Suits (2011–…): Season 5, Episode 3 - No Refills - full transcript

(HARVEY READING)

You took a case
on contingency

where every plaintiff
is dirt poor. Dump it.

One of the victims
was my uncle Keith.

Please, these people
need your help.

They need someone like you to fight
for them, and I can't do it.

Then what do you say
we do it together?

I'd like to propose a change to
the current compensation formula.

How many partners do you
have in your pocket

if we put your
proposal to a vote?

I can get 45%.



I'm gonna get you
the difference.

This is Harvey's last
three income statements,

and I found them sitting
in the copy machine.

LOUIS:
You came to work for me.

So now it's time for you to decide.
Are you with me or not?

I just called
for a vote tomorrow.

And I hope you've
been saving your money,

because your gravy train
is about to leave the station.

Oh, hello.

I was just...
Working.

I see that, but it's
7:30 in the morning.

What are you doing
here so early?

I like to get in
before the chaos starts.

Tell you the truth,
I was under the impression



that you wouldn't
get in till much later.

I wanted to get
a jump on the day.

Then maybe you should
get a jump on this.

Why am I paying
Louis's laundry bill?

Because if you pay it.

He won't know that we
triple-starched all of his shirts.

"We"?
Yes, we.

He came after us.
We're coming after him.

Did you think
I wouldn't have your back?

You want the truth?

I thought you'd be
asking for a raise

after seeing
how much I make.

I didn't look at
how much you make.

And as far as
I'm concerned,

anyone who did
should be fired.

You're all right,
Gretchen.

But for the time being, don't
play any more jokes on Louis.

Mind if I ask why?

Because I only play jokes on people
to express my affection for them,

and right now I have no
affection for Louis Litt.

Looks like I got here
just in time.

And why is that?

Because I'm going to ask
you to do something

you're not going
to want to do,

only this time
you're going to do it.

What didn't I do
last time?

I told you to
apologize to Louis.

And I did, right before he
held hands with Jack Soloff

and cut my earnings
in front of the entire firm.

And if you hadn't have been such a
click to Jack in the first place,

Louis would have
had nowhere to go.

This isn't about Louis, is it?
No, it isn't.

I want you to bury
the hatchet with Jack.

You mean you want me
to kiss his ass.

I mean I want you to figure
out a way to make peace

with a partner whose
influence is on the rise.

That's kissing his ass.

Well, if that's how you want
to look at it, then pucker up,

because that man
is a threat,

and he's aligned
with Louis,

and I am in no mood
for a power struggle.

(SIGHS)

Hey.
Hey.

I didn't even hear
you leave today.

That's because I left
at 5:00 in the morning,

trying to get an early
start on this case.

Uh, about that. I didn't want
to say anything last night

because you were
so excited...

But you're worried about me
working with your father.

Yes.
Hmm.

Mike, you're the two most
important men in my life.

Neither of you back
down from a fight,

and I'm just...

I'm afraid you're gonna
end up hating each other.

Rachel, do you hate
your father?

Of course not.
I love my dad.

And don't you have conflicts
with him all the time?

Yes, I do,
but it's different.

He's my family.

Yeah, he's gonna
be my family, too.

And if I'm lucky,
I'm gonna fight with him

about a lot of things
over the years.

So why not start with a fight where
we're both on the same side?

Okay, I trust you.

Good.

Jessica,
you have a minute?

I do if you're
here to tell me

why Robert Zane
is sitting in the lobby

with an appointment
to see you.

'Cause I'm pretty sure he's not
taking time out of his busy morning

to talk about
centerpieces.

No, he's not.

He is here to co-counsel
the Kelton case.

You mean the case I
explicitly told you to drop?

I mean the case that you said
would cost a fortune to fund

and you didn't wanna lay out
that kind of money for.

I didn't want to lay it out
because this case is a loser.

And I'm telling you
it's not.

And even if it is, I just
took away our downside.

By going behind my back
to our biggest competitor.

Are you telling me that
you're scared of Robert Zane?

I'd be a fool
if I wasn't.

And you're a fool
if you're not.

We let that man
into our house,

there's no telling
what he'll do.

You know what, Jessica? If Harvey
had done this, you'd be pissed,

but you'd let him
do it anyway.

And you may be
as cocky as him,

but you are not Harvey.

No, you're right.
I'm sorry.

I guess I'll just
go tell Robert

that we won't be working
together on this after all.

You know damn well if we tell
him that now, I look weak.

