- Previously
on "The Rainmaker"...

- What do you need to win?

- We need to find
Jackie Lemancyzk.

Jackie?
[monitor beeps]

Jackie, wait!

I represent Dot Black,
Donny Ray Black's mother.

I believe you.

- I'm sorry.
I can't help you.

- Get away
from this place, Sarah.

Get away from people
like Leo...

[scoffs]
Like me.

- That guy was our best chance
at winning this case.

- I gave you a gun,
and a guy ended up dead.

That's what friends do
for each other.

- We're dropping the case.
That's all you need to know.

- You can't do that.

- It's actually not
your decision.

- Excuse me?

- Dot did sign
with J. Lyman Stone.

She fired you.
She signed with me.

- You think you have
what it takes to go it alone?

- I know he does.

[dramatic music]

- Look, we're gonna be good.
OK, we have a good case.

- This is wrong.

His nurse is a serial killer...
- We can't prove that in court.

- Who kidnapped
Donny Ray's other nurse...

- We don't have the witness.
We don't have records.

- Killed at least
two more people trying

to get ahold of the proof...
- We can't prove it to a jury.

- That he murdered
our client's son!

- Drummond will move
for sanctions,

the judge will grant it,
and we will lose!

- They knew about it.
Hospital knew about it.

They covered it up.
- Rudy, you can't prove that.

- It's the truth.

- [scoffs]
The truth doesn't matter!

- How can you say that?

- Without Jackie's testimony...
- She is just scared.

- Whatever you say
in your opening statement,

Rudy, you have to be able
to prove at trial.

We don't have it--

- We have
the Tissue Committee files.

- The files only prove
that Jackie suspected

that Melvin was killing
his patients, OK?

The committee,
they didn't believe her.

- Now she has the proof.
She is the proof.

- Yes, but we don't have her!

- Yeah, but it wasn't just
negligence, Deck!

- Just listen to me now.
Please, listen to me.

Listen.

Your opening statement,
it is a contract with the jury

that you're gonna prove
what you're promising.

If you break that promise...

we're done.

- I wish Bruiser was here.

* *

[sighs]

- Rudy, you know I dreamed
about being a lawyer

since I was ten years old.

You know what I see
when I look at you?

- Come on, man, wh--

- The man I always
wanted to be.

* *

You can do this.

- No, I can't.

- Well, you're all we've got.

* *

- You know what?
Just--

[clears throat]
Just give me a second.

- Wait, let me have that.

I'm not letting you walk in
there holding a cardboard box.

- We could just go out
to breakfast instead.

- I can't eat.

First time for everything.

- [breathes deeply]

* *

[indistinct chatter]

* *

- You ready to take
the trash out?

- You bet.

- All right.

* *

What are you doing?
Come on.

- I didn't pass the bar,
so I can't cross the bar.

Listen to me.
I'm gonna be right here.

I'll be right here
behind you, all right?

- I know.

* *

- You two still friends?

- Of course.

- Been arguing for days.

What'd you decide to do?

- The claim we filed
is for medical malpractice.

We can't prove murder,
not without more evidence.

But...

it's really your call.

You're the client.

- And you're my lawyer.

There's one thing
I've learned about you, Rudy,

it's that you always do
the right thing.

I trust you.

* *

- Sarah.
- Hmm?

- What are we here to do today?

- Leave his blood on the floor.

- Our little girl's
growing up, Brad.

- Leo.

* *

- Leo.
- Glad you could make it.

- Sarah.
- Good morning, Mr. Keeley.

- Nice to see you again.
- All rise.

The Court of Common Pleas,
Ninth Judicial Circuit

now in session.

The Honorable Liza Murdoch
presiding.

- Good morning, everyone.

- Morning, Your Honor.
- Morning, Judge.

Lovely day to get started.

- A man is dead, Mr. Drummond.

Let's act accordingly.
- Of course, Your Honor.

Understood.
- Let's bring the jury in.

