Suits (2011–…): Season 4, Episode 4 - Leveraged - full transcript

Walter, I can't
guarantee you we'll win,

but I can guarantee you that
I will never sell you out.

You told me that
Mike Ross wasn't a threat,

and then he handcuffed
us with a TRO.

I want proof that
he's giving up his bid.

And if I don't get it by the morning, I'm
going to call my private investigators

and I'm going to finish
what I started.

What did Harvey tell you?

Looks like he
told me the truth.

We're done.

I want you to stop the
personal attacks on Mike.



You told me this wasn't
going to be a problem.

You don't have to stop this

because you're some changed man.

You have to stop this
because you owe me.

Mr. Ross.
Eric Woodall.

I'm the U.S. Attorney...

For the Southern district of New York.
Yeah, I know who you are.

Since when does the SEC

go around intimidating law firms
by going after their clients?

They don't, but they will when Eric
Woodall starts there next week.

Seven clients, seven subpoenas.
All coming tomorrow.

Back to sin again must be fate

The wait was all day

Uh, excuse me. You don't
have an appointment.



I don't need an appointment.

Sit down, shut up, and listen.

Harvey might forgive you because you
returned those recordings, but I don't.

Donna.
Not done.

What Harvey did with Gillis,
it was harsh,

but using what I told you

in a private conversation?

That crosses a line that
even Harvey never would.

Donna.
Still not done.

When you left our firm,
you left me too.

But I honestly thought that
we'd always be friends.

Now, I'm not so sure.

Amy, did you send
Donna the package?

Guilt gift.
Didn't open it.

It was a Balenciaga
Classic Town bag.

Ivory? Anthracite with
an outside pocket.

His idea or yours?

Don't answer that.
It was yours.

I'm sorry, Donna.

You and Harvey want to knock each
other out, you go right ahead.

But don't ever betray me again.

Nice shoes.

She's even better
than I imagined.

And nothing ever lasts
that hesitates

Looking for this?

Harvey Specter.

What brings you to Montclair
at 7:00 in the morning?

Oh, you know what
brings me here.

I woke up to find these
on my welcome mat.

As much as I'd love to
have been responsible

for subpoenaing seven of
your firm's top clients,

I didn't even know about
this until just now.

You didn't even have the balls
to come at me directly.

Get off my property.

What's the matter, Eric?

You're afraid I'll
get you fired again?

I get it.

You want to hear me say
I'm using my new position

to destroy your business,

because you're the piece of
garbage that got me fired.

Isn't that what you
want to hear me say?

Oh, I know you'll
never say that.

But I do want you
to admit that you sent

an Agent Brian Harris after my firm.
Sorry.

I don't even have jurisdiction
over that department.

That department's run by
a man named Sean Cahill.

So, all on his own,

Sean Cahill just happened
to target my firm.

Well, he is a killer attorney

with a nose for sleazy lawyers.

And I should know. We came up
together at the Justice Department.

You know, that little governmental
agency that protects their own?

Well, Eric, your big brother
couldn't protect you

from getting fired before,

and I don't see how this
is gonna be any different.

By the way,

that's yesterday's paper.

You wanted to see me? Sure did.

Have a seat.

I was going over our trade sheets.
I couldn't help but notice

you bought another 100,000
shares of Gillis Industries.

It's gonna be fine...

Do I look like
an asshole to you?

Where the hell did
you get the money?

You know where I got the money.

I bought the shares on margin.

And leveraged my company. The
bylaws said I can do it.

I don't care what
the bylaws say.

You did this without asking.

Look, I know you're pissed...
Oh, I'm not pissed.

I've been waiting for
you to have the balls

to do something like this
since you got here.

You raised my risk, but you also
raised my reward, and on top of it,

you did it like
an investment banker...

Without permission.

Well, thank you, Jonathan.

Go get 'em.

One more thing.
Yeah.

You have a week to
deleverage my company.

If you don't,
you're out of a job.

You wanna explain
to me why you went

to Eric Woodall's
house this morning?

I understand you're
bent out of shape

because I stepped
on your territory.

You think I give a shit
about my territory?

Then what the hell
are you doing in here?

Listen, I really don't care

if you work this thing or I do.

But whoever it is
has to not be an idiot.

And how exactly am I an idiot?

You poked the bear. Eric
Woodall isn't the bear.

No, I am.

And whatever you were about
to say, don't say it.

Harvey, this is his case.