So maybe I am
as good as Harvey.

Well, sometimes
that's not a good thing.

Where are you going?

To get some goddamn
strength back.

Then go ahead and do it.

I won't just take you
to the woodshed.

I'll leave you there, dead.

Well, looks like you're making
yourself comfortable in my offices.

About as comfortable as
possible in these chairs.

You ever hear
of lumbar support?

I get it. You like
stodgy and functional.

But these are my chairs,
just like this is my case.

What exactly are you
doing here, Jessica?

I'm here to tell you we're
taking half the contingency.

And I'm here to respond.
I'm giving you a third.

We brought this
case to you.

After you found it in a
box crying for its mama.

Plus, I'm footing the bill, which
means this fee discussion is over.

Well, this fee
discussion may be over,

but the power discussion
is just getting started.

You don't give a shit
about the money, do you?

On this particular case,

all I give a shit about
is keeping you in check.

Which means, for the
duration of this matter,

you will be treating
Mike Ross like a partner.

Oh, you gotta
be kidding me.

That boy barely shaves. I don't
care if he's still in diapers.

He's representing my firm, which
means he's representing me.

You look at him,
you see me.

You're asking
for a hell of a lot.

Then take your wingtips off my
table and walk 'em out the door,

because this is my case, and you either
do it my way or you don't do it at all.

Mmm.

I love you.

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

(MUSIC PLAYING)

Louis, it's not
my birthday.

I know, but I know
that you weren't happy

with the position I put you in
regarding Harvey's compensation,

so I just wanted to make sure
that you and I were okay.

Actually, you wanna
know the truth?

Right at this second,
I'm not okay.

Then please tell me, what
can I do to make it okay?

You can start
by never putting me

in a position
like that again.

I won't.

Jack, I need to
talk to you.

Sure, Louis,
what can I do for you?

Well, you can consider me out
of your war with Harvey.

What are you
talking about?

I'm saying that
I don't like what I did,

and from now on, I don't
want anything to do with it.

Fine by me, Louis.

As far as I'm concerned,
I won my war with Harvey.

This is your office?

Why do you say it
like that?

Like what?
With disgust.

'Cause Harvey's got autographed
basketballs and vintage records,

and you've got a photograph
of a guy's shoes.

Well, you better be careful or
Sergeant Hulka with the big toe

is gonna see how far he
can stick it up your ass.

What the hell are
you talking about?

Stripes.

I'm just
quoting Stripes.

It's a movie. Harvey and
I do this all the time.

Look, I don't know what
Kind of teenage nonsense

you got going on with him,
but I don't do that shit.

Okay.

I'm going to visit
the facility.

Meet you down
in the lobby in 10.

I take it that means that
things went well with Jessica?

Yep, she signed off,
and all I had to do

was agree to treat you as
a full and equal partner.

Whoa, that must
have hurt.

Mmm, it didn't hurt a bit, 'cause
I didn't mean it with her,

and I'm not gonna
do it with you.

See you in 10.

Better make that 15.

Heard you're
looking for me.

I was, because I wanted
to give you this.

What's that? Directions to
Westchester Country Club.

Why are you
giving them to me?

Because I don't want you to be
late to your 11 :30 tee time

with Charles Barkley.

I'm playing golf with Charles Barkley?
(CHUCKLES)

If you get there
on time, you are.

If not, and he starts whacking
at shit with his big club,

he might kill someone. You'll
miss the whole thing. (CHUCKLES)

You think I don't know
what you're doing?

You're sucking up to me,
'cause all of a sudden,

you realized I'm someone
to be reckoned with.

That is what I'm doing.

But you're a big golfer
and a bigger Barkley fan,

and I thought we could use this
to get off to a fresh start.

Here's the problem,
Harvey.

I don't give a shit
about Charles Barkley,

and you don't give
a shit about me.

Listen to me. This is a gesture.
Take it.

I'm not gonna take it, and
I'm gonna tell you why.

Because you've never
treated me like a peer.

You've only ever treated
me like competition.

I'm trying very hard here.

Well, you can stop trying,
because I'm not interested.

Mr. Specter,
I swear he told me

he was a huge
Charles Barkley fan.

I'm sure he did, but the
problem is he lied,

and you should've
known it.

Whatever you're doing,
put it back.

I need you.
I can't.

What do you mean, you can't?
We're about to go to war.

I mean, I'm about
to go to war myself.

What the hell are
you talking about?

I'm taking a case
against Kelton Insurance.

I gotta go meet
the client right now.

