Suits (2011–…): Season 3, Episode 11 - Buried Secrets - full transcript

I don't know anyone
that has ever made

a long-distance
relationship work.

But I can't stand
that I put you in this position,

and the only way
I can see out of this

is for you to go to Stanford.

Come after me, Tanner.
That's what you're here for.

You actually care about her.

You think he didn't say
some things in there

that got to me too?

Well, I'm not bringing them up,
because right now,

we need to stick together.



Sticking together
means telling the truth.

I can't stand
to see them come after you.

You think I can't take it!

Look, you're not listening
to me, okay?

I can't take it!

If all you want to do
is work with me,

I can find a job
somewhere else.

Scottie, that's not
all I want.

Then say it.

I want you in my life.

I don't want her to go,

and there's nothing
I can do about it.

I finished my list.

And?



You're staying?

Just try and stop me.

This place has every
Harvard law student file ever.

Do not touch
any of the files in here.

Mike Ross--
he's not here.

What are you thinking about?

You look beautiful.

Thank you.

What are you thinking?

That your furniture's
really old.

I think the word you're
looking for is "antiquey."

That is not a word, and
this sofa is Ikea circa 1994.

Okay, I get it.

So you get up early just so you
can do a thorough critiquing

of my furniture?

Actually, I got up early,
so I could figure out

if there's anything around here
that I could stand living with.

Ah...I'm sorry--do you want
to move in together?

Yeah, I mean,
if the offer still stands.

Are you kidding me?

So is that a yes?

Oh, no, this is a yes.

I figured out
what we can bring.

- What?
- You.

Panda, right here.

That's my favorite piece of art.

That is not art.

Grammy gave that to me.

Oh, I love it.
Panda can come.

And the chair.

Oh.

That was
Grammy's favorite chair.

I don't--I don't--

No, no, no, no, no,
I'm telling you, Rachel,

she used to sit in that chair
every Sunday

and drink her hot cup
of Hershey's cocoa

and tell me
all about growing up

on the mean streets
of Philadelphia.

When you lie,
try less details.

Got it.

Looking for me?

No.

The woman I'm looking for
is a lot more in my bed.

What can I say?
My schedule stops for no man.

Yes, but we've got
a little unfinished...

Business.

I wouldn't call last night
"unfinished."

And I wouldn't call it
"business."

I was talking about breakfast.

Harvey Specter
makes breakfast?

You never heard
of the Specter special?

I think I just had
the Specter special.

Oh, no, no, no, no.

The Specter special is--
Let me guess.

It's two eggs, over easy,

with a side of "Scottie,
I want you in my life."

Bacon.

And now I'm reconsidering
the "in my life" thing.

Oh, no, I saw your face.
You had your serious face on.

"Scottie, I want you
in my life.

Scottie...
I want you in my life."

You know what?
You don't deserve my bacon.

Oh, that's fine,
'cause I have to go anyway.

Where could you have to go?
You're unemployed.

Well, actually a top-tier
law firm offered me a job

last night,
and I thought it might be best

if I negotiate the terms
of my agreement

with the partner
I'm not sleeping with.

There's a slight problem
with that plan.

You offered her a job
before talking to me?

I didn't offer her a job.
I asked her if she wanted one.

I didn't want to waste
your time, and for the record,

we'd be lucky to have her.

I know that.

But my question isn't
why I should want her here,

it's why you would want
her here.

She's the best lawyer I know,
after me.

And you.

Are you sleeping with her?

Excuse me?

You have history
with this woman,

so I just want to know

are you doing this
because you feel sorry for her

or because you want to pay
her back

or because you love her
or what?

- It's none of your business.
- It is my business.

It is literally my business.

I want a relationship
with her.

Well, I'm happy for you.

I hope you two make a run at it.
Thanks.

I'll pretend you meant that.

Your track record
isn't great.

You've had three name partners
in two years.

Let's talk
about your commitment issues.

I'm not asking you

to give my commitment issues
a corner office.

You don't need to give her
a corner office.

Any regular office will do.

Harvey, I get it.

She's a catch, for you
and for this firm.

But what happens
when you two break up?

Who says
we're gonna break up?

Foreman versus Heart Med--
I want it.

"Good morning, Harvey.

