Suits (2011–…): Season 5, Episode 11 - Blowback - full transcript

(HARVEY READING)

HARVEY: Mike Ross
never went to law school.

I knew it,
and I hired him anyway.

I still can't stay, Harvey.

You're making it seem
like I'm the one

that's taking away
your dream wedding.

You are the one taking
away my dream wedding.

Nothing would
make me happier

than to raise a glass
to your new life.

But I can't. Oh, so, now,
I shouldn't get married.

No, I'm saying
you should quit.



You tell me right now,
why are you here?

It's not that simple.
Why are you here?

(YELLING) Because I'm afraid!

You're calling for an emergency
vote of no confidence today.

Take a picture.

Because tomorrow morning,
those letters are coming down.

Why should I believe you would even
live up to your end of the bargain?

Because, I don't give a shit about
your war with Daniel Hardman.

All I want to do

is see you get down on your
knees and say, "I quit."

As of now, the company that's
been targeting our clients

is no longer represented
by Daniel Hardman.

All in favor
of Jessica staying.

How exactly did you get that
termination letter from Forstman?



I agreed to step down.

You are not going
to step down.

You've given up
everything for this firm.

It's time someone gave up
something for you.

Harvey, you didn't
just give me my dream.

You gave me a family.

But I'm going to have a family
of my own someday, and...

I can't have all of this
hanging over their heads.

You don't have
to do this for me.

I'm doing it for us.

Because as long as you're with me...
I'm with you.

MAN: Michael James Ross.
Yes?

You're under arrest for
conspiracy to commit fraud.

GIBBS: Michael Ross.

I'm Assistant U. S. Attorney
Anita Gibbs.

And unlike you,
I'm a real attorney.

MIKE: I'm not answering any questions
until I speak to my lawyer.

I heard you asked
for him before.

But while we're waiting, I
just wanted to let you know

that I'm the one who's
going to put you in jail.

Nothing?

Maybe you think that you've
committed a victimless crime.

But let me assure you,
you haven't.

By my estimation,

you've worked on 88 legal cases
in your so-called career,

and you committed fraud

every time you
picked up the phone,

mailed a letter,

signed your name

or appeared in court.

Each instance carries
a nine-month sentence.

And to tell you the truth, I am
too tired to do the addition.

MIKE: Well, I'm not.

If what you're saying is true and
there's a limit of one count per case,

then I'll be going
to prison for 66 years.

I've always
been good at math.

GIBBS: Well, I haven't.

But what I am good at
is putting away

fake,cocky, tough guys like
you and seeing them break.

So, here's how
this is going to go.

You play ball,
I go easy on you.

You don't...

In my experience, college
boys, even fake ones,

don't do well in prison.

And if you think your people are
rushing down here to bail you out,

you've got
another thing coming.

Because I'm going to Keep
you in here all night.

Okay.

I'll confess.

But I want
the whole thing on tape.

Harvey, thank God.
I need to talk to you.

Rachel, calm down.
What's going on?

Mike's been arrested.
What?

Two men from
the U.S. Attorney's office.

They just walked right up to
him and they arrested him.

I don't know what to do.
All right.

It's going to be okay.

It's not going to be okay. He's by himself.
We have to do something.

lam. I'm going
down there right now.

No, you're not. HARVEY:
Jessica, this isn't up to you.

Harvey, from this second,

you are an unindicted
co-conspirator, and so am I.

And so are you.

Which means none of us can
afford to be anywhere near Mike.

I don't care. Someone has
to do something.

And if it isn't going to be
you, it's going to be me.

You're going to
let her go down there?

JESSICA: Harvey, she can knock
on that door all she wants.

They're not going to let
her see him tonight.

Besides, she's his fiancée.

Seeing him is not going
to make her look guilty.

It's not going to make
me look guilty either.

It makes me look like
I'm standing by my guy.

No, what's going to Keep
you from looking guilty

is you and I ripping up
your letter of resignation.

Jessica, I just made
a deal with Forstman.

He finds out that I'm still
here, he picks up the phone,

calls Hardman, and the two of
them pick this place apart.

And if whoever
is prosecuting this case

finds out you left on the same
night they arrested Mike,

then we may as well
turn ourselves in.

Which is why I need to get in there
and talk to Mike as his lawyer.

Then this is
what's going to happen.

You are now his lawyer.

But you do whatever you have to
do to work out of your house.

Because I'm not telling
anybody you resigned.

GIBBS: This is A.U.S.A. Anita
Gibbs with Michael Ross.

Time is 11:05 p.m.

Mr. Ross has agreed to confess with the
stipulation that he do it on videotape.

