45You know, like everything is just too good to be true.
16:51You know, I mean, is that crazy?
16:54Jax, after the trauma you've been through, it's normal to be hypervigilant, even skeptical.
17:03But I want to challenge you because you're in a sweet spot.
17:07Instead of dreading its end, savor it while you can.
17:11Just be present.
17:13The truth is, you're going to hit bumps in the road whether you're looking for them or not.
17:17So, if life is good right now, it's okay to enjoy that.
17:22Yeah.
17:30Toni.
17:32Lewis, I already told you.
17:33Look, I'm sorry. It's not going to work for me.
17:35Well, it's my choice.
17:37Actually, it's not.
17:39I looked into it and I have a right to demand paternity.
17:41After the baby's born, yes.
17:43But I'm not willing to take that risk beforehand.
17:46It's not safe.
17:47Ten years ago, that might have been true, but there are definitely ways to ensure that the baby won't be harmed.
17:51I've even talked to my doctor. He said we could come in later today and get it over with.
17:55Today?
17:56Today, Lewis? I can't even...
18:01Why are you doing this to me?
18:02Look, despite what you might think, Toni, I'm not trying to upset you.
18:05But this kid could be mine and I'm not some nigga that's just okay with this kid out here being in the world.
18:10I am a father.
18:13And I'm not going to pretend I can't be.
18:21Fine.
18:24I'm available later today.
18:28I'll text you when I confirm the details.
18:30Okay.
18:32Bye.
18:47Yo, yo.
18:49I've been doing some digging on Adrian's boy, Evan.
18:51It turns out that the whole gambling ring is just the smoke that leads to a big-ass fire.
18:55Uh-oh.
18:56Evan hires companions for his gamblers when they're in town.
19:00What kind of companions?
19:01Let's just say that they should be in a homeroom and not meeting men in the Hilltop Country Club.
19:06Oh, shit.
19:07Good morning.
19:09Morning.
19:11Daniel was just telling me that Evan Gerard is basically Jeffrey Epstein.
19:14Oh, wow. Well, that's sad but not surprising.
19:17Child sex trafficking runs rampant at major sporting events, and if he's into that...
19:21Then this is a bigger takedown than we thought.
19:23Right.
19:25Good work, Dan.
19:26Well, thank you, Cash.
19:27Yeah.
19:29Bye, Daniel.
19:31You're welcome.
19:34Feeling good?
19:35Come again?
19:36I mean, um, about what? What should I be feeling good about?
19:39Um, Coach Powell, the prosecution's witness today.
19:41Oh, right. Yeah. Oh, yeah. Definitely. Definitely. I'm ready to go.
19:43I'm, um...
19:44Oh.
19:45Oh, damn.
19:46Look.
19:47It's my son.
19:49The famous lawyer I've been seeing on TV for the last few months.
19:55Thought we were meeting later on tonight for dinner.
19:57Oh, we can have dinner at any time.
19:58You know, I wanted to see that so-called stellar Cash defense in person.
20:05And who's this?
20:06This is Jack Stewart. She's my co-counsel on the case.
20:10Dr. Cash, it is an honor to finally meet you in person.
20:14Call me Jeremiah.
20:16You know, I can't wait to see the both of you in action today.
20:20Wow.
20:22Mr. Tucker.
20:23That's my father.
20:25That's him.
20:29The night of November 8th, 2022, what do you remember?
20:33That was our bi-week team dinner.
20:35Coaching staff, players, and their plus ones were all invited.
20:39JT brought Chanel.
20:41Did you see anything happen between the defendant and Mr. Tucker?
20:44No.
20:45JT brought Chanel.
20:46Did you see anything happen between the defendant and Mr. Tucker?
20:49Yes, I heard Chanel scream, fuck you, Jermarion.
20:52I could tell that she knew exactly which buttons to press to make him more and more angry.
20:56Almost like flipping a switch.
20:58Oh, so she had the ability to incite violence within him whenever it was, I don't know, convenient, would you say?
21:05Objection. Speculation.
21:06Sustained.
21:07Okay.
21:09She cursed at him.
21:10Then what?
