[Krystal Walters]
Previously on Reasonable Doubt...
2
00:00:02,711 --> 00:00:04,671
- And the name is Tucker.
- How bad was it?
3
00:00:04,671 --> 00:00:06,089
[Jax Stewart]
Did you know about these?
4
00:00:06,089 --> 00:00:07,174
I took 'em.
5
00:00:07,174 --> 00:00:08,926
[crying]
He just kept hurting her, Chris,
6
00:00:08,926 --> 00:00:10,594
and he wasn't gonna stop.
7
00:00:10,594 --> 00:00:11,720
Fuck you, JT.
8
00:00:11,720 --> 00:00:14,181
Did you get a chance to talk
to any of JT's ex-girlfriends?
9
00:00:14,181 --> 00:00:15,724
Quite a few of them
don't want the attention,
10
00:00:15,724 --> 00:00:17,226
given the way Shanelle's being dragged.
11
00:00:17,226 --> 00:00:20,479
The last thing this department needs
is another embarrassing loss.
12
00:00:21,188 --> 00:00:22,981
[Peter Thompson]
It's good to see you, Lucy.
13
00:00:22,981 --> 00:00:24,149
How did you find me?
14
00:00:24,149 --> 00:00:25,609
[process server] Lucy Wargo?
15
00:00:26,818 --> 00:00:29,112
Are you two looking
to reconcile or uncouple?
16
00:00:29,112 --> 00:00:30,447
- Reconcile.
- Reconcile.
17
00:00:31,823 --> 00:00:32,908
I should stop.
18
00:00:33,283 --> 00:00:34,826
[Lewis Stewart]
I know how much you love Jax.
19
00:00:34,826 --> 00:00:37,162
Fuck that, you're my big brother.
20
00:00:37,162 --> 00:00:38,997
She ain't shit to me
without you, understood?
21
00:00:38,997 --> 00:00:41,083
- [Jax] Just leave.
- Where else am I gonna go, Jax?
22
00:00:41,083 --> 00:00:42,876
You think I give a fuck?
23
00:00:42,876 --> 00:00:44,670
That's not what
unconditional love is about.
24
00:00:44,670 --> 00:00:47,130
Sounds like something
that you didn't receive as a child.
25
00:00:47,548 --> 00:00:50,008
[Jax] Paul made
sexual advances towards me.
26
00:00:50,008 --> 00:00:52,761
I am a father, and I'm not
gonna pretend I can't be.
27
00:00:52,761 --> 00:00:55,973
Do you know who the father
of your unborn child is?
28
00:00:55,973 --> 00:00:57,224
No.
29
00:00:57,224 --> 00:00:58,809
The baby is mine.
30
00:00:59,393 --> 00:01:01,728
[voice breaking] If you don't wanna
be with me anymore, that is fine,
31
00:01:01,728 --> 00:01:03,981
but you can't stop me from loving you.

[chuckles]
143
00:06:20,631 --> 00:06:22,424
So, today, we're gonna hear
testimony from Dr. Michaels
144
00:06:22,424 --> 00:06:23,717
who's brilliant and charming,
145
00:06:23,717 --> 00:06:27,054
and she's gonna show how JT
would've tried to kill Shanelle.
146
00:06:27,054 --> 00:06:29,223
Then we have Porter,
the handwriting expert.
147
00:06:29,223 --> 00:06:32,643
She's gonna prove that Shanelle
didn't sign those money transfers.
148
00:06:32,643 --> 00:06:34,394
Then we have Agent Ali who's gonna show
149
00:06:34,394 --> 00:06:37,105
that Shanelle did not steal
JT's $30 million.
150
00:06:37,105 --> 00:06:39,483
Yeah, that's good,
but the state relied on the balance
151
00:06:39,483 --> 00:06:42,694
of experts and eyewitnesses who tried
to prove that Shanelle planned the murder.
152
00:06:42,694 --> 00:06:46,031
We need witnesses other than Shanelle
to connect to the jurors.
153
00:06:46,031 --> 00:06:48,575
We need to show
that she was trying to leave him,
154
00:06:48,575 --> 00:06:51,828
and that his abuse
escalated to a, a, a fight to the death.
155
00:06:51,828 --> 00:06:53,372
And that's why we have Sally.
156
00:06:53,372 --> 00:06:56,375
Sally's gonna show the steps
that Shanelle took to leave.
157
00:06:56,375 --> 00:06:59,002
Daniel, did you get an opportunity
to land one of JT's exes?
158
00:06:59,002 --> 00:07:01,255
Uh, no. Uh, I talked to five of them,
159
00:07:01,255 --> 00:07:05,092
none of them will come forward,
but I have one left.
160

from the restraining orders office?
164
00:07:13,809 --> 00:07:17,020
You know, unlike Eboni, the ex, and Sally,
she'll show as unbiased,
165
00:07:17,020 --> 00:07:18,981
and she will prove that Shanelle
was trying to leave him.

