Get ready for some major revelations as we dive into the thrilling finale of 'The Rainmaker'! A tale of justice, secrets, and a cast of characters that will leave you on the edge of your seat.
For those who have devoured John Grisham's novel or witnessed the cinematic adaptation, the finale of 'The Rainmaker' still held some shocking surprises. TV Insider caught up with the talented cast and creative minds behind the show to unravel the biggest moments and answer our burning questions.
Let's start with a recap: Melvin Pritcher, played by the brilliant Dan Fogler, agreed to testify against the hospital, seeking revenge for his mother's death. His testimony took an unexpected turn when he confessed to multiple murders, including the son of Rudy's client. The tension escalated as he attacked Leo Drummond, portrayed by John Slattery, leaving everyone in shock.
Sarah Plankmore, brought to life by Madison Iseman, was deeply affected by the attack on Leo, but her loyalty to her client remained unwavering, even under pressure from Rudy. Meanwhile, Brad Noonan, played by Wade Briggs, faced the consequences of his actions, as he was cornered by the FBI and confronted Leo. Sarah approved of Leo's move, showing a glimpse of her complex moral compass.
As the case progressed, Sarah encouraged Wilfred Keeley, played by Hugh Quarshie, to testify. During cross-examination, she masterfully shifted the blame onto Brad, showcasing her strategic thinking. With Bruiser's encouragement, Rudy decided to call Leo as a witness, leading to a pivotal moment in the trial.
Sarah delivered a powerful closing argument, discrediting the witnesses, but the jury's verdict favored Dot Black, played by Karen Bryson, with a multi-million dollar settlement. Dot pledged to use the money for treatment centers, while Rudy bought his beloved bar and Deck, portrayed by P.J. Byrne, decided to give the bar exam another shot, armed with Rudy's lucky coin.
Now, let's dive into the burning questions that have left fans intrigued:

Madison Iseman believes Sarah is paving her own path, but her morality has certainly been tested. Is she willing to continue down this path or find her own way in the legal world? The audience is left to ponder.
