Previously on "The Rainmaker"...

That girl in there has a husband.

A husband who beats her?

What are you doing here?

You k*lled that man.

He was a drug addict.

You're gonna file
a motion to compel discovery

on this Tissue Committee.

See if Melvin's name pops up.

Your Honour, we have an eyewitness

who saw a nurse putting something

into Donny Ray Black's IV bag.

Mr. Baylor's naivete has
wasted the court's time.

Your motion to compel is denied.

So Wilfred Keeley has
invited us to dinner.

- Where are we meeting him?
- London.

It's been nice knowing you, Rudy.

Are you firing me?

Go.

Hello, Adeline.

Adeline, this is our new associate,

- Hi.

Pleasure to meet you.

I'll see that your bags are
sent up immediately.

Oh, uh, I... I don't have a bag,

so I'll have to do a bit of shopping.

[chuckles] I don't believe
you will, Ms. Plankmore.

It's all been sorted.

This is the Victoria Room.

Mr. Noonan approximated
your sizes, but to be sure,

we procured at least two of each item.

So do let me know if there's anything

you'd like to exchange.

I would say my best qualities
are intelligence,

ambition, and style.

I'm sorry, did you say "style"?

As an attorney, I think it's important
how you present yourself.

Mm.

Hmm.

I was pretty involved in that
big suit against Chevron.

Oh, you worked on the case?

Not the case, per se.

I was more on
the passion side of things.

I wrote the petition.

Lot of signatures.

My secret goal is to be a congresswoman.

Daddy said I should have
some law work on the rés'.

Law work?

It was either that or the military.

And who wants to do that, am I right?

God.

You miss him yet?

Bite me.

You see how many people are
on this deposition list?

It's the cast of "Ben-Hur."

You know, you once said
you don't throw people out.

That was a lie.

When did I say that?

The first time I screwed up.

He went to the police.

- Was that really so wrong?
- Yes!

Bruiser, there is a k*ller on the loose.

We are the only ones that know it.

That doesn't weigh on you at all?

Hmm?

'Cause it weighs on me.

I can see that.

Of course it weighs on me.

But I told him not to do anything

until we had more than a theory.

His theory is right.

And what's crazy is, you agree with him.

- Says who?
- You.

Melvin Pritcher k*lled Donny Ray,

and he did it deliberately.

- When did I say that?
- Oh, my God.

You have the worst memory
when you're wrong.

You said it to Leo
when you demanded $80 million.

Now, did you believe it then?

- Sure.
- No, don't give me "sure."

OK, what's wrong with "sure"?

Oh, baby, the sex was
incredible last night.

Was it good for you? Sure.

OK, fine.

Yes, I believe it.

But... and I shouldn't
have to tell you this...

it doesn't matter what I believe.

Well, I believe we should hire him back.

[sighs] He's too emotional.

Oh, and you're some kind of monk?

Who the hell is Bernie Manfred?

He's up first.

He's head of quality control
or something.

He had a meeting with Jackie.

We don't know what they talked about,

but he fired her two days later.

That seems important.

Oh, yeah.

So we have to settle.

Well, to quote the master,

the value of your settlement
goes up or down

like the stock market.

And our stock is what
you would call a falling knife.

Listen, Leo wants out

It stinks, and he knows it.

Rudy Baylor has been calling around town

looking for a job.

She fired him?

No, that can't be true.

Why not?

Leo did.

He's a smart young man.
He'll... he'll do just fine.

But let's talk about your future.

Where do you see yourself
in 5 or 10 years?

Partner at Tinley Britt, of course.

- That's a good answer.

Come on, Leo. Don't be coy.

Give her some of that
well-earned advice.

Tell her how to make it happen.

I wanna hear this too.

Well, there comes a time in every career

where you have to ask yourself,

do I want to be staff or management?

And then every choice you make
going forward

has to be in service of that decision.

So which is it gonna be for you?

"Whether I shall be
the hero of my own life

"or whether that station will
be held by anybody else,

these pages must show."

[chuckles]

She remembers the first line of novels.

Did you know that?
Which one's that from?

Dickens.

Jeez, Mom.

Don't hold back.

Well, you were honest with me
about Hank, weren't you?

I didn't like it, but you were right.

Now it's my turn.

You lost your first job
because of that mouth of yours.

You lost your second job
for the same reason.

OK, but...

Honey, if enough people are telling you

you're drunk, sit down.

You know, John wouldn't
have lost either job.

It's true.

He was smarter.

He was older.

Your name is Rudy Baylor, isn't it?

- Not John Baylor.
- Mom...

I think if John had been
a short order cook,

you'd be making omelettes right now.

- That's not true.
- Yes, it is.

He's gone, honey.

You can't live his life for him.

Where is this coming from?

John was wise beyond his years.

You, on the other hand,

- What do you see?

I don't know. I see
a rich guy showing off.

Except he's not a rich guy.

He makes less than a buck fifty.

He's VP of Quality Assurance
at Great Benefit.

What?

You see these dates?

They're all late September into October.

- You think he was paid off?
- Paid off, I don't know.

What I do know is he sold
a whole lot of stock.

[sighs]

What are you doing?

Getting Bruiser.

- Hey.
- You got a lot of nerve.

All right, boss, just hear him out,

'cause I think he's on to something.

- Et tu, as*h*le?
- No, I'm Sweden in this thing.

Switzerland.

Is it true, what Sweden here texted me?

Yes, I can get Manfred
to waive privilege

on the Tissue Committee.

