I will have dinner with you if you'd still like to do that.

And by dinner, I mean I will consider being in

a monogamous relationship with you. Previously on "Rebel"...

Okay. Okay, then.

Do you know if there is a characteristic

in the Stonemore valve that causes people to be sick?

Yes.

My dad had a kid with a woman named Allison.

I want to get high, except I don't actually want to get high,

so I came here.

Can I sleep over?

You were mad when I brought home Ziggy,

so you went and had a baby with someone else?

Get off the boat. I'm leaving.

Aah!

Reporter #4: As Stonemore Medical Corporation

goes to trial today

defending their groundbreaking mechanical heart valve,

consumer advocate Annie Flynn Ray Bello,

who is the face of the case against them...Excuse me. Excuse me.

...faces charges of drunk and disorderly conduct...

Rebel: Oh! I can't stand you, Grady!...amidst swirling rumors

of a troubled marriage...Oh, God!

...and increasingly erratic behavior.

Well, I think they were both drunk.

For sure, they were both loud and messy.

I'm just grateful the world is finally seeing this woman

for what she is.Reporter: Which is what?

She's a grifter.

She's got no education, no expertise.

She's basically a con artist

who uses the legal system to run her cons.

I'm honestly looking forward to our day in court.

Rebel: Turn it off!

[ Television clicks off ]

Oh, my God.

I'm really sorry, babe.

No. You don't talk.

You have to be here, but you don't get to talk.

[ Sighs ] This is why Benji didn't settle.

Because now he has the jury prejudiced against our case

because my name is attached to it

and my reputation is trash.

It's trash this week. But the news cycle will change and --

The trial is this week.

Where do you think you're going?

I'm going for a walk.

No!No!

Grady, sit down!

You're not the boss of me, Lana.

Grady!

I swear to God,

if you ever loved me, you will sit back down.

It is trial day, and there are reporters in the yard.

We cannot afford to feed this story in any way.

Ugh!

[ Indistinct conversations ]

[ Camera shutters clicking ]Woman: Hey.Ziggy: Damn it.

You're Ziggy Bello, right?Man: Actually, I think we're going live here.

Ziggy: Park over there.

Woman #2: Ziggy, is there anything you want to say to --

[ Indistinct shouting ]

[ Indistinct conversations ]

Man #2: We're up... We're up front.

Ziggy, is your mother an alcoholic?

Can you confirm if your mother has been sent to rehab?

Man #3: Is your mother abusive or just neglectful?

My mother is not the problem.

My father is a lying, cheating asshat who never wanted me!

That's the problem! Report on that.

-Ziggy! -Ziggy!

[ Reporters clamoring ]

Why hasn't he called, mm?

Why am I getting ready for court? Any thoughts on that?

Mm?[ Cellphone chimes ]

You calling me?

Reporter: The teenage daughter of Annie Flynn Ray Bello

has confirmed rumors that Bello's marital distress

may be the cause of her latest public meltdown.

My father is a lying, cheating asshat who never wanted me!

That's the problem! Report on that.

[ Horn honks in distance ]

I guess this may be why.

Mornin', Zig.

Uh, can we go get a cup of coffee?

Coffee machine in there is broken.

Uh, there's some coffee in the house.

I'd like to go to a coffee shop.That's a bad idea.

Okay, you can't keep me locked up

like I'm some kind of prisoner.

Well, that's not what I'm doing. I'm protecting you.

Because you were scared to go home.

Really? Because it seems like

you're a cop telling me I can't go to a coffee shop.

I'm just here to keep you safe and get you to court on time.

Unless you want a bunch of cameras in your face,

I suggest you get some coffee in the house.

You did this. You did this to our lives.

It's almost over.

I will go and get the coffee.

[ Door slams ]

Lana: Seriously, Zig, that was not cool.

They ambushed me! I had nowhere to go!

You gave them an exclusive, and now it has gone viral.

We told you not to comment!

I didn't comment!They told us not to pass!

Grady: Of course I wanted you, Ziggy!

How could you even think that?

That is called gaslighting, Dad.

Lana: Alright, everybody just needs to calm down!

Yeah, you tell her to calm down!

Rebel: You do not talk to me that way!

