179
00:08:07,069 --> 00:08:09,739
please get an ambulance ready
to take her somewhere

180
00:08:09,822 --> 00:08:12,492
where she can be escorted
through a private entrance.

181
00:08:12,575 --> 00:08:13,993
There's already one news van here.

182
00:08:14,076 --> 00:08:15,870
Every five minutes,
that number will double.

183
00:08:15,953 --> 00:08:18,080
Mm-mm, no,
I can't go to the hospital, Jax.

184
00:08:18,164 --> 00:08:19,349
Everyone will know what he did.

185
00:08:19,373 --> 00:08:21,209
No, no. I...
Look, I understand, alright?

186
00:08:21,292 --> 00:08:24,670
But we need to get you treated and we need
to have a doctor document your injuries.

187
00:08:25,213 --> 00:08:27,673
Look, I don't wanna scare you,
but everything that happens

188
00:08:27,757 --> 00:08:30,885
from this moment on
is important, Shanelle.

189
00:08:30,968 --> 00:08:33,638
Okay. Natasha is at her dorm.

190
00:08:33,721 --> 00:08:34,889
[Jax]
Yes.

191
00:08:34,972 --> 00:08:36,575
- Jordan is still at school.
- [Jax] Don't worry.

192
00:08:36,599 --> 00:08:37,993
- What am I gonna tell her?
- [Jax] I'll figure it out.

193
00:08:38,017 --> 00:08:40,853
I promise, I promise, okay?
Don't worry about it.

194
00:08:40,937 --> 00:08:43,731
- Just take care of my baby.
- [Jax] I will fix it. I will fix it. Go.

195
00:08:44,857 --> 00:08:46,692
Oh, fuck.

196
00:08:48,277 --> 00:08:49,737
[Lewis] [on phone]
Wait. What?

197
00:08:52,740 --> 00:08:53,741
H...

198
00:08:55,326 --> 00:08:56,327
Uh...

199
00:08:57,078 --> 00:08:58,788
[sighs]
What?

200
00:08:58,871 --> 00:09:00,498
Look, I know he was your friend,

201
00:09:00,581 --> 00:09:03,251
but he and Shanelle
got into a fight and...

202
00:09:03,334 --> 00:09:05,419
A fight?
A physical fight?

203
00:09:05,503 --> 00:09:08,047
Yes! Yes, he tried to kill her.

204
00:09:08,130 --> 00:09:09,924
Baby, I am so sorry.

205
00:09:10,007 --> 00:09:11,217
Is she okay?

206
00:09:11,300 --> 00:09:13,886
Yeah. Yeah, but...
[deep breath]

207
00:09:13,970 --> 00:09:15,388
Can you meet me at the hospital?

208
00:09:15,471 --> 00:09:17,932
Yeah, I mean, I-I-I can.
Um, I...

209
00:09:18,015 --> 00:09:19,559
Someone's gotta pick up the kids.

210
00:09:19,642 --> 00:09:20,893
Oh.

211
00:09:21,811 --> 00:09:23,479
Right, right.
I'm not thinking.

212
00:09:23,563 --> 00:09:26,123
[Lewis] No, no, no. No, it's-it's okay.
I'll pick up the kids and

213
00:09:26,190 --> 00:09:27,483
don't you worry.

214
00:09:27,567 --> 00:09:29,193
Did you take your medication?

215
00:09:29,277 --> 00:09:31,904
No, I haven't had a chance
to fill the prescription.

216
00:09:31,988 --> 00:09:35,283
Um, you know,
I should, I should, I should go.

217
00:09:35,366 --> 00:09:36,784
W... Uh, Jax...

218
00:09:40,371 --> 00:09:41,789
I love you.

219
00:09:41,872 --> 00:09:43,249
[♪ gentle music playing]

220
00:09:43,332 --> 00:09:44,542
I love you too.

