Suits (2011–…): Season 5, Episode 4 - No Puedo Hacerlo - full transcript

HARVEY: Previously on Suits...

You took this case
without running it by me.

Jessica... That's enough.
Dump it.

Or I will.

You think this case is a winner?
I do.

Then what do you say
we do it together?

RACHEL: I'm afraid you're going
to end up hating each other.

If I'm lucky, I'm going to fight
with him about a lot of things.

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

This is Harvey's last
three income statements,

and I found them sitting
in the copy machine.



You came to work for me.

You knew who I was
when you did.

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

You always said
once you pick a side,

if you're not loyal to that side,
then who the hell are you?

You should have thought of
that before you picked someone

who would do something like
this in the first place.

You ever take sides with Jack Soloff
against me again, I will bury you.

(ELEVATOR BELL DINGS)

Well, you look happy.

Did Becky just tell Susie
she like-likes you?

No, more like Kelton Insurance
just told Robert Zane

they're
scared-scared of us.

You got a settlement offer.
Just like he said we would.



I got to hand it to him,
he played them perfectly.

Did he now?

What?
Nothing.

Look, I take it back
about Becky.

The only one with a crush
around here is you.

Sounds like someone's
worried that Robert Zane

might be better than him.
Yeah, nice try, tiger.

But did Magic ever
worry about Bird?

First of all,
yes, he did.

Second of all, you realize you're the
white guy in this scenario, right?

I know I'm the bigger
badass in every scenario.

Okay, Mr. Badass,
then which one are you?

Magic or Bird?

I think we both know I'm Jordan.
Jordan.

Hey. Why don't you go meet
your boyfriend, Robert Zane?

I think I just left
something at security.

Oh. Look who
like-likes someone now.

Ma'am, the last time I let someone
up that he wasn't expecting,

he threatened
to have me executed.

I'm sure he did,
but I'm telling you that...

That Gretchen obviously
forgot to phone down, Carl.

Because we have a meeting
scheduled for right now.

That isn't what
she just...
Carl.

A meeting with you.

Really? I promise I'm
much better looking

than whoever you were
supposed to meet.

You have no idea
how right you are.

But I could have sworn you
were just on your way out.

Oh, that's not a problem.
The mayor can wait.

But I'm not sure
the governor can.

Are you trying to
out-name-drop me?

If I were,
I think I just did.

But I'll let you in
on a little secret.

I don't really care
about names that much.

Well, if you don't care about names,
why don't we skip the introductions

and just get down
to breakfast?

What if I already
had breakfast?

Oh, I'm talking about
tomorrow morning.

In my kitchen.

Or yours. I mean, you look
like you have a nice place.

As tempting as that is,

maybe another time.

Good luck in your meeting.

So, how is my favorite
pain-in-the-ass lawyer?

I thought Louis was your
favorite pain-in-the-ass lawyer.

He is.

But Louis isn't responsible for
me getting to work on this.

You're doing the grunt
work on our case?

I pulled some strings. Thought it might
give us a chance to work together.

You know
I'm engaged, right?

Yes, Mike,
that's my plan.

To steal you
from my boss' daughter.

It's a thing.
It's been done.

Well, I didn't
come here to steal you.

I came here
to thank you.

For what?
Come on, Mike.

I get fired,
and two days later,

I get an offer from
Rachel's father?

Whatever you did,
I owe you one.

Actually,
you owe Rachel one.

No shit.
Shit.

BOTH: Shit.

(CHUCKLES)

By the way, you're in the
wrong conference room.

Okay, Esther, what are
you doing here? What?

A woman can't stop by to see
her brother who she loves?

Please. You know damn well
we don't love each other.

In that case,

I need a lawyer.

(SCOFFS) You?
For what?

Did you give someone salmonella
with your stupid muffins?

I'm getting a divorce.

Well, good.

I knew that guy was dead
weight the second I met him.

I know, I think that was
your speech at our wedding.

And your sympathy
is touching,

but I didn't come here
to vindicate you.

No, I know you didn't.

You came to get me to slaughter
Jeffrey for you, and I will.

When I'm done with him, he
won't have a pot to shit in.

It's piss in.

And Louis, I don't want you
to slaughter Jeffrey.

Why the hell not? Because
I want Harvey Specter to.

Come again? You said he was the
best attorney in the city.

No, Esther, I told you
he was my best friend.