It's why we brought him in,

and I don't want you involved.
Me?

I'm the one who found out it's not
Woodall coming after us. It's...

Sean Cahill. You think
I didn't know that?

These
are my clients,

and when they call in a panic,

I need to be the voice on
the other end of the line.

Then be the voice on the
other end of the line,

but you're not handling the SEC.

I'm the reason they're
coming after us.

Which is why you wanted to
hire Jeff in the first place.

That was before
all this became real.

Now that it's happening, he doesn't
want to sit on the sidelines.

Damn right, I don't. JESSICA:
Well, then, find yourself

a comfortable spot on the bench.

Because like it or not,
Jeff's in charge.

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

So, did it go just like
you said it would?

Exactly. Except
for the part

where if I don't find
a new investor in a week,

I'm out of a job.

Well, I'm surprised
he gave you a week.

Amy, it's not funny.

I know it isn't.
I was just

trying to make the
best of the situation.

Well, if you want to make
the best of the situation,

get me a meeting with
Tony Gianopolous.

Because if I can't
get in there...

I'm in trouble.

We're in trouble.

You really mean that?

You think I'm staying
here if you leave?

Thank you, Amy.
I'm just kidding.

Epstein's been
trying to poach me

since the day
I got here. Mmm.

Yeah, you think those
flowers bought themselves?

Mmm-mmm.

You...

Wow.

Can I talk to you a second?

If you want an update
on the takeover,

you should talk to Harvey.

That's not why I'm here.

Look, Logan,
I... I know that you...

I have five companies here

that I'm looking at
for my next deal,

and I need someone
to evaluate them

from a legal standpoint.

Your next deal.
Yeah, my next deal.

Harvey told me
not to hurt my future

by going below
the belt with Mike.

So, instead of
not hurting my future,

I thought I'd start
planning for it.

So, then, maybe Harvey

is who you should
be planning it with.

Well, Harvey's got stuff to do.

And he's not the one who
convinced me to back off Mike.

Are you saying
that I owe you? No.

I'm not saying that, but
that is what you said to me.

So, we're just gonna go back
and forth, trading favors?

Rachel, this isn't a favor.

I have a board
meeting on Friday.

I need to be prepared.

So, are you my lawyer or not?

I will get right on it.
Thank you.

Louis, I need your help.

We're gonna need to...
Don't speak.

You may speak.

What were you doing?

Just thanking the
Lord God Almighty.

We taking down Jessica?
We firing Malone?

I am tingling. What, Harvey?
Just tell me what.

Mike Ross just bought another
2% of Gillis Industries.

He must be leveraged up to his
scrawny little neck. Exactly.

And he's gonna be
scrambling for funding.

You want me to get
your TRO removed.

How do you know that? Because
you pissed off Judge Ramos,

and now she can't stand you.

How do you know that?

Oh, because I keep a list of your enemies.
You want to see it?

Just get it done. Oh,
I'm gonna get it done.

It's like taking
candy from a baby.

Louis, we're splitting
Mike's focus.

That doesn't mean
he won't be prepared.

Oh, he can prepare all he wants,

but the student is about
to meet the master.

Because Ralph Macchio doesn't stand
a chance against Mr. Miyagi.

You know The Karate Kid?

That's not cool, Harvey.

Oh, let me see if I can
guess why you're here.

You came to tell me the way I
handled Harvey this morning

was sexy.

Oh, you mean when I told
him to leave you alone.

And the way that I
allowed you to do that

was very sexy.

Uh-huh.

And this is...

The Griffen Cosmetics subpoena.

I looked them all over.
This is the weakest one.

The weakest one.
Exactly.

Once this one goes down,
the others fall like dominos.

First of all, if I were going
to take that strategy,

I would go for the hardest one.

Second of all, why don't
you walk yourself

back to your office
and let me do my job?

Excuse me?

You told Harvey you brought
me in to handle this.

Your job isn't to worry
about what I told Harvey.

Your job is to worry
about what I'm telling you.

Mmm-hmm. And what
I'm telling you

is that I'm not walking into an SEC
negotiation with a babysitter.

Negotiation? This is going to be a war.
I know that.

And I'm gonna
win it with one shot.

Then I suggest
you warm up to this.

You're not walking into the
SEC with a babysitter.

You're walking
in there with a bazooka.

Hey, Mike, you need
to see something.

No, I don't have time.

I'm working on
the Gianopolous proposal.