* *

[dramatic rock music]

* *

- * Got a faraway girl... *

- Why are you getting so upset?

- Because I should be
in that courtroom right now.

- I made a judgment call.

- [laughing] Oh, yeah?

Well, your judgment
got you a prison sentence.

- Yeah, my judgment
put you through law school.

- * I'm in North Carolina *

* She's in Tennessee *

- Holy shit.

- * Her mama said,
I'm gonna come get her *

- [mumbling excitedly]

- What is she saying?
- [mumbling]

- She said "raid."
- Shit.

- FBI! Warrant!
- [sighs]

- We have a search warrant
for these premises.

- You got to be kidding.

- Nice to see you again,
Ms. Stone.

- Anyone else in the building?
- Just us chickens.

- You guys are unreal.

[dramatic music]

* *

- Good morning.
My name is Rudy Baylor.

This is my first trial.

It was just a few months ago
that I was still in law school.

That's where I met Dot Black.

* *

School was running
a free legal clinic,

mostly small-claims matters,

but Dot came with a different
kind of problem.

She was...

distraught

because her son, Donny Ray,

had died in the care
of North City Hospital,

a subsidiary of Great Benefit.

Now, they claim he died
of a drug overdose.

I will prove to you
that Donny Ray was clean

and had been for over a year.

I will prove that
the hospital and its staff

were negligent
in caring for Donny Ray.

I will prove...

And that--

* *

This is wrong.
- [whispering] Don't.

- What's wrong?

* *

- My opening statement,
Your Honor.

- Mr. Baylor?

* *

- It's a contract
with the jury, right?

* *

I lied.

It's not just that
the hospital was negligent.

No, it was much worse
than that, so much worse.

* *

A nurse at North City Hospital
murdered my client's son.

- Mr. Baylor!

- Shouldn't we object?
- His name is Melvin Pritcher.

[gavel banging]
- Mr. Baylor.

- And he murdered
Donny Ray Black.

And that man right there...
- Mr. Baylor.

- CEO Wilfred Keeley,
and several

of his executives knew about
it, and they covered it up.

- Mr. Baylor, that's enough.

- Another nurse,
Jackie Lemancyzk,

she suspected Pritcher.

- Mr. Baylor, did you not
hear the gavel?

- Leo, we need to preserve
our objections for the appeal.

- Don't bother
killing your enemy

when he's busy
committing suicide.

- Donny Ray Black was murdered.
- Mr. Baylor, I'm warning you.

- They knew about it.
They covered it up.

[gavel banging]
- That is enough, Mr. Baylor.

Did you not hear the gavel?
- And that is the truth.

- Counsel, in my chambers now.

[footsteps departing,
indistinct chatter]

My first trial was a case
against a baker

who delivered
the wrong wedding cake.

Your first case, Mr. Baylor,

is against a major corporation.

I can only imagine
the stress you're under.

With that said,
your performance in there

was utterly beneath
the dignity of this court.

When I bang that gavel,
you shut up.

During the hearing
on your motion to compel,

Judge Kipler invited you
to amend your complaint.

You and your then co-counsel,
Ms. Stone, declined.

- Yes, well, new evidence
has come to light, Your Honor.

- Involving what you allege
to be multiple murders.

And you didn't immediately
produce it to opposing counsel

and alert this court?

Oh, instead, you ambushed
us all in your opening.

Just what, in God's name,
is this new evidence?

- [breathing heavily]
It, uh--

I don't have it just yet.

- [scoffs]

- Go ahead, Leo,

'cause, frankly,
I'm out of words.

- We've been working
under the assumption

that we're defending

against a garden-variety
medical malpractice claim.

To be blindsided
and have my client defamed

in front of the jury
based on some vague reference

to evidence we haven't seen--

that Mr. Baylor
concedes he doesn't even have--

is amateur hour at best.

If there is any such evidence,

he has to produce it
here and now.