221
00:09:45,001 --> 00:09:46,210
We did some X-rays,

222
00:09:46,294 --> 00:09:49,130
but based on my preliminary examination,

223
00:09:49,213 --> 00:09:51,340
uh, Mrs. Tucker has a sprained wrist,

224
00:09:51,424 --> 00:09:54,885
some lacerations to her throat,
and trauma to her esophagus.

225
00:09:54,969 --> 00:09:58,055
She also has a bruised rib
that she said happened about a week ago.

226
00:09:59,390 --> 00:10:01,976
We're gonna wrap your ribs
and give you a prescription to take,

227
00:10:02,059 --> 00:10:05,021
but you should be discharged
in the next few hours.

228
00:10:05,104 --> 00:10:06,606
Try to get some rest if you can.

229
00:10:06,689 --> 00:10:07,732
[Shanelle]
'Kay.

230
00:10:10,401 --> 00:10:12,653
[Dr. Grace Chen]
I'll send that report over ASAP.

231
00:10:12,737 --> 00:10:14,155
Thank you, Dr. Chen.

232
00:10:15,239 --> 00:10:17,825
Mrs. Tucker, I'm Detective Jose Martinez.

233
00:10:17,908 --> 00:10:20,703
I'm sorry to be meeting you
under these circumstances.

234
00:10:20,786 --> 00:10:22,121
[clears throat]

235
00:10:22,204 --> 00:10:25,541
My partner and I would like to ask you
a few questions, if we may.

236
00:10:25,625 --> 00:10:27,376
[♪ tense music playing]

237
00:10:28,294 --> 00:10:31,380
[Jax breathing heavily]

238
00:10:35,259 --> 00:10:37,720
- [Sally] Jax, Jax. Jax.
- [Autumn] Oh, my God.

239
00:10:37,803 --> 00:10:40,056
- [Jax crying]
- [softly] Oh, my God.

240
00:10:42,350 --> 00:10:43,976
Where is she? Where is she?

241
00:10:44,060 --> 00:10:47,563
She's okay, she's in-in-in,
um, B-217 with the doctor.

242
00:10:47,647 --> 00:10:48,898
[inhales and exhales]

243
00:10:48,981 --> 00:10:51,817
The entire hospital
is surrounded by press.

244
00:10:51,901 --> 00:10:55,404
Jordan and Natasha are at home with Chris.
They're both a mess.

245
00:10:55,488 --> 00:10:58,991
And, [whispers] online,
they're saying that Shanelle killed him.

246
00:10:59,075 --> 00:11:00,555
[normal]
But, I mean, that can't be...

247
00:11:01,619 --> 00:11:04,288
I mean, I knew things
weren't good, but...

248
00:11:05,414 --> 00:11:06,540
How bad was it?

249
00:11:06,624 --> 00:11:09,377
I don't know,
but if-if he's choked her,

250
00:11:09,919 --> 00:11:11,980
then this couldn't have
been the first time that he...

251
00:11:12,004 --> 00:11:13,631
Not even close.

252
00:11:14,674 --> 00:11:16,467
And now she has to deal with all of this?

253
00:11:16,550 --> 00:11:17,968
I mean, it's everywhere.

254
00:11:21,806 --> 00:11:23,683
This is gonna be a shitshow.

255
00:11:23,766 --> 00:11:24,809
Yeah.

256
00:11:26,769 --> 00:11:28,521
[muffled]
Is there anything we can do?

257
00:11:31,232 --> 00:11:32,775
I need to go home.

258
00:11:33,693 --> 00:11:35,611
I need to go home.
Um...

259
00:11:36,445 --> 00:11:38,823
Um, I-I got a, a-a driver

260
00:11:38,906 --> 00:11:41,075
to escort her to Sally's house
in a private exit

261
00:11:41,158 --> 00:11:42,785
after she's discharged. Okay?

262
00:11:42,868 --> 00:11:44,870
After that, I don't know.

263
00:11:44,954 --> 00:11:47,123
Just, just pray, I guess.