Perfect, I'll reach out to her and see--
170
00:07:25,571 --> 00:07:29,116

00:07:32,619 --> 00:07:34,329
- She's out. Jurors don't like fame whores.
- Yeah.
174
00:07:34,329 --> 00:07:36,081
Okay, that's true, that's true.
175
00:07:36,081 --> 00:07:38,166
But we should still watch the interview
to see how bad it is,
176
00:07:38,166 --> 00:07:40,002
then decide if we wanna
put her on the stand.
177
00:07:40,002 --> 00:07:41,587
She might still be a strong witness.
178
00:07:41,587 --> 00:07:44,423
Okay, but at the end of the day,
our most important witness is Shanelle,
179
00:07:44,423 --> 00:07:46,925
and as long as she's strong, we're solid.
180
00:07:47,926 --> 00:07:51,180
Hey, hey, hey.
Good luck in court today, Tucker.
181
00:07:52,431 --> 00:07:53,891
- Thank you, Baker.
- [Baker] Hmm.
182
00:07:53,891 --> 00:07:55,767
I'll tell you all about it when I'm back.
183
00:07:55,767 --> 00:07:57,144
You good?
184
00:07:57,144 --> 00:08:00,689
Any morning you can pull the sheet
from your own face, it's a good one.
185
00:08:01,273 --> 00:08:03,817
I know that's right. Later, Baker.
186
00:08:05,611 --> 00:08:06,695
[Corey Cash] The Defense calls...
187
00:08:06,695 --> 00:08:08,113
Dr. Brandy Michaels,
188
00:08:08,113 --> 00:08:10,032
director for
the Institute for the Prevention
189
00:08:10,032 --> 00:08:11,742
of Intimate Partner Violence.
190
00:08:11,742 --> 00:08:13,368
Dr. Michaels, can you explain
191
00:08:13,368 --> 00:08:16,580
how a victim can end up
in an abusive relationship?
192
00:08:17,039 --> 00:08:20,125
I will use "he" for abuser
and "she" for victim,
193
00:08:20,125 --> 00:08:22,544
but abuse affects
relationships of all kinds.
194
00:08:23,045 --> 00:08:25,547
An abuser and a victim
will begin a romance.
195
00:08:25,547 --> 00:08:28,675
He will act like the perfect partner,
make grand gestures,
196
00:08:28,675 --> 00:08:31,261
or share his trauma
to make her feel for him.
197
00:08:31,261 --> 00:08:34,306
In time, he'll begin
to exert his control over her,
198
00:08:34,306 --> 00:08:36,141
trapping her in a pattern of abuse.
199
00:08:36,141 --> 00:08:38,101
And how is a victim trapped?
200
00:08:38,101 --> 00:08:40,145
He'll act out to build tension,
201
00:08:40,145 --> 00:08:41,772
make her think there's something wrong,
202
00:08:41,772 --> 00:08:43,273
that it's all her fault.
203
00:08:43,273 --> 00:08:45,567
And because he's been the perfect partner
204
00:08:45,567 --> 00:08:48,195
and she knows the trauma
that he's been through in the past,
205
00:08:48,195 --> 00:08:49,279
she'll believe him.
206
00:08:49,279 --> 00:08:51,740
The tension grows
until there's an incident of abuse.
207
00:08:52,741 --> 00:08:56,662
He may try to make it up to her,
or swear it'll never happen again,
208
00:08:56,662 --> 00:08:58,622
but there will always be more abuse.
209
00:08:58,622 --> 00:08:59,957
What kind of abuse?
210
00:08:59,957 --> 00:09:02,835
Emotional, verbal, isolation,
211
00:09:02,835 --> 00:09:05,796
reproductive coercion, financial control.
212
00:09:06,505 --> 00:09:08,924
Physical abuse
is often the last step he'll take.
213
00:09:08,924 --> 00:09:10,259
And why is that?
214
00:09:10,259 --> 00:09:13,303
Well, if he's violent
on the first date, she'll leave.
215
00:09:13,303 --> 00:09:16,765
But she's less likely to do that
with her husband of 10 years
216
00:09:16,765 --> 00:09:18,141
or if he controls all the money.
217
00:09:18,642 --> 00:09:20,185
[Corey] Now, are there times when
218
00:09:20,185 --> 00:09:22,104
a victim is more at risk
of harm than others?
219
00:09:22,729 --> 00:09:24,565
Yes, when she tries to leave him.
220
00:09:24,565 --> 00:09:29,403
And are there times when a abuser
is more likely to kill his victims?
221
00:09:30,279 --> 00:09:32,531
Yes, if he strangles her,
222
00:09:33,323 --> 00:09:36,034
he is over 700 times
more likely to kill her.
223
00:09:36,493 --> 00:09:40,497
And the tricky part is is that even if
she's been through other types of abuse,
224
00:09:40,497 --> 00:09:42,791
she will most likely only get help
from the legal system
225
00:09:42,791 --> 00:09:44,501
if he gets physical.
226
00:09:44,501 --> 00:09:47,838
Why would a victim not be able
to get help from the authorities?
227
00:09:48,255 --> 00:09:51,091
She may be afraid or ashamed
228
00:09:51,091 --> 00:09:53,552
or she may have concerns
about the legal system.
229
00:09:53,552 --> 00:09:54,928
[Corey] What type of concerns?
230
00:09:54,928 --> 00:09:58,265
Well, if she's Black, sexism and racism.
231
00:09:58,265 --> 00:10:00,893
Forty-five percent of us
experience violence or stalking,
232
00:10:00,893 --> 00:10:04,021
but we are less likely
to be seen as victims.
233
00:10:04,021 --> 00:10:08,192
And she may fear involving the police
because of police violence.
234
00:10:08,192 --> 00:10:10,944
But as a Black woman,
if she kills her abuser,
235
00:10:11,403 --> 00:10:13,989
she is 80% more likely to be convicted.
236
00:10:15,282 --> 00:10:16,491
[Corey] Thank you.
237
00:10:18,619 --> 00:10:22,122
How often are Black men the victims
of intimate partner violence?
238
00:10:22,122 --> 00:10:26,210
Forty percent experience
intimate partner violence or stalking.
239
00:10:26,210 --> 00:10:28,086
Let's say you have a wife
240
00:10:28,086 --> 00:10:31,048
who slaps her husband in public
and later kills him.
241
00:10:31,048 --> 00:10:32,341
Would you also say that he was a victim?
242
00:10:32,341 --> 00:10:34,968
- Objection, argumentative.
- Sustained.
243
00:10:34,968 --> 00:10:38,805
Do most financial abuse victims
have accounts with $30 million?
244
00:10:38,805 --> 00:10:41,892
No, financial abuse
is used to control the victim
245
00:10:41,892 --> 00:10:43,101
so she can't leave.
246
00:10:43,101 --> 00:10:46,772
[Lucy Wargo] So, in your opinion,
a wife with that kind of wealth
247
00:10:46,772 --> 00:10:49,733
has the option
to leave her husband rather than kill him?
248
00:10:49,733 --> 00:10:51,818
- Objection.
- Withdrawn.
249
00:10:53,195 --> 00:10:54,821
[Corey] Dr. Michaels, can you explain
250
00:10:54,821 --> 00:10:58,742
what financial abuse looks like
in a wealthy home?
251
00:10:59,535 --> 00:11:02,412
She may drive a fancy car that's not hers,
252
00:11:02,412 --> 00:11:03,997
nor is the house that she lives in.
253
00:11:03,997 --> 00:11:07,167
And if she leaves,
she'll have no assets or credit.
254
00:11:07,584 --> 00:11:09,461
And if he sees her leaving,
255
00:11:09,461 --> 00:11:12,923
he may do anything to stop her,
even try to kill her.
256
00:11:16,343 --> 00:11:17,427
Thank you.
257
00:11:19,429 --> 00:11:20,514
[exhales]
258
00:11:22,850 --> 00:11:24,017
[bell ringing]
259
00:11:24,017 --> 00:11:25,602
- Bye, Spenser.
- [Spenser] Bye.
260
00:11:27,104 --> 00:11:29,064
[Jax] Ohh, who's that?
261
00:11:29,606 --> 00:11:30,607
It's Aisha.
262
00:11:30,607 --> 00:11:32,818