What can I do for you today?"
I'm serious.

They're pushing for a settlement

because they know our client
can afford it.

I know they are.

You haven't even looked
at the file.

My name is on the door.

You think I don't know
our cases?

So why are we settling?

Because regardless
of the merits of this case,

it's not worth our time.

Harvey, listen--

Heart Med's in-house lawyer
negotiated this

because the bad PR costs them
more than the settlement.

We'd have to get the thing
dismissed to make it worth it,

and that's not gonna happen.

The lawyer is Nick Rinaldi.

- Who the hell is Nick Rinaldi?
- You don't remember?

I was 11 years old,
a little boy, powerless.

I watched him boil my parents'
lives down to a few dollars.

Yes.

I'm not gonna let that piece
of shit get a penny from us.

I said yes.

Thanks, Harvey.

You want to thank me,

why don't you go beat
the shit out of this guy?

Monday, 2:20 p.m.

This conundrum is burning a hole
in my brain.

Think.

Logically.

I mean, Sheila is professional
and meticulous

and wonderfully anal,

and if she says that nothing
gets misplaced

in her inner sanctum,
then I believe her,

which leaves
the national security option.

Is Mike Ross CIA?

Please.

There's a better chance
that Esther's in the KGB.

I mean, I can ask Sheila,

if I'm no longer fond
of my testicles, which--

wait a second,
missing testicles, missing file.

It can't be missing
if it doesn't exist.

Holy shit.

What if Mike Ross never went
to Harvard at all?

What if he just went to some
crappy third-tier law school,

like Fordham or Arizona State?

"Yeah, hey, bro.

"Yeah, no, I'll see you
at the party.

"I'm not going to study
for the bar.

"Damn straight, that's right,
bros before hos.

Oh, yeah, you know--"
all right, that's enough.

He's been peeing directly into
our pristine pool of eliteness.

He's been--oh, shoot,
it's blinking out.

Norma, really quickly,

I need you to get a pack
of rechargeable AAA--

shit, it's out.

So I guess I'm just talking
to myself.

Harvey convinced me,
so let's get to it.

- I want a relocation fee.
- Done.

And a 10% increase
on my signing bonus.

7%.

You gave Harvey 10%.

Do you think you're worth
as much as Harvey?

I'm less of a pain
in the ass.

10% it is.

Now, no one ever opens
with the big stuff,

so why don't you tell me
what you're really after?

You know what I'm after.

The name of the firm
is Pearson Specter.

It's changed too many times, and
it's not going to change again.

Never?

I never say never.

- That's all I'm looking for.
- Of course.

After all, who knows where any
of us will be in a few years?

You, me, Harvey.

I think we just changed
the subject.

We did.

Now it's time for me to tell you
what I'm really after.

You want to know how committed
I am to Harvey.

I want to know how committed
you are to me.

- How serious are you?
- About what?

Me.

We had this conversation.

We had this conversation

before it was going to cost me
$500,000.

Jessica's making you pay
the buy-in up front?

- Yep.
- Sh--.

What did you say?

Well, I said I don't want
to have to pay

a Harvey-Specter-girlfriend tax.

You're not exactly paying
a tax.

You're just buying in early.

Harvey, there's a reason
that firms are designed to have

a six-month trial period.

Yeah, to see
if it's going to work out.

- Exactly.
- Which you don't think it will.

I'm saying
that I need to know

what "I want you in my life"
really means.

You know what it means.

It means I want to have
a relationship.

But it doesn't mean that
I'm ready to give you a ring.

You think I'm ready
for a ring from you?

Then what are you ready for?

I'm ready for it not
to cost me a $1/2 million

if it doesn't work out.

So if it doesn't, are you
saying you're going to leave?

Would you want me to stay?

I don't even know what
you're gonna do to break us up.

Harvey, I'm not kidding.
I'm...

I'm scared.

You know, I just got an offer

from Latham & Watkins
in Chicago,

and I don't want to take it,
but...

I need to know that
you're serious about this.

Scottie, I am.

Yeah, but nobody's asking you
to put up $1/2 million.

Maybe we can make it

so nobody's asking you
to do that either.

Rinaldi.

You remember me?

James and Nina Ross.

That's good.

Finally know
my parents' names.

