Suits (2011–…): Season 1, Episode 5 - Bail Out - full transcript

Ross. Triple double.
Courtesy of America's
favorite burger chain.

Louis won
the class action suit?

Ten thousand men of Harvard

Want vict'ry today,

ALL: For they know
that o'er old Eli

Fair Harvard holds sway

So then we'll conquer
all old Eli's men

(UNCERTAINLY)
My favorite part.

You don't know
the lyrics, do you?

HARVEY: I don't even know
the lyrics, Louis.

Now, are we practicing
law down here



or auditioning
a chorus line?

It's called
esprit de corps.

And I just got a $100 million
jury award overturned.

I don't have to
overturn awards like that

because I've never
lost one in the first place.

So, what is this?
A new cologne?
Or just a hint ofjealousy?

I'm surprised you, uh,
don't recognize
your wife's perfume.

I know.
You're not married.

It's still funny.

You do realize we're
celebrating making fat
people even fatter, right?

If you wanted to do good,
you should have been
a fake doctor.

(CLEARS THROAT)

Business cards.

Yep. My mistake is
now official.



Come with me.

And learn the goddamn
lyrics to the Harvard song,
will you?

Oakhurst Capital has agreed
to a $200 million
licensing deal.

We are at the goal line.

How are we on
brand protection?

The contract is airtight.

The only issue here
is to get the Joyful Toy
Company to close.

I'll go over it with
Joy one-on-one.

(PHONE RINGING)

Protocol in a meeting is to
put your phone on silent.

Oh. Uh...

If it does ring,
you answer it.

Not in here.

Don't feel the need
to rush back
when you're done.

Who is this?

Dude, it's Trevor.
Don't hang up.

Look, I only get one call.
I'm in jail.

I tried to hop this bus
at Port Authority.
I was drunk.

It's all messed up.
Look, I know we haven't
talked since we fought.

But I didn't know
who else to call.

(DOOR BUZZES)

I'm sorry, man.

(SIGHS) I'm sorry.

Okay.

TREVOR: I'm going to
pay you back.

MIKE: Good. Your bail
cost me everything
I had in the bank.

The thing is,
I don't have the money.

What are you talking about?

You were clearing $10,000
a month selling weed.

It went out
as fast as it came in.

Came in?

I quit. I'm not
dealing anymore.

Bullshit.

I'm serious.
After we fought,

things just started
to fall apart.

Jenny broke up with me.

I didn't know.

Well, I just realized I
needed to make a change.

I even sold my bong.

What have you
done with my friend?

You should talk.
Look at you.

You look like
Gordon Gekko's little brother.
Okay.

Are you working on
Wall Street, man?

Why did you call me, Trevor?

You're the one person
I knew would show up.

You want to ask me
for anything?

Else?

Look. All I care about
right now is keeping
my record clean.

(SIGHS)

You don't happen to know
any good lawyers, do you?

No. I don't.

See the money,
wanna stay for your meal

Get another piece of pie
for your wife

Everybody wanna know
how it feel

Everybody wanna see
what it's like

I'll even eat a bean pie
I don't mind

Me and missy is so early

Busy, busy making money

All right!

All step back
I'm 'bout to dance

The greenback boogie

Why the rush now?

You've already wasted
ten minutes of my life.

Please tell me you didn't
wait ten minutes
just to scold me.

I've been waiting for you to
bring the paperwork down

so I can close a nine-figure
licensing deal.

If your phone rings
while I'm talking to Ray,

I'm throwing it out of the car
while it's attached
to your hand.

Eddie Hope and
the Mannish Boys.

1959. Three guesses.

Guesses?

Won't be a fool no more

You insult me, Harvey.

Don't worry, we won't be late.

Okay. What was the name
of the record label?

Marlin Records.

Who covered it
in the late '60s?

Ah, I want to say
The Stones, but...

You need some guesses?
(TIRES SCREECHING)

(CAR CRASHING)
RAY: Oh!

Oh, my God.

CAB DRIVER: Just like
a private car service, huh?

