Previously on "The Rainmaker."
This is Rudy Baylor.
He's the best in our class.
Mrs. Black's son was admitted
to North City General.
Sadly, he passed.
They killed him.
- [groans]
- Stop it, both of you!
I need you to move out.
All men are equal under the law.
- Who believes that? You.
- Are you okay?
You're bold enough to come
late to your first meeting.
Fired?
What were you thinking
arguing with Leo Drummond
on your first day?
Called every reputable firm
in town ain't nobody's hiring.
How about a not-so-reputable one?
Jocelyn Stone.
Bruiser to my friends.
- I see you met Deck Shifflet.
- How you doing?
- Is she on my account?
- She's not even a lawyer yet.
Yeah, she's on your account.
You got to be kidding me.
That's the guy we saw at the hospital.
You are Melvin Pritcher, right?
I heard about the fire.
Mama, wake up!
I'm going to get help!
[forceful coughing]
I need a client, you need a lawyer,
and neither of us has much love
for Tinley Britt.
What happens when Leo
finds out that my boyfriend
is suing his prized client?
So it is about you.
Why can't it be about the both of us?

I never forget a face.
That's too bad.

Good call.
I'll talk to Nunley.
We've got the motion
to dismiss coming up,

that we can't talk to this guy.
I mean, at the very least,
he's a witness.

That's why we have to talk to him.
I agree, Boss.
Well, I've known Nunley a long time.
There's a code.
It's called professional courtesy.

Oh, just Pritcher.
He's not going to the police.
Trust me.

Yes.

Rule 1,

Yeah, we can do that.

You're just a kid.

I'm not a good ambulance chaser, no.
Do you know where the term
ambulance chaser came from?
It was used by white-shoe firms
in the '20s
to crap on any lawyer that
wasn't a member of their club.
When the contingency fee law
was enacted,
small firms rose up full of attorneys
who were just like their clients.
The ones on the Statue of Liberty,
The tired, poor, the huddled masses.
Those same people are our clients now.
And if you think you're
better than them
you're not.
You are them.
I know that.

apartment yet?

Mr. Baylor, I look forward
to some more friendly sparring.
He's a good catch for you.
All rise for Judge Kipler.
Your Honor, you should have received
our amended filing this morning.
There was no dispute
as to the facts of the case,
so we are now moving
for summary judgment.
What? [scoffs]
We haven't seen that, Your Honor.
What's that mean?
[softly] Not sure.
Did I miss something?
[softly] I don't know.
Plaintiff has offered no evidence
as to the causal relationship
between the hospital's treatment
of Donny Ray Black's death,
which was clearly due
to a drug overdose,
so we now move for immediate
entry of judgment
in the defendant's favor.
Jocelyn Stone
for the plaintiff, Your Honor.
This is absurd.
It's an ambush.
We haven't had time for full discovery.
Tell him my boy was clean.
He had the flu, that's all!
Mrs. Black, you have an attorney now,
and she will speak for you.
Your Honor, you have
all the evidence you need.
With all due respect to Mrs. Black,
her son was a lifelong drug user.
Blood tests prove that he was
admitted to the emergency room
with influenza, yes,
but also with a fair amount
of street drugs in his system.
That is a lie!
[whispers] Dot.
Ms. Stone, control your client.
Your Honor, blood tests show
only what was in Donny Ray Black's blood
at the time the test was administered,
not that drugs were in his system
before he arrived at the hospital.
Hospitals don't prescribe heroin.
But they do administer morphine.
Both opiates show up exactly
the same on a blood test.
What evidence do you have
that the hospital administered morphine?
Well, as Your Honor knows, we
Where's the genuine dispute
of fact here, Ms. Stone?
- You have to give me something.
- Well
[dramatic music]
Your Honor.
If I may?
And who are you?
What do you think you're doing?
Rudy Baylor, Your Honor.
And are you an attorney?
I'm set to take the bar next month.
Pursuant to Rule 401,
I filed a petition
with the court to practice
as a law school graduate.
Mr. Drummond, any objections?
[chuckling] Oh, I'm way too
curious to object, Your Honor,
but, um, I do reserve the right.
Go ahead then, Mr. Baylor.
Whatever you've got better be good.
- Your Honor
- [Bruiser clears throat]
We've got an independent
toxicology report
on Mr. Black's urine,
urine produced
just prior to his being rushed
to North City General by paramedics.
It shows there were
no drugs in his system
when he was admitted.
You know about this?
No, of course not.
I, uh, do have an
objection now, Your Honor.
Several, in fact.
How old is this
specimen?
How was it collected?
How can it be verified
to be that of the patient?
Mr. Baylor, what say you?
EMTs found Donny Ray Black on the floor
next to the toilet
with his pants around his legs.
I collected the urine with
my colleague, Deck Shifflet.
Really?
You want this to be your
your first moment in court?
Old piss scooped out of a toilet?
Counsel will curb the language.
And direct any objections to the court.
Your Honor, while I admire
the young man's gumption,
this is clearly inadmissible.
It's your show now.
[soft dramatic music]
Your Honor, this new report
needs to be read alongside
Mrs. Black's affidavit
that her son was clean
for the last year of his life.
Under Ray v. City of Rock Hill,
all reasonable inferences
must be viewed in our favor,
leading to one conclusion.
There is a genuine dispute
as to how Donny Ray died.
[soft upbeat music]
Your Honor?

