Suits (2011–…): Season 5, Episode 5 - Toe to Toe - full transcript

(HARVEY READING)

I hear you're interviewing
replacements this morning. lam.

HARVEY: You good
at what you do?

I'm great at what I do.

Then you start tomorrow.

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 going to 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, and I
hope you've been saving your money.

Because your gravy train's
about to leave the station.

MIKE: Okay, I'm dialing 911.

It's not a heart attack.
It's a panic attack.

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, let's take a
look at your resume.

Witness tampering,
extortion, bribery.

Forgery fits right in.

I actually looked
into your mommy.



And it turns out that the whole
time you were home with Daddy,

Mommy was out banging...
(BLOW LANDS)

(WOMAN SINGING)
So much is going on...

But you can always
come around...

Why don't you

Sit with me just
a little while...

So, tell me what
you want to do

Hey, Harv,
how's it going?

And you just give
me all your love...

And you just give me
all your love

DR. AGARD: You're
absolutely certain

the man was this
Travis Tanner person.

Yes.

And yet, you're
just as certain

the woman wasn't Donna.

That's what I said.
I know that.

But you haven't
said who she was.

Why are you looking
at me like that?

You know why.

I don't know who she was.

Okay, then,
let's try this.

Why do you think Travis
Tanner all of a sudden

popped into
your subconscious?

Because I'm in the middle
of a case against him.

Well, since you don't want to
talk about the dream anymore,

why don't we talk
about the case?

(KEYS CLACKING)

That's not creepy at all.

I was just wondering why
you changed your hair.

Hair's the same as
it's always been.

You trying to look
older, younger?

Because whatever it is,
it isn't working.

Are you finished? 'Cause
I'm actually trying to

catch up on some
billables here.

Hey, I just stopped by to give you a
little gift for winning the Zane case.

A gift? You've never given
me a gift after a case.

That's not true.
Come to think of it,

you've never even
congratulated me,

which means you're
actually here because...

Oh, my god.

You miss me.

I did...
Not miss you.

Are you okay? Do you want
to come over tonight?

We can watch
Sleepless in Seattle.

Do you want
your gift or not?

That's it? My gift looks
a lot like a folder.

It's a case.

You and me killing it
against Travis Tanner.

Just like old times?
Just like old times.

Well, what are
we waiting for?

Nothing. He's on
his way over with

a settlement offer
right now.

Settlement?
That doesn't
sound like Tanner.

It sounds exactly
like Tanner.

How is that? He's starting
off waving a white flag.

And he's doing it
just to go behind our backs

so he can
attack our flank.

So, you're saying we
need to watch our flank.

No, I'm saying we
need to attack his.

What?
I'm just going to say it.

Every time we go up against
Tanner, it gets brutal.

You just had a panic
attack the other day,

so, are you sure this is really
what you need right now?

It's exactly what
I need right now.

Then, let's go get him.

Louis.

What's this?

That is a token
of my appreciation.

You told me to trust Harvey
with Esther and you were right.

Now, Harvey
and I are good.

Well, if you're going
to give me a gift

every time I turn
out to be right,

then I'm going to need
a bigger apartment.

Well, not every time,
but this time.

Your mud club.

I'm going mudding?
Even better.

We're going mudding.

Wow, Louis. I don't
know what to say.

This is, urn...
Wonderful?

Inappropriate.

Oh, come on, Donna.

I don't think you understand.
Picture this.

You and me,
side by side,

completely naked,

our bodies covered in
the juices of mother earth.

Oh, yeah. Now, I can see exactly
how it's totally appropriate.

Exactly.

Donna, trust me.

When you dip your virgin toe
in the deep warmth of my mud,

you're never going to
be the same again.

Jessica, we have a problem.
I went through the bylaws.

It turns out the new
compensation structure

is in violation of
subsection C-35,

so the vote
in itself was moot.

So, you're saying we're going back
to the old compensation structure?

No, I'm not saying that.

Subsection C-35
is saying that.

There's only one problem.

Subsection C-35
didn't exist 24 hours ago.

Jessica...
Cut the shit, Louis.

Tell me what this
is really about.

(SIGHS)

It's about me trying to make
things right with Harvey.

And I have no
problem with that.

But I also need you to
make things right with me.

What are you talking about?

That vote was an
assault on my power.

I sneak this by, I don't
get my power back.

It just makes me the
same as you and Jack.

So, you're not going
to undo this thing

the same shady way

that the two of you passed
it in the first place.

Jessica, I told you

leaving Harvey's
compensation in the copier

was an accident.

