Previously on The Rainmaker. What do you
need to win?

We need to find Jackie LaMancher.

Jackie?

Jackie, wait! I represent Don Black,
Donny Ray Black's mother, I believe.

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

Get away from this place, Barry. Get
away from people like Leo.

Like me. That guy was our best chance
winning this case.

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

That's what friends do for each other.
We're dropping the case. That's all you

need to know. You can't do that. It's
actually not your decision.

Excuse me? Dot did sign with Jaylon, so
she fired you.

She signed with me.

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

I know he does.

Look, we're gonna be good.

Okay, we have a good case.

This is wrong.

His nurse is a serial killer. We can't
prove that in court. We don't have a

witness. We don't have a record.

We can't prove it to a jury.

Drummond will move for sanctions. Judge
will grant it and we will lose.

They knew about it. The hospital knew
about it. They covered it up. You can't

prove that.

It's the truth.

The truth doesn't matter.

How can you say that?

Without Jackie's testimony, whatever you
say in your opening statement, Rudy,

you have to be able to prove a trial.

We had the tissue committee files. The
files only proved that Jackie suspected

that Melvin was killing his patients,
okay? The committee, they didn't believe

her. Now she has the proof. She is the
proof. Yes, but we don't have her.

Yeah, but it wasn't just negligence,
Zach.

Just listen to me now. Please, listen to
me. Listen.

Your opening statement.

It is a contract with the jury that
you're going to prove what you're

If you break that promise, we're done.

I wish Bruiser was here.

Rudy, you know I dreamed about being a
lawyer since I was ten years old.

You know what I see when I look at you?

Come on, man.

The man I always wanted to be.

You can do this.

You're all we've got.

You know what? Give me a second.

Let me have that.

Not let you walk in there holding a
cardboard box.

I'll get you to go out to breakfast.

I can't eat.

First time for everything.

You ready to take the trash out?

You bet.

What are you doing?

Come on.

I didn't pass the bar, so I can't cross
the bar.

Look, I'm going to be right here.

I'm going to be right here behind you,
all right?

I know.

You two are friends.

Of course.

Been arguing for days.

What do you decide to do?

Claim we filed this for medical
malpractice. We can't prove murder, not

more evidence.

But, really, you're a call.

You're in the client.

And you're my lawyer.

There's one thing I've learned about
you, Rudy.

It's that you always do the right thing.

What are we here to do today?

Leave his blood on the floor.

Our little girl's growing up, Brad.

Bill.

Bill. Glad you could make it.

Sarah. Good morning, Mr. Keel. Nice to
see you.

All rise.

The court of common pleas.

Ninth Judicial Circuit now in session.

The Honorable Liza Murdoch presiding.

Good morning, everyone.

Morning, Your Honor. Morning, Judge.

Lovely day to get started.

The man is dead, Mr. Drummond. Let's act
accordingly.

Of course, Your Honor. Understood.

Let's bring the jury in.

Why are you getting so upset?

Because I should be in that courtroom
right now.

I made a judgment call.

Oh, yeah? Well, your judgment got you a
prison sentence.

Yeah, my judgment put you through law
school.

We have a search warrant for these
premises. You've got to be kidding.

Nice to see you again, Miss Stone.

Anyone else in the building?

Just us chickens.

You guys are unreal.

Good morning. My name is Rudy Baylor.

It was my first trial.

It was just a few months ago that I was
still in law school.

That's where I met Dot Black.

Who was running a free legal clinic?

Mostly small claims matters, but Dot
came with a different kind of problem.

She was distraught because her son,
Donnie Ray, had died.

in the care of North City Hospital,
subsidiary of Great Benefit. Now, they

he died of a drug overdose.

I will prove to you that Donny Ray was
clean and had been for over a year.

I will prove that the hospital and its
staff were negligent in caring for Donny

Ray.

I will prove and that

What's wrong?

My opening statement, Your Honor. Mr.
Baylor?

It's a contract with the jury, right?

I lied.

It's not just that the hospital was
negligent.

No, it was much worse than that. So much
worse.