What you maybe don't know
is that I'm a lawyer,

I work for Pearson Specter,

and we're not going to be
settling this Foreman suit.

We had an agreement.

Yeah, maybe, but instead,

we're gonna be filing this.

There's no way you're getting
this case dismissed.

You know, I actually wanted
to believe that whole sob story

about being reformed, but--

My client is a widow,
not a drunk driver.

Oh, so you don't actually
bully the little guy anymore,

you just try
and capitalize on him.

Do you even know the details
of this case,

or are you just coming after us
because I'm on the other side?

No, I'm coming after you

because you're
a worthless ambulance chaser,

and I'm not gonna let you take
my client's money.

This is the second time
you've come after me

from out of the blue.

I apologized to you once.

I will not apologize
to you again.

You don't have to.

And we're not going to court,

because I'm gonna prove
you're full of shit.

You ready
for the deposition?

Yeah, of course I'm ready.

- Your fly is unzipped.
- No, it's not.

Didn't even flinch.

That means you're ready.

Then why are you still walking
with me?

'Cause I'm coming
to your deposition.

What?
Whoa, whoa, hey, hey.

You said that I could take
this case.

You told me I could kick
this guy's ass.

It's my deposition, not yours.

- I know.
- You know?

Why are you babysitting me?
I'm not babysitting you.

I want to watch you
kill this guy.

That's why I brought snacks.

You can't bring peanuts
into my deposition.

- Why?
- It's unprofessional.

So is that tie,
but I've made my peace with it.

Look, I don't give a shit

whether you made your peace
with it or not.

You want in my room?

You're not bringing peanuts.

You really are ready.

Here.

What's this?

Harvey's interviews
the day Mike Ross was hired.

But Mike Ross isn't on it.

Where'd you get this?

Doesn't matter where I got it.
The fact is I did.

Are you asking me
why Mike Ross isn't on it?

Yeah, Donna, that's
precisely what I'm asking.

How exactly did Harvey
find him?

We didn't find him,
he found us.

What are you talking about?

Mike hadn't signed up
for the interview on time,

so he pretended to be

one of the other associates
on the list.

He talked his way past me

and impressed the shit
out of Harvey,

whose main requirement was
somebody who had the balls

to do something like that
in the first place.

Okay.

What if he had the balls
to do something

a lot bigger than that?

What are you talking about?

I think Mike Ross went
to a subpar law school

and has been lying about it
the whole time.

Louis, listen to yourself.
You're talking about Mike.

You're insane.

I'm...

Okay, I was in the Harvard
file room with Sheila.

Don't ask details.

And I noticed Mike Ross' file
was not there.

You specifically looked
for his file?

Yes, and I looked
for Harvey's too,

and his was there.

And by the way,
he looked like a major douche.

So you looked at a grand total
of two files

out of tens of thousands,

and this is the conclusion
you jump to?

What is wrong with you?

You don't know Sheila.

She's like a surgeon,
and the files are her patients.

She doesn't make mistakes.

- You told her about this?
- Hell no.

She told me not to touch
any of those files,

and she'd kill me
if she found out that I did.

I just asked her
about it generally.

Well, of course she's
gonna say she never loses one,

but I can tell you
from personal experience,

anything can happen to a file.

I don't know.

Well, I do. I know Mike,
and I know he's for real.

But if you still doubt it,
there's an easy answer.

Just call up Harvard and ask
for a copy of his transcript.

And what if it's not there?

Then I will apologize
for calling you insane

and personally help you escort
Mike Ross out of the building.

Good-bye.

In 2002, you were sued
for the malfunctioning

of an earlier model
of the heart stent.

Is that correct?

Yes, and we admitted
wrongdoing.

The stent that was installed
in your patient was a new model

developed through three years
of extensive trials.

Making it outside the scope,
and frankly, not a good argument

for establishing pattern.

They saw a problem,
and they fixed it.

How horrible,
we should sue them.

We're not in court.

Opening statements
are made before a judge,

or have you never been
in court before?

I just wanted to give you
a taste,

seeing as we're never
actually gonna get there.

A dismissal is
never gonna happen, son.

Sorry for your loss, son.

What?

I'm saying, don't hope
for a dismissal.

