Original subtitles

Previously on Rainmaker. There's a killer on the loose. I'm going to take

son of a bitch.

You're the only one that knows. That doesn't weigh on you at all?

Last night was a lot of fun.

Jackie LeManchi brought her concerns to you about Melvin Pritchard.

Caused the death of Donny Ray Black. Your teacher committee found no evidence

wrongdoing. Welcome back.

Maybe submission's your kink, Brad. Something tells me Sarah wants the gun.

If the firm wants to support me, let me support the firm.

Dad. You're not breaking the law. You're testing how elastic it is.

What's in that document?

Do you know if Jackie may have hidden something at your house?

No, I don't think so. You can't fire me. It's not personal.

You're bringing in someone else.

You found three bugs in there? It's the Fed. You know who that is? Do your

father need you to watch them for a few days? Bruiser, say hello to Rosalie. I

need to know what my father was into, Bobby. We had him and Prince on a wire.

Sorry.

Just me stalking. I didn't know you came in.

Can I get you?

I'll take a tub soda.

Daiko.

We know your boss.

Yeah, Princess, and you're right.

We're talking about Jocelyn Stone.

How much do you know about Miss Stone and her father?

Who are you guys?

Better question is, who are you? What's that supposed to mean?

Do you know who you're working for? I'll ask you again.

Who are you?

I'm Special Agent Cutler. This is Agent Satuli.

I don't think I want to talk to you guys without a lawyer.

And you are a lawyer, Mr. Braylor.

Aren't you?

You can just listen.

Maybe you've heard about Rosalie Sutton.

A few years back, she was a whistleblower in a case against

Group, a fertilizer company.

Lyman Stone is getting out of prison today for witness tampering in the case.

Rosalie Sutton was the witness.

We found her body two weeks ago.

Murdered.

I still don't understand why you guys are here.

We just want you to know who you're working for. Really? You think Bruiser?

Sorry, Jocelyn Stone.

Has something to do with this? Rudy, take my card.

If you know anything, hear anything, get on the right side of this. Is this why

you guys are bugging our offices?

Interesting. Why is that interesting?

We're not bugging your offices.

Hello?

Rosalie?

I can't get her to stop.

Do you know what to do?

Uh, how about, uh, walk then?

Hit it.

Hit it.

Maybe she's hungry.

Oh, I fed her.

And I changed her.

I have to use the bathroom.

Do you mind holding her for a minute?

Oh, I... This really isn't my area.

Please?

I'll just be a minute.

Hey. Hey.

That's it?

I'll let you keep it if you shut up.

What did you do?

Negotiated.

Don't you want to ask me? Definitely not.

I don't even want to know your last name.

I was asked to give you a bed for two days.

You get picked up tomorrow night, then we say goodbye, and that's it.

Can you do me one favor?

Unlikely.

I want to leave her with my sister.

She lives in Somerville.

Once I'm settled and it's safe, she'll bring her to me.

I can't help you. I'm sorry.

I've already done more than I should.

She's just a baby.

Garrett?

Pop.

I was expecting Prince.

Yeah, well, he called.

Said he'd understand and that you'd be happy to see me anyway.

I'm always happy to see you.

Give your man a hug.

We're not alone.

May I?

Yeah. They bugged my office. My office.

Let's get out of here.

Bruiser, there's a... Who are you?

Jerry Lyman Stone.

You work for me?

No. I work for Bruiser.

Bruiser works for me, so you do, too.

You're Baylor. Oh, good. You two have met.

Can I have my desk back, please? Yeah, I need to talk to you. All right, these

are all of them. Obviously, I took the batteries out.

What do you want to talk about?

Those.

They're not FBI bugs.

That's what I was going to say.

And how would you know that?

They came to talk to me.

The feds?

What'd they say?

We talk alone.

You are alone.

We are attorneys now, so you have the privilege.

You've been disbarred, remember?

Come on, Bob.

Go get some coffee or something.

Both of you.

Your D -90 in a minute? Yeah, come on, big guy. When was the last time you had

donut? There's a new place called Bake Shop. You're gonna love it.

A little strawberry frosting on the top, all organic strawberries.

Ooh, nearly. It's magic.

What's up? They found her.

Who?

Rosalie Sutton.

She was murdered.