Defendant's motion
for summary judgment is denied.

And Mr. Drummond
as even a law student can tell you,
if you want to recast your motion,
you don't do it minutes
before the hearing.

Kid's scrappy.
Yeah.
Thanks for not seeing his potential.
Worked out well for us.
Kipler was in
a strangely benevolent mood.
Someone must have upped her meds.
But you know this is a frivolous case
and a waste of your time.
I don't think Mrs. Black
sees the death of her son
as frivolous.
My client wants to go
the distance on this.
So do I.
[chuckling] No, you don't.
This road ends in a loss for you.
And I'll make that road
very long and very expensive.
But out of respect for your father,
I'm gonna do you a favor.
I think I can get
150 out of Keeley, no more.
Out of respect for my father?
How is he?
I owe him a visit.
He'd say you owe him
a lot more than that.
Tell him I said hello.
The young man seems
to have surprised you, Leo.
He certainly did.
I want to settle this. Now.
Because of that hearing?
They got lucky, that's all.
I don't want them to get lucky twice.
Settle this.
I think I can get her to take 150?
Offer 250. Be done with it.

in court, so celebrating.
I mean, it's not as sad as it looks.
Uh, congratulations.

Come here.

Um
I told you to put ice on it.

It's a lot better.
You know I love you.
Right?
Yeah.

Mrs. Black, we are all
very sorry for your loss.
Accordingly, the
Great Benefit Hospital System
is prepared to pay you $250,000
to spare you the pain of a trial.
An apology in here?
There is no apology because
the hospital did nothing wrong.
This is a generous offer
to a grieving mother.
Nothing more.
My boy is dead because of them.
I don't want your damn money.
I told you.
Satan.
Get her back here.
[footsteps]
Dot, wait.
I made Donny Ray a cake
on the one-year mark.
One year clean.
Do you know how proud he was?
How proud I was?
I'm all that boy had,
and I ain't selling him out.
But you don't care about that, do you?
You just don't understand.
I lost my brother.
[soft dramatic music]
I couldn't go into John's room
at first either.

Donny Ray was
making me a jewelry box.
Never got to finish it.
♪
Didn't know about your brother?
Well, I was there.
When he died.

The last thing he said to me was
"Take care of mom."
Dot
I didn't know Donny Ray,
but I know that if he was
anything like my brother,
he wouldn't care whether or not
some asshole apologized to you.
He would want to know you were
taken care of.

We can do that for him.

All right, you will find

Nice job.

She warned us, didn't she?
She told us he doesn't tolerate bullies.

Sorry.

She shouldn't be here.
Weren't you the one who called her?
Not her.
Her.

Sarah, let me ask you a question.
Right here, right now.
Are you a warrior?
Y-yes, absolutely.
What we do here is a blood sport.
I understand.
Are you going to be loyal
to this firm no matter what?
- I am.
- Leo?
Then Brad here will be
happy to introduce you
to our lead investigator, Jane Allen.

How much would that have made us, Deck?
80K, give or take court fees.
Look, I know you're angry,

- You did the right thing.
Are you feeling OK?
Drummond knows something we don't.
Or maybe it's that drunk doctor.
Maybe it's something else.
That was too big of an offer
for someone so certain he has a win.
♪
You sure you're ready for this?
No.
That's the smartest thing
you've said yet.
