All language subtitles for The Rainmaker s01e10.eng

- Previously on
"The Rainmaker"...

We'd like to call
Jackie Lemancyzk to the stand.

- Leo! What the hell?

- I have evidence
of 15 murders.

- Evidence illegally obtained
is inadmissible.

- That's our whole case.
[gavel bangs]

The NarPense files,
they prove everything.

Machine erases itself
every 90 days.

- Says who? Leo?
Put Jackie back on the stand.

- How long does the machine
keep its data

before it erases it?

- It never erases it.

- Ms. Lemancyzk,
weren't you, in fact,

fired for stealing data

and violating
patient confidentiality?

- That's what they say.

- Ms. Lemancyzk,
it seems you have

a problem with honesty.
- Objection! Argumentative.

- Withdrawn. I'm done.

- Turn around and walk away.

- Do you realize
what you've done?

- If you had just
turned Melvin in,

Rudy could've won this thing
by now.

- I'm promoting you
to second chair.

- You don't wanna sideline me
like this.

I know where the bodies
are buried, remember?

- What bodies?

- Jane and Ethan,
Pritcher, Lemancyzk.

- I didn't pay
Prince and Lyman.

That was you.

- Listen, I need you
to come down to the bar.

I got something for you.
It's important.

Call it a going-away present.

[suspenseful music]

? ?

- Hey.
- Hey.

- Thanks for coming.

- Yeah.
You said it was urgent.

- Yeah, I really need
your help.

- Well, you're doing great.
- Bruiser-

- But now that
my father's gone,

I'd be happy to sit
second chair.

- You'd sit second chair to me?

- It's your case.

- That's actually not
why I called you.

- Why'd you call?

- I don't really know
how to tell you this.

? ?

- Holy shit.

- Bruiser,
meet Melvin Pritcher.

- Hello.

- What did you idiots do?

Deck, call Portillo.

- Wait, Portillo?
What are you talking about?

- He's not a puppy.
We can't keep him.

- We need to get him
to testify.

- Not while he's tied up
in the basement

and you're looking
at a kidnapping charge.

- Yeah, but we didn't
kidnap him.

- We have him now. She's right.

- Call Portillo. Make a trade.

- Whoa. What kind of trade?

- You offer him
the case of a lifetime,

and he gives you 30 minutes
with a serial killer.

- Who are you calling?

- Nunley. We'll need him too.

- They're putting Keeley
on the stand Monday.

I was thinking
I could handle the cross.

He feels a connection to me.

- You did a good job
dismantling the nurse.

That's why you're here.

But I'll handle Keeley's cross.

So Rudy is gonna come to you.

He's gonna tell you
that you work for monsters,

that this isn't for you.

- What do you want me to say?

- Depends.
- On what?

- On whether
you agree with him.

You have a question
you want to ask, ask it.

- The jury heard that Pritcher
may have killed 15 patients,

that the hospital
was aware of it,

and someone deleted the
NarPense data to cover it up.

- What'd I tell you
about truth your first day?

- The truth is not our client.

- Our client is Great Benefit
and its CEO, Wilfred Keeley.

We have one job:
to provide a vigorous defense

for that client.

You have a problem with that?

- No.

[dramatic rock music]

? ?

- Shut up.
- We're done talking.

- It's okay. I'm his lawyer.
Where is he?

- He's here. He's here. Nunley?

- Where is he?

- He's in the basement.

Just-we have a deal.

- Nobody talks to him
without me.

- Hey. Listen to me.

There is evidence
that your client

has killed
a whole lot of people.

- What evidence?

- 15 patients that we know of,
including Donny Ray Black.

- Oh, Melvin,
not a word to anyone.

- Another woman,
Roberta Karakas,

and there are probably others.

- No, this is insane.

- This is real.

This is happening.

[tense music]

? ?

- We believe J. Lyman Stone
and Prince Thomas were involved

in her murder and that they
were working at the direction

of someone at Tinley Britt.

- Cooperate with us.

We might be able
to get you immunity.

- Why would you think
I know anything about this?

- We think it might be part
of a larger pattern.

- We know, periodically,
Drummond likes to pick

a young associate to groom.