Thinking you don't
have to yield?

What? Yield?

You ran a red light.

That light was yellow.

No, sir, it was not.
Are you calling me a liar?

Back off.
Mind your business, okay?

Oh, I'm minding
my business.

Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey.

Anyone throws a punch,
I'm going to introduce you
to Mr. Taser.

Trade insurance.
I'll take reports
one at a time.

As much as I'd like
to help you out,

I'm late for a meeting.

Oh, no. You're not going
anywhere. I need a statement
from you, too.

Here is my information.

I need you to
babysit the client
until I get there.

Don't mention the deal.

She asks any questions,

just nod your head
and look pretty.

(WHISTLES)

(CLEARS THROAT)

Ms. McAfee. I'm Mike Ross.
I work with Harvey.

Oh. You're the prot?g?
that he's been
gushing about.

He was gushing?

Well, he mentioned
that you existed.

For Harvey, that's gushing.

Uh, he's running a few
minutes late today.
Car trouble.

I was just about to
have tea with the girls.

Would you care to join me?

I'd love to.
Good.

And for heaven's sakes,
call me Joy.

Okay, Joy.

JOY: These are the girls.

Susie, Sarah, Stacy,
Sinclair, and Sabrina.

Susie, where are your manners?
Shake hands with
this nice young man.

(CLEARS THROAT)

(CHUCKLES) Just kidding.
I know they're dolls.

Oh.

They're named after
my daughters.

I started the company
because of them, really.

You know, dolls didn't used
to be these cheap,
plastic bimbos

from China
that we have today.

Your mother made them
for you by hand.

I wanted my girls to
have that same experience.

And here we are,
thirty years later.

Every parent's
worst nightmare.

What do you mean?

These little angels,
they sell for $90 a pop.

I wasn't born with
a butler, you know.

I've got to say,
this is amazing.

Taking on a project
like a licensing deal.

Why is that amazing?

Well, my grandmother
could never pull this off.

She's been retired
for ten years.

How is that
treating her?

She lives near my apartment.
I get to see her
once a week. So...

That's very sweet of you.

No. No, it's not.

You know, whenever I
needed her, she was there.

No matter what.
She'd give me a hug.

She'd tell me everything
was going to be alright.

Even if it wasn't.

And now that she needs me,

I am always at work.
And I'm...

(PHONE RINGING)

I'm so sorry. Yeah.

Never answer your phone
in front of a client.

But it's you.
What's happening?

Well, actually, we're in
the middle of a tea party.

I knew you were
the doll-playing type.

Put Joy on.

Ms. McAfee. It's Harvey.

Oh.

Oh. Joy, I'm sorry.
I have to reschedule.

No need to apologize.

I like this one.

I'll send him back after tea.

Tell me you didn't ask
our client for a doggie bag.

What can I say?
Stacy insisted.

I just got off with
Joy McAfee's general counsel.

It seems
she had an epiphany.

She wants less
on her plate, not more.

I thought you were
going to close her.

We need that doll money.

I'm on top of it.

Harvey, it took five months
to structure that deal.

Please don't make me
set fire to your desk.

I...

All you had to do
was have tea
with the dolls.

Donna, schedule another
tea party with Joy
as soon as possible.

And text me
the names of her girls.

Oh, what a shock.
You can't keep girls' names
straight in your head.

Just yours, Debbie.

See, that's funny because
your name is Donna.

Harvey Specter. I got
your order right here.

I didn't order a pizza.

You've been served.

The cab driver who hit Ray
named me as a witness
in a civil suit.

I need to pay
Travis Bickle a visit.

Harvey, if you let me
go talk to Joy,

I know I can fix this.
No.

You don't send a puppy
to clean up its own mess.

Optimally, you don't
even have a puppy.

Ross. Rumor has it
you talked a client
out of $200 million.

The deal's not off
the table, all right?
It's just a speed bump.

Dude, I think we just found
him a new nickname.

Speed Bump.
(ASSOCIATES LAUGHING)

I feel like I'm back
in high school.