Otherwise, based on this
disgraceful conduct,

not to mention the irreparable
prejudice to my client,

I move that you dismiss
this action in its entirety

as a sanction under Rule 37.

- It's hard to argue.

Mr. Baylor,
would you like to try?

- Respectfully, Your Honor,
I may be new at this,

but I believe you need
to make an explicit finding

of bad faith on my part

to dismiss the case
on those grounds.

I'm prepared to submit the oath
required under Rule 40(i)(2)

that I'm not doing this
for an improper purpose.

All I'm asking for is 48 hours

to produce the evidence
in support of the new claim.

Your Honor...

Mr. Drummond
and his associates,

they may not believe that
a trial is about the truth.

- Please.
- But I do.

I think you do, too.

- You'll know what I believe
when I render a decision.

I'll give you 24 hours.
- Your Honor!

- I'm sending the jury home.
You have one shot, Mr. Baylor.

One.

- Thank you, Your Honor.

[Cassandra Violet's
"Burn It Down"]

[door opens]

- * Burn down,
burn it all down *

* Burn it all down... *

- Detective!
[elevator bell dings]

- * Burn down,
burn it all down *

* Burn it all down,
burn it to the ground *

- I need to talk to her.

Please?
- [sighs]

- * I had a man,
and I had my plan... *

[knock on door]

* And I tipped my hand *

* I said enough,
I got my suitcase *

* Got my car,
and I got my place *

* And I had a home,
but it was never mine *

* I went through the motions,
now I'm out of time *

* I got to burn down *

* Burn it all down *

- I told him five minutes.

- * Burn down,
burn it all down *

* Burn it all down,
burn it to the ground, yeah *

[indistinct chatter]

- All rise.

- Come on.

[dramatic music]

He'll be here, Your Honor.
- And who are you?

- Deck Shifflet, paralawyer.

- Power lawyer?

- Yes, par--no, it's para.

It is like paralegal,
except I went to law school.

I just--I just
didn't pass the bar.

I honestly just think I'm not
a wonderful test taker.

[door opens]

Truth is--
Uh, he's here, Your Honor.

Uh, Rudy Baylor.

- Mr. Baylor, I trust you have
the new evidence

to support
your amended complaint?

- Yes, Your Honor.

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

- Leo, what the hell?
[door opens]

* *

- Your Honor, we object
to this surprise witness

and move to exclude
her testimony.

- Your Honor, Ms. Lemancyzk
has been in protective custody

because Melvin Pritcher,
the nurse

that we believe killed
Donny Ray Black,

kidnapped her
and is still at large.

- Objection, prejudicial.

- There's no jury here,
Mr. Drummond.

I'll question
the witness myself.

[door closes]

* *

Ms. Lemancyzk, the plaintiff

alleges that the executives
of Great Benefit

conspired to cover up
and conceal a murder.

Do you have evidence
to support that claim?

- I don't have evidence
of amurder.

I have evidence of 15 murders.

[people gasp, murmur]

- And, uh,
what is this evidence?

- I have the NarPense data,
you son of a bitch.

- Objection, Your Honor.

Those files are
the property of my client.

- Hang on.

What is a NarPense?

- The NarPense machine
dispenses narcotics.

Donny Ray was 1 of 15
mysterious overdoses

at North City who all had
one thing in common--

Melvin Pritcher
was the ER nurse.

On each occasion, he had
ordered unauthorized morphine

from the machine
and then immediately canceled

the transaction.

- What do you mean
he canceled?

- Well, if you cancel it,

the drawer closes
after three seconds.

That's enough time
to remove the medication.

- Objection, speculation.

- That's your evidence?

A nurse canceled
some morphine orders?

- Your Honor, 2 or 3 times
is a coincidence, but 15?

- How did you get these files?

- Well, after I was fired,
I went back to the hospital

while my ID was still active,
and I downloaded them.

- Your Honor, this witness,
by her own testimony,

has committed theft
of hospital property

and violated HIPAA
no less than 15 times.