Yeah, that proposal isn't gonna
matter if they win this.

Goddamn it.

Harvey's trying to
roll back the TRO?

No, it's not Harvey.
Check the docket.

It's some woman named Lois Litt.

Hmm?

Yeah.

I know how to handle her.
Um, here.

This is 90% done.
Check it over.

Make sure there's not
one comma out of place.

Uh, Mike, come on. You
know I can do more than...

I don't have time, Amy.
Just do it.

Okay.

How long did you work
in this shithole?

Sorry, I'm late. Been
up to my neck in work.

Just filed seven huge subpoenas.

Yeah, we know what you filed.
Oh.

I see you brought the missus.

Jessica, whatever
you're about to say,

don't say it.

How about I say it with this?

Ooh, a subpoena?

Smells fresh. It is.

And you'll be answering
it in court tomorrow.

Oh. Well, then, I better see what
flavor bullshit you're serving up.

Ah. Ah, now,
this is a good one.

"Malicious prosecution of
Pearson Specter clients."

- And how exactly are we doing that?
- I'll tell you how.

You come at our clients, our clients
leave us, you drop their cases.

Well, I certainly wouldn't tell them
that's how to avoid SEC scrutiny.

But it's not my fault

if dropping Pearson Specter
starts catching on.

Enough bullshit.

You're targeting my clients

on behalf of Eric
Woodall, and you know it.

That is a lovely theory,
but if you had any proof,

you wouldn't be standing
here right now.

I have proof, Sean.

I have proof you filed seven cases
in one day against our clients,

which we both know
has never happened

in the history of the SEC.

It has now.

We've filed nine cases against
clients of Weil Gotshal,

eight against Skadden
and six against Cravath.

Welcome to the new SEC.
We target law firms.

And as long as we're not
only targeting yours,

the only way to shut this down

is to shut us down.

You and I both know what's
really going on here, Sean.

And I'm gonna prove it.
Well, good luck.

But how do you think
Judge Hopkins

is gonna respond
to your allegations

when I tell him they're
coming from a man

who was about to be fired?

Oh,
you didn't tell her?

That's awkward.

I'll see you in court.

Jessica. I
don't wanna hear it.

Well, you need to hear it.
What?

That you lied to me?

You know, I didn't actually lie to you.
Oh, no, no. No.

You tell me that you didn't lie

because we never directly
asked you the question,

and I will knock your head off.

All right, fine.

I lied.

I lied because
it doesn't matter.

I wanna fight for you and
I'm the best man to do it.

Well, the new part
of the equation

is that you just made
me look like a fool.

Jess. Don't pull that
"Jess" shit with me.

I wanna know what
it says in your file.

I don't know what it says. How
the hell do you not know?

Because whatever
it is, is bullshit.

Because the reason
they were gonna fire me

is that I refused
to go after you.

Then why didn't you tell me that

when you came at us
demanding a job?

Because good lawyers negotiate
from a position of strength,

not weakness.

Well, the position
you just put us in

is pretty goddamn weak.

Ripped By mstoll

Ah, well, if it isn't
the Boy Wonder.

Louis. Hey.
Don't "Louis" me.

You left without even the courtesy
of a "How's your father."

What does that mean?

It means that I'm not here
to exchange pleasantries.

I'm here to get that TRO lifted.

I'm sorry you feel that way.

I'm also sorry to
hear about Sheila.

Bullshit, you're sorry
to hear about Sheila...

What are you talking about?

Come on, you have to have heard.

Heard what?

She's engaged.

It's all over
Harvard's Facebook page.

Oh, my God.
How could she do this?

She said she could never be
attracted to a handsome man.

Yeah, and that picture
doesn't even do him justice,

but this one, however...

A thong?
Yeah.

Uh...
What the...

Yeah, it's a whole, like,
beach thing, I guess.

Long weekend.

You're a son of a bitch, Mike.

You're not even sorry at all.

You're using this to get
into my head. Louis.

Come on.
I can't believe you.

You think I would use
Sheila's engagement

just to get you off your game?
Never gonna work.

That I would
stick it in your face

that she's all up in this
guy's business in a way

that you've never seen before?
Water off a duck's back.

That right now, she's
probably scrapbooking

the first day
of their relationship,

which apparently happened just
weeks after you broke her heart?

Next up on the docket,

Sidwell Investment Group
v. Sanders International.

Looks like that's us.
I'll see you in there.