264
00:11:47,206 --> 00:11:49,834
Wait. Have you been cleared for work?

265
00:11:51,127 --> 00:11:54,171
Oh, uh, um, yeah.

266
00:11:54,797 --> 00:11:55,798
Yeah, I have.

267
00:11:55,881 --> 00:11:57,508
[sighs]
Good.

268
00:11:57,591 --> 00:11:59,719
'Cause Shanelle's gonna need
all the help she can get.

269
00:12:00,720 --> 00:12:02,555
Yeah, we'll figure it all out.

270
00:12:02,638 --> 00:12:03,639
Thank you.

271
00:12:03,723 --> 00:12:05,766
Hopefully, this will all be over soon.

272
00:12:09,186 --> 00:12:10,855
- How's Shanelle?
- [Sally] I don't know.

273
00:12:10,938 --> 00:12:12,273
They won't let me talk to her.

274
00:12:12,898 --> 00:12:14,024
Who's they?

275
00:12:14,108 --> 00:12:16,152
How long would you say
it took you to call 911

276
00:12:16,235 --> 00:12:17,820
once the victim was incapacitated?

277
00:12:18,988 --> 00:12:21,282
I don't know.
It was r-right after...

278
00:12:21,365 --> 00:12:22,825
[Jax]
Hi, officers.

279
00:12:23,701 --> 00:12:24,702
Can I help you?

280
00:12:24,785 --> 00:12:27,222
We're just asking Mrs. Tucker
some questions about the victim.

281
00:12:27,246 --> 00:12:28,247
[Jax]
I see.

282
00:12:28,330 --> 00:12:29,850
And did you provide
a Miranda warning before...

283
00:12:29,874 --> 00:12:30,934
[Detective Jose Martinez]
We did.

284
00:12:30,958 --> 00:12:33,252
Oh, I'm sorry.
Are you a relative?

285
00:12:33,335 --> 00:12:35,504
Her name is Jax Stewart.
She's a friend.

286
00:12:36,255 --> 00:12:37,381
She's also my lawyer.

287
00:12:37,465 --> 00:12:39,568
[Detective Martinez]
Well, Ms. Stewart, it's very important

288
00:12:39,592 --> 00:12:41,445
that we get this information
regarding the victim.

289
00:12:41,469 --> 00:12:44,430
Uh, yes, but-but, first of all,

290
00:12:44,513 --> 00:12:48,058
Mrs. Tucker has been through a lot today,
so she should rest.

291
00:12:48,142 --> 00:12:51,270
And second of all, did you ask
if she wanted to have a lawyer present?

292
00:12:51,353 --> 00:12:52,855
I'm guessing no.

293
00:12:52,938 --> 00:12:56,066
And finally, you keep referring
to Mr. Tucker as the victim

294
00:12:56,150 --> 00:12:57,610
when the real victim is lying

295
00:12:57,693 --> 00:12:59,862
right here with multiple injuries

296
00:12:59,945 --> 00:13:02,072
from a man whose wrath she endured

297
00:13:02,156 --> 00:13:04,325
not just today, but for many years.

298
00:13:04,950 --> 00:13:06,494
So, make sure you write that down.

299
00:13:07,787 --> 00:13:09,622
Okay, then, detectives.

300
00:13:09,705 --> 00:13:11,290
I think you've gotten what you need.

301
00:13:11,373 --> 00:13:12,708
For tonight.

302
00:13:16,712 --> 00:13:18,214
Get well soon, Mrs. Tucker.

303
00:13:19,548 --> 00:13:21,217

305
00:13:22,968 --> 00:13:25,054
I'm so sorry.
What did you say to them?

[Shanelle sobbing]

307
00:13:27,139 --> 00:13:29,225
Not much.
Just that...

308
00:13:30,100 --> 00:13:31,101
I told 'em...

309
00:13:33,395 --> 00:13:35,022
that JT was choking me

310
00:13:35,105 --> 00:13:37,608
and I hit him to make him stop.