Please direct your questions
to our client.

That wasn't a question.
It was a comment.

Here's a question for you,
Mr. Dimond.

What is this really worth
to you?

You may think you have
a defense.

Your lawyer certainly thinks
you do.

But I just want to be clear
about the facts.

What is this really worth
to you?

There's no question,
this was a terrible accident.

But let's be clear
about the facts.

His blood alcohol level
is an issue here.

If you pursue this in court,

there's no guarantee
you'll receive anything.

Think about the boy.

Think about what he needs.

Something is better
than nothing.

Stop stalling, Mr. Ross.

- Um, I--
- He's not stalling.

And we're under no obligation

to disclose trials
from an earlier model.

It's beyond the scope.

Our expert will place
that study within the scope.

Um, uh--

If there isn't a trial,

your expert won't have
any scope to place it in.

And since you insist
on asking questions

we're under no obligation
to answer,

this deposition is over.

What the hell happened
in there?

You said you wanted to watch,
not hijack my case.

You said
you were going to kick his ass,

not drift
into never-never land.

- I'm handling it.
- Handling it?

I could've eaten
that whole bag of peanuts

in the pause you took
to answer that question.

You got thrown,
and I bailed you out.

Harvey, this is my case.

This is not your case.
It's the client's case.

And after what happened
in there,

they're in a worse position
than when we started.

Look, I know I got thrown,
but I can still recover.

Maybe, but they're gonna call
in a half an hour

wanting to take the deal,

and when they do,
I'm gonna buy you one day,

and then
I'm pulling the plug.

Hey, do you have a minute?

- I'm a little busy right now.
- We have a problem.

Scottie's not going to be
a problem.

I thought it through--
Louis might be onto Mike.

He found out that Mike
doesn't have a file

in the Harvard file room

and that he wasn't
on your original interview list.

What did you tell him?

Well, I handled the list.

- What about the other?
- What could I tell him?

I mean, I told him
if he was so curious,

he could order a copy
of Mike's transcript.

Then we don't have
a problem.

Well, don't you think maybe
we should do something else?

Anything else is just going
to make him more suspicious.

- Are you sure?
- Yeah, I'm sure.

Okay.

Oh, wait a second.

Where did you say
Louis was again?

Oh, he was
in the Harvard file room.

How was he
in the Harvard file room?

He has a relationship
with Sheila Sazs.

What?

Yeah, never mind.
We're good.

Oh, thank you,

but I'm sorry,
I don't have time.

It's food.
It's not going to stop you.

It's going to keep you going.

Yeah, I don't need food.

I need to find something
I can take

to this dismissal hearing
tomorrow.

Mike, it was
a pretty decent settlement.

Would it really be so bad
to just take it?

My dad was one of those guys

who liked to celebrate
everything--

the half birthdays
or first time

I struck someone out
at Little League.

And the last time I saw them,
they were celebrating

the anniversary
of their first date.

They were so excited,
all dressed up,

and I was annoyed,

because I didn't want
to spend the night

at my grandmother's house.

So before they left,

my dad came upstairs
to say good-bye,

and I told him that celebrating
a first date was stupid.

And he just looks at me like,

"Michael, you have no idea

how important
a first date can be."

Theirs must have been
a great one.

No, no, no,
it was a total disaster.

He spilled wine all over her.
He forgot his wallet.

And then, for some reason,
this woman, you know--

this woman who he knew
was just perfect--

agreed to a second date.

And a third.

And everything after that.

I wish
I could have met them.

He tried
to hug me good-bye...

But I didn't hug him back.

I didn't even go downstairs
to say good-bye to my mom.

And then they were gone.

And then the next morning,
Rinaldi shows up at our house,

and he offers my grandmother

the equivalent
of one year's rent.

Rinaldi didn't kill
my parents,

but he did try to tell me
what their lives were worth.

And I'm sorry, but I know that
my mom and dad were worth...

A lot more than that.

Forget the food.

Give me half the files.

What about a hedge fund guy?
It's big money.

Think bigger.

Obama.

I'm not going to land
the president

as my first client.

Fine, if you don't think
you can.

You're not going to manipulate
me into trying to land Obama.

Well, it better be somebody
like that,

or Jessica won't give up
on her early buy-in bullshit.