Louis,
I can't believe it.

I give you one
goddamn job to do,

and you... What are
you doing up there?

Harvey, please.
I can explain.

Explain why you stood in front
of the judge like a moron?

What possible explanation...

Sheila got engaged.

What? When?

This morning.

Louis, I'm sorry.

I was so sure that she
would just come around

about having children, you know?

That's why I've been

turning down all those
JDate requests.

We'll get Mike another way.

Oh, you're goddamn right
we're gonna get him.

I'm going to get that son of a
bitch if it's the last thing I do.

What are you talking about?

He used the Sheila news
to get into my head, Harvey.

Used the news,

or gave you the news?

Oh, please. What
difference does it make?

What difference does it make?

It makes all the difference.

Like, on the one hand,
I feel for you,

and on the other, you're
the world's biggest idiot.

Look at my computer. I've been staring
at it for three hours. It's real.

I don't believe it.

Yeah, that Adonis on that
yacht is Sheila's fianc?.

That Adonis is
a photoshopped picture

of Lorenzo Lamas from 1998!

Who the hell is Lorenzo Lamas?

Well, I can tell you
who he isn't.

He isn't Sheila's fianc?!

Oh, thank God.

Are you even listening?

It was bad enough
that Nigel rattled you

with your unread cat letters.

Now, you're letting
Mike do this?

Harvey, please.
Shut the hell up!

Look, I tried to warn you.

And you stood there with your
stupid leg up in the air

telling me that the student
was no match for the master.

And all it took

was one doctored picture

for you to shit the bed!

I didn't mean to.
Shut the hell up!

God!

Well, fancy meeting you here.

Rachel, get out of here.

I was just coming
to make some copies.

Louis, what's wrong?

I don't wanna talk about it.
Nothing is wrong.

Well, obviously, something's wrong.
Well,

if you're so curious, why don't you
just go ask the man of your dreams?

I'm sure the two of you will
have a big laugh about it later.

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

But seeing you like this, there is
no way that I would laugh at you.

What is it?

Mike convinced me
that Sheila was engaged

to throw me off my game.

I'm so sorry, Louis.

Yeah, well, he sure wasn't.

He stuck a knife in me
and twisted it

with the thought
of her and another man.

It felt like a...

...drill in my
skull all day,

and then to top it
all off, it cost me

the respect of my

best friend.

Maybe... Oh, don't you
even try to defend him.

No, I wasn't going to.
I was going to say,

maybe

this is what you needed to

decide to reconnect with Sheila.

What about Harvey? How
do I, uh, repair that?

I'm really sorry for what
happened, Louis. I am.

Hey.
Hey.

Did you eat?

Are you asking because
you're concerned about me

or because you wanna know
if I left you any food?

Whoa.

Tough day?
I'm sorry.

I've just been
working 16-hour days

and I'm really...

Stressed.

Yeah, I know the feeling.

Really?

Because I heard that you had a

pretty big win today.

You talked to Harvey.
I talked to Louis.

Mike, I know you wanna
win, but do you have

any idea what
your lie did to him?

It wasn't a lie.
It was a strategy.

It was both.

And it ended up
with him near tears.

Come on, Rachel.

It just seems like all
that matters to you

is winning and you don't

care about what it
does to your friends.

You know what?

I'm sorry that I hurt Louis.

But he was going
to that courtroom

so they could put their
tender offer to a vote.

I know.

And you also know, because we've
had this discussion before,

that if he got his way,

they would rip that
company to shreds.

So, instead of coming down on
me for what I did to Louis,

why don't you start worrying
about all the lives

that Logan Sanders is gonna
destroy if that happens?

You know, it's funny.

You told me you didn't
care who's in charge.

You just wanted whoever it
was to not be an idiot.

Are you saying that
I was an idiot?

I'm saying we both were.

I shouldn't have
gone to Woodall,

and you shouldn't
have lied to us.

You don't seem pissed.

I've had enough
happen already today.

Besides, lying to me was wrong,

but lying to the woman you're
in a relationship with

is a whole other level.

When do you think
she's gonna get past it?

From personal experience,
that could take a while.

That's not my problem.
That's yours.

Then what are you
doing here, Harvey?

I'm here to tell you what
you're gonna do about it.

No.

No way.

I'm not taking the stand.

Then what are you doing here?

Because Woodall telling you
to go after our clients

is how you got this job
in the first place

and happens to make our case.

He didn't outright tell me
to do it and you know it.