Oh, my God!You do not tell me to calm down!

Who are you talking to?!Oh, whatever!

[ All shouting indistinctly ]What is wrong with you?!

My father is a lying, cheating asshat...

Hey, um, which shoe? ...who never wanted me! That's --

What was that?

Oh, Ziggy just made a statement,

started a whole new news cycle.

Really? What did she say?

You know, you could sound a little less giddy.

Our sister's in pain.

You're right. It's just...

Mom always makes the press work for her,

and now she's not. So, yeah, I am a little giddy.

Even though I feel for Ziggy and want to kill Grady

and it's all very confusing. But which shoe?

Uh, the pink one says, "I'm down to party."

The black one says, "My client's innocent."

But my girlfriend says your client's guilty as sin,

so I'd go with the pink one.

Girlfriend?

Ooh. [ Laughs ]

I don't think I've heard you use that word since --

Becky in 11th grade.

Becky in the 11th grade! Yeah.

She was so cool.

She was so cool. Way too cool for me.

Just like Misha.

Misha's not too cool for you.

Too cold for you, maybe.

Too, uh, self-satisfied?

I think I love her.

What?

I mean, I-I c-- I could love her.

You know, if I let myself, I-I --

I could love her.

Uh, do I tell her?

[ Chuckling ] No. I mean, you ghosted her the last time.

I know, which is brutal,

'cause her last boyfriend lied to her for like two years.

Really?He was her mentor,

and she trusted him when he said he was separated,

that he was getting divorced,

that he needed more time because he had kids.

And it turns out, he's just married.

Damn. Yeah.

So she's got trust issues,

I've got intimacy issues, and it's like...

[ Inhales sharply ] I don't know what the play is.

Do I tell her how I feel? Try to lock it in?

No. Definitely not that.

Slow and steady wins the race. Just keep showing up,

being the amazing human being that you are and she'll warm up.

Okay. Okay.

Thank you. Yeah.

And by the way,

I kind of hate both shoes.Mm, too late.

Good luck at trial. And by good luck, I mean I hope you lose,

but I hope you impress everyone you're trying to impress.[ Door opens ]

Thanks, big brother.

[ Door closes ][ Elevator bell dings ]

Come on. Let's do this.

I just don't understand why they haven't settled.

The chemist is a smoking gun.

Do you have a theory? Ihave a theory.

Yeah.

[ Cellphone ringing ]

It's her. Give me a second.

Yeah.Rebel: Let me talk to them.

Not a good time.

Let me talk to them.

Let her talk to us.

She got us here. People make mistakes.

Pretty big mistake.

Hi, everybody.

I wanted to say good luck.

I wanted to tell you, you got this.

Your case is righteous,

and you're gonna save thousands of lives all over the world.

And I'm sorry... I'm sorry about that mugshot.

It -- It isn't what it looks like.

You look like a drunk drowned rat.

I wasn't drunk, Jason.

But that doesn't matter now.

What matters now is the case.

It is bigger than me or any photograph of me.

Helen, you did this.

You organized. You fought.

Now go in there and win.

Thank you.

And you look great, Helen.

Oh, well, thanks to you, I feel great.

Come on.

She looks too good.

I don't think I can put her on the stand.

Tell her to take some of that lipstick off.

And, Cruz, listen to me --

You got this. You got the chemist.

And Benji's trying to hang this whole thing

on the press surrounding me?

This never had anything to do with me.

So he is a fool. You're not.[ Elevator bell dings ]

And you've got this.

Hey! Trial day.

Better than Christmas, am I right?

And that mugshot,

that was the star on the top of the tree.

Bailiff: All rise. Department 1 of the Superior Court

of the State of California for the County of Los Angeles

is now in session.

The Honorable Katerina Bobiak, judge presiding.

Please be seated.

Gentlemen, I'll admit

I'm surprised to find myself here today.

I fully expected news of a settlement.

You and I both, Your Honor.

My client prefers to take his chances with a jury, Your Honor.

In that case, let's proceed.

Bailiff, please show the jury in.

Hey. You want to hit a meeting?

No, I really very much do not.

[ Knock on door ]

Hey, Zig. Time to go to court.

You're going to court?