Who the hell authorized that?
Jessica.

You went to Jessica
instead of me?

I didn't go to
anyone, all right?

She came to me
after I took it.

Well, I'm telling you, you're
gonna have to postpone it.

Harvey, this case
is important.

I'll tell you
what's important.

I got a partner at
this firm coming at me.

Well, I didn't know that
when I committed to this.

What the hell? I thought we
were meeting in the lobby.

You gotta be kidding me.
Your case is with him?

You're damn right
it's with me.

And we have a first
impression to make.

I don't know what kind of law
you're teaching around here,

but where I come from, you
show up on time. Let's go.

You wanna go? Go.

Jessica, what can I
do for you?

You came to me
for some legal advice.

Now I'm coming
to you for yours.

Do I get to charge
you for it?

You already do,
unless you suddenly

started paying for law school
out of your own pocket.

Free of charge it is.

I want you to
look this over

and tell me if we
have any exposure.

Okay, but this
isn't a deal.

This is a speech.
I'm aware of that,

but Gwen Barnes
is quite opinionated,

and I don't want her to say
something that might get her sued.

Dr. Gwendolyn Barnes?

Do you have
a problem with her?

No, not at all.
How much time do I have?

Take as long
as you want.

Just make sure whenever I
come back for it, it's done.

What are you doing in here?
I came to apologize.

You don't need
to apologize.

I was out of line. Soloff's an
asshole, and it wasn't your fault.

No, you were right.
It was my fault.

Well, what's done
is done.

If you don't mind,
I need to think right now.

I'm sorry, Mr. Specter, but
what's clone is not done.

What are you
talking about?

I told you,
I got your back.

What the hell is this?

It's the bio of that asshole's
third-biggest client.

And?
Look where he's from.

I appreciate you coming
all the way down here,

but the last time
you came to me,

you told me to sit tight,
and that was a week ago.

Emma, I don't understand.
What did you expect?

I expected you to understand what
it feels like to be left hanging.

Because if we can't
understand that,

what's to stop us from cutting and
running when things get tough?

And what is gonna
stop you?

MIKE: I know
what's gonna stop me.

First year, you think
about it every day.

You relive it.

Doesn't matter
what you do.

You can't get it
out of your head.

People tell you
it's part of God's plan.

Maybe they're right,
but it doesn't stop you

from wanting to punch them in the
face every time they say it.

Then time passes,

two, three years.

(SCOFFS) Maybe you even
start to feel normal.

Maybe you start
to believe that

maybe this thing
won't actually scar you

for the rest
of your life.

But then one day,
something reminds you.

A song or a smell.

And it touches that nerve,
and all of a sudden,

it's the day you got
that news all over again.

So you have gone through
something like this yourself?

I haven't just
gone through it.

It's the entire reason
that I became a lawyer.

And as far as it taking
as long as it did,

it took a while to work
out the particulars.

But I can assure you,

it's worth the wait,

because this right here,

this is an all-star team,
and we're playing for you.

Well...

Where do I sign?

All right, we got that taken care of.
Next step?

Set up a settlement
conference.

Got that right.

You mean, "You got
that right, partner."

What the hell are
you talking about?

You're the one
that said it yourself.

You and me, we're the all-star team.
(CHUCKLES)

I meant I was the all-star,
you're the team.

Oh, so I guess
in this case,

the team just hit
the game-winning jumper.

I got news for you, team,

the game hasn't
even started yet.

Mike, seriously,
back there,

about your childhood, I
didn't really get it before.

You got dealt a bad hand

and you pulled yourself up by your
bootstraps, and I respect that.

Thanks, Robert.

You can call me "Dad."
Really?

No.

Oh. So you know we're talking
about my father, right,

who's no longer alive?

Yeah, I forgot that.
You forgot that?

The basis of your compliment
in the first place?

ROBERT: You suck the fun out
of everything, don't you?

You did this quickly.

You gave me a job
to do, and I did it.

And why did you
leave it on my desk

instead of bringing
it to me directly?

I just wanted to give you
a chance to look it over.

And does that have something
to do with the fact

that I asked you to check it for
exposure and not rewrite it?

I know, I may have
overstepped my assignment.

It's just, Dr. Barnes is the first
black female chief of surgery

at a major
New York hospital.

She faced discrimination
at every turn,

and she still got
the job done,

so she doesn't need
soaring language to
communicate that.

I'll tell Dr. Barnes
you said that.

So you're accepting
my changes?