And a man named
Santa Claus

climbs down chimneys and
leaves presents under trees.

Okay, fine. I get it.
You don't believe me.

But how the hell am I supposed
to convince the senior partners

to take money out
of their own pockets?

That's your problem.

If you want to
reverse that policy,

bring it up for a vote.

Like a 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

(ELEVATOR DINGS)

Excuse me, tiger.

Don't you want to check
in at reception?

Oh, I know where I'm going.
No, you don't.

Yeah, I'd say you know who
l am, but you're not Donna.

No, I'm not. But I
do Know who you are.

Well, then, you know
who I'm here to see.

I also know that the very
first time you ever came here,

you walked right past
security and by Donna.

But like you just said,
I'm not Donna.

I like you.

You filling in for the day?

None of your business.

Hey, I'm just saying
when Red gets back,

maybe you want to
come work for me.

I already have a job.

And right now, it's getting
your sorry ass

into the conference room.

So, what are
you going to do?

The only thing
I can do.

Get Harvey to ask me
for something else.

No, not an option.

Donna, the only way

I can get this clone is
with Jack Soloff's help.

And there is no way that
he's going to reverse

the very same proposal

that put him on the map.

I'll tell you what Harvey
would do.

I don't care

what Harvey would do

because I cannot do
what Harvey would do.

What would Harvey do?

He'd find a way to
make it worth Jack's while.

Get Rachel to
get me a list

of every major
corporate merger

pending in
the next month.

There is the Louis
I came to work for.

You are right.
Here I am,

and I'm going
to get it done.

And when I do,

you and I are going
for a long, slow mud.

No, we're not.

HARVEY: If you're here
to check the air,

it's like a sauna
on the 38th floor.

Good to see you, Harvey. Nice to
know some people never change.

No witty rejoinder?

What's going on, you slowing
down in your old age?

Could be low T.

And I could talk shit with you
guys all day.

But I'm here because I
care about my client.

Well, then, maybe
your client shouldn't
have tried to launch

a company with
stolen IP.

That IP
wasn't stolen.

Alyssa created
it herself.

It doesn't matter whether
she created it or not.

She signed a contract
that says we own it

and it was on our laptop that
she took home on her last day.

And we're not letting you walk
out the door with our property.

Okay. I told you,
this isn't about me.

Okay. What do
you want, Tanner?

I want to make an offer.

Alyssa is willing
to give you

a 15% stake to
drop this whole thing.

She can make it 100% for all I care.
We're not settling.

You don't have to settle

but you do have
to present that offer

to your client
and you know it.

I will. I just need to get it
translated from bullshit to English.

Harvey, look at me.

That's a fair offer.

No, you look at
me and tell me

you're not doing something
behind our backs right now.

I'm not.
Well, we are.

Your secretary said you wouldn't
file a TRO until after this meeting.

Oh, we didn't. No, it turns out that
Miss Lang has some outstanding debts.

So, we just went ahead and bought those
up and put a lien on her property.

The Sheriff is padlocking
her offices as we speak.

Harvey, don't do this.
You'll be sorry.

Tell that to the judge. We're
filing that TRO in the morning.

I'm telling you,

I'm not the guy
I used to be.

But if you hit me, I'm not
turning the other cheek.

You're going to get hit back.

What are you
so happy about?

I told you, it's
exactly what I needed.

You've gone up against
this man how many times?

Enough to know
that he's a piece of shit

that will cross whatever
line it takes to win.

All I've heard so far is
the line that you crossed.

Listen, you may understand
some things about people,

but you don't
understand what I do.

Well, it sounds to me like what you did was
attack a man that was waving a white flag.

Were you listening?

He wasn't waving a white
flag, he was setting us up.

How can you be so sure?

Because I know Tanner.

Okay. Well, if you know so
well what he was capable of,

why was it such a good idea
to pick a fight with him?

Because it's what I do.

Well, maybe it's time to
consider changing what you do.

Okay, here we go. What about
Gentech and Orion Pharmaceuticals?

Monster merger, contingent
fee, and huge upside.

And Cravath is listed as
the attorney of record,

which means if they swap out,
it blows the whole thing up.

Okay, well,
that's the last one.

Shit.

Wait. This has been
here the whole time.

What about John Dellmore?

They're merging
with Arkin Financial,

it hasn't been
announced yet.

It's just sitting there
ripe for the taking.

No, not going to happen. Dellmore's
been with Harmon and Shupe for decades.

So what? Harmon and Shupe is a third
tier law firm and Shupe is a joke.

She's also John
Dellmore's wife.