- Mentor.

- What's the difference?

- From what we've learned,

you were once
that charmed associate.

And look at you now.

He made you second chair
on the Great Benefit case.

- Not anymore. I got demoted.
- We heard.

- Is that why you're here,
you think I'm disgruntled?

Because I'm not.

- You know a woman who goes
by the name of Jane Allen?

- We're looking for her.

- No.

Does she have something
to do with this

Rosalie Sutton situation?

- We don't believe so.

But like I said, we're looking
at the larger pattern.

- Well, I don't know her.

[suspenseful music]

So she came to Tinley Britt.

We have hundreds of lawyers.

- But you're the only one
who visited her in the hospital

after she was stabbed.

- The Justice Department
is looking through the scope

at Tinley Britt.

You need to decide
which side of the crosshairs

you want to be on.

? ?

- You're about to get
everything you need.

You know that, right?

- Time's almost up.

- Rudy can be very convincing.

Hey, when you get out of those
handcuffs, give me a call.

Couple extra in there
for your friends.

- Rudy's a giant
pain in the ass.

- He came to you
with this weeks ago,

but you didn't believe him.

Remember?

We'll just keep that
our little secret.

- [scoffs]
Are you insane?

You want him to confess?
- Testify.

Melvin, it's the only way
to get what you really want.

- We also have
the NarPense data.

- What the hell is that?

- Melvin knows.

Don't you, Melvin?

- What do I want?

- What are you talking about?

- He said
this is the only way

that I can get
what I really want.

What do I want?

[tense music]

- Here are the possible
outcomes as I see them.

One is the death penalty.

Two is life in prison,
no parole.

Three, we're back
in court tomorrow,

where you get to help
bring down the people

who killed your mom.

? ?

It's the reason you've been
staring at me like that, right?

You're trying to figure out
if I'm being straight with you.

So am I being straight
with you?

- Time's up.

? ?

[engine rumbling]

- Dr. Mulvaney,
in your expert opinion,

what was the cause
of Donny Ray Black's death?

- As I stated earlier,
the cause of death

was influenza,
complicated by a drug overdose.

- Thank you, Doctor.

No further questions.

- Your Honor,
as a rebuttal witness,

we call Melvin Pritcher
to the stand.

[people murmuring]

[gavel banging]

[tense music]

? ?

- Mr. Pritcher,

was Donny Ray Black's death
the result

of a heroin overdose?

- No.

- And you have personal
knowledge to that effect?

- I killed him.

[people gasp]

It was 500 milligrams morphine
straight into the IV line.

He coded
less than a minute later.

- Your Honor, we call
for an immediate recess.

- Motion denied. Proceed.

- Mr. Pritcher,
you were still in the room

when Donny Ray coded.

Weren't you afraid
of getting caught?

- I-I never got caught
all the other times, so...

? ?

- I'd like to introduce
into evidence a plea agreement

between the witness
and the DA's office

in which Mr. Pritcher confesses
to the murder of 15 patients

while employed as a nurse
at Great Benefit,

along with
the subsequent murders

of Roberta Karakas, Ethan Cook,

and the assault and battery
of Amber Sturm.

- Your Honor,
there is a serious danger

of unfair prejudice here.

- Far outweighed by
probative value, Mr. Drummond.

Overruled.

- Mr. Pritcher,
is it true that you're also

the suspect in an arson

which resulted in the death
of your mother, Evalene?

- Yes.

- Why didn't you
confess to that crime

as part of your plea deal?

- Because I didn't do it.

I'd never hurt my mother.

- Objection, this is
the very definition

of frolic and detour.

Even if any of this were true,

which we're not remotely
stipulating,

what does it have to do
with my client?

- It goes to our assertion
that his client conspired

to cover up
Mr. Pritcher's crimes

by setting his house on fire
in an attempt to murder him.

- That statement is outrageous.
We move to strike.

- Denied.

- Plaintiff's Exhibit 9,
Your Honor.

Mr. Pritcher, do you recognize
the woman in this picture?

- Yeah.

Yeah, that lady and her partner
tried to kill me.

- Yeah, would it surprise you
to learn that they

worked for Tinley Britt?