21:11And she started screaming at him and beating on his chest, scratching at his face.
21:16Then she smacked him hard.
21:18I was horrified.
21:19Next day, he showed up with a huge scratch on his face.
21:22I told him to divorce her.
21:25Maybe if he'd have listened to me, we wouldn't be here right now.
21:27Objection. Motion to strike.
21:29Stricken from the record.
21:31The jury is instructed to disregard.
21:39So, Coach Powell, you cannot definitively tell the difference between a scratch from a woman's nails versus maybe, I don't know, a man's tackle during football practice, correct?
21:50Yes, I suppose that's correct.
21:52You testified at the Keon Ray trial, didn't you?
21:57I did.
21:58And while you were on the stand, you said, and I quote, Keon wouldn't hurt a fly, right?
22:03That's right.
22:04That's interesting because Mr. Ray was found guilty of murdering his wife, correct?
22:10Objection. Relevant.
22:11Your Honor, bias is always relevant.
22:13Overruled. The witness may answer.
22:16Was Mr. Ray found guilty of murdering his wife?
22:19He was.
22:20So tell me, do you have regrets defending a murderer?
22:23Objection, Your Honor.
22:25I withdraw my question.
22:28Objection.
22:39Well, it felt like a win.
22:40Definitely.
22:41Janelle was much calmer when we said goodbye today.
22:44Yeah, we must be doing something, right?
22:45Absolutely.
22:47Let me take you two to lunch.
22:50And Jax, let me regale you with my old war stories.
22:55We actually have a lot of work we gotta do.
22:57Well, yeah, but I mean, Corey, come on.
22:59How often do I get to sit down with a legal legend?
23:03I'm in.
23:16How'd it go with Mrs. Stewart?
23:19Fine. She's good.
23:22We're good.
23:23What made her shut the fuck up?
23:25Well, she actually cares about Janelle.
23:27I made it clear that you don't.
23:30Accurate and succinct. Nice work.
23:33One more thing.
23:38I've been subpoenaed for the prosecution
23:41because of the whole Janelle trying to flee and us getting caught BS.
23:45They want to confirm she knew about the money.
23:48So you're not gonna tell them what really happened?
23:52Why the fuck would I do that?
23:54Just making sure you're not thinking about growing balls
23:57that I'll eventually have to cut off.
24:01I'll do what you want. Are we done?
24:05Good luck in court.
24:06Well, he's come a long way because now he's a fantastic lawyer.
24:26Maybe now, but when he was with that corporate firm.
24:29I need to get this call right on time. Excuse me.
24:32Uh, excuse me.
24:34Ah, he still embarrasses easily.
24:38But when you get to be in your 70s,
24:40you stop censoring yourself so much.
24:4370s?
24:44Wow.
24:45You look fantastic, Jeremiah.
24:47Well, thank you.
24:49Trying to keep myself in shape.
24:52Have you ever dated an older man?
24:55My husband, if three years counts.
24:58Oh, no, it does not.
25:00I meant someone seasoned with decades of practice.
25:05No.
25:06But I am all set.
25:08No worries.
25:09Had to try.
25:10Did you, though?
25:12What's this saying?
25:14Ask for forgiveness, not permission.
25:18Isn't that what rapists say?
25:19Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha.
25:22So has my public brooch, Indy Gay.
25:25I just remembered I have an appointment,
25:26so I should head out.
25:28Thank you for lunch, Dr. Cash, Corey.
25:30I'll see you back at court.
25:36What happened?
25:38I don't know.
25:39Dessert?
25:48Girl, you will not believe what just happened.
25:52Jax, it's your mom.
25:54She's in the hospital.
25:56What?
25:57Yeah, a nurse just called the office.
26:00OK, OK, um, send me the address.
26:02I'm on my way.
26:13I don't see how Beyonce could drink lemon pepper juice
26:17for a month and do homecoming.
26:20And intermittent fasting puts me in a hospital.
26:24I hate to spell this out for you, Mom,
26:25but you are not Beyonce.
26:27I know.
26:29I was trying to lose a little weight for the R&B cruise
26:31Kevin wants to go on next month.