Which is exactly
what you said about

Jeremy Henschell
in tenth grade,

which really meant you
worshipped him from afar,

you wrote in your diary
about him,

and you never
actually hung out.

Okay, you swore
you never read my diary.

And you swore you didn't
spy on me and Jeremy.

Oh, please,
that was one time.

I was on my way
to get a glass of milk.

And for your information, I've been
lactose intolerant ever since.

Louis, are you going to get me Harvey
or do I have to get him myself?

Harvey is not taking on
any new clients right now,

and he's out of town
for the next few years.

Louis, I know
what you're doing.

You think I want Harvey because I
don't think you're good enough.

You're wrong.

I know
how good you are.

But this is
personal for me,

which means it will be personal
for you, and I can't have that.

So, please,
will you get me Harvey?

I'll make it happen.

Thank you, Louis.

That was Esther?

Yes, I know what you're going to say.
We look exactly alike.

That actually wasn't...
I get it.

It's like looking
at me in a wig.

I've heard it
a thousand times.

Yeah, the resemblance
is uncanny.

What?

I'm just wondering why you're not
getting up to go ask Harvey.

Because I'm not
going to ask him.

I'm gonna save some time
and tell her he said no.

Louis. Donna, we all know
that Harvey's furious at me.

There's no way
he's going to do it.

Maybe not.

But Louis, she's family.

And if there's one thing that
Harvey understands, it's that.

ROBERT: Where the
hell have you been?

Sorry, I got stuck
in really bad traffic.

So you were
in the wrong conference room.

For about 20 minutes.

So...

What did we get?
Want to take a guess?

Ninety million.
Want to take a real guess?

That was a real guess.

Son, what planet
are you living on?

The planet where you called to
say we got a great settlement.

Twenty five million
is a great settlement.

Twenty five million?

Robert, after fees,
that's less than
$70,000 per person.

(CHUCKLES) Then, what do you
suggest we counter with?

I suggest we counter
with a trial.

Are you nuts?
You don't go to trial.

You turn up the pressure,
and then you settle.

Going to trial is turning
up the pressure.

The second we finish
opening arguments,

that offer is
going to triple.

Look, I've sat across
the table from these two

four times
in the last six years,

and when they say
this is their best offer,

it's their best offer,
and we're recommending it.

Well, you can recommend
whatever you want.

I'm recommending
we reject it.

You don't give clients
conflicting opinions.

You work it out
behind closed doors.

Well, maybe
that's the problem.

You want to do things
behind closed doors.

I actually want
to be honest.

Hey, watch yourself, Mike.
You tell me this,

would $70,000 per person
be a great settlement

if we were talking about
Laura's life or Rachel's?

You get out of here!

You don't come back
until you wrap your head

around recommending
this offer.

And don't you ever
use them against me again!

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

Don't tell me
he wasn't in here either.

He was in here,
all right.

What happened? Did the
settlement fall through?

No, it didn't,
but it should have.

They gave us
a shitty offer.

Robert's ready to take it.

Come on, if it's really that
bad, why would he take it?

Because he knows his clients
will jump all over it

and it's the easy way out.

So you think Robert doesn't
care about his clients.

It sure seems that way.
Mike...

I've only been here
a few months,

and there are a lot of things
you can say about Robert Zane,

but what you can't say is that he
doesn't care about his clients.

Go away, Louis.

I would, but then
I couldn't tell you

about the $50-million
company I'm giving you.

And why would
you do that?

Because I want to make up for
our little misunderstanding.

We didn't have
a misunderstanding.

You went after
my money.

So, if you're
giving me a client,

there's some other
misunderstanding

that you're too chicken shit
to tell me about.

It's my sister's company.

I'll give you
her business.

All you have to do
is handle her divorce.

I don't want
your sister's business.

Now get out.

Harvey, this is my family.

My sister, she...

Has never asked me for
anything her entire life,

not once.

Now, the one time she does,
I just can't let her down.

Louis, I'm not
a divorce attorney.

When has a shitty little detail
like that ever stopped you before?

All right, I'll do it,
on two conditions.

First, you stay completely
out of this case.

Done. Second?

I'll let you know
when I think of it.

How do I know it won't be
something I can't stomach?

You don't, but those
are my two conditions.

Okay, Harvey.
You have a deal.

One thing.

Promise me you won't
sleep with Esther.

Believe me, Louis, the last thing I
want to do is sleep with your sister.

(DOOR OPENS)
ROBERT: I'm glad you agree.