- Objection,
is counsel testifying?

- Are you denying
that she works for you?

- She may or may not.
I have no idea.

I have 300 lawyers
working for me.

More to the point,
where's any evidence

that she ever worked
on this case?

Furthermore, where is any
evidence in this entire circus?

Wild claims by
a clearly disturbed individual

that he's some kind
of prolific serial killer...

- Now who's testifying,
Your Honor?

- Who now claims that someone
is trying to assassinate him.

I mean, what's next, aliens?

- That's enough, Mr. Drummond.

Mr. Baylor,
do you have any more

questions for this witness?

- No, Your Honor.

? ?

- Mr. Pritcher,
where were you born?

- Clearview Penitentiary.

- And your mother was addicted
to heroin at the time.

Isn't that also correct?

- Yeah, but-

- Objection, Your Honor, relevance.

- You had your turn,
Mr. Baylor.

Overruled.

- She got sober.

- How many times
did she get sober?

- She turned her life around.

- Uh-huh.

She got sober
at least seven times,

if I'm not mistaken.

Basically your whole childhood,

with you in and out
of foster care all those years.

- Objection, Your Honor, badgering.

- Sustained.

Let the witness answer,
Mr. Drummond.

- She-yeah, she struggled
with addiction.

- That must have been
devastating,

watching her make
the same awful choice,

putting you second just
so she could get high

over and over and over and over
and over and over and over.

- Objection, Your Honor,
is there a question?

- Yeah, there's a question.

Did that make you angry?

- [breathes deeply]

You don't know
anything about me.

- Sure, I do.

I just had to read
a two-inch-thick file

about you and your mother.

Paging Dr. Freud.

- Objection.
- Is there a question?

- Yeah. [laughs]

- You hated her so much
that you wanted her dead.

Isn't that right?

? ?

- No.
- Come on, Melvin.

Didn't murdering your own
mother make you feel heard-

- Your Honor, objection.
- Sustained.

- Or are you
such a human tragedy

that you had to get up here

and pretend...
- That's enough, Mr. Drummond.

- To be some kind
of spooky serial killer

just to finally get
a little attention?

[gavel banging]

- I didn't kill my mother, okay?

Because you did.

[screams]

[grunting]

? ?

- Excuse me.

[breathing heavily]

- Hey.
- No. No.

We're not doing this right now.

- It's not too late.

- Too late for what?

- I'm sorry, did you not see
what happened down there?

- The only thing I saw was,
a psychopath attacked Leo

right in front of the jury.

- You can still walk away.

You've not done
anything illegal yet.

Come on.

Please?

? ?

- Now you're here to save me.

Well, guess what.

I don't need to be saved
by you, Rudy.

- Bruiser was right.

- Right about what?

- You're not
who I thought you were.

- You're the one
who taught me

to never back away
from a fight.

- You missed the point.

This is not about the fight

but who you fight for.

? ?

You okay?

- I finally heard
the truth, Rudy.

[sighs]

[pensive music]

And thank you for that.

Oh.

? ?

- Heard it was a real scene
in there today.

- I have to be back in court.
What do you need?

- The FBI came to see me.

- Have the car brought around.

Do you need some legal advice?

- They've got us
by the balls, Leo.

The only way
we get through this

is if we're on the same page.

- Here's the page I'm on.

You wanted to make partner,

so you started
painting outside the lines.

And now you got caught.

And you're trying
to bring me down with you.

- What are you talking about?
I've killed myself for you.

- Is that so?

- [grunts]

- Huh.

Well, now you've
killed yourself.

[tense music]

[water dripping]

[suspenseful music]

? ?

- So what's it gonna be?

[knock at door]

- Guys, the judge
is about to enter.

? ?

What's going on?

- I can't do this.
I can't do this.

You told me
I wouldn't have to testify.

- We can't let the accusation
of a psychopath

be the last thing
the jury remembers.

- I want to plead the Fifth.

- This is a civil trial.

If you plead the Fifth,
the jury

is allowed to infer
that you're hiding something.

- You do realize that if I
go down, you go down with me?

- That's not gonna happen.

