Suits (2011–…): Season 5, Episode 9 - Uninvited Guests - full transcript

(HARVEY READING)

Pursuant to section
28-B of the bylaws,

lam placing Harvey Specter on
immediate unpaid suspension.

That vote's not going
to go well for you.

You need to do something
to humble yourself.

What is this?

A portfolio of business I want you
to take to Pearson Specter for me.

I'm not doing it.

Am I mistaken or did we
not have this discussion?

Don't call me again.

SECRETARY:
Daniel Hardman's office.



I need to speak
to him right now.

He sent two packages.

Either move forward on one of them,
or he'll move forward on the other.

Rachel, I need you to handle
this meeting by yourself.

What? She knows that I
didn't go to law school.

I'm calling the DA's Office
right now if you don't tell me

what the
hell's going on.

We're engaged.

So, it is him.
Please. I am begging you.

It's done.

She bought it?
(SOFTLY) She did.

You think I should
stop being a lawyer?

I'm saying if you really love
her, you won't marry her.

What are you doing?



Just looking at
how beautiful you are.

I already said yes.
So, you don't have...

What got into you
this morning?

Sometimes I just think about how
we got to be here together.

And I wonder
if I deserve you.

And then, I wish that
we could just stay here

in this bed for
the rest of my life.

So do I.

Does, um...

Does this have anything to do
with the close call we had?

It does.

I just don't think I ever thanked
you enough for having my back.

Don't you know by now that I
will always have your back?

I do.

Mmm.

JESSICA: Harvey,
no matter how this goes,

we don't show weakness,
we don't show division,

and we don't
take it out on Louis.

Well, that's
gonna be tough,

because we wouldn't
even be here

if it wasn't for that
conniving son of a bitch.

JESSICA: Harvey,
Louis came to me last night.

He said he was going
to flip his vote.

So, forgive him or not,
don't antagonize him.

There's still a chance
you can get out of this.

Good morning, everyone.

Harvey,
before we vote,

would you like
to say something?

I would.

As far as the official
purpose of this vote,

I'm not going to insult any
of you by lying to you.

I hit Louis.

And I apologized
to him in private.

But what I haven't done
is apologize to all of you.

My compensation has always
been important to me.

Not for the money, but for what it
says about my place in the firm.

But this isn't a firm,
it's a partnership.

And my partners are more
important to me than money.

So, starting today, I'm reducing my
compensation to the median amount,

with the rest going to all
my partners to share.

And I'm doing this regardless
of how you vote today.

Thank you for listening.

Louis, would you like to
present an opposing view?

Let's just get
this over with.

Okay, we'll do this
by secret ballot.

The final vote is
eight for suspension

and eight against.

Which means the motion
will not carry,

therefore, Harvey
will not be suspended.

Now, if no one
has anything else,

I would like to
get back to business.

Actually, I would like to propose
a new piece of business.

Daniel Hardman just signed
a billion-dollar client.

What? And in exchange for
sharing that client with us,

he'd like to return to
the firm on a trial basis.

There is no way
Daniel Hardman

is setting foot
in this office.

Of course,
you'd think that

because that would mean more
money for the rest of us.

HARVEY:
Are you kidding me?

I just showed everyone here
I don't care about money.

You just showed us that you'll do
anything to get out of a suspension,

including bribing
the partners.

Well, you may have
fooled half of us,

but the other half
didn't buy it.

JESSICA: That's enough.

Daniel Hardman will not return to
this firm under any circumstance.

And, of course,
you back Harvey.

This is not about Harvey.
This is about my firm.

JACK:
It's always about Harvey,

and it's clear
to everyone here

that whatever he does
is fine with you.

From hitting
another partner

to turning down
millions for this firm.

You two-faced
piece of shit.

Why don't we let
the partners decide?

JESSICA: I don’t have
to let the partners decide

because this
is my decision.

And my decision is this
goddamn meeting is adjourned.

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

How the hell
did you get up here?

Carl downstairs
and I go back.

Well, you can take Carl
back where you came from

because you need an
appointment to be here.

I have something I need
to deliver to Harvey.

Then I suggest you leave it
with his secretary, Gretchen.

"His secretary,
Gretchen."

Now, there's three words I never
thought I'd hear you say.

Ooh. How long
has it been

since Harvey dumped you
onto Louis's desk?

How long has it been since
I slapped you in the face?

Because that is all I can
think about right now.

Promises, promises.

HARVEY: If you're here to take
back your old office, Daniel,

don't break out the
measuring tape just yet.

Because your plan to worm
your way in just failed.