I'll let you know when
the paperwork's finished.

(DOOR CLOSES)

I know you didn't wrap your head around
this deal in the last 10 minutes.

So what are you still
doing in my office?

Exactly what you'd be
doing in my place.

Robert, I know you said that
you know these two lawyers,

but I don't.

I need to see for myself
what they will or won't do.

And you still
want to counter.

I want to at least try.

Except you don't want
to go by yourself,

you want me to go with you.

Yes, I do.

Because you and I both know if we don't
go together, we don't stand a chance.

I know we don't stand
a chance either way.

And if I do go, it makes
me look like a fool.

Robert, I saved you from looking
like a fool in that courtroom.

I came through for you.

Now, I'm asking you to come
through for me on this.

You and Rachel
are peas in a pod.

(CHUCKLES)

I can't believe she's
really worth 50 million.

I can't believe you've never
heard of her company.

Do I look like
I buy a lot of
pot-holders?

She doesn't just
sell pot-holders.

She has a brand
like Martha Stewart.

Look, I get that you think
she's impressive,

but to me,
she's just Louis's sister,

which, as far as I'm concerned,
is strike number two.

What's strike number one?

The fact that
she's Louis' sister.

Oh, come on.
Harvey, listen.

Are you going to take
this seriously or not?

I'll tell you what
I'm going to do.

I'm going to walk in there, I'm going
to shake this woman's meaty hand,

and I'm going to get this over
with as quickly as possible.

(CHUCKLES)

You've got to be kidding me.
You?

You two know
each other?

So you weren't
meeting the governor.

You're telling me you were really
going to blow off the mayor?

The mayor? You don't
know the mayor.

I'm so sorry.

Let me introduce my
soon-to-be former associate.

Rachel Zane.
Esther Edelstein.

It's nice to finally meet the man
I've heard such good things about.

It's nice to meet the woman I've
obviously heard nothing but lies about.

Let's get to it.
Yes.

I just have to know.

Were one of the two
of you adopted?

I've been asking that
for years.

Hey! Get out.

Shit.

Come on, speak up, narcissist,
it's not a freakin' library.

(BEEPS)

Reminder, to thin the walls
in the conference room,

slash, make a peephole.

What do you think you're doing?
What happened?

Oh, I was just checking
the sound-proofing.

Making sure they thicken the
walls in the conference room.

So if I walk out this door
and I turn to the right,

I won't see Harvey
in there with Esther?

Esther's here? I didn't know that.
Louis.

Listening
through the wall

is not staying
out of her case,

and if Harvey finds out,
he's gonna drop her.

Okay, look,
it's my sister.

All right? I just want to make
sure he does right by her.

And you never would have
asked him to take this case

if you didn't trust that
he would do just that.

So, put the glass down, go back to
your office, and let him do his job.

You know, it would be
easier for both of us

if you were wrong
every once in a while.

ESTHER: When we decided
to get divorced,

Jeffrey and I agreed he would
get 20 percent of the company.

No need to involve lawyers.

The next thing I knew,

I got a letter
from a lawyer.

Jeffrey doesn't think
20 percent is enough anymore.

No, he doesn't.

HARVEY: Esther, I'm going
to ask you a question

and I want you
to answer me honestly.

Who's leaving who?

It's mutual.
It's never mutual.

So, I'm going
to ask you again.

Who's driving
this decision?

l am.

Then the answer to our problem is for
you to stay away from the negotiations.

What?

No. I'm not staying away.
Listen to me.

He's going back
on your deal

because he wants to prolong the fight.
I don't care.

I spent 12 years
building the company.

I'm not going to sit back
and let someone else decide

how much I'm allowed
to keep.

Then what'd you
come to me for?

Because you're supposed to be the best.
I am the best.

And I didn't get that way letting
someone else call the shots.

So, you're either going
to let me do that,

or you're going to
get yourself another lawyer.

All right, here's what
I need you to do.

You can tell me what you
need me to do in a minute.

First, we're going to talk about
what happened back there.

What happened is,
I laid down the law,
she accepted, I'm the man.

Yep. Uh-huh.

Okay, I'm not
talking about that.

I'm talking about how the moment
you walked through the door,

you looked like you were
struck by a bolt of lightning.

I did not.
You most certainly did.

In fact, before you
started fighting,

I was afraid the two of you were
going to go at it on the table.

Afraid or hoping?
That's unsavory.