I'll present them to her
with my blessing.

We'll see
what she thinks.

Jessica, um...

If you ever have
a case with Dr. Barnes,

I would love to be
a part of it.

I have a better idea.

Why don't you come
to the speech with me?

That is exactly why we
need to figure out a way

to get you on the board
of directors of Comcast.

From your lips
to God's ears.

Jack, I'm sorry. Can I
speak to you for a second?

Uh, we're kind of in
the middle of something.

It'll only take a minute.
It's firm business.

I'm afraid
it's not optional.

I'm sorry to interrupt.

Harvey Specter, by the
way, of Pearson Specter.

This will only
take a second.

You think I don't know
what you're doing?

You're trying to
poach my client.

What makes you think
I'm trying to do that?

Please. "Harvey Specter
of Pearson Specter"?

Let me tell
you something,

guy's been my client
for 10 years.

He's not leaving me
for the likes of you.

Then I guess our
business here is done.

What the hell
is going on?

Nothing's going on.
You're free.

In fact,
I'll walk you back.

(CHUCKLES)
Oh, look at that.

Is that Charles Barkley
taking a selfie

with your loyal client who
happened to have grown up

in Philadelphia during
the Barkley era?

Look, you might not give
a shit about Charles,

but he sure as hell does.

You son of a bitch.

I'm sorry, Jack.
Could you repeat that?

I couldn't hear you over the
sound of me taking your client.

Then let me say it louder.
This isn't over.

It better be, because you've
got four other clients

from Chicago, Boston,
Los Angeles and Houston.

And you may not know who
those famous ballers are,

but I do.

Will, Jennifer, thank you for
seeing us on such short notice.

Well, you did serve
our client with a lawsuit.

Nevertheless, we have
an offer for you.

You've gotta
be kidding me.

You called us all the way
down here for this?

I wouldn't wipe
my ass with this.

Well, Robert, we don't
look at it that way.

How exactly do you
look at it, Will?

We look at it as a gift
to a couple of vultures

trying to pick the flesh off
the bones of an old case.

That is what every lawyer who
has had something to hide

has ever said.

And it doesn't change the fact that
your client killed 200 people.

Then we're gonna tell you what
we told the last attorney.

You go to trial, you'll
be buried in paperwork

for the next 10 years.

Well, if this were yesterday,
then we might be rattled by that.

But since then, new information
has come to light.

And what new
information is that?

This is a list of everyone
who works at my firm.

And this is a list of
everyone that works at mine.

You see, we're not
some solo practitioner

with a part-time paralegal
working out of a mall.

What my associate is getting at
is we're two huge law firms,

perfectly designed
to kick your ass.

I don't care how many
people work at your firms.

Someone needs
to pay their salaries.

And if you're working on
this, you're not doing that.

Then doesn't it
come in handy

to have $20 billion
hedgefund footing the bill?

So you can either add a bunch of
zeroes to this bullshit offer,

or we'll see you
in court.

Mind if I ask you
a question?

If it's about
using my connections

to get Stevie Wonder to play at
your wedding, I already tried.

Why didn't you tell me
about the hedge fund?

Well, what difference does it
make where we get our money from?

It doesn't make
a difference,

except for the fact
you didn't tell me.

What are you getting
so bent out of shape for?

We landed a punch
back there.

We landed a punch,
or you did?

What's that
supposed to mean?

First you call me "associate"
in front of opposing counsel,

and now I find out you're
Keeping things from me.

Look“. I'm just saying,
are we a team or not?

I called you what
I called you in there

because they want to see
someone in charge.

And looking at
the two of us,

they're gonna
think it's me.

And I didn't think about
telling you about Arcadian

because I came up with that
when you weren't there.

MIKE: For the record,
I had the same idea.

I went to a hedge fund
before I even came to you.

Well, congratulations. If you had
closed them like I closed my guys,

I wouldn't be standing
here explaining myself.

So let's talk when we hear
back from these clowns.

And put a smile
on your face.

You kicked ass in there.

(DOOR OPENS)

Jack, what can
I do for you?

You can get your
dog on a leash.

Excuse me?

Harvey just stole
one of my clients.

I want him back.

Do you have proof?

Yeah, he orchestrated some bullshit
run-in with Charles Barkley,

and miraculously, my client,
he needs to make a change.

Well, that's not proof.

I don't need proof.
I know what the hell he did.

Just like I know
what you and Louis did

to pass your
compensation resolution.

And if I had proof of that, we
wouldn't be having this conversation.