Stick to the prep.

They don't have
anything concrete.

? ?

You are Wilfred R. Keeley,
a captain of industry,

a leader in your field.

He is a first-year attorney.

You are also
very likeable, Wilfred.

The jury will see what I see.

? ?

- I want her
to handle the cross.

- All right.

We'll wait in the hall.

? ?

Now that you're really
on the inside,

Brad's been talking to the FBI.

- Perfect.

- What do you mean?

- Someone's blood has to end up
on the floor, right?

? ?

- What was the nature
of this urgent meeting

that Bernie Manfred asked for?

- I do not recall.

- According
to Jackie Lemancyzk,

she brought her concerns
to Manfred,

and minutes later,
he set a meeting with you.

Was Jackie Lemancyzk
the subject of this meeting?

- I do not recall.

- I'd like to move on to the
NarPense medication dispensers.

The machine manual, already
introduced into evidence,

says that a 12-digit
alphanumeric master code

is required in order
to reprogram its settings.

Is that correct?

- If that's
what the manual says.

- And the settings
were reprogrammed

September 3rd to wipe
its logs after just 90 days.

Is that correct?

- That's certainly possible.

- Do you know who reprogrammed
the machines?

- Any number
of senior executives.

- Any number?

How many of your executives
had the master code?

- I really couldn't be sure.

[door creaks open]

- Your Honor, a moment
to confer with my colleague.

Where's the NarPense guy?

- He won't talk
without a subpoena, so...

- So Butch is the NarPense guy?
- Good idea, right?

- You want me to lie?
- Bluff.

- He has a terrible poker face.

- I know that's the truth,
but what I'm worried-

- Guys, I'm right here.
- Mr. Baylor?

- So your testimony is that
any number of executives

could have had
the NarPense code?

- Correct.

- And when I call
a NarPense executive

as a rebuttal witness,
he'll say the same thing?

- Objection,

it's improper
to discuss the testimony

of a subsequent witness.

- Sustained.

- Are you okay, Mr. Keeley?

You know you can still
amend your testimony

while under oath, right?

- I'm remembering now.

With the NarPense account,

it is possible
that only I had the code.

? ?

- Let me get this straight.

September 3rd,
the day after your meeting

with Bernie Manfred,
a meeting that he scheduled

mere moments
after Jackie Lemancyzk

brought her concerns
about Melvin Pritcher,

the NarPense dispensers
were reprogrammed

to delete the records.

And you and only you
had the master code.

- Objection, argumentative.

- Is there a question,
Mr. Baylor?

- I guess not, Your Honor.

? ?

- Mr. Keeley, how long has
Great Benefit Hospital Systems

been represented
by Tinley Britt?

- We've been
with, uh, Tinley Britt

since I met Leo Drummond at
a golf tournament 30 years ago.

- And Leo Drummond
must have been

a senior associate
at the time?

- Yes.

- And since Leo
became managing partner,

do you deal with him
on a day-to-day matters?

- I wish.

I can't afford
his billable hours.

- When the new NarPense
machines were installed

four years ago,

would you have shared
all regulatory paperwork

with your legal counsel?

- Of course.

- And that would have included
the master code

to the machines, correct?

- Yes.

- And, Mr. Keeley, who's
the person at Tinley Britt

who has been managing
the day-to-day on your account

the last four years?

? ?

- Brad Noonan.

? ?

- So Brad Noonan
would have also had

the master code to the NarPense
dispenser machines?

- Yes.

Yes.

Brad definitely had
the code as well.

- When Mr. Baylor
was badgering you,

you understandably
seemed a bit confused.

Now that you have
a bit more clarity,

I'd like to repeat
the question.

Did you erase the NarPense
machine history?

- No, I did not.

- Nothing further.

? ?

- We should rest our case.

We still have Melvin's
testimony, Jackie's testimony.

- I want to put Leo
on the stand.

- All right, is this about
winning or about nailing Leo?

- Or beating Sarah?
- Are you serious?

- Can you even do that?

Can you call opposing counsel
to testify?

- Technically, you can, but
that doesn't mean you should.

Putting Leo on the stand
is grabbing a wolf by its ears.