No, I can't. I'm a distraction.

But you can, and you should.

Mom, your mugshots are literally everywhere.

Do you get how embarrassing that is for me?

You should see the memes!

I'm a meme?No, you're not a meme.

You're like a hundred memes.

"When a really good Friday night

turns into a really bad Saturday."

Oh, "When you have one too many

and you make your bed in a dumpster."

"That day your hair dryer goes on the fritz."

And, "Mama's got a brand new warrant."

[ Chuckling ] That's my favorite one.

Mom, there's just no way that Cruz is gonna win today.

And I can't stand going to watch him lose this case

because Dad didn't want me.

Oh, Ziggy.

Your dad loves you.

It was a complicated time.

And I'm mad at him, too, clearly.

But you have earned the right to go to court

and watch Cruz win --

which he will, because my mugshot means nothing.

And because we have the chemist

and he has admitted to everything.

So, you deserve to go to court and watch Cruz win.

Also, I need someone to go and text me updates

because I'm gonna go crazy not knowing.

Do you want to hit a meeting? Yeah.

Well -- [ Sighs ]

I guess it goes without saying but --

I won't talk to the press.

Thank you!

[ Birds chirping ]

[ Exhales slowly ][ Door slides shut ]

[ Cellphone clicks ]

[ Cellphone ringing ]

[ Grunting ]

[ Ringing continues ]

[ Beep ]

[ Breathing heavily ] Hey. You okay?

Define okay.

Neither homicidal or suicidal at the present moment.

Well, I can't lie -- I do have some fantasies

about running Grady over with my car.

Yeah, me, too. But I have no plans to do it,

so I guess by your definition, yes, I'm okay.

Are you in court?No. For some crazy reason,

Cruz wants a heart doctor on the stand instead of an OB-GYN.

And you're not interested? Of course I'm interested.

But, you know, Misha's nervous,

and I don't want to make her any more nervous.

Hey, is there any chance that out of love for your mother,

who pushed your giant head into the world

and suffered a vaginal tear that required nine stitches...

Ugh!...you might consider

going to court and texting me updates?

Because I get it -- Misha is nervous,

but I am on the verge of a nervous breakdown.

A simple "please" would've sufficed

without a reference to your vaginal tear.

Alright. Whatever works.

[ Siren wailing, horn honks in distance ]

We should be able to trust our doctors.

But in order to trust our doctors,

we need to be able to trust

the companies that provide our doctors

with the tools they use to heal us.

But you look at the faces in this courtroom...

[ Woman clears throat lightly ]

...you see people that have been gravely injured

by the very people they trusted to heal them.

And that's why this case matters.

Because what you decide in this case

could have a very real impact -- not just on these people,

but on how medical device companies

do business in the future.

Stonemore Medical Corporation

did not take the time or spend the money

to test their heart valve on human beings

before they put it on the market,

and that decision gravely injured people.

And when they learned that their product was injuring people,

they did nothing about it.

And that's what I'll prove to you.

They poisoned people, they knew they were doing it,

and they refused to stop.

And that should not only anger you, it should terrify you.

Because whether you personally will ever need a heart valve,

you will need a doctor.

And you should be able to trust that doctor.

Thank you.

Mr. Ray.

Ladies and gentlemen of the jury,

I put on a blue suit this morning,

and the sun rose this morning.

Both of those things are facts.

But it would be an absurdity for me to believe

that because I put on my blue suit, I caused the sun to rise.

Just because two things are true doesn't mean they're connected.

These folks that Mr. Cruz is representing are sick.

That's a fact.

And they all have Stonemore heart valves --

that's also a fact.

But just because two things are true

doesn't mean they're connected.

It is up to the plaintiffs and Mr. Cruz to prove

that the heart valve caused their illness

and Stonemore knew it did and ignored it.

So, I'm asking you to listen carefully for that proof.

Don't be swayed by emotional stories.

Look past the coincidence and innuendo

and look for the hard evidence

that links the heart valve with the plaintiffs' illness.

You won't find it.

Thank you.

[ Elevator bell dings ]

[ Indistinct conversations ]

Misha: [ Exhales deeply ]

Hey. You okay?

