Previously on The Rainmaker.

John would have been a great lawyer.

So will you. When do you take the bar?

Six weeks.

What's your name?

Kelly.

Donny Ray's doctor is a recovering alcoholic. His nurse is a homicidal

You had Jackie LaMagic's address.

There's a genuine dispute as to how Donny Ray died. No deal. You were really

great today. She has a relationship with the Baylor kid. Out of respect for your

father, I'm going to do you a favor.

You say you love him a lot more than that.

I'm here for the action.

I'm here for the whole pie, not a fraction.

Yeah, the road's rough, but I'm moving with traction.

Ain't nobody surpassing, moving fast. Can't nobody combat him or try to combat

him. Get deep up in this water.

You better tread lightly.

I can't be beat, I go to heart.

Go to heart.

I'm showing up and I'ma show out.

Hey, Pop.

Look like shit.

Sleeping okay?

Well, I got one against Leo Drummond.

How's your case?

It's a fit.

So settle. What's the problem?

When Leo was working me, he made it a point to mention you.

Me? Why me?

Clearly he thought it meant more than the money he was offering.

Why is that?

Listen, Bruiser, you need to settle a case, whatever Leo's offering.

I need to know everything you did for him.

In 22 years, I did plenty.

I'm not settling.

That's a mistake.

You already ate this case for him.

What's he got on you?

No more riddles.

Jocelyn, I'm free in a month. Don't go making trouble.

Well, if you won't talk to me, maybe Prince will.

You don't talk to Prince about this. Understand?

I don't work for you anymore, Pop.

Guard. Just remember, everything I ever did was to protect you.

From what?

Are you serious?

Not bad, Plankmore.

Your parents got you this?

Well, the firm did.

But, um... The neighbor bought you a house.

First year associate.

I mean, it's just a rental, but, um... But I named him Moses.

Come here. I'm gonna show you the bedroom.

The bedroom?

That one's my parlor.

With the spider to the floor.

You like it?

You can leave it to the fresh air if you want.

I only have the wine.

Just kidding.

Wait,

I have a surprise.

What's this?

Open it.

Sarah.

Open it.

So it should fit like a glove, but I figured you could wear it to your first

deposition. You know, announce your presence with authority.

As they say, you know, dress for the job you want, not for the job you have.

Right?

Right.

You hate it.

No.

No, I love it. I mean, it's just... It's nice.

You can't afford clothing like that.

Yeah, I know, I know, but I can.

Let me do something nice for you.

You don't have to dress like them, Rudy.

Like them? Look, this is all just temporary. You're going to work your way

To what? To Tinley Brin?

I doubt it. No, to a big firm doing what you were meant to do.

Now? Yeah, please.

Right on. Fashion show. I'll grab the mimosa.

Hi, I'm Daniel, and I'm an alcoholic.

I finally saw my daughter today.

Most of you know it's been six long months.

Had to play with her while that goddamn woman from the court watched us. My own

daughter.

Not too close, of course.

Anybody can attend these things.

Yeah, my father was, um... He called alcoholics and nuns. The word being a

is sacred.

It's not like it's church. We are literally sitting in a church. We like

that addiction is the disease of relapse.

Well, so is parenthood.

And I relapsed.

I want to be your dad.

Again.

Hey.

You're new.

Yeah. Just feeling this thing out, you know?

Any questions?

Hit me up.

You know, I was kind of wondering.

As a doctor, can you tell someone's high just by looking at them?

Depends on the person.

Really? So, I mean, if I were on smack right now, you might not even know.

I never said I was a doctor.

Did you not? Wait, no, I thought I already said that.

Hey, hey, hey, hey.

Take it easy, okay? You're the lawyers for the hospital? No, we're... I am a

lawyer? Right. From Tinley Britt.

The leeches who do the hospital's dirty work? Listen, listen, there is no reason

to get physical here, right? We are in a church.

I told your colleague, that icy bitch in the suit and tie, that I haven't seen

Jackie since she was fired. Truth is that Jackie's been a little hard to

Right. We were just hoping you might be able to steer us her way.

A recent address, maybe?

How would I know?

She wouldn't give me the time of day, let alone her address.

Why don't you ask her ex -boyfriend?

He's all she'd ever talk about. Of course, man. The ex. He's, um... No,

uh... You know what? I left my notepad in the car. Charlie Sturm.