You had to find out somehow.

I found out from Brian Harris.

He told me he had
this funny feeling

that the day after Woodall
arrived that I was gonna

start issuing subpoenas
to Pearson Specter clients.

When I asked him why, he said,

"You know why."

Then you're going to get up on
the stand and tell them that.

I can't.
I have no proof.

It was vague, and it's a
third party conversation.

Which makes it hearsay,
and I don't give a shit.

Well, I do, because it opens
me up to slander at best

and perjury charges at worst.
Well, Jeff,

you used that story
to get your ass in here.

Now use it to get the job done.

Amy!

I thought I asked you to leave the
Gianopolous proposal on my desk.

And I did.
Twenty minutes ago.

What? Okay.

Did you proof it?
No.

I thought you'd
have a better chance

if the document
was riddled with typos.

This is important.
I know it is.

Which is why I read it
backwards and forwards.

Okay. Did you add the part about
the leveraged recap, like I asked?

I did.

But your figures on the
non-voting stock didn't add up,

so I proposed a staggered board

to make up for the imbalance.

Staggered board?

Yeah, don't act so surprised.

I'm sorry, I just
thought that you...

You just thought that
I didn't know anything

about what goes on here?

Listen up,
T. Boone Pickens.

I actually know a lot
about this business.

Okay, I said I'm sorry. And
I know more than enough

to know that that looks
like every other proposal

that's come across my desk.

Well, that gives me a shitload of
confidence going into this meeting.

I'm not trying to destroy
your confidence.

That's the one thing
you have going for you.

Then, what are you trying to do?
Mike,

you're not here because you
crunched Sidwell some numbers.

You're here because you
solved a problem for him.

All right.
Get rid of this.

And bring you
everything I can find

on Tony Gianopolous.
On it.

Amy.

Why aren't you...
Why am I an assistant

and not an investment banker?

I'm getting my PhD
in Psychology.

Money bores me.

I don't know why you needed to talk
to me in chambers, Mr. Malone.

I was clear on my ruling.

Well, with all due
respect, Your Honor,

your ruling didn't
cover the fact

that the SEC has a vendetta
against Pearson Specter.

That's a serious accusation.
And if it were the truth,

he would have said it
out there, not in here.

I'm doing it in private, Sean,

because I don't want to
slander an entire department

- based on the actions of two men.
- Translation.

He doesn't want to
be charged with perjury,

because he's lying,
and this is a joke.

It wasn't a joke when I was asked
to do the exact same thing

that he's doing right now.

What the hell are
you talking about?

Before I left the SEC,

I was told to target
Pearson Specter clients.

And who exactly told you?
Brian Harris.

Then, go after him, 'cause all
you've got on me is hearsay.

And might I point out,
this is the accusation

of a man who was
about to be fired,

which I'd say should be taken
with a cubic meter of salt.

Well, that cubic meter of salt

might actually get a little
bit smaller if Sean here

would, say, open up his files
and show us his paper trail.

Our work product
is covered under

federal regulation
and he knows that.

I also know you're hiding
behind your office

and using his court to do it.

All right, all right.
That's enough.

Mr. Malone, I don't appreciate you
using my chambers to testify.

And he may not have proof.

But if one client
leaves his firm

and their charges
miraculously disappear,

you're looking at
more than sanctions.

You're looking at jail time.

Thank you.

Rachel.

It's only been a day. You already
have a suggestion for my new deal?

I do.

Good. Then which of those five
companies should I go after?

None of them.

So, you've brought me nothing.

No, I brought you
five better options.

What was wrong with the options?
Just take a look.

These companies have
no disposable assets.

No, they don't. They have
under-performing assets

that can be turned around
and built into something.

Did you even look into the
companies I gave you?

Yes, I did. But I...
But what?

Sounds like someone's been
drinking her boyfriend's Kool-Aid.

Well, maybe if more people
did, there just might be...

Oh, goddamn it, Rachel. I'm not
in business to save the world.

I asked for
a professional opinion.

And I gave you a professional opinion.
You just don't like it.

No, I don't.

And now we're gonna have
to work all day tomorrow

to do what I asked you to
do in the first place.

You mean spend all day together.

If that's what it takes.
Mmm-hmm.

Did you call this board meeting

just so we could spend
more time together?

Did you bring me deals you knew
I'd reject just to avoid it?

Look,

like I said, I have
a meeting on Friday

and I need to be
prepared for it.