Yeah, I'm just, uh, shaking out my arms.

I can see that. Why?

Anxious energy. It needs out, and this helps get it out.

I mean, I know it looks a little crazy, but what's crazier --

I mean, shaking out your arms and looking a little weird

or shoving it down and giving yourself a panic attack

because you don't want to look weird?

[ Shuddering ] Yeah.

Feels good, right?Yeah, kind of does.

[ Laughs ]

Ugh, I know too much.

Huh? About FDA loopholes.

I stayed up all night reading about FDA loopholes.

I pray to God I never need a new hip.

A hip? The key is

to find the oldest model.

If you ever need a-a hip replacement or a knee

or, God forbid, a heart valve --

just basically any foreign object

that someone like me wants to sew into your body,

make sure you get the oldest model you can find,

because that one was actually tested on human beings.

The new ones have all been grandfathered in

because of that freakin' FDA loophole

that was sold to the medical device industry

by those crooked politicians.

[ Sighing ] What?

What what?

Why are you looking at me like that?

I don't know. Just 'cause...

love.

What?

Or -- you know, I-I could almost just...

Never mind. Wow. Okay.

Y-You mind if I go in and watch? My mom asked me

if I'd live-tweet the whole thing via text.

You're a good son.

Yeah. [ Chuckles ]

Me, too.

Huh?

I "could just wow almost never mind," too.

I hope you sound smarter than that on the stand.

You were on the verge of death.

I was. And my doctor will testify to that later today.

And now, since you removed the valve?

I haven't had energy like this in years.

You're healthy. You're strong.

Healthy. I'm not so sure about strong just yet,

because I'm grieving my granddaughter,

who died at only two days old because of Stonemore.

Objection, lacks foundation.

Sustained. Strike that last sentence from the record.

Helen, physically, you feel better?

Um, physically, I feel whole.

Emotionally, I never will be.

Nothing further. Thank you, Helen.

Yes.

Mr. Ray, your witness.

Ms. Peterson, do you have a history of hypochondria

or psychosomatic illness in your family?

I-I don't know what --

Let me help you out.

What was that name again, Mr. Chapman?

Wilhelmina Harper.

Right.

My memory is not what it was

before I got the Stonemore valve.

Wilhelmina Harper was my father's mother,

and she was briefly institutionalized

during the polio era.

She had hysterical polio.

So she didn't test positive for polio,

but she managed to manifest all of the symptoms of polio?

That's right. Wow.

The brain is a powerful thing, isn't it?

It can manifest real symptoms based on a hard and fast belief.

Do you think it's possible it can do the opposite?

Relieve physical symptoms based on hard and fast belief?

I don't know.Like if you believed

a heart valve was making you sick

and then you had it removed?

Objection, Your Honor. Calls for speculation.

Judge Bobiak: Sustained.

Was your grandmother ever released from the institution?

She was.How did they treat her?

I don't know.

Didn't they give her a placebo shot

and tell her it was a vaccine that reversed symptoms of polio?

My grandmother was also an alcoholic

who beat her husband and her children with a broom.

I am nothing like her,

and her experience does not inform mine.

But genetics. I mean...

It's hard to know which ones you got, isn't it?

Objection, Your Honor. He is badgering my witness.

Judge Bobiak: Sustained.Just one last question.

How did you meet Annie Flynn Ray Bello,

the advocate who introduced you to Mr. Cruz?

Objection, relevance.

I withdraw the question, Your Honor.

Nothing further for this witness.

Cruz: Professor, how did you feel

during the time that you had the Stonemore valve in your body?

I suffered immensely. Intensely.

Profoundly. Just, every other adverb you can think of.

And some adjectives, too.

And how was your life affected by your illness?

For starters, my boyfriend left me.

It wasn't a perfect relationship.

Uh, he wasn't all that bright,

and he would tell you I'm not all that kind, but...

A-Anyway, uh, once I started to get sick,

I became truly miserable, and he left.

But eventually, you had the valve removed?

Yes, I did. Uh, because

my sister-in-law works for the insurance company,

and so she pulled some strings. [ Chuckles ]

She gives the world's worst birthday presents,

so she made up for it

by falsifying some documents for me.