311
00:13:37,691 --> 00:13:38,692
[Jax]
Okay, listen to me.

312
00:13:38,776 --> 00:13:41,737
We are going to get you
out of this soon, okay?

313
00:13:41,821 --> 00:13:43,864
- [Shanelle] Okay.
- But in the meantime,

314
00:13:43,948 --> 00:13:47,243
if they come back,
do not talk to anyone else alone.

315
00:13:47,326 --> 00:13:48,786
Okay. Okay.

316
00:13:52,039 --> 00:13:55,668
Thank you for being here and helping me.

317
00:13:55,751 --> 00:13:58,504
I don't think I could do this without you.

322
00:14:31,912 --> 00:14:32,913
Sit.

323
00:14:36,542 --> 00:14:37,751
Remember what Dr. Lennon said.

324
00:14:37,835 --> 00:14:39,879
- Breathe, breathe, breathe.
- [Jax] I can't...

[wheezing]
I...

326
00:14:41,630 --> 00:14:43,215
Remember, remember
what Dr. Lennon said.

327

- Remember what Dr. Lennon said.
- I, I ca...

I can't... I...

338
00:15:34,183 --> 00:15:35,452
Can reheat some food for you.
I can...

339
00:15:35,476 --> 00:15:37,811
Mm-mm.
No, I, I gotta,

340
00:15:37,895 --> 00:15:41,649
I gotta write down some things
to do tomorrow for Shanelle.

341

[Lewis]
But can't Sally or Autumn help?

342
00:15:44,777 --> 00:15:46,320
They're not lawyers.

343
00:15:48,781 --> 00:15:49,990
You're Shanelle's lawyer?

344
00:15:50,074 --> 00:15:51,367
Yeah.

345
00:15:52,034 --> 00:15:53,410
Who else would it be?

346
00:15:54,703 --> 00:15:58,457
I don't know. Uh, anyone else
in the state of California?

347

348
00:16:02,252 --> 00:16:05,005

the investigation and then it's over.

- Okay.

you can just ask me, okay?

Well, did she?

524
00:23:41,586 --> 00:23:43,255
[Lewis] [sighs]
She did.

525
00:23:44,548 --> 00:23:46,967
But it's a lot more
complicated than it seems.

526
00:23:48,343 --> 00:23:50,971
So, does that mean
Mom's gonna be her lawyer?

You don't want her to start working again?

530
00:23:57,018 --> 00:23:59,104
No, I need her to go back to work.

531
00:24:00,397 --> 00:24:03,608
It's just that she's all up
in me and Spenser's business.

00:24:03,692 --> 00:24:06,820
Dad, she basically rewrote
my paper the other night.

However, based on what I know so far,

564
00:25:30,779 --> 00:25:32,239
it looks pretty straightforward,

00:30:50,431 --> 00:30:51,641
I ca...
[sighs]

694
00:30:51,724 --> 00:30:56,646
And with all of these inconsistencies
that are more than likely raising flags...

695
00:30:59,065 --> 00:31:01,860
we need to talk about
what you wanna do in the event

696
00:31:01,943 --> 00:31:03,987
that this becomes more than self-defense.

697
00:31:04,070 --> 00:31:05,446
[Shanelle]
Wait.

698
00:31:05,530 --> 00:31:07,407
Wait, wait, wait, wait.
Wh-What?

699
00:31:07,490 --> 00:31:10,827
No, they can't put me in jail
for saving my own life.

700
00:31:10,910 --> 00:31:12,871
Actually, a lot of women
are wrongfully in prison

701
00:31:12,954 --> 00:31:14,455
for killing their abusers.

702
00:31:14,539 --> 00:31:16,958
W-W-What about a plea deal or something?

703
00:31:17,041 --> 00:31:19,669
If that's what you wanna do,
I can talk to the DA's office

704
00:31:19,752 --> 00:31:21,588
and see what your options are.

705
00:31:21,671 --> 00:31:24,883
I would wanna avoid
as much jail time as possible.