Well, so then, maybe we can convince
Dellmore that his wife is a trollop.

Louis!
Goddamn it.

What is going on?

I need Jack Soloff to overturn
the compensation vote.

And the only way for me to do that is
to bring in a big contingent client.

And share
the money with him.

Exactly. And none of
these people are it.

Okay. (SIGHS)

Wait. Where are you going?

Like you said, none of
these people are it.

It's late, we're both exhausted, and
I've got a test in the morning.

Rachel, please.
Louis, I'm sorry.

We'll work on it tomorrow
morning, I promise.

Rach.

(SIGHS)

Gentlemen, I don't like granting
TROs without a good reason.

We have a good reason,
Your Honor.

It's called a contract.

A contract that
explicitly states

that any product Alyssa Lang
developed during her employment

is the property
of our client.

Unfortunately, that
contract is unenforceable.

It is unless, I woke up
in Russia this morning.

Your Honor, I have here a copy of
Alyssa Lang's birth certificate.

She may have signed that
contract, but it isn't binding

because she was
only 16 at the time.

What?

Your Honor,
I know this man,

and that document could
have come from anywhere.

Get it verified by
the labs at Quantico.

All it's going to prove is that Alyssa
Lang had no legal capacity to sign.

It doesn't matter how old she was when
she signed it, it was ten years ago.

She's cashed every
paycheck she got since.

JUDGE: And you can
argue that at trial.

But we have laws
protecting minors

for a reason and I'm
not granting a TRO.

And one more thing,
Your Honor.

We have payment in full,
discharging her debt,

and are requesting her
doors be reopened.

That has nothing to do
with why we're here.

Save it for trial,
Mr. Specter. It's lunch,

I'm hungry, and those padlocks
are coming off today.

(GAVEL BANGS)

What the hell was that?

That was the sound of your
face hitting the canvas.

I suggest you stay down.

I'm not staying anywhere,
you son of a bitch.

Excuse me?
You heard me.

Your client
was 16 years old

and you conveniently left that
out of your changed man speech.

I didn't tell you about her because I knew
you wouldn't listen to a thing I said

after I offered you a fair deal
and you told me to go to hell.

Bullshit. You didn't tell us because
you wanted to blind-side us in court.

Hey, you're the one who turned the
lights out on Alyssa's business

while I was extending
an olive branch.

Bullshit again. We both
know that settlement offer

was nothing but
a distraction.

(SCOFFS)

You want a distraction?

That is a draft of Alyssa
Lang's sexual harassment

complaint against
your client.

And as far our offer goes,
it wasn't a distraction.

Because we haven't filed that yet,
and our offer's still on the table.

I advise you
to take it.

You didn't believe the sexual
harassment aflegafion.

Not a chance.
Why not?

Well, for starters, it came
out of Tanner's mouth.

And I know Tim Petroff, and
he didn't cheat on his wife.

And you're angry
at him for that?

You're damn right I am. There are
some things you just don't do.

Like lie?

Like threaten to rip
a man's family apart.

Hmm.

What?

I just find it
interesting

that you talk about family
as if it were sacred.

Yet you've never married.

You've never had
a family of your own.

I don't see any macaroni paintings
or school pictures in here either.

And my personal life
is not the topic here.

So, why don't we
get back to what is?

If it was such a good idea
to pick a fight with Tanner,

why were you so angry at him for doing
exactly what you knew he would do?

You're the doctor,
you tell me.

Okay.

Maybe because getting
angry at someone

is a way to avoid facing
what's going on with yourself.

(ELEVATOR DINGS)

Oh, good, you're back.

Can't be good
if you're out here.

Well, I didn't want you to get ambushed.
There's a Tim...

Tim Petroff of
BetaSoft in my office.

He's been wearing out your
carpet for a half an hour.

Tanner must have sent him
a copy of the complaint.

If you mean that paper balled
up in his fist, I'd say he did.

Thanks for the
heads up, Gretchen.

Tim, before
you say anything...

Sexual harassment?
What the hell is this?

It's only a draft.
It hasn't been filed yet.

And that's supposed to
make me feel better?

It's a goddamn lie.
I have never

done anything remotely
resembling harassing anyone.

Tim. Calm down.
I want you to...

I'm not going
to calm down.

This is a complete
twisting of who I am.

I want this
woman destroyed.

It's not her.
It's her lawyer.

I don't care who it is.

I have a wife and children
and I want this thing gone.

Then, you should know there's
a settlement on the table.

Mike, not now.

What settlement?

A 15% stake
in her venture.

PETROFF: Are you
out of your mind?

