The Rainmaker (2025) s01e08 Episode Script
Eyes of Opportunity

Previously on "The Rainmaker"
Bruiser, there's a killer on the loose.
I gotta take this son of a bitch.
We are the only ones that know it.
That doesn't weigh on you at all?
Last night was a lot of fun.
Jackie Lemancyzk brought
her concerns to you
about Melvin Pritcher, that he caused
the death of Donny Ray Black.
The Tissue Committee found
no evidence of wrongdoing.
Welcome back.
Maybe submission's your kink, Brad.
Something tells me Sarah wants the gun.
The firm wants to support me.
Let me support the firm.
- Dad.
- You're not breaking the law.
You're testing how elastic it is.
What's in those documents?
Do you know if Jackie may have
hidden something at your house?
No, I don't think so.
- You can't fire me.
- It's not personal.
You're bringing in someone else.
You found three bugs in there?
It's the Feds.
You know who that is?
Your father needs you to
watch someone for a few days.
Bruiser, say hello to Rosalie.
I need to know what
my father was into, Bobby.
We had him and Prince on a wire.

Take my hand ♪
[vocalizing]
Sorry, just restocking.
Didn't know you came in.
What can I get you?
I'll take a club soda.
Diet Coke.
We know your boss.
Yeah, Prince isn't here right now.
We're talking about Jocelyn Stone.
How much do you know about
Ms. Stone and her father?
Who are you guys?
Better question is, who are you?
What's that supposed to mean?
Do you know who you're working for?
I'll ask you again.
Who are you?
I'm Special Agent Cutler.
This is Agent Cistulli.
I don't think I wanna talk
to you guys without a lawyer.
But you are a lawyer,
Mr. Baylor, aren't you?
You can just listen.
Maybe you've heard about Rosalie Sutton.
A few years back,
she was a whistleblower
in a case against
Greenland-Yarrow Group,
the fertilizer company.
Lyman Stone is getting out
of prison today
for witness tampering in the case.
Rosalie Sutton was the witness.
We found her body
two weeks ago, murdered.
I still don't understand
why you guys are here.
We just want you to know
who you're working for.
Really?
You think Bruiser
sorry, Jocelyn Stone
has something to do with this?
Rudy, take my card.
If you know anything, hear anything
get on the right side of this.
Is this why you guys
are bugging our offices?
Interesting.
Why is that interesting?
We're not bugging your offices.

Hello?
Rosalie?
I can't get her to stop.
Do you know what to do?
Uh, how about a Klonopin?
Kidding ish.
Maybe she's hungry.
No, I fed her.
And I changed her.
I have to use the bathroom.
Do you mind holding her for a minute?
Oh, I this really isn't my area.
Please?
[sighs]
I'll just be a minute.
[baby crying]
Hey.
Hey.
[baby quieting]
Hmm.
That's it?
I'll let you keep it if you shut up.
[baby babbling softly]
What did you do?
Negotiated.
- Don't you wanna ask me
- Definitely not, mm-mm.
I don't even wanna know your last name.
I was asked to give you
a bed for two days.
You get picked up tomorrow night,
then we say goodbye, and that's it.
Can you do me one favor?
Unlikely.
I wanna leave her with my sister.
She lives in Summerville.
Once I'm settled and it's safe,
she'll bring her to me.
I I I can't help you. I'm sorry.
I've already done more than I should.
She's just a baby.
And
I'm scared.

[alarm blaring]
Pop.
I was expecting Prince.
Yeah, well, he called.
Said he'd understand, and that
you'd be happy to see me anyway.
I'm always happy to see you.
Give your old man a hug.
We're not alone.
- FBI?
- Yeah.
- They bugged my office.

