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

(HARVEY SPEAKING)

You're the most amazing
woman I have ever met.

Are you doing
what I think you're doing?

Rachel Elizabeth Zane.

Will you marry me?

Yes.

You want my permission to take Mike
and force him to be your associate.

Speak now or forever
hold your peace.

I got us something.

It's the perfect way to
consummate our relationship.

Sure. So, just wait right here.
It's in the kitchen.



I can't let you do this.

You're going back
where you belong.

You never cared about me.

All you care about
is yourself...

Louis, I'm not Norma.

I told you I'd never let
anything happen to you,

and I won't ever.

I should go.

Why?

You know
I love you, Donna.

You ran away, but not before
you told me you loved me.

I did that because I wanted
to make you feel better.

I don't want your pity.

You need to start thinking
about a new secretary.



Harvey has no idea
how lucky he is to have you.

DONNA: I'm leaving you,
Harvey.

You can't just quit.

I'm not quitting.

I'm going to work for Louis.

HARVEY: So I told him
I'll cave on the billables,

but if he wants someone
to kiss his ass all day,

he'll have to settle
for Louis.

(CHUCKLES) And
what did he say?

I don't know,
but we got paid

and I haven't heard
from him in a week.

I have to say, Harvey,
all things considered,

you're taking this whole
Donna-Louis thing in stride.

Well, I may have my issues, but
they only make me stronger.

Good, because we're
about to walk into a room

packed with people who think
they've got us by the balls.

Oh, I don't care what they think,
because I'm going to kill it.

What the hell
is going on?

What's going on is I left you five
messages and you never called me back.

The meeting was over an hour
ago and you weren't here.

Five messages?

Please, you have to understand,
I lost my secretary.

I don't give a shit.
I lost my company.

No, you haven't.
We can get them back.

I can take care of it.

Bullshit.

You can't even
take care of yourself.

Sorry, Harvey,
you're on your own.

And then, what happens?
HARVEY: And then, I get up.

And how do you feel
when you get up?

I told you I don't want
to talk about how I feel.

Then, what are
you doing here?

You know what
I'm doing here.

I told you.

Your sleepless nights
aren't going to stop

until you accept the fact that
your secretary isn't coming back.

And I told you they'll
stop when she does.

Just write me
another prescription

and let me get some
sleep in the meantime.

It doesn't work that way.

Then how does it work?

Why don't we start with you taking
me through the whole story again?

What the hell good
is that going to do?

You want the truth?

I think you might have
left some things out.

Well, I didn't.

And I'm not about to go through
this whole damn thing again.

Then go and find yourself
another doctor.

Because I'm not writing a prescription
for anything without you talking to me.

(MIKE SIGHS)

(CHUCKLES)

I...

I can't stop
staring at it.

Oh, I noticed.

Yeah. So will
everyone else.

Well, I mean, yeah.
That's the point.

For everyone to realize
that you're my property.

(LAUGHING) Okay.

Are you saying
you own me now?

Oh, hell, yeah.
And this here is just,

like, a little collar
for your finger.

(CHUCKLES)

Mmm.

Mike, seriously.
Hmm?

I know we told
my parents last night.

But I was thinking that,
in terms of work,

maybe we should keep it
to ourselves for a bit?

I understand.

You do?

Sure. You know, it's like
there's this bubble around us.

And you just don't
want it to burst yet.

And you're okay with that?

Rachel, you just agreed to spend
the rest of your life with me.

Right now, I'm pretty okay
with everything.

Mmm.

Then it's settled.

We'll tell Donna
and that's it.

What?

What about the bubble? There's
no Donna in the bubble.

Come on. There's room
for Donna in the bubble.

You realize
I get to sleep with

whoever's in
the bubble, right?

So long as you realize
that my dad's in the bubble.

Donna it is.

(LAUGHING)

MIKE: Come here.
All right.

Remember that thing online?

(RACHEL LAUGHS)
MIKE: We're doing it.

Donna, what the hell are you doing?
What's it look like I'm doing?

I'm getting rid
of these resumes.

No, no. Oh, my God, woman.
Are you crazy?

I have interviews with Norma's
replacements in 10 minutes.

Ooh, that's going to be hard
considering the fact

that I canceled
all your interviews.

Damn it, Donna, those were the
best candidates in the city.

No, Louis, the best
candidate in the city

is standing
right in front of you.

But you told me no.

And now, I'm saying yes.