271
00:11:48,542 --> 00:11:50,711

- [John Wargo] But, Mom?
272
00:11:50,711 --> 00:11:52,421
No, come on,
let's get in the car right now.
273
00:11:52,421 --> 00:11:54,882
[Peter]
Oh, sorry, John. I'll see you soon.
274
00:11:58,093 --> 00:11:59,219
[engine starts]
275
00:12:00,679 --> 00:12:04,892
And so, yes, I decided
to give Lewis a chance,
276
00:12:04,892 --> 00:12:07,186
in the same way he gave me.
277
00:12:07,186 --> 00:12:10,397
And I just wanna be with her
and to make her life easier.
278
00:12:11,273 --> 00:12:13,233
Yeah, I probably shouldn't be saying this,
279
00:12:13,233 --> 00:12:16,528
but, uh, I'm really happy
you guys decided not to uncouple.
280
00:12:16,528 --> 00:12:19,072
- Look at you!
- Check Dr., check Dr. Webb out.
281
00:12:19,740 --> 00:12:21,366
I see you, Dr. Webb. Okay.
282
00:12:21,366 --> 00:12:23,368
Okay, alright, alright.
283
00:12:23,368 --> 00:12:25,495
So, what's next?
284
00:12:26,455 --> 00:12:27,581
Uh...
285
00:12:28,248 --> 00:12:32,503
I mean, we, obviously, still have things
that we need to figure out, right?
286
00:12:32,503 --> 00:12:34,338
I mean, we both have a lot going though.
287
00:12:34,338 --> 00:12:35,422
I ha-- I have the trial. He--
288
00:12:35,422 --> 00:12:38,258
And I, and I have my launch, and, uh,
my brother, Terrence, is coming to town,
289
00:12:38,258 --> 00:12:39,801
so that, that should be interesting.
290
00:12:40,469 --> 00:12:42,179
Why you say that?
291
00:12:44,181 --> 00:12:45,682
What did you tell him?
292
00:12:45,682 --> 00:12:47,893
Uh, everything.
293
00:12:49,394 --> 00:12:52,147
- Oh.
- I mean, I had to talk to someone.
294
00:12:52,147 --> 00:12:53,607
You definitely already told your friends.
295
00:12:53,607 --> 00:12:55,359
I mean, Sally damn near
called me a piece of shit.
296
00:12:55,359 --> 00:12:56,443
And what about the baby?
297
00:12:56,443 --> 00:12:58,111
How are you going to tell the kids?
298
00:13:00,072 --> 00:13:01,114
Well, listen, like I said,
299
00:13:01,114 --> 00:13:03,492
I'm happy you guys
decided to stay together.
300
00:13:03,492 --> 00:13:07,788
But we work now on the "staying" part
of staying together.
301
00:13:08,413 --> 00:13:10,374
And the only way to get that done
302
00:13:11,041 --> 00:13:12,668
is by having some hard conversations,
303
00:13:12,668 --> 00:13:15,128
and getting through them
by working together,
304
00:13:15,128 --> 00:13:16,588
we're not going against each other,
305
00:13:17,047 --> 00:13:19,925
and that is what's gonna
make this union successful.
306
00:13:22,261 --> 00:13:23,387
Okay.
307
00:13:25,138 --> 00:13:29,601
But, yeah, but there's, there's
so many things that we have to figure out.
308
00:13:29,601 --> 00:13:30,853
Where do we start?
309
00:13:31,228 --> 00:13:32,312
I have an idea.
310
00:13:36,733 --> 00:13:38,318
- Hey.
- Hey.
311
00:13:38,318 --> 00:13:39,736
Can we come in?
312
00:13:43,949 --> 00:13:45,117
Jax.
313
00:13:45,617 --> 00:13:46,785
Toni.
314
00:13:47,828 --> 00:13:48,954
Sure.
315
00:13:52,958 --> 00:13:56,503
I, we, um, have decided
to be in the baby's life,
316
00:13:56,503 --> 00:13:59,298
and if I'm going to co-parent,
Jax is gonna be involved too.
317
00:13:59,882 --> 00:14:03,010
Which is why we're here,
to figure out how to make it work.
318
00:14:04,261 --> 00:14:08,599
Well, I guess he'll be a lucky boy.
319
00:14:09,683 --> 00:14:13,687
Boy? Wow. Look at that.
320
00:14:13,687 --> 00:14:16,315
Yeah, I've always wanted a boy.
321
00:14:16,315 --> 00:14:18,025
[Jax] Boys can be a lot.
322
00:14:18,650 --> 00:14:20,527
Now, Spenser, he ran me ragged,
323
00:14:20,527 --> 00:14:22,112
and I wasn't even a single mom.
324
00:14:22,112 --> 00:14:24,198
Well, neither am I.
325
00:14:24,198 --> 00:14:26,909
Yes, you have two baby daddies now.
326
00:14:29,119 --> 00:14:30,162
Uh, Jax.
327
00:14:30,162 --> 00:14:31,496
I didn't mean it in a shady way.
328
00:14:31,496 --> 00:14:35,292
But you're right,
you'll have all the help you need.
329
00:14:36,210 --> 00:14:37,294
I sure will.
330
00:14:41,798 --> 00:14:43,258
[Spenser]
Today is teacher development day.
331
00:14:43,258 --> 00:14:45,844
That's not fair.
I wanna switch schools.
332
00:14:45,844 --> 00:14:47,679
Well, you can't play video games all day.
333
00:14:47,679 --> 00:14:49,932
Well, a few people
in the play are practicing
334
00:14:49,932 --> 00:14:51,683
for the showcase at a friend's house.
335
00:14:51,683 --> 00:14:53,435
You mean, your boo Aisha's house?
336
00:14:53,435 --> 00:14:55,896
She's not my-- We're friends, a'ight?
337
00:14:55,896 --> 00:14:58,023
Okay, wait, is that the girl
you were talking to yesterday?
338
00:14:58,440 --> 00:14:59,566
- She's cute.
- Yeah.
339
00:14:59,566 --> 00:15:01,235
He thinks so too.
340
00:15:01,235 --> 00:15:03,904
I heard him on the phone,
"Oh, Aisha, I love her so much."
341
00:15:03,904 --> 00:15:05,822
- Ooh.
- You wish somebody liked you.
342
00:15:05,822 --> 00:15:08,158
- What?
- Hey. Uh-uh. Stop it now, both of you.
343
00:15:10,494 --> 00:15:13,163
Can I go... please?
344
00:15:13,163 --> 00:15:14,540
Look, Aisha's parents gonna be there?
345
00:15:14,540 --> 00:15:15,832
'Cause if not, that's a big no.
346
00:15:15,832 --> 00:15:18,669
Aisha said her dad
is working from home. So?
347
00:15:21,922 --> 00:15:24,341
Alright, I'll drop you off
at Aisha's house.
348
00:15:24,925 --> 00:15:26,885
Yes! I'm gonna go take a shower.
349
00:15:26,885 --> 00:15:30,222
[♪ upbeat, cheerful music playing]
350
00:15:30,222 --> 00:15:31,807
[Jax] Really, y'all need to stop.
351
00:15:34,768 --> 00:15:38,188
I obviously didn't use my name
or Peter's when I talked to Judge Wu.
352
00:15:39,398 --> 00:15:43,402
But when she said that, uh,
my witness only had a 50/50 chance
353
00:15:43,402 --> 00:15:45,946
of getting
a restraining order for her ex--
354
00:15:45,946 --> 00:15:47,906
Fifty-fifty is not so bad.
355
00:15:47,906 --> 00:15:50,492
Although, you would have
an easier time getting an order
356
00:15:50,492 --> 00:15:53,161
if his conviction
was for domestic violence,
357
00:15:53,161 --> 00:15:55,122
not a DUI and gun possession.
358
00:15:55,789 --> 00:15:57,833
Why don't you just tell John
the truth about his dad?
359
00:15:57,833 --> 00:15:58,959
No.
360
00:16:00,419 --> 00:16:03,463
I have shown him photos and videos
361
00:16:03,463 --> 00:16:05,716
and pretended like his dad was this, uh...
362
00:16:07,176 --> 00:16:09,219
misunderstood good guy
363
00:16:09,219 --> 00:16:11,722
who will run to him
as soon as he became free.
364
00:16:11,722 --> 00:16:16,059
And now, my monster
is John's superhero because of me.
365
00:16:16,059 --> 00:16:17,895
None of this is your fault.
366
00:16:17,895 --> 00:16:20,272
At the custody hearing,
you have two advantages.
367
00:16:20,898 --> 00:16:22,065
You've taken care of John,
368
00:16:22,065 --> 00:16:24,067
- alone, for years...
- Mm-hm.
369
00:16:24,067 --> 00:16:25,694
...and the court will look
favorably on you
370
00:16:25,694 --> 00:16:29,656
as long as you can show stability,
like your DA job.
371
00:16:29,656 --> 00:16:30,782
Okay.
372
00:16:31,825 --> 00:16:32,910
Let's hope I can keep it.
373
00:16:32,910 --> 00:16:34,494
I should go.
374
00:16:34,494 --> 00:16:37,539
But in the meantime,
try not to stress too much.
375
00:16:37,539 --> 00:16:38,832
Okay.
376
00:16:43,795 --> 00:16:46,006
Hey, Lucy. Another great day, huh?
377
00:16:46,006 --> 00:16:48,342
Hey, Davis, yeah...
378
00:16:49,635 --> 00:16:51,053
another great day.
379
00:16:51,053 --> 00:16:52,763
[Corey]
The Defense calls Francesca Porter.
380
00:16:52,763 --> 00:16:54,598
I'm a forensic document examiner
381
00:16:54,598 --> 00:16:56,558
and certified handwriting analyst.
382
00:16:56,558 --> 00:16:58,602
Agent Abdul Ali of the FBI.
383
00:16:58,602 --> 00:17:01,313
I just closed an investigation
into Jamarion Tucker's charity.
384
00:17:01,313 --> 00:17:03,899
Now, I'm showing you
the People's Exhibit 35.
385
00:17:03,899 --> 00:17:05,317
Do you know what that is?
386
00:17:05,317 --> 00:17:08,570
Yes, documents creating
a trust for Mrs. Tucker
387
00:17:08,570 --> 00:17:10,739
and transferring $30 million.
388
00:17:10,739 --> 00:17:13,450
Does her signature show
that she had the legal power
389
00:17:13,450 --> 00:17:16,245
to use and transfer the money
however she liked?
390
00:17:16,245 --> 00:17:18,914
- Yes.
- [Lucy] Including the $30 million transfer
391
00:17:18,914 --> 00:17:20,415
that happened prior to the victim's death?
392
00:17:20,415 --> 00:17:21,500
Yes.
393
00:17:21,500 --> 00:17:25,212
Now, in your opinion, is the signature
on People's Exhibit 35 authentic?
394
00:17:25,212 --> 00:17:28,924
No, I reviewed dozens
of documents signed by the defendant.
395
00:17:28,924 --> 00:17:31,760
Her signature on the right
is consistent across time periods,
396
00:17:31,760 --> 00:17:33,679
but here, on the left,
397
00:17:33,679 --> 00:17:35,931
the signatures lack
the fundamental characteristics
398
00:17:35,931 --> 00:17:37,516
that define her other writing.
399
00:17:37,516 --> 00:17:40,686
Can a person's authentic signature
sometimes change?
400
00:17:40,686 --> 00:17:43,063
For example,
if the defendant's wrist was injured?
401
00:17:43,063 --> 00:17:45,566
- Objection, lack of foundation.
- Sustained.
402
00:17:47,150 --> 00:17:49,403
Please look to Defense Exhibit 12.
403
00:17:49,403 --> 00:17:50,529
Do you recognize that document?
404
00:17:50,529 --> 00:17:53,991
Yes, it's a check written
from Mr. Tucker's charitable foundation,
405
00:17:53,991 --> 00:17:56,618
and drawn from an account
shared by him and Evan Gerrard.
406
00:17:56,618 --> 00:17:58,161
And this check was payment
407
00:17:58,161 --> 00:18:00,414
for reducing his yardage
in the game the prior day.
408
00:18:00,414 --> 00:18:01,790
It's a front to fix football games.
409
00:18:01,790 --> 00:18:04,543
Do you think the signature
on this check belongs to the defendant?
410
00:18:04,543 --> 00:18:06,253
No, I do not believe so.
411
00:18:06,253 --> 00:18:08,463
We have reams of documents
proving Mr. Tucker
412
00:18:08,463 --> 00:18:10,966
and others fixed games,
laundered gambling money
413
00:18:10,966 --> 00:18:12,384
through the charity and used it,
414
00:18:12,384 --> 00:18:14,469
but Mrs. Tucker
never drew from the charity
415
00:18:14,469 --> 00:18:15,554
or its secret accounts.
416
00:18:15,554 --> 00:18:16,972
[Corey] Have you ever had a case
417
00:18:16,972 --> 00:18:19,725
where a husband had his wife
sign some documents
418
00:18:19,725 --> 00:18:21,518
to move some money
that she would never use?
419
00:18:21,518 --> 00:18:23,103
I've had dozens of cases like that.
420
00:18:23,103 --> 00:18:24,813
Why might a husband
do something like that?
421
00:18:24,813 --> 00:18:26,231
Skip out on taxes
422
00:18:26,231 --> 00:18:28,400
or to set her up, since if she signs,
423
00:18:28,400 --> 00:18:31,612
he avoids doing time while the wife
spends the rest of her life in prison.
424
00:18:31,612 --> 00:18:34,281
What a terrible thing to do. Thank you.
425
00:18:34,281 --> 00:18:35,866
[inaudible dialogue]
426
00:18:42,206 --> 00:18:44,333
[cell phone ringing]
427
00:18:45,209 --> 00:18:47,669
- Hey, Ma, it's not a good time.
- [Mama Lu] [on phone] Then, I'll be quick.
428
00:18:47,669 --> 00:18:50,005
Kevin and I would like
for you and Lewis and the kids
429
00:18:50,005 --> 00:18:52,090
to come over for lunch on Saturday.
430
00:18:52,090 --> 00:18:54,009
Tomorrow? I have the trial, I can't--
431
00:18:54,009 --> 00:18:55,385
It's getting serious.
432
00:18:55,385 --> 00:18:58,472
Between me and Kevin, I mean.
I really want you to meet him.
433
00:18:58,472 --> 00:19:00,724
Okay, and since when
do you care what I think?
434
00:19:00,724 --> 00:19:03,977
Since now. I care, Jacqueline.
435
00:19:06,438 --> 00:19:09,316
Okay. Okay, we'll be there.
436
00:19:09,942 --> 00:19:11,109
Thank you.