Bruiser, there's a
Who are you?
J. Lyman Stone. Do you work for me?
No, I work for Bruiser.
Bruiser works for me, so you do too.
- You're Baylor.
- Oh, good.
You two have met.
Could I have my desk back, please?
Uh, I need to talk to you.
All right. These are all of them.
Obviously, I took the batteries out.
What do you wanna talk about?
Those.
They're not FBI bugs.
That's what I was gonna say.
And how would you know that?
They came to talk to me.
The Feds?
What'd they say?
Can we talk alone?
You are alone.
We're your attorneys now,
so you have privilege.
You've been disbarred, remember?
Come on, Pop.
Go get some coffee
or something, both of you.
- Rudy and I need a minute.
- Yeah, come on, big guy.
When was the last time you had a donut?
There's a new place called Bake Shop.
You're gonna love it.
A little strawberry frosting on the top
over organic strawberries ooh, Nelly.
It's magic.
- What's up?
- They found her.
Who?
Rosalie Sutton.
She was murdered.
They think Lyman did it.
My father's a lot of unsavory things,
- but he's not a murderer.
- Sure about that?
Well, I'm sure
it's none of your business.
What do you want me to tell the FBI?
I want you to tell them the truth,
that you don't know what
the hell they're talking about.
So we managed to get
our hands on the files,
and it seems one of the missing
nurses, Jackie Lemancyzk,
brought them her suspicion
that the other missing nurse,
Melvin Pritcher was
you ready for this
- murdering patients
- [scoffs]
One of them being our client's son.
Isn't this nuts?
[door opens]
Everything all right?
Yeah. Everything's fine.
If it's not the Feds
bugging this place, who is it?
I have a hell of a case here.
Yeah. And you wanted me to settle it.
[sighs] One thing's for sure.
- Our client
- My client.
Our client is not their biggest problem.
Who is?
The families of all the other
patients this psycho murdered.
All of them will go after
Great Benefit if we win.
So can you? Win?
- Yeah.
- No.
Not yet.
They don't know that.
That's why they look
at this little baby case
as a potential monster.
And what do you do if you know a baby
will grow up to be a monster?
You bludgeon it in its crib.
[suspenseful music]
That's a little aggressive.
Leo had the office bugged.
And he knows everything
you've talked about in here.
What do you need to win?
We need to find Jackie Lemancyzk.
[intense music]
♪
All rise.
In the matter of The State
versus Melvin Pritcher,
the Court of General Sessions,
Ninth Circuit
is now in session,
the Honorable Judge Monroe presiding.
The guy's a murderer.
There's no way he's gonna
willingly show up to court.
His mother is the only one
he didn't kill.
You do not know that.
Saw it in his eyes.
He's desperate to find out
who killed his mom
and prove his innocence.
The defendant is in violation
of 17-15-90, failure to appear,
and we ask the court to immediately
issue a bench warrant
for this dangerous individual.
Your Honor, that would be premature,
and I object to the characterization
of my client as dangerous.
Potentially dangerous.
You happy now?
Quinn's already working the judge.
Mr. Nunley, this is a murder trial.
Your Honor, I assure you, my client
is aware of the gravity
of these proceedings.
I'm telling you, our boy's in the wind.
He'll show.
How confident are you, huh?
You "half a rack of ribs" confident?
Full rack.
The place with the succotash?
I'm gonna issue
a warrant for his arrest.
- Oh.
- I'm here.
I'm here, I'm here.
- I'm sorry.
- Shit.
So nice of your client
to make time in his day for us.
I'm so sorry.
You know, I've never had succotash.
Now, if it's all right with him
Don't gloat.
I'd like to proceed.
Thank Christ you remembered the oxygen.
You were late because of your
condition, you understand?
I'm so sorry.
Your Honor, my client apologizes.
His nerves about the enormity
of the charge against him
seem to have exacerbated his condition.
The defense is ready to proceed.
[suspenseful music]
Ah, spring rolls.
They were always our favorite.
I don't eat fried food.
[scoffs] You're different.
A few months with that kid
and you change your spots?
His optimism is irritating.
But our fish just turned
into a possible whale.
We're a volume business.
Like I taught you,
sign them up, settle them out,
buy a new suit, rinse, repeat.
You still smell like prison soap,
and you're gonna dictate my cases?
Don't tell me you started without me.
What the hell is this?
Leo and I came to an agreement.
You came to an agreement?
I still own this firm.
1 million.
Which is more money than
you ever dreamed of.
And how much is he
kicking to you on the side?
200?
Come on, your punchy little
team had a couple good days,
and we acknowledged it in the offer.
And your punchy little team
bugged my office.
Not only does that
get me a win in court,
it gets you prison time.
Bugging opposing counsel's office
would be extremely illegal.
Let's all settle down.
No, I don't think I will.
And the answer is no.
I don't want your money.
But the client might.
You don't know her.
She's a street fighter.
She's more like you than him.
Jocelyn, how are you gonna
feel when you lose
and you turned down a $1 million offer?
You two.
You oughta freshen up your act.
[clears throat]
She knows she doesn't have a choice.
Now on to our other issue.
You went to Prince
before going through me.
Well, you were indisposed.
He doesn't work for you
unless I get my beak wet.
And I thought prison
would have softened you.
Not a bit.