This is the most amazing
moment of my entire life.

Good.

I'll get you a temp for a couple of
weeks and then we'll get started.

Wait. I'm sorry.
Wait.

Did... You haven't
told Harvey yet?

I told him. I just...
I have to give him two weeks.

Okay, you know what?
On second thought,

as much as I
appreciate the gesture,

I think you should
just stay with Harvey.

What are you talking about?
This isn't a gesture.

No, no. Look. You just...
Do you remember

Mike almost
became my associate?

What am I talking about?
Of course you do.

Then, you'll also remember that
just as Mike had said yes,

Harvey swoops in and he takes him
back from me at the last second.

That isn't gonna happen.

What you don't know
is that I left the room.

I went to get Mike this cake that
said "Welcome to Team Litt."

Two minutes later, I come back
and there they are, high-fiving.

Laughing-

Then, they leave.

I threw the cake out.

I cannot have that
happen again.

With you.

Louis.

I told you, that isn't
going to happen.

Did you not
just hear me?

It took Harvey two minutes
to steal Mike back from me.

With you,
he has two weeks.

So, no, thank you.

Donna, I need to get in touch
with Henderson before lunch,

and I need to get Braxton
a bottle of wine.

I took care
of all that.

Good.

Thanks.

Is there anything else
you want to talk about?

Not that I can think of.

Did you really think that if you
just acted like I changed my mind

that I'd change my mind?

Oh, come on, Donna.
Louis?

I mean, how long do you think
that's going to last?

It's going to last however
long I want it to last.

Donna.
Harvey, this is happening.

This is my formal notice.

But I have no intention
of leaving you high and dry,

so let's talk about finding you
someone in the next two weeks.

Finding me someone.
Yes.

I already have a list of the top
legal secretaries in the city.

You mean you made a list for Louis
before you decided to abandon me.

I'm not abandoning
you, Harvey.

I'm doing what's best for me.

Well, as long as we're doing
what's best for ourselves,

you know
what's best for me?

Ripping the Band-Aid off.
Harvey.

So, why don't you
clean out your desk,

walk yourself over to Louis,
and take that with you.

This isn't how two adults who
care about each other move on.

As far as I'm concerned, two
adults who care about each other

don't move on at all.

So...

If you're gonna go,
just go.

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

Au right!

All step back
I'm 'bout to dance

The greenback boogie

(EXHALES)

JESSICA: What the hell
are you doing in here?

Kevin Slattery's been
waiting 20 minutes.

What?
Kevin Slattery.

Didn't Donna
tell you?

No, she, uh...

Harvey.

What's going on?

Nothing's going on.
Why is Kevin Slattery here?

He's looking
for a new lawyer

and I'm looking
for you to close him.

Why me?

WhY not you?

Because everybody
and their mother

knows they're going bankrupt
in two weeks

and I'm not
a bankruptcy expert.

Aren't you
listening to me?

He doesn't want
to declare bankruptcy.

He wants you
to fight for him.

Then he's come to me
on the right day.

Kevin.

I hear you're looking
for a fight

and I understand we don't
have much time.

We don't. And I just wasted
half an hour waiting for you.

So, before we get to
anything, you're going to

convince me why I should go
with you in the first place.

Okay, we're done.

Don't let the door
hit you on the way out.

What?
You heard me.

Only one of us is facing
bankruptcy and it isn't me.

So, instead of scolding me
for being late,

you needed to be convincing me why
I should save your dying company.

So, nice to meet you.

Loyalty.

What did you just say?

I have a game-changing contract
that's guaranteed to come my way

in six weeks
if we can show solvency.

Guaranteed by who?

My college roommate.

And you tell that
to your bankers,

word gets out
it's up for bid,

your competitors
undercut you,

and your roommate won't be
able to help you anymore.

But if we make it six weeks,
we're back in business.

And I guarantee
we'll never leave you.

Here's the thing, Kevin.

I don't give a shit about
a regional trucking company

that's only going
to increase our billings 1%.

I get you out of this, your stock's
going to go through the roof.

You want a piece.
I want 20%.

No way.

You're the one
coming to me, okay'?

80% of something is a whole lot
better than 100% of nothing.

You're going to fight out there
like you just did in here?

This is the preseason, Kevin.

I haven't even
broken a sweat.

Do you have a second?

Yeah, sure.
What's going on?

Donna, are you shaking?

I never should have
expected him to...

What's going on? You know what?
Never mind. Sorry.