26:33OK, look, if Kevin can't accept you for you,
26:40then he doesn't deserve you.
26:41No, he accepts me.
26:43It's me.
26:45I think I'm nervous.
26:46I haven't been happy like this for a long time.
26:51OK, I understand that, but no man is worth all of this, Mom.
26:56Well, that's easy for you to say.
26:58You have Louis.
26:59The rest of us are out here trying to catch a fish.
27:05All right, Mom.
27:06Well, I'm going to call out for the rest of the day,
27:09and I'm staying right here.
27:10Oh, Jacqueline, you don't have to.
27:12I'm not asking, Mom.
27:14You scared me.
27:17Oh, baby.
27:20I love you.
27:27Well, that was an elf hole.
27:30Yeah, not at all.
27:32I'm kind of racist.
27:33OK, yeah.
27:33I thought it was just me.
27:34She wouldn't even validate my parking.
27:36Yeah, don't worry.
27:38I will give you a validated rate.
27:39Oh, thank you.
27:40Anything for my East African sister.
27:45I'm from Eritrea.
27:47What about you?
27:47Oh, no, no, no.
27:48No, no, no.
27:49Let me just talk to you for a second.
27:50What?
27:51Sorry, one second.
27:52What are you doing?
27:53No, um, he likes you.
27:56So everybody likes me.
27:57He likes you, likes you.
27:59Look.
28:01Yeah, so you need to flirt with him.
28:03Get some more info on Evan, OK?
28:05Valid guys like this, they see and they hear everything.
28:08I am married to a woman.
28:10Would you get off?
28:10Giggly around Cash.
28:11So do you.
28:12Wait.
28:13Yeah, um, it's not about the way Cash looks.
28:15It's about the way he makes you feel, all right?
28:17But this guy, this guy right there, yeah,
28:19he doesn't know that you're married to a woman.
28:21So you just need to give him a little something
28:23to think about, all right?
28:24If you crack this case, you will be a hero to Jax,
28:26to Corey, the entire firm.
28:28They might even make a movie about you, like Erin Brockovich.
28:34Hey, there.
28:35Um, it's, uh, Sinai, right?
28:41Yes, I like your pronunciation.
28:42Oh, thank you.
28:43So where are you from, again?
28:45Eritrea.
28:46Oh.
28:50Get it, girl.
28:53Hey, how's your mom?
28:54She's good.
28:55Thanks for asking.
28:57Listen, I hope my, uh, my dad didn't offend you in any way.
29:02You know, when you left to take your call, he hit on me.
29:05What?
29:06No, no, that's not OK.
29:07No, I'm not saying it's OK, but I'm OK.
29:12Maybe you're not.
29:13Does he know how you feel?
29:15He's argued in front of the Supreme Court.
29:16I can't win an argument against him.
29:18I stopped trying.
29:20He may not change, but that doesn't mean
29:22you need to hold all that in.
29:24That only hurts you, not him.
29:25Plus, I'm learning that honest, direct communication
29:30is key to maintaining healthy relationships.
29:36Let me call you right back.
29:49You've reached the voicemail box of Louis Stewart.
29:51I'm not available at the moment.
30:04Hey.
30:05Hey.
30:07What are you up to?
30:08Just tied up at work.
30:12Oh, you're still at work?
30:14Yeah, yeah.
30:17Uh, is everything OK?
30:20Yeah, yeah, I was just saying hi.
30:26OK, OK.
30:28Uh, can I call you later?
30:32Yeah, yeah.
30:35Love you.
30:36Love you, too.
30:37Bye.
30:49I can't believe this.
30:51I lost my son, and I have to hear
30:53him being crucified in front of the whole world?
30:57How do you think that makes me feel?
30:58I know it's difficult.
31:00You know what else is difficult?
31:01Getting reelected after losing a case with national attention.
31:08You're absolutely right.
31:10I will speak to Ms. Wargo.
31:13Thank you, Henry.
31:22And what was that about?
31:24A grieving mother wants to focus back
31:25on her son as the strong, all-American stud
31:28we knew and loved.
