The words of Rihanna and John Goodman highlight the first official promo for season four of Damages.

In the following video, we're only treated to a few scenes from the upcoming season - which premieres on DirecTV on July 13 - but the bellowing of Goodman, in the role of a military contractor CEO, makes it impossible to turn away.

Also joining Glenn Close and Rose Byrne on the drama this summer will be Judd Hirsch, Griffin Dunne and Chris Messina.