I actually never said
I'd confess.

I said I'd talk.

You did say you'd confess.

Oh. Maybe I did.

But then again, I also asked
to see my lawyer at 9:03.

It's two hours later and I still
haven't been able to do that.

Which means anything that I've
said between then and now

is not only inadmissible, it's also
evidence that you violated my rights.

Oh, I get it.

You just wanted
to get that on tape.

I sure did.

And if I don't see my
lawyer in an hour,

you'd better be able to prove that you've made
every effort to contact him and couldn't.

I know I'm not supposed to know these
things because I'm not a lawyer.

But I do.

Because I am.

GIBBS: Okay,
you've had your fun.

Now, I'm going
to have mine.

Your lawyer actually did show
up about a half hour ago.

There seemed to be a little miscommunication
about what room you were in.

But that's all been
straightened out.

So, here he is.

Robert.

GIBBS: Oh, I see.

You thought you were going to see
Harvey Specter come in this room

so you two could get
your stories straight.

Apparently, that's not
going to happen.

Now, normally, this is the
part where I leave the room.

But it almost looks like
you want me to stay.

Just so you know,
we can't watch

or record anything
that happens in here.

Attorney-client privilege
and what-not.

But if you're innocent
of these charges,

I'm sure you have
nothing to fear

being alone in this room
with that man.

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

What are you
doing here, Robert?

Rachel called me
and asked me to help you.

Is she okay?
No.

She's not.

Because she's out there
and you're in here.

And so, you're going
to tell me right now.

Is this shit true?

Listen, I can
explain everything.

I don't need
an explanation.

I want an answer to
the goddamn question.

Lawyers don't ask
that question.

I'm not asking you
as your lawyer.

I'm asking you as a man.

You know what the answer is.

God damn it.

(BANGS ON TABLE)

You wanted the truth
and now you got it.

But you've got to tell me. What
are you doing here, Robert?

I told you.
I'm here because

Rachel begged me
to help you.

Not because I give a shit
about what happens to you.

So, you're going to do
exactly what I say

and I'm going to help you
get out of this thing.

No, there's no getting out
of this thing.

Oh, yes, there is

and you
damn well know it.

That woman
doesn't get anything

by prosecuting
a fraud like you.

But she would love
to get Harvey Specter.

I'm not turning on Harvey.

Oh, he would do the same goddamn
thing to you in a heartbeat.

If you think that,
then you don't know Harvey.

You better listen to me.
(MIKE GRUNTS)

You better get your head
out of your ass,

because I'm throwing you
a goddamn lifeline.

It's the only chance
you're going to get

to save what's left
of your miserable life.

I won't do it.

Then you are on your own.

Robert, please.

Whatever you're going
to say, don't say it.

The truth is,
you're doing me a favor.

Because after I got you
out of this,

I was going to tell you
to stay away from Rachel

for the rest of your life.

But I don't have
to do it now.

Because you're going
to wind up

in prison, anyway.

(DOOR OPENS AND CLOSES)

(KNOCKING ON DOOR)

Louis.

What's going on?

Donna, I need to come in.

What happened?

Donna, I need you to sit down.
Louis.

I said you need
to sit down.

What happened to Harvey?

Please tell me
that he's okay.

Mike's been arrested.

Oh, my God.

We have to go see him.
No, no, no.

We can't go
anywhere near him.

What?

You can't go down there.

Louis, so help me God, if
you turn your back on Mike

and you claim that this has
nothing to do with you...

Just listen to me.

You're going to want to do
everything you can to get to Mike

and express your support.

But I am telling you,
that is a bad idea.

Then I need
to talk to Harvey.

No, you don't.

You need to stay the
hell away from him, too,

and count your blessings that
you don't work for him anymore.

Because if, all of a sudden, you
start showing up on his doorstep,

you are going
to find yourself

next up
on the prosecutor's list.

Louis, this is Mike and Harvey we're
talking about. They're family.

l am not saying
they're not.

I'm saying the more contact
you have with them,

the worse it is
for all of us.

Okay. I won't go
down there.

But I am going
to see Rachel.

And if you think you're going to
stop me, you are out of your mind.

l am telling you.
l am his attorney.

If you don't let me see him, I'm
going to break through that door.

You can bluster
all you want.

But you're not getting in, because
he's already with his attorney.

What? ROBERT: You
dirty son of a bitch.

Robert, calm down.
I'm not calming shit.

You brought this kid
into my life.

You put my daughter's
future in jeopardy.

Look, I know you're upset.
Upset?

You're lucky I don't
lay you out right now.

HARVEY:
Robert, listen to me.