Except my personality. [ Chuckles ]

Is this thing on?

Sorry. Yeah.

Thank you, Professor.

No further questions, Your Honor.

Professor Erickson, were you recently accused

I'm so close to fixing this.

I'm so close.Karsten, listen to me.

I know you feel responsible for all these people suffering

I -- [ Sighs ]

So, the valve was corroded?[ Door opens ]

Yes. And those valves are not supposed to corrode.

Not so much?Not at all.

Not at all.

So, your theory is?

Our study found that patients with the Stonemore valve

had elevated nickel levels,

compared to those without the valve.

So, the theory is that

the corroded valve leaks nickel into the bloodstream,

and nickel causes autoimmunity,

and that's what caused Helen's liver to stop functioning.

Objection, speculative.Sustained.

Well, of course it's speculative.

I can only speculate, because before I could study it,

Stonemore stole it.Objection.

Sustained.Or they had it stolen.

Objection! Lacks foundation.Sustained.

Oh, okay. So, I guess the valve just randomly disappeared

out of the lab from which nothing ever disappears?

Objection, Your Honor!Dr. Nelson, I'll caution you

to please avoid sarcasm, as tempting as it can sometimes be.

Okay, then. Um...

How about this?

I'm a scientist.

As a scientist, it is my job

to posit theories and then try to prove it.

If this was a thesis,

the theory that I would set about trying to prove --

the most likely theory, all things considered --

is that someone working for Stonemore,

possibly one of their lawyers, stole the damning valve.

Objection!

Sustained.

Dr. Nelson, in your medical opinion,

is the Stonemore valve causing harm?

In my medical opinion, in certain patients,

the Stonemore valve is causing more than harm.

It's causing death.

No further questions, Your Honor.

[ Siren wailing in distance ]

[ Whispering indistinctly ]

Mr. Ray?

What? No.

This one's got to come from you.

[ Clears throat ]

Dr. Nelson, we can all see that you are a rule breaker,

as evidenced by your performance here today.

Ms. Ray, ask a question.

Dr. Nelson, are you in the habit of lying,

exaggerating, deceiving?

I am not.

Huh. Did you spend two years

in an adulterous relationship with a married colleague?

Cruz: Objection, relevance!

I'll rephrase.

While you were in that relationship

with your married mentor,

did you co-author any studies with him?

Objection, relevance.

It goes to the witness's character, Your Honor.

She's speculating and theorizing.

Therefore, her character, her trustworthiness,

whether or not she sleeps her way to the top, isrelevant.

She was in a romantic relationship

with a married mentor.

Who knows what kind of leg up he gave her?

Who knows if her medical opinion can be trusted?

She's currently in a relationship

with her co-author on the Stonemore study,

and I think that establishes a pattern that is relevant.

I disagree, Counselor.

Not only is it irrelevant,

I find this line of questioning repugnant.

Mr. Cruz, your objection is sustained,

and the jury should not consider the unconfirmed information

implied by the defense's line of questioning.

You said that you were inspired to develop this valve

because of your own brother's heart issues.

My brother's, my father, and two of my uncles.

I'd like to focus on your brother for the moment.

After developing this mechanical heart valve

out of a desire to help your brother,

why did you then tell him not to get the Stonemore valve?

Objection, lacks foundation.

My apologies, Your Honor. I'll rephrase.

Mr. Duncan, does your brother, Jacob Duncan,

currently have the Stonemore mechanical valve?

No.

Can you explain to us why not?

My brother Jake suffers from,

uh, a condition called hyperacusis.

It means he's hypersensitive

to ordinary sounds that most of us wouldn't notice.

All mechanical heart valves make a gentle oscillating sound.

Uh, most people adjust.

Uh, as with our heartbeat or our pulse, the brain adjusts,

and eventually you don't hear it anymore.

But we were concerned that Jake, who could fly into a rage

at the sound of somebody chewing popcorn in a movie theater

20 seats away, would not adjust.

So, while the Stonemore valve was developed with him in mind,

uh, we ultimately decided

that he should stick with a porcine valve

because it is silent.

I'd like to remind you that you're under oath.

Okay?

Is there any other reason, any reason at all,

that your brother opted for the porcine valve?

No.