And you making lewd comments
about our client isn't?

Lewd comments
about what client?

Harvey likes Louis' sister.
That's funny,

because that's exactly what I came
in here to talk to him about.

You like Louis' sister?

Not enough
to fight you for her.

Well, you should reconsider.
She's lovely.

And I'm leaving.

Harvey.

Why are you
all of a sudden

taking on Esther
Edelstein as a client?

And don't tell me
it's because she's lovely,

because I'm not sure
I believe that.

I took her on because
Louis asked me to.

And the last I heard,

you and I were
both pissed at him.

And I still am.

But he told me
this was family, and...

I thought this might be a chance
for us all to get back on track.

I like that, Harvey.

You just might turn out to be a
half decent name partner after all.

I doubt it.
So do I.

Well, frankly, Robert, I'm surprised
you called for another meeting.

You're surprised
by a routine counter?

When the first offer is as
generous as ours, I am.

Just hear
the man out, Will.

Campbell V State Health
Wilson V Gen-R-X.

Friedman V MedFirst.

Those are identical class actions
in which the average pay-out

was half a million dollars
per plaintiff.

They were jury awards,

and two of them were reduced for
being excessively punitive.

The dollar amount was still
higher than what's on the table.

WILL: After seven years
of appeals.

Yeah, and like we said,
we don't care how long
it takes.

We want triple
what you're offering.

And I want to skinny dip
with Sofia Vergara,

but no puedo hacerlo.

That's Spanish for we're not
giving you another nickel.

And what's Spanish for
"We'll see you in court?"

Bring it on.
ROBERT: That's enough.

Come on, Will. We're just
having a conversation.

WILL: Conversation?

Now, I gave you a fair offer,
Robert, because I respect you.

And I thought that you respected
me enough to know that I meant it

when I said it's the
best I could do.

Then he comes in here
threatening a trial.

Well, you know what?

You don't like
what's on the table,

we can pull
the whole damn thing.

ROBERT: I told you
he wasn't messing around.

You were right about that,

and now I'm right about
taking this to trial.

You're not right
about anything.

I owed you, I paid
up, we're done.

No, we're not done, and I'm still not
recommending this offer to my clients.

Well, that's too bad, because
they already signed off.

What?

You talked to our clients
before we even went in there?

You're damn right I did.

You took a shot,
and it didn't work.

Now, in the meantime,
we had an obligation

to show their offer
to our clients, and I did.

Don't give me some
bullshit justification.

You went behind my back.

I didn't go
behind your back.

I went over your head.

What the hell
are you talking about?

You know what the hell
I'm talking about.

I went to your boss' boss.

And you know what? She and
I see things the same way.

And as far as I'm concerned,
this case is settled.

Why don't you two have a seat?
I suggest we get right to it.

Wait a second.
Where's Esther?

She won't be joining us.

But I've been authorized
to negotiate on her behalf.

No.

No, I'm not agreeing to
anything without her here.

That's because you don't
really want to negotiate,

you just want
to stay connected to her,

and that's not
going to happen.

I don't know when you decided
to become a divorce attorney,

but that's not
how it works.

I didn't become
a divorce attorney

because it's the
minor leagues,

but this is how
it works with me.

What the hell is this? That's
our new offer. Nothing.

This is bullshit. You thinking
you deserve even 20 percent

of our client's business
is bullshit.

So, you're either going to accept the
terms that you and Esther agreed to,

or you can take
our new offer.

You can threaten
all you want,

but my client has
a right to what's his.

And that's half
the company,

because 1 2 years ago, that's
what your client agreed to.

See, I wasn't just going
to be Esther's husband.

I was gonna be a doctor,
but I put that on hold

while Esther got her company
off the ground,

and when I said
I was willing to do that,

she said I'd get half.

Which constitutes an
enforceable verbal contract.

JEFFREY: So, I don't care
whether Esther's here or not.

She promised to spend
our lives together,

and she's breaking
that promise.

There's nothing I can do
about that one,

but I'm sure as hell gonna
hold her to the other one.

You have no proof
she ever made that promise.

Ask your client about it, because
when we depose her under oath,

you can rest assured we will.

You authorized
the settlement?

You want to change that tone?
No, I don't.

Because you told Robert Zane
to treat me like a partner,

and then you turned around
and you cut my legs out.

I told him that because
you were my proxy,

but you're not
my proxy with me.

And I don't appreciate
my decisions being questioned.