What if I got myself
a sports guy?

The very fact that you call it
"a sports guy" means it's a no.

Harvey, just because
I don't know sports

doesn't mean I don't know you.

What are you talking about?

If I'm going to change
Jessica's mind,

I can't just land someone,

I have to land someone
you couldn't.

There's no one
I couldn't land.

You think I don't know
about Beijing?

That's his word
against mine.

Oh, well, um, I guess
we can clear that up right now,

because look
who just walked in.

You knew
he was coming here tonight?

You think
I like Argentinean food?

I just need you to stop him
for a second.

I get it.

You got the idea
from Working Girl,

when they crash the wedding
to get to Trask radio.

Harvey, I'm not
a 14-year-old girl.

I don't get my ideas
from movies.

Michael.

Harvey.

I have no interest
in talking to you.

Hi. Dana Scott.

I work with Harvey,
and I don't blame you.

I wouldn't want him
to represent me either.

But he's not
the only lawyer there.

Let me guess.

You've done your research
on my record,

and you're here to impress me.

That's what
every other lawyer would do.

- I didn't do that.
- Harvey, shut up.

I don't give a shit
about how fast you used to swim.

I only care about how fast
I can make you money.

How fast is that?

Why don't you sit down,
and I'll tell you?

- All right.
- Okay.

Harvey, you mind?

- Actually, I--
- Great.

I'll see you tomorrow.

Good to see you, buddy.

So what really happened
in Beijing?

Let's get a drink first.

Sounds good.

Doctor, how routine
is this procedure?

Sid Foreman
should have been dancing

at his daughter's wedding
a week later.

Instead, he went
into heart failure.

Dr. Lombard,
on December 7, 2006,

did a patient die on your table
during a routine angioplasty?

Objection, Your Honor.
Relevance?

It speaks
to his qualifications

as an expert witness,
Your Honor.

I'll allow.

Yes, a patient died.

And was a malpractice suit

filed against you
for physician error?

That case was sealed.

I didn't ask you
if it was sealed.

I asked if it was filed.

It was.

- And settled?
- For almost nothing--

Objection, Your Honor.

Move to strike.
The case is sealed.

The witness
isn't allowed to testify

to the details
of that settlement.

Sustained.

Have you practiced medicine
since?

Yes, I've been practicing.

I'm sorry, what I meant to say
is have you performed surgery,

the job you spent seven years
training to do?

No.

What, loss of confidence?

They wouldn't let you?

Objection.
Speculation.

I want an answer
to my question.

I chose to do other things.

Other things
that don't involve the chance

of you killing people?

- Objection!
- Withdrawn.

What's your primary source
of income?

I work as an expert witness.

So you testify now
to make a living,

because you don't trust yourself
to do the job

that you were trained to do?

I can speak to the facts
of this case--

Yes, you can speak to them,

but how are we supposed to trust
your opinion about them

when you clearly
don't trust yourself?

You raised some doubts
about my expert.

That isn't gonna get
this case dismissed.

Maybe not,
but if that's the best expert

you can come up with,
then your client

just got a taste
of how this trial is gonna go.

My client
is not gonna drop this case,

and neither am I.

Well, then you are forcing me
to use this.

It's a picture of Mr. Foreman
at his daughter's wedding.

It's a picture of Mr. Foreman
drinking alcohol

at his daughter's wedding.

It's a toast.
It was one sip.

One sip two hours before his
stent supposedly malfunctioned.

Alcohol was strictly forbidden
following his surgery,

which makes him liable
for his own death.

This is a total twisting
of the facts.

You can't prove
this caused anything.

You can't prove
it was only one sip,

and it doesn't matter,
because I submit this,

it's contributory negligence,
and your case is gone.

And you say I'm a monster.

Being a monster would be
putting your client

on the stand
and making her testify

that her husband's death
was his own damn fault.

Hi, Donna.

Hi, Louis.

I'm nothing
if not a big man,

and I am not ashamed
to admit when I am wrong.

You got Mike's transcript.

Arrived this morning.

Imagine that,
Mike Ross went to Harvard.

What a shocker.
You were right.

Never should have doubted it.

You know, it's just hard
to imagine a world

in which Sheila made
a mistake, though.