I made another settlement offer
1 million.
That's surprising.
Keeley didn't wanna go to trial,
but I convinced him
to prep, just in case.
I'm ready for him.
I've been going through the dep
Sarah will do this one.
Leo, I handle trial prep.
Not this time.
Keeley requested her, and
the customer is always right.
This isn't a department store.
You always say the client doesn't
know what's best for them.
But I do.
I know this case better than anyone.
And yet we may well go to trial
because of what they won
in the last depo
with the witness that you prepped.
That's on me too.
Look, it was a team effort.
Would you have piped up for credit
if the depo had gone well
and I was complimenting him?
No, I wouldn't have.
Look, whatever happened
between you two in London,
leave it in London.
Jesus, Leo.
You're not here to have fun.
You're not here to make friends.
You are here to dominate.
That's how you make partner.
And if the client asks
for the junior associate,
even though the senior
associate stands willing
and able, what do you tell him?
That she'll be ready.
Good.
You wanna be useful?
Prep her so she can prep him.

There's a fine line between
affable and dimwitted.
You don't want the jury to think that
bad things can happen on
his watch without him knowing.

Most of witness prep is
about managing the client.
He needs to trust you.
That part, you've done already
clearly.
He has an ego.
He wants to believe he knows everything.

I do?
Intelligence, knowledge, confidence.
It's very seductive.

You might have mentioned this earlier.
Mentioned what?
The fact that Prince was
involved in the case that
landed your father in prison?
It didn't seem relevant at the time.

I think I am entitled to a little
more information, don't you?
[sighs] All right.
What do you wanna know?
What happened back then?
[scoffs]
What happened?
[soft tense music]
All right.
I let Rosalie Sutton stay
with me for a couple of nights
while they worked out a plan
to get her into Canada.
Okay, Prince picked her up.
That was the last I heard of it.
And then she wound up dead.
- Yeah.
- Did your father kill her?
Or was it Prince?
I don't know anymore.
You're missing the point, kid.
What do you mean?
So long as there was no body,
there was no proof of homicide.
But now
She hid in your house for two days,
which makes you an accomplice to murder.
And Leo knows.
Yeah, but it's just crazy.
Prince and Melvin?
What's crazy? They did it before.
They're doing it again.
First Rosalie, now Melvin.
Except for one thing.
My father just negotiated
a settlement with Leo.
- What are you talking about?
- A settlement?
Yeah, 1 million.
- As in dollars?
- No, kittens.
Without an admission,
she's never gonna go for that.
Yeah, not even for seven figures.
They're scared.
Which is why they're hedging their bet.
Get rid of Melvin and Jackie.
Make sure we don't have a case.
Yeah, but you guys said
you didn't see Jackie.
Maybe they killed her already.
Or Melvin did.
[sighs]
We're toast.
[sighs]
It's over.
All of Leo's games
does it ever bother you?
Leo has a reason for everything.
Iron sharpens iron, right?
Plus, he was right.
We should have known
all of Bernie Manfred's
dirty little secrets, and we didn't.
Yeah.
That's why we're not gonna
make the same mistake
with you and Keeley.
I got it.
Look, in his depo, Keeley said
he didn't recall the details
of his meeting with Manfred.
Plausible.
He's the CEO of a huge corporation.
Aren't you a little curious about what
actually happened in that meeting?
What do you think happened?
I don't know.
But what they think happened
is that Keeley's VP told him
a nurse in his hospital
was killing people.
That's what Rudy is gonna run with.
And what if he's right?
I've been on this case
a lot longer than you,
been in those meetings.
Manfred never brought this up to Keeley.
Yeah, how can he be so sure?
Grandpa energy.
I don't believe for a second
he's capable
of that kind of cover-up.
And if we do our jobs right,
neither will the jury.

Hey, did I misread you last night?
'Cause I thought you were into it.
I don't know what game
you think you're playing.
But you're only playing with yourself.
But I imagine that's
familiar territory for you.
Was it too rough for you?
I I thought you'd like it,
given your behavior.
My behavior?
Every time he baits you, you lap it up.
And I stand there and take it.
Hmm.
There it is.
You passed the bar
a month ago, sweetheart.
Mm-hmm.
You're only at this firm
because your daddy
- got Leo into Augusta.
- [scoffs]
I've been here since
you were on acne pills
and have been point on nothing
but tier one accounts
for the past two years.
We are not the same.
No, we are definitely
not the same, sweetheart.
You think you know
what this case is about.
- You don't, trust me.
- Hmm.
You're not even close.
You're not ready for this,
not by a long shot.
Leo thinks I'm ready.
What did I tell you?
Leo won't ever believe you're a player
until you leave blood on the floor.
Are you prepared to do that?
'Cause that's what it takes.
Not just a bottle of wine
and seduction of your boss.
It takes blood.
And not just yours.
[tense music]
Don't worry.
I'll be here to put the toys away
when you're done playing dress-up.