- You lose your grip,
he's gonna eat you alive.

- Yeah, I got that.

I'm first chair, right?

? ?

- Your case, your call.

- I'm putting Leo on the stand.

? ?

- Do you swear to tell
the whole truth

and nothing but the truth,
so help you God?

- I do.

[tense music]

? ?

- It's gawkers.

Whole place is buzzing
'cause Leo's on the stand.

? ?

- Mr. Drummond, what is
your position at Tinley Britt?

- I'm the managing partner.

- You're the boss?

- I am.

- Are there any big decisions
made at the firm

without your approval?

- Now and then, it happens.

- Can you give me an example
of a decision that was made

that you weren't aware of?

- The hiring of Rudy Baylor.

- Yeah.

I worked at Tinley Britt
for two hours,

and even in that time,
it was obvious to me

nothing happens
without your say-so.

- Objection,
the court has already

warned Mr. Baylor
about testifying.

- Your Honor, Mr. Drummond
is opposing counsel.

Rule 607 allows us to treat
the witness as hostile.

- Oh, you may treat
the witness as hostile,

but the objection is sustained.

Mr. Baylor, I need a question.

- Mr. Drummond, on my one day
working at Tinley Britt,

you said the truth
is not your client.

You remember that?

- No, I don't.

- Do you believe a courtroom
is a place to find the truth?

- Objection, relevance.

- Is the truth not relevant?
- Sustained.

Mr. Baylor,
we're not in law school.

Get to your point.

- I'm happy to answer
the question.

In my opinion, the biggest
challenge in a courtroom

is not the truth.

The biggest challenge
is a shared truth.

Otherwise,
we wouldn't need a trial.

We'd just go to lunch.

[light laughter]

- What exactly is
a shared truth?

- Well, for example,
your truth is

that you got fired
for having the temerity

to argue with your new boss.

Mine is that I fired you

because you did not exhibit
the required restraint

to be a good lawyer.

The shared truth is probably
somewhere in between.

- Do you believe
there is a shared truth

when it comes to murder?

- We can both agree that
the death of Mrs. Black's son

is a terrible tragedy.

Where we can't agree is
on the veracity of the rantings

of an accused murderer.

- Do you know the name
Rosalie Sutton?

- Objection, relevance.

- Establishing a pattern
of conduct, Your Honor.

A man went to prison
in a case of Mr. Drummond's

seven years ago
for witness tampering.

Ms. Sutton was the witness.
- Move to strike.

These cases are not
sufficiently related in time

or character under Rule 404.

- Sustained.

The jury will disregard
Mr. Baylor's statement.

- Relax.

You're doing great.

? ?

- Mr. Drummond, has Jane Allen
ever worked for Tinley Britt?

- As I said before,
I wouldn't know.

- I thought no decisions were
made without your knowledge.

- No, you said big decisions.

Who gets hired
as an investigator

is not a decision I would
typically be involved with.

- I'd like to introduce
into evidence as Exhibit 11

a map of the Charleston
metro area.

Also introducing into evidence
Exhibit 12,

which is a list
of GPS waypoints provided

by the Charleston
Police Department

and taken from a '22 Mercedes
registered to Jane Allen.

And the numbers on the screen

correspond
to the numbers on the list.

Will you please
read the first one?

- 1325 Grove Avenue,

12/14.

- But the records show
1325 Grove

is the address
of Evalene Pritcher.

12/14 is the date of the fire
that destroyed her home.

Can you read
the second one, please?

- Your Honor, Mr. Baylor
is making assertions

that have not been introduced
in evidence.

- Happy to stipulate,
Your Honor.

I trust Mr. Baylor
did his homework.

What's next?

- Second highlighted portion.
- What's he up to?

- He's laying a trap.

- Diamond Point State Park,
January 3rd.

- The location where the body
of Jane's associate,

Ethan Cook,
was found shot three times.

Next one.
- Wambaw Motel, January 3rd.

- The motel Melvin Pritcher
was staying at

the night he confessed to have
stolen Jane Allen's Mercedes.

- Oak Tree Road,

February 5th.

- The place where
Jackie Lemancyzk's car

was found abandoned.