Did you even look
at that offer?

Mike, I'm going to
explain something to you,

that based on your approach to this
conversation, you clearly don't understand.

This trial
will cost millions.

And Arcadian has
deep pockets.

And they're not looking
to empty them on a gamble.

So this is all
just about the money.

Were you born yesterday?

The clients are looking
for money.

We're looking for money.

The insurance company
is looking to keep money.

It's always
about the money.

And if you had some balls,
we'd get a whole lot more.

Listen to me.

I don't know what you thought marching in
here was going to do other than piss me off,

but you're going to march
the hell back out

because I have better things
to do with my time

than to explain to you
how the world works.

(SCOFFS)

ESTHER: Hey,
I got your message.

Jeffrey signed
the agreement?

He did.

All it needs
is your John Hancock.

(SIGHS)

Wait, this doesn't say 20 percent.
It says 50 percent.

Oh, I'm sorry.

Did I forget to mention that he said you
promised him 50 percent of your company

for putting off
medical school?

Because you sure forgot
to mention that to rne.

(CHUCKLES)

You have got to be
kidding me.

How could you not
tell me that?

Because it was
a throwaway conversation

we had 12 years ago
on the New Jersey Turnpike.

Well, it wasn't
throwaway to him,

and he's going to use it
because he's feeling betrayed.

Well, I don't really
care what he's feeling

because he's the one
who had the affair.

You wanted to know the
circumstances of our divorce.

Well, that's what they are.

That's why
I'm leaving him.

lam sure you wouldn't understand what's
it like to experience infidelity.

I would, and I do,

but that doesn't change the
fact that you made a contract.

What about our other contract?
Twenty percent.

The original agreement
supersedes it,

and an affair
doesn't change that.

Except he doesn't have any proof I
ever made the original agreement.

Esther, they're going
to put you under oath

and ask you point blank
if this happened.

And I'm going
to say it didn't.

That's perjury, and I'm not
going to let you do that.

What are you, some white knight who
never crosses the line to win?

No, but I'm not going to let you make
a decision in the heat of the moment

that you'll regret
for the rest of your life.

Well, then, you better find some
other way to void this deal.

Because there is
no way I'm giving

my shit bag husband
half of everything I own.

I need you to find every loophole
there is around verbal contracts.

So Jeffrey was
telling the truth?

Yes, and she'd rather
slit her wrists

than give him 50 percent,
and I don't blame her.

Yeah, but she's the one
who's leaving him, so...

He cheated on her,
didn't he?

Well, that's between our client
and her soon-to-be ex-husband,

and I have no intention of letting
him get the better of her.

What?

You're being protective.

It's sweet.
Okay, listen to me.

We're protecting Esther because
it's our job to protect her.

And if we don't figure
a way out of this,

she's going to lose
millions of dollars.

So, you want to make observations
about the two of us?

Do it all you want
after we've won.

I'm on it.

Okay, so final deal
memos here,

check authorizations here.

Now all we need to do
is get Kelton to sign,

and we are done.
(SIGHS)

Mike, I know you think
this deal sucks,

but there is
a silver lining.

We got to work
together again.

What?

I was just thinking
about when we started.

Who would have thought
that working with you

would ever have been
a silver lining?

Me?
(LAUGHS) Yeah, you.

What about you?

What are you talking about?

I have been a gentleman
since clay one. Really?

Yes. Remember the whole
airplane incident?

Do I? Yes, you were
the one who...

Wait.

Wait, wait, wait, wait.

Wait a second.
Delta Financial.

What about them? There was a
brochure for Delta Bauer Financial

on Robert Zane's desk.

And on top of that, they were listed as a
subsidiary on Arcadian's annual report.

As are 50 other funds.

Fifty other funds that don't have
a brochure on Robert Zane's desk.

Mike.
Katrina.

I need to know if
they're one of your clients.

You know
I can't tell you that.

Okay, well,
you just did.

Now I need to know
if they own shares of Kelton.

I don't know
if they own shares,

and I'm not going
to find out.

What, you don't care if
Robert Zane is manipulating

a case to service
a hedge fund?

It doesn't matter
if I care.

I can't violate
attorney-client privilege.

You said you owe me.

And you said
I owe Rachel.

Katrina, please.

You said that Robert is
doing right by his clients.

Well, I just need to Know which
clients he's doing right by.

(SIGHS)

DONNA: Hey.

Do you have a minute?

