Just Because You're Paranoid

I want to save her life, and
I don't know how to pay for it.
Previously on "Rebel"
Please, just take my college fund.
You cannot tell your dad.
Let's just get it out of the way.
Give me a quick kiss.
REBEL: Helen made it
through her surgery.
Misha noticed deterioration
on the valve.
There could be something leaking
into the bloodstream.
Misha's gonna study it.
You think he's settling, Luke?
Oh, come on. Cruz is going broke.
You think he's settling,
needs to settle.
Hey, Cruz. What's the word?
CRUZ: No deal.
W-What do you mean, you can't find it?
I mean it's not here.

The hell you doing out here
honking in the dead of night?
REBEL: You didn't aner your
phone, and we've got news.
And your house could be bugged.
This couldn't wait till morning?
The office could be bugged, too.
I checked. They didn't find anything.
You used the cheap guys.
We need the expensive guys.
Yeah, of course.
You really think Stonemore's
spying on us?
Don't you?
How'd they know about Helen's surgery?
I think Amir might've told ssy.
[SCOFFS] He said he didn't.
Not intentionally. Accidentally.
He said he didn't.
Okay, whatever. It's chilly, I'm tired.
What's the news?
For the past two weeks,
we've been investigating
everyone that could have
stolen Helen's valve.
It's gotta be one of these three people.
♪
Maybe Ziggy mentione Helen's s.
SEAN: Uh, who's Helen?
She's a client, Sean,
and something went missing
after her surgery,
so we're wondering if you were
at the hospital that night.
Hang on. Are you accusing Sean
of stealing Helen's heart valve?
No, no, no, no.
Nobody's accusing anybody of anything.
What if I stole it?
You couldn't have.
You were helping deliver
Maddie's baby until 7:00.
You investigated me?
We investigated everyone.
Helen's heart valve went missing
sometime between 4:00 and 6:00 P.M.
A car with your license plate
was in the hospital parking lot
between 5:00 and 6:00.
So we need to ask yo once again
Were you at the hospital that night?
♪
Oh. Hello. You're in my office.
I'd say make yourself at home,
but you already have.
Got a minute?
I'm just getting off call
d was gonna go home
and take an Epsom salt bath,
but you look serious and scary
Did something bad happen?
That's what we want to know.
Hospital call logs show that
in the past two weeks,
seven separate calls
were made from your office
to the offices of
the Stonemore Corporation.