We'd be having
your exit interview.

You gonna sling
accusations at me,

or you gonna get your
dog Harvey under control?

'Cause if you
can't control him,

maybe you shouldn't be
in control of this firm.

Control him? Let me tell
you something, Jack.

When you went after Harvey,
you went after me,

which is why I'm the one that sent
him after you in the first place.

And I just put more money in
every other partner's pocket,

which means you better
listen to me when I talk.

There's only so many times
you can pull some shady shit

to get something done
with the partners.

So you want
to take me on?

I'm right here.

(DOOR OPENS)

RACHEL: Hey.

Hey.

What are you working on?

The Kelton case.

Huh!

I've been meaning
to ask you,

how is it going
with my dad?

It's fine.

It's, uh...
It's going fine.

Mmm-hmm, it's fine.

I know what
"it's fine" means.

"It's fine" means
it's not fine,

and you're realizing that I
was right and you were wrong,

and he is a giant
pain in the ass.

Rachel, I never said there
wouldn't be arguments.

I just said ultimately
they'd bring us closer.

I know, you did.

I'm not trying
to cause trouble.

I was just trying to be
charming and delightful.

Thanks.
Mmm-hmm.

(SIGHS) It's just...

It's important to me
that your dad respects me.

If there is one thing
that I am certain of,

it's that my father
respects you.

Okay?

CHARLES: Harvey,
you were right.

That's one of the best
steaks I ever had.

How about you tell me why you
actually brought me here?

Can't a man just take
his client out to dinner?

A man can,
but you need something,

and I just did you
that little favor.

That wasn't a favor.

I took 15 minutes of pictures with
some dipshit from Philadelphia.

That's not a favor?

That was an appetizer.
I need you to get Magic,

Bird, Hakeem and Michael
to do the same thing.

Hey, you're a funny guy.
You're kidding, right?

Did I ask you if you
were kidding me

when you called
me that night?

You asked me to sign
with you, and I did.

And I also said that I would
need something from you someday,

and taking selfies with
some dipshit Sixers fan

isn't gonna cut it.

Harvey, you need to chill
with this Soloff thing.

If not, every single day
you go into the office,

he's gonna be trying
to stab you in the back.

I'm not here to get
your advice, Charles.

I'm here to get you
to help me.

I'm not getting the Dream
Team back together.

It can happen
if you make it happen.

It's not gonna happen.

And the Harvey I know would
never ask me to do it.

Listen, leave a big tip.

People think
I'm paying for the meal.

Put down whatever you're doing.
We need to talk.

You're talking
to a name partner,

so I suggest you do it
with a little respect.

I'm showing respect
by coming to you

to hit Harvey
where it hurts.

I told you, I don't want anything
to do with your war with Harvey.

You already have
something to do with it.

And you said you didn't
care if I backed out.

I don't give a shit
what I said.

You picked a side.
There's no going back.

Absolutely not. I'm not doing it.
This is way too far, Jack.

No, it's what we should have
clone in the first place.

Well, you know,
it doesn't even matter,

because you can't introduce
a resolution like this,

'cause it violates
the bylaws.

Then you need to do
some underhanded shit

to make it un-violate
the bylaws.

And I already told you that I'm not
doing anything like that again.

Too bad, because
you did it once.

And if you don't want me telling
anybody about it, you'll do it again.

Good morning, Louis.

Well, looks like you've been busy.
I have.

Here's the Crenshaw depo,

and this is
the Kirsch itinerary,

and here's your music box.

WhY are you giving
my gift back?

Because it was a gift
you gave me with a promise

never to put me in
a position like that again.

And I haven't.
But you will.

And don't tell me you won't,
because I overheard

your little scheme
with Jack Soloff.

Then you obviously heard
me tell him to go to hell.

No, Louis,
I heard him tell you

that you're in this war
whether you like it or not.

And then he walked
out that door,

and you didn't say
a damn thing.

I swear I'm gonna
keep my promise.

I am not going
after Harvey.

You think this is about
me protecting Harvey?

This is about me
protecting me.

What are you talking about?
Harvey came to me the other night

to get me to admit
that I knew what you did.

He came to you?
In my home.

And I had to stand there and lose my
integrity in front of him for you.

Oh, my God,
he's really doing it.

Doing what?

After the
compensation vote,

Harvey and I
got into a fight,

and I told him that
I'd just taken away

the one thing
he values most,

his money.

He then tells me
that he's gonna come

after the one thing
that I value most.