Urn...

What did you
want to talk about?

And you never should have
expected who to what?

What happened?

I'm leaving Harvey.

Oh, my God.

Why?

You remember when I told you
you could never go back,

and then I said
I lied about that?

Uh-huh.

It turns out I was lying
when I said I lied.

So, you're just
going to leave?

No, I'm going to
work for Louis.

What? When?

(SCOFFS)

Today.

I'm so sorry, Rachel.

You didn't come in here
to talk about this.

What did you want to talk about?
No, it's nothing.

It can wait.

You got something for me?
When don't I?

I redid your shitty motion
to dismiss on Colter.

My "shitty motion"?

Yeah, your precedents might as well
have been Flintstone v. Rubble.

Listen to me.

The Flintstones is
an iconic classic

that clearly conveys the fact that...
That you're old?

Hey, you're the one who
came up with the reference.

Which conveys
the fact that I'm smart.

Wow, somebody took their confidence
booster shot this morning.

Actually,
I took it last night.

And by took it, I mean
I asked Rachel to marry me.

(SNAPS FINGERS) Oh, shit, l
wasn’t supposed to tell you that.

(WHISPERS) But I just did.

Then I won't say congratulations yet.
Oh, no, you can still say it.

And I can also say I need a list of
every one of Slattery Corp's creditors,

and I need it yesterday.

Now, why would you say that
instead of congratulations?

Because we have
less than two weeks

to keep them
out of bankruptcy

and we can't do that
without knowing every person

Kevin Slattery
owes a nickel to.

Harvey, that list is going
to be over 50 names long.

There's no way we can get
to all of them in two weeks.

You know what? Instead of
telling me what we can't do

and asking me for a copy
of Brides Magazine,

why don't you just get
the damn list together?

You told him we're engaged?

I couldn't help myself. But
now, I wish I hadn't told him.

Harvey, what's going on with you?
Nothing's going on.

Congratulations.

There, I said it.

Where the hell
is my calendar? I...

You know, I had it
right here yesterday.

I don't know.
I'll go get Donna.

No, don't get Donna.
I'll take care of it.

What do you mean don't get Donna?
I said I'll take care of it.

I've got it right here.

Thanks, Rachel.

(PHONE RINGING)

Harvey Specter's office.

No, he's not available right now.
Can I take a message?

Why didn't you tell him
about Donna?

Because I knew Rachel knew
and she'd tell him

and then I wouldn't have to
waste my time with it.

Waste time or feel something?

You think I wasn't feeling
something anyway?

And what were you feeling?

Right now, I'm feeling this
deposition is never gonna end.

This isn't a deposition and you're
not getting out of this that easily.

You know, I'm getting a little
tired of your attitude.

And what attitude is that?

The attitude where I'm not going
to supply prescription narcotics

to someone who won't
tell me the truth?

The attitude that says you know
me better than I know myself.

I never said I know you
better than you know yourself.

You said I'm keeping
things from you.

And that's something
you know just as much as I do.

Oh, bullshit. I've been telling
you the truth this whole time

and I haven't left out
a goddamn word.

Okay, Harvey, if that's
how you want to play it.

I do know you better
than you know yourself.

I had you pegged about four seconds
after you walked in my door.

Which is why I know you weren't just
washing your face when Jessica walked in.

You were washing your face
because you threw up.

And you told yourself that
you were coming down

with something or you
had some bad clams.

But I'll tell you
what really happened.

You threw up because
you had a panic attack.

And you're not coming to me

because you're
having trouble sleeping.

You're coming to me

because you're scared to death
it will happen again.

RACHEL: Mike. Can I talk
to you for a minute?

What do you want
to talk about?

Captain Dickhead back there?

Look, I think maybe we should
cut him a little slack.

No, I cut him some slack when he
barely acknowledged our engagement.

Then I try to get Donna to help
him and he bites my head off.

What are you doing?

Donna's leaving him.

And she's going to
work for Louis.

What the hell happened? They've
been through everything together.

What could possibly...

Oh, my God,
they crossed the line.

It's more complicated
than that.

What does that mean?

They crossed the line
years ago.

You know what? lt doesn't matter.
I don't need to know any more.

Of course

we'll cut Harvey
all the slack in the world.

Okay, I am going to stay late and
help him get everything in order.

Hey.

Just keep in mind that cutting
him some slack is one thing.

Doing Donna's job
is another.

It's just one day.