The last time
I asked you that,

you told me
the answer was no.

And I still gave you
the minute.

Well, I happen to be
in the middle of trying

to get Louis' sister
out of a huge mess, so...

That's what I wanted
to talk to you about.

Louis promised to stay out of this.
And he is.

And I'm not here because
he asked me to be.

I'm here because I care
about him and...

That's not my problem.

Harvey, I'm not
the enemy here.

And Louis is your partner
and your friend,

and right now, he needs
a little reassurance.

And I told you before,
I'm not the guy

that gives you a hug
when you're scared.

I'm the guy that wins
when you need it the most.

Why can't you for once...
You know what, Donna?

When I came to you
for help,

you said that I don't
get to do that anymore.

Well, you don't get
to do this anymore.

Now, if you'll excuse me,
I have work to do.

You know what, Harvey?

Louis was afraid to
let you take this case,

and I told him not to be because I
trusted that at the end of the day,

you'd remember that
we're family.

But maybe I was wrong.

Because I spent 12 years
putting you first,

and the day I finally decided
to do something for myself,

you didn't just stop
treating me like family,

you started treating me
like a stranger.

And for your information,
that is a thousand times

worse than if you'd treated
me like your enemy.

Louis, did you
need something?

I need you to know
how proud I am of you,

because seeing you
working like this

just reminds me how you
persevered with the LSATs

and how you got into
law school, and now...

Louis, I'm not telling you
about Esther's case.

VVell, then, what the
hell good are you?

Louis, you promised Harvey
you would stay out of it.

I just need to know what happened.
What happened with what?

What happened
with them.

I mean, it's no secret that I
hated Jeffrey, but Esther,

she loved him.

And for them
to just...

I need to know why.

He cheated on her.

Well, then you promise me
that the two of you

stick it
to that sack of shit.

What do you think
I'm working on?

We're all squared away
on the paperwork?

No, we're not
squared away on shit

until you tell me
whether or not you knew.

You want to run that by me again?
Delta Financial. Your client.

Did you know they were
heavily invested in Kelton?

Are you accusing me
of something, Mike?

Because you better watch
what you say.

You still haven't
answered my question.

Did you know a subsidiary of the
hedge fund backing our suit

just purchased a huge
block of Kelton shares?

lam their lawyer,
not a stock analyst.

Then maybe
you can explain to me

why you have one of their
brochures on your desk.

Okay, listen to me,
Mr. Photographic Memory.

Underneath this brochure

are another 35 that have been piling
up there for a year and a half

because I'm looking
to invest my money

that's someday maybe
going to your children.

What, you think we want money that comes
from some stock that went through the roof

because you authorized a settlement
lower than street expectations?

Okay, you've said your piece.
Now I'm gonna say mine.

I have been a lawyer
and an officer of the court

longer than
you've breathed air.

And I'm looking you
straight in the eye

and telling you that
lam an honest man.

You know as an honest man that
now that we've discovered this,

we have to disclose it
as a conflict of interest.

Then bury it,
deep in the fine print,

because it had nothing to do
with my recommendation,

and I'm not going to let it
blow this goddamn deal.

Since when did this
become a deposition?

It didn't.

But since you seemed
so anxious to ask Esther

about what
she said in the past,

I thought I'd just
save us all the trouble

and get it
on the record myself.

What?
I never agreed to...

You promised Jeffrey 50 percent
of your company, didn't you?

Yes, I did.

Then it's settled.
RACHEL: Well, not quite.

Now that our client has admitted
that she made the agreement,

we'd like to discuss the
circumstances under which she did.

What do you mean
the circumstances?

She promised me
50 percent, period.

No, she promised you 50
percent because you forfeited

your admission to medical school.
JEFFREY: That's right.

And instead of
going to Stanford,

I stayed home
and took care of our family.

RACHEL: Then, why is there no record of
you ever being admitted to Stanford?

Or any school,
for that matter?

Just a pile
of rejection letters.

You lied to me?

This is ridiculous.

Lots of people don't get into
medical school on the first try.

You were going to take half of
my company on the first try.

Thirty percent. He's not
getting another penny

of the business
I built myself.

JEFFREY: You want to talk
about doing things yourself?

Who do you think stayed home
and kept our family together

while you were too busy baking muffins
to make dinner for your kids?

ESTHER: Don't you dare
attack me as a mother!

You cheated on me.

Esther, I'm sorry.

I made a mistake.