Mike Ross is a good man.
He came to me from nothing.

I saw something in him and you did, too.
And that's why you're here.

No, I was here
to get him to turn on you.

But he's too stupid
to do that.

And I don't know if he's going
to change his mind or not.

But I don't care anymore

and I don't give a damn if I
ever see either of you again.

Did you hear that?

He's not Mike Ross'
attorney anymore.

l am.
So, let me the hell in.

Robert Zane?
Really? I'm hurt.

Harvey, this is real.
I know.

And the first thing we need to
figure out is who tipped them off.

Why the hell
do we need to do that?

Because if we're going
to get you out of this,

we have to know every damn
thing they have on you.

Are you crazy? There is
no getting out of this.

I haven't lost a case before and
I'm not about to start now.

No. This isn't just
some other case.

They're going to check the
facts, and when they do...

They're going to find
what we let them find.

You can't know that.
Yes, I can.

That's bullshit!
This is not bullshit!

Look. We can win this case.

I don't care about
winning this thing.

What the hell is wrong with you?
Harvey, I did this!

You didn't do shit,
because they don't have shit.

(LAUGHS)

What the hell
are you talking about?

Mike, you're in
the Harvard database.

You have a transcript.

You're in the bar. You're a practicing
attorney. Those facts are real.

Just like every case
you ever worked on

and every person
you've helped along the way.

Harvey,
this woman's no joke.

That woman has to show
you're a fraud.

But as far
as the world knows,

you're a goddamn lawyer and that's
the way it's going to stay.

And don't forget we don't need
to prove you're a lawyer.

She needs
to prove you're not.

DONNA: Rachel, calm down.

I can't calm clown. No one
will tell me anything.

I can't go and see him.

It is the worst moment of his
life and I'm not there for him.

Well, you will be
when you can.

On top of all that,

I don't know what my dad's going
to do when he gets there.

You called your dad?

Oh, Rachel, I don’t think
that was a good idea.

Well, I couldn't just sit here and
do nothing. Mike's been arrested.

Jessica's talking about
unindicted co-conspirators.

Okay. Well, then, he and Harvey
will just have to work it out.

And what if they don't?

Rachel, when I was in trouble,
Harvey got me out of it.

This is what he does.

l am telling you, he will
get Mike out of this.

It's just... (SIGHS)

The thought of him
in there all alone.

DONNA: He'll be okay.

It's just one night.

Man, what are you
looking at?

Nothing.

Your eyes are going
up and down on me, man.

It don't feel like nothing.

They all say nothing.
"I wasn't doing nothing."

You know what? It don't matter what
you say or do once you're inside.

A little snot like you
won't last a week.

(CHUCKLES)

You hear what I said?

You won't last
a week in there,

and you might not last
the night in here.

Listen, man.

(GRUNTS)
GUARD: Hey!

Get your hands off him, you piece of shit.
(GATE BUZZES OPEN)

You're lucky. But they
won't be here all night.

Neither will you.

Hey, hey, hey. It's fine.
It's fine. It's fine.

Leave him in here
with me. It's cool.

I mean, unless you're going to let a
federal marshal beat the shit out of me

just to try and scare me
into making a deal.

Agent Ron Da'Mico, right?

(COUGHS)

Yeah.

I saw your picture
out in the hall,

getting a commendation
from the U.S. Attorney.

Of course, you didn't have
the beard in that photo.

But you look
the same to me.

You're a smart kid.

I guess that's how you got away
with what you got away with.

But you didn't really
get away with it, did you?

l am a marshal.
But the next guy won't be.

And you give him that know-it-all
attitude, and like I said,

you won't last a night.

Yeah, well, for the record,
I'm not getting sent away.

But even if I was, it wouldn't
be a place like that.

RON: Oh, if you think you're
going to Club Fed, (CHUCKLES)

you don't know
Anita Gibbs.

Sleep well, sweetheart.

(SIGHS)

(DOOR OPENS AND CLOSES)

(RACHEL SIGHS)

How is he?

He's in custody.

And the bail hearing?

I don't know,

because I'm not
representing him.

Now, are you done
asking me questions,

because I have
a few of my own?

Like how the hell
could you do this?

Dad, because I love him.

That's sweet. But you
sound like a teenager.

And right now,
your mother

is sobbing knowing what
you've done to yourself.

Dad, Mike is the same man
that you worked with.

And you said yourself
there are things

that you did in your past
that you're not proud of...

Don't you dare
compare me to him!

lam not a fraud.
lam not a criminal.

(LAUGHS)

Rachel.

Rachel!

I tried to get him out.

But he's living
in a dream world.