It's not gonna last forever.

(CLEARS THROAT)

How did you
find me here?

Easy. I knew
after this morning,

you'd come in here and order your
standard sandwich of commiseration.

I don't have a sandwich
of commiseration.

Reuben on rye with bacon
instead of Russian dressing.

Well-done bacon.

And if it's all the same to you,
I would prefer to eat by myself.

Fine.

I just came in here
to give you this.

You mean...

Today is the day
I work for you.

Oh, my God.

I can't believe it.
This is really happening?

What do we do first? I mean, I'm
so goddamn turned on right now.

I don't know. Maybe we can get
a jump on some of the things

that have been piling up
since Norma.

My Dictaphone is at full capacity.
It's about to burst.

Well, I could
help you with that.

Would you?
Of course.

That's my job.

Relieving the pressure
on your Dictaphone.

Okay, you know what? Maybe we're, um...
Moving too quickly.

Okay. Well, how about
I just redo your calendar

and index every live case
you have and then

get to know every single inch
of your filing system?

I don't think that's
moving less quickly.

Culminating in that inevitable moment when
your phone finally rings and I say those

three magic words.

Oh, good, sweet Jesus.

"Louis Litt's office."

(HISSES) God damn it, woman,
we're going back right now.

Take care of the bill.
10% tip.

Well-done bacon, my ass.

He's totally not thinking
about sex right now.

Tell me you found
all 50 creditors.

Not just all 50.
I found the one.

How do you know
you found the right one?

Because I know exactly
what you're going to do.

Then let me show you
how I'm gonna do it.

(CLEARS THROAT)

(CHUCKLES)

You're really gonna make them do that?
Sure am.

All of them? Doesn't
work with some of them.

North or south?

Take your pick.

Well, Harvey,
that's brilliant.

But there's only
one problem.

It's illegal. Let them sue us.
It's civil, not criminal.

Besides,
we're bluffing, anyway.

What if I told you I have a way that
we could make it legal, anyway?

I'd say your idea better work fast because
we're going over there in an hour.

Vince Sanfilippo?

Yes.

Is there a reason
you're not turning around?

(MIMICKING HANNIBAL LECTER) I like to play
a little game with some of my visitors.

For example,
you use Evian skin cream

and sometimes you wear
L'Air du Temps. But not today.

(MIMICKING CLARICE STARLING)
Of course I do.

I'm just one generation away
from poor white trash.

And I could only dream of getting out.
Getting anywhere.

(MIMICKING HANNIBAL LECTER)
Getting all the way to the FBI.

VINCE: A census taker
tried to test me once.

I ate his liver with some fava
beans and a nice Chianti.

MIKE: You see a lot, Doctor.

But are you strong enough to point that
high-powered... Quid pro quo, Clarice.

HARVEY: All right, that's enough. We
didn't come here for a quote off.

No, you didn't.

You came here to get me to
give Kevin Slattery more time.

And that's never
going to happen.

Actually, we're here to get you
to buy up every piece of debt

associated with Slattery Freight and
then get you to give him more time.

And why would I do that?

Why? Because you're
the biggest debt holder.

And if any of the others
makes a claim,

it will trigger a bankruptcy and
you get 50 cents on the dollar

five years from tomorrow.

You think I'm going to double down
on a loser because you can quote

Silence of the Lambs?

No, you're gonna do it because
the day we file bankruptcy,

every truck in that fleet's
going straight to Canada.

And your 50 cents
on the dollar just hit 25.

But that's illegal and I will sue you
and your client into the ground.

MIKE:
Well, it would be illegal

if we hadn't just bought a defunct
Canadian trucking company for a dollar.

Bullshit! Your covenants
prohibits you from doing that.

Not if we do it before
anyone calls in our debt.

Which we did.

You're a son of a bitch.

That's exactly what I thought of
myself when I came up with the idea.

To be fair, I was the one
that came up with

the defunct Canadian
trucking company thingy. So...

Oh, yeah. You're right.
You're a son of a bitch, too.

MIKE: Oh, thanks, Harvey.
I appreciate that.

HARVEY: Well, now that
we agree what we are,

the question is what are
you gonna do about it?

(CHUCKLES)
What's so funny?

I was just thinking
about that nut-bag.

Who starts a meeting
off like that?

Yeah. Got to give him credit, though.
It was pretty fun.

You think he's going to do
that bit with the creditors?