They think Lyman did.

My father's a lot of unsavory things, but he's not a murderer. Sure about

I'm sure it's none of your business.

What do you want me to tell the FBI?

I want you to tell them the truth.

That you don't know what the hell they're talking about.

So we managed to get our hands on the files.

And it seems one of the missing nurses, Jackie Lomancek, brought them her

suspicion that the other missing nurse, Melvin Pritchard, was... You remember

this?

murdering patients, one of them being our client's son.

This is nuts.

Everything all right?

Yeah, everything's fine.

It's not the feds bugging this place. Who is it?

They have a hell of a case here. Yeah, and you wanted me to settle it.

One thing's for sure. Our client... My client.

Our client is not their biggest problem. Who is?

The families of all the other patients this psycho murdered.

All of them will go after great benefit if we win.

So can you win?

Yeah. No.

Not yet.

They don't know that.

That's why they look at this little baby case as a potential monster.

And what do you do if you know a baby will grow up to be a monster?

You bludgeon it in its crib.

That's a little aggressive.

Leo. Had the office bugged. And he knows everything you've talked about in here.

What do you need to win?

We need to find Dracula Manchin.

All rise.

Matter of the state versus Melvin Pritchard.

The Court of General Sessions' Ninth Circuit is now in session.

The Honorable Judge Munro presiding.

That's a murderer.

There's no way he's going to willingly show up to court. His mother is the only

one he didn't kill.

You do not know that.

Saw it in his eyes.

He's desperate to find out who killed his mom and proven innocent.

The defendant is in violation of 17 -15 -90, failure to appear.

And we ask the court to immediately issue a bench warrant for this dangerous

individual. Your Honor, that would be premature, and I object to the

characterization of my client as dangerous.

Potentially dangerous.

You happy now?

Quinn's already working the judge. Mr. Nunley, this is a murder trial. Your

Honor, I assure you, my client is aware of the gravity of these proceedings.

I'm telling you, our boy's in the wind.

Yes, sir.

How confident are you?

Huh? You half a rack of ribs confident?

For a place with a succotash?

I'm going to issue a warrant for his arrest.

I'm here.

I'm here. I'm here.

I'm sorry.

So nice of your client to make time in his diapers.

How so, sir?

You know?

Never had succotash. If it's all right with him, I'd like to proceed.

Thank Christ you remember the oxygen.

You're late because of your condition. You understand?

I'm so sorry.

Your Honor, my client apologizes. His nerves about the enormity of the charge

against him seem to have exacerbated his condition.

Defense is ready to proceed.

Ah, spring rolls. The roll is our favorite.

I don't eat fried food.

You're different.

A few months with that kid and you change his spots?

His optimism is irritating.

But our fish just turned into a possible whale. We're a volume business, like I

taught you.

Sign him up, settle him out, buy a new suit, rinse, repeat.

You still smell like prison soap and you're going to dictate my cases.

What time do you start without me?

What the hell is this?

Leo and I came to an agreement.

you came to an agreement.

I still own this firm.

One million.

Which is more money than you ever dreamed of.

And how much is he kicking to you on the side?

Two hundred?

Come on, your punchy little team had a couple good days, and we acknowledged it

in the offer.

And your punchy little team bugged my office.

Not only does that get me a winning court, it gets you prison time.

Bugging opposing counsel's office.

would be extremely illegal.

Let's all settle down. No, I don't think I will.

And the answer is no.

I don't want your money.

But the client might. You don't know her.

She's a street fighter.

She's more like you than him.

Jocelyn, how are you going to feel when you lose and you turn down a million

dollar offer?

You too.

You ought to freshen up your act.

She knows she doesn't have a choice.

Now, on to our other issue.

You went to Prince before going through me.

Well, you were indisposed.

He doesn't work for you unless I get my beak wet.

And I thought prison would have softened you.

Not a bit.

I made another settlement offer.

One million.

That's surprising.

Keeley didn't want to go to trial, but I convinced him to prep just in case. I'm

ready for him. I've been going through the depths. Farrah will do this one.

Leo, I handle trial prep.

Not this time.

Keeley requested her.

And the customer's always right.

This isn't a department store.

You always say the client doesn't know what's best for them. But I do.

I know this case better than anyone.

