Suits (2011–…): Season 2, Episode 15 - Normandy - full transcript

Harvey joins forces with and old familiar face to take down Daniel Hardman, Mike and Katrina play a sneaky game of one-upsmanship, and Rachel gets some bad news about her Harvard application.

MIKE: Katrina Bennett said she'd put the
deal through if you offered her a job.

You bribed her!

You bet your ass I did!

I've decided to
farm out the case.

Let me guess.
Daniel Hardman.

He's baiting you into
breaching confidentiality.

And I'm ready to bite down
and drag him in with me.

She was younger than you,
prettier than you,

and of child-bearing age.

All of the things you are not.

And you fired her for it.



You can't be the name defendant
on a gender discrimination case

while we're suing Folsom
Foods for the same thing.

I am not capitulating
to that man.

You have 45
cases you can't afford.

Any way you slice it, I'm
going to bleed you dry.

I put my reputation
on the line to close Maria.

Sheila, please.

I think you should go.

Meet Ms. Dana Scott.

Scottie.
Harvey.

JONES: Oh, you two
know each other?

DANA: We went to
Harvard Law together.

I've been here longer than
75% of our associates,

and I love it.



And that's what
I told them in my essay.

I'm going to Harvard.

When I get back to London,

I'm getting married, Harvey.

What would you like me to say?

I'm Hanley Folsom,
President of Folsom Foods.

Recently, we've been victim
to terrible allegations

that we've been
discriminating against women.

We're in places
like Marysville.

Places where women
want more than just jobs.

They want homes, families.

And we support that.

And if they want advancement,

we support that, too.

Got to give it to him.

His food might suck, but he
makes a mean bullshit pie.

Okay. Please don't put
that image in my mind.

I'm eating. Thank you.

What do you got there, vomit bagel?
(SIGHS)

Feces pancakes?

Look, I don't care
what he says.

This is a man
who won't promote women.

I want to steal a page
from your book.

I already checked. There's no
hot mic footage from this.

Then interview the cameraman.
Or the sound guy.

Whatever it takes. We need
to catch this guy in a lie.

I already tried to hire
an investigator.

The authorization
got kicked back.

Do it anyway.
I'll take care of it.

We need to talk
about resources.

We do.

I hear clients' calls
aren't being returned.

Hardman put seven cases
on the fast track.

The rest have to take
a back seat.

We can't just hang
our clients out to dry.

We won't. At 10:00 a.m.,
the library will be packed.

Instead of returning 113 calls,

I'm going to take an hour and
give them the state of the union.

Well, good.
Not good enough.

I need 40 more
contract lawyers,

a dozen paralegals,

and Mike Ross just told me

he couldn't even hire an investigator.
That's right. He can't.

We have to.
No.

We need to invest in this.
Did you hear me?

We bit this off. We need to chew.
You're like a toddler.

No. All of these are bills.

We knew what
we were getting into.

And then, we took a hit
from Monica Eton

and hired the contract lawyers.
We are out of money.

Use the line of credit.

It's gone.

What?

They have evaluated
the situation

and they know we're bleeding.

So, we've got seven cases
in seven cities

over the next two months?

So, what are you
proposing I do?

Okay. What do you
have for me?

Rachel. Rachel.

What's going on? What are you doing?
I'm working.

On what?

One of the seven cases
is in Massapequa,

so I'm seeing
if one of the cities nearby

might have
a private investigator.

Okay. So that's
a map of Boston.

You're on what we commonly
refer to as the Internet.

And then, up here, you would just
write "private investigator."

But then,
I wouldn't be able to see

what part of town I want to
live in when I go to Harvard.

Okay. So, basically,

you haven't been working for
the last, what, 15 minutes?

Half hour.

Forty-five minutes.
Come on.

I'm sorry. I don't deal
well with waiting.

You've done everything
that you can do. All right?

You killed the LSATs.

You had a great interview.
You're a legacy.

You're smoking hot. They don't let
people in because they're hot.

I would.

You do realize we're working on
a gender discrimination case.

That's what I'm doing.
Working.

And hopefully, that's what
you'll be doing now, too.

(HARVEY SNAPS FINGERS)

Change of plans.

Welcome to the team, hottie.

HARVEY: We're
consolidating resources.

Jessica didn't approve
the investigator?

Jessica approved anything we want.
For one case.

What? No. We have
to fight them all.

And we will. By letting
six of them go?

