Previously on "The Rainmaker"
You're gonna file a motion to compel
discovery on this Tissue Committee.
I could get fired.
Yeah, well, withholding discovery?
That'll get you more than fired.
I got the autopsy
from Jackie's neighbour.
Rudy, this guy is a killer.
- Who'd you tell about me?
- [crying]
You should have settled
when you had the chance.
- Why?
- Because you're gonna lose.
You can let yourself out.
There he is, the stalker.
[panting]
[screams]
You're a dead man.
Does he know where you go at night?
Please, don't come here again.
[siren wailing]
Hey.
Who the hell is this?
Oh, this is, uh, Rudy. New associate.
You should have told me first.
Pete, it's okay. Rudy is cool.
He's one of us. Rudy, this is Doc Pete.
Yeah. You got the stuff I asked for?
I got the autopsy on his mom,
but I can't get
Pritcher's personnel files.
Why not?
Because personnel files are protected.
Oh, and autopsies aren't?
- He's cool, right?
- He is cool.
- Rudy, tell him you're cool.
- I'm cool.
See? Rudy's cool.
Of course autopsies are protected,
but I have a guy for that.
He can log in.
It doesn't ring any bells.
I log in, I get tagged.
- You have my money?
- Yeah.
Ooh, by the way, I got
this rash right here,
on the back of my neck.
Now, internet says it's
eczema, but it's, like,
driving me out of my mind.
- Are you judging me?
- No, he's not judging you.
Rudy, tell him you're not judging.
Yeah, definitely not judging.
I work 12-hour shifts for no money,
and I got a girl and a baby
to take care of.
So you can take that look
and shove it up your ass.
You know what? Forget the rash.
I'm good. We're gonna go.
That's for you.
And here is an extra little
boom-boom for the baby.
Thank you, Doc Pete.
[siren wailing]
[indistinct radio chatter]
You know what? Here's a little tip.
Probably a good tip for life.
Try not to take a dump
where we eat, okay?
[tense music]
Go on without me.
What are we doing?
Rudy, talk to me. Who is that?
What are we doing?
Ru-Ru, what's going on?

Why are we following him?

Rudy, who is that guy?
That's the guy I told you about,
the one who was
in my apartment that night.
Wait a second.
Are you talking about the crazy husband?
Rudy, this is a bad idea, okay?
I'm gonna see that bad, and I'm
gonna raise it one more bad.

Hello? Hola? Guten Tag.

Son of a bitch.
- He did that to her.
- You don't know that.
- You don't think?
- Okay, you do know that.
All right, I'm just gonna
say this to you right now.
As your friend,
you do not wanna
get involved in this, Rudy.
I have seen cases
like this over the years,
and they only go in one
direction, "shi-tastrophe."
Okay, I don't think
we're on the same page here.
Hey, hey, hey. Hey, hey, listen to me.
Hey. Can I just ask you a question?
Here's a question, all right?
What is she to you, this girl?
And do you even really know her?
'Cause I'm sure she's got some friends
or family she can turn to.
And I'm not trying to be
a monster here, Rudy.
I sympathise, I do, but you have a lot
going on right now, right?
You have a big case,
and you have a girlfriend.
Not sure about the girlfriend.
Come on. It can still work out, maybe.
Probably not. Not the point.
Not the point. Now, listen to me.
Listen, the point is this.
Listen, the point is this.
That girl in there has a husband.
- A husband who beats her.
- Yes, yes.
And as tragic as that may be,
and it definitely is,
I would say I would say
that makes her extra unavailable.
That's not what this is about.
- Oh, really?
- Okay, then what is it about?

Bye, now.
I found Jane.
In a hospital out in Greenville.
She was stabbed.
Almost died in the parking lot,

- What'd she tell the police?
- I don't know.
Go find out.
You want me to visit her

I want you to deal with it.

Meanwhile, Judge Kipler
granted a hearing
on this Tissue Committee bullshit.
I got Sarah pulling case law.
You know she leaked it to her boyfriend.
If you don't trust her,
why is she still on this case?
Because it's not about
whether she's trustworthy.
It's about whether she's useful.
And you are uniquely positioned