A nurse at North City Hospital murdered
my client's son. Mr. Baylor.

Shouldn't we object?

His name is Melvin.

Mr.

Baylor. He murdered Donny Ray Black. And
that man right there, CEO Wilford

Keeley, and several of his executives
knew about it, and they covered it up.

Baylor, that's enough. Another nurse.

Jackie Lemanshig, she's a suspected
prisoner. Mr. Baylor, did you not hear

gavel? We only need to preserve our
objections for the administration. Don't

bother killing your enemy when he's busy
committing suicide.

Donny Ray Black was murdered. They knew
about it. Mr. Baylor, I'm warning you.

They covered it up.

That is enough, Mr. Baylor. Did you not
hear the gavel? And that is the truth.

Counsel, in my chambers now.

My first... Your first trial was a case
against a baker who delivered the wrong

wedding cake.

Your first case, Mr. Baylor, is against
a major corporation. I can only imagine

the stress you're under.

But that said, your performance in there
was utterly beneath the dignity of this

court. When I banged that gavel, you
shut up.

During the hearing on your motion to
compel, Judge Kipler invited you to

your complaint.

You and your then co -counsel, Miss
Stone, declined.

Yes, well, new evidence has come to
light, Your Honor.

Involving what you allege to be multiple
murders. And you didn't immediately

produce it to opposing counsel and alert
this court?

Oh, instead, you ambushed us all in your
opening. Just what, in God's name, is

this new evidence?

It's, um... I don't have it just yet.

Go ahead, Leo.

Because, frankly, I'm out of words.

We've been working under the assumption
that we're defending against a garden

variety medical malpractice claim. To be
blindsided and have my client defamed

in front of the jury based on some vague
reference to evidence, we haven't seen

that Mr. Baylor concedes he doesn't even
have his amateur hour at best.

If there is any such evidence, he has to
produce it here and now.

Otherwise, based on this disgraceful
conduct, not to mention the irreparable

prejudice to my client.

I move that you dismiss this action in
its entirety as a sanction under Rule

It's hard to argue.

Mr. Baylor, would you like to try?

Respectfully, Your Honor.

I may be new at this, but I believe you
need to make an explicit finding of bad

faith on my part to dismiss the case on
those grounds. I'm prepared to submit

the oath required under Rule 40, I too,
that I'm not doing this for an improper

purpose.

All I'm asking for is 48 hours.

to produce the evidence in support of
the new claim. Your Honor, Mr. Drummond

and his associates, they may not believe
that a trial is about the truth.

Please.

I do.

I think you do, too.

You'll know what I believe when I render
a decision.

I'll give you 24 hours. Your Honor! I'm
sending the jury home. You have one

shot.

Mr. Baylor.

One.

Thank you, Ron.

Detective!

I need to talk to her.

I got my suitcase, got my car, and I got
my place. And I had a home, but it was

never mine.

I went through the motions all night of
time. And I burned down, burned it all

down. I told him, five minutes.

He'll be here, Your Honor.

And who are you?

Jack Shiflett, power lawyer.

Power lawyer?

Yes, no, it's power law. It is like
paralegal, except I went to law school.

I just didn't pass the bar.

I honestly think I'm not a wonderful
test taker.

Truth is, he's here, Your Honor.

Rudy Baylor.

Mr. Baylor, I trust you have the new
evidence to support your amended

Yes, Your Honor.

We'd like to call Jackie LeMangic to the
stand.

Leo, what the hell?

Your Honor, we object to the surprised
witness and move to exclude her

testimony. Your Honor, Ms. Pomanchik has
been in protective custody because

Melvin Pritchard, the nurse that we
believe killed Donnie Ray Black,

her and is still at large.

Objection prejudicial.

There's no jury here, Mr. Drummond.

I'll question the witness myself.

Ms. Lomanchik, the plaintiff alleges
that the executives of Great Benefit

conspired to cover up and conceal a
murder.

Do you have evidence to support that
claim?

I don't have evidence of a murder.

I have evidence of 15 murders.

And what is this evidence?

I have the Narpen's data, you son of a
bitch.