706
00:31:25,717 --> 00:31:29,095
Yeah, I cannot put Jordan and Natasha

707
00:31:29,178 --> 00:31:31,598
through a trial, months of scrutiny.

708
00:31:33,641 --> 00:31:36,269
Fuck, if the deal isn't crazy,
I'll take it.

709
00:31:37,645 --> 00:31:38,965
I just want this shit to be over.

710
00:31:39,022 --> 00:31:43,985
[♪ tense music playing]

711
00:31:49,908 --> 00:31:52,285
[gasps sharply]

712
00:31:54,495 --> 00:31:55,830
[panting]

713
00:32:15,183 --> 00:32:16,684
[both sigh]

714
00:32:17,727 --> 00:32:18,853
[door opens]

715
00:32:18,937 --> 00:32:21,314
Oh, hi.
I am so sorry.

716
00:32:21,397 --> 00:32:24,192
I got behind at the office and...

717
00:32:25,443 --> 00:32:26,778
It's okay.

718
00:32:26,861 --> 00:32:30,365
Luckily, I don't have
a couple after you, so...

719
00:32:31,282 --> 00:32:33,785
we can, uh, stay a few minutes over.

720
00:32:35,453 --> 00:32:36,496
Thank you, Dr. Webb.

721
00:32:36,579 --> 00:32:39,165
Oh, um, I can't stay later.

722
00:32:39,248 --> 00:32:41,417
I have a, a meeting with the DA's office.

723
00:32:41,501 --> 00:32:45,088
So, actually, I have to leave early.

724
00:32:47,548 --> 00:32:50,718
So, uh, it says in your forms
that you separated last year.

725
00:32:50,802 --> 00:32:51,862
- [Jax] Mm-hm.
- What, what happened?

726
00:32:51,886 --> 00:32:54,806
Oh, he gave me an ultimatum
between him and my career.

727
00:32:54,889 --> 00:32:57,100
Mm. That's reductive.

728
00:32:58,142 --> 00:33:00,103
[Dr. Vernon Webb]
Is that not true?

729
00:33:00,186 --> 00:33:01,270
Not entirely.

730
00:33:01,354 --> 00:33:02,814
So, somewhat true?

731
00:33:03,690 --> 00:33:07,318
I felt that, uh, Jax was prioritizing work
in a way that wasn't necessary.

732
00:33:07,402 --> 00:33:09,862
She was billing more hours
than was required of her,

733
00:33:09,946 --> 00:33:13,116
uh, taking on high-profile cases
that were putting her life in danger,

734
00:33:13,199 --> 00:33:15,743
and, honestly, not even
taking half of that energy

735
00:33:15,827 --> 00:33:17,036
to put into our relationship.

736
00:33:17,120 --> 00:33:18,454
So, you asked her to choose?

737
00:33:19,038 --> 00:33:21,958
No, I asked her to consider
a better work-life balance.

738
00:33:22,041 --> 00:33:23,584
And when she didn't, in an argument,

739
00:33:23,668 --> 00:33:26,045
I asked if she wanted
to be a lawyer or a wife.

740
00:33:26,671 --> 00:33:28,311
[Dr. Webb]
What did you expect her to say?

741
00:33:28,381 --> 00:33:30,299
- A wife.
- [Dr. Webb] Hmm.

742
00:33:30,383 --> 00:33:32,385
No, I expected her to say both.

743
00:33:32,468 --> 00:33:35,471
Oh, so, now you're rewriting history.

744
00:33:35,555 --> 00:33:37,348
- No, you just weren't listening.
- Oh.

745
00:33:37,432 --> 00:33:38,975
She hears what she wants to hear.

746
00:33:39,058 --> 00:33:40,101
Doesn't everyone?

747
00:33:40,893 --> 00:33:42,103
Most people do indeed.

748
00:33:42,186 --> 00:33:44,188
See? He agrees with me.