So this hearing is in two days.
I've found plenty of applicable case law

You passed the bar,

Any surprises in there?
She died of smoke inhalation
and being burnt to a crisp.
Surprised?
Dot's waiting out there.
What are we telling her?
Everything's going well and
there's nothing new to report.
You don't wanna tell her
that her son may have been
murdered by this woman's son?
Rudy, we don't tell the client
anything we don't have to.
- This guy's a murderer.
- Prove it.
I can't yet.
The police can.
Oh. Again, with the police.
Wanna know what they're gonna tell you?
No motive, no criminal record, no proof.
And if you do get a bite,
we lose control.
Our client's case will be stayed
while they conduct their investigation.
Isn't it in the interest
of the public good
to get a murderer off the streets?
Look, we're not
in the public good business.
We're in the "get
our client paid" business.
She doesn't care about getting paid.
She wants to rip Great Benefit
from the ground, root and branch.
As long as there's
a pile of cash under it.
Is that all you care about?
- Yes.
- Yes.
What's EDDP?
Why?
Autopsy says it was
in Evalene Pritcher's blood.
What? How did I miss that?
What is it?
- Methadone.
- Methadone.
Methadone?
Voreen, bring Mrs. Black in.
Not a word about that.
[knock at door]
She's out here.
Just a sec.
- Dottie!
- Dot.
Stop.
No one's ever called you Dottie?
Never.
Welcome, Dot.
Hi, Dot.
All right.
Where are we at?
Well, we have a few developments.
There's a committee at the
hospital that investigates
situations that go sideways.
Trying to find out what they know.
Do you think they looked
into Donny Ray's case?
We are trying to get ahold
of the internal documents.
Yes, the judge granted us
a hearing on it this week.
What if you don't get them,
these documents?
We'll get them.
Uh, well, let's not promise anything,
but we should get them,
if the judge is fair.
And what if she's not?
We have other avenues.
Such as?
Donny Ray had
a roommate at the hospital.
He might have seen something.
What'd they see?
That Donny Ray had more than one nurse.
They've been hard to locate,
but we'll find them.
Yeah.
Well, where are they?
They were fired.
That, there, is what I'm talking about.
These bastards fired his nurses.
Don't that tell you something?
Yes, yes, it does.
All right.
What else we doing?
Well, if we win at this hearing,
I'll expect another settlement offer.
Well, they know where
they can shove that.
Our bank account?
That was a bad joke.
Dot, one question for you.
Did Donny Ray ever mention
a man named Melvin Pritcher?
Never heard that name before.
Okay, he was one of Donny Ray's nurses.
Why are you asking?
You think this Pritcher
did something to my boy?
We're just looking at every avenue.
What was that?
It's my case, my client.
You keep telling me that you
wanna argue this hearing,
but all you just proved was
how undisciplined you are.
I'm I'm not undisciplined.
- I was looking for motive.
- You were looking for an ally.
Look, you pay me a stipend
that barely covers my rent.
And in return, the deal was,
if I bring in a case,
- it's my client.
- I I'm sorry.
Are you gonna mansplain the terms
of your employment agreement
with my law firm?
'Cause I'm gonna need some popcorn.
Guys.
If you tell her
your theory, she's gonna go
straight to the police.
That's up to her. It's her son.
Guys. both: What?
Melvin Pritcher doesn't
have a criminal record.
We know that.
But guess who does?

set the table for you.
But the law is on our side here.
We don't have the law on our side.
You're telling me that now?
Well, I shouldn't have to tell you.
I disagree. Section 47 says that
- All right, who gives a shit?
- Listen to me.
The peer review process
is generally protected.
Look at me.
Stick with the moral argument.
Now, the judge has a son
she won't shut up about.
Use it.
We have two motions pending.
Who's up first?
Rudy Baylor. Plaintiff, Your Honour.
We'll go first.
Does defence counsel have an objection?
Sarah Plankmore for Great Benefit.
No objection, Your Honour.
Your Honour, we filed a motion
to compel discovery regarding
the peer review committee
at North City Hospital,
commonly known as the Tissue Committee,
as it may have information
relevant to our case.
Peer review confidentiality
exists to protect patients
just like Donny Ray Black.
The doctors on the committee
can't be worrying
about some contingent fee attorney
weaponising their vital work
just to make a buck.
Your Honour, I object
to the ad hominem attack.
Guys, it's early. Give it a rest.
You're boring me.
Sorry you're not entertained.
She's a mother. Use it.
Your Honour, our client has the right
to know what happened
to her only living son
- who died while on
- Section 40-71-20 of the state code
clearly protects the sanctity
of the peer review process.
That law must be read
alongside 40-71-10,
which only protects the peer
review of doctors, not nurses.
And why is that relevant here?
- Is he right?
- Because, Your Honour
No.
Our theory is that the nurses
in this case may be at fault.
Counsel is wilfully
ignoring the amendment
that clarified that statute.
Section 44-7-3-92
extends the requirement
of confidentiality to all
hospital employees,
including nurses.
Mr. Baylor, what is your response?
Your Honour, in Durham v. Vincent,
the, uh the court said that
the plain plaintiff is
Your Honour, in Durham v. Vincent,
the court said that the plaintiff
is entitled to know that
To know only the outcome
of an investigation.
The committee here took no
action, ergo, no investigation.
Because the, uh,
hospital didn't do anything
doesn't mean that
there wasn't an investigation.
- I mean, a man died.
- Again, counsel is fishing.
He is simply looking for anything
that can help his weak case
and doing it at the expense
of this court's time.
Mr. Baylor?
Uh, Your Honour.
[clears throat]
[suspenseful music]
Your Honour, we have an eyewitness
who saw a nurse putting something
into Donny Ray Black's IV bag.
Your Honour, we withdraw that statement.
No, we do not withdraw that statement.
Hang on, Mr. Baylor.
Are you contending that this
was intentional misconduct
- by the nurse?
- Are you?
Are you saying that?
And are you therefore seeking leave
to amend your complaint to add
that alternative claim?
No.
Yes, Your Honour. Yes, we are.
No, we are not, Your Honour.
We are not seeking leave to do anything.
Our theory of the case, Your Honour,
is that an unstable nurse with
a history of mental problems
Rudy? Rudy, stop.
[clears throat]
Your Honour, our case remains the same:
medical malpractice, negligence.
Nothing more.
Move to strike everything Mr. Baylor
has said from the record.
Your Honour.
You want to strike the words
of your own associate?
Well, there's no rule that says I can't.
Punish him.
He's already punished himself.
Blood on the floor.

Your Honour, this motion
should have never been made.
Mr. Baylor's inexperience and naivete

my time, and my client's time.

I'm inclined to grant it.