So, you can walk
your ass out

the same way
you walked in.

Louis,
it's so fascinating

seeing you and Harvey
united like this

after all you must
have been through.

What are you talking about? Her.

I see you finally got the
better of him on something.

I didn't get the better
of him on anything.

There's no daylight
between us.

Now, get the hell
out of here.

And do it quick, before
I have to call security

to tell them I'm beating
the shit out of you.

No need.

Since you're not interested
in what I have to say,

I'll go see Jessica.

And just between
us chickens,

there's a chasm of daylight
between you two.

Hey. How's Pearson
Specter's newest partner?

Are you talking about me
or Daniel Hardman?

News travels fast.

It does when it's news
about a lying sack of shit.

Mike, I would hope that a partner
with his eye on the future

would be
more forgiving.

You mean a partner
that owes you.

You're not here about Daniel.
You're here about me.

You're goddamn
right I am.

You promoted me just to get Harvey to
trust you so that you could set him up.

No, I didn't.
Bullshit.

No. Bullshit is a gifted lawyer
being held down by partners

to whom he's pledged
his loyalty.

Which brings me back to what
I just said a minute ago.

You think you bought
my loyalty.

Mike, you can pick
whatever side you want.

But when
the dust settles

and Harvey and
Jessica are gone,

there'll be a place for you
here because I respect you.

Let me tell you
something, Jack.

When the dust settles,

you're going to be the
one begging for a place.

And I'm going to be the one
recommending they throw you out.

You really should try
one of those standing desks.

It's better on the back
for a woman of your age.

This is a standing desk
for a man of your height.

Nice to see you, Jessica.
No, it isn't.

And the last time
I saw you,

I told you to stay the
hell away from my firm.

And a good lawyer
puts aside their feelings

when there's money
on the table.

Cut the shit, Daniel.

The second you get
your foot in the door,

you'll start hatching a plan
to put me on the street.

You're right.

But thanks to you, the partners
will put you on the street, anyway.

What the hell
are you talking about?

The client I was willing
to share with you

is looking to make
numerous acquisitions.

And those acquisitions

would have been new
clients for you, too.

Instead,
we're going to start

targeting your clients
as acquisitions.

And every one we close
leaves you

and comes
right over to me.

And now, all the partners
will know why it's happening.

And your puppet,
Jack Soloff,

tells the partners if we let
you back, the bleeding stops.

Which is why I'm here.

To thank you.

It would be so much
less delightful

if you had just said yes
right away.

Well, the least you could do
is tell me your first target.

I'll give you a hint.

It's one that's
going to hit you

right where it hurts.

LAURA: I can't believe
that in a couple of months,

we'll be back here
for your wedding.

RACHEL: I know.
It's amazing.

I can't believe how much
we have left to do.

Mmm. Speaking of which...
Mmm-hmm?

What's this?

Your wedding announcement
for the Times.

I know that
you're busy,

so I took the liberty
of writing it up.

Wedding announcement.
Yes.

Um, Mom,
I don't think that...

I left a couple
of things blank.

Um, I wasn't sure where
Mike went for undergrad.

Was it Cornell
or Columbia?

(VOICE ECHOING) Oh, and was
he on the Harvard Law Review?

And they're going to want
a picture of the two of you.

I was thinking maybe
the Central Park Boathouse?

(KNIFE CLATTERING)

We're not doing
an announcement.

What?

Mike and I,
we're not interested in this.

(SCOFFS)
I don't understand.

When you read your cousin
Nicole's announcement,

you didn't have
a problem with it.

'Cause something like this
is right for Nicole.

It's not right for me.

You mean,
it's not right for Mike.

Oh, come on, Mom. What are you
talking about? Two years ago,

you wouldn't have had a problem
with something like this.

Well, it's not two years ago.
And this is how we both feel.

So, I'm just asking you
to respect my wishes

because we have
so much more to go over.

Okay?

LOUIS: I'm telling you,
it's Cutie Pie Cosmetics.

Joan's ready to retire.

No one gives a shit about
Joan Walsh's business.

It's Nader Communications.

LOUIS: Why, because
they're your client?

No, because they were Jack's
client and now they're my client.

So, this is all about you.
Louis, calm down.

No, this is all about you.
You know what?

You're the one who gave Hardman
the opening he needed.

JESSICA: Did you hear
what I just said?

Excuse me?
Yeah, you heard me.

This wouldn't
be happening

if you didn't try
to suspend me.

After you punched me
in the face.

So, if you really want
to know who's at fault here,

why don't you go take
a look in the mirror?

