The Rainmaker

- Previously on "The Rainmaker"...

- That girl in there has a husband.

A husband who beats her?

What are you doing here?

You killed 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.

- Welcome back, Mr. Drummond. Mr. Noonan.

Hello, Adeline.

- Adeline, this is our new associate,

Sarah Plankmore. - 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.

- 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.

Welcome to London, Ms. Plankmore.

- Yes, I know it's not hiring season.

No, I haven't passed the bar yet.

Hey, we got customers.

Yeah, two seconds.

If you could just keep me in mind.

Yes, understood.

- Hey, this ain't no unemployment office.

Sorry.

Prince.

Uh, is there any chance I could borrow some money,

just till I land a new job?

Look, I like you, Rudy,

but I'm not the guy you want to borrow money from.

I'll pay you back.

Ask someone else.

- Prince, come on. You know me.

- Look, that's why I'm saying this.

I don't want you to get hurt.

You get me?

Now, you need some shifts, I'm your man.

Anything else?

Bank of America.

Understood.

- 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 killer 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 killed 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.

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 of this thing too, OK?

It stinks, and he knows it.

And stop quoting me.

You took my fork.

All right.

Now, this is the best soufflé suissesse

outside of Paris.

What's in it?

Cheese baked on double cream.

- Does it come with a free angioplasty?

Don't worry about it, Leo.

I'll give you a discount.

Now, here's to our little lion.

Me?

- I hear you mopped the floor with that young man

at the hearing.

- Oh, I--I wouldn't go that far.

Oh, don't be modest.

- Leo and Brad prepared me well.

A shrewd lion.

To Sarah the lion.

both: Sarah the lion.

Now let's eat this suissesse.

I heard some news today.

Do tell.

- 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."

She remembers the first line of novels.

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

Dickens.

"David Copperfield."

Wonderful.

Really wonderful.

You got fired, Rudy.