And so are you if you think this
boy's done ruining your life.

Why did you
even come here?

I came here to tell you
to look in the mirror,

and get rid of him.

I can't do that.

Then I can't help you.

I was wondering when you were
going to pay me a visit.

You know who I am? I know
everyone in my cross hairs.

Now, pass me the cream
and tell me what you want.

I want to know why you arrested
my associate without just cause.

Because Mike Ross
is a fraud.

And I'm going to make sure he never
sees the inside of a courtroom again

unless he's wearing
an orange jumpsuit.

Now, if you'll excuse me, I have
an arraignment to prepare for.

What if I was to tell you
off the record

Mike Ross was
about to resign?

I'd say that sounds
very convenient.

Well, it isn't.
I'm telling you the truth.

And if your interest really is in
getting him out of the courtroom,

he was going
to do it himself.

And why should
I believe you?

I can get you
his letter of resignation.

All you have to do
is waive charges

and I'll get him to agree
never to practice law again.

I'll tell you what I'll do.

You get me that letter
and I'll waive his bail.

I don't need you
to waive bail.

Whatever it is,
he can pay for it.

No, he can't.
I'll freeze his assets.

In fact, I'll make sure that
he doesn't get bail at all.

Because hacking into the
bar is a federal crime

and if he can do that, he sure
as hell can flee the country.

You have no proof
he hacked into the bar.

Doesn't matter.
That's what he's accused of.

So, if you want to make sure
he walks out of court today,

you bring me the letter.

(LINE RINGING)

That better be you
calling down to my office

to explain
why your golden boy

was arrested
for fraud last night.

My golden boy?

You're the one that
nominated him for partner.

Because you passed him over
again and again.

And I knew there was
a reason for it.

But now,
I know what it was.

Just what are you implying?
I'm not implying anything.

You knew that kid
was a fraud.

And even if you didn't,
you should have.

So, what is it?
Are you corrupt?

Or are you just so stupid you didn't
know what was going on in your own firm?

Watch who you're calling
stupid, Jack.

Because you were
the only idiot

with his hands in his
pockets at that vote.

I didn't have
their support then.

But I will now

because Harvey's protégé just got
perp-walked out of this firm.

And since then, Harvey's
nowhere to be found.

Harvey's whereabouts
are none of your concern.

Well, the partners
are concerned.

They need a leader
they can trust.

And I'll bet someone's trying to
convince them that leader is you.

JACK: Well, look at that.

You do know what's going on
in your own firm after all.

JESSICA: I'm going to give you
some advice from the throne,

free of charge.

You attack this firm's
leadership when it's in crisis

over an
unproven allegation,

you're going to look
like a bottom feeder.

And even if they
vote me out,

they sure as hell
won't vote you in.

Donna. What are you
doing here?

Gretchen told me
you weren't feeling well,

so I stopped by to see
how you're doing

and tell you
to cut the bullshit.

I don't understand.

You've never taken
a sick day in your life

and Mike
just got arrested.

So, I want to know
what the hell is going on.

I can't be in the office
right now.

Why not?

Because I resigned.

What?

Because of Mike?

Because it's the only way
to get Forstman to back off.

DONNA: I don't care
about Forstman.

You're leaving the firm
when we need you the most?

Donna, right now, I have to
stay away from the office.

But I'm not
leaving anyone.

I'm representing Mike.
So, you saw him.

Last night.
And?

He's hanging in.

I just need this bail
hearing to go smoothly.

What do you mean,
go smoothly?

What's going on? The
prosecutor's playing hardball.

She's trying
to keep him without bail.

Harvey, Rachel is
not doing well.

You have to get him
out of there.

Then I need you to get something
from the office for me.

(MOUTHING)

I understand you've reached
an agreement to waive bail?

GIBBS: We have,
Your Honor.

No bail is requested
at this time.

JUDGE RALLS: Are you sure?
GIBBS: Yes, I'm sure.

However, I would like
to introduce a motion

to have Mr. Specter removed
as attorney for Mr. Ross.

MIKE: What?
On what grounds?

On the grounds that they conspired
to defraud the bar association,

every client they ever had, and
the people of the United States.

What's your proof?

This letter showing Mr.
Ross was going to resign.

They conspired to fabricate it.
We had a deal.

I don't care
what we had.

The two of them concocted a story under
the guise of attorney-client privilege,

which they were
only able to do

because Mr. Specter is both
his boss and his attorney.

I gave you that letter
in good faith.

You gave me that letter
in a blatant attempt

to get me to drop charges
against your co-conspirator.

That is slander
and inadmissible.

That's enough.
My chambers. Ten minutes.