Evidence illegally obtained
is inadmissible.

- OK.
I've heard enough.

Thank you, Ms. Lemancyzk.

- Wait, wait.
That's it?

- Your Honor, I'm entitled
to a ruling on my objection.

- Yes, you are.

Objection sustained.

- What?
- What?

- But the motion to dismiss
is denied.

- Your Honor!

- I'll allow the trial
to proceed on both

the plaintiff's claims.

However, I have no choice
but to exclude

both the USB drive and any
testimony regarding its data.

- Your Honor,
that's our whole case.

- Law school 101, Mr. Baylor.

If you steal it or conceal it,

you don't get to reveal it,
not in my court.

* *

- Then I request
that the defendant produce

all data stored
on the North City Hospital

NarPense medication dispensers
from January 2013

through the present.

- Unfortunately,
Your Honor, I'm told

that that data is erased
every 90 days,

per company policy.

- OK.

After lunch, we'll hear
defendant's opening statement.

Court is adjourned.
[gavel bangs]

- How can you work
for these people?

- It's a trial, Rudy.

Try not to take it all
so personally.

[bell tolling]

- [sighs]

[scoffs]
Back for that bourbon?

- Oh, we came
to give you something.

- Really?
Lucky me.

What do you got?
- Immunity.

- Things happen.
You got to let it go.

I have a little extra for you.

- Look, I didn't sign up
for top shelf.

And I don't want to be paid
for it, not for her.

Man, she didn't deserve that.

- None of us do.

* *

- We love our children.

In fact, when they
make mistakes,

it's our job
to love them even more.

We hope and pray that they'll
navigate life's problems

and not succumb
to its temptations

and, ultimately, that they'll
make good decisions.

But sometimes they don't.

And sometimes...

those decisions result
in the unimaginable.

Like his talented attorney,
Donny Ray Black

was a young man
with a bright future.

Sadly, however,
his story is a tragedy.

Mr. Baylor's story, I suspect,

over a long
and prosperous career,

will be a triumphant one...

* *

But not here and not today.

The desire to find a villain
when tragedy strikes

is a natural part
of the grieving process.

However, a courtroom

is no place for grief.

In here, we deal only
with the facts,

not the emotions,

not coincidences.

There are no villains here.

There's only a mother
who loved her son

and the heroic doctors
and nurses

who tried to save him.

- That man, he--
he didn't just kill my boy.

He killed 14 others.

You saying the jury is just
never gonna hear about that?

- Let's focus on you
and your testimony for now.

- Dot, you asked
for the secret sauce, right?

- It's in the drinks tray.
- Ooh, blammo.

- If he killed 15 people,

that's 15 families
who've lost someone.

- Dot, you're
on the stand next week.

- I'm gonna wash my hands.

[footsteps departing]

[pensive music]

* *

- Are you thinking
what I'm thinking?

- Unlikely.

- We should sign them up.

- You want more clients?

In case you haven't noticed,
this isn't exactly going well.

- It's called
the Eisenhower Principle.

- Eisenhower?

- When you have a problem
you can't solve,

you make it bigger.

- If they won't let Jackie
talk about that evidence,

will the jury ever know
about the other families?

* *

- Rudy, you OK?

* *

- We need to sign
the other families.

- [whispering]
FYI, that was my idea.

- If they become our clients,
then we get access

to all of those patient files.

Make it bigger.
Deck, you are a power lawyer.

- [normal voice] Guess who's
got a list of their names.

- Someone want
to explain this?

- If we sue on behalf
of all the other families,

then we can establish
a pattern.

* *

- Hmm.

* *

- They offered you a deal.

- Of course
they offered a deal.

- Then we have nothing
to talk about.

- You think I'm wearing a wire?

Really?

[scoffs]
I'm your daughter, asshole.

- For that reason alone,

it's better
that you don't know anything.

- I would have loved some
of that fatherly protection

the night you dragged me
into all this.

- What do you want from me?

- She had a daughter, Dad.