They called you
Speed Bump in high school?

Kidding. But if you need
any boxes to pack up
your office...

Ah. Wait a minute.

(GROANS)

There. I think that
belongs to you.

It wouldn't hurt so much
if you had thicker skin.

(PHONE RINGING)

What do you want?

I want to pay you back
for posting bail.

Trevor, you've owed me
forty bucks
since fifth grade.

I wrote it off. Okay?

Look, I want
a clean slate. Okay?

So, you don't
want to see me,
I'll mail you a check.

(ALL CHUCKLING)

Okay.

Yeah. Let's hang out
tomorrow night.

Nothing crazy, though,
all right? I have to
be up early.

We can crochet pantyhose
if that's what it takes
to be cool.

I think we can do
a little better than that.

Why don't we, uh...
Why don't we say
Rex's, 7:30?

First six rounds are on me.

If you're serious about
paying me back,

the first hundred rounds
are on you.

Oh, it's the tough guy.

This is a matter
for insurance.

Not a frivolous lawsuit.

You know,
for your information,
I suffered emotional pain.

Emotional pain?

Rub this on
your emotional pain.

You condescending
son of a...

Look at me. I am going
to warn you once.

Do not pursue this matter.

You know, I have been
held up at gunpoint
three times.

So, do you think
a fancy suit and
a $500 haircut,

that's going to scare me?

You take my driver to court,

I'm going to
represent him myself.

And when you lose,

you'll be covering my fee.

Which is going to be
a hell of a lot of haircuts.

Mmm. So you weren't
a one-way fare.

Ray's worked for me
eight years.

Then you don't have to worry
about being a witness.

Because as his employer,

you're liable
for his actions.

You know, I think you've
seen way too many reruns
of Ally McBeal.

You know, I immigrated here
after September 11.

And they shut the doors
on everybody.

I couldn't pay
for a lawyer,

so I had to take
them to court.

I sued for my citizenship.

So I have a very special
appreciation for the law.

I appreciate a good
single malt.

I don't pretend
I can make one.

I wiped the floor
with the US
government, Counselor.

I'm going to do
the same with you.

DONNA: Ray.
Donna.

What are you doing here?
I don't have you scheduled.

Uh, I need to see Harvey.

Oh, come on.
You know the rules.

No one sets foot in there
without a warrant,

a Papal edict,
or my say-so.

I just got named in
a multi-million
dollar lawsuit.

The accident
wasn't my fault.

Can I get in to
see Harvey, please?

Okay, say no more.
I will get you in.

You are so beautiful
when you're forceful.

I know you meant that
as a compliment,

but I don't appreciate
limitations being placed
on my beauty.

Harvey. I'm already
losing money with
the car in the shop.

A trial means
I can't work.

And how do you think
my name is going to play
in front of a New York jury?

Rahim Benghazi?

I may as well buy
a one-way ticket
to Guantanamo.

Not going to happen.

If I lose, I won't even
be able to afford
a livery license,

let alone my insurance.

That's why I'm going to be
defending both of us.

Ray, this goes against
every fiber of my being.

I'm taking your case.
Pro bono.

I don't know what to say.

Absolutely nothing.
I've got a reputation
to maintain.

Besides, it's not going
to take long. Okay?

I'm going to get
it dismissed.

Donna, call the court.
We need priority status
on the docket.

Yeah. I already tried.

You drew Judge Palermo.

You know what you
have to do, don't you?

Yeah. The other thing
that goes against
every fiber of my being.

Louis, has anyone told you
you're an exquisite soprano?

What do you want, Harvey?

You're right.
Why prolong my suffering?

I need you to get me in
to see Judge Palermo.

You need my help,

and you're not going
to pull rank on me?

Your case has nothing
to do with firm business,
does it?

What's it
going to take?

A mani-pedi?
Tickets to Celine?

I'll see what I can do.

And your pound of flesh?

I need my back scratched,
I'll let you know.

Louis, unless that's a
metaphor, the deal's off.

Huh.