Well, it's just good
you can put this to bed

once and for all.

Yeah, see, that's the thing.

If Sheila's competence
is that important to her,

I need to tell her about this,
so she can fix it.

You know what, Louis?

It occurred to me
after we talked

that I'm the only one who has
the list of associates

that interviewed
with Harvey that day.

That can't be right,

'cause I got a copy
off the general server.

You got a copy
by bullying Benjamin

into accessing my private files
off my hard drive.

- That doesn't sound like me.
- Louis--

Okay, I did it, but that was
only 'cause I was concerned.

So your concern gives you
the right to invade my privacy?

I--what?
No, it was just a file.

How dare you?

You pretend to be
this gallant man.

You make a big show of how you
would never cross into my area

without my permission.

I am gallant,
and I would never dare.

You wouldn't dare, because
you'd have to do it to my face.

But you have no problem breaking
my trust behind my back,

and that not only pisses me off,

but it makes me question...

Whether I want to have
a relationship with you at all.

I'm so sorry, Donna.

No, Louis, you know what--

- No, no, no, Donna, I'm sorry.
- No, I can't.

- No, no, no, no.
- I can't--I can't even--

- I'm sorry, I'm sorry.
- No, shh! Don't speak.

I cannot even look at you
right now.

And I don't even know
why I'm gonna tell you this,

but if you pissed me off
that much,

what do you think
Sheila's gonna do

when you tell her
you violated her trust?

Huh?

You're right.

Thank you, Donna,

for putting your anger on hold
long enough to help me salvage

the single most important
non-feline relationship

of my life.

- Someone's been a bad boy.
- Sheila.

You thought
I wouldn't find out?

I hoped you wouldn't.

If you wanted a pair
of my underwear,

you should have just asked.

Oh, that, Sheila.

God, what are you doing here?

Aren't you happy I'm here?

Of course, absolutely.

- You don't seem happy.
- I'm overjoyed.

I'm just, you know--
I'm just surprised.

But you're all nervous
and sweaty.

Come on, you know
my sweat ducts get excited

when they see you.
Good.

Because your sweat ducts are
going to be working overtime.

What?

The Chilton,
room 305, tonight.

You didn't have to come

all the way over here
just to drop the case.

I came here to tell you
you're doing the wrong thing.

I don't need a lecture
from you on right and wrong.

You once asked me
how I live with myself.

Well, somewhere along the way,
I realized I had a choice

not to be on the side
that made me feel like shit.

You're on that side now.
Yeah, I don't feel like shit.

That's because you're telling
yourself you're doing your job.

And I'm telling you
that you're bullying someone

who deserves your sympathy.

You really want to play
the bullying card?

My grandmother lost
her only son.

You used her grief
against her.

This has nothing to do
with that.

Look, I know, you need me
to be the villain--

No, no, no, no, no.

You are the villain.

Well, then congratulations,
because you just became me.

What are you talking about?

Your father had two drinks
on the night he was killed.

That was the reason I was able
to get your grandmother

to settle.

It's not every day
I get off the elevator

and find someone in my firm
that makes me look short.

So you've seen
our newest client?

You mean
Scottie's newest client.

Michael Phelps may be
her client,

but we're gonna get Speedo.

And why should that
make me change my mind?

Because their fee
is worth more than her buy-in.

You still think
this is about money.

I told this to Scottie, and now
I'm going to tell it to you.

We've had too much turnover.

We can't have any more.

Jessica, I'm telling you
she's in.

Then she shouldn't have
any problem putting her money

where her mouth is.

It's not right.

Harvey, it's time
you and I had the talk.

I know
where babies come from.

But do you know how couples
stay together?

What are you getting at?

When Daniel and I
took over the firm,

we had a heart-to-heart.

He had a philosophy
that I agreed to live by.

Daniel was a piece of shit.

Doesn't mean
his philosophy was.

I'm listening.

He told me,
for a partnership to work,

there has to be trust between
number one and number two.

You don't have
to agree with me,

but you have to trust
that I listen to you,

that my decisions
are reasoned,

and that I am doing
what I think is right.

Jessica--

You can't have
two presidents, Harvey.

Now I chose to trust you
when you said

you didn't want to be
managing partner.

Was that true or not?