Do you know how we
won World War II?

Yeah, of course. Spock didn't
let Kirk save Joan Collins

from getting hit by that car.
Wrong.

We'd already won.

Kirk just would have changed
the course of history.

I accept that.

Eisenhower had 156,000 men

for eight possible
invasion points.

Which means... Nineteen thousand
five hundred men per point.

Otherwise known as nothing.

He had to put everything
that he had into one attack.

Yeah.
Normandy.

So, the question is, where
the hell is our Normandy?

That's easy.
Bakersfield.

Lowest percentage
of female promotions.

Highest percentage
of female applicants.

And Hanley Folsom's
brother-in-law runs the plant.

Exactly. You want
to launch an attack,

you launch it from Bakersfield.

Hey, am I Spock or Kirk?

Uhura.

Walked right into it.

I got you an espresso.
Quad shot.

I don't need coffee.

You might.

I'm fine.

What?
Oh, your suit's a little...

It's a client meeting,
not a bachelor auction.

Yeah, about that.

What? Are there too many
clients to fit in the library?

We're using the conference room.
They won't all fit.

They will.

There's been
a slight complication.

Donna.

You will understand
when you get there.

(SIGHS) Now, you're ready.

Donna.

HARVEY: Scottie?
Harvey.

How's married life?
I wouldn't know.

Divorced so soon?
I never took the plunge.

Oh, get over yourself. I know I
came here last time with cold feet

and blubbered over you
like a 15-year-old.

But it wasn't about you.
It was about me.

So, what's it about this time?
Bakersfield.

You are not taking my clients, Scottie.
We already did.

Like taking candy from
a little Harvard baby.

You just said
it wasn't about me.

Bakersfield is everything
and I've got them.

And I've also got
appointments with the rest.

So, I can spend time going
after them and get 20 more,

or you could let me have
10 and we call it a day.

Well, why don't I just
give it all to you?

My cases, office, my wallet, my keys.
It's not personal.

It's just business.
Yeah, my business.

Good business.

The answer is no.

Well, there's no harm
in asking.

It's good to see you, though.

(CHUCKLING) You look great.

A bit overworked, but not
bad for a guy your age.

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

You've got to be kidding me.

She took Bakersfield?

And she's looking for 10 more.

A woman that goes after
what she wants.

You sound impressed.
You don't.

I already work with a woman
like that every day.

Maybe I should have hired
her when I had the chance.

What chance?

There was one opening
that year,

and she was the best on paper.

But I had already
invested so much in you

that I decided to get
a return on my investment.

Which is what I'm going
to give you right now

even though you don't have
any more money to invest.

Are you back to resources?

Because I've had enough of
hearing about our weaknesses.

I'm talking about turning it
into one of our strengths.

I'm listening.

Hardman knows we're tapped out.
He's counting on it.

What if we're not?
What if we're flush?

Are you talking about
joining forces with her?

With her firm.

Her infinitely
deep-pocketed firm.

Harvey, she wanted 10 cases.

You're talking about
sharing 45.

I've never known you to share.

They're based in London,

so we'll be running the show.

They'll just be
signing the checks.

And taking a cut
of the winnings.

Exactly. Winnings. It's the
best way to beat Hardman.

And a side benefit is
you don't lose to Scottie.

Nothing wrong with
a side benefit.

Fine. Don't lose to her.

But you better make damn sure
that you don't lose with her.

(CLEARING THROAT)
Good, you're here.

I'm taking the personnel files.

You go through
the corporate minutes and...

Excuse me?

Bakersfield.
We don't have all day.

(SCOFFING)

Um, I'm sorry. I... I didn't
know you were on Bakersfield.

Well, I am.

Let's go. The minutes
are over there

and they're not going
to read themselves.

Okay. Well, you may be
on Bakersfield,

but I'm the lead
on Bakersfield.

And we're not going
to do any of that stuff

until we get Harvey
some up-to-date statistics.

4.7% female executives.

Up-to-date.
That's a number.

We need the probability of that ratio
being chance across 22 divisions

in 45 states.
Which is one in...

One in 8.3 billion.

How did you know that? I
checked with the statistician.

Yeah? Well, he's wrong.
Because he didn't adjust...

Adjust for outliers. Which takes it to...
One in 6.4 billion.

How did you know that?

I did it in my head.

It's what I do.

It's why I'm lead.

And if you don't know,
you better ask somebody.