Does that not mean
anything to you?

[scoffs]

[bottle thuds on desk]

- What do you think
happened, Jocelyn?

- I think you and Prince
were supposed

to get her out of the country
and things went sideways.

Or Leo changed the plan.

Did you do it, Pop?

[dramatic music]

* *

- I've done a lot of things,

but I didn't kill that woman.

And I shouldn't have
to tell you that.

* *

- Hi, yes, Mrs. Clancy?

My name is Rudy Baylor.

- Mr. Alvarez,
my name is Deck Shifflet.

I'm a legal associate
for J. Lyman Stone.

- We believe your husband--

- Your daughter may be
a victim of a pattern.

- A pattern of negligence
and even malfeasance

that the hospital knowingly
and willfully covered up.

- Who told you
you can't talk about it?

- When did you get this offer?
- Three weeks ago?

- No, you know what?
Let me guess.

Was it three weeks ago?

- Mr. Alvarez, listen,
I appreciate your time,

but do you happen to remember

the name of the lawyer
that came to see you?

- No, the settlement
prevents you

from taking part
in our lawsuit.

Sorry to have bothered you.

Same story.

Lawyer from Tinley Britt
shows up...

- Rudy.

- Check in hand,
all for the low,

low price of keeping
their mouths shut.

- Rudy.
- What?

- The last guy gave me
the name of the lawyer

that came to see him.
- And?

- It was Sarah.

* *

- Tinley Britt is the largest
law firm in the state.

We're representing North City
in a lawsuit right now.

It's a pretty
run-of-the-mill case.

Hospitals get sued
all the time.

You know how it is.

And I'm just
a first-year associate,

so I mostly do
witness research.

But after I learned
what happened to you,

I couldn't help
but wonder if you

would be interested in
exploring your legal options.

I mean, let's face it, Amber.

You're only here
because of Jackie.

- Ey, what up, everyone?

Today is probably
my most important post ever.

It was one year ago today
I woke my ass up.

You know, I thought I had
my tolerance on lock,

but the dope
caught up to me, and--

and I-I finally got clean.

And this year has been
the hardest

and the most rewarding
journey of my life.

[somber music]

* *

- Mrs. Black...
- [breathes shakily]

- When did Donny Ray post
this video?

- [sighs]

Three days before
he went to the hospital.

I was so proud of him--

am so proud of him.

- Permission to approach,
Your Honor.

I'm handing you
Plaintiff's Exhibit 3.

This is the report
you received from the hospital.

- Yes, that's the letter.

- Please read
the highlighted portion.

- "Cause of death, influenza,

complicated by 6-MAM."

- And did the, uh--the report
explain what 6-MAM is?

- It says it's heroin.

But the Google thing says
it could also mean morphine.

- Do you believe
that your son died

due to a heroin overdose?
- Objection!

- Your Honor, I'm not asking
for an expert opinion,

just one from a mother
who knows her son.

- Witness may testify
to what she observed.

- My son hadn't put
that crap in his arm

for a year and three days.

So how could he die
from heroin?

- Thank you.

No more questions.

- [whispering]
Hey.

Well done.

- Mrs. Black, I would
first like to offer

my sincerest condolences.

- I bet you would.

- Please, stick to answering
the questions, Mrs. Black.

- Then he should stick
to asking them.

- Fair enough.

Mrs. Black, in his long
struggle with heroin addiction,

how many times
did your son tell you

that he was clean, only to
find out later that he wasn't?

* *

- Five.

- And you just testified

that your son was clean
for a year before he died.

How did you know that?

* *

Isn't it true that you only
know because he told you?

* *

- Yes, but I--
- Nothing further.

* *

[knock on door]

- Hi.
- Hi.

- Brought you a couple suits.

- You didn't need
to buy me a--

- Oh, I didn't buy them.
Guy owed me a favor.

[refrigerator door opens]

- Thought you'd stop
by the courtroom sometime.