31:29She's making demands.
31:30After that surprise family abuse testimony.
31:33Alas, she is the victim's mother.
31:35Also, showing up late to court?
31:37Well, it turns out my tire was slashed.
31:40Despite that and the anonymous death threats,
31:43I am busting my ass on this case, which lost
31:46another jury member today.
31:49That's the third one.
31:50Worst part, she was only making comments that swayed our way.
31:54Mavis is right.
31:55We need to drum up some positive press for JT.
31:57For the case or for your campaign?
32:01Consider them equal, for your sake.
32:23We need to talk.
32:30A secret account?
32:31Why did you guys go through my phone?
32:33First off, it's cute that you think it's your phone
32:36and we're the ones paying for it.
32:37Second, no more social media for you.
32:40What?
32:41It's not even a big deal.
32:42Literally everybody has two accounts.
32:44So you do what everyone else does.
32:45We did not raise you that way.
32:46And we certainly didn't raise you to keep secrets.
32:50OK, fine, I'll delete it.
32:51Like.
32:53You know what?
32:54Your phone is ours for a week.
32:56And next time, don't lie.
33:04Oh.
33:16Louis, are you OK?
33:21Yeah, just tired.
33:23Long day.
33:25Good night.
33:28Night.
33:55Oh.
34:00How are you feeling about the trial?
34:05Well, you know, every day is different.
34:07Uh-huh.
34:08But that's how it is with court cases, you know?
34:10You're up one day and down the other.
34:15And Adrian's testifying today, right?
34:16Yep.
34:17You still believe that Adrian killed JT?
34:20If he really loved Chanel, if he knew what was
34:23happening in those photos, then yes, I think he did.
34:26Wow.
34:28That would certainly be a surprising turn of events.
34:31Speaking of surprises, I saw Louis at the hospital
34:37when I went to go see my mom.
34:38Mm-hmm.
34:40And so I called him to be like, hey, I see you.
34:43He saw me calling, and he rejected the call.
34:47Was he busy talking?
34:49Was he busy talking or something?
34:50No, he was alone.
34:52So I called him back.
34:54This time he answered, and when I asked him where he was,
34:56he lied and said he was at work.
34:58It's weird, right?
34:59No, that is weird.
35:02How's your trust level with each other?
35:03It's good.
35:05I mean, before this, it was.
35:09So you know I've been doing fertility treatments, right?
35:12Right.
35:12How's it going?
35:13Fine, fine.
35:14But my point in bringing it up is that the other day,
35:17I had some spotting.
35:19I went to call Kendall.
35:20Then I thought, what if it's nothing?
35:21Why worry her?
35:22I'll see the doctor if it's something.
35:24Then I'll tell her.
35:25And it turns out it was nothing, so I didn't tell her.
35:28You said you saw him at the hospital.
35:30What if he's going through something
35:31he's not ready to talk about?
35:36Yeah, but he did have a hard time
35:41getting it up the other day.
35:42Oh.
35:43Yeah, he tried to play it off, but I knew.
35:46Things have been crazy at work for him, you know?
35:49So I don't know.
35:49Maybe it's stress, high blood pressure.
35:52Maybe.
35:53Either way, I'd give him the benefit of the doubt.
35:56His reasons might not be as dubious as you think.
36:00Another lap?
36:01OK.
36:02Yeah.
36:03Oh.
36:08Now, Dad, I know we talked before about my desire
36:11to get clemency for my client, Isabella Torres.
36:14And you said that you'd consider helping me out with that
36:16if I could raise my national profile.
36:19Well, yes, but that hasn't happened yet.
36:21I know, but it will happen once I win this case.
36:24OK.
36:25If you win, we'll discuss it.
36:29They're in this whole game getting old.
36:32It's not like either one of us have bootstraps.
36:34You stood on Grandpa's shoulders, right?
36:37And what's the point of even having a family legacy
36:39if not to use it?
36:40The point is to build on it.
36:42I've been trying to build on it.
36:44But it's difficult when my father keeps dismissing me.
36:47I'm not the same person that I was back in Chicago.
36:50I care about this case.