I don't need to ask anybody to know
that if we use the 8.3 billion number,

it's defensible and it skews the results
in our favor. Oh, what a shock.

You want to skew the results

at the expense
of our credibility.

We're not doing it.

I am a fifth year, Mike.
And I work for Harvey.

Well, Jessica assigned me.

And if you don't like that,
why don't you go talk to her?

MIKE: I don't want to work
with Katrina.

She comes in.
She takes over.

She acts like everything
is her idea.

HARVEY: Then, we're
in the same boat.

Because I don't want
to work with Scottie.

MIKE: We're working
with Scottie?

I'm working with Scottie.

She's coming to
Bakersfield with us?

She's coming to
Bakersfield with me.

How can you do that to me?

I didn't do it to you.
She did.

She stole them.
Wait. What?

Relax, okay?

You're going to go on
another road trip someday.

No, Harvey,
you're not getting it.

We're going to lose
World War II.

DONNA: What do you want?

Coffee? Tea?

I'm good, thanks.

A woman who wants nothing.

I distrust that.

Who said I want nothing?

Oh, no one's ever
said that about you.

Oh. What have they said?

They?

You.

My opinion matters to you?

Your opinion matters to him.

I've only ever said good
things about you, Scottie.

But what have you thought?

Just don't screw with him.

Don't screw with him
or don't screw him?

Are you able to do
one without the other?

The other what?

I'll leave you two to business.

So. Are you going to
take me up on my offer

or are you going to fight me?

You tell me.

I think neither.

I think you want us
to try the cases together

and let my firm
bankroll the litigation.

Which is exactly what you
wanted the whole time.

You got me.

We'll start with Bakersfield.

You couldn't just go
for the direct approach?

You don't respond to the
direct approach, Harvey.

You like to feel you come
to things on your own.

Which is why we're not
starting with Bakersfield.

It's the clear choice.

Exactly. You knew it, my first
year knew it, and so will Hardman.

I'm not afraid of Hardman.
You should be.

And that's why
we're going to Parkville.

You mean the one division
with a female manager

and the best ratio of women
executives in the entire company?

No, I mean the one division where
Hardman will never think to find us.

Because it's the dumbest
place to start

and the hardest place to win.

And when we win it, all the
others will surrender.

What a surprise.

Harvey Specter wants
to do things the hard way.

What a surprise. Dana Scott's
looking for the shortcut.

And what makes you think that
he's not going to find out

that we're not still
going to Bakersfield?

We're still going
to Bakersfield.

We book a plane, hotel,

and line up depositions
there and all seven cities.

That plan isn't worthy
of our kind of money.

If you want
to overwhelm Hardman,

we go to all 45 cities.

Which is exactly what you
wanted the whole time.

You got me.

Hey. Um, I just wanted
to say I'm sorry.

And that you were right.
Jessica assigned you,

so you should take
the lead on Bakersfield.

What are you going to do?

I've got other things.
I'll be fine.

Good, you're both here.
Change of plan.

Uh, no need.
I already know.

So. This isn't about Parkville.

I'm deposing Hanley Folsom
in 36 hours,

and I need to know more about
him than his mistress does

before he gets here.

He has a mistress?

That would help, wouldn't it?

And you should already know
since you asked on this case.

Now, find me something.

What are you pissed about now?

Jessica assigned you?
No, you asked.

I asked and she assigned me.

That's how it works.

When you phrased it to me,
you picked language

that skewed a little bit
in your favor.

Like you just said,
"I've got other things,"

instead of telling me
the focus of the entire case

apparently just moved
to Parkville.

Which I don't
have a problem with,

but clearly you have
a problem with me.

My problem with you
is how you got here.

That's funny, because my problem
with you is how I got here.

What the hell
are you talking about?

Harvey offered me a job and I thought
it was because I'd impressed him.

Then, you showed up ready to break
privilege and I knew the real reason.

He was hiring me
to protect you.

Right. And then,
after you found out

the real reason for the offer,

you went to Harvey
and you said,

"I can't possibly accept employment
under those circumstances."

Oh, wait. No, you didn't.

You're damn right I didn't.

Because I couldn't, because
I had already given notice.

Stop taking everything so
personally and get over it.

Tell me you're not
having Lear envy.

It's nice.
Nice?

Should we have taken your jet?

Oh, wait.
You don't have a jet.

It's hard to park them
in Manhattan.