Oh, shit. Hey, that was fire.

Thanks, man. You know,
I still gotta work on it though.

Oh, my God, really?

'Cause you can go
on stage, like, tomorrow.

- Oh yeah?
- [Aisha's dad] Hey, Aisha,
446
00:19:41,890 --> 00:19:43,976
I gotta step out for a bit,
work emergency,
447
00:19:43,976 --> 00:19:45,310
but you guys be good, okay?

Uh, yeah, we're good, Dad.

S-So, no one's home?
453
00:20:01,994 --> 00:20:03,078
Nope.
454
00:20:04,538 --> 00:20:05,998
You want anything?
455
00:20:07,416 --> 00:20:11,378
N-- I d-- I don't do that type of stuff,
but I vape though.
456
00:20:12,004 --> 00:20:13,338
I left mine at home.
457
00:20:13,338 --> 00:20:15,257
I mean, I don't do
this kind of stuff either,
458
00:20:15,257 --> 00:20:19,887
but I'm glad you don't,
makes me like you more.
459
00:20:21,138 --> 00:20:23,182
- Okay.
- [Aisha] I'll go get my vape.
460
00:20:33,901 --> 00:20:35,444
[softly] Shit. Okay.
461
00:20:39,114 --> 00:20:41,116

Hey, Jax.
464
00:20:46,455 --> 00:20:49,082
Uh... where's your dad?
465
00:20:49,082 --> 00:20:50,501
Well, he had to work late,
466
00:20:50,501 --> 00:20:52,836
so Uncle Terrence
picked me up from school,
467
00:20:52,836 --> 00:20:55,047
since he's the only one
who cares about me.
468
00:20:55,047 --> 00:20:57,633
Really, Naima? [scoffs]
469
00:20:57,633 --> 00:20:59,384
Why don't you go finish
your homework in your room
470
00:20:59,384 --> 00:21:01,595
while I talk to Uncle Terrence?
471
00:21:02,012 --> 00:21:03,472
Okay. Bye, Uncle Terrence.
472
00:21:03,472 --> 00:21:05,807
Ah! [grunting]
473
00:21:05,807 --> 00:21:07,935
- Yeah. [laughs]
- Love you, baby.
474
00:21:07,935 --> 00:21:09,144
Love you too.