Joy, when I told you
that my grandmother
didn't have much time,

I didn't realize that
she's 15 years
older than you.

Now how do you know
how old I am?

That is a very closely
guarded secret.

I did some research.

Very resourceful.

I did it to assure myself
that you can handle
a heavier workload.

I appreciate that.

But I'm not worried
about my health.

Is it the money?

Because I can guarantee
$200 million upfront

is just a tenth of what
you stand to make
on this deal.

Michael, my dolls eat better
than most people.

I've got plenty of money.

This deal meant staying on
for five more years and
doubling my workload.

(CLEARS THROAT)

I am going to take
my grandchildren on
a cruise to Tahiti.

Tahiti?

You know the licensing
agreement includes
a theme park.

You could take them there.

It's not about the deal.

I have had this same view
for 25 years.

I need a change of scenery.

I'm going to speak to Harvey

and I'm going to tell him
that I want to sell
the whole business.

So I just spoke to
Judge Palermo.

And because he thinks
I'm a good guy

and I told him
I'd owe him one,

your case is
going to be moved up.
Way ahead.

Back scratch.

I don't have
a first born, you know.

So what exactly
do you want for that?

No, you're not getting
one of my ties.
No.

Your shoulder?
What... Your lapel...

Donna?

(LAUGHS) God.

Norma is going to Istanbul
for two weeks.

And you know that
I'm not good with temps.

My God. Ask me
for something else.

Harvey, this is
non-negotiable.

You owe me now.

Donna is one thing
that I can't give you.

Why not?

For one thing,
she'd never agree to it.

You're her boss.
You just tell her to do stuff.

I don't tell her
to do anything.

She just does.

All right, fine.
You know what?
That's just not a problem.

I will call Judge Palermo,
and I'll tell him
I was mistaken.

And then, your
hearing will be in,

I don't know,
maybe six months?

I tell you what.

If you can convince
her yourself,

you have my blessing.

She's going to love me
so much, you're going to
fight to get her back.

Hi, Donna.

Harvey and I were just
talking about you.

No.

You don't even know
what I was going to say.

Yes, I do.

And how is that possible?

I read lips.
I know body language.

And I talk to Norma.

I'm not some token
you win at a fair, Louis.

You... I know you're not.
You're not a token.

I'm a human being,
and I just...
Yes, you are.

I'm sorry. I just...

You know what?
That just made me
feel really... cheap.

No, I'm just trying to tell
you that you're really good
at what you do, Donna.

So I'm going
to ask you...

It's like my soul hurts now.

No. Donna, listen.

Even if your soul hurts
a little bit...

I'm sorry.

It's okay.
It's going to be fine.

Don't cry.
Please don't cry, Donna.

Oh, shit.

I think I owe you
one for that. That was fun.

Wait a second.

The time that you cried

and then I let your
parents stay at my condo?

Yep.

(MUSIC PLAYING)

So you don't want
to talk about it?

What is there
to talk about?

I did exactly what
my boss told me not to do,

and it blew up
in my face.

Dude, I told you
I'm taking care of this.

For my last few hours
of employment,
please, I should pay.

Put the wallet away.

Ooh.

Dude, this is epic.

This is the scam
we always talked about.

God, I bet you're getting
laid left and right.

Oh, yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

You lose appreciation
after a while. Come on.

Why did you put a phone
number on there?

It's a real firm.

Oh, yeah? Huh.

What are you doing?

Oh, I'm just calling
the employee directory.

It's part of the scam, man.
They'll check your story.

Stop it.
What?

Trevor, stop.
Hang up the phone.
No.

Trevor, hang up
the phone. Stop.
What?

All right? I'm working there.

Oh, yeah.
What, as a lawyer?

(WHISPERS) Are you...
Dude.

It's a long story. Okay?

But you can't tell anyone.
Ever. Okay?

That is awesome.

Man, I always said that
if you quit smoking pot,
you could do it.

Yeah. Yeah. Oh, that's right.
Yeah, you did.

Right before
you passed me the bowl.

What?

No, I just...