Oh, right. I forgot how
provincial Pearson Hardman was.

One office. One city.

One office. The city.

What?
It just occurred to me.

Oh, let me guess. There's an
advantage to being on the same side.

Well. We don't have to get
the business out of the way

before getting to the pleasure.

There's also a disadvantage.

Oh, let me guess.
You have some rule.

I don't cook in my own kitchen.
You cook?

It's a metaphor.
Yeah, I got that.

But you're in luck.

We are not in the same kitchen.

We are on this case.

Somebody didn't read
the paperwork.

When do I ever read
the paperwork?

We're still separate entities.

It's just a combined
legal action.

Oh. I like the sound of that.
I was hoping you would.

Are you going to litigate
me into sleeping with you?

I'm going to lead you right
where you're dying to go.

How long until we land?
Long enough.

Combined legal action.
Mmm-hmm.

You know, wait.

We didn't decide who's taking
the lead on the deposition.

Well, we could rock,
paper, scissors for it.

Oh. Or we can do this.

How will we know who won?

Oh, we'll know.
Mmm-hmm.

DONNA: Hey, sweetpants. I feel
like I never see you anymore.

So, I was wondering
if you want...

Oh, my God.
What happened?

You didn't get in.

I don't want to talk about it.

I understand.
(KNOCKING ON DOOR)

Hey, Rachel, I need your help.

Um... Yes. What do you need?
I'm ready to work.

Listen. If you need
help with any of it,

I'm going to be at my desk.

MIKE: Thanks, Donna.

Don't take it so personally.

What?

That's what someone said to me.

But whenever someone says
something's not personal, it is.

Because everything is personal.
I know.

What do you think
Hanley Folsom's

personal opinion is
on hiring women?

Uh, that he doesn't think
we're good enough.

But, I mean, it's not like
he would say it out loud.

Not at work.

Which is why you need access to
his personal correspondence.

Exactly.

That's outside the scope. Let's find
a way to put it inside the scope.

Do you have any ideas?

No, but I have 62 boxes

and 12 hours to find an idea.

Exactly what I need to do.
Let's go.

DANA: I told you I'd win.

Maybe I let you win.

You've never let anybody win
anything in your whole life.

Why would you start now?

Now, I get to demand a rematch.

And I get to lead
the deposition.

Parkville, Missouri. Of all the
places to run into you, Harvey.

Glad you could make it.

I almost didn't. I was on
my way to Bakersfield.

After all, Harvey Specter
had a flight booked there.

When suddenly, I had a thought.

What would Harvey do?
So, I checked.

And Dana Scott's
flight plan was here.

Can't get around those pesky
FAA regulations, can you?

I hope you've got
all the cities covered.

Because we've got
people everywhere.

Deep pockets.

Dana Scott. It's a pleasure.
Can't say the same.

You do like
strong women, Harvey.

(PHONE RINGING) And you
don't like women at all.

Oh. She's cute.

This should be fun.

Oh, I'm just getting
a call from my niece

who needs help
with her homework.

What do you got?

I know why they promoted
Cathleen Mitchell.

DANA: What is your title,
Ms. Mitchell?

Vice President,
Regional Services.

And how many management positions
are there in your region?

Six hundred and twelve.

And how many of those
are women?

Forty-one.

41 of 612.

That's, uh, 6.6 percent.

6.7 if you round up.
DANA: Let's not.

And who sets the hiring policy?

The hiring policy is that we hire
the best applicant for each job.

I'm confused. Are women
inherently inferior then?

No. Well, then, why is
it that your company

doesn't want to promote women
into positions of power?

I am in a position of power.

Yes. But you're not exactly
like other women, are you?

Harvey?

You applied four times
for management.

And you've been
rejected every time

due to reviews
containing the terms

"aggressive," "hostile,"
and "overly ambitious."

Then, suddenly you were dedicated,
hard-working, and a team player.

People change, Harvey.

And last I checked, you
have to ask a question.

I will, and it's about
that change.

Were you diagnosed with
uterine cancer in 2009?

That is not relevant.

Are you married? What
does that have to do...

Do you have any children?
No.

HARVEY:
Can you have any children?

This is beyond the pale, Harvey.
Even for you.

Should I read your deposition of
Jessica Pearson from two weeks ago?

That's a different case
and inadmissible here.

Did you or did you not
have a hysterectomy

that rendered you
unable to have children

nine months before
you were promoted?