Next one.
- Rainbow View Summer Camp,

February 5th.

- This is where Jackie
testified Melvin took her

in the trunk
of Jane Allen's Mercedes.

Next one, please.
- 201 Dellwood Road,

February 14th.

- The house
of Charlie and Amber Sturm,

the night Amber was attacked.

- Next one's
Loggerhead Storage.

- This is where
Jackie testified

she was freed by Jane Allen.

Read the last one, please,
Mr. Drummond.

- The offices of Tinley, Britt,
Mize, and St. John.

- Mr. Drummond, can you explain
what this car was doing

at each of these events
and also at your offices?

- A hypophora
if ever I've heard one.

- Excuse me?

- The question is a hypophora.
It's a cheap lawyer trick.

He asks the question that he
believes has an obvious answer.

It's called a hypophora.

- Do you think it's
a coincidence, Mr. Drummond,

that this car-
- Another hypophora.

Get the idea?

Here are a few more hypophoras.

Is there any evidence
that this woman

ever came to see me personally?

No.

Any evidence that I ordered her
to commit a crime?

No.
- Objection, Your Honor,

nonresponsive.

- I'm answering you.

I'm just doing it in the form
of your original question.

- Objection overruled.

- Here are a few more
hypophoras.

Am I on trial here? No.

Is this a criminal trial? No.

Is it a civil case between
your client and Great Benefit?

Yes.

Is your client relying on you
to focus on that?

Yes, she most certainly is.

Anything else?

- Your Honor,
may I have a moment

to confer with my colleague?

- Unless there's
a pending question,

we're overdue
for lunch break anyway.

- I'm starving,
but I'm happy to keep going.

- Lunch is fine, Your Honor.

- Witness is dismissed.

Court is adjourned
until after lunch.

[gavel bangs]

? ?

- What was that?

- That was a master at work.
- He's good.

He's really good.

- I can-
[clears throat]

I can get this back on track.

- Rudy, making this about him

allowed him to turn it around
and make it about you.

- She's right, pal.

And I'm telling you right now,
we can still win this thing.

- By letting him off the hook?
both: Yes.

- Rudy, you're a fighter, okay?

You never surrender.

It's what got us this far.

But it can also sink us.

- Flip side of my best quality.

- Rudy, I'm your friend.

I'm telling you, let it go.

[tense music]

- Mr. Baylor, you may proceed.

? ?

Mr. Baylor?

- No further questions,
Your Honor.

Plaintiff rests.

- Miss Plankmore, your cross.

- No questions, Your Honor.

- The witness is excused.

? ?

Mr. Drummond,
I would like to remind you

of Professional Conduct
Rule 3.7.

Now that you've been a witness,

you are disqualified
from serving

as Great Benefit's counsel
in this case.

- I would like to request
an exception

regarding the closing argument.

This would impose
an undue hardship on my client.

- Denied.

You have an able second chair
right over there,

as she has so amply
demonstrated.

- Liza, she's barely
out of law school.

- It's the law.

? ?

Sorry, in the gallery.

? ?

[somber music]

? ?

- I've spent a lot of time
with mothers of sons,

and I've learned a few things.

A mother knows
the real trouble for a boy

often doesn't come
from the world out there

but from the turbulent world
in here.

Boys don't share
their feelings easily.

Mother may think that her son's
just off to school.

He feels he's off to war.

Mom might think her boy
is angry or indifferent.

? ?

He may have just had
his heart broken.

A mom is sure her boy
will eventually

do the right thing only after
he's tried every other thing.

[light laughter]

When a mother finally
lets go of that hand,

it is a form of surrender-

surrender to fate, to God,

and to a world of strangers
she prays

will help him when he needs it.

Donny Ray was brought
into the emergency room

at North City Hospital
with a bad case of the flu.

While he was there, a nurse,

Melvin Pritcher, murdered him.

When his mother asked
what happened to her boy,

the hospital lied and told her
he died of a drug overdose.

They killed her son
and then blamed him for it.

Jackie Lemancyzk testified
she saw Melvin Pritcher

leaving Donny Ray's room
just after he coded.

