Suits (2011–…): Season 4, Episode 11 - Enough Is Enough - full transcript

Mike Ross never
went to law school.

I knew it,
and I hired him anyway.

I still can't stay, Harvey.

I know. I just want to stop
lying to the people I love.

This makes it look like Forstman's payment
never went to any offshore accounts.

That's forgery. Which is less
of a crime than what you did.

I had no choice! HARVEY:
Bullshit, you had no choice!

You could've said no at any
goddamn point along the way.

One thing is for sure.
When all this is over,

I'm gonna fire
the shit out of you.

I went to Robert Zane and I
asked him to give Louis a job.



You want to see if I can break
my partnership agreement.

If you can't do that, what
the hell good are you?

Louis won't be going to Zane.
And neither will you.

I'm here to ask you
to take Louis anyway.

And why would I do that?
If you do, I'll owe you one.

Mike Ross doesn't
forget anything.

See, the reason
he didn't recognize this

was because
he didn't go to Harvard.

You've been lying to me since
the day Mike Ross arrived.

I am your friend, Louis.
No, you're not.

And don't you ever
say that to me again.

You might as well spit it out.

You asked me what I wanted
once before and I told you.

And then, you told me
that I couldn't have it.



Pearson...

Specter...

Litt.

The whole world's
sitting on a ticking bomb

The whole world's
sitting on a ticking bomb

So, keep your calm and carry on

The whole world's
sitting on a ticking bomb

The silent war has begun

We're staring down a loaded gun

No refuge found on solid ground

The whole world's
sitting on a ticking bomb

Want to tell me what was so
important I had to get back here?

He knows.

I know what you're thinking.
Why didn't Donna tell you?

I'll tell you why.

Because as my first official
act as name partner,

I told her not to.

What?
You heard me.

You can look at her as long as you want.
She can't help you.

Because my name is going up
there first thing tomorrow.

No, it isn't.
Yes, it is.

But it won't be tomorrow.

I'm not waiting just so
you can have your own...

Louis, I have to sell this
to the senior partners.

I can't just slap your name up there
one morning. You did it for him.

I didn't resign the week before.
I don't care.

Louis, that's enough.

This is going to take time.

And while it does, you're going
to keep this to yourself.

Bullshit. You're just trying to buy
time so you can get out of this.

I'm not trying to buy anything.

We have an agreement.

And this is for your own good.

Well, for your own good,

you better remember what I'll
do if this takes too long.

Please tell me you had no other choice.
You know damn well I didn't.

No, I don't. That's because
you didn't see him.

All he's ever thought about since the
day he was born was getting this.

So, if I have to choose between
giving it to him and going to jail...

He really threatened that? He didn't
just threaten it. He was going to do it.

And what are we going to do?
We are going to take it.

We give him this,
it is never gonna end.

Harvey, before you say
another word to me,

I want you to think
about the fact

that I just ate
a big bowl of shit

because you brought that kid into
my house, and I had to take it.

So, you're going to take it.

Ripped By mstoll

Harvey. You don't
need to say it.

Yeah, I do.

Louis came looking for you
and I didn't know what to do.

He was going to call Sheila
and tell her everything.

I'd never seen him like that before.
Donna, this is not on you.

Yes, it is.

He pressed me and I broke.

It doesn't matter,
because he already knew.

How can you know that? Because
I know Louis and I know you.

And he couldn't have broken you,
unless he knew the truth already.

So, this is not your fault, and I never
want to hear you say that again.

I should have at least warned
you before you got here.

All that would have done was
antagonize him even more,

because he would have
known you did it.

You did everything you
could have done. Okay.

We have to tell Mike.

No, we don't. Not now.
Harvey.

I'll tell him in the morning.

We just had a huge win and I am not
in the mood to ruin his night.

Louis.

What are you doing here?

They didn't tell you.
Tell me what?

Jessica made me name partner.

But, uh... But... But...
But what?

I resigned in shame?

Well, that's all changed.
And it's all because of you.

Remember this?
No, you don't.

Because you can't remember
something you never knew.

Cool to the end.

Well, it doesn't matter,
because Donna told me.

And Harvey.

And Jessica.