Objection, Your Honor. Those files are
the property of my client.

Hang on.

What is a Narpense?

The Narpense machine dispenses
narcotics.

Donny Ray was one of 15 mysterious
overdoses at North City, who all had one

thing in common.

Melvin Pritchard was the ER nurse.

On each occasion, he had ordered
unauthorized morphine from the machine

immediately canceled the transaction.

What do you mean he canceled?

Well, if you cancel it, the drawer
closes after three seconds.

That's enough time to remove the
medication.

Objection. Speculation. That's your
evidence. A nurse canceled some morphing

orders? Your Honor, two or three times.
It was a coincidence, but 15?

How did you get these files?

Well, after I was fired, I went back to
the hospital while my ID was still

active, and I downloaded them.

Your Honor, this witness, by her own
testimony, has committed theft of

property and violated HIPAA no less than
15 times.

Evidence illegally obtained is
inadmissible.

Okay. I've heard enough, thank you, Miss
Lomanchik.

Wait, wait, that's it?

Your Honor, I'm entitled to a ruling on
my objection.

Yes, you are.

Objection sustained.

What on what?

But the motion to dismiss is denied.

Your Honor.

I'll allow the trial to proceed on both
the plaintiff's claims. However, I have

no choice but to exclude both the USB
drive and any testimony regarding its

data. Your Honor.

That's our whole case.

Law School 101, Mr. Baylor, if you steal
it or conceal it, you don't get to

reveal it. Not in my court.

And I request that the defendant produce
all data stored on the North City

Hospital and our medication dispensers
from January 2013 through the present.

Unfortunately, Your Honor, I'm told that
that data is erased every 90 days per

company policy.

Okay. After lunch, we'll hear
defendant's opening statement.

Court is adjourned.

How can you work for these people?

It's a trial, Rudy. Try not to take it
all so personally.

Back for that bourbon?

No, he came to give you something.

Really? Lucky me.

What do you got?

Immunity.

mistakes it's our job to love them even

more we hope and pray that they'll

navigate life's problems and not succumb
to its temptations, and ultimately that

they'll make good decisions.

But sometimes they don't.

And sometimes those decisions result in
the unimaginable.

Like his talented attorney, Donny Ray
Black was a young man with a bright

future.

Sadly, however, his story is a tragedy.

Mr. Baylor's story, I suspect, over a
long and prosperous career will be a

triumphant one.

But not here.

And not today.

The desire to find a villain when
tragedy strikes is a natural part of the

grieving process.

However,

a courtroom is no place for grief.

In here, we deal only with the facts.

Not the emotions.

Not coincidences.

There are no villains here.

There's only a mother who loved her son.

And the heroic doctors and nurses who
tried to save him.

Thank you.

That man, he didn't just kill my boy. He
killed 14 others.

He's saying a jury's just never going to
hear about that.

Let's focus on you and your testimony
for now.

Dot, you asked for the secret, right?

It's in the drinks tray.

Ooh, blammo.

If he killed 15 people, that's 15
families who've lost someone. Dot,

the stand next week.

I'm going to wash my hands.

Are you thinking what I'm thinking?

Unlikely.

We should sign him up.

You want more clients?

In case you haven't noticed, this isn't
exactly going well.

It's called the Eisenhower principle.

Eisenhower? When you have a problem you
can't solve, you make it bigger.

If they won't let Jackie talk about that
evidence, will the jury ever know about

the other families?

Rudy, you okay?

We need to sign the other families.

FYI, that was my idea.

If they become our client, then we get
access to all of those patient files.

Make it bigger. Dec, you are a power
lawyer.

Guess we've got to look for their names.

Does someone want to explain this?

If we sue on behalf of all the other
families, then we can establish a

They offered you a deal.

Of course they offered a deal.

Then we have nothing to talk about.

You think I'm wearing a wire?

Really?

I'm your daughter, asshole.

For that reason alone, it's better that
you don't know anything.

I would have loved some of that fatherly
protection the night you dragged me

into all this.

What do you want from me?

She had a daughter, Dad.

Does that not mean anything to you?

What do you think happened, Jocelyn?