JESSICA: That's enough!

This is exactly
what Hardman wants.

He's trying to get us
to turn on each other.

Well, the fight is
out there, not in here.

And we have to figure out
who Hardman's target is.

Where the hell
are you going?

You're right. The fight is out
there, but Jack Soloff's in here.

You think it's a good idea
to let him go after Jack?

Oh, what's he going to do,
make him less on our side?

(SCOFFS) You're right.

There's more important things
to do here, anyway.

Yeah, and number one
on the list

is if you think that Hardman's really
going after Nader Communications,

then we need to get
over there and warn them.

MIKE: It's not Nader.
It's McKernon Motors.

It can't be McKernon.
They're too small.

Not since we did
that battery deal.

And I know
what you're gonna say.

Avery McKernon's estate still
owns too much of the stock.

But not anymore.

Who bought it'? MIKE: It
doesn't matter who bought it.

It matters who
the attorney of record is.

Let me guess, Daniel Hardman.
MIKE: Exactly.

Goddamn it!

Harvey,
what are you doing?

I'm going to see
Dominic Barone.

Well, then,
I'm going with you.

No, you're not.

They're my oldest client and
this is something I have to do.

Harvey, this is a client
that you gave to me and Louis.

Yeah, and you
were smart enough

to figure out
they were the target.

Now I need you
to use that brain

to start figuring out how we're
going to get out of this.

What are you gonna do?

I'm going to look
Dominic Barone in the eye

and tell him I'm the reason
this is happening.

Jack,l need
to talk to you.

You can save
your breath, Louis.

I know what
you're here to say.

You're here to tell me
not to go against

your precious
Harvey and Jessica.

No, I'm here to tell you that you
have no idea who you're in bed with.

Well, I appreciate your
concern for my well-being,

but I can handle myself.

No, you can't.

What difference does it make, Louis?
It's too late.

It's not too late.

You think if I suddenly
abandon Daniel,

Jessica is just going to welcome
me back with open arms?

Yes, you don't know
how forgiving she can be.

I trust her,

the only thing she's gonna forgive
me with is a knife in the back.

Jack, listen to me.

Daniel Hardman
treated me like a son.

He promoted me
to senior partner,

used me to
take over the firm.

After he lost power,
he turns around

and slaps me with a
sexual harassment claim.

I know, Monica Eton.

But what you don't know
is that it was bullshit.

He betrayed me.

Humiliated me.

And after I finally confronted
him about it, he tells me...

(SCOFFS)

...that I got what
I always wanted.

So, Jack, believe me,

if you think this man
cares about you,

he doesn't.

I know what kind
of man he is, Louis.

Then why are you
siding with him?

I'll tell you why.

He promised to do something
Jessica never would.

Put my name on the wall.

What if she would?

You're not in reality.

Jack, she did it for me.

Even if I wanted to go
with you, I couldn't.

He's got something
on you, doesn't he?

This conversation
is over.

(MACHINE WHIRRING)

Harvey, what the hell?

I just got notification
of a tender offer.

They're coming
after my company.

I know.
That's why I'm here.

So, they sent
the big guns to fight

because it's
a hostile takeover.

I'm not here because
it's a hostile takeover.

I'm here because this
whole thing is my fault.

What do you mean,
your fault?

The reason you're
in the crosshairs

is because Daniel Hardman
has a vendetta against me.

You're telling me
we just closed a deal

that ensures
this company's future

and you put it in jeopardy because
you pissed off your former partner?

Yes, that's what
I'm telling you.

Goddamn it!

Well, what do you
want me to do, Dominic?

I want you to stop being
an asshole to people.

It's too late for that.

But it may not be
too late for this.

Drop us
as your attorneys.

What? As long as you're
connected to us...

There's going to be
a target on your back.

You let us go, there's
a chance it goes away.

Harvey, if I was just going to out
you loose because someone hates you,

I wouldn't have hired you
in the first place.

Because we both know
I used to hate you.

Thanks, Dominic.

So, what are we gonna do?
I'll let you know.

But I'll tell you this.

If they want a war,
they got a war.

Hey, Rach, do you have that Neilson
brief for Louis from last month?

No, I don't.

Are you sure?

Because he keeps telling
me that you have it.

And I keep
telling him I don't,

and I have more
important things to do

than sit around and answer the
same question every other day.

And I have better things to do with my
time than to be spoken to that way.

(SIGHS) I'm sorry.

Rachel,
what's going on?

I just had lunch with my mom
to talk about our wedding

and she wants to put an
announcement in the New York Times.

Oh, my God.