You gave her that letter?
I did it to get you out.

Yeah. I don't care
about getting bail

if it lands us
both in prison.

It's not going to
land us in prison.

And it would have
come out anyway.

We can't just destroy
every piece of evidence.

Oh, we can't do anything
with any piece of evidence

because she's about to get
you kicked off my case.

She has no grounds
to kick me off.

We didn't conspire
to write that letter.

But we conspired to do something
else, in case you forgot.

Then we better
come up with something.

And we better
come up with it fast.

I'm not in the habit of
removing counsel, Miss Gibbs.

And I'm not in the habit
of having an accomplice

be the attorney on a case.

I'm entitled
to representation.

GIBBS: And you
had it last night.

Your attorney of record
is listed as Robert Zane.

The only reason you
want me off this case

is so you can
pressure Robert

into making my client
take your bullshit offer.

The reason I want you
off this case

is because you're an
unindicted co-conspirator.

If he's an unindicted
co-conspirator, then so are you.

Excuse me? HARVEY: You
violated my client's rights

the night he was arrested
and we have it on tape.

That is
a complete fabrication

based on the word
of a con man.

An alleged con man

with a photographic memory,
Your Honor.

And what does that
have to do with anything?

MIKE: Because if I'm lying
about a digital tape,

then how do I know the
serial number of the camera

you used
in your interrogation?

R-K-Z-9-8-6-5-3-2.

Little piece of blue tape
keeping the battery attached.

You want to
remove your motion

or do I have to
subpoena that camera?

I withdraw my motion,
Your Honor.

You're free
to go, Mr. Ross.

And Mr. Specter
is your attorney.

All this proves is that you
two were in on this together.

What this proves is
you'll do anything to win.

And now the judge
knows it and so do I.

Louis, put down
whatever you're doing.

What do you need?
I need you to make sure

there's nothing
in the bylaws

Jack Soloff can use to call
for a vote and get me out.

I can tell you
right now,

he can't do anything
for two weeks.

But after that, there's nothing
we can do to stop him.

Then I need you to figure out a
plan B, because in two weeks...

Wait a second.
Why isn't Harvey here?

What do you mean? I mean, it's
his firm as much as ours.

He's the one who started
this whole thing.

So, there must be
a reason he's not here.

Harvey's working
on Mike's defense.

Oh, God damn it! That
makes us all look guilty

and puts us all
in jeopardy, Jessica.

That was my reaction, too.

And then I realized this allows
us to communicate with Mike

and each other
and it's all privileged.

Then, I want it said
right now,

Donna stays out of it.

JESSICA: Well, that's not
going to be a problem,

because Harvey
doesn't work here anymore.

What?

He resigned to get
Forstman to back off.

Well, then, let me guess.

The prosecutor
can't know he did that

and Forstman
can't know he didn't.

Exactly.
Jesus Christ, Jessica!

If Harvey's not here, that even
makes us more vulnerable to Jack.

Which is why
I need you to step up

and figure out a way

to keep that son of a
bitch from taking me out.

(SIGHS)

Are you okay?
I am now.

You're out.

And I have no intention
of ever going back in.

Oh.

What are we going
to do now?

HARVEY: I'll tell you
what we're going to do.

We're going
to go on offense.

What does that mean?

It means finding out
what she knows

and how she knows it.

And it starts with us
getting into a room

and making a list of every goddamn
person who knows the truth.

Donna, what are you doing in here?
I need your help.

Don't you mean, "Thanks
for working late, Donna.

"May I ask for your
assistance with something?"

No, I mean, Jack Soloff is
crawling up our collective asses,

and I need you to...
What is that?

It's a private matter.

Mike Ross'
employment records?

God damn it, Donna.

You're doing work for Harvey?
Louis.

I explicitly told you

to stay away
from Mike's case.

And I heard you.

I just don't care.

What did you say to me?

I said I don't care.

Well, I forbid you
to do this.

Excuse me?

Donna, I don't think
you get it.

There is going
to come a time

where you're going to have to
choose between yourself and them.

And I am not
going to let you

throw your life away
for either one of them.

You know what, Louis?

If they're going
to come for me,

they're going to
come for me.

But until then, if Mike
and Harvey need my help,

I'm going
to give it to them.

And if you have
a problem with that,

you might as well fire me.

Robert'?

ROBERT: When Rachel first told me
she didn't want to work for me,

we fought all night.

I didn't think any other
firm was good enough.

And then, she told me she
was going to work for you.

And that changed everything.

A brilliant black woman.

Mentor for my baby girl.

Someone who could teach her what
the world does to people like us.