She found out he'd accessed
the NarPense dispenser

minutes earlier.

She later found
14 additional cases

where Melvin had similar access
immediately followed

by the overdose of a patient.

And within days, both Jackie
and Melvin were fired,

and the machines were wiped.

Wilfred Keeley
admitted on the stand

that he was the only
hospital executive

with the NarPense codes
to delete the data.

And just weeks later,
a car belonging

to Tinley Britt's hired
investigator on this case

was located
at the scene of an arson

that almost killed Pritcher
but instead killed his mother.

Why did Great Benefit
go to all this trouble?

Because Wilfred Keeley is more
concerned about lawsuits

and his stock price
than in telling the truth

and protecting the public
from a serial killer.

Dot Black,
like so many mothers,

let go of her son's hand,
watched him walk out the door.

? ?

Dot prayed to God
that the strangers out there

would be kind to her boy

and that he
would be kind to himself.

He wasn't.

And they weren't.

Not at North City Hospital.

? ?

- Miss Plankmore?

- [clears throat]

Ladies and gentlemen
of the jury,

as Mr. Drummond said,

we can all agree that
the loss of Mrs. Black's son

is a horrible tragedy.

Anyone who has
experienced loss-

and who here hasn't-
can empathize with a mother

grieving for her son.

Mr. Baylor suffered
his own tragedy once.

He lost his beloved brother
in a terrible car accident,

and Rudy did what we all do
when we lose someone.

The first three words we say
are, "It's not fair."

How could God take
someone like this from us,

someone so special?

And you see,
grief is so powerful

that it will make us blame
anyone and everyone, even God.

Now, you heard a lot
of testimony in this case,

but ask yourself this.

Which testimony best supports
Mr. Baylor's claim,

a grieving mother who admitted

she couldn't be sure her son
wasn't still using drugs,

a nurse who was fired
for stealing patient records

when she wasn't out
stalking her ex-boyfriend,

or a clearly disturbed
colleague of hers

who is currently on trial
for the murder

of his own mother?

? ?

Donny Ray Black
was a known drug user

who, according to his doctor,
came in

suffering from the flu,
exacerbated

by a drug overdose that would
sadly, sadly end his life.

And the understandable grief
of his mother

was exacerbated by a young,
inexperienced,

overzealous lawyer

who couldn't help but take
this case so personally.

And it's not fair.

That's what we say
because it's true.

It is not fair that
Donny Ray Black is gone.

It's not fair that
Mr. Baylor's brother is gone.

But when we are done
saying it's not fair

and when we are done
blaming everyone else

and when we are done
blaming God,

we begin to heal.

And at some point,
we have to believe what's true,

that God had other plans.

And that realization
is called faith.

But in this room,
in a courtroom,

faith isn't enough.

Mm-mm.

In here, we require proof.

? ?

[somber music]

? ?

- ? Blanket on the grass ?

[indistinct chatter]

- It's a trick question.

He wants you to think
it's about breach of duty,

but really, it's about
proximate cause because-

- Because the damage
wasn't a foreseeable act.

How did you even-
- I'm in your class.

Two rows back.

- ? Light as a feather ?

? And just like a dream ?

[phone buzzing]

[suspenseful music]

? ?

- Ladies and gentlemen
of the jury,

have you reached a verdict?

- Yes, Your Honor, we have.

? ?

- You can do this.
- No, I can't.

- He wasn't better.

He wasn't smarter.

- If it was easy,
I wouldn't need you.

- Are you out of your mind?
She doesn't have a case.

- I wonder if the man
who bought that suit

would approve
of your behavior.

- He was John Baylor,
and you're Rudy Baylor.

- And you're-
you're a fighter, okay?

You never surrender.

It's what got us this far.

- Should've settled
when you had the chance.

- No deal.

- But sometimes
the truth matters.

Sometimes it's all
that matters.

- What are we here
to do today?

- Leave his blood
on the floor.

- I trust you.

? ?

- You may read the verdict.

- We, the jury,
find the defendant,

Great Benefit Hospital Systems,
liable for conspiracy

to knowingly
and fraudulently conceal

the murder of Donny Ray Black

by a North City Hospital
employee.