Did you tell her that
she can't do that?

Yeah. I made up some story
about it being snobby.

But, Donna, that's just
the tip of the iceberg.

What are you
talking about?

This is her proposed guest list.
It is 300 people.

It includes the
Attorney General

and the dean
of Harvard Law.

(SIGHS)

What am I going to do?

You're going to tell her that you don't
want a big wedding and that's that.

And if I do that, she's going to
know that something's not right.

Rachel, this is
the type of argument

that every mother has with every
daughter about her wedding.

She's never gonna think
that Mike's a fraud.

How did Dominic take it?

He took it fine.

Good,
because I have a plan.

Let's hear it.
We go to the last place

they'd ever expect
and we offer to merge.

Where?
Fletcher Engines.

Are you crazy?

We go to Fletcher, they're
gonna kick Dominic out,

Jack gains power,

and we might as well
have let McKernon

get bought out
in the first place.

Then the only other option that's even
remotely possible is we take them private.

That actually might work.

Come to think of it,

why the hell didn't you just say
that to me in the first place?

Because I knew you'd shit on
whatever my first idea was

and that you'd be
open to the backup.

You're telling me you set up
a straw man idea

to manipulate me into
liking your real idea?

How long you been doing that?
Yep.

Peabody v. Danthorpe.

Son of a bitch.

All right, smart guy.

Now, where are we gonna get the money
for the equity? I'll tell you where.

Sidwell and Gianopolous.

Is that another
straw man idea?

Because you'll never get the two of
them to go in on a deal together.

They hate each other.

Oh, those two hating each other
is exactly what I'm counting on.

RACHEL: Hey, Mom.

Oh, Rachel,
you're just in time.

The caterer dropped off
some samples.

I was just about
to try them.

But it will be much more fun
if we do this together.

Okay, Mom, look,
but before you pour that...

I don't think that the
crostini travels very well.

Mom, please.

I know that you have
given this a lot of thought.

But I need to talk to you
about the size of the wedding.

It's way too big.

I have given this
a lot of thought

and 30 people
at a wedding

isn't going to get
a chef like this.

Right, but I'm not having
a wedding based on the chef.

And I'm not here
to talk about the menu.

I'm here to talk
about the guest list.

Rachel, did I ever tell
you what your father did

three weeks before
we got married?

He bought two tickets to Bermuda
and said, "We're eloping."

And he did that because he didn't
want to deal with my mother.

But you know what
stopped me?

I knew that I would regret doing that
to my mom for the rest of my life.

But I told you, this isn't about
Mike and it isn't about eloping.

This is just about me
not wanting

to get married in front of hundreds
of people that I don't know.

What's going on here,
Rachel?

I'm telling you what's going on,
you're just not hearing me.

I don't want
this big of a wedding.

I'm hearing you,

but I know my own daughter and there is
something that you're not telling me.

Okay, Mom, yes, there is something
that I'm not telling you.

And that's because it's
really hard for me to say it.

You keep thinking
that this is about Mike.

Well, it's not.

This is about you not accepting
that it's my wedding,

and it's not yours.

Rachel.

And if you can't figure out
a way to accept that,

then I think maybe
we will have to elope.

Jessica, can I talk
to you for a second?

Can it wait
until tomorrow?

No.

I think we should consider promoting
Jack Soloff to name partner.

Are you crazy?

Jessica, we are
under attack.

And you're asking me
to reward our enemy.

No, I'm asking you to bring our
enemy's right hand over to our side.

Louis, it's late.
I'm going home.

Jessica, you have to listen to me.
Please!

Hardman's got
something on him.

Has what on him?

I don't know.

But until two months ago, the only
thing we knew about Jack Soloff

was that he bills more hours
than anyone but me.

So, what, you think he just woke up one day
and became mastermind of a palace coup?

The question isn't who's in
charge between those two.

It's whether Jack is a
volunteer or a conscription.

I'm telling you
I talked to him

and he's doing all this staring
down the barrel of a gun.

Then putting Jack's name on the
door only gives Daniel more power.

What are you saying? If
Hardman has something on him,

then we need to
have it on him, too.

So, instead of telling me
that we should promote him,

why don't you get
to work on that?

They call me freedom falling,
don't you hear me calling

Don't you wish
you'd never let me in

I won't rest
till I get what I get

I thought I made it clear
last time we talked.

I'm not interested in
whatever you're selling.

Well, you're going
to be interested in this.

JONATHAN:
There is no deal

you're going to put
in front of my face

that's going to make me want
to get in business with you.