I think you and Prince were supposed to
get her out of the country and things

went sideways.

Or Leo changed the plan.

Did you do it, Pop?

I've done a lot of things, but I didn't
kill that woman.

I shouldn't have to tell you that.

All right, yes, Mrs. Clancy?

My name is Rudy Baylor. Mr. Alvarez, my
name is Dex Shiflim, a legal associate

for J. Lyman Stone. We believe your
husband... Your daughter may be a victim

a pattern. A pattern of negligence. and
even malfeasance that the hospital

knowingly and willfully covered up. Who
told you you can't talk about it?

When did you get this offer? Three weeks
ago.

No, you know what? Let me guess. Was it
three weeks ago? Mr. Roberts, listen, I

appreciate your time, but do you happen
to remember the name of the lawyer that

came to see you?

No, the settlement prevents you from
taking part in our lawsuit.

Sorry to have bothered you.

Same story.

Lawyer from Tinley Bridge shows up,
check in hand, all for the low, low

keeping their mouths shut. What?

The last guy gave me the name of the
lawyer that came to see him.

And?

It was Sarah.

Tinley Britt is the largest law firm in
the state. We're representing North City

in a lawsuit right now. It's a pretty
run -of -the -mill case.

Hospitals get sued all the time. You
know how it is.

And I'm just a first -year associate, so
I mostly do witness research. But after

I learned what happened to you, I
couldn't help but...

I wonder if you would be interested in
exploring your legal options.

I mean, let's face it, Amber.

You're only here because of Jackie.

Hey, what up, everyone?

Today is probably my most important post
ever.

One year ago today, I woke my ass up.

I thought I had my tolerance unlocked,
but the dope caught up to me.

And I finally got clean.

And this year has been the hardest and
the most rewarding journey of my life.

It's black.

When did Donnie Wright post this video?

Three days before he went to the
hospital.

I am so proud of him.

I am so proud of him.

Permission to approach, Your Honor.

I'm handing you Plaintiff's Exhibit 3,
the report you received from the

hospital.

Yes, that's the letter.

Please read the highlighted portion.

Cause of death, influenza.

Complicated by six men.

And did the report explain what six men
is?

It says it's heroin.

But the Google thing says it could also
mean morphine.

Do you believe that your son died due to
a heroin overdose?

Objection. Your Honor, I'm not asking
for an expert opinion.

It's one from a mother who knows her
son.

Witness may testify to what she
observed.

My son hadn't put that crap in his home
for a year and three days.

So how could he die from heroin?

Thank you.

No more questions.

Hey. Well done.

This is Black.

I would first...

I'd like to offer my serious
condolences.

I bet you would.

Please, stick to answering the
questions, Mrs. Black. Then he should

asking them.

Fair enough.

Mrs. Black, in his long struggle with
heroin addiction, how many times did

son tell you that he was clean only to
find out later that he wasn't?

Five.

And you just testified.

that your son was clean for a year
before he died.

How did you know that?

Isn't it true that you only know because
he told you?

Yes, but I don't know. Nothing further.

Hey. Hi.

Brought you a couple suits.

You didn't need to buy me a couple
suits. Oh, I didn't buy them.

Guy owed me a favor.

Thought you'd stop by the courtroom
sometime.

Oh, well.

Didn't want to rattle you.

Couldn't be much worse.

I heard.

You know, this case...

has always been a fish pretending to be
a whale.

The only thing is, I have it.

Norpen's fault. They prove everything,
but I can't use them. I already tried to

get them another way.

Sheena raises itself every 90 days.

So do you.

Leo?

Come on, Rudy.

I taught you better than that. He can't
lie in court, Bruiser. Why not?

Put Jackie back on the stand.

Judge already said... Is there a better
expert on this machine than a nurse who

uses it every day?

Rudy, you've been trying to prove a
cover -up that's already happened.

Show the jury that it's still happening.

Leo, that Brad twit, that girlfriend of
yours, they're all part of

it. The judge could hold me in contempt.

Throw me in jail?

So what?

I've been in jail before.

We survived.

You know what your problem is?