(SCOFFS) I don't care if he makes
them put the lotion in the basket,

as long as he
buys up their debt.

(MIMICKING BUFFALO BILL) Or
else it gets the hose again.

(BOTH MIMICKING BUFFALO BILL)
Was she a great big fat person?

Good job today, Mike.

Thanks.

Does this mean I've earned the
right for us to talk about

the Donna situation?

There is no Donna situation.

Harvey, come on. I know you're
not touchy-feely, but...

Look, there's nothing
to talk about,

because it isn't gonna last.

Okay.

(DOOR OPENS)

(DOOR CLOSES)

Hey.
Hey.

I got some Georgio's
reheating in the oven.

Oh, you are my hero.

I know. I know.

Who says that men
can't cook?

I think Georgia's does.

That's a fair point.

Mmm.

So, how was your test?

Urn...

Whoa. It was that bad?
You've studied like crazy.

No, it's not that it was that bad.
I just...

I didn't take it.

What do you mean,
you didn't take it?

I decided to stay late
and help Harvey.

Help Harvey
with what?

Never mind.
I know what.

Something that would have
been done by Donna,

and should have been done
by his new secretary,

except he hasn't
hired one yet.

You're the one who said we should
cut him as much slack as he needs.

I meant tolerating him being a dick,
not you flunking out of school.

The last time I asked Harvey for time
off, he told me work is my law school.

And he was right.

I'm not going to ask him for
time when he needs me the most.

(SNICKERS)
What?

What? I was just thinking about
when I asked you to marry me.

I said how tenacious you are.

I know.

It's like you should know what
you're getting yourself into.

You see what happens when you don't
wear that collar on your finger?

Stop it. (CHUCKLES)

I can't believe
you're really mine.

Now, where would be
the perfect place to...

Good morning, Louis.

Holy shit, you just
scared the shit out of me.

What are you doing
here so early?

It's 8:15.
Well, yeah.

But we worked late last night and
I told you to take the morning.

Louis, it's day two.
I'm not taking anything.

Oh, shoot.

I get it.

You came in early
because you bought me

an expensive gift and you wanted to
surprise me by putting it on my desk.

Something like that.

Do you want me to go?
You can still surprise me.

Never mind.

Uh... Being that
you're here,

I have a prospective client
coming in at 9:00.

No, you don't.

What do you mean?
The asshole canceled?

No, the asshole intentionally
showed up an hour early

and I sent him home telling
him he was an hour late.

What, are you crazy?

That was Carl Fields, Donna.

$12 million in billings
you let walk out the door.

No, that's $12 million in
billings that's coming your way

because now he knows you're not
someone to be trifled with.

You can't know that.
Really?

Because I just got off
the phone with his secretary,

and they're expecting you to come by
with an engagement letter in an hour.

Holy shit!
Oh, shit.

What?
What's the problem?

I'm still printing
to my old printer.

Oh, you mean
the engagement letter?

Oh, Donna, please, you've done enough.
Let me take care of it.

Like I wouldn't notice.

There you go,
little fella.

Hey.

I was... I was just, um...
It's fine, Louis.

Whatever you were doing,
it's fine.

Hey, Harvey, if there are any
hard feelings with Donna...

No, Louis, no hard feelings.

Okay, but I just wanted
to say if there were...

I said there's
no hard feelings.

As a matter of fact, why don't you
tell Donna I want her to have this?

(ECHOING) She's leaving you.
(ECHOING LAUGHTER)

(LAUGHTER CONTINUES)

You wanted to see me?

That was an hour ago.
Well, I just heard.

And I just heard the results of your
little strong-arm tactic with Mike.

You mean you heard
that it worked.

Oh, I know you got them
to do what you wanted.

They bullied all the other creditors,
bought off all their debt,

and they're going to
back off for eight weeks.

Why do you
seem pissed?

Because you left
a creditor off the list.

What?
How could that happen?

I don't know how it happened,
but I know what it means.

We're going to get
held hostage.

I'll take care of it.

And if you can't take care of
it and Slattery goes bankrupt,

you better figure out
a way to keep him here.

What's that supposed
to mean?

It means Jack Soloff has been
going around the firm saying

you're never going
to save that company

and we don't have a plan to retain
their business when you don't.

Since when do you care
about what Jack Soloff says?

Since he's a senior
partner with ambition

and you dropped the ball
twice in two days.

If you're so afraid of him,
why don't you just fire him?

I'm not afraid
of anybody.