Right.

Now get the hell out of here before I call the police. All right, relax.

Come on.

Good luck with your daughter.

Come on.

Jackie was one of two nurses who treated our client's son. It's important that

we find her. What's Jackie mixed up in? Is she in trouble?

She's in a lawsuit, Mr. Stern. We might need her as a witness.

It must be one hell of a lawsuit because this is the second time someone's

knocked on my door.

Is that right?

Who knocked first?

She didn't give a name. She just said she was an investigator.

Kind of icy in a suit and tie?

That's her.

You know, Jackie moved out of our apartment, but she's only been affording

dress. Do you guys know where she might have moved to? Well, like I said to that

woman, I haven't heard from Jackie in weeks.

You stayed in touch when she split up, right?

Yeah, we stayed friends. Yeah. Friends my ass.

She may as well have slept between us.

Amber. Don't Amber me.

Jackie's not my problem, and she's not yours either. Amber, I swear to God.

Look, we really need to find Jackie, but we don't want to cause any trouble.

Oh, no, no, no, no.

That's Jackie's job.

Jackie, uh...

She took Amber and my marriage pretty hard.

I tried to be her friend, but she's... Why are you empathetic?

Okay, so you guys, you have our card.

If you hear from her, we pass along her info.

Sure. Yeah.

Great.

Thanks a ton. You doing? Yeah.

Jackie, what have you gotten yourself into?

I've done a ton of mock depots. Mock depots?

Stop. My nipples are getting hard.

I don't understand. Because the doctor is at the heart of our case. Because the

multi -million dollar lawsuit hinges on what we get out of him. So he will

definitely not be the first person you ever depose. Okay. When was he born?

Who? Donnie Ray Black.

When was he born?

November 29th, 1994.

So you know he was born with a heart murmur.

Is that relevant?

Shouldn't be.

Disappeared when he was five. But the other side, they will try to hammer us

with it. Okay, great.

So you know a couple things.

I'll get up to speed. I'm sure you're aware that Donnie was a straight -A

student starting fourth on the Jackson High basketball team until his senior

year when he broke his wrist.

The doctor prescribed Vicodin, then re -upped him six times, no questions

That's probably what led to his first addiction.

admitted to north city general the day he died at 5 foot 9 160 pounds red blood

cell count 5 .9 cells per microliter resting heart rate 85 bpm and blood

pressure 80 over palp but you know all this all right

now

my nipples are hard

I swear I'll pay you back.

All these people asking questions, Jackie.

What did you do?

I was trying to do the right thing.

Why didn't you go to the police?

I wanted to.

You still can.

You're the only one I trust.

I'm sorry.

If Amber finds out... I know. I'm leaving.

Thanks for everything, Charlie.

You again, Dr. Mulvaney?

Do you know each other?

He's the asshole you people sent to spy on me in my AA meeting.

Yeah, he's opposing counsel.

You said you were with Tinley Britt. You've got to be kidding me.

We never actually said that. No, we didn't say that.

I wonder if the man who bought that suit would approve of your behavior.

It's my brother's suit.

You just let Drummond into your head.

Look at me.

You cannot be thinking about anything other than what you're here to do.

Got it?

Got it.

Come on.

The tox screen I ordered came back positive for morphine. Did you or anyone

the nursing staff give Donny Ray morphine? No. The only way this patient

overdosed on drugs is if he came into the hospital with them already in his

system. How could you possibly know that unless you were in his room every

minute? Common sense.

How often did you check on Donny Ray after he was admitted? Three times.

And how many patients do you usually see during your shift?

Typical night, 60 to 70.

That's a lot of bodies to keep track of. That's the job.

How's Karen Horton doing?

Who? Karen. She came in with head trauma from a car accident. You don't remember

her? Objection. Relevant.

This isn't a trial. He still has to answer the question.

Is that true?

Yeah.

Um, yes, now I do. Um, what did you do for her? I ordered her an MRI.

You recall doing that?

Yes, absolutely.

I'm sorry.

I think I've got this wrong. It says here all the victims were brought to

Charleston General.

She was never a patient of yours.

Dirty trick. I agree. Bruiser, can you please get control of this? I think he's

doing just great.

I can't remember every patient who comes through those doors. These alias?

Am I deposing him or am I deposing you?