You think I'm going to settle with
these people based on blackmail?

No one's settling.

Yeah, you're damn right
no one's settling.

Now, earn your money and blow
this woman out of the water.

You heard him.

Figure out a way to put the
screws to her once and for all.

Harvey. And I don't want to hear
any shit about my state of mind.

I'm not going to say
anything about that.

But what I will say is that if
Tanner's willing to make her do this,

what's to say he's not willing
to make her do something worse?

What do you want to do, Mike?
You want to back down?

No. I want to
get Tanner fired.

It's not legal for
us to talk to her.

There's no law against me
running into her by accident.

Rachel, what are
you doing here?

I've been looking
all over for you.

Don't you mean, "Hey, Rachel,
how did your test go?"

I don't care how
your test went.

I just need you to get me everything
you can on John Dellmore.

Louis, we've already
been over this.

His lawyer is his wife. You're
never going to sign him.

Well, that's just it. I
don't need to sign him.

I only need to
pretend to sign him.

Okay. That's a bad idea.

No, it's not.

If Jack thinks
I've signed Dellmore

and I tell him
I'll give him a piece,

he'll know it's worth a fortune to
him and he'll overturn the vote.

And what are you going to do when he
finds out the whole thing was a lie?

He won't. I'll make
up some sob story

about how Dellmore made up with his wife
and we'll live to fight another day.

He's never going
to believe that.

Rachel, Katrina would have been
onboard with this from day one.

Okay. Louis, I'm sorry.

lam not trying to
rain on your parade.

But when Jack finds out,

he is going to
hate you forever.

Well, I made a
promise to Harvey.

And if it's a choice between Jack
hating me and breaking that promise,

I'm picking Harvey
every single time.

What exactly do you need?

I need a way to dazzle the
shit out of John Dellmore.

Thank you.

I don't understand,
my bill's been paid?

Yes, sir, it has.
By who?

Uh, by me.

And who exactly are you?

I'm Louis Litt.

And not only did I
pay for your check,

I also brought
you another one.

(CHUCKLES)

You're donating $50,000
to my charity.

Yes.

Why would you want to...

Because it may not look like
it, but I was homeless.

I spent two years
on the streets.

And had it not been for
your family's organization,

I would not be
the man I am today.

Is there anything
I can do to thank you?

Just keep doing
what you're doing.

You, sir.

Are a true American hero.

(CHUCKLES)

Thank you.
Thank you.

Oh, good, you're here.

What the hell was that?

That was John Dellmore.

Yeah, I know who it is.

Why was he
giving you a hug?

Because I just convinced him
to let us handle his merger.

Does that have something
to do with why we're here?

It's got everything
to do with why we're here.

Because I knew that you would never
believe that I could close Dellmore.

(CHUCKLES) You're right.
If I hadn't seen it myself,

I never would
have believed it.

And why is that?
Because I'm a grinder?

Here's the thing, Jack.

When you took on Harvey, you pitted
the grinders against the rainmakers,

and that was
a good move.

But you want to move
to the next level,

we need to be both
grinders and rainmakers.

Do you understand
what I'm saying?

What are you saying, Louis?

lam saying that we need to revisit
the compensation agreement.

No way.
Why would I do that?

Because when we
get this business,

it will be worth
a fortune to us.

Us?
Yes, us.

Jack, if you are
with me on this,

I will give you fifty cents
to every dollar that I make.

Yeah.

Let's get this done.

Careful,
that's really hot.

A woman once sued McDonald's
for getting burned.

(BOTH CHUCKLING)

Although I guess you could just say
you got burned and sue them anyway.

Who are you?

It doesn't matter who I am.
It matters who I work for.

Tim Petroff.

You can't talk to me.
I'm just fixing my coffee.

You want to walk
away, walk away.

But before you do, I'm going
to say to nobody in particular

that you should
fire your lawyer.

I'm not firing anybody.

Well, then, you should also know
that falsely accusing someone of

sexual harassment
is a criminal offense.

And no matter what
Travis Tanner has told you

to convince you that
you'll get away with it,

you won't.

There's nothing in that complaint
that isn't factually correct.

You are twisting those facts and you
could ruin a man's life and you know it.

Oh. And how is that different
from what he's doing to me?

It's completely different.

Is it? I worked for that man
60 hours a week for 10 years.

And now that I want to
start my own company,

he not only wants to crush me, but
he told people I stole the idea.

If that's not ruining a person's
life, then I don't know what is.

Oh. And as far as
Travis Tanner goes,

sexual harassment wasn't
his idea, it was mine.