How to get down
in the mud

and still manage
to keep her dignity.

And look at what
you taught her instead.

Is that what you
came here to tell me?

ROBERT: I came here
to tell you to fire Rachel.

Because she won't quit.

And when they come at him
to turn on you,

I don't want her within a
thousand miles of this place.

JESSICA: I'm sorry, Robert.

I can't do that.

And you know why.

I do.

Because it makes him
look guilty.

Which he already is.

And when they ask me to help
to get him to turn on you,

I'm going to recommend that he does.
You do what you need to do.

And I'll do what I need
to do, to save my firm.

ROBERT: It doesn't matter
what you do.

Your firm is going
to crumble all around you.

Oh, is that a threat?

I don't have
to threaten you.

I don't have
to lift a finger.

Because people
are going to come at you

from places you didn't
even know existed.

And I'm going to enjoy
every second of it.

JESSICA: Louis,
if you wanted to see me,

you didn't have to send me a message
telling me to meet you here.

I did that because
I have a foolproof plan

to stop Jack before
he even gets started.

Let's hear it.

Make me managing partner.

Come again?
It's the perfect solution.

I step in,
the target's off your back

and we are fine
until this all blows over.

I don't believe this.
You want my goddamn job.

What? It's not like that.

No one thinks that I have
anything to do with Mike.

My ethics
are beyond reproach.

I don't recall them
being beyond reproach

when you used Mike's secret
to get your name on the wall.

Jessica...
Louis!

You are out for yourself and
I'm not going to stand for it.

How the hell
could you say that to me

after you just
told me to step up?

You want to step up?

Then do what I goddamn
told you to do.

And don't come
to me with some

I'm-not-part-of-this
Mike Ross bullshit ever again.

(INDISTINCT TALKING)

I was wondering how long
it was going to take you.

You heard?
Everybody's heard.

Scottie, I have something to ask you and
you're not going to like what it is.

I can't believe it.
You think I would do that?

No, I know
you'd never do that.

Then what are
you doing here?

Mike thought it could be
you and I promised him

I'd look you
in the eye and ask.

Okay, so, let me
get this straight.

I keep Mike's secret,
throw a case for you,

and now you're here
taking orders from him

because you
don't trust me?

I do trust you.
And I told Mike I did.

Oh.

Which is why
the real reason you're here

is not to ask me
if I handed him in,

but to tell me
to keep quiet.

No. Not to tell you. To ask
you if you're going to.

What is the difference?

Scottie.
Harvey.

I am not
in your life anymore.

I mean, what makes you think that
they're going to come to me?

Because you know
how this works.

They're going to dig
into my personal life.

And when they do,
they're going to find you.

And how many women like me are
you paying a visit to today?

There are no women
like you and you know that.

What I know is the last
time you came to me,

I told you I never wanted to
hear Mike Ross' name again.

And once again, here you are
asking me to do something

for the person that
destroyed our relationship.

Scottie, I'm not here
to argue with you.

But you still want to know
what I'm going to do?

I do.

VVell, I guess we're just going to have
to find that out when they come.

I need to talk to you.

Look, we've already discussed all
there is to discuss about the wedding

and I can't go,
so unless you've quit...

I was arrested.

What?
Two nights ago.

In my office.

Two U.S. Marshals grabbed
me out of the blue.

I'm sorry. You can
save your sorry's.

I want to know if you're
the one who turned me in.

What? Jesus Christ, I can't
believe you'd think that.

Why wouldn't I?

You've done it before. And
you also told Father Walker.

And I still haven't heard
you say that it wasn't you.

Well, it wasn't me.

And going
to Father Walker

was about making things
right in my life.

Yeah, well, I've got a way you
can make things right with me.

They're going to come to you to
put together a case against me

and I need to know
what you're going to say.

I don't know what
I'm going to say, Michael.

Do you want to write down
my answers for me

like you used to
before class?

Yeah, I do.

And this time, the
answer is going to be,

"I need to speak to
my lawyer." Wow.

Twenty years of friendship all
comes clown to "Lawyer up," huh?

Yeah, it does.

And you owe me, Trevor.
I can't lie for you, Mike.

I'm not asking you
to lie for me.

I'm asking you
to pay me back

for every time in my life
you have screwed me over.

Okay.

But I'm not doing this
to make it up to you.

I'm doing this
to make sure my family

doesn't get
dragged into this.

So, don't bother me
with this again

or I may just have to
tell them everything I know.

I see you can dish it out. The
question is, can you take a punch?

Why don't you put the gloves
on and we can find out?

I don't know
if you've noticed,

but we're already
in the ring

and you're not
in my class.