You're not doing it
to get in business with me,

you're doing it to keep me from getting
into business with Tony Gianopolous.

Because right now, Harvey is over
there pitching him the same deal.

You think I give a shit what
deals Harvey Specter does'?

I think you give a shit what
deals Jonathan Sidwell does.

And you're here to pit us against
each other just to jack up the price.

Damn right, I am. Then you can walk
your ass out that door right now.

Because I guarantee you that's
what Sidwell's telling Harvey.

And what Harvey's
telling him

is that one of you is going
to be on CNBC tomorrow

announcing
their new deal.

And the other one's going to be left
with nothing but his dick in his hand.

So, it's up to you.

But whoever calls first is going
to have it over the other one

for the rest
of their life.

Clock's ticking,
Tony.

I get a text and he
beats you to the punch,

I walk out that door.

MIKE: So, what's
it gonna be?

You're a son of a bitch.

I like that.

I'm in.

I'm in.

Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, yeah.

No. No. Listen.

I don't care
when they need it.

I get 15 minutes a day
to eat my breakfast

and I didn't get it
this morning. Okay?

I just reheated
my Egg McMuffin

and I'm going
to eat it in peace.

Hello, beautiful.
(SNIFFING)

Finally,
it's just you and me.

LOUIS: Barnaby, right?

Actually,
it's Benjamin.

And I'm kind of on my... Oh,
I don't care what you're on.

I need everything
you have on Jack Soloff.

I don't know
what that means.

It means that I need
a detailed account

of all the cases he's worked
on since he started here.

Well, that's really more of a file
room issue, so... Hey, Benson.

If I wanted to go
to the file room,

I'd go to the
goddamn file room.

But I don't,
because I also want

all billing records, phone
records, personal emails...

Whoa. Personal emails?
Yes.

If he scheduled a prostate
exam, I want to know about it.

Isn't that just part of
the annual check-up?

What are you, C. Everett Koop?
Just get it done.

And the next time
I ask you to do something,

do it without asking any stupid questions.
You got it?

You know, Mike Ross
always brings me food.

What?
I'm just saying,

whenever Michael needs a
favor, he brings me something.

You know, like a warm bag
of bacon or French fries.

This isn't a favor.
This is your goddamn job.

So, get me what
I asked for pronto

or the next time, I'll stop by and
bring you a warm bag of shit.

And now, I don't even
want my Egg McMuffin.

Hey, Donna, do you have a second?
Of course.

Rachel, what's wrong?

I talked to my mom
last night.

And I take it
it didn't go well.

No.
It went horribly.

And I...
I threatened to elope.

Rachel, it's okay.

Look, we talked
about this.

If she's thinking that
you're being difficult,

then she's not thinking
something else is going on.

No, no. But she could tell
that I'm hiding something.

And I had to sit there
and lie to her and...

And tell her that
it was her fault.

Rachel, she's not
gonna know about Mike.

You don't get it.
I, um...

I'm thinking about
telling my mom the truth.

Rachel, that is
a bad idea.

Your mom can get over some spat
about the size of your wedding.

But she's not going
to get over this.

All I know is my mom
loves me no matter what.

I understand that.

But Rachel,
if you do this,

you're going to be burdening
your mother with a secret

that she has to keep from your
father for the rest of her life.

How did you two
get in here?

You showed us
you can get to us.

Now you know
we can get to you.

Then you must be here to hand
me the keys to McKernon Motors.

Actually, we're here
to inform you that

McKernon Motors
is going private.

DANIEL: That's all
well and good,

but there's the matter
of my tender offer,

which is up to
the shareholders.

And my 20%
is voting to take it.

MIKE: Good for you.

We're pretty sure the other 80% is
going to want to take our offer,

seeing as it is $10 per
share higher than yours.

Bullshit. Where did you
get that kind of money?

We got it at the United Bank of
Take Your Ass Back to Jersey.

So, you can keep coming after
us all you want, Daniel.

But they're all going
to end up just like this.

Then I'm going to raise
my offer, $10 a share.

Because if you two think
you can beat me, you can't.

Told you.

Told him what? HARVEY:
That was your ceiling.

He thought it was
$15 a share more.

I thought you had
bigger balls.

Either way, we just wanted
to find out what it was

so we could come over
the top and crush you.

MIKE: Because our real offer
is $20 more per share.

And we don't care
who your investor is,

there's no way they're paying more
than that just to fund your grudge.

See you around, Daniel.

By the way, Mike
pissed in your bonsai.

MIKE: Yeah,
that's right.

Two times.

MIKE: By the way, nice Usual
Suspects reference back there.

