as to how Donny Ray died.
No deal.
You were really great today.
She has a relationship
with this Baylor kid?

I'm gonna do you a favor.
I'd say you owe him
a lot more than that.

Hey, Pop.
- [scoffs] You look like shit.
- Sleeping okay?
Well, I got one against Leo Drummond.
- How's your case?
- It's a fish.
So settle. What's the problem?
When Leo was working me,
he made it a point to mention you.
- Me?
- [scoffs] Why me?
Clearly, he thought it
meant more than the money
he was offering.
Why is that?
Listen, Bruiser,
you need to settle the case,
whatever Leo is offering.
I need to know
everything you did for him.
In 22 years, I did plenty.
- I'm not settling.
- That's a mistake.
You already ate this case for him.
What's he got on you?
No more riddles.
Jocelyn, I'm free in a month.
Don't go making trouble.
Well, if you won't talk
to me, maybe Prince will.
You don't talk to Prince about this.
Understand?
I don't work for you anymore,

Hi, I'm Daniel, and I'm an alcoholic.
[all greeting]
I finally saw my daughter today.
Most of you know,
it's been six long months.
I got to play with her
while that goddamn woman
from the court watched us
my own daughter.
Not too close, of course.
[whispering] We shouldn't be here.
[whispering] Anybody
can attend these things.
- Mmh, my father was

- That's semantics.

- Shh!
Yeah, shh.
He liked to say addiction
was the disease of relapse.
Well, so is parenthood.
And I relapsed.
I want to be her dad again.
[applause]
Would anyone else like to share?
Thank you, Daniel.
Hey.
You're new.
Yeah.
Just feeling this thing out, you know?
Any questions, hit me up.
You know, I was kind of wondering,
as a doctor,
can you tell someone's high
just by looking at 'em?
It depends on the person.
Really? So, I mean, if I were
on smack right now,
you might not even know.
I never said I was a doctor.
Did you not? I could Did he not?
Wait, no, I-I thought
I heard you say that, too.
- Assholes!
- Hey, hey, hey, hey!
Hey, take it easy, okay?
You're the lawyers for the hospital?
No, we're I am a lawyer.
Right, from Tinley Britt,
the leeches who do
the hospital's dirty work?
Hey, listen, listen, there is no reason
to get physical here, right?
We are in a church.
I told your colleague, that
icy bitch in the suit and tie,
that I haven't seen Jackie
since she was fired.
The truth is Jackie's been
a little hard to reach.
- Right.
- We were just hoping
you might be able to steer us her way.
- A recent address maybe?
- How would I know?
She wouldn't give me the time
of day, let alone her address.
Why don't you ask her ex-boyfriend?
He's all she'd ever talk about.
Of course, the ex.
He's, um [snapping fingers]
- What's his
- No, it's, uh
You know what?
I left my notepad in the car.
- Charlie Stern.
- Right.
Now get the hell out of here
before I call the police.
All right, relax. Come on.
Good luck with your daughter.
Come on.
Jackie was one of two nurses
who treated our client's son.
It's important that we find her.
What's Jackie mixed up in?
Is she in trouble?
It's just a lawsuit, Mr. Stern.
We're, uh we might need her
as a witness.
It must be one hell of a lawsuit
because this is the second time
someone's knocked on my door.
Is that right? Who knocked first?
Well, she didn't give a name.
She just said she was
an investigator or something.
Kind of icy, in a suit and tie?
[chuckles] That's her.
You know, uh, Jackie moved
out of her apartment,
but she didn't leave
a forwarding address.
Do you guys know where
she might have moved to?
Well, like I said to that woman,
I haven't heard from Jackie in weeks.
You stayed in touch
since you split up, right?
Yeah, we stayed friends. Yeah.
Friends, my ass.
She may as well have slept between us.
- Amber.
- Don't "Amber" me.
Jackie's not my problem,
and she is not yours either.
Amber, I swear to God
Look, we really need to find Jackie,
but we don't want to cause any trouble.
Oh, no, no, no, no. That's Jackie's job.
Jackie, uh, she took Amber
and my marriage pretty hard.
I tried to be her friend, but she's
Whiny and pathetic.
[slurping]
Okay, so you guys you have our card.
If you hear from her,
will you pass along our info?
- Sure, yeah.
- Great.
Thanks a ton.
- We done?
- Yeah.
[ominous music]
♪
Jackie, what have you
gotten yourself into?
[horn honking, cars passing]
I've done a ton of mock depos.
"Mock depos."
Stop, my nipples are getting hard.
I don't understand. Why
Because the doctor is
at the heart of our case.
Because a multimillion-dollar
lawsuit hinges
on what we get out of him.
So he will definitely not be
the first person you ever depose.
- Okay, when was he born?
- Who?
Donny Ray Black. When was he born?
November 29, 1994.
So you know he was born
with a heart murmur?
- Is that relevant?
- Oh, it shouldn't be.
Disappeared when he was 5.
But the other side, they will
try to hammer us with it.
Okay, great, so you know
a couple things.
I'll get up to speed.
I'm sure you're aware that
Donny was a straight-A student,
starting forward
on the Jackson High basketball team
till his senior year
when he broke his wrist.
His doctor prescribed Vicodin,
then reupped him six times,
no questions asked.
That's probably what led
to his first addiction.
Admitted to North City General
the day he died
at 5'9", 160 pounds,
red blood cell count,
5.9 cells per microliter,
resting heart rate, 85 BPM, and
blood pressure, 80 over palp.
But you know all this, right?
[footsteps departing]
Now my nipples are hard.