[Jax clears throat]
478
00:21:19,363 --> 00:21:21,990
I know Lewis told you
what's been going on,
479
00:21:21,990 --> 00:21:23,492
and I know you're probably on his side.
480
00:21:23,492 --> 00:21:25,911
No, my brother nearly blew up
his life for a side chick.
481
00:21:25,911 --> 00:21:27,579
I'm not on his side.
482
00:21:28,622 --> 00:21:29,706
But I'm not on your side either.
483
00:21:31,166 --> 00:21:32,751
I know you have
your own opinions, Terrence,
484
00:21:32,751 --> 00:21:35,003
but at the end of the day,
he is my husband.
485
00:21:35,003 --> 00:21:36,505
And he's my brother.
486
00:21:37,089 --> 00:21:39,132
And as much as I love you, Jax,
you scare me
487
00:21:39,132 --> 00:21:40,551
because when the going gets tough--
488
00:21:40,551 --> 00:21:42,344
I'm still here, Terrence.
489
00:21:43,387 --> 00:21:44,972
For now.
490
00:21:44,972 --> 00:21:46,890
But this shit with this baby,
it's gonna be a lot.
491
00:21:46,890 --> 00:21:48,100
And not just this year.
492
00:21:48,100 --> 00:21:50,477
Are you okay with him
putting away less for retirement
493
00:21:50,477 --> 00:21:52,688
to pay a college tuition for another kid?
494
00:21:52,688 --> 00:21:54,147
And blended family holidays?
495
00:21:54,147 --> 00:21:55,482
That-That's just a tiny piece of it.
496
00:21:55,482 --> 00:21:59,069
So, let me ask you this, Jax,
are you really gonna be all in?
497
00:21:59,945 --> 00:22:02,656
Because if not, you need to tell him now.
498
00:22:02,656 --> 00:22:04,449
You already hurt him once,
and I'll be damned
499
00:22:04,449 --> 00:22:05,784
if I let you do it again.
500
00:22:07,369 --> 00:22:10,038
And by the way, you, you, you
keep calling it a "side baby."
501
00:22:10,873 --> 00:22:12,374
It's a "break baby."
502
00:22:12,374 --> 00:22:15,252
A baby that was made
during the break that you both enjoyed.
503
00:22:15,252 --> 00:22:16,920
- Let me tell you something, okay--
- [door opens]
504
00:22:16,920 --> 00:22:18,172
[Spenser] What's up, Uncle Terrence?
505
00:22:18,172 --> 00:22:20,799
- [laughs] Hey, what's going on, kid?
- What's going on, man?
506
00:22:20,799 --> 00:22:22,217
- Hey, baby.
- [Terrence] You lookin' good.
507
00:22:22,217 --> 00:22:23,510
[Spenser] Hey, man. What's up, Mom?
508
00:22:23,510 --> 00:22:25,053
- What's going on, babe?
- [Jax] Hey.
509
00:22:25,053 --> 00:22:26,263
Hey.
510
00:22:27,014 --> 00:22:28,182
- Yo.
- Hey-hey-hey. [laughs]
511
00:22:28,182 --> 00:22:30,475