And yet.

We may well go to trial because of what they won in the last depot with the

witness that you prepped.

That's on me, too.

Like, it was a team effort.

Would you have piped up for credit if the depot had gone well and I was

complimenting him?

No, I wouldn't have.

But whatever happened between you two in London, leave it in London. Jesus, Leo.

You're not here to have fun.

You're not here to make friends.

You're here to dominate. That's how you make partner.

And if the client asks for the junior associate, even though the senior

associate stands willing and able, what do you tell him?

That she'll be ready.

Good.

You want to be useful?

Prep her so she can prep him.

Meeting adjourned.

Brad. Brad, stop. Look.

That really wasn't fair. I'm sorry.

Don't be. I've been stuck with Leo because of his fairness.

Yeah. I won't leave you hanging, okay?

I'll make sure you're all set.

You'd do that?

You heard him.

Don't have a choice.

I would have done it anyway.

I gotta hop on the Zoom, but let's talk later and make a plan.

Yeah.

Ready to tell a murder?

Well, he almost killed us last time, so... No.

Well?

What are you doing?

What's wrong?

Thought I saw Prince.

What? How could Prince be here?

I don't know.

Come on.

See? I told you these would come in handy.

What'd you like?

Nice. In case of an emergency.

Boo -boo, I have a question.

How is it possible that you've never had succotash, huh? Little corn, shrimp,

and dewy sausage. You know who I blame? I blame... Oh.

Our apple.

I got it.

Our second rule.

When was the last time you washed this car?

Rudy, this is Welton's honey pie.

If it dropped in a toilet seat, I would eat this.

5197. Okay.

Let's go.

No, no, no, no. We're not going to follow him. No, no, no. Don't go after

Rudy, hey, don't go after Rudy.

Oh, my gosh.

You're still going to die?

Hey, let's just wait out in the car.

See if we can bring Jackie out.

Hey, did you not see Songs of the Lambs? That movie freaked me out. These

places, they are bad juju.

That day old pie, bad juju. Come on.

You're bad juju.

This is a terrible idea.

I don't understand.

You could have told Melvin when you spotted me in the woods that night, but

didn't.

Nor even.

He's in the building. We have to go. Go now.

Now.

Hey Melvin.

Stop. What are you doing?

Hey, it's you again.

Whatever you're going to do.

You shouldn't be here, Rudy.

Don't. Hey, don't.

Please don't. He's important to my case, Prince. I have two questions. You set

the fire. Did you kill my mother?

Did you?

You set the fire?

No. Now shut up. Prince, can't you see what they're doing? They're trying to

rid of all the evidence. What, are you going to help them?

They're using you. Come on. You know me. Please.

Put it down, Prince. Please don't do this. Please.

Hey, hey, hey. Don't do that.

Dex, look.

Turn around.

And walk away. Don't do this. Prince, stop. Turn around and walk away. Prince,

please. He's going to kill Melvin. No, listen, you don't mess with this,

You're going to let them just walk out of here?

We need him.

Hey, hey.

We need Jackie, kid.

Jackie, we need Jackie.

Come on.

Jackie?

Jackie! Jackie!

The lights are on. That means someone's still here.

Jackie! Jackie!

Jackie! Jackie!

Like I said, bad juju.

You have to make sure he has all the data.

If he's asked a question, he can't fumble around for the answer.

The jury hears that as hedging at best, lying at worst.

You know, Keeley's likable.

Grandpa energy. He doesn't come across as a liar.

There's a fine line between affable and dimwitted.

You don't want the jury to think that bad things can happen on his watch

him knowing.

The most of witness prep is about managing the client.

He needs to trust you.

That part you've done already.

Clearly.

He has an ego.

He wants to believe he knows everything.

But remember, you have what he needs.

I do?

Intelligence, knowledge, confidence.

It's very seductive.

You might have mentioned this earlier.

Mentioned what?

The fact that Prince was involved in the case that landed your father in prison.

It didn't seem relevant at the time. It's relevant now.

I think I am entitled to a little more information, don't you?

All right.

What do you want to know?

What happened back then?

What happened?

I let Rosalie Sutton stay with me for a couple of nights while they worked out a

plan to get her into Canada.

A prince picked her up. That was the last I heard of it. And then she wound

dead.