So maybe you should go back to
your office, get cracking and...

Just give me a call when
you have something.

Okay.

You're kidding me.

So this is all mine?

Yep.

In 20 days, the public
access will be gone,

and you will have yourself a
quarter mile of private beach.

What about the Southampton
City Council?

What about them?

They're a bunch of public
access-loving assholes.

Like I said...

What about them?

How did you do this, Mike?

The question isn't "how" I
did it, it's "why" I did it.

Oh. You want
something from me.

Just your consideration.

Well, you've earned it.
Go ahead.

Not interested.

You didn't even look at it.

Oh, I don't have to.

You just said that I
earned your consideration.

Mmm-hmm,
and you just got it.

Look, Gillis Industries
is ripe for a turnaround.

And I already own 7%.

Well, congratulations.

Now, go beg
someone else for money,

'cause you're not getting mine.

I don't understand.
You don't have to.

Now get the hell
out of my office.

Mr. Gianopolous...
I said get the hell out.

Hey, Mike. How's it going?
Fancy meeting you here.

It was you.

What was me?

I'm just here to thank you for
the advice you once gave me.

You know, back when
we were friends.

Louis...
No, no, no.

No, no, no. You once told me that
my actions have consequences.

Remember? Your actions yesterday
have consequences, too.

What did you say to Gianopolous?
Not much.

Just that you were
the person responsible

for his number two leaving him.

I was responsible?
He agreed to it.

Well, what he
didn't know was that

it was his own lawyer
who came up with the idea.

Now, he does.
And what does that...

Have to do with it?

He may have agreed to it,

but it was a betrayal by you.

And here's a little something
you obviously do not know

about investment banking.

The only thing more satisfying
to these guys than money,

is sticking it to someone
who stuck it to them.

Louis.

I'm sorry for hurting
you with Sheila.

Don't you ever mention
her name to me again.

Okay.

But it was a move...

Like you just did.
So...

Can we move on?
Move on?

You used the woman I love
to extend your goddamn TRO.

You knew how I felt about
her and you did it anyway.

I will never, ever forget
it until the day I die.

Good luck beating Harvey
without money.

I have good news.

James Dolan died
and left me the Knicks?

Louis stopped Mike
from getting Gianopolous.

He blocked his funding. Good.

You went to Louis with a
problem, he fixed it,

and all you're gonna
say is "good"?

Donna, I'm glad
he fixed the problem,

but it was a problem he created.

He created it because when it
comes to people he cares about,

Louis has a blind spot.

Yeah, for people and cats
and who knows what else.

I'll tell you what else.

He cares about you.

What do you want from me, Donna?

I want you to tell him
he did a good job.

I'll tell him when
we come out on top.

Okay, Harvey.

You do what you're gonna do.

But just remember, when Louis
asked Sheila to marry him,

you were the one he picked
to be his best man.

And you said, "yes."

I'm sorry, but we're
not hiring today.

I'd think you'd be
looking for a job,

given the beat down
you took in chambers.

I'm not sure what Jeff disgruntled
employee here told you,

but I'm still standing.

Well, what I told her
is that you lost.

Then why are you here?

We're here to make you an offer.

You drop all seven cases,

we drop the malicious
prosecution claim.

No deal.

Judge Hopkins is going to be
waiting for you to take action.

Now, too much time goes by,

he's gonna think
you're full of shit.

But if you fold right now, he's only
gonna sanction you for the exact claim

that we're willing to drop.

Which is why
we'll tell the judge

that in exchange for those
cases being dropped,

we'll give the SEC unprecedented
access to our clients' books.

Which, of course,
you won't be doing.

No, we won't. So, what exactly
am I getting out of this?

You get to save face.
I do like my face.

However, I also like my ass,

which will be on the line
if I take this deal.

Then you have 24 hours to
decide which one you like more.

Mr. Forstman,
Mike Ross.

No.

Sir, I think that if
you hear me out...

How the hell did you
find me here?

The article in Forbes said you
can't go more than three hours

without one of
Rosa's Cafe Cubanos.

That article in Forbes
was six years ago.

It also said you never change.

Did you also read where I
have every Bud Fox wannabe

dumped in a local landfill?

If you do that, you'll
miss the opportunity

to get back at Harvey Specter.

And what does a little shit like
you know about Harvey Specter?

I know that he bought that '63
Aston Martin out from under you,

and you've hated him ever since.

