The Rainmaker

- 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 maniac.

- He had Jackie Lemancyzk'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 this Baylor kid?

- Out of respect for your father,

I'm gonna do you a favor.

- I'd say you owe him a lot more than that.

Hey, Pop.

- You look like shit. Sleeping okay?

- Well, I got one against Leo Drummond.

- How's your case? - It's a fish.

- 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 the case,

whatever Leo is 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--I can help you.

Guard.

Just remember--

everything I ever did was to protect you.

From what?

Are you serious?

Come here. - Hi.

Not bad, Plankmore.

- Your parents got you this? - Well, the firm did.

But, um--

- Tinley Britt bought you a house?

A first-year associate?

- I mean, it's just a rental, but, um--but I made mimosas.

Come here. I want to show you the bedroom.

The bedroom?

- "Step into my parlor," said the spider to the fly.

- Wow. - Mm-hmm.

You like it?

You can leave a toothbrush here if you want.

I only have the one.

I'm just kidding.

- Mm. Wait, I have a surprise.

- What's this? - Open it.

- Sarah-- - Just--just open it.

So it should fit like a glove,

but I figure 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. No, I love it.

I-I mean, it--it's just--

it's nice.

I can't afford clothing like this.

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

Just 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 gonna work your way back.

- To what? To Tinley Britt? I doubt it.

- No, to a big firm doing what you were meant to do.

Thank you.

Try it on.

- Now? - Yes, please.

Try it on. Fashion show. I'll grab the mimosas.

- 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.

I got to play with her while that goddamn woman

from the court watched us-- my own daughter.

Not too close, of course.

We shouldn't be here.

- Anybody can attend these things.

- It's called Alcoholics Anonymous--

key word being "anonymous."

It's secret. - It's not like it's church.

- We are literally sitting in a church.

- That's semantics. - Shh!

Yeah, shh.

- He liked to say addiction was the disease of relapse.

Well, so is parenthood.

And I relapsed.

I want to be her dad again.

- Would anyone else like to share?

Thank you, Daniel.

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 'em?

- It 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? I could-- Did he not?

- Wait, no, I-I thought I heard you say that, too.

- Assholes! - Hey, 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?

- Hey, 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.

- The truth is Jackie's been a little hard to reach.

- 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, the ex. - He's, um--

What's his-- - No, it's, uh--

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

- Charlie Stern. - 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?

- It's just a lawsuit, Mr. Stern.

We're, uh--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?

Well, she didn't give a name.

She just said she was an investigator or something.

- Kind of icy, in a suit and tie?

That's her.

- You know, uh, Jackie moved out of her apartment,

but she didn't leave a forwarding address.

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 since you 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 is 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--

Whiny and pathetic.

- Okay, so you guys-- you have our card.

- If you hear from her, will you pass along our info?

- Sure, yeah. - Great.

Thanks a ton.

- We done? - Yeah.

- Jackie, what have you gotten yourself into?

- I've done a ton of mock depos.

"Mock depos."

Stop, my nipples are getting hard.

I don't understand. Why--

- Because the doctor is at the heart of our case.

Because a multimillion-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?

- Donny Ray Black. When was he born?

November 29, 1994.

- So you know he was born with a heart murmur?

- Is that relevant? - Oh, it shouldn't be.

Disappeared when he was 5.

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 Donny was a straight-A student,