When I told them that I
knew that you were a fraud,

did they run from you like you
were the plague. What do you want?

I already got what I want from you.
Name partner.

You must want something else.
Otherwise, you wouldn't be here.

See, that's what
I love about you, Mike.

Almost always a step ahead.

What I want from you is to know
that you're dead at my law firm.

You can't fire me.

Why would I fire you,
when I can break you?

You see, I'm going to bury you
under a mountain of shit so big,

you're going to be
begging me to take it off.

And all you'll have to do
is say two simple words.

The same two words that you let
me say to Harvey and Jessica.

"I resign."

Louis.

What are you doing here?
Leaving.

That way, I don't have to look
at either one of you two liars.

Oh, my God, he knows.

He doesn't just know.

He's a name partner.

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 know. Yeah, I know. And a little
heads up would have been nice.

I wanted to give you the night.

Well, the night
kind of got blown up

when Louis showed up
at my apartment

and said he was
going to break me.

What do you want from me, Mike?

I want to know how you let him

become name partner.

Would you rather we let
him go to the police?

Come on. I don't believe that Louis
would actually go to the police.

He would.
Because Jessica said he would.

So, if you're here to say that

we can figure some
way out of it,

that's not going to happen.

He knows.

And it's done.

Did you hear what I said?

Louis came to my apartment
filled with rage,

and he told me he was making it

his personal mission
to break me.

Then, you make it your
mission not to let him.

Harvey, he's name partner.

Did I ever tell you
the story about the gym?

I'm really not in the mood
for a story right now.

Well, you're going
to hear it anyway.

When I was a kid, my father
put me in boxing camp.

Middle of summer, 90 degrees.

Every day after
sparring in that,

they'd make you do 100
laps and 50 pull ups.

They'd push you until you either
threw up or passed out or both.

Anyone could leave at any point,
all you had to do was quit.

And let me guess,
you didn't quit.

I quit every goddamn day.

I just never said it out loud.

Because no way was I
going to give them

the satisfaction of breaking me.

So, I guess it's time for me to
drop down and give Louis 20.

I think it's going to be a
little more than 20, buddy.

I see you noticed I scraped your
little associate title away.

You scraped it away.

Yeah. Just like I'm going
to scrape you away.

Starting with these.

Well, Louis, go ahead.

Give me all of the shittiest
cases that you can find.

But I'm telling you,

it's not going to break me.

You overestimate yourself.

Did you think when I said

I was going to bury you
in shit, I meant legal work?

No, no, no.

You're not a lawyer, which
means you must be a paralegal.

And that's exactly the kind of
work you're going to be doing.

Louis, you can't do this.

Everyone out there
thinks of me as a lawyer.

And two days ago, they thought of me
as someone who used to work here.

Look at us now.

Oh, and if you're thinking of crying to
Harvey, that would be a major mistake.

Because this is
between you and me.

What are you doing here?

I'm here because I know you're
angry and you're feeling betrayed,

but I am not going to let you
throw our friendship away.

I can't throw away something that
never existed in the first place.

Louis...
Donna, we're not friends.

We never were friends, because
it was all based on a lie.

So you think my giving you this,

and every other nice thing
that I ever did for you,

was just to keep you from
finding out about Mike?

No, I don't.

But I do think, if you had the chance to
take back all those nice things you did

in exchange for me never finding
out about your little secret,

you'd do it in a heartbeat.

You want a chance
to tell me the truth?

Go ahead. Tell me
the truth right now.

And that answers my question.

You know what, Louis?
It was a bullshit question

designed to do nothing
but make me feel like shit.

Mission accomplished.

And now, I'm going to tell you what
I told Mike. You're dead to me.

Okay. You want to
hate me? Hate me.

You want to hate
Mike? Hate Mike.

But everybody at this firm
can't be dead to you

because sooner or later,
you're going to need someone.

Thank you, Donna. But that
someone isn't going to be you.

Donna said you wanted to see me.

No, I didn't want to see
you, I needed to see you.

I know you're under
a lot of stress,

but that was
a one-time thing.

I don't need you
to do that to me.

Louis has already done it.

What are you talking about?
Look at this.

He's buried me
in paralegal work.