And when he tried
to talk me out of it,

I told him he can either get onboard
or watch me get another lawyer.

Rachel Zane,
you glorious creature.

Glorious?
Yes, glorious.

I mean, you were masterful.

The charity,

his lone lunches at
his favorite restaurant,

having Jack show up
at the perfect time,

I mean, you are not
only a brilliant attorney,

you're the backbone
of this entire...

Louis, I'm not going
mudding with you.

Goddamn it. What did
Donna tell you?

She told me that if it went
well, you would come in here

trying to get
a celebratory mud.

And that if it
didn't go well,

you would try to get
a sympathy mud.

Wait a second. I could have
gotten a sympathy mud?

No, you couldn't.
But the good news is,

you got what you
wanted with Jack.

And on top of that, Louis,

you really made
a difference

in the lives of
homeless children.

Which reminds me.
After the vote,

I want you to put a stop
payment on that check.

Okay. No. That is
a despicable thing to do.

Please, any charity claiming to do a good
thing is clearly a scam. I won't have it.

So, you mean you're cheap.
You know what?

For someone who won't
throw me a sympathy mud,

you're very judgmental.

Louis, what can
I do for you?

You can give me
your proxy.

Why would I do that?

Because you asked me to bring the
compensation issue up for a vote

like a man and I did.

And is Jack Soloff
aware of this?

He's not only aware of it,
he's voting for it.

And however did you
get him to do that?

Let's just say that you
wanted me to do this

like Harvey would have
and not like I would have.

But I did
the best of both.

Then, you have my proxy.

Harvey, I talked
to Alyssa Lang

and there's something
you should know.

Let me guess. She batted her
eyes, told you a sob story,

and now you think she's
some kind of innocent.

No, I don't. In fact, she told me that
the sexual harassment idea was hers.

And why do I
need to know that?

I think we should
consider taking the deal.

Well, we're not
going to do that.

Why not?

Because first of all, there's no way
on earth that Tim is going to settle.

You could convince him
and you know it.

And second of all, there's no way on
earth that that suit was her idea.

Harvey, You weren't
there, all right?

Yeah, I didn't have to be there to
know that if Tanner could convince her

to do that bullshit
in the first place,

he could sure as hell get
her to say it was her idea.

He couldn't have known that
I was going to contact her.

He could and he did and I don't
want to hear another word about it.

And while you were away trying
to get her to cut him loose,

I was here trying to figure out how to do
what Tim asked us to do and blow her away.

Harvey, this isn't a joke.

I'm not joking.

The only way to get Tanner to back
down is to point a cannon in his face.

You're not pointing it in his
face, you're pointing it in hers.

And, and, and once you
put this in motion,

there's no guarantee that you're
going to be able to pull it back.

She should have thought of that
before she hired Travis Tanner.

(WHISPERS) Listen, I'm going to
start by introducing the proposal,

then you chime in.

Jack, I gave you
50% of Dellmore,

but I need to be seen as
leading the charge on this.

Louis, I got the partners in line
by telling them it was my proposal.

Okay. So, I'll introduce
you with my full support,

and then you can
just take it from there.

Okay.
Oh, and by the way,

when we win this thing,

maybe you and I can
go mudding together.

Why don't we just
focus on the meeting?

Right.

First of all, I would like to
thank everyone for coming.

The issue at hand is
a very important proposal

that Jack and I have
been working on.

I have both Harvey
and Jessica's proxies,

and I am pleased to
say this measure

has their full
support. Jack.

Thank you, Louis.

In light of the impact of
recent changes in the firm

resulting from the new
compensation structure,

Louis and I strongly feel

that there should be
no new policy changes

for the next 12 months.

What?
And as Louis just said,

the name partners
gave their blessing,

so why don't we make it unanimous?
All in favor?

The motion seems
to have passed.

Next order of business.

What the hell did
you just do?

What the hell did I do? I
protected my own interests.

We had a deal.
We didn't have a thing.

You think I bought that John
Dellmore stunt at the restaurant?

I was onto you the second
you walked over to my table

and I let you
give me that

bullshit speech about
grinders and rainmakers

just so I could do
what I just did.

Okay, I get it.

You made your point and you
made a name for yourself.

But, Jack, you
need to undo this.

What makes you think I could have
undone it in the first place?

They voted for that proposal because
it put more money in their pockets.

And now,
it's there to stay.

By the way, you want to
go mudding with someone,

why don't you
ask Harvey Specter?

Because it doesn't take
a genius to figure out

that he's the one that got you to
carry his water in the first place.

Thanks.

I got you the special.