I wish you trusted me
enough to tell me.

I mean, all I did was
set you up on a drug bust.

Oh, God.
That was too soon.

(GROANS)
I'm sorry.

Hi, ladies. How are you?

Um, I want to
let you know,

if you, either of you,
ever get arrested
for anything,

you call this guy.
He's the best attorney
in the city.

What would we
get arrested for?

Um... I don't know.

What are you thinking
about doing?

Uh, as your attorney,

I would definitely
advise you to do that.

(GIRLS GIGGLE)

Uh, four more.
TREVOR: Yeah.

JUDGE: I must warn you
that representing yourself
at trial is not the...

What's he doing here?

You think you can
schedule a meeting
without me knowing it?

Oh, no. I'm privy
to all communication
between you and the court.

Well, if your driving matched
your legal knowledge,

we wouldn't be here.

Your Honor.
This case should
be dismissed.

It's a matter for insurance.

Insurance only
covers repairs.

It does not deal
with my losses.

What losses?

Because of that accident,
I missed my chance to
get my Taxi Medallion.

Can't you just
buy it next year?

The loan I got
expires in one week.

On top of that,
a Medallion costs
$300,000 this go round.

Next year, $350,000.

So his entire claim
rests upon the assumption

that he would have won
this year's Medallion.

The hallmark of America
is that the little guy gets
to see justice done.

We are all equals
in the eyes of the law.

That is why, out of all
the countries in the world,

I chose to come here.

What do you have to say
about that, Counselor?

I say Atticus Finch makes
a good speech here.

But this is a fender bender,

not a multi-million
dollar law suit.

Vicarious liability applies
to discrimination, harassment,
and accidents.

Employers are responsible for
their employees' negligence.

The court finds
a reasonable suit here.

Trial starts tomorrow.

Thank you, Your Honor.

You're getting a good kick
out of this, aren't you?

I am. But I'm taking
this on its merits.

And you better bring
your A game tomorrow,

because he's got
a legitimate claim.

He wants a trial,
I'll give him a goddamn trial.

Your Honor.

So, how many cases
have you won?

I only remember
how many I've lost.

None.

Well, what happened
to the drinks?

I got a better idea.

Let's say we get a bottle
and take the party
back to your place.

Make it a bottle of Dom,
and you're on.

All right.
How about four bottles?

Come on.

MARCELLA: You guys
want to get a cab?

Definitely.

Definitely. Cab,
four bottles of Dom...

You want to spend
any more of my money?

Just relax. Okay?
It's an investment
in the evening.

And, uh, I just said
the thing about the bottles

to get the girls
out of the bar.

Really? Because it looked
like you were trying to
get away from those guys.

TREVOR: Taxi! What guys?

The guys in the back.

You know what
I'm talking about.
Come on. Who are they?

Look. Those two?
I... I... I don't know.

Where are all the cabs?

Well, it looked like
they knew you.

And not in
a very good way.

I... I don't know.
Maybe they were, uh, flirting
with our dates. Okay?

I'd be pissed, too,
if I watched those legs
walk away from me.

How we doing, ladies?

My feet are killing me
in these heels.
TREVOR: I'm sorry.

MIKE: Hey. Trevor.
Come on. Seriously.
Taxi!

Stop playing with me.
What was that
about back there?

Look, I'm not playing
with you. All right?

But just, if you play
your cards right,
maybe you and, uh...

Maybe Marcella will...
Maybe she'll play with you.
Okay.

TREVOR: Now, it's going
to be a tight squeeze.
Who wants to sit on my lap?

MIGUEL: We don't
go after him?

No, we're going to get to
him through this guy.

(UPBEAT MUSIC PLAYING)

A-ha, just like the good
old days, huh?

Are you kidding me?
This is way better
than the good old days.

I'm actually missing a shoe.

Hey, where are we?

Uh, I think we're in Hoboken.

You wanted to see me?

Did you go to see Joy
after I told you not to?

How did you know?

I didn't. Until now.

I told you. A puppy can't
clean up its own mess.