HARVEY: Oh,
you caught that.

MIKE: Yeah, I caught it.
What do you think I am?

Nothing, I just didn't think
you'd get it, it was so subtle.

Trust me, not so subtle.

Well, if it was
so ham-fisted,

why didn't you just
chime in back there?

Because I was there
to stick it to Hardman,

not clown around
with some quote-fest.

That's the difference
between you and me.

I can do both at the same time.
Really?

At your age, I'm surprised
that you can even make it

through a meeting that long
without having to pee.

Okay, why do you always have to
go straight to the prostate?

It's so distasteful.
Oh, right.

And you telling Hardman that I peed
in his bonsai was just pure class.

I didn't say you peed in his
bonsai, I said you pissed in it.

What are you, five?
Oh!

And by the way,
you were the one

who told him
you did it twice.

Because you started it.
I had to lean in.

It's called "committing."

Then how about you commit to buying
the next round for a change?

I'd love to,
but I can't.

I've got to go
meet Rachel at her mom's

to talk about
some wedding stuff.

Well, I'd love
to join you,

but I'd rather have
a prostate exam.

There you go. See? You're leaning in.
I'm proud of you.

Excuse me, ma'am.

Can you make sure
to cut him off

when he starts
mumbling about how

they don't make shows like
Welcome Back, Kotter anymore?

What are you
doing here, Daniel?

I'm just wondering what
color to paint the walls.

I've never been
partial to red.

Instead of commenting
on my wall color,

why don't you go back
to your office?

Lick your wounds.

What wounds?
I'm about to win.

Well, you have a funny
definition of "win."

Since we just blew your best
offer out of the water.

Here's a copy
of my new offer.

It will be in
the Journal tomorrow.

There's no way the deal
holds up under this price.

And once your client figures that
out, your offer falls through.

Well, then, lucky for me,
my client's Japanese

and the dollar just took
a dive against the yen.

So, my deal will hold up
and then some.

You know, I don't give a shit
where your client's from.

I don't lose to you.
Yes, you do.

Because after this deal, there will
be another one, and another one

and another one.

Because you took
my firm from me

and I'm going to take it
right back from you.

Get the hell out
of my office, Daniel.

Before I do something
you'll regret.

Speaking of walls,

how does it feel to have
them closing in on you?

Son of a bitch!

Louis,
is something wrong?

See this?

It contains everything
on God's green earth

there is to know about
Jack Edward Soloff.

From his pirate beard
to his stupid pen

that he carries around
like Linus's blanket.

And? And there's no dirt on him.

There's not one case
he crossed the line on.

There's no debts.
Nothing.

(USB DRIVE CLATTERS)

Louis.
Did you hear me?

If Soloff did something
and Hardman's a part of it,

it is buried so deep, we'll
never even see the top of it,

let alone get to
the bottom of it.

Louis, I'm about to tell you
something I never thought I would.

What?

The night that Harvey and Mike put
it together about Daniel and C.M.?

They got stoned first.

What?

They thought you and Daniel had
them and they were screwed

and they figured
"What the hell?"

So, they bought some
marijuana and they got high.

Are you suggesting
we take the pot?

It worked for them. Well, it's
not going to work for me.

Louis.
Donna, look at me.

Do I look like someone who needs
to be hungry and paranoid?

Relax, it was
just a suggestion.

Well, it was a stupid
goddamn suggestion.

And if that's
all you have,

just walk your ass
out of here.

Louis,
what is going on?

Why are you
so angry at me?

I'm not angry at you. I'm
angry at myself. Louis...

After the vote, Harvey told me it was
my fault and you want to know what?

He's right.

Harvey says
a lot of things.

You told me, too.
What?

This whole thing started
because I told Jack

that he could bring up Harvey's
compensation for a vote

and you told me not to.

Well, then, maybe
it's my fault, too.

Because this whole thing
really started

when you tried to make
things right with Harvey

for me coming
to work for you.

Donna, are you saying
you regret coming to me?

No, Louis.

I'm saying maybe I had
a hand in this, too.

What do we do now?
We keep looking together.

And if we can't find anything,
then we tell Jessica the truth.

(DOOR OPENING)

Laura, hi.
How are you?

Where's Rachel?

I thought for sure
she'd beat me here.

Uh,
Rachel's not coming.

I told her
I wasn't feeling well

because I wanted
to talk to you alone.

Is something wrong?

Yes, there is.

Rachel told me today

that she wants
to scale back the wedding,

and that you two
are in sync on this.

Sounds like
you don't believe her.