What are you doing here?

I just wanted
to look you in the eye

and ask if you still work
at Pearson Specter Litt.

Excuse me?

I stopped
by your office to see

if you were serious about
pleading this thing out.

And you weren't there.

So, I asked your secretary when you'd
be coming back and she got very cagey.

And now I find you here, boxing
in the middle of the day.

I'm blowing off steam.
I don't think so.

I think I was wrong
about you and Mr. Ross

fabricating the letter
of resignation.

And I think
Jessica Pearson

found out what you two
were up to

and rather than making
herself look like a fool

by handing you in,

she forced you both
to resign.

And now,
you're on your own.

And I think if you want
to write fiction,

I hear they've got
a remedial class at N.Y.U.

Maybe I'm wrong.

Maybe Jessica knew
about Mike Ross all along.

In which case, maybe
you would turn on her.

Why don't you get the hell out
of here before I turn on you?

I will.

But if I find out
you resigned,

that's evidence
you're a co-conspirator.

And I'll not only
get you off this case,

I'll put you behind bars
along with your little pet.

What the hell is this?

You know what it is.
It's formal notice.

Your services are no longer required.
(SCOFFS)

I don't believe this.

You're firing me?
Yes, I am.

And I want you to pack
your things up tonight

because you and I don't see eye
to eye on your priorities.

Okay. Louis.

Just because
we had a fight...

No, this has nothing
to do with that.

So, you're saying that this has nothing
to do with you lashing out at me

because of the fight
we had before.

No, it doesn't.

Because among other things, you set your
own hours, you can't take dictation,

and to top all that, you
can't read people for shit.

What's going on?

You almost went to jail
for helping them once before

and I couldn't take that.

And the thought
of losing you once again?

So, you know that they need my help.
Yeah. I do.

And now, you're free to go.

What made you
change your mind?

Jessica accused me
of not being a team player.

And she was wrong
about me and...

I was wrong about you.

Thank you, Louis.

I have to go.

No, Louis.

You don't.

What are you
doing here?

Our conversation got out
short the other night.

So, Anita Gibbs
sent you here

to tell me that
if I go to prison,

I'm not going
to come out the same.

You're right. She did.

She wanted me to come here and
scare the shit out of you

and tell you about everything that's
going to be happening to you inside.

And who says I'm ever going to be inside?
Maybe you won't.

But if you do.

I'm here to tell you everything that's
going to happen on the outside.

Why don't you get the hell out of here?
Listen to me.

Anita's going to come
to you with a deal

and it's not going to be
through Harvey Specter.

And if you're smart,
you'll take it.

I said get the hell out.
All right, I'll go.

Just let me
tell you something.

They don't have conjugal
visits in federal prison.

And even if they did,
I've seen your fiancée.

She's smart.
She's beautiful.

She has a future.

And girls like that
don't wait around,

no matter what they say.

(DOOR CLOSES)

(DOOR CLOSES)

(KEYS JANGLING)

Hey.

Hey.

MIKE: This...
I wanted to talk...

Sorry, you go first.

My father was here.

That woman went to him
and offered a deal.

Let me guess.

They want me
to turn on Harvey.

They'll drop all the charges and you
won't have to spend a minute in prison.

What did you tell him?

I told him that I would
give you the message.

That you'd give me
the message?

Rachel, you know
there's no way in hell

I am ever going to turn on them, right?
You know that.

Yes, I do.
Do you?

What's that
supposed to mean?

It means that you should have told him
that I'm loyal to everyone in my life

and I would rather
go to jail than betray them.

I did tell him that!

So, then, why didn't you tell
me that you told him that?

Because that's not
what you asked me.

Tell me right now that the
idea never crossed your mind

that I should
take this deal.

Of course it popped
into my head for a second...

Wait. So, you think that I should just
turn on them the second things look bad?

That is not what I said.

Is that what you're
thinking of doing to me?

How could you even
ask me that?

I never even thought
for a second

that you would
even consider

an idea so disgusting
as turning on Harvey.

The only reason
I thought about it

is because I am scared to
death of you going to prison.

Scared of me
going to prison

or scared that
you can't stick around?

Are you...

(KNOCK ON DOOR)

Mike, don't!

We need to talk!

We've got a problem.

Yeah, we do.

Because it wasn't Trevor.

It wasn't Scottie either,
but that's not our problem.

Gibbs came
to see me earlier.

She knows
I'm not in the office.

What does that mean?

MIKE: It means she's going
to try to use it as evidence

of Harvey being
a co-conspirator.

And if she does that,
Harvey can't represent me.

(SIGHS)

What's going on?