Mess? All I did was tell her
about my grandmother.

Your job is to
make my life easier.

If you can't understand that,
why did I hire you?

Police report summarized.

Traffic signal analysis.

Medallion bids, attendees,
and results.

That's why you hired me.

I thought you were all
over the Joy situation.

Instead, you're
all over page six.

You wanted me to do
pro bono work. This is it.

Pro bono enhances
a firm's image.

This makes us look like
wealthy bullies against
an everyman cabby.

Does that seem like it
enhances our image to you?

I refuse to answer that
on the grounds
that I don't want to.

Someone had a fun night.

Answer another call
you shouldn't have?

I... I... I didn't...
I was...

Piece of advice. When
the big dog asks the puppy
something like that,

it's a rhetorical question.

Got it.

Before you go...

The phone call. The other
day when you answered it
during the meeting?

Yeah. I'm sorry
about that. It won't
happen again.

Who was it?

Um, it was just a friend.
You know, an emergency.

What kind of emergency?
Um...

Was it the friend who
almost got you busted
for drug trafficking?

That friend? Trevor?

He's not dealing
anymore, Harvey.

So, it was him.
He called you from jail?

You know, I make a
living learning how to
read people, Mike.

So if I saw it,
Jessica did, too.

Is that the kind of
impression that you want
to leave around here?

This guy
is not your friend.

He is an anchor
dragging you down.
Get rid of him.

He is my oldest
friend, Harvey.

I wasn't just going
to let him rot in jail.

What's going to happen
the next time?

Because there will be
a next time.

You going to bail him out?

Put yourself in jeopardy?

You know, if it weren't
for Trevor, you and I
never would have met.

Cut him loose.

We're here to see Mike Ross.
He's an associate.

His friend, Trevor,
referred us. Thank you.

MIKE: It looked like
they knew you. And not
in a very good way.

(ELEVATOR BELL DINGS)

(WHISTLING)

(ELEVATOR BELL DINGS)

(ELEVATOR BELL DINGS)

(ELEVATOR BELL DINGS)

Hey!

Hey!

Excuse me. Officer.

Is Central Park that way?

Yeah, just go
right there.

I'm sorry. I'm really
terrible with direction.

Is it this street
right here?

This street, yes.

Right here.
Yeah.

Okay.

(PHONE BEEPS)

Trevor, it's Mike.

Call me back.
I need to know what
the hell is going on.

Did you get the red
velvet cupcakes?

Yes. Three dozen.
Extra icing.

How the hell
did that happen?

Okay. You know what?

There. Problem solved.

I asked you how'd
you get that tear.

A couple of guys
came to the firm.

They were looking for me.

I don't know
what they wanted,

but I'm pretty sure
it has something to do
with some shit Trevor did.

And that big brain of yours
doesn't remember me saying to
cut ties with that loser?

You know what?
You've been blowing off
Joy's deal all week

for your friend, okay?
So, please.

First of all,
Trevor is not your friend.

You want to know why
I'm loyal to Ray?

I was taking a limo,
and I left $3,000 in it.

Ray happened to
be the driver.

He found it and
tracked me down.

Not a nickel of
it was missing.

And his first reaction when
this accident occurred
was to ask if we were okay.

Now, what would
Trevor's have been?

Cut him off.

And as far as the
licensing deal goes,

just because you think
I'm blowing something off,
doesn't mean I am.

Now watch and learn.

(DOORBELL RINGS)

Everything's set for
you to walk away.

We're selling
your stake as a block.

Your headhunter is lining up
your replacement as we speak.

(CHILDREN YELLING)

Well, Harvey,
this was the most
wonderful surprise.

You're a long-time client
who wants to be
with her family.

It was the least I could do.

And you'll have...
(GLASS SHATTERS)

...all the free time in the
world to spend with them.
GIRL: Joey broke the lamp.

Oh, that's great.

Now, how soon
can we send them home?

They're booked on the first
flight out tomorrow morning.

So when you had Donna
text you the girls' names...

I was talking about
her daughters.