36:51I care about what happens to Chanel.
36:54I see Jack's been rubbing off on you.
36:56Oh, Dad, please.
36:57By the way, she told me you hit on her.
36:58She's an attractive woman.
37:00What was I supposed to do?
37:01I don't know.
37:02How about not hit on her?
37:02She's a married woman.
37:03Of course she's married.
37:05Now, the question is, why aren't you?
37:06You know I was engaged to Shanice, remember that?
37:08That was 10 years ago.
37:09Yeah, and I've been focused on my career ever since.
37:12This DV work is very important to me.
37:14But for some reason, you just can't seem to get that,
37:17can you?
37:21My first national case was a lot,
37:23taking on the Chicago Police Department.
37:25Do that for yourself.
37:26Yes, I know.
37:26I know.
37:27You were a star.
37:28In the end, yes.
37:30But my first day, man, I was literally scared shitless.
37:35I had nerves coming out of all holes in the court bathroom.
37:38Your mom rushed in.
37:41She got me cleaned up and focused.
37:47And the rest is history.
37:50So she was the hero, not me.
37:55You see, men like us, we can't get to the next level alone.
37:58We need a partner, a foundation, a guy,
38:01or else our dicks will lead us right off the cliff.
38:05Mm-hmm.
38:08And I don't dismiss you, Corey.
38:13I'm just an old man that don't do rules, feelings,
38:17or whatever the new generation goes on about.
38:21But if it means that much to you, then I'll try to do better.
38:28Thanks, Dad.
38:35Yeah.
38:45Crystal got some good intel from the valet guy.
38:48Apparently, everybody at the country club hates Evan.
38:51They've all just been waiting to take him down.
38:53That's great.
38:54Yeah, yeah.
38:55I just got to gather some statements
38:56and then send them over to the FBI.
38:58Well, I may have a better idea.
39:00We'll see how today goes.
39:03Black cash.
39:05You ready to go in?
39:06I'm ready for this to be over.
39:08Let's go.
39:11Mr. Hunter, could you tell us about your relationship
39:14with the defendant?
39:15Yeah, so we met through JT, became friends,
39:19and fell in love.
39:20And was she still married to Mr. Tucker at the time
39:23that you fell in love with her?
39:24Yeah, she was.
39:25And was Mr. Tucker aware of this, as far as you know?
39:29No, he didn't.
39:31He didn't know.
39:32How long was this affair?
39:34Three months.
39:35Your Honor, may I approach the witness?
39:36Yes, you may.
39:38Mr. Hunter, I am showing you what
39:39is marked for identification purposes
39:41only as the People's Exhibit 30.
39:43Do you know what these are?
39:45Yes, these are letters written to me from Chanel.
39:48And in these letters, the defendant
39:50mentioned anything about a life without Mr. Tucker.
39:54Yes.
39:55And did she ask you for your help
39:56in creating this life without Mr. Tucker?
40:01Yeah, she did.
40:02Wow.
40:03And did you also run away with the defendant
40:05after she was booked and charged for the murder of Mr. Tucker?
40:09Yes, I did.
40:09I wanted to give her a chance to get away from all this.
40:12I love her.
40:14Nothing further, Your Honor.
40:19Mr. Hunter, why was Mrs. Tucker sending
40:21you handwritten letters versus texts or emails?
40:25Well, JT was tracking everything.
40:27If he knew we were communicating,
40:28he would have heard it for sure.
40:29Objection, speculation.
40:31Sustained.
40:33So you were protecting her?
40:34Yes.
40:35Did you ever see the deceased physically
40:37abuse Mrs. Tucker?
40:38Yes, once.
40:39He grabbed her arm hard.
40:41It was too hard.
40:42Did you confront Mr. Tucker about it?
40:44No, I didn't, because Chanel said that he was drunk.
40:48But I swear I wanted to.
40:49I wanted to kill him.
40:50Objection, Your Honor.
40:53Overruled.
40:54Please answer the question, Mr. Hunter.
41:00Yes.
41:01So did you?
41:03Did I what?
41:03Did you kill him?
41:04Your Honor.
41:06What is this?