Did you say no pickles?
You didn't say no pickles.

I didn’t say order my lunch.
So, sue me.

You send the notification
over to Tanner?

Two hours ago.
Then, it won't be long.

What?

I didn't say anything about your
state of mind after Tim Petroff

because I wasn't worried about it then.
But I am now.

Mike.
What if it doesn't work?

It will work.
And what if it doesn't?

Then it's on Tanner.
No, it's on you.

Because I'm telling you right now,
Tanner is not driving this thing.

Well, speak of the devil.

You son of a bitch.

You filed criminal charges
against my client?

You're damn right we did.

She forged a fake driver's license
and attached it to her W2.

That's ten years of tax fraud.
Oh, you piece of shit.

This is crossing
the line even for you.

For me? Ever since
the day I met you,

all you've done
is cross lines.

And it started with you
ripping off cancer victims.

Not to mention every other
thing you've ever done.

Hey. I told you, I am
not that guy anymore.

Yeah, right before you tried
to ruin my client's life

with some bullshit
sexual harassment charge.

Right after he padlocked
my client's livelihood.

Yeah, you're damn right he did.
Harvey.

Because if you're on
a case against me,

it's just a matter of time until you
eviscerate someone I care about.

Eviscerate? If I was going to
eviscerate someone you cared about,

all I'd have to do is point out how
Donna's no longer working for you.

MIKE: Get out of here, Tanner.
She's working for Louis Litt.

You need to get out of
here right now, Tanner.

What did you just say to me?
Then I'd go up

to her and say,
"What happened, Red?

"Did Harvey get
tired of banging you?"

Okay. Harvey.
"Or was he such a lousy lay

"that you left him for
the guy down the road,

"just like Harvey's mom
did to dear old Dad?"

Harvey! Harvey, stop!

Tanner. Get out of here. Now.

Go!

You're absolutely
convinced

Tanner couldn't be
telling the truth.

What does it matter?

Well, you could be
ruining this woman's life.

That's not my problem.

So, you don't believe
in second chances?

I didn't say that.
No.

You just said a man
you didn't trust

swore
he'd changed.

And instead of giving him
a chance to prove that,

you launched
an all-out war.

Were you listening
to my goddamn story?

Did you hear
what he said?

That is not a man
that's changed.

No, I'm talking
about what you did.

You launched
an all-out war.

I did that
for my client.

And for your information, I have given
plenty of people second chances.

Like who?
Louis, for one.

Mike.

Donna. Scottie.

My brother. My...

Your what?

I thought we were
talking about the case.

We started by talking
about your dream.

Yeah, the one I had
because of my case.

Mmm-hmm. And you said the woman
in that dream wasn't Donna.

But it doesn't add up,
because the man was Tanner

and you just told me
what he said about her

the same day that
you had that dream.

Yeah, well, I don't care
if it doesn't add up,

because I'm
telling the truth.

And yet, you have tells all
over you that say otherwise.

Then, you don't know what a tell
is, because I don't have any.

All right.

We'll see who
knows what a tell is.

You want to play
poker with me?

Mmm-hmm. Yeah.

I'm going to play
poker with you.

And when I win and
you're out of money,

you're going to
tell me the truth.

And what do I get when
you're out of money?

(CHUCKLES)
Doesn't matter,

because it's never
going to happen.

Hey.
Hey.

I need to talk to you
about something.

What's going on? I just got
a call from Travis Tanner.

He wants me to meet
him in half an hour.

VVell, you have to tell Harvey.
I left him two messages.

He hasn't gotten back to me.
But even if he does,

he's going to
tell me not to go.

Well, then, don't go.

You can't go behind
Harvey's back.

That's the thing. What
if going to see Tanner

is more like having
Harvey's back?

What are you
talking about?

The client on the other side
of our case made a fake ID

ten years ago and now Harvey's ready
to send her to prison for it.

And he's only doing it
because of Tanner.

Okay, but it's
still Harvey's call.

And if he makes that call in
his current state of mind,

he might regret it
for the rest of his life.

What do you mean his
current state of mind?

(WHISPERS) A couple of weeks ago,
I walked into Harvey's office

and he was having
a panic attack.

Oh, my God.

And on top of that,
yesterday,

the two of them
got into a yelling match

that ended with Harvey
punching Tanner.

Okay, look.
(SIGHS)

Do whatever
you have to do.

Have Harvey's back.

Where is he?

I don't know.
Bullshit, you don't know.

Jessica, I swear I haven't
seen him since last night.

Then I need to know.

Did he lie to me?

Uh...
Donna.