Okay, that's bullshit. He
can't treat you like that.

Rachel, I don't care how he treats me.
All right?

I can take it until
he gets over this.

But look at these deadlines.

There's no way I can get all of this
work done on time without your help.

I will do whatever you need. But,
Mike, he is not going to get over it

unless you make him get over it.
Rachel, please.

Mike.

The day after what happened in
here happened, I shut you out.

But then, a week later,
you came to my door

and you said you weren't going
to let me go without a fight.

That is not the same. I wanted
you to fall in love with me.

I was already in love
with you and you knew it.

Yeah, well, Louis is a lot of things,
but he's not in love with me.

He used to be.

You just have to
make him remember that.

Okay. The first thing we need to
do is finish all of this work.

Okay. Unless, of course,
that offer still stands.

I don't recall making an offer.

You did say, "Whatever I need."
That's not what I meant.

And then you said, "Never
take no for an answer", so...

Okay.
Lock the doors.

Are you serious?
Take yes for an answer.

I'm locking the door.

Louis, you sounded urgent on the phone.
What's going on?

I'll tell you what's going on.
I'm back at Pearson Specter.

What? I don't understand.
Let me explain it to you.

I just became name partner.

Louis...

This is amazing.

I'm so happy for you.

Okay. Well, you can keep
being happy for me

but you better start being happy for
you because I'm bringing you back.

What? I don't... Oh!

Katrina Amanda Bennett,

will you be my associate?

Louis Marlowe Litt,

I will be your
associate. Again.

You've just made me the
happiest attorney on Earth.

When do we consummate our
new pre-existing relationship?

As soon as my new
position is official.

Wait, why isn't it official?
I can't tell you that.

Louis, I think I've more
than proven you can trust me.

No, are you kidding me? You're
the only one I can trust.

It's not that. It's just... Okay, Louis,
you don't need to tell me. But...

...if you won't tell me,
and they won't tell the world,

something's wrong. Katrina,
I know what I'm doing.

And Jessica knows
what she's doing,

which is playing you for a fool.

Harvey, I was just
gonna call you.

I'll save you the trouble. We're
bringing Louis Litt back to the firm.

That doesn't matter.

Because that call was to tell you
I'm hiring him and you owe me.

Bullshit.

You calling me a liar?
I'm not calling you anything,

but you are calling
Sylvia out there a liar.

Oh, no, no. Sylvia
wouldn't tell you shit.

Wrong. One compliment
about her hair

and she told me you gave Louis
the bad news an hour ago.

See you around, Robert.

Harvey, uh, one more thing.

You do still owe me that favor.

What kind of math are you doing?

The kind of math that says Jessica
Pearson hiring Louis Litt back

adds up to shady.
If that's all you've got,

you can collect your favor when
the clock strikes kiss my ass,

because partners leave firms
and come back all the time.

Maybe, but they don't come back
with their name on the wall.

Oh. I'm guessing he wasn't
supposed to tell me that.

But he did. And Louis Litt is
not name partner material,

which means he must
have something on you.

So, unless you want
me going around town

flapping my big mouth that something
isn't right in your kitchen,

you're going to make
good on that favor.

Sylvia didn't slip up
at all, did she?

No, she didn't. You have your
girl Friday, I have mine.

But you can still tell her how nice
her hair looks on the way out.

I'll be in touch.

Oh, you tapping out already?

I thought you'd have a lot
more backbone than that.

I'm not tapping out.

I finished all of the work. Which I
expected to be done an hour ago.

Come on, Louis, you didn't
expect it to be done at all.

Just like you didn't
expect this.

What the hell's that?

It's a gift certificate.

What, are you trying
to bribe me now?

It's not a bribe,
it's a reminder.

Look, the gift certificate
is for Peter's Steak House.

The place that you and I saved.
Together.

And after we saved it, you told me
that we had something in common.

Yeah, I don't give a shit.
Yes, you do.

Because what we had in common
was a love of the law.

You told me that when you asked
me to be your associate, Louis,

and I am still the same person.

And if I found out a woman that I had
something in common with was actually a man,

I wouldn't keep seeing her.

Okay. What I did is not
at all the same thing.

No, it's worse.