[SIGHS]
- [KNOCK ON DOOR]
- CRUZ: Come in.
I got you donuts and coffee,
and you can dunk 'em
like you're gonna dunk him.
[LAUGHS] Get it?
Duncan? Dunk him?
It's corny, I know.
[DOOR CLOSES]
What do you get a guy for a deposition?
- I don't know.
- I'm new to dating lawyers.
I need to show you something.
Okay.
- [KEYBOARD CLACKS]
- This is footage
from a video camera outside the hospital
the night that my ient
valve went missing.
[KEYBOARD CLACKS]
When Rebel showed me this,
I was shocked.
This case is worth a lot of money,
and I don't put it past
Stonemore to hire someone
to get inside to get information.
And you think that's me?
I don't know, but I gotta ask.
What were you doing in
the hospital that night?
He was at the hospital to pick me up,
and I texted him that I got
a ride from one of you guys.
Can I see the texts?
I don't have it anymore.
Zig, we found out some other
stuff that makes us nervous.
Like what?
Well, Sean,
you said you were from Encino,
but there's no record of you
at Encino High.
There is, however, a record
of you at Hollywood High,
and not a very good record.
You were expelled for stealing
equipment from the computer lab.
And the home address that
you gave Hollywood High
is actually a weed dispensary,
which I'm assuming is not your home.
So, as Ziggy's parents,
we need to know some truth,
because there are
an awful lot of lies here.
Wow.
Okay.
I've been so nervous to tell you this
that I even practiced with my therapist,
and this is not how we planned,
but here goes.
I had breast cancer five years ago.
I'm in remission, but I have BRCA,
and I'm planning on getting
a double mastectomy,
and I was at the hospital for
a consultation with my surgeon.
And I was gonna tell you tonight
before we went to bed together,
but that is not gonna be
happening anymore,
'cause trust is a big deal with me.
Kinda out the window.
I'm gonna go now.
What's the name of your oncologist?
♪
Ziggy said you used to be a cop,
but you aren't anymore.
That's right.
But I assume you have a gun.
So if I get up and walk out
that door right now,
you're not gonna shoot me?
[SCOFFS] No, of course not, Sean.
Cool.
Nice, guys.
Really nice.
I went to medical school and
then did five years of residency
and two years of a fellowship,
and you think I'd go through all that
but really be on the take from a company
that's trying to hurt people?
Well, what were those calls about?
I'm not a spy.
I can't believe you'd question
my integrity like that.
Misha, I investigated my husband,
and my own daughter,
but none of them made
seven calls to Stonemore.
I know this is terrible and intrusive,
but so are people dying because
we can't win a damn lawsuit.
I don't understand the corrosion
I saw on Helen's valve,
so I've been calling colleagues
trying to figure it out.
No one has any answers,
but a few people did say
that about two years ago,
there was a woman,
a Stonemore sales rep,
who was calling around
warning surgeons not to use
the valve, that it was flawed.
A whistle blower?
Her name's Kate Foster.
I called Stonemore to get
her contact number.
First person I spoke to
said there was no ex sales rep
by that name,
so I called again and again and again
and again and again and again.
Was that six "again" s?
Finally, someone admitted that, yes,
there was a woman named
Kate Foster who was a sales rep
who was fired for failing a drug test,
and she lives in Long Beach now.
So I called Kate Foster,
but she wouldn't talk to me.
She accused me of working for Stonemore
and trying to ruin her life.
So thiis the sond time this week
that I've been accused of being a spy.
[CELLPHONE CLICKING]
- [SIGHS]
- [ELEVATOR BELL DINGS]
- [CELLPHONE BLOOPS]
- There. I just sent you
her contact information.
Now I'm really gonna go home
and take a bath.
[CELLPHONE CHIMES]
Mm-hmm.
Wanna go to Long Beach?
- Let'do it.
- Let's do it.
[SEAGULLS CRYING]
[INDISTINCT SHOUTING IN DISTANCE]
[KNOCK ON DOOR]
KATE: What do you want?
Uh, Kate Foster?
My associate and I are involved in
a lawsuit against
the Stonemore Corporation.
We wanted to ask you a few questions.
I'm calling the cops.
I've had it with you Stonemore maggots.
[CHUCKLES] Oh, no, honey.
We don't work for Stonemore.
We're trying to take 'em down,
and we need your help.
Right. I'm not an idiot.
Show her who you are.
[CELLPHONE CLICKS]
Kate, my name is Annie Flynn Ray Bello.
I'm so of known for
fighting for people like you.
Here we go.
[LOCKS DISENGAGING]
[DOOR SLAMS, LOCKS CLICK]
Yeah, I-I don't think you're
getting your phone back.
Fi Fine! Okay, fine.
I'm sorry I asked.
So, Nate says that
there is an oncologist
with the name Angela gave,
but HIPAA regulations protect
a patient's privacy.
[CELLPHONE CHIMES]
[SIGHS]
Rick?
Check it out.
He made his own bread.
