The Rainmaker

- Previously on "The Rainmaker"...

- You're gonna file a motion to compel discovery

on this Tissue Committee.

I could get fired.

- Yeah, well, withholding discovery?

That'll get you more than fired.

- I got the autopsy from Jackie's neighbor.

Rudy, this guy is a killer.

Who'd you tell about me?

- You should have settled when you had the chance.

- Why? - Because you're gonna lose.

You can let yourself out.

There he is, the stalker.

You're a dead man.

- Does he know where you go at night?

- Please, don't come here again.

Hey.

Who the hell is this?

- Oh, this is, uh, Rudy. New associate.

- You should have told me first.

- Pete, it's okay. Rudy is cool.

He's one of us. Rudy, this is Doc Pete.

Yeah. You got the stuff I asked for?

I got the autopsy on his mom,

but I can't get Pritcher's personnel files.

Why not?

- Because personnel files are protected.

Oh, and autopsies aren't?

- He's cool, right? - He is cool.

Rudy, tell him you're cool. - I'm cool.

See? Rudy's cool.

- Of course autopsies are protected,

but I have a guy for that.

He can log in. It doesn't ring any bells.

I log in, I get tagged.

You have my money? - Yeah.

Ooh, by the way, I got this rash right here,

on the back of my neck.

Now, internet says it's eczema, but it's, like,

driving me out of my mind.

- Are you judging me? - No, he's not judging you.

Rudy, tell him you're not judging.

Yeah, definitely not judging.

- I work 12-hour shifts for no money,

and I got a girl and a baby to take care of.

So you can take that look and shove it up your ass.

- You know what? Forget the rash.

I'm good. We're gonna go. That's for you.

And here is an extra little boom-boom for the baby.

Thank you, Doc Pete.

You know what? Here's a little tip.

Probably a good tip for life.

Try not to take a dump where we eat, okay?

Go on without me.

What are we doing?

Rudy, talk to me. Who is that?

What are we doing?

Ru-Ru, what's going on?

Hey. Hey.

Why are we following him?

Dr. Stein to Cardiology.

Dr. Stein to Cardiology.

Rudy, who is that guy?

- That's the guy I told you about,

the one who was in my apartment that night.

Wait a second.

Are you talking about the crazy husband?

Rudy, this is a bad idea, okay?

I'm gonna see that bad, and I'm gonna raise it one more bad.

Rudy.

Hello? Hola? Guten tag.

Come on.

- Please be aware that the hospital

is a non-smoking environment.

Son of a bitch.

He did that to her. - You don't know that.

- You don't think? - Okay, you do know that.

All right, I'm just gonna say this to you right now.

As your friend,

you do not wanna get involved in this, Rudy.

I have seen cases like this over the years,

and they only go in one direction, "shi-tastrophe."

Okay, I don't think we're on the same page here.

Hey, hey, hey. Hey, hey, listen to me.

Hey. Can I just ask you a question?

Here's a question, all right?

What is she to you, this girl?

And do you even really know her?

'Cause I'm sure she's got some friends

or family she can turn to.

And I'm not trying to be a monster here, Rudy.

I sympathize, I do, but you have a lot

going on right now, right?

You have a big case, and you have a girlfriend.

- Not sure about the girlfriend.

- Come on. It can still work out, maybe.

Probably not. Not the point.

Not the point. Now, listen to me.

Listen, the point is this. Listen, the point is this.

That girl in there has a husband.

- A husband who beats her. - Yes, yes.

And as tragic as that may be, and it definitely is,

I would say--I would say

that makes her extra unavailable.

- That's not what this is about.

- Oh, really? Okay, then what is it about?

I don't know.

Hello.

- It was my pleasure to lose to you, Your Honor,

but it will be an even greater pleasure

to kick your ass across the golf course on Sunday.

I'll bring the cigars.

Bye, now.

I found Jane.

In a hospital out in Greenville.

She was stabbed.

Almost died in the parking lot, but I'm told she's recovering.

- What'd she tell the police? - I don't know.

Go find out.

- You want me to visit her in the hospital?

I want you to deal with it.

Meanwhile, Judge Kipler granted a hearing

on this Tissue Committee bullshit.

I got Sarah pulling case law.

- You know she leaked it to her boyfriend.

- If you don't trust her, why is she still on this case?

- Because it's not about whether she's trustworthy.

It's about whether she's useful.

And you are uniquely positioned to find that out.

What do you want me to do?

- What does a shrink do with any new patient?

Make them trust you.

Make them dependent upon you.

Mm-hmm?

Yes, yes. I'll be right there. Thanks.

Come on.

Oh, my God.

Oh, my God.

Oh, my God.

Come in.

- I just found out I passed the bar.

Great news. Congratulations.

- There's one thing I've learned.

There's no victory in the law, only relief.

Well, I'm very relieved.

- So this hearing is in two days.

- I've found plenty of applicable case law

to back us up.

Then you should do just fine.

Me?

- You passed the bar, so you'll argue at the hearing.

- And do you really think I'm ready?

- Not really, no, but Brad, here, disagrees.

So he'll sit second chair and help you out,

but you'll be running the show.

Better get to work.

Oh, and, uh, I need a win on this, and so do you.

Both of you.

I won't say your jobs are dependent on it, but, um,

your jobs depend on it.

Understood.

- He'll be ready in a minute, I think.

Any surprises in there?

- She died of smoke inhalation and being burnt to a crisp.

Surprised?

Dot's waiting out there.

What are we telling her?

- Everything's going well and there's nothing new to report.

- You don't wanna tell her that her son may have been

murdered by this woman's son?

- Rudy, we don't tell the client

anything we don't have to.

- This guy's a murderer. - Prove it.

I can't yet.

The police can.

Oh. Again, with the police.

Wanna know what they're gonna tell you?

No motive, no criminal record, no proof.

And if you do get a bite, we lose control.

Our client's case will be stayed

while they conduct their investigation.

- Isn't it in the interest of the public good

to get a murderer off the streets?

- Look, we're not in the public good business.

- We're in the "get our client paid" business.

- She doesn't care about getting paid.

She wants to rip Great Benefit from the ground,

root and branch.

- As long as there's a pile of cash under it.

Is that all you care about?

Yes.

What's EDDP?

Why?

- Autopsy says it was in Evalene Pritcher's blood.

What? How did I miss that?

What is it?

Methadone.

Methadone?

Voreen, bring Mrs. Black in.

Not a word about that.