749
00:33:44,272 --> 00:33:46,315
Well, uh, Dr. Webb,
would you also agree

750
00:33:46,399 --> 00:33:47,775
that it's not crazy for a husband

751
00:33:47,859 --> 00:33:49,235
to ask for time with his wife?

752
00:33:49,318 --> 00:33:52,071
- No. No, I don't think that's crazy.
- See?

753
00:33:52,155 --> 00:33:55,575
Well, it's crazy
when one person's job is dependent

754
00:33:55,658 --> 00:33:57,326
on the lifestyle that we have.

755
00:33:57,410 --> 00:34:00,621
No, don't-don't paint me
like I was some broke n... guy

756
00:34:00,705 --> 00:34:02,290
that mooches off his wife.

757
00:34:02,373 --> 00:34:03,416
I didn't say that.

758
00:34:03,499 --> 00:34:05,001
No, because I have a six-figure job.

759
00:34:05,084 --> 00:34:06,377
I pick up slack with the kids.

760
00:34:06,461 --> 00:34:08,897
And, like, even the other day
when she called me, I went and...

761
00:34:08,921 --> 00:34:10,631
Wait, when I was at the hospital?

762
00:34:10,715 --> 00:34:12,216
When I asked you to come be with me?

763
00:34:12,300 --> 00:34:14,927
Who is going to take care
of the kids, Jax?

764
00:34:15,344 --> 00:34:16,664
You didn't even think about that.

765
00:34:16,721 --> 00:34:18,389
We could've figured that out.

766
00:34:19,057 --> 00:34:21,059
I needed you.

767
00:34:22,351 --> 00:34:25,063
I guess I'm not the only one
who hears what they wanna hear.

768
00:34:26,314 --> 00:34:29,067
You know, it seems to me like
there's some sort of a-a point system

769
00:34:29,150 --> 00:34:30,318
in your relationship.

770
00:34:30,401 --> 00:34:32,070
But also who's hurting whom more?

771
00:34:32,153 --> 00:34:33,237
A-A hurt score.

772
00:34:33,321 --> 00:34:34,822
You hurt me, I hurt you.

773
00:34:35,406 --> 00:34:37,825
Then you hurt me more,
and I hurt you more.

774
00:34:38,409 --> 00:34:40,912
It's the kind of cycle
that can lead to a separation.

775
00:34:42,497 --> 00:34:44,332
Does that feel like
an accurate description

776
00:34:44,415 --> 00:34:45,416
of your relationship?

777
00:34:52,423 --> 00:34:54,550
- Who usually hurts whom first?
- [Lewis] She does.

778
00:34:54,634 --> 00:34:55,802
Wow.

779
00:34:57,553 --> 00:34:59,097
Well, that is not true.

780
00:34:59,931 --> 00:35:04,560
That ultimatum was
very hurtful and unfair.

781
00:35:05,144 --> 00:35:06,896
Um, you wanna know what's unfair

782
00:35:06,979 --> 00:35:08,981
is I've been by your side
the last two months

783
00:35:09,065 --> 00:35:10,625
and I thought we were repairing things,

784
00:35:10,691 --> 00:35:12,110
but you're already back at work,

785
00:35:12,193 --> 00:35:15,655
and it is 'bout to be
the same old bullshit it was before.

786
00:35:15,738 --> 00:35:17,657
So, first of all, I am not back to work.

787
00:35:17,740 --> 00:35:20,284
I'm helping a friend.
It is temporary.

788
00:35:20,368 --> 00:35:21,845
- And the panic attacks?
- Okay, wait a minute. Wait a minute.

789
00:35:21,869 --> 00:35:23,246
Is that why you came here?

790
00:35:23,329 --> 00:35:26,499
So, you could tattletale on me
and get someone to cosign on your theory

791
00:35:26,582 --> 00:35:29,210
that I'm the problem
and you're perfect, right?

792
00:35:29,293 --> 00:35:32,588
Just because you had a perfect little life
with your perfect family.