You know, there's nothing more
that I want for you
than a man that bakes his own bread,
but I have to ask you again
Did you check him out?
I double and triple checked him out.
Believe me, it is not Rick.
Angela hates Cruz now.
[SCOFFS] Misha really hates us.
Oh, Ziggy hates us the most.
But it still could be Sean.
If it is?
If corporations are now
hiring underage people
to seduce the newly sober
children of their adversaries
to win lawsuits?
I don't know if this is
a world I want to live in.
[DOOR OPENS]
You guys check out.
You coming in or not?
Yes.
How long have you been employed
at Stonemore Medical?
I founded the company in 2010
But it says on the website
2011, I know,
but it was actually 2010,
right after my brother was diagnosed
BENJI: Stop.
Let the deposer finish
asking the question,
then take a beat before you answer,
just in case I need to object.
Also, just answer
the question that's asked.
Don't volunteer
any additional information.
You know, I've been deposed before.
Not by Julian Cruz, you haven't.
And he's gonna focus on
how the valve went missing,
so let's go there.
Mr. Duncan, do you know the whereabouts
of every heart valve Stonemore
Medical has manufactured?
The company keeps records of that, yes.
Do you know the whereabouts
of the heart valve
removed from Helen Peterson?
No.
Did you or anyone in your employ
cause that valve to be removed
from California Midland Medical Center?
As a rule, when a valve is explanted,
it comes back to the manufacturer.
That valve is my property,
so if you're asking if I stole it,
how could I?
I own it.
But do I know where
it currently resides?
No, I do not.
And I don't appreciate
the inference of criminal behavior.
Criminal behavior?
I thought you said you own the valve.
Now you're admitting that
you taking it would be a crime?
- I'm saying
- BENJI: You're saying too much.
The correct answer, if you're asked
if you took Helen's valve, is "no."
Let's try this again.
[KNOCK ON DOOR]
Got a sec?
Yes.
So, I was in the shower,
and I got an idea.
I'm pretty excited about it.
Okay.
Duncan doesn't knoabout ddie's baby,
so why don't we spring it on him?
Let him know we're going to
amend our complaint to include
a cause of action for wrongful death?
Why would we give away
the strongest thing
we have against him right now?
So, I was thinking,
when he realizes that his valve
led to the death of a baby, he might
Get a conscience all of a sudden
and say, "I did it.
I created a valve that's killing babies.
I knew it, and I'm sorry"?
- I don't think so.
- No, but it might rattle him.
Anything we could do to unnerve
him would be extremely helpful.
Listen, I understand your enthusiasm,
but I think we should stick to
the line of questioning
that we discussed right now.
That's my call.
Okay.
Amir.
When you had that binstorm about, uh,
mentioning Maddie's baby,
did you happen to, uh,
mention it, uh, to anyone who was within
a close proximity to you?
- I was in the shower.
- No, I understand.
And you had an idea that excited you.
When I have an idea that excites me,
I tend to want to
tell somebody about it.
Wait.
Are you asking me if I was
in the shower with Cassidy
and told her about Maddie's baby?
I was trying very hard
not to ask you that.
Sir, I did not tell Cassidy
about the valve.
I didn't do it intentionally
or accidentally.
I didn't do itn the shower
or while I was sleeping.
I didn't do it in a car.
I didn't do it in a bar.
I didn't do it in a box.
I didn't do it with a fox
I get it. I get it.
I'm sorry I keep asking.
[KNOCK ON DOOR]
Hey, Misha. What are you doing here?
I just came from being interrogated
by your mother
and a private investigator.
Ruined my morning.
The way I see it, you owe me coffee.
I'll make more. Come on.
I'm really sorry about that.
They did the same thing to me.
The only thing that was missing
was a lineup and double-sided glass.
I don't like being accused of stealing.
I don't steal!
I'm sure you don't.
I stole once.
Oh.
A lace bra from Victoria's Secret.
I was 14 and a late bloomer,
and all the other girls
in my class had boobs,
and I didn't need a bra yet,
but there was a sleepover,
and I couldn't show up without a bra.
And then what happened? You got caught?
No, I still have it. It fits now.
But I did t stl that heart valve!
God, I'm tired.
[SIGHS]
How was your overnight?
You know, two successful births.
One set of twins
and a postpartum follow-up
this morning before I left with Maddie.
How is she?
Well, there's supposed to be
a new baby at those things.
Stea she's sitting there
broken, distraught.
I'm asking her invasive questions
about a baby that just
Yeah. Not great.
Do you have any gin?
I know it's morning,
but it's night for us,
and coffee isn't cutting it.
I do have gin.
Mm. [CHUCKLES]