You say you love
the law so much,

but every single case you've
ever touched is tainted.

So, you get exposed,
Peter's gets bulldozed.

It wouldn't even be there to get bulldozed
if you and I hadn't worked together.

All right, genius. You want to work
together? You love the law so much?

You're going to memorize every
case that I've ever done.

Louis.
No, get to work

and use that magnificent
memory of yours

for something more than
bullshitting your way through life.

We have a problem.

Unless it's urgent,
I don't have the time.

Louis is telling people.

What people? For
starters, Robert Zane.

Why the hell is Louis even
talking to Robert Zane?

I asked him to hire Louis
after we took back VersaLife.

And you didn't think to tell
me that after last night?

I was handling it. From what I can
tell, you handled it like shit.

So, this is my fault? Well,
it sure as hell isn't mine.

You know what, Jessica? I'm not
the one who wanted to fire Louis,

and I'm not the one who
wanted to deny him clients.

I did that because of his
performance as an attorney.

You antagonized him for years
for your own pleasure.

Tell yourself whatever you want. You
handed out your share of abuse.

Tell yourself whatever you want.

You're the one who hired a
fraud and gave Louis leverage.

And I told you Louis would get worse
and you said I had to take it.

Well, I don't care
whose fault it is.

He is getting worse and
I'm not going to take it.

Oh, yes, you are.

You're going to take it and you're going
to do it with a smile on your face

until I say otherwise.

And what the hell
are you going to do?

I'm going to clean up
this mess, once and for all.

What do you mean you don't have
diamond encrusted business cards?

Fine. What about
the embossed ivory?

Okay, great. Well, how much
would 10,000 of those run me?

Money is no object.

What, are you crazy? I'm not paying that
much. Unless it comes with a reach around.

Which, by the way, I'm still
not paying that much.

Elite Printing, my ass.

I gave you one
simple instruction

to keep your mouth shut,
and you couldn't even do that.

Um, okay. Did you make
an appointment with Norma?

What? To see me. Did you check
with my secretary, Norma?

Cut the shit, Louis.
I'm not in the mood.

Well, get in the mood.
Because I hold all the cards.

And those cards are getting
you your name on the wall,

but you need to keep
this to yourself.

Why? So you can figure
out a way to screw me?

I gave you my word.

Well, no disrespect, Jessica,
but your word means shit.

So, if you want me
to stop telling people,

you better start telling
people yourself.

I told you, in good time.

And I just told you
I don't give a shit.

So, I suggest you call a meeting
with the senior partners.

Those meetings are on Thursdays.

Well, consider today Thursday.

I told you, I have yet to
figure out how to sell it.

You want to sell it? I'll
tell you how to sell it.

You and Harvey do it together,

you do it like you mean it,
and you do it now.

Got it? Good.

I'm sure you've all heard
rumors about why we called this meeting.

But that's because it's hard
to keep good news quiet.

We'll be making this
official later this week,

but we are here to announce
our newest name partner,

Louis Litt.

Thank you, Jessica.

Harvey.

Some of you may be wondering
how this happened.

There's a simple explanation,

and all it requires is for
me to admit something.

I made a mistake.

I never should have
accepted Louis' resignation.

Because not only is he a billing
machine and a damn good attorney,

he has personally gotten me
out of more than one jam.

And there's no one I'd rather have my
name next to than my friend, Louis Litt.

Thank you, Harvey.

Um, even though
it's not official,

I already feel like my name's been up
there as long as yours.

And I, um, definitely feel like it's
going to be up there for a long,

long time.

A lot
of good that did.

Leave it to Louis to take
his big moment like a dick.

Harvey, calm down.
Calm down?

I just did exactly
what he wanted

and he acted like a dick and
he's not going to stop.

He's not going to stop because
you didn't do what he wanted.

What? Jessica, I just got
up there and kissed his ass

in front of the entire partnership
and pretended to like it.

Exactly. Pretended.

Oh. You want me to
actually like it?

I want you to make him feel accepted.
Jessica...

Harvey, what Louis wants
is to be accepted.

And like it or not, the person he
wants that from the most is you.

So, you are going to go
to him, you're gonna make nice

and that is how we're going
to put all of this to bed.