And you were going to
fly them out all along.

Do you remember when I said
you don't send a puppy to
clean up its own mess?

Yes, Harvey. I do.

I'm not a puppy.

JUDGE: Court will
come to order.

Mr. Santana, your opening
statement, please.

Driving a cab
isn't glamorous.

But it's an
honest day's work.

Ever since I started, I've
looked forward to a time

when I could tell customers
that they were riding
in my cab.

That I was
an owner-operator.

So, I scrimped and I saved

until I finally had enough
put away to buy a Medallion.

But because of
the actions of these men,

I've lost that opportunity.

So make no mistake.
This trial is not about
a busted headlight.

This is a trial about
a broken dream.

Forget the case. They're going
to make him President.

Statements are
like free throws. Easy.

Nobody's playing defense.

Are we good at defense?

You would agree that
chauffeured drivers
cause more accidents?

Objection. Badgering.
Sustained.

Objection. Argumentative.

Leading the witness.
Ambiguous.

Privileged. Inflammatory.

Sustained.

JUDGE: Anything further,
Mr. Santana?

Yes, Your Honor.
I would like to call
to the stand

Mr. Michael Ross, please.

(CLEARS THROAT)

What time had you called
for the limo on the morning
of the accident?

We were supposed to
leave at 8:30.

And what time did
you get to work?

Objection. Irrelevant.

It's highly relevant,
Your Honor.

It speaks to the
psychology of the driver,
Rahim Benghazi.

Overruled. Answer
Mr. Santana's question.

8:40.

So unless Mr. Benghazi
made up for that lost time,

you were going to be late
for that meeting. Correct?

Yes.

No further questions,
Your Honor.

(CLEARS THROAT)

When the accident occurred,
you were on your way to
the Medallion auction.

When and where was
this auction to take place?

9:00 a.m., City Hall.

According to
the police report,

the accident occurred
at 8:53 a.m.

That means you
only had seven minutes to get
downtown in rush hour traffic.

Objection. Irrelevant.

I believe when I made
the same objection,

you told his Honor
it was highly relevant.

Overruled.

You were running late.

Only the stakes for you
were much higher,
weren't they?

These things never
start on time.

Then, why was the first
Medallion sold at 9:03 a.m.?

You were scared your chance
at a Medallion was
going up in smoke,

and you ran a red.

Then, you used the accident
to paint me and Ray Benghazi
as a couple of scapegoats.

You can't prove that.

What color was the light?

I take the Fifth.

You can't take the Fifth,
Mr. Santana.

This isn't a criminal case.

What color was the light?

He cut me off.

You claim to love our
legal system so much,

answer the question.

What color was the light?

What color was the light?

Your Honor?
Answer the question,
Mr. Santana.

It just meant so much to me.

Your Honor? Can I sidebar
with opposing counsel?

We can roll the dice
with the jury,
but I'd rather settle.

How much would I have to pay?
Nothing.

You take responsibility
for the accident,

and your insurance company
makes Ray whole.

In return, I waive my
right to collect legal fees.

I don't know what to say.

Don't say anything.

I've got a reputation
to maintain.

That goes for you,
too, Judge.

(PHONE RINGING)

Damn it, Trevor. I left you,
like, five messages.

Good to know your boy's
flaky with everyone.
I was taking it personal.

What do you want?

Well, Trevor owes us $50,000.
He's never paid,

so you're going
to bail him out.

Listen, I don't have
that kind of money.
Okay? I can't.

Well, if you're not down
here in an hour with it,

we're going to take it
out on Trevor.

Tell him where the money is.

Whatever you do,
don't show up.

(GROANS)

Trevor.

You have one hour.

Hello? Hello.

HARVEY: What do you think
you're doing, leaving in
the middle of a trial?

I've got some things
to take care of.

You mean someone
to take care of.

You never cut
Trevor off, did you?

No, I didn't.
My friend's in trouble,
and I'm going to help him.

You know what?
This is what addicts do.

The second they start
making progress,
they screw up.