793
00:35:32,672 --> 00:35:34,817
- And you're just perfect and everything...
- Listen, you know damn, you know d...

794
00:35:34,841 --> 00:35:36,801
You know damn well
I didn't have a perfect family.

795
00:35:36,843 --> 00:35:39,595
But you know what? Of course,
there's only room in this relationship

796
00:35:39,679 --> 00:35:42,431
for one person's trauma
and it has to be yours.

797
00:35:42,515 --> 00:35:44,952
- Okay, you are so dramatic.
- No. I, uh... What? Am I really?

798
00:35:44,976 --> 00:35:46,811
- Can I interject?
- Please.

799
00:35:47,520 --> 00:35:50,022
Are you two looking
to reconcile or uncouple?

800
00:35:56,821 --> 00:35:58,531
- Reconcile.
- Reconcile.

801
00:35:59,115 --> 00:36:00,908
Okay, that's a good start.

802
00:36:00,992 --> 00:36:04,745
I'm not here to act
as a cosigner or a points collector.

803
00:36:04,829 --> 00:36:07,665
I'm here to help you communicate
better through respect,

804
00:36:07,748 --> 00:36:10,585
empathy, generosity, and ultimately trust.

805
00:36:11,335 --> 00:36:12,563
So, it's good that you still argue.

806
00:36:12,587 --> 00:36:14,227
- Why is that good?
- I don't wanna argue.

807
00:36:14,297 --> 00:36:18,092
Because it means you're still willing
to fight for your relationship,

808
00:36:18,176 --> 00:36:20,428
that there's still a passion for it,
for each other.

809
00:36:21,012 --> 00:36:22,096
So, it's okay to argue.

810
00:36:22,180 --> 00:36:24,098
We're gonna work on arguing better

811
00:36:24,182 --> 00:36:26,017
without hurting each other.

812
00:36:26,100 --> 00:36:28,144
Because if you want
this relationship to work,

813
00:36:28,227 --> 00:36:30,038
you need to know how to be good
when things are good

814
00:36:30,062 --> 00:36:32,356
and how to be good when things are bad.

815
00:36:33,858 --> 00:36:35,658
And you're both gonna
have to put in the work.

816
00:36:35,735 --> 00:36:37,612
It's not gonna be easy or fun.

817
00:36:38,696 --> 00:36:39,906
So, buckle up.

818
00:36:39,989 --> 00:36:41,199
[Lewis sighs]

819
00:36:46,579 --> 00:36:47,705
[Jax]
Well, that was a lot.

820
00:36:48,414 --> 00:36:50,333
Do you think we should keep it going?

821
00:36:51,500 --> 00:36:52,752
Bye, Jax.

822
00:36:53,544 --> 00:36:55,588
- [scoffs] Damn.
- [phone ringing]

823
00:36:55,671 --> 00:36:57,173
Bye, I guess.

824
00:37:01,344 --> 00:37:02,345
Hey, Mom.

825
00:37:02,428 --> 00:37:04,148
[Mama Lu]
Jacqueline, I just saw in the news

826
00:37:04,180 --> 00:37:05,848
about Shanelle's husband.

827
00:37:05,932 --> 00:37:08,601
Oh, so horrible.
Is she okay?

828
00:37:08,684 --> 00:37:11,562
Yeah, Mom.
She's okay, considering.

829
00:37:11,646 --> 00:37:13,606
Oh, gosh, I feel for her.

830
00:37:13,689 --> 00:37:15,524
I know how hard it is to lose a husband.

831
00:37:15,608 --> 00:37:18,110
I'm still struggling with Paul being gone.

832
00:37:19,487 --> 00:37:21,614
- Did she really kill him?
- [Jax] Mom, you know what?

833
00:37:21,697 --> 00:37:24,051
I really can't talk
about the details right now, so I need...

834
00:37:24,075 --> 00:37:25,475
[Mama Lu]
Someone posted on Facebook

835
00:37:25,534 --> 00:37:26,869
that he was beating her ass.