I remember your client, okay? He had azaleas in his room. I'm allergic. Every

time I went in to see him, I couldn't stop sneezing. No, you can just stick

hand up his ass. You can operate his mouth easier.

That's good. That's on the record. Doctor, what time was Donny Ray Black

admitted to the hospital?

6 p .m.

Two of the nurses who treated Donny Ray, ER nurse Melvin Pritchard and ICU nurse

Jackie Lomanchik, no longer worked for North City General.

Do you find that curious?

Objection leading.

Again, he has to answer.

Critical care nurses suffer a high burnout rate. Ever have someone's life

your hands? Is that why Nurse Lemenchik was fired?

I wouldn't know.

No? Well, I have one more question, Doctor.

Do you require supervision treating your patients?

What? The court requires it when you visit your own daughter, right?

Okay, we're finished.

Nice job, Bruiser.

This is Circus.

Nice job.

They have a credibility problem with that doctor.

Wouldn't be surprised if he came back with a bigger offer.

Why'd you ask at the time Donny Ray was admitted?

His alias.

Dot wasn't told her son was in the hospital until he was dead. And even if

was, the fact he wasn't admitted until 6 p .m. His alias weren't his.

So he must have had a roommate. And a roommate's a witness.

The hospital will never give us his name.

HIPAA violation.

You know who's not bound by HIPAA?

Florists.

Hey, how you doing today? I was a patient at North City General the week

August 25th, and my roommate had this amazing arrangement of azaleas.

You don't sell azaleas.

Sorry for bugging you.

I'm down.

Sarah, don't you look lovely.

Sorry to bother you in the middle of your work day. Oh, no, no, no, don't be

silly. I was in the area and thought I'd surprise Rudy, but the receptionist

couldn't find his name in the system. Yeah, yeah, well, she's new in the

It's a little glitchy. So all this money, you'd think we'd have a better

internal directory, right?

So where is he?

He's in court, like, all afternoon.

Oh, that's a shame.

Yeah, I know. He's going to be upset he missed you.

Hello, Sarah.

Brad, hi.

Hello, I'm Brad Noonan. I work with Sarah.

Mary Baylor. Pleased to meet you.

Baylor? You're not related to Rudy Baylor. Yes, he's my son.

He seemed like a fine young man. We were sorry to see him go.

Well, I should be going.

Very nice to meet you.

I'll tell Rudy.

I'll tell him.

Good, come in.

I brought my notes.

In the depot.

Sit down.

Your, uh, boyfriend likes to play fast and loose.

I was just as surprised as you.

Clearly.

We don't talk about work.

Guess you must find other things to discuss.

Close your eyes.

I'm sorry?

Close your eyes.

Okay, picture this.

You're a senior partner handling an incredible workload, managing a team of

extremely talented lawyers.

The National Law Journal calls.

They want to make you Lawyer of the Year.

Naturally, there's a dinner to which you invite all the people you most respect.

and admire to join you at that table.

Here's the question.

Is Rudy Baylor beside you?

Your mother came by the office today.

She thinks you still work at Tinley Print.

Shit.

I was planning on telling her.

I wanted to get through the bar exam.

It was awful.

Do you want to talk about what happened to the deposition?

Definitely not.

We both just need to pass the bar tomorrow.

I'm sorry, I don't like your suit.

The first session of the bar exam is a mix of constitutional law, civil

procedure, torts, evidence,

Contract, real property, and criminal law and procedure.

Then a one -hour break and return for another three -hour session.

You may open your laptop.

It's the one Dad gave you, right?

I can't.

It's yours.

Now it's yours.

Go on.

by a federally funded educational institution filed a retaliation

under Title IX.

The, uh, the civil procedure question on negligent maintenance.

They couldn't retry because of Ray's judicata?

Please say yes.

How long do we got to go back to?

20 minutes.

How did you answer the fertile oxygenary question?

Really?

Lou,

what do you mean you never deliver to North City? You're called flowers

everywhere.

Yeah, I just want to clarify. You're called all flowers, but you don't sell

azaleas.

Okay. Well, maybe you should just be called sunflowers.

No, no, not sunflowers.

You don't sell those either.

Hey, how you doing? Quick question. Do you guys deliver to North City General?

Can I help you?

Yeah, we're looking for Bruce. Well, I'm sure you guys don't tell the values.

You do?

Great. Well, how good are your records?