Yeah. Did your father kill her?

Or was it Prince?

I don't know anymore.

You're missing the point, kid.

What do you mean?

So long as there was no body, there was no proof of homicide.

But now.

She hid in your house for two days.

Which makes you an accomplice to murder.

And Leo knows.

Yeah, but it's just crazy. Prince and Melvin? What's crazy?

They did it before. They're doing it again. First Rosalie, now Melvin. Except

for one thing.

My father just negotiated a settlement with Leo.

What are you talking about? A settlement?

Yeah, one million.

As in dollars?

No, kittens.

Without an admission, she's never going to go for that.

Yeah, not even for seven figures.

They're scared.

Which is why they're hedging their bet.

Get rid of Melvin and Jackie.

Make sure we don't have a case.

Yeah, but you guys said you didn't see Jackie.

Maybe they killed her already.

Or Melvin did.

And we're toast.

It's over.

All of Leo's games, did they ever bother you?

Leo has a reason for everything.

Iron sharpens iron, right?

Plucky was right.

You should have known all of Bernie Manfred's dirty little secrets and you

didn't.

That's why we're not going to make the same mistake with you and Keeley.

I got it.

In his depo, Keeley said he didn't recall the details of his meeting with

Manfred.

Possible.

He's the CEO of a huge corporation.

Aren't you a little curious about what actually happened in that meeting?

What do you think happened?

I don't know.

But what they think happened...

is that Keeley's VP told him a nurse in his hospital is killing people.

That's what Rudy's going to run with.

And what if he's right?

I've been on this case a lot longer than you.

Been in those meetings.

Manfred never brought this up to Keeley. Yeah, how can he be so short?

Grandpa energy.

I don't believe for a second he's capable of that kind of cover -up.

And if we do our jobs right, neither will the jury.

How come you didn't want to see me again?

What? After London.

You lost interest.

You can take the fifth. We work together.

Move to strike.

Non -responsive.

Sleeping with my boss isn't exactly the best career move.

Your boss, huh?

So it's about ambition, not desire?

I never said that.

But you don't deny it.

May I remind you, Miss Plankmore, you are under oath.

Iron sharpens iron.

You should go.

Yeah, you should get some sleep.

Got a big day tomorrow.

Really, Tom?

They did it before. They're doing it again. First Rosalie, now Melba. Make

we don't have a case.

They're trying to get rid of all the evidence. Are you going to help them?

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

You stayed in touch and she split up, right?

She may as well have slept between us. Charlie, do you know what's up? I'm with

Amber.

She took a whack to the head. She's in a coma.

Tried to get murders, home invasion, with no evidence for any of it.

You wake up in the morning and there's snow on the ground. You know what that

means? It's snowed.

Hating me To think about you and I You

I

thought I heard your voice

At the door I

can come back. No. Fine.

I'm all done.

Do you know if Charlie Stern left for the day?

You just missed him. Sorry.

Jackie?

Jackie!

Jackie! Wait! I represent Doc Black, Donny Ray Black's mother. I believe you.

I believe you.

I don't know who I can trust. You can trust me.

My client? My client?

Just wants justice for her son.

Melvin Pritchard murdered him.

The hospital knew about it. They tried to cover it up.

They ruined your life, Jackie.

They need to pay.

Now I know you're scared.

I'm sorry. I can't help you. Please.

Actually, it's my cheat sheet. I don't need any more prep. You don't want to

through it again?

Definitely not.

No. Whoa, where's that coming from?

Hey, did I misread you last night? Because I thought you were into it.

I don't know what game you think you're playing, but you're only playing with

yourself.

But I imagine that's familiar territory for you.

Was it too rough for you?

I thought you'd like it.

Given your behavior.

My behavior?

Every time he baits you, you lap it up.

And I stand there and take it.

There it is.

You passed the bar a month ago, sweetheart.

You're only at this firm because your daddy got Leo into Augusta.

I've been here since you were on acne pills and have been point on nothing but

tier one accounts for the past two years.

We are not the same. No, we are definitely not the same.

Sweetheart.

You think you know what this case is about? You don't. Trust me.

You're not even close.

You're not ready for this, not by a long shot. Leo thinks I'm ready. What did I

tell you?