You know he keeps it
in a garage?

Doesn't even drive it.

What do you want?

Gillis Industries.
Gillis Industries

is a black hole
of distressed debt.

I want nothing to do with it.
No, it isn't.

It's a '63 Aston Martin.

Who do you work for?

Who says I work for anyone?

Because a young kid like you with
enough clout to go after Gillis?

I'd know you.

I work for Jonathan Sidwell.

Okay.

You've got my 230 mil.

I only need 80.

You don't know what you need.

What happens to
the company is my call.

Done.

Oh, one more thing, when
you get those papers.

I have a feeling there
will be a provision

buried in there that says
that once the deal closes,

you cut Sidwell out.

I'm... I'm sorry. What?
I don't know him.

And I don't want him sucking
a chunk out of a deal

that can't happen without me.

Well?

He went for it.

That is great.

It's not all great.

He'll only give me the money
if I agree to cut out Sidwell.

What? What...

What does "cut him
out" even mean?

It means make sure Sidwell doesn't
get a penny from this deal.

Mike.

The second he finds
that out, you're gone.

He's not gonna find out
until the deal closes.

And if I don't find the money,

I'm out of a job anyway.

Oh. I...

I get it.
At least, this way,

you get to leave
on the winning side.

We leave on the winning side.

Who says I'm gonna do that?

What happened to "You think
I'm staying if you leave?"

Yeah, that was before I knew you
were gonna screw over Sidwell.

Amy, I... No. He may
be a dick sometimes,

but he's the reason you're here.

You think I want this?

I have to make a choice between

the promise I made
to Walter Gillis

and what I owe Jonathan.

Mike, Walter Gillis doesn't give a
shit about that promise anymore.

Yeah, but I do.

And so do all the people
that work for him.

So you're gonna do it.

I don't know.

But I do know that I keep
having to do shitty things

just to win this thing,

but I'm gonna go make up
for one of them right now.

I'm sorry I didn't do
what you asked me to do.

I should have
evaluated your ideas.

You should have.

But I should have remembered

that you don't always do
what people expect of you.

You mean what
people tell me to do.

I chose the nicer version.

Well, I, um...

I've finished what I should
have done in the first place.

And? And let's go through them.

Oh,
what are you doing here?

Waiting for you. I figured if I tried
to go upstairs, you'd have me killed.

Oh, is that a joke?
Because I'm not laughing.

Louis, I didn't say it right the
first time. I want to say it again.

I'm sorry.

You think "I'm sorry" makes
up for what you did?

No, but...

I'm hoping that we can move
past it and be friends again.

Well, the only problem with that
is, is that you and I both know

that you're only here because
I took away your sugar daddy,

and now you want me to
take it easy on you.

Louis, if you don't wanna
accept my apology, that's fine.

But I'm not here from a
position of weakness.

I'm here from
a position of strength.

Bullshit. Where did
you get money?

You don't have any
friends out there.

No, but Harvey has enemies.

What's that supposed to mean?

You told me these
guys hold grudges.

I just found a guy
with one against Harvey.

You son of a bitch. You didn't
come here to apologize.

You came to rub it in my face.

Oh, and I bet you just
can't wait to tell Harvey

that I'm the one
who gave you the idea.

Louis, I wasn't even gonna tell
you how I got the idea at all.

I'm still not gonna tell Harvey.

Because you want me to owe you?

Because I'm not as much of an
asshole as you think I am.

What about a buyout?

Never going to happen.
He's got a golden parachute.

Well, then I've got two people on
the board. I can force a vote.

You do that, it
triggers a stock split,

his shares double in
voting power, yours don't.

I mean, that's all five.
None of them work.

No, they don't.

So, when you told me you should
have evaluated my ideas first,

you weren't saying
that they were good.

I was saying I
wasn't doing my job.

Which was to let me
figure out for myself

that my ideas weren't good.

I chose the nicer version.

Logan, there are plenty of
other companies out there.

None that
we're gonna find in time

for my board meeting tomorrow.

So, push it.
I can't. I didn't call it.

And I thought...
Yeah, I know.

That I only even arranged
it to spend time with you?

You really didn't.
No.

And now they're gonna ask me
tomorrow how Gillis is going,

and I'm gonna have to
tell them we might lose.

And then they're gonna
ask me what else I have,

and I'm gonna have
to tell them, "Nothing."

Well, maybe you won't.

I told you I'm not
in that business.