Hello again, Mr. Keeley.
Call me Ishmael.
"Moby-Dick." Well-played.
So should we get started?
Of course.
The cross is designed to trip you up.
They'll attack your memory,
your perception,
and credibility.
[sighs]
- You don't need any of this.
- [chuckles]
You are well-versed in the cocktail
of facts and I-do-not-recalls.
[chuckles]
Can we speak plainly, Mr. Keeley?
I wish you would.
Tell me what you're afraid of.
I worry about losing, of course.
Is that all?
No.
[pensive music]
See if you know this one.
"No man knows how bad he is
till he has tried very hard to be good."
You finally stumped me.
CS Lewis.
I cheated a bit.
It's not an opening line.
Sarah.
Hmm?
You're young.
You haven't made
your worst decisions yet.
I made one last night.
[chuckles]
You think we're defined by them,
our worst decisions?
I think people are more
complicated than that.
Does anyone still call you Philly Billy?
I haven't heard that name in years.
[chuckles]
What else do you know?
You lived in South Philadelphia,
30th between Reed and Dickinson,
till your parents moved you
to Charleston freshman year.
The kids at your new school
called you Philly Billy,
which you hated.
You even got suspended
for punching a boy in the face
when he called you that.
And a year later, he was my best friend.
But you already knew that, didn't you?
Mr. Keeley,
what really happened
at North City Hospital?
♪
All I tried to do was protect
this thing that I built.
[sighs]
Which is why you didn't
want anyone to know
what Melvin Pritcher did.
Mr. Keeley, everything we
discuss in this room is privileged.
"And only those who
try to resist temptation
know how strong it is."
CS Lewis again?
All right.
You've shown me what you've learned.
I'm gonna tell you what I've learned.
We are, in fact,
defined by our decisions.
And you're staring at one right now.
And I'm giving you what
no one gave me in that moment
an off-ramp.
That's why you asked for me.
Get away from this place, Sarah.
Get away from people like Leo.
[scoffs] Like me.
You look in the mirror,
and you think you see an evil man.
♪
But I see Philly Billy,
the boy who wanted to play pro baseball
until the summer he volunteered
at a local hospital,
and the thought of saving lives
awoke something in him.
He went to college premed
until he realized that wasn't his gift.
His gift was numbers and imagination.
[chuckles]
When you took over Great Benefit,
it was three hospitals in two counties.
You turned it into 14 hospitals
in four states.
You not only built an empire,
you built a lifeline to every
community Great Benefit serves.
That's what you say when you're
on the stand, Mr. Keeley.
You let them know who you are.
[sighs]
You're gonna be there?
Of course.
I'm your lawyer.
In the lead, we see Dixon breaking over,
wing on the wing for a deep 3.
Hey.
Grab yourself a drink, man.
The game's on.
All right, I can see the Eagles starting
to stretch it out a little,
and the Crusaders looking
a bit tired in the form of Wayne.
[announcer continuing indistinctly]
Did you do it?
Do what?
Do what? What is this?
What, did we just
are we pretending it didn't happen?
Do you realize what you've done?
Aside from the obvious,
which is, frankly, impossible
for me to get my head around,
that guy was our best chance
of winning this case.
I don't know what you're talking about.
But neither do you.
[soft tense music]
Understand?
I wasn't the only one there,
Prince, remember?
Look, Deck's been around a long time.
I ain't worried about him.
Do I need to be worried about you?
I like you, Rudy.
Helped you when you needed it.
Hell, I gave you a gun,
and a guy ended up dead.
That's what friends do for each other.
So let's stay friends, huh?

Thank you.
Judge Kipler croaked.
- What?
- Oh, yeah, she had a stroke.
Apparently it's her second one.
What do you mean, we're dropping it?
How do you go from
a million-dollar offer
to dropping it?
He paid you off, didn't he?
The client turned
the offer down, remember?
They only made the offer
because they were worried.
Unless they don't have a reason
to be worried anymore.
Something you wanna tell us?
You keep your mouth shut.
You should listen to her.
We're dropping the case.
That's all you need to know.
- You can't do that.

The old lady signed with J. Lyman Stone,
not Jocelyn Stone.
It's my firm, my decision,

It's actually not your decision.
Excuse me?
Dot did sign with J. Lyman Stone.
As of one hour ago, she fired you.
She signed with me.