- Yeah, well,
didn't want to rattle you.

- Couldn't be much worse.

- I heard.

You know, this case

has always been a fish
pretending to be a whale.

- You know, the thing is,
I have it.

The NarPense files,
they prove everything,

but I can't use them.

I already tried
to get them another way.

Machine erases itself
every 90 days.

- Says who?

Leo?

Come on, Rudy, I've taught you
better than that.

- He--he can't lie
in court, Bruiser.

- Why not?

Put Jackie back on the stand.
- Judge already said--

- Listen, is there
a better expert on this machine

than a nurse
who uses it every day?

Rudy, you've been trying
to prove a cover-up

that's already happened.

Show the jury
that it's still happening.

Leo, that Brad twit...

that girlfriend of yours--
they're all part of it.

- The judge could hold me
in contempt, throw me in jail.

- So what?

You've been in jail before.

You survived.

You know what your problem is?

You still think
you're one of them.

[poignant music]

You're one of us, babe.

[bottles clink]

[indistinct chatter]

[dramatic music]

- Jackie Lemancyzk team,

financials, job history,
social media.

I need any and all complaints
from patients,

whether she treated them
directly or not.

Where's my Donny Ray team?

I need the AV prep for Leo
in one hour.

Narrow it down
to your top five clips.

* *

Team's working hard.

They'll have something
to you within an hour.

What are you two
conspiring about?

- Sarah has some thoughts
about Jackie Lemancyzk.

- Is that so?

- Nuts and sluts.

She's either crazy,
so she's imagining things,

or she's a slut
and can't be trusted.

- Nuts and sluts is a defense
for sexual harassment,

not med mal.
- We need to discredit her.

- Leo, you've already
neutralized Lemancyzk.

You go in after her like this,

it could turn the jury
against you.

- I'm not going after her.
She is.

- You're not serious.

- Sarah will handle the cross
woman-to-woman.

Better get to it.

* *

- She's a junior associate.
I'm on partner track.

- That's correct,
because you are a team player,

and I have something
more important for you to do.

* *

[knock on door]

[camera shutter clicking]

* *

- Leo too scared
to show his face?

- He's busy.

It's all there.

* *

So this is goodbye, then.

- We about to hug?

* *

- [sighs]

[dramatic music]

Ms. Lemancyzk, can you
tell us what a NarPense is?

- Objection!
- Mr. Baylor, I am not amused.

- Your Honor, I'm presenting
Ms. Lemancyzk

as an expert witness
on the NarPense machine.

- She's a nurse,
not a technician.

- Rule 702, Your Honor.

She used the machine
for over ten years

and instructs
new nurses in its use.

- I'll designate her an expert

on the operation
of the machine only.

- Ms. Lemancyzk,
have you ever had to access

the NarPense data logs?
- Many times--

- Your Honor!

- Mr. Baylor, I would be
very careful if I were you.

- How long does
the machine keep its data

before it erases it?
- It never erases it.

* *

- Enter into evidence
as Plaintiff's Exhibit 5,

a letter emailed
to me this morning

from the NarPense Corporation.

Will you please read
the highlighted portion?

- Uh, "The NarPense system
cannot delete its data

"without entering
the master code,

"which is only held
by select senior executives

at the hospital."

- Counsel, approach.

- Get ready.
You're up soon.

- [whispering]
Here we go.

- [whispering] Mr. Drummond, it
sounds to me like your client

has hidden evidence
in this case and, worse,

knowingly
and willfully destroyed it.

- I was told
the data was erased.

- We have a copy, Your Honor.

- That evidence
has been excluded.

- That was before your client

started playing games
with this court.

Present your evidence,
Mr. Baylor.

- Yes.
- [grunts happily]

- Ms. Lemancyzk,
tell us what happened

the night Donny Ray died.

- When he coded,

I ran down the hall,
and that's when I saw

Melvin Pritcher
leaving the room.

It struck me as odd
for two reasons.

One, he's an ER nurse.