Me.
Yes.

Told me that one clay I
would come to this office,

you'd be gone,

and I'd know that it was him
who took you away from me.

He said he was gonna
take me away?

Listen to me.

I swear I will never
do that to you again.

But please
do not leave me.

I'm not leaving you, Louis.

ROBERT: You get this?

Sure did.
Motion to dismiss.

Yeah. You know what
this means, right?

We got 'em on the ropes.
They're scared.

Which is why
I scheduled a hearing

with Judge Hernandez
for tomorrow morning.

She's gonna dismiss
this bullshit,

and I'm gonna get her
to move straight to trial.

Uh, Robert,
that's a bad idea.

What are you talking about?
They throw a jab,

we answer with
a right cross.

Yes, if we go to trial now,
we get a decision,

but if we go in three
months, we get a knockout.

What the hell are
you talking about?

There's a bill on the governor's
desk waiting to be passed.

It lifts the cap
on punitive damages.

There's a reason
he hasn't signed it yet.

The AMA is up his ass.

We go now.

The CEO of Kelton
Insurance's contract is up.

He doesn't want
to be renegotiating

while he's on the
front page of the Journal

being accused
of killing people.

That threat takes these people
from $1,000 per person to 5,000,

but if we actually
go to trial...

If we go to trial,
we may get nothing.

And I'm finished having
this conversation.

So now I see where we stand.
We're not partners.

I'm just the associate. You're
the one calling the shots.

I thought I made that clear from
the second we started this thing.

Now answer this motion,
get my motion done,

and be in court
tomorrow morning,

because this is gonna happen
whether you like it or not.

Oh, what the hell?
What the hell what?

You spilled my coffee.
You ran into me.

I don't care
who ran into who.

This is my office. How about
a little "excuse me"?

Oh, okay, Harvey.
Excuse me.

Feel free to send me
the bill for dry cleaning.

I'm paying for everything
else around here.

Donna, now is not a good time.
I don't care.

I'm not a prize to be used
to get revenge on Louis.

What the hell are
you talking about?

Are you gonna deny
you told him

that you were gonna
take rne back?

That is not what I said.
No, do not lawyer me,

because it may not be
exactly what you said,

but don't try to tell me
it wasn't what you meant.

Donna...
And another thing,

what makes you think if I were ever
to leave Louis that I would ever,

ever come back to you?

Mr. Specter,
I know this is a bad time,

but I have to
remind you that...

I know!
Jessica wants to see me.

Donna, hey, can I talk
to you for a second?

It's actually not a good
time right this second.

It's important.

I just need to know if Harvey is
still tight with Judge Hernandez.

Why?

I need her to postpone
a hearing for me.

You know what, Mike? If you
want something from Harvey,

you're gonna have
to ask him yourself.

You wanted to see me?

That was 12 hours ago.

I was putting
some things in order.

What things in order, stealing
more of Jack Soloffs clients?

As a matter of fact, yes.

God damn it, Harvey.

Jessica, I went in there. I tried
to make peace. He spat in my face.

I tried again.
He did it again.

And I said,
"Enough is enough."

Then you walk out the door.
You don't steal his clients.

You know what?
This doesn't concern you.

This is between
me and Jack.

Oh, it was between you and
Jack until he came to me,

and I had to
cover for you.

You covered for me?
Goddamn right I did.

I told him sending you after him
was my idea in the first place.

That's not
covering for me.

That's covering for you,

because that should have been
your idea in the first place,

instead of welcoming
every competitor we have

into our offices
behind my back.

What the hell are
you talking about?

I'm talking
about Robert Zane

and you bringing him in
here without consulting me.

I didn’t bring in shit.

Mike Ross brought
Zane in without asking,

and I had to pretend to be
on board with that, too.

And now you're hoping this leads
to what you always wanted.

This thing's over,
Zane goes,

and Mike heads
out the door with him.

That's enough.

You need to get yourself
under control right now.

What the hell
are you talking about?

I'm talking about
you have a problem,

and it doesn't have
anything to do with me.

And you just expose it by bringing
up some paranoid bullshit

about Mike Ross
going with Robert Zane.

Because this all started
when Donna left you,

and now you're afraid that Mike's
going to do the same thing.

So you better get your abandonment
issues under control,

because Jack Soloff
is gonna keep coming,

and now you're gonna
have to put him down.

(AMPLIFIED HEARTBEATS)

(DISTORTED) Mr. Specter, Mike Ross
is waiting for you in your office.