You want to tell me
what the hell that was?

Okay. If you'll excuse me, I'm going to
let Jessica handle this conversation.

I have to go kill myself.

Jeff, I can't do this right now.
Should I make an appointment?

Because the partners may have bought that
fairy tale about Louis' triumphant return,

but they don't know what I know.
What exactly is that?

That Louis committed a crime,

and then he resigned five seconds before
you were about to fire him. And now,

he's not only back,
he's name partner.

I reconsidered.

Which, as managing partner,
I am entitled to do.

And as someone with a brain,

I'm entitled to come to the conclusion
that Louis has something on you.

Jeff, you said you didn't
want me to lie to you anymore.

And I'm trying like hell not to.

And that's the same thing as lying to me.
No, it's not.

Oh, you are one hell
of a lawyer.

So are you.
Which is why you're here.

So, I'll come clean.

I can't tell you
the truth about this,

and that's as honest as I
can be with you right now.

Can you handle that?

I can handle it for now.

But I won't handle it forever.

Louis, what are you doing here?

I noticed you haven't
congratulated me yet.

So, I wanted to give you
a chance to make up for it.

Right. Congratulations, we're all so
happy for you. Is that what you wanted?

Seemed a little disingenuous.

Then, let me be clear.

I don't mean a word of it.

You really want to talk that
way to the new name partner?

I'm talking to you that way

because you threatened to throw
the man that I love in jail

to become that name partner.

So, you know what, Louis? I'm sorry
that I didn't bake you a cake.

That's too bad. You didn't
do anything for me,

but I got something
for you. Doc review.

Filings to be done
in triplicate.

Paralegal work,

since you like doing it so much.

You know I don't like
doing it at all.

You helped your boyfriend
with his work.

You didn't think
I'd figure that out?

You know what?
I don't care.

You have no authority over me.

I'm Harvey's associate.

Yeah, but I run the associates.

Therefore, I run you.

I know what you're doing.

But do you know
what you're doing?

Not only do you live with a
fraud, you're just like him.

Pretending to be a
lawyer when you're not.

I'm not pretending to be anything.
I am in law school.

Are you really going
to make it through?

You could barely
handle the LSATs.

You couldn't get into Harvard.

As a matter of fact, your
boyfriend may be a fraud,

but he's a better lawyer
than you'll ever be.

You have no idea what kind
of lawyer I'm going to be.

Don't I?

You learn from the best
liars around, Rachel.

Harvey.

Mike.

Your father.

Yeah. I know exactly the kind
of lawyer you're going to be.

But until that day,

this kind of work is
all you're good for.

So, you like
marinated meat, right?

Oh, yum.

Okay, wait. But which
one do you make?

Kansas City or Memphis style?

Oh, hell.
When it comes to ribs,

I make them every
which way I can.

I am now officially starving.

Harvey.
Please, have a seat.

Don't let my law firm get in
the way of your coffee klatch.

Oh, now, now,
don't blame Donna here.

I told her you and I had
some unfinished business.

Already. What, did you pick something
out of your generic favor file?

I've never done anything
generic in my life.

This favor is
tailor-made for you.

It's very specific
and very personal.

We're in a little dispute
with another firm.

I need you to get them
to back off of it.

Why can't you do it yourself?

Because I don't know the lawyer
on the other side. You do.

Good luck.

What the hell is he talking about?
It's Scottie.

Oh, shit.
I know.

Scottie doesn't do
favors like this

and I don't have
any leverage on her.

Yeah, you do.

You're just not going
to like using it.

Hey, there you are. Look, I just
finished memorizing all of Louis' cases.

I had an idea
I want to run by...

Rachel, what happened?

Nothing happened.

What did Louis do?

It's nothing. Um, he found
out that I helped you

and now he's giving me
paralegal work and I was

a little upset,
but now I'm okay.

You weren't just a little upset.
You were crying.

And a little paralegal work wouldn't
do that. It is not important.

And you know what?
I had it coming.

You had it coming? What are
you talking... Rachel...

Mike, I was the one that told you to
make up with him. What did he do?

I helped you with the work. And you...
What did he do?