And I never said
ambition was a bad thing.

Jessica.
Harvey,

I don't know what's going
on between you and Donna.

But I do know you chose
not to let me in on it.

So, I'm going
to let you in on this.

If you can't figure out how to get
shit clone without her, I will.

How did it go with Mr.
Fields? Fine.

But before you dislocate your arm
patting yourself on the back,

I need you to file those
before you leave today.

All of them?
Yes, all of them.

That's what "Those" means.

And then, I want you to update
my WordPerfect by the morning.

Louis, I have tickets
to the theater at 8:00.

Second day and you're already
taking banking hours?

Okay, I hardly think
8:00 constitutes...

Norma worked until midnight eight
days a week and never bunted an eye.

"Bunted"?
Yes, "bunted."

You have a problem with my words now?
Okay, Louis.

I don't know if you skipped
your afternoon prunie or what,

but you're making me
feel uncomfortable.

Well, let's get
something straight.

I'm not here to make
your life comfortable.

You're here to do that for me.

And the next time you print
something in the wrong copier,

get it yourself.

I gave you one job.

To find every single one
of Slattery's creditors.

And you screwed it up.
What are you talking about?

You left one
off the list.

And as soon as they realize that
we bought out everyone else,

they'll know we have a deal
and they'll call in their debt

and the whole thing
will blow up.

Wait a second. They haven't
even called it in yet?

No, they haven't
called it in yet.

Because they're going to wait
until the last second

so they can hold us over a barrel
because you didn't do your job.

And now, I'm going to find some
leverage on Katzen Financial.

I didn't miss
Katzen Financial.

Then, why weren't they
on the list?

I don't know. They were on
the list when I sent it...

Goddamn Rachel.

Harvey.

Katzen was the last name on that list and
the only name on that page. All right?

The printer must just
have run out of paper.

This isn't Rachel's fault.

What the hell am I supposed
to tell Kevin Slattery'?

The reason you're losing
your company is because

my associate
didn't load the printer?

I don't know. How about
you tell him the truth?

That the reason he may lose his company
is because you didn't hire a secretary.

What the hell is that supposed to mean?
You know what it means.

Rachel has been killing
herself to take care of you

and we haven't said anything because
we both agreed to cut you some slack.

Ah, "we."
Yeah, "we."

But I'm not going to let you
come down on her

for screwing up something
that wasn't her job.

Her job is to do what I say.

And you better wrap
your head around that.

No, Harvey, you better wrap
your head around the fact that

Donna is gone and she
is not coming back.

And I told you. It's not going
to last with her and Louis.

You keep saying that.

But all I see is Donna outside Louis'
office and no one outside yours.

So, you better swallow your
pride and ask her for help,

or hire a new secretary.

But either way,

you're done
taking it out on Rachel.

(SIGHS)

Hey, there.
You got a minute?

(SCOFFS) Barely.

I need those two weeks
you offered me before.

I'm afraid it's
too late for that.

Donna, I'm drowning.

This whole thing
with this Slattery deal...

I'm sorry about
your deal, Harvey,

but you should have
thought about that

before you turned me down.

So, you're punishing me?

I'm not punishing you.

But I have a mountain of work.
And even if I didn't,

how do you think
Louis would feel

if I suddenly started
working for you again?

I don't give a shit
how Louis feels.

Well, how about
how I feel?

Which is that you're trying
to undermine my decision.

How the hell am I trying
to undermine your decision?

What do you call this?

That... That was before...
Before what?

Before you ran into Louis?

Before you needed
my help? What?

Donna... Do you know
where I found this?

Louis put it right on top
of the list of secretaries

that I have been
keeping for you

because I still
care about you.

And you know what
they both did?

They fed right
into his nightmare

that I'm going to leave him,

which is exactly
what you wanted.

Do you know how hard it is for me to
swallow my pride and come over here?

Do you know how hard it is
for me to say no to you?

Then, don't. I am asking you
for one little thing.

No, Harvey,
it's not one little thing.

Today, it's the Slattery deal.

Tomorrow,
it's the Weiss merger.

And then, the day after that, it
will be a million other things until

you think everything
is back to normal.

Well, it's not. This is the new normal.
This is my desk now.

And I wish I could help you,
but I can't.

Donna, please.

I'm sorry, Harvey.
You're on your own.

DR. AGARD: And that's
when it happened, isn't it?

You had another one.