and I also helped her sell
some of her things online.
680
00:30:08,225 --> 00:30:09,226
And this number right here,
681
00:30:09,226 --> 00:30:12,563
I also helped her find a therapist
for her and for Jordan.
682
00:30:12,563 --> 00:30:16,233
She wanted to leave,
but her kids, they mean everything to her.
683
00:30:17,651 --> 00:30:19,027
No further questions.
684
00:30:22,281 --> 00:30:26,076
Mrs. Braswell, please, take a look
at Defense exhibit 35.
685
00:30:26,076 --> 00:30:27,536
There are 15 items on the list.
686
00:30:27,536 --> 00:30:29,329
How many did you
and the defendant complete together?
687
00:30:29,329 --> 00:30:30,497
Four.
688
00:30:30,956 --> 00:30:33,375
In all those months,
you only finished four items?
689
00:30:33,375 --> 00:30:36,086
Yeah, we moved slow
so she would stay alive.
690
00:30:36,086 --> 00:30:38,589
Okay, so, on what day
was she supposed to leave Mr. Tucker?
691
00:30:38,589 --> 00:30:40,132
We didn't have an exact date.
692
00:30:40,132 --> 00:30:42,759
Well, if you were helping your sister,
why didn't you have a date in mind?
693
00:30:42,759 --> 00:30:45,804
She was giving up her marriage,
her home, her entire life,
694
00:30:45,804 --> 00:30:47,097
that's not easy, quick, or cheap.
695
00:30:47,097 --> 00:30:49,224
Interesting that you should mention money.
696
00:30:49,224 --> 00:30:52,895
Were all of the items
that you two sold owned by the defendant?
697
00:30:52,895 --> 00:30:54,062
Yes, of course.
698
00:30:54,062 --> 00:30:57,065
I'm now showing you People's Exhibit 47.
Do you know what that is?
699
00:30:57,065 --> 00:30:58,984
Yes, it's a receipt for a jersey.
700
00:30:58,984 --> 00:31:00,485
Please, read the text at the bottom.
701
00:31:00,485 --> 00:31:02,487
"Verified jersey as worn by JT."
702
00:31:02,487 --> 00:31:04,114
- Did it belong to the victim?
- Yes.
703
00:31:04,114 --> 00:31:05,449
Did you and the defendant sell it?
704
00:31:05,449 --> 00:31:07,326
Yes, he had a million of them
laying around.
705
00:31:07,326 --> 00:31:08,911
Everything else we sold was hers.
706
00:31:08,911 --> 00:31:10,996
So, when you weren't stealing from him,
707
00:31:11,455 --> 00:31:14,958
did you ever see the victim
inflict injuries on the defendant?
708
00:31:14,958 --> 00:31:16,168
- No.
- [Lucy] No?
709
00:31:16,168 --> 00:31:18,712
Even the night that you,
allegedly, called the police
710
00:31:18,712 --> 00:31:21,089
after a shouting match, he didn't hit her.
711
00:31:21,089 --> 00:31:23,425
So, how do you know
that the victim is responsible
712
00:31:23,425 --> 00:31:24,760
for the injuries in this photo?
713
00:31:24,760 --> 00:31:27,221
Shanelle would not lie to me
about something so personal.
714
00:31:27,221 --> 00:31:29,765
Oh, so you knew that she was
having an affair with Adrian Hunter?
715
00:31:29,765 --> 00:31:31,141
- No.
- [Lucy] Oh. [laughs]
716
00:31:31,141 --> 00:31:33,435
So, sometimes, the defendant steals
717
00:31:33,435 --> 00:31:35,729
and keeps big secrets from you.
718
00:31:35,729 --> 00:31:38,482
A person with a heart that big
does not lie or hurt anyone.
719
00:31:38,482 --> 00:31:42,402
Except for the father of her child
who she caved his skull in.
720
00:31:42,402 --> 00:31:44,321
I'm glad it was him and not her.
721
00:31:44,321 --> 00:31:46,406
That son of a bitch
deserved to fucking die.
722
00:31:46,406 --> 00:31:49,076
[all murmuring]
723
00:31:50,494 --> 00:31:51,537
[exhales]
724
00:31:53,539 --> 00:31:54,957
No further questions.
725
00:32:00,379 --> 00:32:02,464
[♪ tense music playing]
726
00:32:04,550 --> 00:32:06,343
Yo, what happened? Where's Baker?
727
00:32:06,343 --> 00:32:08,178
The morgue.
Today, she found out her court case
728
00:32:08,178 --> 00:32:10,055
[muffled voice fading]
was pushed another nine months,
729
00:32:10,055 --> 00:32:12,182
so I guess she didn't feel
like waiting any longer.
730
00:32:13,141 --> 00:32:14,142
[inaudible dialogue]
731
00:32:23,735 --> 00:32:26,530
[Corey] Sally's testimony
really set our defense back.
732
00:32:26,530 --> 00:32:30,826
We need to find someone else who can show
how Shanelle was trying to leave.
733
00:32:31,201 --> 00:32:33,829
- What about Rebecca Gray?
- No, no, she's tainted by the interview.
734
00:32:33,829 --> 00:32:35,706
Did Daniel ever find Eboni?
735
00:32:35,706 --> 00:32:38,542
The intake nurse who gave him the tour
said she's working again tomorrow night,
736
00:32:38,542 --> 00:32:40,669
so he'll stakeout the rehab then
and see if she'll talk.
737
00:32:40,669 --> 00:32:43,088
But I think we should
still try to get Rebecca.
738
00:32:43,088 --> 00:32:45,340
No, no, no. I'd rather focus on just
739
00:32:46,049 --> 00:32:49,970
pushing Shanelle harder during the prep,
as much as she can handle.
740
00:32:56,977 --> 00:32:59,396
[Baker] Hey, Tucker, you good?
741
00:32:59,396 --> 00:33:01,857
- Pocahontas.
- [Jax] I think you're hiding something.
742
00:33:01,857 --> 00:33:04,359
- [Shanelle Tucker] [crying] I love you.
- [Baker] You got this.
743
00:33:04,359 --> 00:33:06,403
- [Jax] Did you kill JT?
- Stop, stop, stop.
744
00:33:06,403 --> 00:33:08,405
- [Jamarion "JT" Tucker] Shut the fuck up!
- Leave me alone.
745
00:33:08,405 --> 00:33:10,616
- [Baker] Get it together.
- [guard] Did you say something, Tucker?
746
00:33:10,616 --> 00:33:12,951
No, I didn't say anything.
747
00:33:13,702 --> 00:33:15,120
I'm good.
748
00:33:15,120 --> 00:33:16,872
Well, hurry, we ain't got all day.
749
00:33:16,872 --> 00:33:18,415
- Yeah, alright.
- [guard] Hm.
750
00:33:20,375 --> 00:33:22,085
[Mama Lu]
Naima, your mom's here.
751
00:33:22,085 --> 00:33:23,587
Thank you for taking care of her, Mom.
752
00:33:23,587 --> 00:33:24,922
Oh, not a problem.
753
00:33:24,922 --> 00:33:27,341
I'm just glad one of my grandchildren
still wanna hang with me.
754
00:33:27,341 --> 00:33:28,550
[chuckling]
755
00:33:28,550 --> 00:33:30,344
Well, you know
Spenser's getting older, you know,
756
00:33:30,344 --> 00:33:32,513
so we just wanna give him
some more independence.
757
00:33:32,513 --> 00:33:34,139
Let him stay home alone occasionally.
758
00:33:35,140 --> 00:33:37,226
- I trust him.
- Better you than me.
759
00:33:37,226 --> 00:33:39,269
[laughing]
760
00:33:39,269 --> 00:33:42,022
And thank you for being
nice to Naima about Paul.
761
00:33:42,022 --> 00:33:43,106
Mm.
762
00:33:43,690 --> 00:33:44,900
I like Kevin.
763
00:33:45,275 --> 00:33:48,612
- He seems normal.
- [Mama Lu] He is.
764
00:33:49,530 --> 00:33:51,949
I'm happy things are good
with you and Lewis,
765
00:33:51,949 --> 00:33:54,993
not because he's a good man,
but because you are a good woman.
766
00:33:57,329 --> 00:33:58,830
I'm proud of you, Jacqueline.
767
00:33:58,830 --> 00:34:00,290
Oh, thank you, Mom.
768
00:34:01,583 --> 00:34:03,377
- I love you.
- I love you too.
769
00:34:05,295 --> 00:34:07,297
Okay, you have a good night.
I'll call you tomorrow.
770
00:34:07,297 --> 00:34:08,799
Okay, good night.
771
00:34:12,928 --> 00:34:16,014
[Lewis] [scatting] Hey.
772
00:34:16,598 --> 00:34:18,767
[continues scatting]
773
00:34:21,812 --> 00:34:24,898
- Ahh! [sighs]
- Hey.
774
00:34:24,898 --> 00:34:28,068
I take it you and Terrence
had a good time tonight.
775
00:34:28,068 --> 00:34:30,863
Oh, niggas gonna nig, you already know.
776
00:34:30,863 --> 00:34:32,865
Ah! [laughs]
777
00:34:32,865 --> 00:34:34,449
- [sighs]
- Okay?
778
00:34:34,449 --> 00:34:37,452
Um, should I get some Pedialyte,
779
00:34:37,452 --> 00:34:39,621