DANIEL:
She is not going to answer.

HARVEY: Maybe not today. But it
will become part of the record.

Hanley Folsom
only promotes women

whose attention to home
and family isn't in question.

Except for one thing.
Mr. Folsom didn't know.

So you say.

He didn't know because
I didn't tell anybody.

Because it's my business. HARVEY: Still.
He found out.

And that's why you were promoted.
Harvey, that's enough.

DANIEL: Will you look
at that, Harvey?

Even Ms. Scott understands that
being childless and unmarried

doesn't make you damaged goods.

But if that's how you're framing
your argument, good luck.

We'll see you in Bakersfield.
And everywhere else.

How could you not tell me that
she'd had a hysterectomy?

Because I just got the information
on my way into the room.

And you couldn't take
five seconds to fill me in?

I didn't fill you in because I
wasn't sure you could play good cop.

Because you weren't sure
that I could play it

or because, even when we're on the
same side, you still want to win?

If I told you,
you wouldn't be pissed off.

Now, you can go to her and call
me an asshole with conviction.

You're an asshole.

Wait a second.

You're accusing me
of still trying to win?

You're the one who's still
trying to win something.

You know, I should have known.

It's never the whole
story with you.

What the hell's
really going on?

You beat me last time.

And ever since then,

Edward Darby hasn't seen me as
worthy of being a name partner.

Cooke would never allow
that to happen, anyway.

He can't stand Americans.

Cooke retired. And he decided
there's more to life than work.

So, if you deliver
a huge win...

I get my name on the door.

Why didn't you
just tell me that?

You always respond
to strength, not weakness.

Look at that.
You really did fool me.

If I'd known that you were
that good a performer,

I would have
let you be good cop.

(BOTH LAUGHING)

Cooke really decided there's
more to life than work?

Yep.

BOTH: Pussy.

Um, where have you been?

I've been right here.

I've been waiting. I finished
going through everything.

Me, too. It's all catalogued.
It's right there.

Okay. Good. Because I've
got to get it to...

Where's 15 through 20?

The boxes are right there.

Rachel, what's the matter
with you? Come on.

You're late.

Katrina handed me
her briefs an hour ago.

Um, yeah. I've, uh...
I've got most of mine.

Most?

If I can't count on you
for the effort,

how the hell am I supposed to
count on you for the results?

I'm sorry.

It was my fault. Um...

I'll get it done.
Too late.

Now, I have to call
Daniel Hardman and postpone

and look like a fool.
Thank you, Mr. Ross.

Look, Mike...
I don't want to hear it.

Just get it done.

Rachel?
Yes?

Katrina Bennett.
We haven't met yet.

Oh, I know who you are.
Welcome.

Louis says you're
the best paralegal around.

Thank you.

I need 40 copies of these.

And if you can duplicate the tabs and
have it back to me within an hour,

I will be eternally
in your debt.

Uh, Katrina, I'm... I'm so sorry.
I just can't.

I'm too busy right now.

Too busy on what?

I'm going back
through discovery

to see if I can find a door into
Folsom's personal correspondence.

That's a wild goose chase.
Who put you on that?

Mike Ross.

Well, I'm sorry you're busy working
on something for a first year.

But the Managing Partner
asked me to do something.

And I didn't tell her
I was too busy.

Right.

This is for the same
Managing Partner.

Yes, but she didn't ask for it.
Mike Ross did.

Look, I know you've
taken your LSATs

and you may well
be ready to be a lawyer.

But right now, you're not.
You're a paralegal.

I'm doing my job, and I
need you to do yours.

Rachel, do me a favor? Can you
just put that on pause for a sec?

Because I need to make a copy.

No, Louis, I can't.
I'm busy doing my job.

Excuse me?

What, are you going to fire
me like you fired Harold?

Because honestly, I...
I... I don't give a shit.

I get it. Rachel, listen.

I know about the Harvard thing.
And I think it's great.

What?
Yeah, Norma told me.

Rachel, I know that
waiting is hard.

But you're not going to
be here for much longer.

I've got 100% faith in you.

I didn't get in.

What?
I don't understand.

I had everything. My grades,
the LSATs, I'm a legacy.

And I don't even
puff myself up,

but I killed it
at that interview.

That doesn't make any sense.

And do you remember that
woman who came from Harvard?

She didn't like anyone,
but I swear she loved me.

Sheila.
Yeah.