41:07I'm asking the witness if he was the one
41:09who killed Jamari and Tucker.
41:10What is she doing?
41:11Hold on. What?
41:12No, I didn't.
41:13I didn't kill JT.
41:17Quiet, everyone, please.
41:19Adrian Hunter, did you kill Jamari and Tucker
41:22to protect the defendant, the woman you love?
41:24No. Objection, Your Honor.
41:25No, but I really wish I would have killed him.
41:30Chanel didn't know anything about the money.
41:33I did.
41:34I lied to her, and I said it was mine
41:36and that we could have it if she would just leave JT.
41:39But it wasn't mine.
41:45The money belonged to an illegal gambling
41:46company named Will Goose, which was started by JT
41:50and a man named Evan Girard.
41:56The only player who knew about it was JT.
41:59All Chanel had was to take her kids and leave JT forever.
42:03And all I wanted was to be a part of that life, the new one.
42:09So yeah, I wish I would have killed him.
42:12Because then she wouldn't be here right now.
42:15And after everything that she has been through,
42:20she doesn't deserve any of this.
42:23Nothing further, Your Honor.
42:30Mr. Hunter, you are dismissed.
42:34Evan is a dangerous man.
42:36Why would you make him say all that?
42:38Because he wanted me to.
42:55Where did you get this from?
42:58Associates of Evan's.
42:59It's legit.
43:00Why didn't you give this to the FBI?
43:02This is clearly going to be a federal case.
43:03Going to be, yes.
43:04But right now, it belongs to you.
43:08What do you want for it?
43:09Immunity and witness protection for Adrian Hunter.
43:12And why would I do that?
43:14Because Evan Girard is a very dangerous man.
43:16And Adrian risked his life testifying with this case.
43:19He also has information that corroborates
43:21what's in that file.
43:22But he will not give up anything until he knows he's safe.
43:27But if you don't want to hand this over to the feds yourself
43:30and take all the credit for a big case like this,
43:33I will gladly do it.
43:34No, no.
43:35It's fine.
43:37I will make sure Adrian Hunter is protected,
43:40despite the fact that he didn't end up helping us much.
43:44And make sure you enjoy this win.
43:46It's the last one you'll be getting from me.
43:57Breaking news.
43:58Evan Girard, financial advisor
44:00and alleged sex trafficking ringleader
44:03was arrested moments ago outside his country club in Los Angeles.
44:07District Attorney Henry Kwan had this to say on the topic.
44:10Mr. Girard used colored bracelets as a kind of code
44:14indicating how many men the young girls were expected to sleep with per session.
44:18That's disgusting.
44:20I hope he rides in prison for the rest of his life.
44:22Me too.
44:23And I'm happy Adrian is safe now.
44:25And I'm happy that you're safe.
44:38Hey.
44:39Any calls?
44:40Just some nosy tabloid reporter regarding Adrian's testimony.
44:44This just came in for you.
44:46Oh.
44:47Looks like my desktop scanner has arrived.
44:49Come on, same day prime.
44:51Pearl.
44:52Pearl.
44:56What?
44:58It looks like TZT just got a picture of Tony's ass at the hospital getting a DNA test.
45:04Jesus.
45:05You can't make this shit up, girl.
45:08Some lab tech sold that photo and then quit her job.
45:11They are killing Tony in them comments.
45:14But I admit, I am here for all the shenanigans.
45:36Five minutes until we go live.
45:53Come on.
45:58Cory.
45:59Jess.
46:17Wait a minute, I have those crazy fake connections.
46:19What are you saying?
46:21Yes.
46:22I'm gonna take it if you don't believe me.
46:52Hey.
47:11Hey, Terrence.
47:13Look, I can't keep it from her anymore.
47:16I'm gonna tell Jax tonight.
47:22Jax.
47:25Jax.
47:30Jax.
47:33Jax.
47:35Hey.
47:38I, um...
47:42There's something I need to tell you.
47:45Is it about Tony?
47:49It's your baby, isn't it?
47:52Yeah.
47:54Jax, I can explain.
48:21I'm sorry.
48:51I'm sorry.