It was.

Then I need you
to accept this.

What if I had an idea

where maybe we can both get
what we want?

I'm listening.

That's never happened
to me before.

- It's okay.
- No, it isn't.

Black Hawk Down.

First of all,

that's an amazing movie,
and you should be proud

that you are associated
with it.

And second of all, I think
I know what the problem is.

You do?

It's about what happened
in the file room.

Listen, Sheila,
I can't tell you

how that's been weighing
on my mind.

No, I get it.

Now that we've declared
our love,

you think of me
as a good girl.

And you need me to be bad.

- What?
- It happens all the time.

We're in a relationship now,
and you think that changes

the nature
of our sexual relationship.

But I am here to assure you...

I can be bad.

Okay, that's not actually
what--

Liar.

Whoa.

Take it easy.

I am being serious right now.

You think
I'm not being serious?

I'm deadly serious.
Ow.

- Say it again.
- Ow.

Ooh.

Ooh.

Well, what do you know?

The Dark Knight Rises.

- She went for it.
- She did?

One catch.

What?

You have to sign
an ironclad noncompete.

You can't represent

any Pearson Specter clients
if you leave.

- Including Phelps?
- Including Phelps.

How is that any different
than paying in early?

It's $1/2 million different.

Harvey.

Scottie, this is the best
we're gonna do.

Phelps brings in the money.

But if you leave
and take him away,

what good does that
do Jessica?

Jessica or you?

Are you kidding?
Are you questioning me?

You've been known
to manipulate situations before.

If it were up to me,
I'd waive your whole buy-in.

Now I know
you're full of shit.

You're right, I am.

So get your check ready, 'cause
in six months, you're paying it.

Are we really doing this?

Sign it.
Give it to Jessica.

Tomorrow we'll celebrate
with dinner at my place.

Where did you get this?

Rinaldi.

Mike, I know
what you're thinking,

but your father
wasn't legally drunk.

Yeah, but he wasn't sober
either.

And how do I know
those two drinks aren't

the split second
that he needed not to...

You don't know
that this had

anything to do
with the accident.

Rachel, do you have any idea
how many times I have wished

that they hadn't gone out
that night

or that they had taken
a different route home

or any one
of a thousand other things,

but the one thing--the
one thing that I never wished

is that my father
hadn't been drinking

the night that he got killed
by a drunk--

I know he wasn't perfect.

But he was.

He was perfect to me, and...

I don't want
to have to wonder

if this is all his fault.

Mike.

He is just trying
to get to you.

Well, he's got to me.

I mean, how am I any different
than him, Rachel?

Because it's
a bullshit claim.

I don't know.

I know I'm gonna win.

But I don't know.

Ah, there you are.

Been looking all over for you.
Why?

I just wanted to apologize
once again

for crossing the threshold
of your electronic area.

It's okay, Louis.

No, no, I breached
your mainframe.

No excuse.

Why is your face so red?

It's because you gave me the
greatest advice in the world.

What are you talking about?

Let's just say that I'm never
gonna tell Sheila what I did

in that file room
that night, ever.

Apology accepted.

Now if you'll excuse me,

I need to put some peas
on my face.

Your move didn't work.
I didn't go into a tailspin.

I wasn't trying to send you
into a tailspin.

I was just trying to get you
to understand.

Well, I do understand.

That doesn't mean
I'm gonna sell my client out.

Then why are we here?

You want to sue someone,
you should sue these people.

They're the ones
that make the medicine

that stent was coated with.

And you know that medicine has
something to do with this case?

I know there's
as much evidence against them

as there is against my client.

That's why
you're pointing me there,

because they're not
your client.

You know, nothing's gonna
bring Mr. Foreman back.

Just like there's nothing

that's gonna bring
my parents back.

This is the best way I can see
to get your client compensation.

If you think you're doing
the right thing, you're wrong.

I'm trying to help,

but I'm not gonna sell
my client out.

It's a half measure.

All right,
then here's the other half.

I pointed out
your achilles' heel

when I found that photo,
and I found it on Facebook.

Do your client a favor,
and have them take it down

before you file that suit.

So you're gonna fly back to
London, get your life in order,

and move back in two weeks.

Tickets are booked.

Here's to
your new partnership.