Sheila. Sheila Sazs.
You remember.

Yeah, I remember.

Is there something wrong?

Yep. There is
something wrong.

I believe you were wronged.

I believe you suffered the slings
and arrows of outrageous wrongness.

And I will not have it.

What does that mean?

That means that I'm going
to rectify this situation.

Because you, Miss Zane?
You're going to Harvard.

Looks like somebody
had a good trip.

Not exactly. Though the
plane ride was fun.

As long as you didn't
hit any turbulence.

Jessica wants to see you.

I'll be right back.

Actually, she wants
to see both of you.

Jessica wants to see me, too?

Not exactly.

Your boss wants to see you.

I'll just ask the concierge
to find something.

DANA: Hello.
Ah. Dana.

And this must be
the man himself.

Edward Darby.

He doesn't seem stodgy at all.

Or that old.

You should see me
in my altogether.

Pass.
Fair enough.

Edward stopped in to take
stock of his investment.

JESSICA: So, how are we?

We're right on schedule.

Dana?

We've dropped a grenade. We're
just waiting for it to go off.

Meaning it hasn't.

Rome wasn't built in a day.

Excellent point. I needn't
have crossed the pond.

Yet, here you are.

Well, as I confessed
to Jessica,

I have an ulterior motive
in our little venture.

Daniel Hardman.

I've had the distinct
displeasure.

So, I have asked him
to step it up a notch.

Nice. Attack him
on all fronts.

DARBY: We have
clients everywhere.

Finding a bone
of contention with him

seemed the least
I could contribute.

Along with 12 million.

I hate talking numbers.
I prefer raking them in.

Well, I've done
what I came to do.

Now, I'm going to get
out of your way.

Nice to put a face to all this.

And a lovely face,
it turns out.

Thank you, Edward.

I was referring to your man.

(ALL LAUGHING)

I'll be waiting
for that detonation.

I trust it will come through.
Mmm-hmm.

(KNOCK ON DOOR)
You wanted to see me?

Yeah.

I wanted to explain
about earlier.

You don't have to.
It's fine. I overreacted.

Okay, then, I won't.

I will just tell you
I found what you needed.

What, like, you went through
the rest of the files?

No. I found
what you needed.

Access?
Hanley Folsom.

Personal?
Bingo.

Oh, my God. That couldn't
have come at a better time.

I would have found them
for you sooner,

but I had to copy
some bullshit for Katrina.

Why didn't you just tell her
you were working for me?

I told her exactly
what I was doing for you.

And she didn't...
Oh, God. Never mind.

I get it. She did
the same thing to me.

She pulls that fifth-year crap and
then you don't feel like dealing.

You have no idea.

What do we have?

Enough for you
to write a motion.

HARVEY: He seems nice.

He was pissed.

That was pissed? What
does happy look like?

He's British. Pretty much
the same thing.

Well, how did you know he was pissed?
Wouldn't you be?

I am. You haven't turned
Cathleen Mitchell. No.

Your good cop failed.

No. Your move failed.

Well, Jessica took it well.

Because she had company.
I'll hear about it later.

Does he do that? Just pop
in for a spot of tea?

12 million.

You weren't expecting him.

No, I wasn't.

But this is a big
investment for him, Harvey.

His investment is only money.

For me, it's my whole firm.

Excuse me, Harvey.
Do you have a minute?

You got here just in time.

I'm getting us access.

Hanley Folsom?
Bingo.

Well, if you're talking
about the July 29th reference

in his business email to his personal
email, then you're too late.

What?

Katrina gave me the subpoena
an hour ago.

Guess it's a good thing Jessica
put her on the case after all.

When people steal from me,
I take it personally.

Are you subpoenaing me?

You diverted Rachel and then
you pursued my idea yourself.

Your idea?

Are you denying it?

No. You said
we needed to fly.

So, I built an airplane.

And then flew it right into Harvey's
office just in time to take credit.

I offered you a chance
to work together.

You didn't want to take it.

You've always got an answer.

And you've always
got an accusation.

So, either run to Harvey and tell
him your little tale of woe,

or get to work prepping
for Folsom, like I am.

(SCOFFS)

(KNOCKING ON DOOR)

Louis.
Sheila.

Where is my interviewee?

I dispatched him.

That's unacceptable.

You are unacceptable.

Excuse me?

(DOOR CLOSING)

You behaved unprofessionally.