We award the plaintiff,
Marvarine "Dot" Black,

$1.5 million
in compensatory damages

and punitive damages
in the amount of $80.5 million.

[people gasping]

[light music]

- ? They would say you were ?

- $82 million.

Mwah. You did it, kid.

Whoo-hoo!

- You are now dismissed.

- ? How they loved you ?

? They adored you ?

? But you would sing
with a pain ?

[laughter]

? They never knew ?

? ?

- I told you.

Fire in the belly.

- ? All the madness
was never familiar ?

? And their affection
was much too peculiar ?

- Mr. Drummond, we'd like
to ask you a few questions.

- Same.

- ? That fill the sky ?

? They burn out
before our eyes ?

- John would be so proud
of you.

? ?

- ? Before our eyes ?

? ?

- Well, we lost the case,

but you got
everything you want.

Funny how that worked out.

- I learned from the master.
- Hmm.

Keeley hired Ralston and Cook
for his criminal defense.

We just lost our tenth client.

And I am on my way to another
interview with the FBI.

Some master.

- Can I do anything?

- Enjoy the view.

- [breathes deeply]

[soft music]

? ?

- Oh, this is incredible.

- Deck, they spelled
your name right.

- Yeah, it's 50/50
when your name is Deck.

- A little lady from Charleston
did all this.

- It's incredible.

- Uh, ha.

This is a $3,000 bottle
of bourbon.

Did you know that?

- I don't think Prince
is coming back for it.

Do you?
- No.

He's not coming back.
Let's open that up, yes?

- Yeah, crack it open.
[knock at door]

- Oh, here we go.

There's my guy.
- Whoo!

- Two pizzas?

I told you to get one.
- Yeah.

One's for you guys.
One's for me.

So, Dot, what are you gonna do
with all this money, huh?

- Giving a big pile
to the treatment center

that helped Donny Ray

and some to the place
I got Daisy and her new sister.

- No, you didn't.
You got a new dog?

Come on. What kind?
- A little mutt troublemaker.

Named her Bruiser.

- [gasps]
Oh, I'm touched.

[laughter]

- Now I got to figure out what
I'ma do with all my free time.

- Mm. Yogi's needs a good cook.

- Stop, the bank sold
this place already?

That's impossible.

- They had a motivated buyer.

- You?

Oh, come on.
- Aw.

- We're gonna be a little busy
for you to be running a bar.

- Rudy, you're the hottest
lawyer in Charleston right now.

You're the hottest lawyer
on the East Coast.

- I'm not running it.

Butch is.

- Job's yours
if you want it.

- Depends.

What's the pay?

[laughter]

- ? To the cost of love ?

- What's going on?

- So I'm, uh...

thinking about
taking the bar again.

I don't know,
I thought maybe you'd give me

some pointers or something.

- You don't need pointers.

You just got to manage
your nerves.

- Yeah.

- I think I have something
to help you there.

- No, buddy, I can't take that.

Buddy, that's-

that's your brother's coin.

I cannot take that.

- It's yours now.

? ?

- ? And when we say goodbye ?

- You're a great lawyer, Deck.

- ? In the blue light
of dawn ?

? You can rest here tonight ?

- Kid.

? For the price of a song ?

? Stay for a while ?

[glasses clink]
all: Cheers.

- ? You have come so far ?

[buzzer blares]

- ? Hey, good-lookin' ?

? What you got cookin' ?

? How's about cookin'
somethin' up with me ?

? Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah ?

[upbeat twangy country music]

? Baby, I been on this plot
too long ?

? Hey, shorty,

? Eastbound and down,
I'm flying on I-40 ?

? On my way for a taste
of that apple pie ?

? Yeah ?

? Sweet biscuits,

? This man can stand
the heat in your kitchen ?

? Work all day, and we be
slow-cookin' all night ?

? ?

? I'm talkin' 'bout
a slow simmer ?

? Little somethin' sweet
after dinner ?

? This the type of love ?

? That's better
when you take your time ?

? Yeah, yeah, yeah ?

? Hey, shorty,

? Eastbound and down,

? Work all day, and we be
slow-cookin' all night ?