I swear, I'll pay you back.
All these people
asking questions, Jackie

Why didn't you go to the police?

The tox screen
I ordered came back positive
- for morphine.
- Did you or anyone
on the nursing staff
give Donny Ray morphine?
No, the only way this patient
overdosed on drugs
is if he came into the hospital
with them already in his system.
How could you possibly
know that unless you were
- in his room every minute?
- Common sense.
Well, how often did
you check on Donny Ray
- after he was admitted?
- Three times.
And how many patients do you
usually see during your shift?
Typical night, 60 to 70.
That's a lot of bodies to keep track of.
That's the job.
How's Karen Horton doing?
- Who?
- Karen.
She came in with head trauma
from a car accident.
- You don't remember her?
- Objection, relevance.
This isn't a trial.
He still has to answer the question.
- Is that true?
- Yeah.
Um
yes, now I do.
- Um, what did you do for her?
- I ordered her an MRI.
- You recall doing that?
- Yes, absolutely.
I'm sorry.
See, I've got this wrong.
It says here all the all the victims
were brought to Charleston General.
She was never a patient of yours.
- Dirty trick.
- I agree.
Bruiser, can you please
get control of this?
I think he's doing just great.
I can't remember every patient
- who comes through those doors.
- The azaleas.
Am I deposing him, or am I deposing you?
I remember your client, okay?
He had azaleas in his room.
I'm allergic.
Every time I went in to see
him, I couldn't stop sneezing.
You know you can just
stick your hand up his ass
so you can operate his mouth easier.
That's good. That's on the record.
Doctor, what time was Donny Ray Black
- admitted to the hospital?
- 6:00 p.m.
Two of the nurses who treated Donny Ray,
ER Nurse Melvin Pritcher
and ICU Nurse Jackie Lemancyzk,
no longer work for North City General.
- Do you find that curious?
- Objection, leading.
Again, he has to answer.
Critical-care nurses
suffer a high burnout rate.
Ever have someone's life in your hands?
Is that why Nurse Lemancyzk was fired?
- I wouldn't know.
- No?
I have one more question, Doctor.
Do you require supervision
treating your patients?
What?
A court requires it when you
visit your own daughter, right?
Okay! We're finished.
Nice job, Bruiser.
This circus
[door opens]
[exhales sharply]
Nice job.
They have a credibility problem
with that doctor.
I wouldn't be surprised if they
came back with a bigger offer.
Why'd you ask what time
Donny Ray was admitted?
The azaleas.
Dot wasn't told her son was in
the hospital until he was dead,
and even if she was,
the fact he wasn't admitted
- until 6:00 p.m
- The azaleas weren't his.
So he must have had a roommate.
And a roommate is a witness.
The hospital will never give
us his name HIPAA violation.
You know who's not bound by HIPAA?

No, not him, a-another guy.
Wait, what?
You saw another doctor giving him meds?
Uh, a nurse, a male nurse.
He came in and started
changing his medication.
How did he do that?
He injected something into his IV bag.
You got to be very clear

You're sure about that?
It was not the flower hater?
No, man, a nurse like, a bigger guy.
Yeah. Yeah, yeah, that's him.

Did you get the security cams?
No, the hospital wipes
the footage every 72 hours.

- Ross Cho.

We're gonna need a lot more
than an anesthetized teenager.
Drummond will turn him
inside out on cross.
How about a suspicious heart attack?
If we can tie Melvin
to Roberta Caracas
Yes, Jackie Lemancyzk's neighbor, right?
If we can tie Pritcher to her death
That's quite a leap.