Then convince the board
that you should be.

Okay.

Go back to your office, get your files.
Like you said...

I don't always do what
people expect me to do.

Louis, can I talk
to you for a minute?

Of course.

I heard about what
you did with Gianopolous.

Good job.

I appreciate that, Harvey.
I do.

Um, but it doesn't matter.

You know, he went...

Somewhere else.

I know.

He went to Forstman.

I just wanted to tell you
you did a good job anyway.

You see, that's the, uh, thing.

I didn't.

What are you talking about?

Mike got the idea from me.

What?

How?

When I cut him off with
Gianopolous, I stuck it in his face

and I told him that people
hold grudges and I...

He must have known your
history with Forstman,

and that's why
he went to him, so...

I'm sorry.

Goddamn it, Louis.

I don't wanna keep
being mad at you,

but you keep doing
the same shit.

But you see, this
wasn't me being duped.

No. It was you
letting your emotions

lead you into doing
something stupid...

Again.

You just had to
stick it in his face.

You know what?

I'm done.

It's not fair, you know.

I'm emotional.

You're cold.

You're loved.

And I'm hated.

Louis...

If I was so cold,

I wouldn't have come
here in the first place.

What are you doing?

Pouring us a drink.

Cahill took the deal.

All seven cases
are officially dead.

Jessica, I'm sorry that I didn't
come clean with you before.

Me, too.

Lying to you was a...

...business decision,
and it was wrong.

But I want you to know that I would
never lie to you man to woman.

I appreciate that.

We have a problem.

I just got off the phone
with Richard Coleman.

Last week, Sean Cahill asked him

if I'd ever crossed
any lines in his presence.

Son of a bitch.

He doesn't want
our clients to leave us.

He wants them to
cough up dirt on me.

At least none of them did or
we'd be in trouble right now.

How do you wanna handle it?

Let's talk about it tomorrow.

Right now, I've got
something else to do.

Shit.

They wouldn't turn on Harvey.

Cahill wanted us to
drop those cases anyway,

and I just did him a big favor.

You couldn't have known that.

It was my job to know that.

Hey, Mike?
Yeah.

Harvey Specter's here to...

Harvey, what can I do for you?

I wanted to thank you
for the recordings.

Is that why you came

all the way down here?

I came to tell you I think
you're making a big mistake

getting into bed with Forstman.

I knew it.

Mike, you don't know this guy.

You could have thanked me for
those recordings days ago,

but instead, you picked the exact
day that I find a new investor

to show up with your thank you
and your friendly advice.

This isn't some move.
You only make moves.

Mike... Okay, tell me right now

that you wouldn't do the same
thing if you were in my position.

I was.

And I did.

What? You think our
grudge is about some car?

What the hell
are you talking about?

When I was younger, I made
a shady deal with him

and I paid for it.

Who says that I'm making...
If you haven't, you will,

because Forstman doesn't
throw money around

without getting
something in return.

He's gonna get money in return.

Money is third on his list.

The first two are
getting back at people

and getting control of people.

Maybe you should
have thought of that

before you had Louis cut
me off from Gianopolous,

because now, I have
no other choice.

You always have a choice.

Here's to turning around
Piedmont Avionics.

What?
Nothing.

What time is it?

Too late for you
to change your mind.

Logan, the board
is going to be wowed.

Well, I wish I had
your confidence.

You are not short in the
confidence department.

Oh, you don't have to
pay me compliments.

I meant it as an insult.

You know, if this law
thing doesn't work out...

Then, I could have a
career in venture capital?

No, I was gonna say you
could be my assistant.

Hilarious.

Seriously, Rachel, I...

I couldn't
have done it without you.

Yes, you could have.

It just wouldn't have
been as good.

Humility.

Another thing I love about you.

Logan, I should go.

Rachel, I... Um...

Good luck tomorrow.

Your eyes,
they did flutter again

When you told me
every little thing's

Going to be all right

But we were younger then

And now we're not

And if there was a plan made

Then we forgot about it

And if there was time

Well, I could figure it out now

But life is short

And I don't care for most of it

And I don't care for most of it

Because you're all that
All that I want

Because you're all that
All that I want

Because you're all that
All that I want

Well, I know I'm hard to take

And my bones are
calling out your name

While I beat your cold windows

Break the locks on the gate

While I try to forget

I used to be something great

Because you're all that
All that I want

Because you're all that
All that I want

Because you're all that
All that I want