MIKE: Hey, I need
to talk to you.

Not now.

I know you're mad from before, but
I need a favor. I said not now.

Harvey, what's
going on with you?

Nothing's wrong.
I need a glass of water.

What the hell
is going on?

(HEART BEATING)

Okay, I'm dialing 911.

No, you're not.
Yes, I am.

You could be having
a heart attack.

It's not a heart attack.
You don't know that.

It's a panic attack.

Oh, hate to interrupt
a special moment,

but thought you might wanna
take a gander at this.

What the hell is that?

If you recall,
our last proposal

reduced contingent
compensation.

This one wipes it
out altogether.

What's the matter?
No snappy comeback?

I've read the bylaws.
You can't do that.

You doing his fighting
for him now?

I don't care what the bylaws say.
I have Louis's backing.

So either you
give back my client,

or good luck billing 2,500 hours
a year like the rest of us.

HARVEY: You go right ahead and
put your proposal to a vote.

But by the time
this thing passes,

I'll have your
other four clients.

Bullshit, you couldn't have
gotten to them already.

Go goddamn check.
They're already in play.

You pass this thing, you won't
be billing anything at all.

You're not gonna
get away with that.

Wrong. I didn't start this.
But I'm gonna finish it.

And when you said I only ever
looked at you as competition,

you were wrong.

I never looked at you
as anything at all.

Are you all right?

No.

Is it true what you just
said about his clients?

No, which is why I need you
to do anything you have to do

to convince him
this is happening.

I'll get it done.

(KNOCKING)

What are you
doing here?

This is my home.
It's also your office.

And that entrance
is right around there.

Now if you'll excuse me, I'm
in the middle of my dinner.

I called to set an appointment.
You didn't call back.

Because I had patients.

And what the hell am I?

You're an ex-patient
I haven't seen in weeks,

who ignored me when I said that
your panic attacks wouldn't stop

until you accepted the fact that
your secretary wasn't coming back.

I did accept it, and I
had another one anyway.

That's why I'm here.

You mean you're here
to get more pills.

Yes, I am.

And what happened
to the ones I gave you?

I threw them out.

Bullshit, you didn't throw them out.
You ran out.

No, I didn't run out.
I'm telling you the truth.

Okay, well,
it doesn't matter,

because I'm a psychiatrist,
not a pharmacy,

and if you want my help,
you do it my way.

You make regular
appointments,

and you commit
to doing the work.

And you show up at my house unannounced
again, I'm calling the police.

Do you have any time available
10 minutes from now?

I want to give you time
to finish your dinner.

Is the car ready?

It's downstairs
warming up, like you.

What do you mean?

Well, I received
the invitation

and couldn't help
but notice

that Dr. Barnes
is in the program,

and you're in
the program, too.

Look at that, I am.

Why didn't you tell me
it was your speech?

I wanted your
honest opinion.

But you didn't
ask my opinion.

You asked me to check it
for exposure.

If there's one thing
I've noticed about you,

it's that you give
your opinion

whether it's
asked for or not.

And why does my opinion
matter to you so much

that you would
go through all this?

Your opinion
doesn't matter to me.

Your development does.

What are you saying?

Oh, you're gonna
make me say it out loud?

You remind me of me.

And what do I have to do
to get to be like you?

Well, you should know.

You read my
damn speech.

You mean I rewrote
your damn speech.

Oh, shit, I said it.

I'm going to
show you mercy,

considering your
dress choice.

What's wrong with my dress?
Oh, you don't know.

Come on, this is really special.
(CHUCKLING)

DR. AGARD:
You wanna know the truth?

I think you bottled up your anger
at Donna, let it out at Louis,

and then when it came back at
you, you pushed it down again.

That's bullshit. The clinical
term is displacement,

and the cure for it is letting
your anger at Donna out.

Well, I'm not
gonna do that,

because even if I would,
Donna's not here.

No, I didn't say you had
to let it out at Donna.

You can let it
out at me.

That's stupid.
No, it isn't.

If she were here
right now,

what's the first thing
that comes to your mind?

Hey, Donna,
what are you doing here?

What if I said,
"I'm here for you"?

I'd say, "Shouldn't you
be at Louis's desk?"

And what if I were?

How would that
make you feel?

It would make me feel like
role-play is stupid,

because you're not Donna, and I don't
give a shit what your degree says.

I'm not gonna go through this
again just to get more pills.

Well, I may not be Donna, but I'm beginning
to see what it's like to be her.