Leo will never believe you're a player until you leave blood on the floor.

Are you prepared to do that?

Because that's what it takes.

Not just a bottle of wine and seduction of your boss.

It takes blood.

And not just yours.

Don't worry.

I'll be here to put the toys away when you're done playing dress -up.

Hello again, Mr. Kiwi.

Call me Ishmael.

Moby Dick.

Well played.

So, should we get started?

Of course.

The cross is designed to trip you up. It'll attack your memory, your

and credibility.

You don't need any of this.

You are well -versed in the cocktail of facts, and I do not recall.

Can we speak plainly, Mr. Keeley?

I wish you would.

Tell me what you're afraid of.

I worry about losing, of course.

Is that all?

No.

See if you know this one.

No man knows how bad he is till he has tried very hard to be good.

You finally stumped me.

Yes, Lewis.

I cheated a bit. It's not an opening line.

Sarah, you're young.

You haven't made your worst decisions yet.

I made one last night.

You think we're defined by them?

Our worst decisions?

I think people are more complicated than that.

Does anyone still call you Philly Billy?

I haven't heard that name in years.

What else do you know?

He lived in South Philadelphia, 30th between Reed and Dickinson, until your

parents moved you to Charleston freshman year.

The kids at your new school called you Philly Billy, which you hated.

You even got suspended for punching a boy in the face when he called you that.

And a year later, he was my best friend.

But you already knew that, didn't you?

Mr. Keeley.

What really happened at North City Hospital?

All I tried to do was protect this thing that I built.

Which is why you didn't want anyone to know what Melvin Pritchard did.

Mr. Keeley, everything we discuss in this room is privileged.

Only those who try to resist temptation know how strong it is.

C .S. Lewis again?

All right.

You've shown me what you've learned. I'm going to tell you what I've learned.

We are, in fact, defined by our decisions.

And you're staring at one right now.

And I'm giving you what no one gave me in that moment.

An off -ramp.

That's why you asked for me.

Get away from this place, Sarah.

Get away from people like Leo.

Like me.

You look in the mirror and you think you see an evil man.

But I see Philly Billy.

The boy who wanted to play pro baseball until the summer he volunteered at a

local hospital and the thought of saving lives awoke something in him.

He went to college, pre -med, until he realized that wasn't a gift. His gift

numbers and imagination.

When you took over Great Benefit, it was three hospitals in two counties.

You turned it into 14 hospitals in four states. You not only built an empire,

you built a lifeline to every community Great Benefit serves.

That's what you say when you're on the stand, Mr. Keeley.

You let them know who you are.

You're gonna be there.

Of course.

I'm your lawyer.

Hey, grab yourself a drink, man. The game's on.

Did you do it?

Do what?

What is this? Are we pretending it didn't happen?

Do you realize what you've done?

Aside from the obvious, which is frankly impossible for me to get my head

around, that guy was our best chance of winning this case.

I don't know what you're talking about, but neither do you.

Understand? Wasn't the only one there, Prince. Remember?

Look, that's been around a long time.

I ain't worried about him.

Do I need to be worried about you?

I like you, Rudy.

Helped you when you needed it.

Well, I gave you a gun and a guy ended up dead.

That's what friends do for each other.

So, let's stay friends, huh?

Thank

you.

Judge Kippler croaked.

What? Oh, yeah, she had a stroke. Apparently it was her second one. What

mean we're dropping it?

How do you go from a million -dollar offer to dropping it?

He paid you off, didn't he?

The client turned the offer down, remember?

They only made the offer because they were worried.

Unless they don't have a reason to be worried anymore.

Something you want to tell us? You keep your mouth shut. You should listen to

her. We're dropping the case. That's all you need to know. You can't do that.

The old lady signed with J.

Lyman Stone, not Jocelyn Stone.

It's my firm, my decision.

I've lost faith in the case. It's actually not your decision.

Excuse me?

Dot did sign with Jay Limestone.

That was one hour ago.

She fired you.

She signed with me.

It's my resignation letter.

Really gonna do this?

Are you threatening me?

You think you have what it takes to go it alone?

Oh, I know he does.

What are you waiting for?

I work for you, boss.

Well, then you're fired.

I hope you got that cat from Leo up front.

You okay?

Just drive.