I never behave
unprofessionally.

Okay. Right. Ski mask
and coconut oil?

That was personal.

But you let the personal
color the professional.

And Rachel Zane will not be a
casualty of your misplaced anger.

Misplaced?

You made me look the fool.

I looked the fool.

You were collateral damage.

Not my fault, and it certainly
wasn't Ms. Zane's fault.

So, you're here to be her
knight in shining armor.

I'm here to right a wrong.

How very...
Very what?

Noble.

Yeah. It is.

And you're going to undo this.

I am.

That not what I meant.

But it's what you've caused.

I will not be denied.

Then come reap
what you've sowed.

Have at you.
Joust me.

I don't care what it takes. We
need to get to that smoking gun

before Katrina does.

She already found it.

Katrina gave it to Missy
Dietler to make copies.

I'm sure it's already in
Jessica's hands by now.

Wait a minute.
Missy Dietler?

She's going to take four coffee
breaks before she's done.

She's going to take
four coffee breaks

before she finishes
her coffee breaks.

Which means it's probably still
in the copy machine right now.

Missy's not going to leave the documents
just sitting in the copy machine.

No, but she probably
already scanned them.

So, all we need is her code.

You're talking about
stealing someone's work.

Mmm. Someone who lied
to you, stole from me,

and made us both look like fools.
(SIGHING)

Look. If you have any
qualms, think about it.

We're all on the same team.

The faster this gets done,
the better for everyone.

Oh, you've got an answer
for everything.

Well, so does she.

Are you sure
you want to do this?

Yes.

Uh, what are you doing?

Manningham's had a crush on
me since the day I got here.

He would give me his mother's
social security number

if I asked for it.

Okay. Rachel, we don't have much time.
I need a sure thing here.

Mike. I am a sure thing.

Yeah, I mean, give it a shot.

But it probably
won't work. But, um...

(SHEILA CHUCKLING)

That was brutal.

Deliciously brutal.

And your act of vengeance
raised my ire.

You, sir, are a knight.

And now, it is time
to right what is wrong.

Look, Sheila, I'm flattered
by what you did.

But this is not fair,
and you know it can't stand.

Louis, pull a resume
from the stack.

Any one. Read it.

Sure.

Magna cum laude.
Yale. 3.9 GPA.

Another one.

Summa cum laude,
Georgetown, 4.3 GPA.

Listen, I get it.
I know what you're trying...

That's my reject pile.

I am a professional.

I would never let
my feelings for you

sway me against a candidate.

Okay. But you have to let them
sway you for a candidate.

You can't ask me that.

Rachel Zane is
the best paralegal

in the best law firm
in New York.

She is relied upon
by the best lawyers

who have graduated
from the best university.

The woman is crimson.

So who do I knock out?

I promised her.

Louis, I liked her.
I did.

You're just going to
have to tell her the truth.

Sometimes good
isn't good enough.

So, how's that
detonation coming?

Long fuse.

Is that your way of telling
me that it's never going off?

Well, if it doesn't,
you could always

have James Bond
take care of it for you.

That reminds me. How are things
going with Pussy Galore?

Um. I believe, at this point, she's
still flying missions for Goldfinger?

(IN GERMAN ACCENT) No,
Mr. Bond, I expect you to die.

What the hell
are you doing here?

We can win Parkville.

This is the key to everything.

Well, then, we need to get Pussy
Galore back on that plane.

(ELEVATOR BELL DINGS)

Just remember what I told you,

no matter what happens...

Well, if it isn't
The Three Stooges.

Oh. Dibs on Curly.

Would you gentlemen mind accompanying
us to the conference room?

What is she doing here?

Dana Scott? She's the attorney
of record on the case.

He's referring to my employee.

Oh. Well, at the moment,
she's reading this.

An email you wrote
from your personal account

on the subject
of hiring Ms. Mitchell.

JESSICA: And next, we'll
show her the attachment.

It wasn't on your copy and oddly
enough, it wasn't on ours either.

Mike managed to find
the original.

We'll need time to review this.

Review it? He wrote it.

You knew she couldn't
have children

and that's why
you changed her review.

And that's why you
promoted her.

JESSICA: And when she sees
it, she'll join the suit.

And you won't stand a chance.

That email doesn't
prove a pattern.

It proves what he did to her.

It's one case.

We'll see you at the next 44.

In the meantime, we won't be
participating in that deposition

until you put Ms. Mitchell
back on a plane.