And you know what, like I lied to him
just as much as you. What did he do?

It's not what he did,
it's what he said.

What did he say? Mike, I'm a big girl.
And I can take care of Louis.

This isn't about you.
This is about me and him.

And I'm going to make
him remember that.

You piece of shit. You said
this was between me and you.

It is between me and you. No, it
stopped being between me and you

the second you went to Rachel.

You put her between us the second
you went to her to help you.

God, are you insane? Rachel has never
been anything but kind to you.

I can't even count the amount
of times that she defended you.

And now she tries to help
me just a little bit,

and you rip her to pieces.

No. That's not the help
I'm talking about, fraud.

Then what the hell
are you talking about?

You went to her to help you
lie to me about who you are.

And like the good little
lackey that she is,

she came to me
and lied to my face.

She did it to protect me, Louis.

Well, good for you. But
when I found out about it,

I felt like shit
for the 180th time.

So, I just went to her and
did the same thing.

You know, Louis, I've just been
memorizing all of your old arguments.

I was actually going to
try and come in here

and use one of them to change your
mind about me. Well, it won't work.

Oh, I know.

Because while I am the same
person that I was before,

you're not.

You're right.

I'm not the same person.

I used to be a man of my word, but you people
taught me that doesn't mean a thing. So...

When I told you it was
between me and you, I lied.

I found your weak spot.

And you know what
I'm going to do?

I'm going to keep hammering
on her until you break.

Jessica.

Please, if it can wait, I've had a
long day and I need to go home.

Too bad. You're staying here and drafting
Louis Litt's new partnership agreement.

So, you're piling on, too, now.

I'm not piling on.

I am giving you this because
it's non-billable work.

And the only reason
it exists is because of you.

This again. Ha.

Excuse me?
You heard me.

I've seen this movie before.

And the reason
it keeps rerunning

is because every time
I think I'm done with you,

you and your dirty little
secret rear your ugly heads.

You know what, Jessica?

I have had it up to here with you saying
that this is my dirty little secret.

You could have fired me when
you found out, and you didn't.

No, you decided
to keep me around

because you were more concerned
with beating Daniel Hardman

and keeping your power.

And then, you kept me around because
you didn't want to lose Harvey.

And then, you wanted to use
my secret to beat Harvey

and then again
and again and again.

So, please, Jessica,
why don't you tell me

when the hell does this become
your dirty little secret?

This seat taken?

Hi.

Hey.

Since your message
was so cryptic,

I'm assuming this
is about business?

I need a favor.

Hey, Scottie.

How are you? How have you
been since you left?

I heard that you took some time off.
Where did you land?

I need you to settle your
case against Robert Zane.

And why would I do that?
Because I owe him one.

Harvey, I'm just getting back
on my feet at a new firm.

This case is winnable.

The firm knows that it is
because I told them it is.

I settle, I look like shit.

I know that. But you came to me once to
take it easy on you with Folsom Foods.

Because you said if I was
ever in trouble personally...

I am in trouble personally.

What the hell is personal
about Robert Zane?

You don't do this for me,

Zane's going to put it
together about Mike Ross.

You selfish son of a bitch.
You said you told me that

because you didn't want to keep
lying to the people you love.

I didn't want to...
And now you come to me

trading on the fact that I know
how to get you out of a jam

for doing something
stupid and selfish

that drove a wedge between us
before we ever even had a chance.

I told you the truth.
After it was too late.

Scottie...
I loved you!

I loved you.

And you let some stupid secret
that I would never tell anyone

come between us because
you couldn't trust me with it.

You're right, Scottie. I don't
have a leg to stand on.

But if you don't do this
for me, I am in trouble.

I'm going to recommend
we settle with Robert Zane.

Thank you.
But to be clear,

you get to ask me this once.

And I never want to hear
the name Mike Ross again.

Scottie...
Once.

You wanted it to be official.

There it is, Louis.
It's official.

So, that's it.

People are just going to walk in here
tomorrow morning like it's any other day

and see it or maybe not see it?

What were you expecting? A ceremony
and a brass band? We don't do that.

Well, I'm name partner,
and I say we do now.

Excuse me?
You heard me.