I have always trusted you.

Now, I need you to trust me.

Did he do some underhanded shit
to fool Jack and it backfired?

Yes.

That's exactly
what he did.

Then, find him.

And tell him
to come see me.

HARVEY: What can I say?
Kings full of sixes.

(SCOFFS)

All right, Harvey.
You won.

What do you want?

Can't I take a minute
to enjoy my win?

You can,

but once our time's up,
I'm done granting wishes.

Well, in that case,
I want you to tell me

the worst mistake you
ever made as a therapist.

That wasn't
part of the deal.

No, no, no, no, no.

You didn't make a deal with me because you
were so sure you were going to beat me.

Well, you didn't, and it's
time to pay the piper.

Well, I'm not
going to do it.

Look who's deflecting now.

Look, I get it, okay?

You're here because your fears
are affecting your work.

And now, you're trying to find a
time where I failed at my job

so that you can
lash out at me.

And I'm not going
to let you do it.

No, I just want you to know what it
feels like to be me in here with you.

And if you're not willing to do that,
then what the hell good are you?

I killed someone.

What?

I do a lot of work as
an expert witness

in corporate
competency situations.

You mean substance abuse. Yes.

And usually, it's high powered
people looking to keep their jobs.

But this time,
it was different.

A client needed
someone to

get his son
out of rehab

so that he could attend
his mother's funeral.

I knew it was a mistake to even get
involved because he wanted it so badly.

But he was
a long-time client

and I cared about
him, so I did it.

I evaluated his son.

And I knew,

I knew deep down
inside he wasn't ready,

but I gave
the go ahead anwvay.

And the night
of the funeral,

he overdosed and died.

I'm so sorry.
Mmm.

Well, I don't want
you to be sorry.

I want you to sit
your ass down and

tell me the truth
about the dream.

I told you before,
I'm telling you the truth.

I don't know who
this woman was.

You know what? I just
opened myself up to you

to show you that I know
what it's like to be you.

But I don't.

Because I know that the
only way to come to terms

with what's inside
is to let it out.

And until you
figure that out,

you might as well
get the hell out.

Because you're wasting
both of our time.

I remember when you
used to ride a bike.

And I remember when you
used to be a scumbag,

but you didn't
pretend you weren't.

Why am I here, Tanner?

I want you to reconsider
our settlement offer.

And what makes you think we're
going to accept the same deal

that you brought
us before?

Because I've sat
across from you,

and I know that you care about
more than just the fight.

Well, I'm sorry. But that
fight's going to end

with Alyssa Lang
going to prison.

Yeah, but it
doesn't have to.

And the only reason

it's going to
end that way

is because that deal
is coming from me.

How the hell am I supposed
to believe a word you say'?

What do you want
me to say, huh?

That I got tired of
playing the goon?

Because I did. Yeah.

I woke up one morning

and I said enough
is enough.

And I haven't
taken one case

that I don't
believe in or done

anything that I couldn't
stomach since.

Look, Mike.

I don't have
a leg to stand on.

I don't have
another move.

But you can
convince Harvey

to convince Petroff not
to destroy this girl's life.

You just need to decide if
you're willing to do that, man.

Travis, you keep saying that
Harvey won't take the deal

because your name's on it.

Well, if you really
are a changed man,

maybe it's time
you prove it.

(GLASS CLINKING)

Oh. Hey,
you're not toner.

Donna, please,
leave me alone.

Louis, you can't hide
in here forever.

I have to. Because I made
a promise to Harvey

and not only did I drop
the ball, I shit the bed.

And on top of that,
I lied to Jessica

telling her that I wouldn't be doing
any more underhanded shit with Jack.

Well...

She knows
what you did.

And it's time
to face the music.

Oh, did you
not just hear me?

I defied a direct order.
I admit that,

I might as well tell her that
I put Harvey's salary

in the copy machine
in the first place.

You know what?
Maybe you should.

Oh, that's really hilarious.
What, are you crazy?

No, Louis, I'm not.

You keep making bad
decision after bad decision.

And this is a chance
to wipe them all clean.

It's not going to
wipe anything clean.

All it's going to do
is get me fired.

(EXHALES)

Yeah, maybe it will.

But the one thing
I do know is

you've lost
Jessica's trust.

This at least gives you a
chance to get it back.

And it's a hell of a lot
better than cowering in here.

(CLINKS)

What is it, Louis?

I'm here to
tell you the truth.

That you lied when you said
you weren't going to do

anything underhanded
with Jack?

That I was the one that left
Harvey's salary in the copy machine.

On purpose.