and a burger from Tommy's now
or in the morning?
780
00:34:39,621 --> 00:34:41,373
Mm-mm, I don't want it.
781
00:34:41,373 --> 00:34:42,833
Well, I can get you something else to eat.
782
00:34:42,833 --> 00:34:44,668
No, I-I'm talkin' about this baby.
783
00:34:45,502 --> 00:34:47,045
[sighs]
784
00:34:47,045 --> 00:34:49,840
It was one night, I fucked up one night,
785
00:34:49,840 --> 00:34:53,343
and now I'm having a baby
with a woman I barely know.
786
00:34:54,386 --> 00:34:56,054
A baby I gotta support,
even though she threatened
787
00:34:56,054 --> 00:34:57,764
to cut me out the baby's life.
788
00:34:57,764 --> 00:34:59,933
Wait, she threatened you?
789
00:34:59,933 --> 00:35:03,312
Yeah, her way or the vroom-vroom highway.
790
00:35:04,104 --> 00:35:07,941
Fuck, and we gotta do this
'til the kid's outta college.
791
00:35:07,941 --> 00:35:10,736
Like... I'ma be 65.
792
00:35:10,736 --> 00:35:12,321
Like, men in my family... [grunts]
793
00:35:12,321 --> 00:35:14,198
men in my family barely see 70.
794
00:35:14,198 --> 00:35:15,699
Okay, wait, baby, here, drink this.
795
00:35:15,699 --> 00:35:17,826
It's too much to think about
when you're drunk.
796
00:35:23,665 --> 00:35:25,626
I wish this baby would go away.
797
00:35:28,212 --> 00:35:29,796
And I...
798
00:35:30,297 --> 00:35:33,675
I hate saying that
about my son, not our son,
799
00:35:33,675 --> 00:35:35,552
my fuckin' son.
800
00:35:36,220 --> 00:35:38,305
[sighs deeply] Fuck.
801
00:35:39,932 --> 00:35:43,018
I'm so sorry, Jax, I'm sorry.
802
00:35:43,018 --> 00:35:45,896
It's okay. It's okay.
803
00:35:46,772 --> 00:35:50,067
Will you forgive me, please?
804
00:35:51,693 --> 00:35:53,654
Like, I, I need you to forgive me, Jax.
805
00:35:53,654 --> 00:35:55,072
Do you forgive me?
806
00:35:56,114 --> 00:35:57,157
I j--
807
00:35:57,741 --> 00:35:59,535
Will you please forgive me?
808
00:36:01,954 --> 00:36:02,996
[Lewis sighs]
809
00:36:14,883 --> 00:36:16,134
[door closes]
810
00:36:27,271 --> 00:36:28,438
[Adrian Hunter] Hey, Shanelle.
811
00:36:31,400 --> 00:36:32,693
Adrian...
812
00:36:34,862 --> 00:36:38,323
you know, I thought for sure your ass
would be on the other side of this glass.
813
00:36:38,323 --> 00:36:41,869
[chuckles] Uh, yeah, yeah, I know. I...
814
00:36:43,495 --> 00:36:44,705
I cut a deal with the Feds.
815
00:36:45,622 --> 00:36:47,165
I still gotta do community service.
816
00:36:47,165 --> 00:36:48,750
I have to pay a fine,
817
00:36:48,750 --> 00:36:51,253
and I have to report to a PO
for the next five years.
818
00:36:52,671 --> 00:36:54,381
It's better than...
819
00:36:56,425 --> 00:36:57,718
I'm sorry.
820
00:36:58,427 --> 00:37:03,015
And I appreciate what you said
up on the witness stand, but...
821
00:37:05,976 --> 00:37:07,436
that don't mean I forgive you.
822
00:37:08,395 --> 00:37:10,230
- You lied to me.
- I know, I--
823
00:37:10,230 --> 00:37:14,109
And after Jamarion, you know damn well
how hard it was for me to trust anybody.
824
00:37:14,109 --> 00:37:15,194
Shanelle, I'm sorry, okay?
825
00:37:15,194 --> 00:37:16,778
The shit I did was fucked up...
826
00:37:18,113 --> 00:37:20,157
but I didn't lie about
how I felt about you.
827
00:37:21,408 --> 00:37:22,743
I love you, Shanelle.
828
00:37:24,369 --> 00:37:25,829
Listen, I...
829
00:37:28,081 --> 00:37:29,499
my career's over.
830
00:37:30,167 --> 00:37:32,503
I got cut from the team.
They said I'm too much of a distraction.
831
00:37:32,503 --> 00:37:34,171
I can't get my money.
832
00:37:34,171 --> 00:37:37,174
My assets are frozen.
I've lost everything.
833
00:37:37,674 --> 00:37:39,426
But I don't care about any of that
834
00:37:39,968 --> 00:37:42,513
because the one thing
I did not want to lose is you.
835
00:37:42,513 --> 00:37:44,848
Yeah, well,
it's a little too late for that.
836
00:37:45,891 --> 00:37:47,434
I don't believe that.
837
00:37:49,019 --> 00:37:50,062
When you get out of here,
838
00:37:50,062 --> 00:37:53,524
when you beat this case,
because you will beat this case...
839
00:37:55,025 --> 00:37:56,151
I wanna be with you.
840
00:37:57,569 --> 00:37:59,321
And not just for a day,
not just for a weekend,
841
00:37:59,321 --> 00:38:02,699
I wanna be with you... forever.
842
00:38:07,913 --> 00:38:09,957
Shanelle, will you marry me?
843
00:38:15,671 --> 00:38:16,922
[exhales]
844
00:38:16,922 --> 00:38:21,218
Okay, yeah, um, I know,
it's, it's, it's a lot to take in.
845
00:38:21,802 --> 00:38:23,262
I know it's a lot, but...
846
00:38:25,180 --> 00:38:26,598
but promise me you'll think about it.
847
00:38:40,487 --> 00:38:41,780
[winces]
848
00:38:45,701 --> 00:38:47,035
Thank you.
849
00:38:47,035 --> 00:38:48,412
Thank you, too.
850
00:38:51,915 --> 00:38:54,334
You helped me through
my mistakes with Damon.
851
00:38:55,127 --> 00:38:58,088
You loved me when
I couldn't imagine you would.
852
00:38:58,088 --> 00:38:59,631
I was humbled.
853
00:39:00,841 --> 00:39:02,259
I've never been loved like that.
854
00:39:02,259 --> 00:39:05,804
Unconditionally, when I was at my worst?
855
00:39:06,680 --> 00:39:09,600
This shit is hard, Lewis,
856
00:39:10,559 --> 00:39:11,768
but I am right here.
857
00:39:11,768 --> 00:39:14,313
I am walking this road with you...
858
00:39:15,230 --> 00:39:16,815
but it's not easy.
859
00:39:17,941 --> 00:39:21,570
And, sometimes, I wonder
if I'm making the right decision.
860
00:39:24,489 --> 00:39:27,367
But I know I'd rather do this shit
with you than without you.
861
00:39:29,119 --> 00:39:32,331
And I'm showing you that
every day with my actions.
862
00:39:32,915 --> 00:39:35,292
But you constantly
asking me to forgive you
863
00:39:35,292 --> 00:39:38,128
makes you feel better, not me.
864
00:39:43,342 --> 00:39:44,968
You're right, Jax.
865
00:39:47,888 --> 00:39:52,142
I appreciate you so much,
and I respect that.
866
00:40:00,776 --> 00:40:03,028
Now, Ms. Wargo will bring up
that TZT interview.
867
00:40:03,028 --> 00:40:07,199
Ohh. You know, if I had known
that interview might hurt your case,
868
00:40:07,199 --> 00:40:08,992
I would've never done the darn thing.
869
00:40:08,992 --> 00:40:10,994
All I wanna do is help Mrs. Tucker.
870
00:40:10,994 --> 00:40:12,246
And you will.
871
00:40:12,246 --> 00:40:15,040
Just answer the questions
as they're asked and we'll be right here.
872
00:40:15,040 --> 00:40:16,708
- Let's get on with it.
- Okay.
873
00:40:20,796 --> 00:40:22,756
I hope you're right about this.
874
00:40:22,756 --> 00:40:23,841
And what do you do, Mrs. Gray?
875
00:40:24,466 --> 00:40:27,177
I'm a clerk
at an LA County Self-Help Center.
876
00:40:27,177 --> 00:40:29,721
I help people apply
for restraining orders.
877
00:40:29,721 --> 00:40:31,390
Been doing it for 12 years now.
878
00:40:31,890 --> 00:40:34,852
Now, will you walk us through
a typical work day?
879
00:40:34,852 --> 00:40:37,813
Well, when someone comes in,
I answer their questions
880
00:40:37,813 --> 00:40:39,857
and explain how to get
a restraining order.
881
00:40:40,315 --> 00:40:41,775
Have you ever met Mrs. Tucker?
882
00:40:41,775 --> 00:40:44,194
[Rebecca Gray]
Yes, I remember her coming in.
883
00:40:44,194 --> 00:40:47,573
A lot of women come in
in hats and sunglasses.
884
00:40:47,573 --> 00:40:50,200
But I remember she had
the biggest diamond ring
885
00:40:50,200 --> 00:40:51,577
I've ever seen.
886
00:40:51,952 --> 00:40:54,580
And then I remembered I saw her on TV.
887
00:40:54,580 --> 00:40:58,125
My wife and I,
we watch those ESPY award shows.