What the hell are
you talking about?

I'm talking about
I'm a woman

who you've been bullying
to get what you want.

Bullying? I'm paying you.

And that doesn't mean that I
exist to serve your needs.

Well, it goddamn should.

If you spoke to Donna that
way, no wonder she left you.

Because you don't just
pay people to be loyal.

How dare you?

I don't give a shit about
the money, and I never did.

No, you didn't.

It was just a way to get
me to do what you wanted.

So when your life
was on the line

and I was there for you
every step of the way,

it meant nothing? lt wasn't
every step of the way.

You bailed out
the second I wanted more.

That's when you
decided to betray me.

How the hell is moving on and
putting myself first betraying you?

Because you went to Louis to do
it, and that's not moving on.

That's sticking a knife
in my gut and twisting it.

Yeah, Harvey, it is.

How does it feel to be on
the receiving end for once?

Harvey,
did you hear me?

I said, how does it
feel to know that

you've taken the first step
towards regaining control?

When someone twists
a knife in your gut,

I feel like I want
to twist one right back.

Mr. Zane, you scheduled
this hearing.

We've been waiting 10 minutes
and I'm not waiting any longer.

Uh, you don't have to, Your Honor.
My motion is here.

JUDGE:
lt better get up here fast.

Where the hell were you?

I'm standing up here
with my dick in my hand,

and you're out
having a soda.

I had something to do.

Yeah, well,
whatever it was,

I hope it was worth almost
losing this case over.

Motion to expedite trial.

I thought this was a hearing
on their motion to dismiss.

Well, if you expedite
our trial,

that takes care of their
motion to dismiss.

Your Honor, they just got
this case two days ago.

They're using the timing of our
client's contract expiration

to try to
shake us down.

I have to say, Mr. Zane,
I find it hard to believe

that in two days,
you've found out enough

to know you need
an expedited trial,

let alone care about
these people at all.

Your Honor,
four years ago,

a mail carrier named
Stanley Powell

felt tightness
in his chest.

He, uh... He thought
it was nothing,

but his wife insisted
he go to the hospital.

When he got there, doctors
couldn't find anything wrong,

but they wanted to keep
him for one extra day.

Now, unfortunately, Kelton
Insurance refused to pay.

So Mr. Powell went home,
crawled into bed,

and one day later,
he was dead.

In front of you,
you have a complaint

that's over
5,000 pages long,

which tells the stories
of another 189 victims.

Pick a page at random,
tell me the number,

and I will tell you exactly
what their client did to them.

Your Honor, are you
actually buying that?

Page 627, Mr...

Lawrence Green.
63-year-old grandfather,

admitted to St. Vincent with
complaints of lower back pain

and excessive
weight loss.

He thought it was stress.
Turns out it was lymphoma.

Only they didn't find out
until it was too late

because their client
refused to pay for the MRI.

So please, rule against
us if you have to,

but don't tell me
we don't care.

Motion for expedited
trial granted.

Jury selection starts Monday.
(GAVEL BANGS)

For your information,
that's what I was doing.

And it only took
as long as it did

because I was also doing
something for the one person

who has the right to treat
me like his associate,

but treats me like
his partner anyway.

Well, if you can
forgive me,

what do you say I take
my partner out to lunch?

Mr. Specter... Gretchen, whatever
it is, it can wait till tomorrow.

I'm afraid
this can't wait.

This is your resume.

I wanted to explain the two-year
gap in my employment history.

You don't have to do that.
My husband passed away.

My children were grown.

I had no purpose,
I felt alone,

and I started
having panic attacks.

And why would I
need to know that?

Because I don't
have them anymore.

Good night, Gretchen.

What was that all about?

Getting to know
my new secretary.

Did you come by just to brag
about helping me with Jack?

I take it that means
he backed down.

Like Roberto Duran
against Sugar Ray.

No ma's.
Seriously...

You okay?
Yeah, I'm fine. Thanks.

Want to get a bite
or something?

Sure.

I got to warn you,
my stomach's still full

from my lunch
with Robert Zane.

Oh, we're lunching
now, are we?

Why, you jealous?

No, I just thought you
guys were working a case,

not picnicking
in a park.

Let me tell you,
it was no picnic.

You ever try to go
toe-to-toe with that guy

over all-you-can-eat
shrimp?

BOTH". No més.

Hey, give me
a few minutes.

I gotta take care
of something.

You ever take sides with Jack
Soloff against me again,

I will bury you.