Because deep down,
they think it's only a matter
of time until they fail.

They'd rather fall from
the third floor
than the penthouse.

Nothing you say
can stop me.

Then tell me what the
hell is going on.

MIGUEL: He's clean. No wires.

You sure?

Yeah, I'm sure.

Remember what happened
with the guy.

He was 300 pounds.

Now who did you say
you were again?

Trevor's lawyer.

VICTOR: Trevor didn't
mention a lawyer.

He doesn't know
he hired me.

Come on.

Open the briefcase.

Where's the goddamn money?

That photo is
a screen-shot taken from
my firm's security video.

We know what you look like.

And if Mike Ross doesn't
hear from me in
the next five minutes,

he's calling the police.

(LAUGHS)

No, man. You're not coming
in here and threatening us.

You're looking at
kidnapping, extortion,
and drug dealing.

And the District Attorney
happens to be number three
on my speed dial.

Well, if we're looking
at all that time, you might
as well add murder.

I've got a better idea.

Retainer agreement.

If you sign right here,
you'll become
one of my clients.

And I won't be able to
testify against you
even if I wanted to.

What about the money?

This envelope
contains $10,000.

Consider it a down payment
on Trevor's debt.

Only here's the thing.

I don't do pro bono work.

And my retainer agreement
requires a down payment
of $10,000.

Now, as your attorney,
my job is to give you advice.

So, here's the deal.

Sign the agreement.

I thought I said
not to come.

Remember that forty bucks
from the fifth grade
you owe me?

If you were dead,
how would I collect?

Oh, man.

I'm sorry. I just put
you in trouble just by
hanging out with you.

So, why did you do it?

Because I'm a dick.

TREVOR: I bet you didn't think
you'd have to save my ass
so soon after bailing me out.

I wasn't the one
who saved you.

Yeah. Wow. As a friend,
that guy puts me to shame.

Harvey's not my friend.
Trust me.

Well, he didn't put
his ass on the line
because of me.

Listen, I pled you down
to a misdemeanor,
drunk and disorderly,

and I paid the fine.

I think it might be
a good idea if you got
out of town for a while.

Montana.

You said you wanted
a clean slate.

I figured 20 hours on
a bus ought to do the trick.

Oh, yeah.
It will do me good.

Wait.
(BOTH GRUNTING)

When I get back, you
know who the first person
I'm going to call is.

Yeah. The one person
you know who'll answer it.

For you.
What's this?

I'm very happy you took
Ray on pro bono.

You, on the other hand,
can afford our services.

You want me to pay me
to represent me?

Mmm-hmm. Ten hours
at a $1,000 an hour.

Yeah, I'll let you
do the math.

You can't be serious.

I'll tell you
what I am serious about.

I hear you're finally
mentoring the kid.

I don't know what
you're talking about.

Really? Because I understand
that you dropped the puppy
analogy on him.

Which is exactly
what I used on you.

It may have slipped out
by accident.

On accident, on purpose...

The really important thing
is that I'm taller than you.

Yeah.

Yep. You look much
thinner in that.

You planted that story.
Be man enough to own it.

I don't traffic in
the tabloids, Harvey.

But I can see how
whoever planted this
might find it amusing.

The great Harvey Specter
bullying a humble cab driver?

I mean, it's a no-win
situation, really.

Well, maybe you didn't hear.

I won the no-win situation.

Did it ever occur to you
that if you hadn't
done that to me,

I actually would have
owed you one?

Maybe if you didn't
humiliate me in
front of the associates.

Louis, for an
average attorney,

a $100 million
is a career case.

If I'm mocking you,
it means I think
you're above average.

But stress balls?

You're making it too easy.

You put Trevor on the
bus to the boondocks?

Yeah. Can I ask
you a question?

After all this, you really
think I'm still buying

the Mr. I-Don't-Give-a-Crap
thing?

Joy sent a little token
of her appreciation.

She got your hair
just right.

(CHUCKLES)

Did she ever make one
of these for you?

Not that you'll ever see.

(BLUES PLAYING)