I didn't need a ride that night.
What were you doing there?
Look, I don't need you to lie
for me, alright?
But also, I don't need to be
accused of stuff I didn't do
when I've worked my ass off
to get clean.
I'm not accusing you of anything.
Well, your parents are.
Well, they just found out that
you stole a bunch of stuff.
Well, so did you!
I mean, you stole money to buy drugs,
Which I told you about!
But somehow, your history
of stealing computers
never came up.
Not even in NA!
Which, you know, so much
for rigorous honesty, I guess.
Okay.
Here's some honesty.

Stonemore's listening,
and the music makes it
hard for them to hear.
But I'm recording this, too,
in case you try to use
what I say against me!
So, uh, you said you lost custody?
Yeah. Of Asher.
He's 9 now.
The court gave my ex custody.
Why? What happened?
[CHUCKLES BITTERLY] Stonemore happened.
Short version I was a sales rep,
life was great,
and then I overheard something
that made me question the new valve.
I started asking questions,
and, suddenly, I was fired.
They accused me of having
an inappropriate relationship
with Mark Duncan's brother
and said that I failed
a company drug test.
I never slept with Jacob Duncan,
and I never did drugs!
I knew it was because
I was telling the surgeons
that the new valve was no good.
I became pretty paranoid,
especially after the cops stopped me
with my kid in the car.
They said I was driving erratically.
They searched my car and found drugs.
But I swear on my kid's life,
I did not put them there,
and I was not driving erratically.
But it all went to hell
after that anyway.
My husband left,
sued for full custody and won,
and then I started drinking.
I was a mess.
Because you made me a mess!
My husband got a restraing orr,
and I haven't seen my kid
in eight months.
But I stopped drinking, and I am trying.
I am really trying.
What did you overhear about the valve?
Hey.
They've already ruined your life.
Your son is gone. What else can they do?
Let us help.
[SIGHS]
Okay.
Jacob Duncan has aortic stenosis.
He was all set to get
the Stonemore valve,
but at the last minute Jacob
Duncan hasgot a pig valves.
Because his brother,
Mark Duncan, told him to.
Mark said that there were problems
with the Stonemore valve.
He said that to you?
At a company retreat.
I overheard them talking.
And then I called Jacob,
and he admitted it,
- and I record it!
- Do you have that recording?
♪
I can't get near my husband
because of the restraining order.
But if I could just talk to him,
show him that I am sober,
maybe he would let me see my kid.
So you talk my husband
into letting me in,
and I will play you the recording.

No.

We would love to talk to you
a little bit about
I know what you're here for.
I've seen you on TV.
Asher, go, uh, play in the backyard
while I talk to these ladies.
Okay.
MISHA: The valve was corroded.
And I put that in people.
And presented at conferences
and won awards
and made lots of money because
I put that that thing
in innocent people.
Pour.
But you didn't know, right?
And everything looks bad
when you pull it out of a human being.
No, no. But this was different.
Normally, there's inflammation, but
Here. Uh
Okay.
This is a heart.
Clearly.
And, uh
this This is a valve.
Normally, the heart's like,
"Oh, I don't love this,"
and the tissue around it
gets inflamed, upset.
Looks delicious.
But this was like this.
- Poor guy.
- No. No.
Not poor guy. Not poor guy.
Because the theory here
is that the mottled valve
ju looks banged up and
innocent and like the victim,
but maybe it's not.
Maybe there is something in it
that is doing the real damage.
You know, something
that is going through
the entire body and attacking
everything in its path.

Mr. Duncan, how do you keep track of
the heart valves that you manufacture?
Objection Assumes
facts not in evidence.
Allow me to rephrase.
Do you keep track of the heart valves
that your company makes?
The company does, yes.
And do you keep track of the valves
that get removed from
Stonemore heart valve patients?
Well, they don't get removed that often.
That's not the question.
The question is,
when they do get removed,
do you keep track of them?
I'll remind you that this
deposition is being videotaped,
and every time your lawyer coaches you,
it's being recorded.
BENJI: So is your badgering.
Answer the question.
We like to account for
all of our valves,
one way or another.
Is that a yes?
It's not a yes-or-no question.
Let me make my question clear.
Did you take Helen Peterson's valve
from the pathology lab
the night it was removed from her body?
Objection. It's an absurd
accusation with no basis in fact.
Objection noted.
Please answer the question.
I didn't take her valve, no.
- Mark
- Actually, I wonder if you took it
because it wasn't corroded,
and therefore could prove
that it wasn't responsible for
Helen Peterson's illness
or the death of
her daughter's baby or
- Mark!
- What?
I'd like to take a break.
What are you thinking?
You told Cassidy.
No, I did not.
Yes, you did.
It's okay to make a mistake.
People make mistakes.
But it's not okay
to lie to me right now.