- No.
- No.
Not yet, not until we can firm this up.
Deck, see if you can get
the neighbor's autopsy results.

We're looking at homicide.

Hey, Ross. Hey. Thanks for coming down.
- Appreciate it.
- No worries, man. Who are you?
Hey, uh, we represent
the family of Donny Ray Black.
You shared a room with him, right?
North City General, night he died.
Sorry, I-I really don't know
anything about that.
Hey, whoa, wait.
Donny Ray was just
a little older than you.
And his mom she's a mess.
She needs closure.
Anything you can tell us
it'd mean a lot to her.
[sighs] All right.
Look, I was really out of it.
I was coming down
from anesthesia after surgery.
- Yeah, what'd you, uh
- what'd you have surgery for?
- A condition called torsion.
- It's no biggie.
What, you mean testicular torsion?
My second cousin had that.
He had to have one of his
balls removed.
- You know what
- Well, hey, sorry.
- Right? We're very sorry.
- Yes, we are very sorry
- Sorry.
- About your ball.
Your hospital roommate
we just want to ask you
about what you saw.
- Can you show him Donny?
- Yeah.
You recognize him?
Yeah. Yeah, except he wasn't smiling.
- He was messed up.
- Yeah.
Do you remember anyone else
coming into the room that night?
Sure. Doctors and nurses
came in all night long.
Any names?
No names, but, uh, there was a nurse
who kept waking me up to take my temp.
- This her?
- Yeah, yeah.
She came in four or five times,
checked on me and your guy.
- Right.
- Anyone else?
There was a douchebag doctor
who wanted the flowers that
my mom sent out of the room.
Yeah, we, uh we know that guy.
- This guy?
- Yep. Yeah, yeah. That's him.
Yeah. Yeah, now did you see
him give your roommate
any meds?
No, not him, a-another guy.
Wait, what?
You saw another doctor giving him meds?
Uh, a nurse, a male nurse.
He came in and started
changing his medication.
How did he do that?
He injected something into his IV bag.
You got to be very clear
with us right now.
You're sure about that?
It was not the flower hater?
No, man, a nurse like, a bigger guy.
Yeah. Yeah, yeah, that's him.
I, uh, heard him whisper to your guy
"It's okay, I'm a nurse,"
which [scoffs]
Creeped me out a little, if I'm honest.
[chuckles]
Thank you, Ross, truly.
- We really appreciate it.
- Thank you.
This isn't a negligence suit anymore.
- It's murder.
- So your theory is
Pritcher waltzes
into Donny Ray Black's room
and injects him with morphine?
He wasn't even supposed to be upstairs.
There's no reason for an ER nurse
to be anywhere near admitted patients.
Boss, we got this.
Dial M for murder and Maserati
as in the one I will be buying
with our settlement dough.
Well, you might want to dial
another M for maybe,
which is our chance
of actually proving this.
Did you get the security cams?
No, the hospital wipes
the footage every 72 hours.
- So we will just bring in
- Ross Cho.
Uniball to testify.
We're gonna need a lot more
than an anesthetized teenager.
Drummond will turn him
inside out on cross.
How about a suspicious heart attack?
If we can tie Melvin
to Roberta Caracas
Yes, Jackie Lemancyzk's neighbor, right?
If we can tie Pritcher to her death
That's quite a leap.
Guys, we got to call the police
before he kills somebody else.
- No.
- No.
Not yet, not until we can firm this up.
Deck, see if you can get
the neighbor's autopsy results.
- "Autopsy"?
- We don't have time for that.
We're looking at homicide.
You don't think that's
why Drummond is so eager
to make this case disappear?
His client is guilty
of criminal conspiracy.

I wasn't gonna come, but I thought

I would hear you out.
- I had a visit from the FBI.
- Hmm.
But, of course, you knew that.
How would I know that?
Whatever you think
you're doing, it won't work.
I'm not doing anything.
But, uh, if I were, the fact
that we're both sitting here
would suggest that,
in fact, it is working.
I'm gonna bail you out, Leo.
Really?
For old time's sake.
I'm willing to settle this case.
Good. I think it's a very
generous offer.
Oh, no, you misunderstand me.
I have an offer for you.
Call off the FBI,
and I'll convince my client
to settle with the hospital
- for $80 million.
- [scoffs]
Did you drag me out here to play games?
Melvin Pritcher's a murderer.
He killed Donny Ray Black, and
you and your client know it.
$80 million.

lawsuit against the hospital?
That is real.
It's my case. I brought it in.
I found it.