836
00:37:26,953 --> 00:37:28,788
Can you imagine?

837
00:37:28,871 --> 00:37:30,665
Oh, he always seemed so nice.

838
00:37:30,748 --> 00:37:32,917
Yeah, well, looks can be deceiving.

839
00:37:33,000 --> 00:37:37,463
Speaking of, I've been getting some,
what do they call it, direct messages, uh,

840
00:37:37,546 --> 00:37:39,173
DMs on Facebook.

841
00:37:39,257 --> 00:37:40,466
What kinda DMs?

842
00:37:40,549 --> 00:37:43,010
[Mama Lu] From some young thangs
that wanna take me out...

843
00:37:44,679 --> 00:37:45,888
'cause I still got it.

844
00:37:45,972 --> 00:37:49,183
'Kay, Mom, you know, it is fascinating
that you can't believe

845
00:37:49,267 --> 00:37:51,936
that Shanelle's
football-playing husband was abusive,

846
00:37:52,019 --> 00:37:53,020
but yet you think that...

847
00:37:53,104 --> 00:37:54,772
- You think they lying?
- [Jax] Okay, Mom.

848
00:37:54,855 --> 00:37:56,399
Lewis and I are just leaving therapy,

849
00:37:56,482 --> 00:37:58,402
and I need to head back
to the office, so just...

850
00:37:58,442 --> 00:37:59,527
[Mama Lu]
You and Lewis?

851
00:37:59,610 --> 00:38:01,463
I thought only you were
going because of your job.

852
00:38:01,487 --> 00:38:03,072
I'm doing both.

853
00:38:03,155 --> 00:38:05,157
[Mama Lu]
That seems a bit excessive.

854
00:38:05,241 --> 00:38:06,575
Well, are you feeling any better?

855
00:38:06,659 --> 00:38:08,369
At this moment? No.

856
00:38:08,911 --> 00:38:10,430
[Mama Lu] [scoffs]
That's why I don't go to therapy.

857
00:38:10,454 --> 00:38:12,790
I mean, I went once, left feeling worse.

858
00:38:12,873 --> 00:38:15,209
So, I said, no, thank you.

859
00:38:15,293 --> 00:38:18,879
No, all I need is my Bible, my wine,

860
00:38:18,963 --> 00:38:21,299
and I'm good. Am I right?

861
00:38:21,924 --> 00:38:23,509
Mom, I gotta go, 'kay?

I know it wasn't easy to say no,

1038
00:47:37,563 --> 00:47:40,440
especially when I know you feel like
you need to be there for her.

1039
00:47:40,524 --> 00:47:41,525
[Jax]
Yeah.

1040
00:47:43,277 --> 00:47:45,904
But I'm starting to wonder
if everything I think I need

1041
00:47:45,988 --> 00:47:47,906
is trying to kill me.

1042
00:47:56,915 --> 00:47:58,000
Then don't let it.

1043
00:48:05,632 --> 00:48:08,719
So, are you thinking of letting

1044
00:48:08,802 --> 00:48:10,762
one of the partners handle the case?

1045
00:48:10,846 --> 00:48:12,764
I mean, I know Rich is gone, so...

1046
00:48:12,848 --> 00:48:14,141
Yeah.

1047
00:48:14,725 --> 00:48:16,310
It's, it's gonna be tricky, you know,

1048
00:48:16,393 --> 00:48:19,813
because Shanelle needs someone

1049
00:48:19,897 --> 00:48:23,150
who is going to fight for her
both in and out of court.

1050
00:48:23,734 --> 00:48:26,069
She needs someone who understands the law,

1051
00:48:26,153 --> 00:48:28,530
someone who is a supporter of women.

1052
00:48:29,406 --> 00:48:32,659
And sadly, I can't think of anyone
at the firm who fits that bill.

1053
00:48:33,827 --> 00:48:35,495
You got anyone else in mind?