You still think you're one of them.

You're one of us, babe.

Financials, job history, social media.

I need any and all complaints from
patients, whether she treated them

or not.

Where's my Donny Ray team?

I need the AV prep for Leo in one hour.
Now we're down to your top five clips.

Team's working hard. I'll have something
to you within an hour.

What are you two conspiring about?

Sarah has some thoughts about Jackie
Lomanchik.

Is that so?

Nuts and sluts.

She's either crazy so she's imagining
things, or she's a slut and can't be

trusted.

Nuts and sluts is a defense for sexual
harassment, not bedmail. We need to

discredit her.

Leo, you've already neutralized
LeManshik.

You go in after her like this, it could
turn the jury against you.

I'm not going after her.

She is.

You're not serious.

Sarah will handle the cross woman to
woman.

Better get to it.

She's a junior associate.

I'm on partner track. That's correct,
because you are a team player, and I

something more important for you to do.

You're too scared to show his face.

He's busy.

It's all there.

So this is goodbye, then.

We're about to hug.

Mr. Mansha, can you tell us what a
NarPens is?

Objection. Mr. Baylor, I am not amused.
Your Honor, I'm presenting Mr. Mansha as

an expert witness on the NarPens
machine. She's a nurse, not a

702, Your Honor. She used the machine
for over 10 years and instructs new

in its use.

I'll designate her an expert on the
operation of the machine only. Mr.

have you ever had to access the NarPens
data lock?

Many times. Your Honor.

Mr. Baylor, I would be very careful if I
were you.

How long does the machine keep its data
before it erases it? It never erases it.

Enter into evidence, as plaintiff's
exhibit 5, a letter emailed to me this

morning from the Narpen's Corporation.

Will you please read the highlighted
portion?

The Narpen's system cannot delete its
data without entering the master code,

which is only held by select senior
executives at the hospital.

Counsel, approach.

Get ready, you're up soon.

There we go.

Mr. Trott.

It sounds to me like your client has
hidden evidence in this case. And worse,

knowingly and willfully destroyed it.

I was told the data was erased.

We have a copy, Your Honor. That
evidence has been excluded.

That was before your client started
playing games with this court.

Present your evidence, Mr. Baylor.

Ms. Lemanchik, tell us what happened the
night Donny Ray died.

When he coded, I ran down the hall.

And that's when I saw Melvin Pritchard
leaving the room.

It struck me as odd for two reasons.

One... He's an ER nurse. He didn't
belong there. And so?

Well, when a patient codes, it means
he's decompensating. So heart attack,

stroke, a catastrophic situation.

We're nurses.

We don't walk out when that happens. We
run in.

And why was Donny Ray decompensating?
Well, that's the thing. He shouldn't

been. We were treating him, and he was
stable.

He just had a bad flu.

Objection calls for speculation.

He's a nurse. She's not speculating.
She's diagnosed.

I'll allow it.

It was deemed a drug overdose, which
didn't make sense.

So I did some digging, and I found 14
other cases of a patient ODing when

chart said they'd been stabilized.

Melvin Pritchard was the common
denominator in every case.

What happened then?

I took my suspicions to the peer review
committee, but they deemed it a

coincidence, so I went to Bernie
Manfred, the VP of quality assurance.

He must have been grateful that you
brought this information to him. He

me.

On the screen is a summary of the data
that you took from the Narpen's

What are we looking at?

It's a list of 15 orders of morphine
placed by Melvin Pritchard.

Each on the day a patient died of an
overdose.

And why is there a cancellation after
each one?

That means you've decided not to
withdraw the drug.

But when you cancel, you have three
seconds until the drawer closes.

Is that enough time to remove the
medication?

Yes.

When was the last time you saw him?

When he tied me up in a storage unit.

Melvin kidnapped me to try and get his
hands on that list.

No further questions, Your Honor.

Sarah Plankmore for the defendant, Your
Honor.

Ms. Lomancek, weren't you in fact fired
for stealing data and violating patient

confidentiality? That's what they said.
And your suspicions were dismissed by

both a committee of doctors and a
hospital vice president overseeing

care. Doesn't that tell us that these
accusations are devoid of merit? No.