But I did give up
everything for you.

I put my life on hold.

I sacrificed
my dream for yours.

I'm never going
to get those years back.

ESTHER: No, Jeffrey.

We had everything,

and you ruined it.

All right, that's enough.

You have
our final offer.

This better not be
about Robert Zane again.

Just give me one minute.

God damn it.

One of his clients
purchased shares of Kelton,

and if they acted
on privileged information...

I know the law.

Well, then you know it's unethical
at best and illegal at worst.

What do you want
from me?

I want to know
if you think he knew.

And what the hell
difference does that make?

It's the difference between a legitimate
settlement and stock manipulation.

You mean it would
make him a fraud?

This isn't the same thing,
and you know it.

I'm not trying to
screw over my clients.

Why would you even
bring that up right now?

Because you begged me for this case
and a chance to work with that man.

And if he colluded
with them,

we can stick a better
settlement down their throats.

Do you really think Robert Zane
is dirty enough to do that?

I don't know.

But I find it hard to believe that
he's dumb enough not to know.

My dad's not dumb.

And he's not dirty.

Rachel... And the last time
someone called him shady,

it was Louis, and you
almost punched him over it.

This is different.
This is the same.

You were going to punch him because
an attack on me is an attack on you.

Well, an attack on my
father is an attack on me,

and you're the one
who's doing it.

Nobody's attacking anybody.
Mike!

You once came to me

asking me to give you
the benefit of the doubt,

and I gave it to you.

So the least you can do
is give it to him.

ESTHER: I was hoping
you had good news,

but you're not pouring that
drink because we have a deal.

We don't, but we can.

What are you saying?

I'm saying
they offered 30 percent,

and I talked them down
to 25 percent.

And why
should I take it?

Because he's not the one
dragging this fight out anymore.

You are.

And whether or not you believe he
gave up everything for you, he does.

Tell me I don't have
the right to be angry.

Do you know why I never even considered
becoming a divorce attorney?

Because it's beneath you.

Because there are
children involved.

And when people
get caught up in divorce,

they forget there are some things in
life that are more important than money.

Okay, Harvey.

Twenty five percent.

You know, you're not exactly the
Harvey Specter I was expecting.

Is that a good thing
or a bad thing?

A good thing.

You're not exactly the Louis'
sister I was expecting.

Is that a good thing or a bad thing?
A good thing.

Definitely a good thing.

Would you like to
take me home tonight?

I would.

But I need you
to sign that first.

And why is that?

Because then you won't
be my client anymore.

A man with a code.

Maybe you are
a white knight after all.

Come on,
let's get out of here.

Louis, it's midnight.
What's...

Harvey's screwing Esther.

What?
Look at this.

It's an agreement
that Esther signed

that agrees to give
Jeffrey 25 percent.

That's five percent more than she
needs to pay that son-of-a-bitch.

Where did you get this? Well,
I was walking down the hall,

I saw two glasses, a bottle
of scotch, and that.

He got her drunk,
so he could screw me over.

Okay, there is no way
Harvey would ever do that.

You woke me up in the middle
of the night to tell me that?

Donna, five percent extra is $3 million.
How do you explain that?

How do you explain that?

I can't.
I can.

He's trying to get me back
about his compensation

by trying to
screw over another Litt.

So what I need you to do...
Louis.

The only thing that I need to
do is tell you you're crazy

and go back to sleep.

And if you do anything
between now and tomorrow

other than confront Harvey
face-to-face, so help me God,

you will not have a
secretary in the morning.

Hey.

Hey.

I'm letting it go.

Does that have something to
do with where you've been

so early in the morning?

Yeah.

You went to see my dad?
I went to see Emma Powell.

I asked her how she felt
about the settlement.

She said it would
change her life.

You said it wasn't
enough money.

She didn't even
mention the money.

She said, for her,
the settlement was proof

that Kelton didn't do right by her
husband, and that was all she needed.

(CHUCKLES) Okay.

So because the plaintiff
was happy,

all of a sudden, you think
my dad is an honest man.

No.

I went there to see
if I could let it go.

I know your dad
is an honest man

because he's raised
someone like you.

You were right.

I never should have
questioned his integrity.

I was also right that you never
should have taken this case.

No, you were wrong
about that.

I told you
we might fight,

but it would bring us closer
together, and it did.

And not just me
and your father.

What does that mean? I
mean you and your father.