I just have one question.

Why did Jessica specifically
make me agree to something

that's a standard part
of your contracts?

You checked up on me.

I didn't check up on you.
I'm thorough.

What's the difference?

God damn it, Harvey,
don't change the subject.

What did you do?

I fronted your buy-in.

I knew it.
You bought me.

I didn't buy you,
I bought us time.

That is a lawyer's response,
and it's bullshit.

How could you do that?

Scottie, you're acting
like I killed someone.

I didn't.

You paid so that
I could sleep with you

and be here at the same time!

Do you know what that makes me?
Lucky?

- That's not funny.
- I didn't mean it to be.

I paid
because I want you to stay.

I did it
as a romantic gesture.

Yeah, well,Pretty Woman
may have been a romantic movie,

but Julia Roberts
was still a hooker.

Now you come up
with a movie reference?

Harvey, can you imagine
how that makes me feel

to find that out?

Well, what do you
want me to say, huh?

I'm not perfect at this,

and you don't have to believe
that was romantic,

but it would be nice if you
believed that I thought it was.

Harvey, it would
have been romantic

if you had begged me to stay
when Jessica wouldn't budge,

but this,
this is not romantic.

This is manipulative.

You were about to take
a job somewhere else.

That's what
makes it manipulative!

Are you telling me you've
never been manipulative with me?

Not since I've been back.

I had to learn the hard way,

and I'm afraid that
you haven't learned that at all.

So you're saying
I'm an asshole?

Yes, that is what I'm saying,
that you are an asshole,

but what I'm really saying

is that we need to start
being honest with each other.

- About everything?
- Everything.

You know that paper
you had to redo,

because Professor Gunn
said he never got it?

Mmhmm.

He never got it.

Son of a bitch.

How was I supposed to know

you didn't save it
to your hard drive?

Because I told you that.

You know I don't listen
when you say things.

You are an asshole.

This is good.

Honesty is good.

I told Rebecca Carlin
you were gay.

She slept with me anyway.

Once.

Yeah.

Why did she only
sleep with me once?

Because I also told her
that you had crabs.

That's not cool.

This is good.

It is.

I am in this, Scottie.

Okay.

So am I.

Well, let's see what you got,
Michael James Ross.

Magna cum laude.

So Mr. Smarty Pants couldn't
even manage summa cum laude?

Yeah, well, so what
if I couldn't either?

What? No Law Review?

Well, either you weren't asked,
or you didn't serve.

Either way, I win.

"A."

"A."

B-plus in International Law?

Oh, come on, I aced that class
with my eyes closed.

"A" in contracts.
That's legit.

A-minus in Estate Planning?

Remind me to not die intestate
with Mike Ross around.

Tape measure,
as requested.

You look really excited.

- Long day.
- I know.

Is there any chance
we can punt this,

maybe go grab some dinner?

We could, or we could accept
that moving in together

sometimes means we have to
just shake off our crappy days

and deal with things
like furniture negotiations.

Yeah, that doesn't sound

like anything
I want to accept at all.

Too bad.

This is your life now.

Rachel, look, I'm trying...

You said that your dad liked
to celebrate the little things,

and I thought maybe we
should start doing that too.

You mean like
furniture negotiations?

Mmm, I mean
our first date.

So does that mean I'm not
gonna be able to eat anything?

'Cause I didn't like anything
on the menu that night.

That wasn't our first date.

Our first date
was in the law library.

- Sushi.
- Sushi.

That was my first case.

I know.

Oh, you were so green.

Harvey came in and told us
to stop playing footsie.

Oh, I remember that.

I wanted to do a lot more
than play footsie with you.

I know.

I caught you staring at me
five times.

Oh, so I guess you didn't
catch all the other times then.

I did, just trying to let you
off the hook.

Rachel...

This is perfect.

Not yet.

Now it is.

So where's the chair?

No.

You wanted to see me?

Professor Gerard's
legal ethics class--you take it?

Of course,
everyone had to take it.

What'd you get?

Killed it.
I got an A-minus.

Out of curiosity,

did you ever hear of anybody
ever getting an A-plus?

What? No.

He's famous for never
giving higher than an "A."

He doesn't believe in it.

Thank you, Simon.
That'll be all.