I found it
hard enough to believe

that she wouldn't want to put
an announcement in the Times.

But that my little girl

who always dreamed of getting
married at The Plaza Hotel

now only wants
a handful of people there?

I'm sorry, Michael.

I just don't buy it.

This is coming from
you, isn't it?

You're right.

It is.

And I'll tell you why.

I don't have a family.

And I don't have a lot of
people that I can invite.

And I asked her if
we could please keep

the entire wedding
low key.

And she said that
she would do that for me.

And I understand that.

I think it's incredibly
sweet of her

to be willing
to do that for you.

But...

If you could find it
in your heart

to let my daughter have the
wedding that she's always wanted,

lam telling you,

she'll remember it
for the rest of her life.

Again?

You know, I'd really prefer
it if I gave you a key

so I wouldn't have to wonder
how you keep getting in.

And I'd really prefer it if you checked
your cell phone every once in a while

so that I wouldn't have
to keep doing this.

I have a cell phone?
You do.

And if you'd
checked it.

You'd know that Daniel Hardman
topped our bid by 20%.

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

Because the dollar took
a dive against the yen

and it turns out
his client is Japanese.

Goddamn it, we are not losing
to that son of a bitch.

Why the hell do you
think I'm here?

We need to go back to
Gianopolous and get more money.

Jessica, he's not going
to pay that much.

No one in his
right mind would.

Then go to somebody
who's not in his right mind,

because that lying bastard
isn't going to stop

until his name
is back up on the wall.

Wait a second.

The dollar took a dive
against the yen two weeks ago.

Which means there's something
else going on here.

Oh, I'll tell you
what's going on.

Hardman's been playing
with us this whole time.

What are you saying?

I'm saying I need to go
see a guy about a thing.

(DOOR CLOSES)
RACHEL: Hey.

Where were you?

I was with your morn.
What?

Didn't you get the message?
She had to postpone.

She didn't postpone,
Rachel.

She blindsided me.

What are you
talking about?

Why didn't you tell me
you were fighting with her?

Because mothers
and daughters fight

about weddings
all the time.

Yeah, but you weren't
fighting about the wedding,

you were fighting
about my secret.

And what does that
have to do with anything?

Because she doesn't
even know it.

Because I'm trying
to protect you.

I understand that, but you have
to share these things with me.

Because instead
of protecting me,

you hung me out to dry.

And how exactly
did I do that?

By making it seem
like I'm the one

that's taking away
your dream wedding.

You are the one taking
away my dream wedding.

Rachel...

I'm sorry.
It's just, it's a lot.

And she wanted to make this
announcement in the New York Times,

and had this
huge guest list

and the dean of Harvard
Law, and I just...

I don't want you
to get caught.

You don't want me
to get caught,

or you don't
want to marry me?

What?

I went to see Claire.

I know she knows.

And I want to know if that made you
have second thoughts about us.

(LAUGHS AND SNIFFS)

You went to see Claire?
Why...

Why didn't you
tell rne that?

Because she told me that if I really
loved you, I wouldn't marry you.

And I was afraid
to tell you that

because I thought maybe
you feel the same way.

Well, it, um...

It sounds like you're the one
who's having second thoughts.

No.

No, I'm not having
second thoughts.

But I do hate the idea

that I am somehow
dragging you into something

that is going
to ruin your life.

You are not dragging me
into anything

and you are not
ruining my life.

Mike, I don't care about The
Plaza, or who comes, or...

I don't care
about any of it.

The only thing
that matters to me

is that the man that
I'm marrying is you.

And if you take
that away from me...

(SOBBING) I don't...

I don't know... Rachel, listen.
Look at me. Look at me.

I'm not going anywhere.
Okay?

We're getting married.

And it can be
as small as possible,

with just our close
friends, okay?

Okay.
Okay.

(ELEVATOR BELL DINGS)

I need to talk to you.
What is it, Louis?

I couldn't find
what Hardman has on Jack.

That doesn't sound
like something

you needed to be waiting
by the elevators to tell me.

I've been thinking.

What if we tell him we'll
only make him name partner

if he takes a public stand
against Daniel first?

That way, even if he tries to go
against it later, it won't work.

Did you speak to him about this?
I have.

And?

He said he'll be onboard.
And Jessica, I believe him.

Then tell him to come see me
at the end of the day.

Hey.

Turns out
I'm getting married.

(CHUCKLING)
Yeah, I know.

And I was telling
my future mother-in-law

about how I didn't have
any friends or any family,

when I realized...

Whatever happened
between you and me,

you're the closest thing
to family that I have.