888
00:40:58,125 --> 00:40:59,209
What else do you remember?
889
00:40:59,209 --> 00:41:01,503
She asked if restraining orders
were a public record.
890
00:41:01,503 --> 00:41:02,588
I said yes.
891
00:41:02,588 --> 00:41:04,506
Now, Mrs. Gray, do you recall
892
00:41:04,506 --> 00:41:07,509
if Mrs. Tucker ever got
the restraining order?
893
00:41:07,509 --> 00:41:09,553
No, she left without filing.
894
00:41:09,553 --> 00:41:11,305
- Thank you.
- [Rebecca] Mm-hm.
895
00:41:14,808 --> 00:41:16,643
How many people do you see a day?
896
00:41:17,227 --> 00:41:18,228
A few dozen.
897
00:41:18,228 --> 00:41:19,605
Let's say two dozen.
898
00:41:19,605 --> 00:41:21,440
How long did you interact
with the defendant?
899
00:41:21,440 --> 00:41:23,150
Maybe 10 minutes.
900
00:41:23,150 --> 00:41:26,320
So, you see two dozen people a day,
five days a week,
901
00:41:26,320 --> 00:41:27,613
50 weeks a year.
902
00:41:27,613 --> 00:41:29,865
That's 6,000 a year.
903
00:41:29,865 --> 00:41:33,160
Over 12 years, that's 72,000 people.
904
00:41:33,160 --> 00:41:36,079
And yet, you remember one woman
that you saw for 10 minutes?
905
00:41:37,206 --> 00:41:38,457
I can never forget her.
906
00:41:38,457 --> 00:41:40,959
Is that what you told TZT
when you sold your story?
907
00:41:40,959 --> 00:41:42,544
- Objection.
- Withdrawn.
908
00:41:43,337 --> 00:41:44,546
- [Corey] Mrs. Gray.
- [Rebecca] Mm-hm.
909
00:41:44,546 --> 00:41:46,048
How do you remember Mrs. Tucker?
910
00:41:47,090 --> 00:41:48,800
Because she left without filing.
911
00:41:48,800 --> 00:41:52,429
I may not have known her name,
but I remember her face
912
00:41:52,429 --> 00:41:53,972
because she left.
913
00:41:53,972 --> 00:41:56,350
Those are the ones I worry about more,
914
00:41:57,267 --> 00:41:58,685
not the ones who stay
915
00:41:58,685 --> 00:42:00,646
and work past their tears
916
00:42:00,646 --> 00:42:03,732
when they're describing the horrific acts
that brought them here.
917
00:42:03,732 --> 00:42:06,276
But it's the ones
who are afraid of someone,
918
00:42:07,152 --> 00:42:09,029
but they're afraid to admit it.
919
00:42:09,029 --> 00:42:10,822
Those are the ones
that keep me up at night.
920
00:42:11,365 --> 00:42:13,242
Those are the ones I remember.
921
00:42:13,242 --> 00:42:15,786
That's why I remember Mrs. Tucker.
922
00:42:16,787 --> 00:42:18,205
She was scared.
923
00:42:18,205 --> 00:42:24,086
She had tears,
but then she left, alone, with nothing.
924
00:42:25,671 --> 00:42:27,840
Alone with nothing.
925
00:42:28,966 --> 00:42:30,175
Thank you.
926
00:42:34,972 --> 00:42:37,349
Let me just say it again. I was right.
927
00:42:37,349 --> 00:42:38,809
Oh, so you just can't get enough, can you?
928
00:42:38,809 --> 00:42:40,185
I really can't. I really can't.
929
00:42:40,185 --> 00:42:41,395
Just one more time, please.
930
00:42:41,395 --> 00:42:43,897
Okay, you were...
931
00:42:44,356 --> 00:42:45,774
- right about Rebecca Gray.
- Oh!
932
00:42:45,774 --> 00:42:48,318
And I'm the best lawyer
you have ever worked with.
933
00:42:48,318 --> 00:42:50,612
- And... don't push it.
- [laughing]
934
00:42:52,531 --> 00:42:54,825
So, you have any big plans for tonight?
935
00:42:54,825 --> 00:42:56,368
No, no, just headed back to the office.
936
00:42:56,368 --> 00:42:57,536
- [Jax] Hm.
- You?
937
00:42:57,953 --> 00:43:00,664
Picking up the kids,
dinner with the family
938
00:43:00,664 --> 00:43:02,082
before prepping for tomorrow.
939
00:43:03,458 --> 00:43:07,671
Well, listen, I, I know I said
I was gonna keep it professional, right?
940
00:43:07,671 --> 00:43:09,548
And I, and I hope I'm not
about to cross the line,
941
00:43:09,548 --> 00:43:12,509
but Lewis is a very lucky man.
942
00:43:14,219 --> 00:43:15,429
I'll pass along the message.
943
00:43:15,429 --> 00:43:16,972
Oh, please don't.
944
00:43:17,681 --> 00:43:18,891
Good night.
945
00:43:20,225 --> 00:43:21,351
Good night.
946
00:43:27,858 --> 00:43:29,193
[door closes]
947
00:43:33,197 --> 00:43:35,032
- Hey.
- Hey.
948
00:43:38,952 --> 00:43:40,162
It's really good to see you.
949
00:43:40,162 --> 00:43:41,997
I'm sorry it's taken a while.
950
00:43:42,998 --> 00:43:45,584
I can't imagine what it feels like
to spend your days in here.
951
00:43:47,711 --> 00:43:51,215
Yeah, well, I can't explain it myself, so.
952
00:43:53,759 --> 00:43:57,262
I just wanna apologize to you
because, for whatever reason,
953
00:43:57,262 --> 00:43:59,640
you didn't feel comfortable
telling me about the abuse,
954
00:43:59,640 --> 00:44:01,099
which is my fault.
955
00:44:01,099 --> 00:44:02,392
What? No.
956
00:44:03,477 --> 00:44:06,230
Autumn, it's really not.
957
00:44:08,482 --> 00:44:10,442
Jamarion fucked me up, girl.
958
00:44:11,902 --> 00:44:15,239
He made me feel small
even around you guys.
959
00:44:15,239 --> 00:44:17,407
He reminded me I was just a housewife.
960
00:44:17,407 --> 00:44:20,035
You know, he convinced me that y'all
thought y'all were better than me.
961
00:44:20,035 --> 00:44:21,161
Wow!
962
00:44:22,162 --> 00:44:24,456
Girl, that's fucked up,
and not true at all.
963
00:44:24,456 --> 00:44:25,749
I know that now.
964
00:44:25,749 --> 00:44:29,086
And the only reason I'm a therapist
is because I'm a head case myself.
965
00:44:29,086 --> 00:44:30,629
We all know Sally's a mess,
966
00:44:30,629 --> 00:44:33,382
and didn't Jax get kidnapped
by her side piece?
967
00:44:33,966 --> 00:44:35,467
[Autumn laughing]
968
00:44:40,264 --> 00:44:45,352
Shanelle, honey, you are worthy of love
just the way you are.
969
00:44:46,103 --> 00:44:49,147
No matter what's going on
with you or any of us,
970
00:44:50,023 --> 00:44:52,150
if you get anything out of all of this,
971
00:44:52,150 --> 00:44:54,653
I hope you remember that.
972
00:44:56,113 --> 00:44:57,406
- Okay?
- [sniffles]
973
00:44:59,533 --> 00:45:00,534
Thank you.
974
00:45:00,534 --> 00:45:02,077
[Autumn Owens] You're welcome, baby.
975
00:45:03,495 --> 00:45:04,663
I love you, girl.
976
00:45:05,455 --> 00:45:06,540
[Shanelle] Thank you.
977
00:45:07,082 --> 00:45:09,084
We're gonna get you out of here.
978
00:45:13,505 --> 00:45:14,715
[exhales]
979
00:45:17,134 --> 00:45:19,136
I heard you threatened
to take Lewis's baby away.
980
00:45:19,136 --> 00:45:21,138
Well, it's not just his baby.
981
00:45:21,138 --> 00:45:24,516
Exactly, this baby has two parents,
you and Lewis,
982
00:45:24,516 --> 00:45:26,143
which means he has rights.
983
00:45:26,143 --> 00:45:28,562
So, we're involved
whether you like it or not.
984
00:45:28,562 --> 00:45:30,731
Now, the easy way to do this
is where we compromise
985
00:45:30,731 --> 00:45:31,899
and we all work together.
986
00:45:31,899 --> 00:45:34,318
The hard way is where you
hire an expensive lawyer
987
00:45:34,318 --> 00:45:35,611
and we all end up in court.
988
00:45:35,611 --> 00:45:37,446
Do you really wanna
face me in court again?
989
00:45:37,446 --> 00:45:38,655
Are you threatening me?
990
00:45:38,655 --> 00:45:40,574
No, I'm reminding you who I am.
991
00:45:41,033 --> 00:45:43,202
And if you think I fight hard
for my friends, bitch,
992
00:45:43,202 --> 00:45:45,329
wait until you see
what I do for my family.

Who do you think you're talking to?

- Hey.
- Hey, baby.
995
00:45:49,791 --> 00:45:51,126
- How was school?
- How was school?
996
00:45:51,126 --> 00:45:52,294
Good.
997
00:45:53,295 --> 00:45:54,671

Uh, I've been trying
to get in touch with you.
1009

- I don't talk to reporters.