Take a seat.

Hey, I think I found our florist.

We've got visitors.

I can see that.

They're FBI.

I can see that, too.

Agent. Destroy.

She's Cutler. Can I get you anything?

Coffee? Water?

Shot of bourbon? Thanks, but we've got something for you.

You know who that is?

Rosalie Sutton.

She's the reason my father's in prison. Your father's in prison because he

arranged for her to leave the country before she could testify.

I've heard.

Did you ever meet Miss Sutton prior to her disappearance?

The transcripts are freely available if you want to read my testimony.

Never met her.

Would it surprise you to hear that she's dead?

We got a credible tip that Rosalie Sutton was murdered. I also have a

tip.

Unless the U .S. Marshal serves me a subpoena, we're done here.

You need to get out of this. I only need three things.

Kentucky bourbon, a bloody steak, and a man who won't spend the night.

Try it, age of color.

Might loosen you up a little.

We at the top.

Uh -oh.

This sounds serious.

It is.

Well, I got a fresh pot of coffee.

Sure.

So, it's about the kid?

Oh, no, Rudy. It's doing just fine.

It's about my father.

I see.

FBI's been sniffing around.

Why'd you two get me mixed up in?

Your father's in prison for witness tampering.

Now, everything you need to know came out in that case. Yeah, then why are

in my face?

Look, if they had something, they'd be in my face.

Prince, where's Rosalie Sutton?

You don't want to say that name out loud again. Where is she? Bruiser, I'm going

to answer this one time, and one time only.

I don't know.

Now, that's the God's honest, I have no idea, and that's the end of this

conversation.

You know I love you, Brutha.

I always have.

Always will.

For a second, I thought... Hey, um, I'll catch on. Welcome

back. Hi.

How'd it go?

Good. Yeah?

Who's your friend?

Um, she's, uh, she's associated with my friend.

Um, look, a bunch of us, we're gonna go out for drinks and celebrate.

You wanna go?

Yeah. Come on.

Hey, you know what?

I'm, uh... Do you mind? I think I'm just gonna go home, grab something to eat,

and pass out. Are you sure?

Totally.

I'll call you, though.

Okay? Okay.

I'll leave you sure.

See you.

Bye.

What are you doing here?

What do you mean? I just... Are you following me?

Following? No.

I was driving by and I saw you.

The bus stuck.

The last time I ride?

I don't even have one.

We'll do now.

So, what is that place?

It's a...spa.

I took the bars in today.

How'd it go?

Yeah, good.

I think, I mean, you never know, you know? So you're a lawyer now?

Up and down.

That's Bob.

It's open till 2 a .m. Can you drop me off here?

I'm sorry.

It's really not my business. If it's not that, I just need to get out of here.

You were just a few blocks. We'll get... I know.

You don't want your husband to see me driving you.

Thanks for the ride.

Kelly?

Night, Rudy.

What the hell?

Do you want to get the hell out of my place?

I wanted to see what you see when you're watching my wife through your window.

I'm not watching.

These apartments are close.

If I ever see your face in that window again, you're a dead man.

We have a barbecue, you know how we do it. Ride fire up while we're underneath

them.

Oh, I guess that smells of sex and vomit. You have food on your face.

I do?

No.

This is why I buy them off the rack.

Just a little tip for you.

Hey, Ross. Hey, thanks for coming down. No worries, man. Who are you?

Hey, we represent the family of Donny Ray Black.

You shared a room with him, right?

North City General, not he died?

Sorry, I really don't know anything about that.

Hey, whoa, whoa, wait.

Donny Ray was just a little older than you, and his mom, she's a mess. She

closure. Anything you can tell it.

I mean, lots of it.

Look,

I was really out of it.

I was coming down from anesthesia after surgery.

Yeah, what'd you have surgery for?

A condition called torsion. It's no biggie. What, you mean testicular

My second cousin had that. He had to have one of his...

Balls removed.

You know what? Well, hey, sorry.

Right? We're very sorry. Yes, we are very sorry. Sorry.

About your ball.

Your hospital roommate.

We just want to ask you about what you saw.

Can you show him Donnie? Yeah.

You recognize him?

Yeah, yeah, except he wasn't smiling. He was messed up. Yeah. Do you remember

anyone else coming into the room that night? Sure.

Doctors and nurses came in all night long. Any names?