REBEL: Kate says that
Stonemore set her up.
Come on.
She had an affair with
Mark Duncan's brother.
When he broke it off,
she wanted to hurt him,
so she made this stuff up.
He's a shareholder in the company.
And she started doing drugs?
I guess.
What did they find in the car?
[EXHALES SHARPLY] Oxy. Coke.
A bunch of other stuff.
Did you ever see her impaired?
I was working all the time,
and and she was on a crusade
to bring down Stonemore,
so we didn't see much of each other.
Okay. I'm a recovering addict,
and my friends have plenty
of stories of when I was using.
Basically, I slurred my words
and I fell asleep
in plates of food for years.
Did you see any of that?
She failed a drug test.
Maybe.
Or maybe Stonemore
sat to it that she failed
and then put drugs in her car
and told you she had an affair.
I saw e-mails between
her and Jacob Duncan.
Kate swears that Stonemore
hacked her account
to make it look like
- Oh, my God!
- Of course she says that!
Come on. Who take
responsibility for having an affair?
And And I tried
to forgive the affair,
but I could not forgive the neglect.
You know she forgot to pick up
Asher at school 11 times?
There wasn't room
for anything else in her life
but how Stonemore was killing people.
Maybe she was right.
You ever think about that?
You ever lie awake at night wondering
if maybe she told the truth?
Look, she just wants

claiming that those valves
are killing them.
Kate's telling the truth.
Here, look. This is Maddie Peterson.
Two weeks ago,
she gave birth to a baby girl
who lived for 36 hours.
She s suffering from a fatal condition
caused by the mother's Stonemore valve.
If the doctors had listened to Kate,
if Mark Duncan had taken
that valve off the market,
Maddie wouldn't have gotten it,
and that baby her baby
Would be alive.
She was gonna kidnap my son.

I was just gonna take him

He's my son. He misses me.

for something you didn't do?
Just imagine it.
You're having a happy life,

accused of stealing it, so
Sean, you can keep that.
Hey, uh
I-I did go to the hospital
that night to pick you up
because you seemed stressed
about the baby and stuff.
But it took too long,
and I had to go get in line
at this shelter I sometimes stay at.
I'm not there by 8:00 P.M.,
they're full,
and I have to sleep in my truck,
which is cold.
So, no, I don't live in Encino,
my dad's not in the picture,
and my mom's in Florida
with her boyfriend.
I use the weed shop to get my mail,
and a few years ago,

and and sold it for drugs 'cause
yeah, I used to do a ton of drugs.
But I-I didn't steal
any sick lady's heart valve.
Hey, um
Um [SIGHS]
Sorry for the way that went down.

handled it differently.

Mr. Duncan,
what is Hen Peterson's daughter's name?
I have no idea.
But you knew her baby died.
You said so before.
Would you like the reporter
to read back your answer?
I knew that she had a baby
that died, yes.
- How'd you find out?
- BENJI: Objection.
It seems like something
that you would remember.
It's not every day that one finds out
that a baby has died, unless you do.
With all your failing heart valves,
a dying baby might be like
a Monday, Wednesday, Friday
kind of thing.
Cruz, stop speechifying and
ask a question, if you have one.
How are you doing it?
Hmm?
Are you going through our garbage?
Are you?
Are you using our family connection?
Cruz.
That's an inappropriate accusation.
I've seen you dancing in the buff!
You're gonna talk to me
about what's inappropriate?
Are you listening to our conversations?
Are you following us?
Tell him to answer the question.
Don't.
No, I'm not following you,

Is somebody that works for you
following us,
listening to our conversations,
going through our e-mails?
Don't answer that, and I object
to this line of questioning.
And I object to being spied upon.
How did he find out that
Maddie Peterson's baby died?
Because the family kept it private.

Well, Sean,

There is, however, a record
of you at Hollywood High,

You were expelled for stealing
equipment from the computer lab.

you gave Hollywood High

I had breast cancer five years ago.