They offered Mike a deal.
They want him to turn on you.

Huh. Then,
you're in good company.

Because they offered me
a deal to turn on Jessica.

But that's not
our problem.

Our problem is figuring out
how to get me back

without Forstman
finding out.

Wait a second.

It doesn't matter
if Forstman finds out or not

if he doesn't have someone
on the inside working for him.

What are you saying? I'm saying
that if they want me to point

the finger at someone, that
means I'm holding a gun.

It's still alive.

Did you think I would let it die?
No.

But I thought
you might give it away.

Well, I'm more sentimental
than you think.

How did you get in here?

Jessica told me how when I told
her what I was coming here to do.

And what is that?

You need me.

Because as good
as Gretchen is,

she can't be a part of this
and you know it.

Are you saying
you're coming back to me?

Yes.

lam.

Good.

Good.

Then I'll see you
back in the office tomorrow.

What do you mean?

I mean I'm coming back.

How did you swing that?
Hasn't happened yet,

but I've got a little secret
weapon called Mike Ross.

Well, then.

I'll see you tomorrow.

Donna.

How did Louis take it?

Believe it or not,
it was his idea.

(KNOCKS ON DOOR)

Surprised to see me?

As a matter of fact, I am.

But as long as you're here,
I have a question for you.

Oh. You want to know
if it's true.

JACK: Oh, I know it's true.

I want to know why you haven't tried
to deal your way out of this.

You mean why haven't I turned
on Harvey and Jessica.

That's exactly what I mean.

That wouldn't have
anything to do with

you wanting
to use all of this

just to get your name
on the door, would it?

Oh, I'm getting my name on the door
whether you cut a deal or not.

Well, if you don't stop coming
after Harvey and Jessica,

the only door you're going to be looking
at is going to have bars on it.

What the hell
are you talking about?

Let me tell you what I just got
finished telling Daniel Hardman.

They're coming at me left and right
to admit that someone around here

knew what was going on
with me the whole time.

So, if you
don't back off

trying to take over this
firm once and for all,

I'm going to tell them that
someone was you. Bullshit.

You didn't even know me
until a few months ago.

Well, yeah. But then, you and I worked
together so closely on that case.

And then,
I confided in you.

(CHUCKLES) And then,
you made me partner

so that you would
always have an ally.

There's no way
that holds up in court.

Good luck telling that
to the judge.

And this prosecutor,
(LAUGHS) she's a real beast.

She's going to come after you
with everything she has.

I never did
anything to you.

And I'm not
leaving my firm.

MIKE: I don't give a shit
whether you stay or you go.

But Harvey is coming back
here tomorrow morning,

and if you pick up that phone
and call Charles Forstman,

then I am going
to pick up the phone

and tell that prosecutor
all about me and you.

I always wondered
what it was like in here.

It's nicer
than I thought.

Jessica, how did you
find me here?

You always go mudding
when you're upset.

I also go to the gun range.
And the ballet.

You go to the range
when you're angry.

The ballet when you're depressed.
But mud...

Heals the broken heart.

I know. And I heard about
what you did with Donna.

And I am here
to say I'm sorry.

You weren't
just out for yourself.

But I was out for myself, Jessica.
Donna showed me that.

Are you saying you were after my job?
Of course I wasn't.

But who the hell am I kidding? You know?
I mean, I'm not Frodo.

Once I got that ring of power, we
all know it would have consumed me.

That's what I like
about you, Louis.

You may not
be self-aware,

but if someone
holds up a mirror,

you are not afraid to look.

Thank you, Jessica.

And the truth is, Harvey
needs Donna more than I do.

Well, it was a selfless
and noble act.

And as far as I'm concerned, you may not
be Frodo but you are Samwise Gamgee.

Get the i... You've read
Lord of the Rings?

Four times.

I mean,
it is about power.

That's funny.

I always thought
it was about friendship.

Good night, Louis.

You sure you don't want
to have a quick mud?

Maybe next time.

Really?
No.

(ELEVATOR BELL DINGS)

How did it go?

Let's just say
Jack Soloff

is not going to be
a problem anymore.

That's one thing down.
Yeah. It is.

Look. RacheL I'm not
going to leave you.

How can you know that?

All I can tell you is that
we've managed to stay together

with this thing
hanging over our heads

for as long as
we've known each other.

And if we can get through that,
we can get through this.

But I still might
go to jail.

And if you do,
you'll get out.

And I'll be there.

And it won't be hanging
over our heads ever again.

Dusty road

Tattered and scared

There's no way
to make it fair

What remains
of who we are

And what's left
of how we care

Slow down, steady

Be here in this place