No names, but there was a nurse who kept waking me up to take my temp.

This her?

Yeah, yeah. She came in four or five times, checked on me and your guy.

All right. Anyone else?

There was a douchebag doctor who wanted the flowers that my mom sent out of the

room. Yeah, we know that guy.

Yep. Yeah, yeah, that's him. Yeah.

Now, did you see him give your roommate any meds?

No, not him. Another guy.

Wait, what?

You saw another doctor giving him meds. A nurse, a male nurse, came in and

started changing his medication.

How did he do that?

He injected something into his IV bag.

You've got to be very clear with us right now. You're sure about that? It

not the flower hater?

No, ma 'am. A nurse, like a baker guy.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, that's him.

I heard him whisper to a guy, it's okay, I'm a nurse, which creeped me out a

little, if I'm honest.

Thank you, Ross.

Truly.

We really appreciate it. Thank you.

This isn't a negligent suit anymore.

It's murder.

So your theory is Pritchard waltzes into Donny Ray Black's room and injects him

with morphine.

He wasn't even supposed to be upstairs.

There's no reason for an ER nurse to be anywhere near a admitted patient. Boss,

we got this. Dial M for murder. And Maserati isn't the one I will be buying

our settlement out. Well, you might want to dial another M for maybe, which is

our chance of actually proving this.

Did you get the security cam? No, the hospital wipes the footage every 72

We will just bring in Uni Ball to testify.

You're going to need a lot more than an anesthetized teenager.

Someone will turn him inside out on cross.

How about a suspicious heart attack?

We can tie Melvin to Roberta Karaki. Yes, Jacqueline Metrick's neighbor,

If we can tie Pritchard to her death. That's quite a leap. Guys, we've got to

call the police before he kills somebody else.

No, not yet. Not until we confirm this up.

Yeah, see if you can get the neighbor's autopsy. Autopsy? We don't have time for

that. We're looking at homicide. You don't think that's why Drummond's so

to make this case disappear?

His client is guilty of criminal conspiracy.

After a hard day, don't worry

about nothing.

A new day keeps coming.

You are sick.

I've got a flat.

Would you mind giving me a ride?

Sure.

I wasn't going to come, but I thought, for old

time's sake, I would hear you out.

I had a visit from the FBI.

But of course you knew that. How would I know that?

Whatever you think you're doing, it won't work.

I'm not doing anything.

But if I were, the fact that we're both sitting here would suggest that, in

fact, it is working.

I'm going to bail you out, Leo.

Really?

For old time's sake.

I'm willing to settle this case.

Good. I think it's a very generous offer.

Oh, no, you misunderstand me.

I have an offer for you.

Call off the FBI.

And I'll convince my client to settle with the hospital.

For 80 million.

Did you drag me out here to play games?

Melvin Pritchard, the murderer.

He killed Donny Ray Black.

And you and your client know it.

80 million.

That Sarah tells a good lie.

You'll want to watch out for that. She was just trying to protect me.

That was it.

You're smoking again?

I guess we both have secrets.

I'm sorry.

I wanted to tell you, but I needed to figure out my next move first.

What happened?

I, uh... I got into it with a senior partner.

Mom is stupid, but I'm still a lawyer.

I'm starting out at a different kind of firm.

The firm.

They reputable?

Yeah, they have a reputation.

I see.

What kind of law?

You remember that case I told you about? The lawsuit against the hospital?

That is real.

My case. I brought it in. I found it.

It's actually something you might be quite interested in.

It's a mother fighting for her son.

I just want to lay down, Mom.

Ever since John died.

Stop right there.

You don't get to use your dead brother to squeeze out of a jam you made

yourself.

Hank not in?

He's gone.

Gone?

I kicked him out.

That's that.

What the hell?

It's the middle of the night.

But your father needs you to watch someone for a few days. Absolutely not.

Bruiser, say hello to Rosalie.

Right now, I just need you to get real loose.

Get coming.

It's time to wake up, Jackie.

Jackie! We need to find Jackie the man, Jackie.

This guy's a murderer.

Prove it.

Be careful with Rudy. He may be your boyfriend, but right now he's not your

friend.

You don't have to be like Leo. You're not like him.

I'm thinking of bringing her in a bit more.

Court is adjourned.

I've heard enough.

Go home, Rudy. So does that old man have a chance?