(EXHALES)

Why aren't you
saying anything?

Because I haven't decided
what I'm going to do.

But what you're
going to do

is get Jack
goddamn Soloff up here.

You wanted to see me?

Yes, I did.

Louis has brought
something to my attention.

And what is that?

Well, according to subsection
0-35 of the bylaws,

we broke protocol when we changed
the compensation formula.

Bullshit. There is
no subsection C-35.

You're wrong.

Here. Take a look.
JACK: I don't
need to look.

And if you're asking me to
sell this to the partners,

you're shit out of luck.

No, you're
shit out of luck.

Because Louis didn't just
come to me with the bylaws.

He admitted
that it was you

who deliberately put Harvey's salary
out there for all the world to see.

Isn't that right, Louis?

lam sorry, Jack.

I had to come clean. It was
the right thing to do.

You lying piece of shit.
JESSICA: Watch it, Jack.

You're talking
to a name partner.

And you're saying
that he's lying.

But as head of the
compensation committee,

you had access
to Harvey's salary.

I didn't leave that document
out and I can prove it.

And how is that?
I know for a fact that...

Oh, let me help you out. The
reason you stopped yourself

is that you were going to
say Louis left it out.

But if you knew that and
still didn't come forward,

then I can fire your
ass for that, too.

But you're not going to do that
because you'd also have to fire him,

and you can't afford
another shake up.

You're right.
I can't.

But I don't care,

because I'd rather
fire you both

than to let you
push me around.

So, it's up to you, Jack.

Stand by
provision C-35

or pack up your shit.

(CHUCKLES)

Forgive me, Jessica.
You're right.

Next time, I'll read the
bylaws more carefully.

You knew this whole thing would play out
this way the second it started, right?

I had a pretty good idea.
(SIGHS)

Jessica.

When am I going to
learn not to defy you?

You're never
going to learn.

But as long as I know
that, we'll be okay.

(CHUCKLES)

I...

Feel like going mudding tonight?
No.

I figured.

You better be here to tell
me Tanner's walking away.

I'm here to tell you
that I met with him today.

You went to see him
without telling me?

I left you
two messages.

So the hell what? You don't cut
me out of a meeting on my case.

Your case?

Well, Tanner has made a
settlement offer on your case

and I think that
we should take it.

Are you kidding? We have
a boot to his throat.

We don't have to settle.

All we have to do is decide
is how hard to press.

You're not pressing
on his throat,

you're pressing
on Alyssa Lang's.

So, all he has to do is claim
that he's a changed man

and you take his
side over mine?

I'm not
on his side.

Our client stands to make a fortune from
this deal without lifting a finger.

I don't give a shit. You saw what
he did and you heard what he said.

And you said when
we started this,

it would be just
like old times.

But right now, you're acting
like the bad guy, not him.

That piece of shit hasn't changed
and I'm not settling with him.

And I'm not
asking you to.

What the hell is that?

It's the original offer.

Only now, the attorney of
record is Katrina Bennett.

I had Tanner remove
himself from the case.

So, now, you're
not settling with him,

you're just doing
what's best for everyone.

Take the deal.

You sure you don't
want to read it first?

I don't have to.

(GASPS SLOWLY)

Rachel, I cannot
talk right now.

I'm going mudding
with Donna.

No, Louis. You're going
mudding with both of us.

Ah.

Oh.

Louis?

I have to say, I'm surprised you
called for another appointment.

What can I say? You telling
me that story got to me.

So, you're ready
to tell the truth.

lam.

The woman in my
dream was Donna.

Well, I'm glad you came
back to talk about it.

And since you've opened up to me,
I'm going to open up to you.

I believe you're
telling the truth.

That's opening up?

No, this is. I believe
you're telling the truth,

but I don't think the woman in
your dream was actually Donna.

I think it was
your mother.

I don't believe it.

(SIGHS)

I tell you the thing that's
been eating at me for days,

and you're
calling me a liar?

No, I'm not
calling you a liar.

Your dream was a representation
of unresolved issues.

The only unresolved
issue is

I opened up and
you're turning on me.

Harvey, bringing up your
mother isn't turning on you.

You have no idea what bringing
up my mother is to me.

No, I don't.
That's the whole point
of what we're doing here.

It doesn't matter what we're
doing here because we're done.

Harvey. Harvey, look.

I don't care how much money you make
or how many women you sleep with.

You have issues in your life that will
keep you from having real relationships.

And you can
tell yourself

all you want that it has nothing
to do with your mother.

But it's a lie,
and you know it.

Hmm. Well, like I said,

we're done.