(CHUCKLES)

I have never seen you leap
to his defense like that.

I did leap to his defense, didn't I?
(CHUCKLES) You sure did.

You think our daughter will leap
to my defense like that one day?

She sure will.

Louis, what are you
doing here?

I'll tell you
what I'm doing here.

I'm coming to you face-to-face
about screwing my sister.

Excuse me?

I saw the terms, Harvey.
They're a joke.

No, they're what Esther wanted, and
you swore you'd stay out of this.

Well, it's a good
thing I didn't,

because there's no way she wanted
to give away millions of dollars.

It's called being charitable
in order to move on.

It's called Jeffrey is a piece
of shit, not the March of Dimes.

He should be
getting nothing.

Instead of being focused
on what he gets,

you should be focused on what
Esther gets, which is to be happy.

Wrong. Litts
are never happy,

and you're using her
to get to me.

How the hell
am I doing that?

You think I went after
your money by changing

the firm's
compensation structure.

You did come
after my money.

And now you're going after
Esther's to even the score.

If I wanted
to even the score,

I wouldn't come
after your sister,

I'd be coming after you.

And for your information, I convinced
her to be forgiving by telling her

that there are some things in life
that are more important than money.

Bullshit!
You don't believe that.

Louis, I didn't take this
to get back at you.

I took it because it was a chance
to bury the hatchet and move on.

So, either let
these terms stand,

or do what you always do
and screw everything up.

Robert.

I'm glad you're here.
What the hell did you do?

What are you
talking about?

I went to see Emma Powell, but I swear to
God, I did not undermine the settlement.

I'm not talking about that.

I'm talking about you going
behind my back to Arcadian.

I didn't do that.

Oh, you expect me
to believe that

after all the shit you told me
the last time I saw you?

You can believe it or not, but I'm
telling you I didn't do anything.

Then, who did?
JESSICA: I did.

You said if he colluded
with Arcadian,

then we could shove a bigger
settlement down their throats.

But he didn't
have to collude,

because Arcadian already had
access to that settlement.

Which makes it
insider trading anyway.

JESSICA: And I pointed
out to them

that if they were to divest
their shares to our clients

who don't have
insider knowledge,

then they've done
nothing wrong.

No harm done.

The harm is,
you lost me my client

and made me
look like a fool.

No, Robert, they did that by
not telling you what they did.

Which means the client you
lost was breaking the law.

And worse than that,

they were lying
to their lawyer.

Oh, so you think
this is funny?

No. I don't.

I think your future son-in-law trusted
you had nothing to do with it

and then saved your ass
from committing a crime.

You're welcome?

Thank you.

And you have my condolences.
For what?

For having
to deal with him.

Oh, you have no idea.

Hey, right here. I'm
standing right here, guys.

Can I buy you a drink?

Mmm-hmm.

If you guys, you know,
need anything fixed or saved

that no one else seems to be
able to do, I'll be right here.

Hey.

ESTHER: Hey.

What are you doing here?

I wanted to tell you
how grateful I am.

You don't need to do that. Yes.

I do.

This whole mess

has been the hardest thing
I've ever gone through.

And I wouldn't have
gotten through it

without you reminding me
what's really important.

Thank you for that.

Take care, Harvey.

Good luck, Esther.

Oh, by the way,

Louis wanted me to tell you
how grateful he is too.

Harvey.

Louis.

What can I
do for you?

Remember when I said
if I wanted you to make up

for the compensation vote,
I would come to you directly?

Well, now I am.

Well, what happened to

"Some things in life are
more important than money?"

This isn't about the money.

This is about
making things right.

I'm sorry, Harvey.

For what?

I act like I don't know
Esther's beautiful, but I do.

It started when
we were in junior high

and all the cool kids
would hang outwith me

just so they could
get close to her.

Sometimes it worked,
and sometimes it didn't,

but either way,
when it was over,

they all acted like
they didn't know me at all.

So, when I thought

you were using her
to get to me, I, um...

I wasn't doing that, Louis.

I know.

I'll take care of
the compensation issue.

(SOFT MUSIC PLAYING)

What can I
do for you, Harvey?

I wanted to thank you.

For what?

For 12 years.

Come up to meet you

Tell you I'm sorry

You don't know
how lovely you are

I had to find you

Tell you I need you

Tell you I set you apart

Tell me your secrets

And ask me your questions

Oh, let's go back
to the start

Running in circles

Coming up tails

Heads on a science apart