What it tells us is that they were
trying to hide what happened.

You have a history of making wild
accusations, don't you? Why did Charlie

break up with you? It's actually
relevant.

Your Honor, it goes to the witness's
credibility and moral character.

Overruled.

Isn't it true that Charlie broke up with
you because you repeatedly accused him

of cheating?

There were other reasons. Did you ever
catch him in the act, find any lurid

texts, any photos?

Breakups are hard, aren't they?

So much so that you were stalking him.

You talked to Amber.

And I spoke to the Charleston police.

I have here three complaints by Charlie
and his new wife that you were stalking

and harassing him both in person and
through repeated texts and calls.

Now, Amber made that complaint, okay?
Not Charlie. Never Charlie.

Wasn't it you who cheated first?

We were taking a break at the time. Did
your rage about your personal life

impede your judgment at work? No. You
called in sick for a week after that

break, right? No, I take my work very
seriously. Oh, I'm sure you do. Where

you get your nursing degree?

Charleston Southern University.

And they let you graduate even though
you cheated on a final.

That was a mistake.

When you were caught, you lied about it
and only came clean when a classmate

confessed to the plan.

We had pulled two all -nighters in a row
at the hospital. We hadn't slept in

days.

We just decided to help each other out.

It was a mistake. I never did anything
like that again. Except for when you

cheated on Charlie. Miss Lomantic, it
seems you have a problem with honesty.

Objection argumentative. Withdrawn. I'm
done.

Going away, are we?

We do what we gotta do.

I guess that means he's going too.

You say bye to Rudy?

Then why would I do that?

Oh, come on. Don't bullshit me.

You made me hire him, remember?

You gave him shifts when he was short on
cash.

You even gave him a gun when he needed
one.

Is that what he told you?

He didn't have to.

What are you doing here, Bruce?

That kid.

cares about you.

And he is fighting for his life in that
courtroom and he's going to lose.

And why?

Because when Leo called, you slithered
back on your belly.

If you had just turned Melvin in, Rudy
could have won this thing by now. And

trust me, those assholes need a beating.

I hope you and Lyman have a nice life
together.

I haven't seen an associate destroy a
witness like that since I did it myself

years ago. Well, thank you for trusting
me, Leo. Well, get prepared for a lot

more. I'm promoting you to second chair.

Are you serious?

Leo, she's never worked a trial. She
hasn't been no basic procedure.

But she doesn't know I'll teach her.
What she did today, you can't teach.

Meet me for breakfast tomorrow. Emily
will give you the detail. I'll be there.

Thank you for that. Does this mean I'm
off the case? You can sit third or pivot

to Greenwald. It's up to you.

Why are you doing this?

I'm not doing anything.

I didn't do it for you in the beginning.
There's nothing different.

Yes, it is.

You don't want to sideline me like this.

I don't. I know where the bodies are
buried, remember?

What bodies? Jane and Ethan, Pritchard,
Lomanchik.

Everything you've done to win this case.
Everything I've done.

But you hired Jane.

You told her what to do. You paid her.
Yeah, on your orders.

I don't remember any of that.

You paid Prince and Lyman to leave the
country.

Did you already forget that, too?

Thank you, Miss Heller.

What the hell is she doing here?

I didn't pay Prince and Lyman.

That was you.

Remember?

You son of a bitch.

I'll take that as a no unfitting third.

Relax, Brad. You're still useful.

As a backup singer.

But that girl's a star.

You deserve a better lawyer.

I think so, huh?

You know what I've seen in here?

I've seen someone telling the truth.

Truth is not your client, Leo F.
Drummond.

You're not him, thank heaven.

You should invite your mom down here.

Let her see a boy do his thing.

Win or lose, she'll be so proud.

After we picked her up from your place,
we took turns driving to the Canadian

border.

Rosalie was scared.

She'd been having second thoughts the
whole way up there.

We should have told her up front there'd
be a handoff. We spoke to her.

Hey, kid, it's me.

Listen, I need you to come down to the