He didn't belong there.
- And two?

- Well, when a patient codes,
it means he's decompensating,

so heart attack, stroke,
a catastrophic situation.

We're nurses.

We don't walk out
when that happens.

We run in.

- And why was Donny Ray
decompensating?

- Well, that's the thing.
He shouldn't have been.

We were treating him,
and he was stable.

H-he just had a bad flu.

- Objection,
calls for speculation.

- She's a nurse.
She's not speculating.

She's diagnosing.
- I'll allow it.

- It was deemed
a drug overdose,

which didn't make sense.

So I did some digging,
and I found 14 other cases

of a patient OD'ing
when their chart

said they'd been stabilized.

Melvin Pritcher was the common
denominator in every case.

- What happened then?

- I took my suspicions
to the peer review committee,

but they deemed it
a coincidence.

So I went to Bernie Manfred,
the VP of Quality Assurance.

- He must have been grateful

that you brought
this information to him.

- He fired me.

* *

- On the screen
is a summary of the data

that you took
from the NarPense machines.

What are we looking at?

- It's a list
of 15 orders of morphine

placed by Melvin Pritcher,

each on the day
a patient died of an overdose.

- And why is there
a cancellation after each one?

- That means you've decided
not to withdraw the drug.

But when you cancel,
you have three seconds

until the drawer closes.

- Is that enough time
to remove the medication?

- Yes.

- When was the last time
you saw him?

- When he tied me up
in a storage unit.

[people gasp, murmur]

Melvin kidnapped me to try
and get his hands on that list.

* *

- No further questions,
Your Honor.

- Sarah Plankmore
for the defendant, Your Honor.

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

for stealing data and violating
patient confidentiality?

- That's what they said--
- And your suspicions

were dismissed by both
a committee of doctors

and a hospital vice president
overseeing patient care.

Doesn't that tell us
that these accusations

are devoid of merit?
- No.

What it tells us is that
they were trying to hide

what happened.
- Hmm.

You have a history of making
wild accusations, don't you?

Why did Charlie Sturm
break up with you?

- Objection, relevance.

- Your Honor, it goes
to the witness' credibility

and moral character.

- Overruled.

- Isn't it true
that Charlie broke up with you

because you repeatedly accused
him of cheating?

- No, there--there were
other reasons, but--

- Did you ever catch him
in the act,

find any lurid texts,
hidden photos?

- No, no.

- Breakups are hard,
aren't they?

So much so that you
were stalking him.

- You talked to Amber.

- And I spoke
to the Charleston Police.

I have here three complaints
by Charlie and his new wife

that you were stalking
and harassing them,

both in person and through
repeated texts and calls.

- Now, Amber made
that complaint, OK?

Not Charlie.
Never Charlie.

- Wasn't it you
who cheated first?

- [scoffs] We were taking
a break at the time, but--

- Did your rage
about your personal life

impede your judgment at work?
- No!

- You called in sick for a week
after that breakup, right?

- No, I take my work
very seriously!

- Oh, I'm--I'm sure you do.

Where did you get
your nursing degree?

- Charleston Southern
University.

- And they let you graduate

even though you cheated
on a final.

* *

- That--that was a mistake.

- When you were caught,
you lied about it

and only came clean
when a classmate confessed

to the plan.

- [scoffs] We had pulled
two all-nighters

in a row at the hospital.

We hadn't slept in days.

So we just decided
to help each other out.

It was a mistake.

I never did anything
like that again.

- Except for when
you cheated on Charlie.

Ms. Lemancyzk, it seems you
have a problem with honesty.

- Objection, argumentative.
- Withdrawn. I'm done.

- Going away, are we?

- We do what we got to do.
- [scoffs]

I guess that means
he's going, too.

You say bye to Rudy?

- And why would I do that?

- Oh, come on,
don't bullshit me.

You made me hire him, remember?

You gave him shifts
when he was short on cash.

You even gave him a gun
when he needed one.