I want pomp and circumstance
in the form of an unveiling.

I'm going home, Louis.

I'm not spending the rest of the night
emailing invitations to an unveiling.

You're going home. Well, then,
I'll send them out myself.

Because tomorrow,

this is happening.
4:00 p.m. Sharp.

I have a meeting at 4:00.
Then reschedule it.

You don't want me to reschedule.

What you want is to know
that you've earned that.

I have earned it.

But I want you to know it.

Okay, here it is. You
got your name up there

by finding leverage and
using it to strong-arm me

into doing something
that I never would have done.

See? I knew...
Let me finish.

It was a stone cold move.

And it's exactly what
Harvey would have done.

Now, if that doesn't tell you that you've
earned it, then I don't know what will.

You still want me to reschedule
my meeting? Yes, I do.

Fine. I'll be there.

You and Harvey.

Of course, Louis.

We're your partners.

Jesus, you look like shit.
What's going on?

Between drafting Louis'
partnership agreement for Jessica

and Louis' never-ending onslaught,
I didn't get any sleep.

Well, splash some
water on your face,

'cause we have to go
to his debutante ball

and look like we give a shit.
No. I'm not going.

What do you mean, you're not going?
Now is not the time to poke the bear.

It's too late. The bear is an asshole and
he's not just taking it out on me anymore.

He's taking it out on Rachel.
What?

Yeah, he made it clear that he found the
weak spot that's going to get to me.

And he's going to keep pressing it and
pressing it until I can't take it anymore.

Mike, you are not
ringing that bell.

You're damn right
I'm not ringing that bell.

But if I have to go raise a
glass to that son of a bitch,

I'm going to end up
smashing it over his head.

Come with me.

What are you going to do?
Enough is enough.

Harvey.
You're just in time.

Jessica's on her way down with
the partnership agreement.

Are you here to be my witness?

He's here to keep me
from ripping your face off.

Oh, I see. Now that big brother's
here, you're just going to...

Okay,
that's enough.

Louis, you got everything you wanted
and you are done taking it out on him.

Because no matter what you do,
I'm not letting him quit.

Then, I'll just fire him.

You can't.
I can and I will.

Because Jessica would rather he
be fired than you all go to jail.

No one's going to jail.
See? She knows what's what.

I sign the agreement, he's done,

and then I hire Katrina
back as my associate.

And that's not going to happen.
What are you talking about?

Louis, I'm afraid you've made your
last dictate to me as name partner.

I'm not going to let you
take this away from me.

I'm not taking anything
away from you.

You are still name partner,
right after you sign this.

I added a little something extra
after you finished drafting it.

This says I'm co-conspirator
to hiring a fraud.

You are.

You became one the second you used
him to get your name on the door.

I know I'm not a real lawyer, but
that sounds like he is to me.

I am a real lawyer.
He is.

Louis, here's the thing.

I told you not to tell
anybody about this.

And then you went and you
shouted it to Robert Zane.

And then, you made me
tell the partners.

And the capper is
there are about 100 people

waiting to greet you after
the unveiling you arranged,

which won't happen
if you don't sign that.

I can still go to the police.

Yeah, you could, but you won't.

Because you used that little secret
to get where you are right now.

It was the only bullet
in your chamber,

and I am taking your gun away.

You set me up.
You set yourself up.

Just like you did
with Charles Forstman.

And what I learned from him, was once
you get something that you want,

you will do whatever
it takes to keep it.

So, why don't you
go ahead and sign

so that we can get out
to your goddamn party?

You know
what's funny?

We've never had a ceremony when
we've changed names before.

But Louis Litt had the audacity
to convene us all here today.

And as it turns out,

his first decision as name
partner is brilliant.

Because a ceremony like this

gives us the chance to reevaluate where
we've been and where we're going.

Perhaps you had a
disagreement with a colleague

or there's some other issue
that's been on your mind.

The point is, with a new
name comes a new beginning.

For me, I'm hoping we can see this
as a chance to wipe the slate clean.

With that said,

here's to our newest
name partner,

Louis Litt.

Nice speech.

Let's hope it takes.

It's got a better chance of taking now
that you made him sign the agreement.

That it does.