(HEART THUMPING)

You know what? I don't...
I don't want to talk about it.

Step one to making
them stop is talking about it.

I couldn't think.

I couldn't see.

I could... I couldn't breathe.

DR. AGARD:
And what did you do?

HARVEY: You know what I did.
DR. AGARD: No, I know...

DR. AGARD:
I need you to say it.

Why?

Because the more you say it,

the less power
it has over you.

HARVEY: I made my way
into the bathroom.

And my heart was pounding.

And...
My chest cracked open.

(ECHOING LAUGHTER)

It was... It was like
I was underwater.

I looked at the stall and there
were these two shoes there,

piece of shit brown shoes,
untied, two guys laughing...

Yeah. And then?

HARVEY: I ran to the stall.

I threw up, and I just
waited until it was over.

(FLUSHING)

DR. AGARD: And that's
the night you came to see me.

Yeah.

And you made up a story
about having trouble sleeping

to get anti-anxiety
medication.

And you've been taking
a pill a day since.

Yes.

Busy.

Louis.

I'm not leaving you.

It says "Replacements for
Louis." Right here. On top.

"Replacements for Louis."

That's because that's the
list I made after Norma died.

But why do you still have it?

Because I was
saving it for Harvey.

This is for Harvey?

Yes, Louis.
Because I work for you now.

And I'd like to tell you to stop questioning
whether I'm going to change my mind,

but we both know that's never going
to happen. So, instead, I'll say...

You need to talk to me
about it when it does.

But I did talk
to you, Donna.

First, I loaded you up with
work and then I yelled at you

and then I put the can-opener
on top of the list.

I mean, I can't be
more direct than that.

Yes, you can, Louis.

Because I don't want that
kind of relationship anymore.

What's it for?

What's what for?
The can opener.

It's just a can
opener, Louis.

No, it's not.

Harvey was sending me a message
when he gave it to rne.

That message wasn't meant for you.
It was meant for me.

Donna, you want me to talk to you,
but now you're not talking to me.

It was a ritual that Harvey and I
would do before we went to trial.

So, the message was,

"Donna, you'll never have
something like that with me."

No, Louis, that's not what...
We should have a ritual.

Let's worry about that after
we win our first big case.

I was just about to
offer you one of those.

Jessica, if you're here
to yell at me again...

I'm not here to yell at you.

I'm here to
apologize to you.

Then, you can have a drink.

JESSICA: The truth is,

there's a time for yelling and
there is a time for understanding.

And a good partner
knows the difference.

You mean a good
managing partner.

No, I mean
a good partner.

The night you found out
Donna was in trouble,

the first thing you did
was take the time

to have a drink with me
about Jeff.

So, the least I can do is take the
time and understand your situation.

You mean the fact that
I don't have a secretary.

I mean that after 12 years,

the woman you wouldn't
come work here without

is now working
for someone else.

And you wanna know why.

I don't need to know why.

I need to know
if you want me to undo it.

What?

I know you and Donna
aren't me and Jeff,

but you are as close as two
people can be without being that.

Shit, Harvey. Scottie leaving didn't
throw you off your game this much.

I appreciate the offer.

But as long as Donna
wants to work for Louis,

I'm not going to force her
to work for me.

Okay.

Harvey.

Have you thought about what's going
to happen if she doesn't come back?

She will.

DR. AGARD: Wow.

"Wow," what?

This Jessica sounds
like a hell of a woman.

What does that have
to do with anything?

No, it doesn't.
I was... I was just...

Look, I don't care what you were doing.
We've been here long enough.

We have.

But I'm not going to give you
another prescription.

You said if I opened up... I
said if you didn't, I wouldn't.

I didn't say if you did, I would.
They're not the same thing.

God damn it.

No, hold on. You didn't
let me finish.

I'm not going to write you
another prescription.

I'm going to
give you these.

That's enough
for another week.

You want me
to come in here again.

Mmm-hmm. I sure do.

Or you can roll the dice
and spread them out.

But you're not getting anymore
without seeing me again.

One more thing.

These episodes are going to keep
happening until you accept the fact that

Donna may never come back.

(SINGING) First you lose
trust, then you get weary

Night after night,
bar after club

Trying to light fires
who woke you up

On the front lawn,
sprinklers turned on

It's not your house,
where did you go wrong

First you'll get hurt,
then you feel sorry...

MIKE: Where the hell
have you been all morning?

What are you, my mother?
I was in a meeting. Why?