So, what do you say
we get together?

You wanted to see me?

I did.

I, uh...

I just want to say,

based on what Louis said
that you're prepared to do...

Louis has no idea
what I'm prepared to do.

Because the only thing
I'm prepared to do

is give you a chance
to come to Jesus.

And you're
looking at her.

Come to Jesus about what?

Stop tap dancing,
Jack.

What the hell does Daniel
Hardman have on you?

You can ask me that
question a million times.

I'm never even going to
acknowledge its premise.

Then you just did.

And if it's that bad and
Daniel knows it and I don't,

then I only have
one choice.

So, what I'm prepared
to do now is this.

Resign tonight

and I'll waive
your non-compete.

What?

Oh, you didn't
actually think

I was going to make you
a name partner, did you?

Here's my counter.

You resign

and I waive
your non-compete.

You want me gone,
call for a vote.

You want me gone,
you do the same thing.

Because I'm a partner
as much as you

and you're the one
on the ropes.

I'm not on shit.

Because we know what's going
on with Daniel's investor

and Harvey's about to put
a stop to it right now.

If you really knew what was going
on between Daniel and his investor,

you'd know that's never
going to happen.

Then I guess we'll just
have to see what we see.

Harvey Specter,
what a nice surprise.

Want to play
a little pool?

We go for $10,000
a game in here.

You're playing a lot more
expensive game than that,

funding Daniel Hardman
to be your front man.

And you're welcome
to go ahead and prove that.

But he's got
full power of attorney

until I get out of here
in two years.

Yeah, I don't care how
many years you have left.

It's about to feel like
the rest of your life.

Because this is where
you're going to spend it.

Bullshit.

Only the Bureau of Prisons
can approve a transfer.

I know.
But the thing is,

I went to see
Sean Cahill today.

Turns out he wants you
to testify in a trial.

So, you can call the Bureau
of Prisons all you want.

By the time your lawyers
get you out,

you're never going
to be the same again.

I get it.

You want me to stop
backing Hardman.

And you go back
to working on your break

and I don't have
to see your face again.

You're living in a
dream world, pal.

Because that's
never going to happen.

Well, then,
here's my advice.

When you get to Rikers,
drink bleach.

It will get you sent to the infirmary.
It's much safer there.

Oh, I don't need to go
to the infirmary.

Because I got something
that's going to keep me

as safe as a baby
in his mother's arms.

Money.

You take that chance,
Charles.

But if there's one guy who doesn't
give a shit about your money,

he's going to get you

and nobody's going
to stop him.

Here's the thing,
Harvey.

Nobody doesn't give
a shit about money.

Besides, in a week,
I'll be right back here

picking off your clients
one by one.

You want to stop me?

Step down.

What?

You resign,
his money goes away.

I knew it.

You care about
the people there,

just like you cared about your
little brother way back when.

No way.

No deal.

Now, before you give me
an answer,

you came here tonight

because you know you're
going to lose, anyway.

So, why not save whatever poor
sap it is while you still can?

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

Because,

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

And I sure as hell don't
give a shit about your firm.

All I want to do

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

Trevor.

Hey, man. Hey.

MIKE: Thanks for coming.

TREVOR: Yeah, hey,
I'm glad you called.

MIKE: Yeah, me, too.

Listen,
about the last time,

I said some things... Oh,
we both said some things.

But I did some things.

And I'm sorry.

Well, uh, I have a way
you can make it up to me.

Come to my wedding.

It means a lot to me that you
want me there. But I'm sorry.

I can't.

What? What do you
mean, you can't?

Look,
I'm married now

and I promised my wife that that
part of my life is behind me.

What does that have to do
with you coming to my wedding?

She didn't even want me
to meet you here.

Don't you get it?

You're breaking
the law every day.

You're judging me?

No, I'm not judging you.
Okay?

Nothing would
make me happier

than to raise a glass
to your new life.

But I can't.

And you shouldn't,
either.

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

No, I'm saying
you should quit.

(LAUGHS)

Oh, okay.

Well, thank you for
the advice, Trevor.

But I don't think
I'm going to do that.

Michael.

The longer you go,
the less the money matters.

The food doesn't
taste as good.

The car isn't fast enough.
The view isn't high enough.

And finally, you realize that
you would trade it all in

for one night
of going to bed

where you don't
have to worry,

"When are they going
to come for me?"

You almost got caught,
didn't you?

No, I didn't. I just
couldn't take it anymore.

So, finally, I went
to talk to someone.

Who?

You know who.

I've got to go.

Take care, Michael.