[scoffs] That's a hell of a leap.

Plus, you don't work for me, remember?

Let me do it, Bruiser.

I can get you there.

If I had a nickel for every time
a guy said that to me.

I just have to get him to say the words

"Tissue Committee."

He just has to open up the door, right?

Yes.

What have you got to lose?

I already screwed up your case.

Great pitch.

OK.

Let's say I let you in there.

[tense music]

What do you think
you can do that I can't?

I'm gonna use my worst quality.

I'm gonna annoy
the living hell out of him.

Let the record show
that my associate, Rudy Baylor,

will take over questioning for a while.

Associate? Didn't you fire him?

Didn't your mother teach you
never to listen to rumours, Leo?

Nice suit.

[sighs, clears throat]

Just a few questions

to clarify the timeline, Mr. Manfred.

You met with Jackie Lemancyzk
on September 2nd.

- Is that correct?
- If that's what my schedule says.

And what did you discuss?

We covered that
before you crashed the party.

He doesn't recall.

I meet with hospital staff all day long.

I don't remember all of the details.

But didn't you fire her?

Not that day, no.

No, you fired her on September 9th.

Is that correct?

Sounds right.

So you do remember that

seven days after meeting her,

you fired her,

but you have no recollection
of what you discussed.

Objection. Asked and answered.

Answer the question, please.

But he objected.

Good title for your memoirs, Leo.

This is a deposition, not a trial.

You have to answer.

I don't remember.

Melvin Pritcher was fired the same week.

Isn't that correct?

Yes.

So why were these two nurses fired?

The hospital was going
through a round of layoffs.

Really? Weird.

Personnel records show

the layoffs ended a year earlier.

Jackie Lemancyzk was
one of your top nurses.

Why was she fired?

She wasn't a top nurse.

Top nurses don't violate the law.

Oh, so now she's not just a bad nurse.

- She's a criminal.
- Oh, come on.

For your information,
she violated HIPAA 15 times.

She did it to herself.

I thought you said

you don't remember what you discussed.

The truth is, you know
exactly what you discussed.

Of course you remember,

'cause it scared the hell out of you.

Absolutely not.

Are stock options part
of your compensation package?

Objection.

- For the record, relevance.
- I'm gonna ask you again.

Are stock options part
of your compensation package?

Yes.

When do they vest?

♪ ♪

After two years with the company.

Yours vested in 2013.

And I see from your quarterly filings

that since then
and for the last 41 quarters,

you haven't made any move
to sell or trade these assets.

Is that correct?

Yes.

Till September 5th,

three days after
you met with Jackie Lemancyzk

and one day after you met with your CEO,

- Wilfred Keeley, right?
- Objection, relevance.

She recorded the objection.

Mr. Manfred, what was it

that Jackie Lemancyzk said
to you in that meeting

that made you wanna dump all that stock?

I object strenuously.

[chuckles]

I get it.

Right now, you're thinking,
I don't wanna get fired.

What you should be thinking about

is how much worse it's gonna be

when you're indicted
for insider trading.

Then it's not just civil penalties

against the hospital now.

It's prison for you, Bernie.

♪ ♪

But I'm just an ambulance chaser.

What do I know?

Isn't it true that Jackie Lemancyzk

brought her concerns to you
about Melvin Pritcher,

that he knowingly and willfully caused

- the death of Donny Ray Black?
- This is ridiculous.

Objection. Harassing the witness.

What could she have said
that made you want to sell...

- Jackie was wrong.
- Your stock in the company?

The Tissue Committee found
no evidence of wrongdoing.

- We done here?
- Done?

Did you not hear what I said?
There was no malpractice.

Stop talking now.

Documents within 24 hours, Leo,

or we will file for sanctions.

Welcome back.

What just happened?

You just waived privilege
on the Tissue Committee.

- Manfred screwed us.
- Did he?

Or did you?

Me?

What did he do wrong, Sarah?

Manfred got emotional.

Not Manfred, Brad.

Leo.

What did he do wrong, Sarah?

He objected too much.

Why is that a problem?

Because a client has to answer.

So when you repeatedly object,
you signal to the other side

that we're worried about this.

Thank you.

A trial is a hostage negotiation,

only you get to decide
which part you play.

Are you the prisoner
or the guy with the g*n?

You object once for the record.

But when you're objecting a third time,

and strenuously no less,

you've handed the g*n over

and joined the hostages
against the wall!

Maybe submission's your kink, Brad.

I don't know.

Something tells me Sarah wants the g*n.

I'm sorry.

He trapped me.

Wait a second.

It says here there are 11 doctors

on the Tissue Committee,
and Jackie was the first

and only nurse they ever admitted.

Wait. Check this out.

Six members of the committee voted

for a larger investigation
into Donny Ray's death.

Did we even know there was a vote?

No, we did not.

Boys, I've got it.

Is it what we thought?

Uh, yeah, but... [scoffs]

But what? Don't give us blue ba*ls here.

Well, Jackie doesn't just say
Donny Ray Black.

Yeah?

She says she believes that

this might be part of a larger pattern.

What does that mean?

They stopped the hearing.

Committee chair sent her in
to see Bernie Manfred.

- Bernie Manfred.
- Oh, wait.

Manfred fired Jackie
for violating HIPAA, right?

Yeah, 15 counts.

That's what spooked him.

Donny Ray was one of 15 cases.

A homicidal nurse on a k*lling spree.

We're gonna need a bigger boat.

No.

We need to find Jackie Lemancyzk.