Remember when you said
Katzen was going to wait

until the last second to hold us
over a barrel? Well, they didn't.

No, they sold all of their debt to
Kevin Slattery's biggest competitor.

They're going to want to put
us in the ground for good.

Well, then, it's a good thing I figured
out a way to convince them not to.

What the hell
are we still doing here?

You tell me.

Flying like a cannonball
falling to the earth

Heavy as a feather
when you hit the dirt

First you get hurt,
then you feel sorry

What the hell happened?

Atlantic Freight
is my chief rival.

If they call in the debt, they'll
force me into bankruptcy.

If they call in the debt.
What is he talking about?

He's talking about the fact that we
just came from a meeting with them.

And you're right,
they'd love nothing more

than to put you down
once and for all.

God damn it. But lucky
for you, we told them

that if they force you
into bankruptcy,

that doesn't necessarily
kill your company.

But buying your name does.

So, they own me?

That's your
brilliant solution?

No, they own
the Slattery trademark,

which they think
effectively puts you under.

But they don't know what we know.
And what is that?

HARVEY: That you have
another contract

that doesn't care about
the name of your company.

They only care
about the name of the owner.

How the hell did Katzen
even know to sell their debt?

Because I made a mistake.

You sure as hell did!

After asking for 20%
of my company

and bragging
that you could save it.

Well, it turns out you're
just an arrogant mouthpiece

that thinks
he can save anything.

But you can't.
Kevin,

nobody hates change
more than I do.

But it's coming
whether we like it or not.

And if I could save both your
company and your name, I would.

But you're right, I can't.

So, take the deal. Wake up
tomorrow and go to work.

Hey. Harvey?

Yeah.

I just wanted
to say thanks

for not throwing us
under the bus back there.

What do you mean?

Well, I mean you could have
told Kevin Slattery the truth.

That mistake
was mine and Rachel's.

No, it wasn't.

You were right.
That mistake was mine.

Hey. What are you
doing here so late?

You didn't hear?

We closed the Davis brothers.

That's huge.
It is.

So, I thought maybe this was the
perfect time to start our ritual.

Uh, Donna, listen.
I've been thinking.

I don't think
we need to have a ritual.

Come on.
It's our first big win.

This is the same
exact cake I got Mike.

I know.
How did you know?

I'm Donna.

(SCOFFS)

You sure are.

What flavor is it?

Well, I called Esther and she said
German chocolate was your favorite.

I hate German chocolate. Which
is why I got you mocha fudge.

It's perfect.

(SNIFFLES)

What can I do
for you, Harvey?

I just wanted to see
if you still had that list.

Of course I do.

(SINGING)
Shine your light down here

Call out now let me hear

AH you have to give with
a tune that's truly you

Shine along
Shine along

Shine along
Shine along

What's this?

Your engagement
present.

Come on, Rachel. How long did you think
you could keep that glow a secret?

I'm glowing? Like Times
Square on New Year's Eve.

To me.

The rest of the world
can't even see you

under that pile of work
you took on to help Harvey.

You knew about that too?

Of course I did. Which is
why you're getting this.

Donna, you didn't have to...
I didn't, but Harvey did.

And he won't think
to get you two a gift

because I was always the one who
took care of things like that, so...

I don't know what to say.

Say thank you.

Thank you.
And promise me

no matter what is
going on in my life,

you won't feel bad about telling
me all the good things in yours.

I promise.

What is this?

HARVEY: A copy of
Brides Magazine.

Why is it on my desk?

How else are you
going to pick your colors?

Colors?

What are colors? How do
you Know what they are?

Because I'm a grown man.

Really? Because you sound
more like a grown woman.

That's very hurtful. I looked
everywhere for that issue.

Thanks, Harvey.

Thank me on the way.
Where are we going?

To do what we should have clone
the clay you got engaged.

Nets game.

Are you kidding?

Front row.

Holy shit.

Is Jay-Z going to be there?

Yeah, right next to me. Next to you?
Wait, this is my gift.

Hey. I don't care
whose gift it is.

I'm not doing that to Jay-Z.
Oh, you know what?

I'll just sit next to Beyoncé
and we'll call it a draw.

You know what? Never mind.
I'm taking Rachel.

Yeah? Well, why don't you
just give them to both of us?

Oh, wait, then who would stay
here and do all of your work?

Shit. ls that
too soon?

Oh, I'm so sorry,
bud. Let's go!