(ELEVATOR BELL DINGS)

How did it go?
It's not over yet.

But you're out of the
doghouse with Jessica. Out?

What?

You never said how it
went with Manningham.

(LAUGHING) And I never will.

Well. If it isn't
Bonnie and Clyde.

What are you doing
in my office?

Well, I didn't think you cared
to respect what's yours.

Or more to the point,
what's mine.

Your problem's not with her.
It's with me.

Okay. You stole my
discovery and you know it.

Oh, you mean
that piece of paper

that I turned into a strategy?

Or, as you like to call it,
an airplane?

Okay, fine.
I put my toe over the line.

You obliterated it.

Yeah, I'm so sorry.

But yesterday, you were the fifth-year
authority on right and wrong.

So, I... I was just
taking your advice.

And which side
of right and wrong

does sleeping with
the paralegals fall on?

Get the hell out of my office.

You're right.
That's none of my business.

But it's a good thing
you're going to law school.

Because they may sleep
with the paralegals,

but they end up
with the lawyers.

Of course when you called,
I popped straight over.

But I must say, you do keep uncivilized
hours in the Little Apple.

It's the Big Apple.

Well, then, someone's just
sold me a counterfeit T-shirt.

A sense of humor.
I love that in a man.

Which is why I'm prepared to consider
taking you up on your offer.

Might I inquire
what changed your mind?

What's this?

Our books from
the last five years.

If we're going to do this,

I want you to know exactly what it
is you're getting yourself into.

Now, start at the beginning.
It's a great read.

You are an impressive woman. Oh.
You don't know the half.

Well, here's to my further
education.

DANA: You're late.

It's not going to get you out
of buying me a drink first.

No more bullshit.

What? I just left
Jessica and your boss

and I know what I saw.

They're in bed together,
and I don't mean having sex.

They're talking merger.

It's not what it looks like.

Hardman can check a plane,
and I can check a plane.

Edward Darby flew here
the day you did.

He didn't just pop in.

He wasn't supposed to do that.

You don't want
your name on the door.

You want your name on my door.

I want to see our names
on the same door.

Yeah. Like I said, it's never
the full story with you.

I wanted to be able
to tell you myself.

Then, why didn't you tell me?

Because he wouldn't let
me until he decided.

Well, evidently,
he decided without you.

Okay, okay.
He jumped the gun.

But I have his promise, Harvey.

We merge, he names me
as partner.

And Jessica's only choice
is you.

I don't need you to get
my name on the door

any more than I need you
to win this case.

You know what, Harvey? You have been
outgunned ever since Hardman left.

I am bringing the guns. This is
exactly what you've always wanted.

Get over your pride.

I'm not getting over anything.

And this merger
isn't happening.

Thank you.

Jessica.

Edward.

Daniel. Haven't seen you
since that business in Milan.

Beautiful weather.
JESSICA: Oh, enough.

We are not friendly adversaries, Daniel.
And you're about to lose.

My client already said no.

He may no longer listen to you

when I inform him of
your prior embezzlement.

You told him.

I didn't tell him anything.

I found it on my own.

Edward and I are merging.
I had to show him the books.

Legally required
to show me her books.

And, unlike you,
I don't break the law.

A fact that Hanley Folsom could
be made acutely aware of.

You do break the law, Jessica.

Not reporting embezzlement
is a crime.

Why don't you bring that up
at your sentencing hearing?

Why don't I sue you?

You could.

Anybody could sue anybody.

But you still don't have
proof that I told him.

And our firms combined have 10 times
the resources that yours does.

Oh, wait.
You don't have a firm.

You're just here,
living in Zane's offices,

working on those cases that will no
longer be yours when we're done with you.

Goodbye, Daniel.

Oh. Get your client to sign
those papers, will you?

(DOOR CLOSING)

(KNOCKING ON DOOR)

What is it, Louis?

I've got a hard truth
to tell you.

I'm not going to Harvard.
No, you're not.

I get it. I'm not good enough.
I never have been.

That is not the hard truth.

You are an amazing candidate.

And you need to know
this in your heart.

The truth is,
you did not get in

because I let you down.

What are you talking about?

Sheila and I
had a relationship.

I hurt her. And, uh...

And she took it out on me?

I'm going to write you a
recommendation for anywhere.

Any law school.

It just...
Won't be Harvard.

I'm really sorry.