- Is that what he told you?
- He didn't have to.

- What are you doing here,
Bruiser?

- That kid cares about you.

And he is fighting for his life
in that courtroom,

and he's gonna lose.

And why?

Because when Leo called, you
slithered back on your belly.

If you had just turned
Melvin in,

Rudy could have won
this thing by now.

And trust me,
those assholes need a beating.

I hope you and Lyman
have a nice life together.

[dramatic music]

* *

- I haven't seen an associate
destroy a witness like that

since I did it myself
30 years ago.

- Thank you
for trusting me, Leo.

- Well, get prepared
for a lot more.

I'm promoting you
to second chair.

- Are you serious?

- Leo, she's never
worked a trial.

She doesn't even know
basic procedure.

- What she doesn't know,
I'll teach her.

What she did today,
you can't teach.

Meet me for breakfast tomorrow.

Emily will give you
the details.

- I'll be there.
Thank you for this.

- Does this mean
I'm off the case?

- You can sit third
or pivot to "Greenwald."

It's up to you.

- [sighs]

Why are you doing this?

- I'm not doing anything

I didn't do for you
in the beginning.

There's nothing different.
- Yes, it is.

You don't want
to sideline me like this.

- [scoffs]
I don't?

- I know where the bodies
are buried, remember?

- What bodies?

- Jane and Ethan, Pritcher,
Lemancyzk--

everything you've done
to win this case.

- Everything I've done?
But you hired Jane.

You told her what to do.
You paid her.

- Yeah, on your orders.
- I don't remember any of that.

- [scoffs] You paid Prince
and Lyman to leave the country.

Did you already
forget that, too?

- Thank you, Ms. Allen.

- What the hell
is she doing here?

* *

- I didn't pay
Prince and Lyman.

[folder thuds on desk]
That was you, remember?

* *

- You son of a bitch.

- I'll take that as a no
on sitting third.

Relax, Brad.

You're still useful
as a backup singer.

But, uh, that girl's a star.

* *

[footsteps approaching]

- You deserve a better lawyer.

- You think so, huh?

You know what I seen in here?

I seen someone
telling the truth.

- "Truth is not your client."

Leo F. Drummond.
- [scoffs]

You're not him, thank heaven.

You should invite
your mom down here,

let her see her boy
do his thing.

Win or lose,
she'll be so proud.

* *

Trust me on that.

* *

Hmm?

- [sighs]

* *

[Down Like Silver's
"To the River"]

* *

- * I walk to the river *

- [sighs]

- * Waitin' *

- After we picked her up
from your place,

we took turns driving
to the Canadian border.

- * I sit down... *

- Rosalie was scared.

She'd been having
second thoughts

the whole way up there.

- * Quiet ring *

* *

- [sighs] We should have told
her up front

there'd be a handoff.

It spooked her.

- * Sunlight that covers
these banks *

[phone buzzing]

* I've seen
the water running *

* I've seen
the color wash away *

- Hey, kid.
It's me.

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

I got something for you.

It's important.

- * I come to the river *

* Heavy and tired
to the bone *

- We were chasing her through
the woods, not to hurt her.

- * I lay down beside her *

* Grave as a slowly
sinking stone *

* *

* I see clear to the bottom *

* I watch *

- Prince?

* How the shadows play *

- Prince?

* *

- * I've seen the water *

- He's downstairs.

- * I've seen the colors
bleed away *

- What you worried about?

Come on.

* *

- * The light turns silver *

* Drainin' the hours
from the day *

* *

- Go on.

- * The weight of the water *

- You think
it doesn't bother me?

- * Pulls at the branches *

- Bothers me every day.

- * Along the banks *

* And it tears *

[gunshot]

- I want you to tell them.

Do whatever you need to do
to get yourself out of this.

Understand?

- I won't do that.

* I've seen
the colors fade away *

* *

* I've seen
the water rollin' *

* I've seen
the colors fade away *

* *

- Call it a going-away present.