Speaking of which, when exactly did
you know you were going to do that?

Oh, um... About 15 seconds
after Donna told me he knew.

And you didn't feel the need
to bring me in on that plan?

I felt the exact opposite.
What are you talking about?

Harvey, Louis wanted
to see you suffer.

If I had told you, you
would have had to fake it.

And you're a shitty actor.

Excuse me, but I can act.

No, everybody thinks
they can act.

The fact of the matter is,
you're just a pretty face.

Oh? You think I'm pretty?

Pretty stupid.

I can't believe
it's actually up there.

This firm has changed
names more than Prince.

Who?

You're kidding, right?

Purple Rain.

Raspberry Beret.

I'm kidding.

I almost had to re-evaluate
our entire relationship.

Mmm-hmm. After you were going
to go and beat Louis up for me?

I doubt that.

Mike. Thank you.

Hey, it just seemed right.

After all, you stood up
to Louis for me. Mmm-hmm.

And I almost got
pummeled for it.

That took guts.
And that's why I love you.

I love you, too.

I wanted to tell you
that you were right.

I started this whole thing by hiring Mike.
It's my fault.

Thank you.

But I've been onboard
long enough.

And it's time I accepted the
fact that it's my secret, too.

So, where do we go from here?

We fight like hell
to protect it.

No cake.

What are you
doing here, Jessica?

I know you're tired of
waiting for an explanation.

So, I'm here to give you one.

You've given me
explanations before.

I want the truth.

Are you ready for the truth?
Because it's not pretty.

There's only one
way to find out.

It seems like forever ago,

but it wasn't that
long ago at all.

Daniel Hardman embezzled money
from the firm and I covered it up.

Now, make no mistake,

I found out about it,
I confronted him,

and I eventually
made him pay it all back.

But I did cover it up
from the partners,

from the police, from everyone.

I even adjusted our books
to hide the crime.

And being a bloodhound about
these things, Louis found out

and used it as
leverage to come back.

As name partner?

As name partner.

Why couldn't you trust
me with this before?

Because I didn't know
how you'd react.

And I didn't want to risk losing

everything I had.

Jessica,

your secret is safe with me.

You're late.
But I come bearing gifts.

Uh-huh. That doesn't
look like cannoli.

It's better than cannoli, Dad. It's
the resume of your new associate.

If this is Harvey's
way of trying to

make up for the fact
that I didn't hire Louis...

This isn't from Harvey.
It's from me.

And you're going
to do this for me.

And I am not going
to owe you a thing.

This is what they're
teaching you at Columbia?

Because that's not how favors work.
I know how favors work.

You do this and then you want
something from me someday.

But by then, you're going to
understand that right now,

I'm the one doing you a favor.

Because Katrina Bennett
is an amazing lawyer.

I was wrong about you.
You're not like your mother.

You're like your father.

Come on.

Oh, that's good. That was a good one.

That was a good one. Sounds
just like me, baby girl.

I had you fooled, huh?

You did.
I can't stand...

Now, let me show you
how a lawyer cooks.

What do you want?

I just thought you'd want this.

The associates saved it for you.

No, they didn't.
You saved it for me.

Because you want to pretend
to be my friend again.

Louis, didn't you hear
Jessica's speech?

This is our chance
to wipe the slate clean.

I did hear her speech.

And I know that she sent
you here to say that to me.

No one sent me here. I'm here
because I want to be here.

You see? That's sweet.

But how can I ever
believe a word you say?

I want to know if
you ever thought once

to tell me the truth about Mike.

No, I didn't.

Of course you didn't.
Because we're not friends.

You're wrong. We are friends, but my
professional loyalty to Harvey comes above that.

Which is why I
never told anyone.

Jessica, Rachel, anyone.

So, put yourself in my
position and ask yourself,

"What would you have done?"

I want you to tell me
something else.

Yes. Anything.

Did you ever sleep with Harvey?

Wait. What?

It's not
a professional question.

It's a personal question.

Can you put our so-called
"friendship" high enough

to answer that one honestly?

Louis... Because it's the
only thing I can think of

to know if I can even
begin to trust you again.

Once.

That's my way of wiping
the slate clean.

You can accept it or not.