I know this is terrible and intrusive,
but so are people dying because
we can't win a damn lawsuit.
I don't understand the corrosion
I saw on Helen's valve,
so I've been calling colleagues
trying to figure it out.
No one has any answers,
but a few people did say
that about two years ago,
there was a woman,
a Stonemore sales rep,
who was calling around
warning surgeons not to use
the valve, that it was flawed.
A whistle blower?
Her name's Kate Foster.
I called Stonemore to get
her contact number.
First person I spoke to
said there was no ex sales rep
by that name,
so I called again and again and again
and again and again and again.
Was that six "again" s?
Finally, someone admitted that, yes,
there was a woman named
Kate Foster who was a sales rep
who was fired for failing a drug test,
and she lives in Long Beach now.
So I called Kate Foster,
but she wouldn't talk to me.
She accused me of working for Stonemore

Mr. Duncan, do you know the whereabouts
of every heart valve Stonemore

The company keeps records of that, yes.
Do you know the whereabouts
of the heart valve
removed from Helen Peterson?
No.
Did you or anyone in your employ
cause that valve to be removed
from California Midland Medical Center?
As a rule, when a valve is explanted,
it comes back to the manufacturer.
That valve is my property,
so if you're asking if I stole it,
how could I?
I own it.
But do I know where
it currently resides?
No, I do not.
And I don't appreciate
the inference of criminal behavior.
Criminal behavior?
I thought you said you own the valve.
Now you're admitting that
you taking it would be a crime?
- I'm saying

The correct answer, if you're asked
if you took Helen's valve, is "no."
Let's try this again.

Yes.
So, I was in the shower,
and I got an idea.
I'm pretty excited about it.
Okay.
Duncan doesn't knoabout ddie's baby,
so why don't we spring it on him?
Let him know we're going to
amend our complaint to include
a cause of action for wrongful death?
Why would we give away
the strongest thing
we have against him right now?
So, I was thinking,
when he realizes that his valve
led to the death of a baby, he might
Get a conscience all of a sudden
and say, "I did it.
I created a valve that's killing babies.
I knew it, and I'm sorry"?
- I don't think so.
- No, but it might rattle him.
Anything we could do to unnerve
him would be extremely helpful.
Listen, I understand your enthusiasm,
but I think we should stick to
the line of questioning
that we discussed right now.
That's my call.
Okay.

mentioning Maddie's baby,
did you happen to, uh,
mention it, uh, to anyone who was within

[CHUCKLES BITTERLY] Stonemore happened.
Short version I was a sales rep,
life was great,
and then I overheard something
that made me question the new valve.
I started asking questions,
and, suddenly, I was fired.
They accused me of having
an inappropriate relationship
with Mark Duncan's brother
and said that I failed
a company drug test.
I never slept with Jacob Duncan,
and I never did drugs!
I knew it was because
I was telling the surgeons
that the new valve was no good.
I became pretty paranoid,
especially after the cops stopped me
with my kid in the car.
They said I was driving erratically.
They searched my car and found drugs.
But I swear on my kid's life,
I did not put them there,
and I was not driving erratically.
But it all went to hell
after that anyway.
My husband left,
sued for full custody and won,
and then I started drinking.
I was a mess.
Because you made me a mess!
My husband got a restraing orr,
and I haven't seen my kid
in eight months.
But I stopped drinking, and I am trying.
I am really trying.
What did you overhear about the valve?
Hey.
They've already ruined your life.
Your son is gone. What else can they do?
Let us help.
[SIGHS]
Okay.
Jacob Duncan has aortic stenosis.
He was all set to get
the Stonemore valve,
but at the last minute Jacob
Duncan hasgot a pig valves.
Because his brother,
Mark Duncan, told him to.
Mark said that there were problems
with the Stonemore valve.
He said that to you?
At a company retreat.
I overheard them talking.
And then I called Jacob,
and he admitted it,
- and I record it!
- Do you have that recording?
♪
I can't get near my husband
because of the restraining order.
But if I could just talk to him,
show him that I am sober,
maybe he would let me see my kid.
So you talk my husband
into letting me in,
and I will play you the recording.

I didn't take her valve, no.

Basically, I slurred my words

Did you see any of that?
She failed a drug test.

sat to it that she failed
